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

Chapter 827 486. Metaphorical beating (Marquis Shangguan intentionally beat Dongfang Shuo)

Shangguan Marquis raised his eyebrows while tasting the wine, looked at the wine in the glass, and chuckled: "Yeah! There is some truth in what he said. Keep talking -"

Dongfang Shuo lowered his head, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. As he considered his words, his heart was pounding. He couldn't figure out what the Lord meant now. He suddenly asked himself about the meaning of lotus. I'm afraid it was just a word. Puns, metaphorical hints, intentional knocking of one's own meaning.

As for his own words, those words were pleasing to the Lord's ears, and those words would plunge him into the abyss. Dongfang Shuo considered it carefully and spoke slowly and sincerely. In fact, his brain could no longer keep up with his mouth.

Dongfang Shuo was extremely nervous and thought to himself: In this important place of power, independence, pride and righteousness are the most important things. Could it be that he did not cling to others or seduce the powerful in private, and let Marquis Shangguan know about it...

Or is it that I have been following Marquis Shangguan for a long time, and those rich and powerful people are jealous and constantly looking for excuses to impeach me in Marquis Shangguan?
  The implication of "Ailian's Theory" is too obvious——

The lotus flower is fresh and elegant, a metaphor for a gentleman, who lives in a dirty environment but does not conform to the crowd; he is solemn and simple, does not try to please the public, does not cling to the powerful, does not show off himself, is independent, upright and meticulous, and is open-minded and generous; with good qualifications, this kind of person is The most taboo person in the official circles of wealthy families.

And just now, the Marquis Shanghang had secretly awakened himself and deliberately mentioned his life experience. What did this mean?

Dongfang Shuo didn't care at all about his lineage as the Queen of Tianmen. Even though he was in a powerful position and suffered frequent defeats and setbacks, he didn't feel ashamed at all that he was the Queen of Tianmen.

It is probably because the Dongfang family brothers are half of the Tianmen bloodline, so they have the outstanding martial arts and temperament of the Spirit Clan, as well as the life-threatening unruliness of the Spirit Clan.

The brothers of the Dongfang family are famous for being independent and independent in Tianmen. Dongfang Ying wants to win by his own strength. Naturally, he doesn't want to see those villains clinging to the powerful and flattering them.

Perhaps the two young masters of the Dongfang family are already quite sophisticated and smooth in the eyes of those from a wealthy family, but among the wealthy families, the Dongfang Ying brothers are definitely considered unique. Regardless of whether they have the ability or not, they have such cold faces. His arrogant temperament is really too much for the rich and powerful.

It's not that Dongfang Shuo doesn't know what the reputation of himself and his brother are in the wealthy family——

His strength is extraordinary and his temperament is extraordinary.

And just today, Marquis Shangguan suddenly metaphorized the character of the lotus, which inevitably made people suspicious and seemed to be insinuation.

Knowing this, Dongfang Shuo did not dare to lose his composure, and pretended to be calm and responded: "This article just sounds like the author places his feelings on the lotus, alluding to the darkness of the officialdom. He must maintain his noble character in the officialdom, just like the lotus." It is so difficult to get out of the mire without being stained. This is also the author's experience as an official, because he does not want to join the same trend or cling to the powerful. The so-called washing the lotus without being evil is just a good wish of the author. But everything The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. The way of being an official is that although you have good wishes, you must abide by the rules of the powerful family. I think this lotus stands tall and noble, does not cling to the powerful, is straight in the middle and straight in the outside, and is single-minded to the end. It can be understood that in the officialdom, as long as you stand in your own team, don't sway with the wind. Your position is unclear, people's hearts are unstable, and the so-called loyalty is disgusting. Let's forget about this kind of people..."

Dongfang Shuo can make his position clear, even if it is for the sake of his own future and that of his brother, he is still trying to defend himself.

After hearing this, Marquis Shangguan said nothing and stared at the wine in the wine cup, his eyes like a mirror and his heart like still water.

After a long time, Shangguan Marquis smiled heartily and said in a commanding voice: "Okay, don't be formal. I understand what you are thinking."

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief - there was a breath hanging in his throat just now, and he felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, and he was pulling a string very tightly in his heart. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Shuo relaxed a little, and the next wave of difficulties for Marquis Shangguan followed one after another.

Marquis Shangguan tried another look. Dongfang Shuo stepped forward steadily and raised the pot to hang the wine. The wine slowly fell into the cup. Marquis Shangguan said coldly and quietly——

"It is said that the lotus flower is as noble as a gentleman, but it is not true. I think the mind of this lotus flower is extraordinary. It is not as good as the heart of the lotus. When the lotus flower withers, the lotus pod has many children and many hearts. How can a lotus flower emerge from the mud and remain untainted? Haha , it’s really ridiculous. Did you know that the lotus root is buried several meters deep in the mud and has already taken root? The lotus root is round and delicious. People in the world eat more of it. They are so smart and caring, rooted in the world, and are smooth and sophisticated. , but he has been given the reputation of being high-spirited, upright, and intolerant of the secular world. It’s really ridiculous!”

As soon as he said these words, Dongfang Shuo's eyes trembled, and the hand pouring the wine inadvertently trembled slightly. The arc of the wine falling down, shaking and falling, let people see through his thoughts at a glance.

Marquis Shangguan is good at workers' scheming, so he chose this opportunity to test Dongfang Shuo's thoughts.

Sure enough, Dongfang Shuo's mental strength was still lacking. He was stabbed by Shangguan Marquis' few words and his heart could no longer bear it.

When the time came, Dongfang Shuo couldn't bear it anymore and simply put the wine bottle on the table. He knelt down suddenly and apologized: "Dongfang Shuo doesn't know what he did wrong to provoke the Lord like this." I am concerned, if there is anything Dongfang Shuo did not do well, please express it clearly to me, Dongfang Shuo is stupid and rough-handed, and he will realize it later. If there is any way to offend the Lord, please forgive him."

Seeing this, Marquis Shangguan was as steady as a rock. He didn't take it seriously to Dongfang Shuo, who was in a panic. He continued to drink the wine in his hand slowly, then lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and laughed loudly: "Haha~~ You You kid is too paranoid, I just express my feelings for the mountains and rivers, and have no other intentions~~Look, how nervous I am making you?"

Dongfang Shuo knew the character of Marquis Shangguan too well. He knew that Marquis Shangguan said it lightly and unintentionally, but in fact he had already convicted himself.

Naturally, at this time, I definitely couldn't take the other person's words as a joke.

Dongfang Shuo fell to the ground, not daring to make any mistakes. He could only judge his own movements by listening to what Shangguan Marquis said next.

Seeing that Dongfang Shuo was too frightened to move, Marquis Shangguan knew that the deterrent effect was enough and it was time for him to understand his original intention.

Marquis Shangguan finished drinking the wine in his mouth, slowly put down the wine cup in his hand, and said meaningfully——

"It's true that I love lotus flowers, but I hate the old lotus roots and lotus pods that have lost their flowers. Do you know why?"

Dongfang Shuo said cautiously: "Shangguan doesn't know——"

Shangguan Marquis said: "I have been involved in the officialdom of a powerful family for a long time. No matter how noble the lotus flower is, I know the depth of this mud. It is rooted here and cannot see the water. Its roots are smooth and understand the depth. The lotus root is broken and the threads are connected. It is very tough. And above the head is the Duozi Linglongxin, who is both intelligent and forbearing, and is still safe from a duckweed. Although he drifts with the tide and does not know the depth, he knows how to advance and retreat, and understands the square and the circle, which is very convenient to use..."
