For Zhao Qianer, Gu Yiwu and others, this was an indescribable change, but it did happen.
After someone raised his glass to invite everyone to drink, the atmosphere around seemed to become a little different.
"There are too many dishes. Let's invite more people to come down to eat. Well, I said it's my treat, no one can snatch it from me." Zhao Rong explained seriously.
Gu Yiwu couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table, "Ziyu, of course it's your treat. You're the one who's the center of attention tonight, and you want to get it all for free?"
Gu Yiwu and Zhao Rong had been getting along for quite some time, and he had learned a lot of new terms from him.
Other students from the Hall of Justice also followed suit and joined in the fun.
"Mr. Zhao is too romantic. You agreed not to drink wine, but you ended up drinking the most."
A student joked:
"Okay, Mr. Zhao, Little Fairy Zhao can't control you, but we want to see if you are afraid of Big Fairy Zhao. Today, Fairy Su and Fairy Luo are both very affectionate, and Mr. Zhao has no choice but to accept them. We understand, but when you go back tomorrow, we'll see how you'll report to Big Fairy Zhao. Whether she understands or not is one thing, but a family discipline is probably inevitable."
Zhao Rong glanced at Su Qingdai and Luo Xiu who were sitting in his arms. They were obediently picking up food and pouring wine for him, minding their own business, as if they didn't hear other people's jokes.
Zhao Rong did not explain, but pretended to be stern, waved his sleeves, and snorted: "Brother Wu and the others are worrying too much. At home, I have the final say! Everyone must listen to me. Are these women rebelling?"
“Hahahahahaha…”
Everybody burst into laughter and shouted "no belief, no belief" and said that a classmate had said the same thing last time with a firm belief. But when everybody went to his house, they found him kneeling on the washboard.
A group of students started to make a fuss, saying that they would go and complain to Fairy Zhao to see if Mr. Zhao's iron will was as hard as Fairy Zhao's washboard.
Zhao Qian'er, who was listening in, couldn't help but roll her eyes cutely at the words of a certain "head of the family"...Brother Rong'er, I helped you sleep with the young lady last time, otherwise you wouldn't have a bed to sleep on, not to mention the bed in the young lady's boudoir, where would you lie down on, not to mention that you could bully the young lady and press...press her head at night...If it weren't for Qian'er, the young lady would never let go...The head of the family is like this? Humph.
However, as a sensible wife, she certainly cannot ruin the show when her man brags and jokes in front of his friends. She even has to take the initiative to give him enough face and respond to him. As for what happens after she returns home, that is another story.
Zhao Qian'er smiled secretly in her heart for a while, and her bright eyes glanced at the two fairies who were well-behaved and obedient on Zhao Rong's legs.
Her eyes swept over Luo Xiu normally, but stayed on Su Qingdai for a while, frowning slightly.
The little girl seemed to have a bad impression of this woman who unexpectedly broke into Rong'er's arms when they first met, and no one knew what she was thinking at this moment.
The burly scholar who was very careful did not join in the excitement. He quietly glanced at a place on the third floor and whispered:
"Call more people? Tzuyu, are you saying..."
Zhao Rong smiled and nodded.
"Call them down for dinner. They ordered so many dishes. How can we finish them all? And since we are here, why not meet each other first?"
He sighed and joked, "I've been a riddle teller for so long, and I've been waiting for so long... I mainly wanted to see what these people do before I tell you, but the result..."
Zhao Rong paused and glanced left and right at the two fairies on his legs. Suddenly, he leaned forward slightly, stretched out his two big hands, and embraced their slender waists. This was the first time he took the initiative after Su Qingdai and Luo Xiu sat in Zhao Rong's arms, and it seemed a little rude and overbearing.
"Hmm..." A beautiful woman in a black dress with a cold face cried out.
"Ah..." The stunningly beautiful girl in a white gauze dress, who looked like an immortal, exclaimed subconsciously.
This set of domineering CEO actions is a bit embarrassing. I didn’t feel embarrassed when I saw others doing it before, but now it seems to hurt them when I actually do it. Should I be more gentle... Zhao Rong coughed lightly in his heart.
The two girls couldn't help but widen their beautiful eyes, paused their work, and looked at Zhao Rong's expression cautiously.
