Lou Xiaoyi's words instantly made the scene extremely awkward. This was because his words had exposed the fact that in the Kingdom of Ye, men had the right to divorce their wives and return to their parents' home!
This truth mercilessly shattered the girls' fantasies, causing a happy topic to slip into a heavy mood. It also slapped all the scholars in the face. This was because in the Kingdom of Ye, the group with the highest probability of divorcing their wives was not the peddlers, but the scholars!
The girls' sense of superiority was mercilessly exposed by Lou Xiaoyi, this guy who didn't know how to be romantic. Yes, the so-called blind dates and so-called choices were just self-comforting and self-deceiving. How much could they really make up their own minds?
Even if they really liked a young man, the final decision would always be made by their parents. Even the matchmaker's words were more important than their feelings. Status, wealth, talent, future, among countless other factors, their opinions would always be ranked last.
This was more like a game, a last game before saying goodbye to childishness and stepping into the life of an adult. They were the dolls in the game, controlled by others and anesthetized by themselves.
For a moment, the girls were dispirited and felt bored. This awkwardness was noticed by the sharp Wushuang, and an uncontrollable anger surged in his heart.
Of course, he had reason to be angry because he knew that no matter how outstanding he was, it was very likely that he would be defeated by these rich second generation officials who relied on their parents' influence. Even if he and Miss Lin were in love, the possibility of them being together was very slim. The reason he came here was to express his feelings in front of everyone, so that those rich second generation officials would back off. Nominally, it would affect the public's opinion that he and Miss Lin were a match made in heaven. This way, those big families who valued their family's reputation would stay away from Miss Lin.
This was the thought that he could not say out loud! Even in a third-tier city like Pu City, how could a child from a poor family obtain such an outstanding reputation if they were not scheming?
It needed to be managed!
He slowly walked in front of Lou Xiaoyi and said, "You need to take responsibility for what you said today! A good spring gathering, the dreams of many young people, was destroyed by you just like that!
Say it yourself. Poems, poems, essays, essays? You can choose whatever you want! As long as you can defeat me, I will apologize to you in front of everyone in Pu City!
If you can't do it, you don't have to bow to me. You just have to apologize to the ladies and tell them that you, Mr. Lou, lack manners and that you are full of crap! "
Lou Xiaoyi looked at him in surprise. This scholar seemed to be very angry? Why? I didn't steal his wife. On the contrary, his nonsense ruined my chance.
"I don't really understand what you're saying … Is there any meaning to it? What can you prove by defeating me? "
Wushuang glared at him, "You ruined the fun of the Spring Gathering! You made all the womenfolk unhappy! Now you're asking me what's the point?
Did the upbringing of the Lousima Manor produce a scoundrel like you? "
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He threw the fan in his hand to the ground. His voice was so loud that it could be heard by the entire Spring Rain Pavilion.
In fact, they had heard about it a long time ago. Since the story of the fall into the water, as the three most outstanding women, many people had been secretly paying attention to them. Now that they saw the most famous scholar of the younger generation in Pu City challenging the dignity of Lou Province, they couldn't help but feel excited.
The last sentence was very serious. On the surface, it seemed like he was mocking Lou Xiaoyi for his lack of manners. In fact, he was doubting Lou Province's reputation and doubting the upbringing of his mother, Lou Xiaoyi. Everyone knew that Lou Xiaoyi's father died when he was young and his mother brought him up.
Lou Xiaoyi sighed.
"Sigh, Brother Wushuang, do you know what's the scariest thing about upbringing in this world?
If a rich family produces a rich second generation, it's not scary because they can afford it!
The scariest thing is if an ordinary family produces a rich second generation's temperament. That's the real deal!
Poverty isn't a protective talisman for arrogance!
The children of the rich and powerful need to respect the wise, and the poor need to be careful with their words and actions. Heaven is fair to everyone, so I shouldn't bully others. But at the same time, you can't break a broken pot and smash it, right?
There are some words that shouldn't be said! "
He slowly bent down. Everyone thought that he was helping Wushuang pick up the fan. Even Wushuang thought so. Those who were watching from the side couldn't help but secretly praise him. As expected of the Young Master of the Sima Manor. His magnanimity wasn't something an ordinary person could compare to.
However, there were also those who were disdainful. The dignified Young Master of Lou Province was being reprimanded like this, yet he still wanted to pick up the fan for a jealous girl. Wasn't that too cowardly? Ever since Sima Lou left Lou Province, the masculine atmosphere had disappeared. This was also the feeling of many people present.
The pavilions of Little Night Lake were built with lake stones as the foundation, with square bricks as the ground, and wooden structures on top. The square bricks were only slightly bigger than a palm and were made with kiln fire. They were harder than soil, but not as hard as porcelain. After all, this was a public place and not a private garden. The maintenance was only so-so. The square bricks on the ground were often loose and in disrepair. If they weren't connected together, no one would care about them.
Lou Xiaoyi slowly bent down and very naturally dug out a square brick that had long been loose from the ground. He then stood up very naturally, raised his hand very naturally, and smashed it down very naturally …
With a 'bang', the square brick shattered into pieces. Young Master Wushuang's forehead exploded with dust, and he fell backwards.
At the side, Lou Xiaoyi clapped his hands and said softly, "If you say something wrong or do something wrong, you have to pay the price. This is the upbringing of my Sima Manor!"
Young Master Wushuang, who had fallen to the ground, had a large patch of blood seeping out of his forehead. His forehead had been smashed, but the injury wasn't fatal. The bleeding was also caused by the sharp corner of the turning stone. As for whether or not there would be repercussions after being smashed, who would care about that?
However, as the blood flowed, Lou Xiaoyi, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly tensed up. His breath surged, and his vision blurred. He couldn't control himself, and in less than two or three breaths, he fell to the ground with his face facing the sky, unconscious, just like Wushuang!
In just a few breaths, the verbal fight had turned into a physical fight. The strange thing was that both parties were lying on the ground. Other than a few people who were closest to the front, many people didn't understand what had happened.
The screams of women resounded throughout the entire Little Night Lake. Moreover, it was the screams of more than ten people! It stirred up a large number of water birds, which chirped and circled in the sky …
There were also people who reacted quickly. Lou Province's Old Army was the first to rush to the young master's side. Without saying anything, he carried the young master on his back and turned to leave. The sharp-eyed guests could even see that in Old Army's empty right sleeve, there was a gleaming short sword that was faintly emitting a cold light …
Ping An opened up a path in front. As he ran, he complained, "You clearly know that he's dizzy at blood. Why did you smack him!"
Old Army chuckled, "I didn't teach him for nothing! Without any change in expression, he struck like a thunderbolt. This smack is very good! "
