Wei Deli picked up a chicken paw, looked at it, put it back on the plate, and said, "I thought homosexuality was a taboo for you, so it turned out to be outdated again."

Although Fang Sishen is not picky eaters, he is not used to things like bullfrogs and chicken feet, so he picked up a chopstick and put shredded eel in the bowl: "In the history of Xia Kingdom, same-sex love has never been regarded as a taboo like in the Moslem society. Of course, It has never been given an aboveboard status. Or it can be called, um, a fringe phenomenon.” After pondering for a moment, he added, “In certain special periods, homosexuality was severely suppressed, but heterosexuality was also suppressed and suppressed at the same time. Therefore, I personally feel that this kind of repression is not directly related to sexual orientation itself, but an inevitable phenomenon in the era of imprisoning humanity.”

"I see." Wei Deli nodded.After pondering for a while, he suddenly said to Hong Xinyao solemnly: "Hong, I'm very interested in your point of view, would you like to cooperate with me?"

"Cooperation? What cooperation?"

"According to your main point of view and assumptions, we cooperate to supplement the evidence, improve the argument, and make it a qualified paper-considering your actual situation, I can undertake most of this process. You are welcome to participate and make More contributions. By the way, I forgot to introduce to you. I am now a lecturer at the Xia Culture Institute of the Oriental Research Institute of Price University. If the paper can be published in the future, I will indicate your contribution and pay you the manuscript fee proportionally. .what do you think?"

With that said, Wei Deli stood up and extended his right hand politely.

Hong Xinyao stared wide-eyed: "You mean... you write for me, and you can still publish it, so you get paid for it?"

"I didn't write it for you, I borrowed your point of view and then improved it. If it is published, it will be regarded as the result of our cooperation, okay?"

"Okay! Why is it bad?" Hong Xinyao also stood up, his size was comparable to that of foreign devils, he grabbed it with his right hand, and wiped Wei Deli's slap on chicken feet oil: "Deal!" He glanced provocatively at Fang Sishen, " Dude, you still know the goods, haha..."

Fang Sishen propped his chin, raised his head and said helplessly, "Daniel, don't you think such a decision is too hasty?" He knew that Westerners always like to hunt for novelties, but Wade Li's move was too outrageous.

Weldley sat down, pulled a tissue to wipe his hands, and replied by reciting a famous quote in his native language: "Enthusiasm and inspiration are not controlled by will-you should know how valuable a novel and unique point of view is."

Fang Sishen didn't want to hit him at first, but seeing the two people's complacency, he could only tell the truth: "Let's not talk about the proof, just the point of view itself, it's not really new, it's just going to an extreme, and it's a bit shocking. In recent years, someone has written an article analyzing the relationship between Emperor Xiaowu and Sima Zizhang from the perspective of modern psychology, arguing that the humiliation of imperial punishment came from one man's jealousy of another man, and some people said that the underlying cause of the conflict between the two parties was personality incompatibility. As for the ambiguity between the monarch and his subjects , The history of modern barnyard officials and unofficials also hints at something, and it is not unconventional."

After all, Wei Deli came from a foreign country. Hearing these contents for the first time, he clapped his hands and said, "It's so valuable! I want to introduce your new progress in this area to my colleagues."

Fang Sishen tried his best to reverse his stray thoughts: "You should understand the tradition of 'Beauty Vanilla'. In the field of Xia literature, it has always been customary to use a husband and wife to describe the monarch and ministers. No matter how ambiguous the writing is, it is mostly just to express loyalty to the emperor. , it can’t be true. Xia cultural traditions are not very taboo about male sex and male favors. If you really want it, just say it. What’s more,” sitting up straight, “I personally object to such speculation about Tai Shigong, except that it contradicts historical facts. It does not conform to the personality of the character."

Looking sideways at Hong Xinyao: "Where did you copy it from hearsay, and it's so good. Writing a thesis is not writing a novel script, so you can't take it for granted."