No one knew what Zhao Rong was thinking. They only saw him gently embracing the two fairies, his face calm, and he chuckled:
"It took so long, and the gift was so slow to be delivered... Well, it is still quite sincere and significant... We are both particular people, so let's meet in advance."
The conversation between him and Gu Yiwu was incoherent and very strange. The students who only listened to a little bit did not understand what Zhao Rong was talking about specifically.
But some people understood and comprehended it.
For example, Zhao Qianer and Gu Yiwu.
Especially when Zhao Rong complained in a malicious way that "the gifts are quite heavy", the former couldn't help but roll his eyes...Brother Rong, if they are heavy, then why don't you let them sit on your lap? Why do you seem to enjoy it?
At this moment, Zhao Qian'er was slightly dazed and turned to look towards the third floor.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, a thoughtful look appearing on her little face.
So that's how it is. The person Brother Rong'er is waiting for has already arrived. Then, these two fairies who just threw themselves into his arms...
Gu Yiwu nodded silently.
He had some understanding of it. In fact, he had roughly guessed it before. All forces would come to contact them. After all, the Fengshan event had a far-reaching impact on Dali's current situation and future national destiny. They, as students, played a key role.
And these past few days, Zhao Rong asked him to take the students of Justice Hall out to play, especially to the largest Zuixianlou in Xingzi Town, which Gu Yiwu could also think of.
It is to give all parties an opportunity to contact each other and facilitate their actions.
Just like tonight.
However, Gu Yiwu was still a little confused as to why Zi Yu chose to take a detour to Xingzi Town.
Wouldn't it be the same if we went directly to Dali Hanjing and met privately later? Hanjing must have many suitable opportunities for contact, and it would also save time. But now we have stayed here for quite a while, and it is a bit late to go back for Fengshan...
This is a bit of an unnecessary waste of time.
However, Gu Yiwu knew Zhao Rong and believed that he must have his own thoughts and plans.
And I'm about to meet those people, some things will soon come to light, and besides...
The burly scholar turned around and looked meaningfully at the cold and arrogant Su Qingdai and the pure and elegant Luo Xiu... He didn't expect that these two beautiful ladies were gifts to some extent. Well, they were indeed very important, but the gifts were...
Gu Yiwu felt that it was very sophisticated and contained many interesting points that could be discussed.
For example, the forces behind these two fairies Li Nu should correspond to two groups of people. These people are now on the third floor. Haha, they were next to their Xuan box not long ago. It's really dark under the lamp.
For example, why did these forces give gifts to Tzuyu first, and such a generous gift at that? Well, it is not certain whether they will give gifts to others next, but these forces did give gifts to the right person first.
Ziyu is the person in their team who currently presides over the Fengshan ceremony. He is of vital importance to all forces in Dali.
The fact that these people were able to find the right person to give gifts meant that the various forces in Dali were quite aware of their investigation. Did they have someone in Duyou City? And how deep was the investigation?
After thinking this through, Gu Yiwu roughly understood the farce that took place in the lobby on the first floor tonight.
What dream lover, what true love...but there is a difference between them.
For example, the dream lover, the fairy with silk sleeves just said it shyly without any specific explanation.
Thinking about it now, Gu Yiwu felt that it was a bit perfunctory.
The true love that comes later is more interesting.
The reason given by this tall fairy Su, who likes to wear black dresses, makes sense. She herself seems to be taking it very seriously, and her eyes are burning when she looks at Tzuyu.
Gu Yiwu felt that the key to this matter should lie with Chen Er, the master of Ziwei Pavilion. This famous old immortal was probably talking nonsense, or he mixed his own agenda into the divination for Fairy Su.
It was estimated that even the disciples of the Yin-Yang School who were at the seventh level could not figure out the whereabouts of the saint who had quietly appeared in the world. How could a so-called old immortal like him who had not even reached the golden elixir stage do it?
Things like the forbidden techniques of Ziwei Pavilion may just rely on some mysterious words to increase their credibility.
Maybe at that time, the Master of Ziwei Pavilion even said to Fairy Su with a weak face that he had wasted so much of his lifespan to calculate your ideal husband, please cherish him and don’t let his efforts go to waste…
Ahem, so the so-called "saintly aura" is obviously fake.
However, not everyone has the same vision and experience as them. After all, compared with Dali and Duyou City, it is just a small place.
