Zhao Zhixu's face turned slightly red, but the night concealed her expression well. She thought about it and it seemed to be true.
If Qin Yi only acted as her dance partner and couldn't even hold hands with her, then those gentlemen would think that she had a good impression of Qin Yi, but it was far from to such an extent that they would not be afraid of the Zhao family.
But if she held hands with Qin Yi or even kissed him, those wealthy young men would be able to see her attitude clearly.
If they want to touch Qin Yi, they will definitely take her into consideration!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhixu nodded and said softly, "Okay, then we'll go in hand in hand. I just wonder if your fiancée will have other ideas."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Zhixu took the initiative to pull Qin Yi's hand. Her face turned even redder and her heart beat even faster.
She thought to herself: Zhao Zhixu, Zhao Zhixu! How could you be so shameless as to take a man's hand? Where have all the etiquette I learned since childhood gone?
And what kind of perverse ideas did you just think of?
Qin Yi's medical skills are enough to make many wealthy families in Linhai treat him as a guest of honor. Why do you need to protect him with your reputation?
"It's okay to have ideas. A good man should be broad-minded, so men are philanthropic. This is human nature." Qin Yi said slowly, then took Zhao Zhixu's hand and walked inside.
"A good man should be broad-minded. It seems Bai Qiong won't mind."
Zhao Zhixu was pulled by Qin Yi and followed him in big strides. She didn't react for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she said doubtfully:
"That's not right. Aren't relationships supposed to be selfish and exclusive? Even if a man needs to be broad-minded, he should be single-minded when it comes to relationships."
After saying that, Zhao Zhixu subconsciously glanced at Qin Yi and continued in a low voice: "If you were my fiancé, at least I would not allow you to have a woman other than me."
Qin Yi said solemnly, "Throughout history, whether it's scholars or emperors and generals, good men have always had great love in their hearts, not single-minded devotion. I'm following the example of the ancient sages. On the contrary, women should be loyal to one person. You are well-read, so you should have a certain understanding of this."
Zhao Zhixu raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Qin Yi's words about emulating the sages immediately piqued her interest. She was indeed well-read.
"I was born in modern times, but I have great respect for the ancient sages. I also know love stories such as Liang Zhu, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and Xu Xian and the White Snake. This is how it should be from ancient times to the present."
"Since you mentioned the ancient sages, if you can win the argument with me, perhaps you can change my opinion."
Qin Yi's eyes lit up. He never expected that Zhao Zhixu would be so open-minded about such things! Zhao Zhixu had been reading since childhood and was influenced by books. Using allusions to prove her point was his first choice.
Han Ningguang, a police officer with a strong personality and extremely confident in her own perceptions, believed Bai Qiong would definitely not agree to polygamy, which is why she made the bet.
It seems that the key is to prescribe the right medicine for each woman.
"What? You're speechless, right? A man's broad-mindedness refers to his generosity, not his emotional magnanimity. So if a woman is in love with you and you have feelings for her, you must not let her down!"
Zhao Zhixu's eyes moved slightly, his face became redder and redder, and his ears became hot, as if he was talking about himself.
"What you're talking about are all legends, not historical records. Are these the only Four Books and Five Classics you've studied?"
Qin Yi smiled slightly. Fortunately, while practicing martial arts, he also did not fall behind in cultural aspects. He continued:
"Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, was deeply in love with Yang Yuhuan. He still had three thousand beauties in his harem, but it's not clear that he dismissed all the concubines for her, and he even personally ordered her execution."
"The story of Farewell My Concubine, the King of Western Chu and Yu Ji in history is truly moving and moving. However, Yu Ji was only a 'Ji', not even a legal wife."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Zhixu's face changed, as if it was true, but she quickly reacted and said:
"Since ancient times, kings should have harems of beautiful women. If they didn't, it would have violated ancestral rules. Why don't you talk about the literati? Since you're talking about history, then Sima Xiangru only had Zhuo Wenjun in his life. Phoenix, Phoenix, return to your hometown, and travel the world to seek your mate. What a deep love between the two."
Although the two were arguing, Zhao Zhixu was pleasantly surprised. Qin Yi was becoming more and more like the ideal partner for her.
She had been adept at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since childhood, and was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, having put a lot of effort into these pursuits, primarily out of interest. Therefore, she hoped her future husband would share her interests and, ideally, surpass her in all aspects, giving her something to pursue. The nameless master was a good candidate, but she had only heard of him, not met him in person. Otherwise, a slightly older man was not out of the question.
Zhao Zhixu's criteria for choosing a partner are more about finding a confidant, a spiritual support, and someone who can complement each other in knowledge.
Even at this moment, Zhao Zhixu had no intention of persuading Qin Yi. She just wanted to argue with Qin Yi and test Qin Yi's academic background.
For her, she only needs to know that the other person has her in his heart and she has the other person in her heart. As for being devoted to the other person, it would be the best if he can do so, but if he cannot do so, she cannot force it.
Born into a wealthy family, she knew better than anyone that the more capable a man is, the more women will be around him. Her father, Zhao Tiannan, is one of them.
"You're talking about writers, what about Nalan Xingde? Standing in the Xie family courtyard late in the evening... The rain has stopped, and the air is a bit cool. Eleven years ago, it was all just a dream. After Lu's death, didn't he still have several concubines?"
"After Zhao Mingcheng married Li Qingzhao, he took in several concubines and indulged in revelry every night. There are countless such examples, so I won't list them all."
Qin Yi chuckled, "You little brat! He's had a photographic memory since he was young. As long as he wants to give examples, he can list a bunch of them. There's no way Zhao Zhixu can compare to him."
"Stop for now. I'm here to attend the dance today. I'll have a good debate with you over the next few days. If you win, maybe my opinion will change. After all, two people who love each other just need to have each other in their hearts."
Zhao Zhixu became more and more satisfied with Qin Yi, because everything about Qin Yi met her requirements, but the topic of conversation made her feel a little sour.
Through the conversation, she also learned that if she chose Qin Yi, she would have to be prepared to accept other sisters in the future.
So she needs to think about this matter carefully. It depends on how talented Qin Yi is to make her, Zhao Zhixu, tolerate Qin Yi's infidelity!
An equally outstanding man will choose outstanding women as his partners, just like his fiancée Bai Qiong, who is equally arrogant.
While Zhao Zhixu felt a pang in his heart, he couldn't help but look forward to it. What means would Qin Yi use to subdue the two beauties of Linhai?