First Young Master Hong spent the time carefully reading several vernacular biographies in order to make sense of the fallacy. Hearing this, he was very unconvinced: "Take it for granted? Young Master, I take it for granted? If you really take it for granted, it must be that Sima hooked up with the emperor's wife! Otherwise, he has been wandering around the emperor for so many years, and the palace would have been palace long ago, why wait until he is almost fifty and the youngest will be the palace?"

Wei Deli interjected enthusiastically: "Maybe it's a male wife."

Someone chimed in, and Hong Xinyao became even more enthusiastic: "That's right! I'm telling you, young master, I was, um, in the spirit of seeking truth from facts, and carefully studied the cause and effect and their relationship before denying this hypothesis!"

Wei Deli accompanied him and said, "The speculation that the monarch and his ministers are in love can explain many doubts, at least it provides a new dimension for future research. Fang, I know that evidence is very important, but new conjectures are equally important. Evidence can continue. Look for it, maybe one day you can prove the conjecture."

Talking to this point has already involved the methods and beliefs of each person in learning. It is difficult to convince each other whether to review the past to learn the new, or to innovate to change the past.

Fang Sishen no longer insists on opposing, but still has some reservations: "I am more conservative."

Wei Deli smiled: "You are a school of textual research."

Hong Xinyao asked: "Then what about us? What school are we?" For the sake of future, he had to tie this foreign devil lecturer firmly with himself.

Fang Sishen said in his heart: You are the nonsense faction.Seeing that Wei Deli thought seriously for a moment, he clapped his hands: "Spiritual School! We are Spiritual School!"

Chattering happily: "Fang, after listening to your introduction and Hong's point of view, I think we can start with Tai Shigong and do a series of researches on the relationship between ancient monarchs and ministers. This is a project to fill the gap in overseas Xia studies. The research institute is applying for a special fund! Do you have any suggestions?"

Fang Sishen was a bit overwhelmed by the research enthusiasm of foreigners who listened to the wind and rain, and he really didn't want to get involved. He just said: ""Tai Shi Gong Shu" is not my specialty, and homosexuality is not a professional field. I am also very unfamiliar with overseas Xia studies. Feel sorry."

Hong Xinyao pretended to be on the side, and nodded his head: "I think it is very valuable, quite valuable!"

Wei Deli only asked for applause, but forgot the nature of this young master, and said solemnly: "From the perspective of anthropology, this research also has very unique significance."

Young Master Hong knew mathematics, literature and science, but had never heard of anthropology, so he asked a question casually.

Wei Deli was even more excited, Xia Yu scrambled out the Western words: "In a sense, anthropology is a reverse balance of infinite refinement and specialization of subject research, re-examining the overall facts of human society that have been separated and Rich and diverse cultural life. In fact, my early major was physical anthropology, and later I specialized in Eastern culture from the perspective of anthropology, which belongs to the branch of cultural anthropology..."

Fang Sishen listened hard.Hong Xinyao looked blank.

The three of them came late, well past the hotel's closing time in the afternoon. "Xingzuixuan" specializes in student business, so I am embarrassed to drive people away.The little girl on duty waited at the table for an unknown amount of time. At first, she enjoyed listening to this strange trio's high-spirited talk, but now she started knocking her heels on the floor impatiently.Fang Sishen reckoned that he still had enough money, and said while digging out, "Please pay the bill."

Wei Deli frantically looking for his wallet: "I treat you! I treat you!"

Hong Xinyao directly dragged Fang Sishen out of the shop: "Why are you being taken advantage of, the foreign devils are guaranteed to be richer than you."

The three of them walked to the campus side by side. Wei Deli sold anthropology for a long time, and finally noticed Hong Xinyao's confused expression, blinked his eyes, and said: "I can guess your ethnic origin from your appearance, believe it or not ?”