In addition, the Li people are superstitious about ghosts and gods, and the Li women have the tradition of choosing their husbands through spirit writing...
So maybe some people really were fooled, for example... this Fairy Su, looking at her expression, it seems that she believed it.
Gu Yiwu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Uh, could it be that she really believed that Ziyu was her destined lover? In Ziyu's words, my goodness, this Ziwei Pavilion Master was very good at tricking his own disciples, and he even sent out the most favored daughter of Ziwei Pavilion.
The burly scholar couldn't help but glance at the cold and beautiful woman in black dress in Zhao Rong's arms. He sighed slightly and looked at Zhao Rong with some envy, thinking that he had picked up a fairy for free.
And although the so-called saintly demeanor was most likely fake, Zhao Rong stole the show tonight.
The confused men who came to Zuixianlou tonight were all envious and jealous of him, but they didn't dare to hate him. After all, he was a saint, so it made sense for fairies to pay him back. This was probably the sour thought of most of the men on the field.
Having figured all this out, Gu Yiwu would definitely not tell the truth. He glanced at Zhao Rong's calm expression. Zhao Rong was looking towards the stairwell, as if waiting for something.
Gu Yiwu couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with admiration.
Tzuyu should have seen through all this a long time ago, right? She has been watching everything that happened tonight as if she were watching a play...
Just as the burly scholar was sighing, behind Zhao Rong, Zhao Qian'er, who was holding a teapot, turned her bright and lively eyes and looked at Su Qingdai and Luo Xiu.
In the little girl's vision, after Zhao Rong said those strange words, Luo Xiu still lowered her eyebrows and made eyes, picking up the dishes obediently, without any reaction.
However, Su Qingdai, who was wearing a black dress that perfectly set off her fair skin, raised her delicate head slightly, slightly frowned her dark eyebrows, and looked at the true love she was serving, with a hint of doubt and curiosity in her eyes.
Didn't seem to understand what he was saying.
Zhao Qian'er took in the whole scene and tilted her head slightly. She felt that Su Qingdai's expression was very appropriate and did not seem fake.
But...how can we just believe the words and expressions of beautiful women? Well, except Qian'er and Miss...the little girl muttered to herself.
Zhao Rong looked forward, seemingly not paying attention to the different expressions of the two beautiful fairies in his arms, but chuckled:
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and pour me some wine."
"Oh." Su Qingdai quickly lowered her eyes and continued with the work in her hands.
"Learn from the dutiful Fairy Luo. How obedient." Zhao Rong smiled.
"..." Su Qingdai bit her lip, seeming to be a little uncomfortable.
After all, no man dared to order her before. Those men would be happy as fools if they could say a word to her and get a simple reply from Su Qingdai. Moreover, some men did not dare to look her in the eye, not to mention how cautious their tone was. They speculated about her cold expression...
"Did you understand, Fairy Su?" Zhao Rong chuckled.
"I...I understand, sir." Su Qingdai's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she whispered in a mosquito-like voice, lowering her eyes to look at the wine glass.
After she finished speaking, she frowned slightly, as if she was a little worried about her meekness and humility just now, and was a little at a loss about the huge change in her status and stature in front of Zhao Rong, her destined prince.
How should she respond if the love of her life treats her with contempt?
Seeing this scene, Zhao Qianer, who was standing behind, couldn't help but glance at Brother Rong'er.
It was not known whether Brother Rong'er did it intentionally or unintentionally, but it seemed that his words and attitude became more and more overbearing. Gradually, he became less polite and began to call out and order Su Qingdai and Luo Xiu with the oppressive power of a male chauvinist.
However, the two beautiful fairies who used to be aloof and reserved in front of others seemed to fall for it and did not dare to resist Zhao Rong at all. They were like docile cats. They obeyed his orders and did not dare to question his attitude. They read his emotions and attitude.
In other words, Su Qingdai and Luo Xiu are very good at dealing with those men who they dislike but approach them actively.
However, when it comes to the strong men whom they need to approach, please and obey, the two girls seem to have been stripped of their natural advantage. Apart from lowering their posture, they keep lowering their posture, they don't know how to deal with it. It seems that being cold and reserved is useless in front of Brother Rong'er.
