Get on the wrong sedan chair and marry the right wolf

As soon as the old man heard this, his complexion turned pale, his white beard trembled, and finally tremblingly withdrew two words, "Absurd! Absurd!"

The crowd watching the excitement was also noisy.

Ling Xueji was surprised at what Qu Quan said just now, but it was rare that she didn't open her mouth to question. She had no confidence in herself or she had quietly transferred all her confidence to Qu Quan.Under the dizzying sun in Jinling City, Ling Xueji suddenly had a feeling. She raised her head and looked at the woman standing beside her, holding her hand tightly. , Maybe someone who can rely on his body and mind.

"Absurd? Do you also think this is unreasonable?" Qu Quan was not afraid of everyone's doubts. She was different from Ling Xueji.Once upon a time, she also had the same daze and hesitation as this girl at this time, but that has passed away like a river, and it will never exist again.

"Isn't it unreasonable to compare humans with birds/beasts?" The old man was already sullen.

"Haha." Qu Quan said with a clear smile, "It's not unreasonable for you to compare the rare birds caught in danger with the livestock raised by the farm?"

"You..." The old man covered his chest and gasped for breath, Qu Quan quickly widened his eyes and exclaimed——

"Don't be angry, old man. My money is going to buy birds for my wife, but I don't have any money left for you to buy medicine."

The surrounding crowd exploded again, this time they were happy.

Qu Quanfang can be regarded as an innocuous joke, this is a neighborhood in the market, such a joke will not make fun of the Fang family.It was a big blow to the old man. He drilled the hole and thought that no one would notice. He wanted to slowly lead the other party into a trap. But the other party did fall into it, but it was not the person who fell in, but the ammunition, and his house was blown up in one fell swoop. Old Gao.

"Miss is eloquent and eloquent, I am not the girl's opponent." The old man stroked his old cheeks on his chest and drooped, "Miss told me well, but I don't know if she can convince those princes and nobles?"

Qu Quan didn't answer, and let him be a demon.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the old man sneered, "If nobles like you didn't like it, we wouldn't be able to sell it. Isn't the source still here? If you want to talk, girl, go and talk to those nobles."

Qu Quan watched the old man's breathing gradually flattened, and snorted contemptuously, "If you hadn't sold them, who would know that there are such rare creatures in the world? You brought them from the dense forests and waters in your hometown. Selling in this place where people are slaughtered, weighed and measured, and in turn blame the people who bought it?"

This time, before the old man could speak, a young guy behind him who also looked like a bird dealer couldn't help but rushed out and pointed at Qu Quan and shouted: "There is no express law that stipulates that we cannot catch these beautiful birds! Why are we not allowed?" Grasp!"

Qu Quan was silent, and the onlookers all fell silent, waiting to see how Qu Quan would answer.Ling Xueji was waiting for Qu Quan's counterattack with her face upturned. After all, she believed that there was no one in Jinling City who was more familiar with things like the Great Xia Law than Qu Quan.But she didn't know that when she was immersed in her own sadness, someone had already raised this question.

She waited for a long time, but finally waited for Qu Quan's approval.

"You are right, there is no express law, and there is no right to prevent you from being arrested."

"Qu..." Ling Xueji widened her almond eyes in astonishment, and looked at Qu Quan in amazement, why, how could it be like this...to admit defeat? ?A pair of eyes searched anxiously on Qu Quan's worried face, and finally found a bright color hidden in her eyes.

"However, if life and the world can only be restrained by laws and regulations, it would be too sad." Qu Quan slowly raised his head in the voice, the smile on his face was still light and shallow, but his eyes were determined to be compelling, "Lings and laws It is a visible scale, and the invisible scale is all in the heart."

"Rare birds are very different from ordinary birds that are bred at home. Ordinary birds have strong reproductive ability and can reproduce in the land of Daxia. Rare birds are hard to find, and they are even rarer after being caught wantonly. The vitality is extremely fragile, and I am afraid that it will disappear from the world in a few decades."

"Perhaps the disappearance of a single species of bird will not cause any uproar, but don't forget that all things are born of the Tao, and all living beings are one of the ways of heaven. If there is a missing link, the balance will be destroyed. Let me give a simple example: wolves eat White rabbits, rabbits eat green grass. If people wantonly catch wolf meat because of their greed, the rabbits will multiply without natural enemies. The original sufficient amount of green grass will be eaten up by the increasing number of rabbits. The land will become barren and dry day by day without the grass cover. The wasteland can no longer grow crops. By then, it will be the people of Li who will be affected.”