Young Master Hong likes to ignore it: "What is there to guess? I am a purebred Xia."

Wei Deli pretended to be mysterious: "That's not necessarily the case." He looked him over, "You are from the north, um, you should be from the north-central region."

Fang Sishen said: "That doesn't count. The regional differences in appearance are obvious at a glance, and the accent is also an obvious sign."

Wei Deli quickly proved his professional level: "Look at his skin and hair, the color is darker, the proportion of melanin is higher, and the bones are thick. These are the characteristics of the northern ancient Xia people. According to DNA analysis, the characteristics of the northern ancient Xia people are retained. Apart from the North Central Plains, the most frequent ones are in the Qin and Jin areas. Also," pointing to Hong Xinyao's short hair standing on top of his head, "when you look at the sun, does it look a little brownish red? And the face is square and big, the bridge of the nose and the cheekbones are relatively large. High, which means that there may be a small amount of brown people, or Altaic people. The Qin and Jin areas have been mixed with various ethnic groups in the north, so I guess he is from there."

Fang Sishen turned sideways, put up the shade with his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the sunlight carefully, and nodded: "It seems reasonable for you to say that."

Hong Xinyao was irritated by the sight, so he stretched out his arm and knocked off the hand that was building the awning, and by the way took off the plain glasses on Xia Sishen's nose, but said to Wei Deli: "Then what about him, look at what kind of man he is. "

Wei Deli started to study Fang Sishen, and continued to show off: "The color of skin and hair, um, is a bit strange... It is said that people with light skin color have light hair color. Why are you doing the opposite?" Pick up a strand and look at the light from a different angle.Seeing this, Hong Xinyao leaned over to the top of Fang Sishen's head, pinched a strand of hair and rubbed it between his fingers: "It's just black, black hair is everywhere in the street."

"That's not the case. Because the race has been mixed many times, pure black hair is rare. Most modern Xia people's hair reflects red or yellow to varying degrees when you look carefully in the sun. Look at Fang's hair, Is it very dark?"

Fang Sishen was embarrassed by these two, seeing many passers-by looking here curiously, he blushed and covered his head: "Hey, do you want me to cut it up and use it as a specimen?"

"Okay." Wei Deli responded casually, but then lowered his head to look at his face, "So your eyes are like this, I always thought they were single eyelids." Every movement of his arm seemed to touch the corner of his eyes, Fang Sishen jumped back in fright, forgetting There was still a strand of hair in Hong Xinyao's hands, and he let out an "ouch" in pain, subconsciously raised his head to rub it, and glared at the two disciples fiercely.He hadn't experienced such close physical contact for a long time, and he couldn't attack it in this situation, so he had to slander the innocent "anthropology".

Wei Deli himself preached to Hong Xinyao: "Human eyelids are generally divided into two types: single and double. If you look at square eyelids, because the overlapping part of the inside and outside is long, it is easy to mistake it for single weight, but in fact It’s double. Among the Xia people, this phenomenon is common among northern and southern mixed races.”

Both of them are taller than Fang Sishen, so they have to deliberately raise their heads to stare, and the inner eyelids that are usually not obvious are clearly displayed.Especially the little bit of arc at the end, with the unique cuteness and charm of the phoenix tail, has a natural demeanor, which is very different from the usual upright and peaceful appearance, and the two audiences are slightly stunned.

It was rare for Fang Sishen to lose his composure, so he quickly adjusted, put down his hands, and said to Wei Deli: "Northern-Southern mixed race? Good assumption. Is there any reason?"

"Well, this can also explain why the skin color is light, but the hair color is dark, because they have inherited the characteristics of the paternal line and the maternal line respectively..."

Hong Xinyao interrupted suddenly: "The eyebrows are also very deep, it's strange, why aren't the hairs deep? Well, there are still things you can't see..."

No matter how self-cultivated Fang Sishen is, he can't stand such teasing.Staring was no longer enough to express indignation, so he kicked directly.Young Master Hong let out an exaggerated "ow" and jumped to the other side of the foreign devil.