And if they meet the latter who sees their true nature, such as Brother Rong'er now, then these two fairies will be even more miserable. Being manipulated and easily despised like now, they don't know what to do. They may even regard being docile, flattering and obedient as a life-saving straw, not knowing that it is drinking poison to quench thirst.
There are even more outrageous things waiting for them later.
The little girl felt that sometimes the changes in status between men and women were very strange.
As long as one party makes a strong advance, the other party, as long as it retreats and submits for the first time, will inevitably retreat step by step, and be suppressed again and again. Then the strong party will become stronger and stronger, and the humble and submissive party will become more and more humble, until they can no longer be humble.
In fact, it is not just the relationship between men and women that applies to this, but also some other relationships.
Both complex and simple.
The complexity lies in the tortuous emotional changes and changes in people's hearts during this state between the two.
The simplicity lies in that, looking at the whole thing, it is nothing more than one side looking down and the other side looking up. The difference in height is irreversible and is becoming more and more obvious.
Obviously, at this time, Brother Rong Er is in a high position and is looked down upon, while Su Qingdai and Luo Xiu, the two fairies who are pursued and admired by other men in the world, are in a low position and look up to Brother Rong Er.
It is estimated that even if he goes a little further at this moment, the two fairies will not dare to resist and will only continue to push their positions lower. The gap is getting bigger and bigger.
In fact, Luo Xiu is better off. At the moment, it seems that she is, after all, a prostitute with no one to rely on. Although she is noble, she is also gentle and goes with the flow of her fate.
Zhao Qian'er felt that the most interesting person was Su Qingdai. She used to be the darling of Ziwei Pavilion and the iceberg beauty of Dali Mountain. She had a lot of admirers, including other geniuses in Dali Mountain, but Su Qingdai looked down on them all and was arrogant and cold.
Somewhat similar to my own daughter, but certainly not as good as her.
However, she is not as good as the best, but better than the worst. In Dali, she is a real cloud fairy and a cold and proud genius.
At the moment, Su Qingdai sat obediently on Brother Rong'er's lap, observing his words and expressions carefully.
This gap in status is huge and the most interesting.
What is her current status?
Zhao Qian'er looked ahead. Su Qingdai was straightening her slender waist, her eyes slightly turned up, looking straight up at Zhao Rong from the bottom up. Her frosty white hands were holding the wine glass, carefully feeding him wine...
This scene did not make Zhao Qian'er feel uncomfortable. Brother Rong'er was "doing something", so how could she disturb him? It would be more appropriate for her to help.
And at the moment, what he did made Zhao Qianer couldn't help but look sideways.
Because, it was obviously the dominant brother Rong Er who quickly created this situation.
He seemed to have done it deliberately from the beginning to suppress the two fairy beauties who came close to him, although Zhao Qian'er didn't know why.
She looked down at the wine jug in her hand and smiled faintly.
The little girl had curved peach blossom eyes and thought it was interesting.
Brother Rong'er is no longer a nerd, he is clearly a man who knows how to have fun... she thought happily.
As long as you are not a nerd, what's the big deal about being a little playful? If a man doesn't have some twists and turns in this matter and doesn't have his own methods, then it's boring. If he doesn't have as many thoughts as women, how can he control the relationship between men and women?
Whether it is being a servile bootlicker or being misogynistic and cold, it is just going from one extreme to another. It is unacceptable.
Zhao Qianer raised her eyes slightly.
The two beautiful fairies in front of her who were used to being high-profile but had their identities reversed, the way they poured wine and picked up food was completely different from her.
Zhao Qian'er has an oddly keen observation of the things around her, and even more so of people's hearts. This is the result of the miserable environment she has lived in since she can remember, and she has been passively and silently honing this talent.
If she didn't have this kind of sharpness, how could little Qian'er have lived to meet Brother Rong'er and Miss Rong'er in the firewood room.
The little girl smiled.
The simplest way to describe this kind of sensitivity is to know who is good to her and who is bad to her.
Know who the most important people are in her world, and who are just passing passers-by who are not worth wasting any emotion on.
Zhao Qian'er tilted her head slightly, and couldn't help but reach out to touch the back of Zhao Rong's head:
Well, it's okay if you can play and like to play. Even Qian'er can help you. I believe the young lady won't say anything. However, Brother Rong'er, you also have to know who are the people who are truly good to you, who are the truly important people, and who are the people who can truly accompany you to spend the rest of your life. You can't be too playful.