"All things are the same, birds/beasts are the same, trees and flowers are also the same. "Han Feizi Nei Chu Shuo [-]" said: "The state of Qi is fond of burials, and the cloth and silk are all in the clothes, and the wood is all in the coffin. Duke Huan is worried about it. So Guan Zhong said: "When the cloth and silk are exhausted, there is nothing to conceal, and when the timber is exhausted, there is nothing to defend. But people are buried endlessly, so what can we do?" ’ So he ordered: ‘If the coffin is too large, kill the corpse, and the guilty husband will be mourned.’ If the husband kills the corpse, there will be no name;

"In ancient times, there was also the rule that 'in summer and March, the rivers and lakes do not enter the net, and they have become the length of fish and turtles'. There is also a rule in "Yi Zhou Shu Wen Zhuan Jie" that 'the mountains and forests are not in season, and the ax is not raised to become the length of vegetation. "Chuan Ze is not the right time, if you don't enter the net, you can grow the length of fish and turtles; if you don't kill deer and kill eggs, you can grow the length of birds and beasts. Fishing at the right time, children will not conceive, and horses will not gallop."

Ling Xueji and the audience were already dizzy from what Qu Quan said. In the end, Qu Quan raised his head and raised his eyebrows, with deep and shallow purple fluttering in the wind, with one hand behind his back, and the smile on his lips was still the same as before. At that time, there was only a little more literati's arrogance and Lingyun spirit.

"What I said today, although there is no clear law, the reasoning is the same."

Who said that scholars are useless?They may not be as heroic as the blood-bathed soldiers at the border, nor do they have the pride of pipa urging their horses to burn eight hundred miles.But thousands of years ago, the person who was worried about the people's livelihood and the rise and fall of all things, and proposed these long-term plans, was the most literati and scholar who was dubbed the most acidic scholar.

Among the names inscribed in the history of the previous dynasty like a blade, there are iron-blooded generals who drank blood and killed the enemy Kou Yinghao for thousands of years, and there are also many loyal literati who are willing to serve their homeland with green blood.They once had a hundred schools of thought contending, they had read about the rise and fall of a hundred generations, and they had written about a hundred years of glory.Hearing about Dao in the morning and dying in the evening, he studied hard for ten years and developed a thousand kinds of morals in his belly, so that he can make the people of the world.

A clear bird song seemed to sense the dawn of freedom. It sang and flapped its wings against the golden sun shining down on Jinling City, and swayed above the wind in late spring.More bird songs echoed the first bird song, either clear or long or crisp or sweet, they broke free from their cages and stretched out their rusty and numb wings to soar for nine days again. Tens of thousands of golden swords piercing through the clouds are like phoenixes wagging their tails, and hundreds of birds are dancing and flying against the golden light. The people in Jinling City at this moment are all thinking of four imaginary but real words in their hearts.

Birds face the phoenix.

With a sweet smile on her face, Ling Xueji carefully took out the Ice Sparrow from the cage in Qu Quan's hand, and threw it into the sky like releasing her own hydrangea bird countless times. way. Seeing the ice sparrow spreading its blue and purple wings, it fluttered happily over Jinling City for a while, then flew in front of Ling Xueji, and flew around her head twice. distance.

"This bird is really intelligent." Qu Quan said with a smile, then heard Ling Xueji excitedly calling her name, turned her face away with a smile, and was caught off guard by a soft thing on her face, and her smile turned into surprise.

"Xue Ji...?"

Ling Xueji, who was so excited, put his arms around Qu Quan's neck and kissed her on the face. Only then did he realize what he had done just now, and his little face, which was already flushed with excitement, turned even redder. Spread to the corners of the eyes and ears.She said softly "Yah", she put her hand on her lips, feeling ashamed and annoyed, and there was still a hint of sweetness like candy.

"you……"

"I I I..."

Most of the onlookers dispersed when they saw it, leaving only a few young and strong men who were familiar with the world, joking aside, "The two girls are very close."

It is rare to see such a good wife and wife in Jinling City.

Both Qu Quan and Ling Xueji were a little embarrassed, Qu Quan felt that he was nothing, since he was married to Ming Mei, so it was normal for him to kiss her on the cheek.It was the abrupt Xueji on the street.Xueji was the one who took the initiative just now, so he naturally felt that Qu Quan was being made fun of in the street because of him.The two people's minds changed very quickly and they were tense. Naturally, they didn't consider whether the other party's thoughts were consistent with their own, and they didn't see the same guilt on the other party's face as their own.

Most of the bird sellers have already released all the rare birds they caught, leaving a few ordinary birds that they raised to continue selling.And the last few bird vendors who were unwilling to release the rare birds killed Qu Quan severely, which allowed Qu Quan and Ling Xueji to take the birds and release them.

After taking the cloud card and entering another workshop, Ling Xueji was still enthusiastically praising Qu Quan for his strength, and he made sense of those bird sellers in a few words.

Qu Quan was not very happy, he just shook his head and said to Ling Xueji: "If you didn't bring this up today, I wouldn't bother with it."

"Ah? Why?" Ling Xueji raised her head to look at her suspiciously, but she couldn't find any expression on Qu Quan's face other than indifference.
