Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 3914 40. Moral Education Makes the Country Prosperous (Wu Xuanyue and Shan Lingyao Chat over Wine)

"Speaking of which, this "Xiang Shu" is also strange. It's just like when we were in Wumen. It was not allowed by the upper class, but it was widely sung by the lower class."

Shan Lingyao only saw that Wu Xuanyue's face was not looking good, but he was smart. The tone of his speech was not dominant, but he intentionally led the conversation to the outside world and used public opinion to cater to Wu Xuanyue's wishes. Perhaps this way could make Wu Xuanyue feel better.

"That's right~ After all, this kind of song is criticizing those upper-level officials who don't do anything. Who would like to listen to it? The lower-class people have been oppressed all the time, but they have no power to fight back, and they are not allowed to sing to vent their emotions. Is there any justice in this world?"

After Wu Xuanyue sneered, she winked at Shan Lingyao in the direction of the medicine cabinet.

Shan Lingyao understood it immediately, jumped off the kang, and walked straight to the medicine cabinet that Wu Xuanyue brought from Nanxiang. He opened the cabinet door and saw rows of "medicinal wine" neatly arranged.

Shan Lingyao took a jar of wine and returned to the couch. He opened the lid of the wine and poured a glass of wine for Wu Xuanyue and himself.

What appear to be packaged jars of medicinal liquor in this cabinet are actually Wu Xuanyue's private stock. They are the osmanthus wine that she had shipped to her through the relationship with Cao Yunfei.

When Shan Lingyao saw that the drinks on the table were far from enough, she turned around and went back to her room. After a while, she came back with a few bags of delicious food in her hands.

The paper packages were opened one by one, revealing some dried fish, meat jerky, peanuts and other snacks.

Seeing this, Wu Xuanyue's eyes lit up, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she was really excited.

"Haha~ Lingyao, you still understand me~"

Seeing Wu Xuanyue's mood turn from gloomy to sunny, Shan Lingyao finally felt relieved and slowly sat back in his seat, accompanying her drinking and chatting.

"Speaking of the meaning of "Xiang Shu", Miss is also an intelligent person. She will know the general meaning of the lyrics as soon as she hears it."

"When you put it like that, I suddenly find it ridiculous. It's true that people are shaped by the environment they live in. They're all rats. The way of life in Wumen is the same as that in Dongcang. It seems that the rats raised in these places are not of the same species."

"After all, the land of Dongcang is full of celebrities and nobles. They all think highly of themselves, are well-read, boast of being knowledgeable, and talk about etiquette, but secretly they have done countless despicable things. The common people are not smart, but they won't be stupid forever. Can't they learn from being fooled once? How can the common people not get angry when they are fooled again and again?"

"Calling evil with good can certainly show the badness of evil, but comparing one evil with another makes it even worse. Rats are already so disgusting, but the author of this poem also uses them to set off those who are hypocritical and have lost their sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame. It can be seen that people without virtues cause far more disgust than rats. What a good sentence, 'Rats have skins, but people have no manners. If people have no manners, why don't they die?' Perhaps in the author's view, the rat still has a skin, but as a human, it has no dignity. Such people don't deserve to live in the world, and it's better for them to die early."

Wu Xuanyue drank several glasses of wine in succession, and under the influence of alcohol, he expressed his deepest emotion.

After listening to this, Shan Lingyao also continued the conversation: "The mouse has teeth, but the human has no self-control. If the human has no self-control, why should he not die? The mouse has a body, but the human is rude! If the human is rude, why doesn't he die quickly? The author probably wants to express a very clear meaning. Look at the mouse, it still has teeth. How can a human be shameless? If a human has no sense of shame, it is better to die. The mouse still has dignity, so how can a human not know etiquette? If a human is rude, it is better for him to die."

Hearing this, Wu Xuanyue burst into laughter. She felt that the lyrics were very humorous and every word touched her heart.

"Well said. The three chapters have similar meanings, but they are definitely not the repetitive and long-winded abuses of ordinary poets. Instead, they are very enjoyable to listen to. Each chapter goes a step further than the previous one in meaning, and the words become increasingly intense, which also shows that the author is becoming more and more excited. "Yi", "Chi" and "Li" are just a change of one word, which reveals the despicable and dirty qualities of some people from the outside to the inside, from the shallow to the deep. While revealing the ugly faces step by step, the emotions of the author gradually heat up, and each question is more sharp than the last, and each sentence is more furious than the last. There is definitely a posture of wanting to get rid of those corrupt people from others before he can get rid of his hatred."

"Miss, you are in a good mood~"

Wu Xuanyue was not commenting on poetry, but was simply cynically criticizing the actions of the immoral and incompetent people in the Quan family. "Fortunately, fortunately~ Hey~ I didn't expect that the common people of the Quan family still have such backbone and ideas."

"Where there is oppression there is resistance. This person has been oppressed by his class for a long time, so there is no reason for him not to resist. Even if the flame of resistance is weak, it is better than nothing."

"That's true. The people of this Quan family are filled with rats. No wonder this dynasty is at its wit's end. It's rotten from the root. How can we save it?"

"Yeah...how can we save him?"

Hearing this, Shan Lingyao also sighed. He thought that this silly Shangguan Kunyang was still childish and had no idea what the future fate of the Quan family would be. He was just enjoying the present moment without knowing what to do.

"Are you distressed?"

"Isn't it... I just think it's a pity that such a prosperous country was destroyed because of it~"

"Who said he would be destroyed?"

Unexpectedly, Wu Xuanyue changed the subject, raised his glass and invited him to drink, his face full of deep mockery.

Seeing this, Shan Lingyao's eyes flickered. After she was stunned for a moment, she subconsciously raised her glass to agree.

He asked with a stammer.

"Miss...what does this mean?"

"If the root is rotten, we must cure it from the root. The Quan family is so big, if you let them destroy the country, won't we become sinners for all eternity? What they lack is a core leader to control them. At present, the older generation has been almost corrupted by power, and it is really difficult to correct them. However, the Quan family is not without hope."

"Hope...Miss, the hope you're talking about is..."

"Shangguan Kunyang!"

Wu Xuanyue said in a decisive tone. This answer made Shan Lingyao excited but also a little sad.

"He...how can he do that?"

"Why can't he? A piece of white paper can be painted with different colorful colors, and can also depict magnificent mountains and rivers. It is better than removing black marks on black paper. After all, no matter how hard you try, it will only be a gray background at most, and it will never go back to the original white color..."

"I understand what the lady means...but Shangguan Kunyang is really stupid!"

"He is not stupid, but his power was sealed by my father since he was a child, because my father knew that he was the only hope of the Quan family in the future... But when revealing his physical power, he always needs a master to teach him how to be a human being. If he doesn't know how to be a human being, then absolute power means destruction to all mankind..."