The most important thing is... you must not play with Qian'er and Miss, but play with the two childhood sweethearts who regard you as the most important person like the sun.
Besides that, bullying... well, it's okay. After all, I've been bullied by you, my childhood sweetheart, since I was little. Just treat it as an enemy from the previous life. All the tears, pain, sadness and worries in this life are my debt to you...
The little girl stared at Brother Rong'er. She understood that if one was to talk about who was the most proactive and the most devoted to Brother Rong'er, it would definitely be her and the young lady, and it had been like this since they were young.
The other women almost all approached with a purpose, but what about Qian'er and Miss? They were not thinking about anything of Brother Rong'er, except his heart. They wanted to put all the good things such as cultivation and flying swords on Brother Rong'er.
One of the young lady's first-class swords was broken.
Therefore, the previous principles also apply to her and the young lady, and they can even be applied unscrupulously - Brother Rong'er can easily subdue them, easily increase the difference in the emotional status between the two parties to a huge extent, and occupy the most dominant position in the relationship.
He had to proceed step by step with Su Qingdai and Luo Xiu, the strangers who came to him with a purpose. However, as for Qian'er and the young lady, there was no need to be so troublesome. Once would be enough.
Just like the last time they stayed at Qinglian Residence, Rong Erge, who was so shameless that they despised him, had suddenly turned sullen and angry and turned to leave, how could she and the young lady dare to disobey him? Wouldn't they immediately become obedient and accommodate Rong Erge in every way, fearing that the person they liked would be unhappy. And then, whether it was which bed to sleep in, how many pairs of shoes to wear, and how many heads to massage at night, wasn't it all up to him?
If Rong Erge continues to do this, they will be suppressed and will do whatever he wants. He will easily occupy the most dominant position in their relationship. If Rong Erge is even more cruel, he will play with his childhood sweethearts who are devoted to him, for example, he will treat them well at one moment and badly at another, making her and the young lady worry about gains and losses, drinking poison to quench thirst...
Zhao Qian'er was daydreaming and bit her pink lips harder with her pearly teeth.
If this is the case, she and the young lady will be very disappointed and sad in their hearts, and will blame themselves.
Because this is not a normal relationship between three people who want to spend the rest of their lives together and live a good life. This is a pathological relationship, which is based on constantly exploiting the weak.
Zhao Qianer thinks that the healthiest way for the relationship between the three of them to get along should be:
They gave Rong'er a candy with great expectation, and after he tasted it, he also gave them a candy with a bright smile, making their mouths and hearts sweet. They give to each other, and every sincerity given to each other can be rewarded in a serious way.
Instead of just greedily eating the candy they contributed and not giving them candy.
Fortunately, she and the young lady met their true love.
Right now, Brother Ronger cherishes them, and he cares for and respects those who are truly important to him.
Even Xiao Qian'er was a little distressed by his previous respect. He had been avoiding the issue of her being the "second wife" and told the young lady to make her own decision and not to be bound by the identity of a dowry maid.
At that time, she just thought that Rong'er was a nerd. Couldn't he be a little bit more bad and lustful? He just took the maidservant that came with the wife's dowry for himself... Where could Qian'er leave? She would pester you and bother you for the rest of your life. You couldn't let the bullying you suffered in your childhood go to waste, especially the matter of counting stars to become the second wife. You were not allowed to run away until you finished counting...
So, although Xiao Qian'er calls Brother Rong'er a stinky pig's trotter, her heart is as sweet as honey. Just watching him taking a nap and being in a daze can make her happy for the whole afternoon.
In fact, if Brother Rong'er was not such a Brother Rong'er, how could she and the young lady be devoted to him forever?
Even if they become Confucian wives, they are subject to many restrictions of etiquette, but they are willing to do their hair and makeup for him, observe the rules of being a wife, serve him, humble themselves, and respect him.
Even for sword cultivators, the sword heart should be as pure as glass, and the great way should be free and unrestrained, but they are willing to carve his name on the glass sword heart and let his shadow reflect the entire lake of the heart.
Because he is Brother Rong'er.
Zhao Qianer lowered her head with a smile on her lips.
…
