Nearly a thousand scholars gathered in the shabby house, feeling extremely satisfied with everything here.
Scholars were almost like this. They were well-read and full of knowledge. They hated corruption and liked such simple things.
Because, in the eyes of scholars, the simpler it was, the more it highlighted their own nobility.
To a scholar, being aloof was more important than their own life.
A scholar could be killed but not humiliated. This sentence was enough to explain the status of aloofness in the hearts of scholars.
All the scholars visited the shabby house over and over again. The more they looked, the happier they were. The three words 'shabby house' were especially considered the finishing touch.
"Everyone, are you satisfied with this?"
Lord Chen already had an answer in his heart, but he still had a worried expression on his face.
All the scholars cupped their hands in respect to Lord Chen and said,""I'm even satisfied, very satisfied. Young Master Feng is very thoughtful.”
"However, Lord Chen, what is covered by the red cloth?”
"That's right, that's right, Lord Chen. What exactly is this red thing hiding? It really makes us curious.”
"I wonder if Lord Chen can remove the red cloth and let us investigate?”
"Also, when will Young Master Feng come?”
"Right, right, right. When can Young Master Feng come?”
.....
As soon as he said this, the scholars who were originally curious about what was under the red cloth began to care more about what Qin Feng could deny.
After all, the reason they traveled thousands of miles was to see Qin Feng. At this moment, they had already spent half a month in the State of Qin, yet they had yet to see him. This caused many people to lose their patience.
In fact, many people even began to doubt whether Qin Feng had real talent.
But even if they were suspicious, they refused to leave, as if they were afraid of missing something.
"Everyone... Everyone... Listen to me…"
Lord Chen saw that the situation was about to get out of control and shouted again.
Lord Chen had completely lost his temper towards scholars. His persistence was simply different from ordinary people. These days, Lord Chen's brain hurt when he interacted with these scholars. He often couldn't sleep at night. Sometimes, he even dreamed of scholars chattering nonstop.
The scholar gradually calmed down and waited for Lord Chen's answer.
"How can I control Young Master Feng? " As for when Young Master Feng will come, I really can't be sure. But I believe that as long as Young Master Feng has time, he will definitely come back. Otherwise, Young Master Feng wouldn't have specially instructed me to build a shabby room for you. As for what's under the red cloth, I don't know either. It was arranged by the King of Qin. He said that he would wait for Young Master Feng to personally open it.”
Lord Chen finished speaking in one breath without any pause, as if he was afraid that if he paused, the scholars would start to express their opinions again.
In fact, Lord Chen admired these scholars. Although he had only spent a few days with them, he felt that their analysis of the various countries and their opinions on how to govern the country were very reasonable.
It could be said that there was no lack of talented people among these scholars. Now that Great Qin was in a state of prosperity, if they could join Great Qin, Great Qin would be able to recover as quickly as possible and become even more powerful than it had been under Lu Buwei.
It was only at that time that Lord Chen understood why Qin Feng would treat these scholars, who looked weak to ordinary people, like this.
Hearing Lord Chen's words, the nearly one thousand scholars fell silent. Then, they looked at the shabby house behind them and thought for a moment. They felt that Lord Chen's words made some sense, so they waited with this thought in mind.
This was because it was impossible to build a shabby house in the palace. Moreover, so many scholars had suddenly gathered here, which would definitely attract many people from Xianyang City.
Joining in the fun was something that happened no matter when, where, or which dynasty it was. It was difficult to suppress one's curiosity.
Just as the scholars were about to enter the shabby house again with proud expressions, a voice suddenly sounded out.
"How can such a simple and crude place be inhabited by humans? To think that you scholars still treat it as a treasure. It's really ridiculous.”
As soon as he said this, there was a sudden silence. Everyone looked at the source of the voice.
The person who said this seemed to be in his thirties. His clothes were extremely luxurious, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
"Isn't this Old Chu?"
"That's true. As a merchant from the Chu Country, it's normal for Old Chu to look down on such a place.”
"That's true. This place is really too.。。It was too simple and crude. It really matched the plaque of the shabby house.。。”
Many people in the surrounding crowd recognized the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier.
At this time, the seven kingdoms had yet to launch a large-scale war and were still in a peaceful period. Therefore, merchants from all countries often traveled to other countries to purchase goods and do business.
Old Chu was a person who had a relatively large business in the Chu Country. He was knowledgeable and had been influenced by the Chu Country to advocate martial arts. Therefore, he had always had a bad impression of scholars. He even felt that they were useless people.
"You... You're not a good person. What do you know…"
"Foolish…How foolish…This was called elegance. If you didn't understand, then don't spout nonsense here.”
"That's right. Vulgar, vulgar, unbearably vulgar.”
......
When they heard that someone was mocking the place that they regarded as a treasure, nearly a thousand scholars were instantly furious. All of them blushed and refuted.
"What a joke. It's simple and crude. Look at this so-called shabby house. You can have anything you want. Aren't you all just proud of yourselves? Scholars are indeed useless, unlike my Chu Country, which advocates martial arts and has a strong national strength. Only with powerful martial arts can we truly have peace. You scholars only know how to talk about words and words all day long. You are really useless scholars.”
The merchant called Old Chu didn't dare to be disappointed. He said sharply and then laughed mockingly.
When the surrounding commoners heard Old Chu's words, they immediately burst into laughter.
"You…"
"You…"
The laughter around them made the scholars in the shabby house feel very embarrassed, but Old Chu's words made them speechless. Their faces were red, but they could not say a word for a long time.
He couldn't say that he really treated the shabby house as a treasure for the sake of being noble, right?
Saying such words would only attract more ridicule.
At this moment, Lord Chen suddenly shouted,"" Young Master Feng is here!!"
Immediately, everyone looked in the direction Lord Chen was looking at.
Qin Feng, dressed in white, slowly walked over, accompanied by the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng.