Wei Deli stopped Fang Sishen with a smile, and persisted in scientific conjecture: "The race with the highest purity of melanin hair should be the Tungus ethnic group, that is, the descendants of the ancient Eastern Hu ethnic group. Judging from the color of your skin and the size of your bones, the southern Guxia people The ancestry is more obvious, so I think," concluded proudly, "you should be the descendant of the combination of modern Northeast Xia people and Southern Xia people."

Fang Sishen put on a serious face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wei, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. My father's family lives in Jianghuai, and he is from the southern Central Plains, and my mother's family is from Jiangnan. Also," he gestured to his head, calmly Said, "I'm not born so tall, it's because my family was poor and malnourished when I was a child, you'll understand once you see my father."

"Ah... I'm sorry..."

Fang Sishen continued to be stern: "So, don't be superstitious about science."

Young Master Hong was the best at observing words and expressions, and immediately said: "Sit down, I'll go buy something to drink."

It turned out that the three of them had already walked under the wisteria corridor while they were talking.Hong Xinyao was already very familiar with the campus, but within 10 minutes, he walked back with a few bottles of drinks.From a distance, I saw foreign devils standing on the corridor dancing, but I didn't know what to speak.Fang Shudai sat on the bench with his back against the pillar of the porch, and raised his head to talk to him.When he got closer, he saw that Wei Deli was quite excited, and Fang Sishen took off his glasses and hooked them on his fingers, with a faint smile on his face, and he responded from time to time.After walking a few steps closer, I realized that it was not actually a smile, but closer to an indescribable helplessness.

The wisteria flowers on the porch are fading away, struggling to bloom the last of their blooms, regardless of their blooming, clusters of faded flowers are hanging everywhere.Sunlight squeezed in from the gaps in the dense vines, and sprinkled on the man's body together with the falling flowers. The pure black hair contrasted sharply with the crystal white face.

Hong Xinyao carefully put down the drink bottle, just squatted on the ground, took out the mobile phone in his pocket, carefully adjusted the angle, picked the foreign devil out of the viewfinder frame, and took in the remaining beautiful scenery.

From this day on, on Saturday afternoon, Hong Xinyao followed Fang Sishen in a grand manner, added a Wei Deli, and went home after dinner.Fang Sishen would never take extra care of him, he basically had a bite for lunch, and mostly had dinner in the cafeteria.Young Master Hong was picking and choosing, while eating and drinking for free.Occasionally, the three of them join forces and go to Xingzui Xuan to have a tooth-beating ceremony.

Fang Si carefully picked the loopholes in the thesis. It was Wei Deli who found the information and actually wrote it. Mr. Hong was too lazy to read it and couldn't see it.The so-called ignorance is fearless, it is called a reckless thunder rolling, which made Fang Sishen's heart twitch.Wei Deli didn't think much of it, he clapped the table and applauded from time to time, and occasionally wrote it down with a pen. Whenever this happened, Hong Xinyao would be so arrogant that he almost forgot his real name.Fang Sishen finally knew how the old men of the National Academy were pissed off by the foreign devils.

The guardian thought that Hong Xinyao insisted on taking remedial classes, and saw that Chinese, history, and Spanish were all progressing at the same time, and all of them had improved significantly.In this way, the half-day hang-out time on Saturday afternoon seemed to have some kind of honest reason, and it became an indispensable existence.

Unconsciously, more than a month later, on this day, Hong Xinyao followed Fang Sishen as usual and walked forward, shaking his head three times. Liang Ruogu walked out of the classroom together, with a strange yin and yang: "Jintu, your criticism is really long enough. where."

Hong Xinyao glanced at him: "Why, you are only allowed to be talented, and I am not allowed to make progress?"

Liang Ruogu smiled: "It's really impressive to put so much effort into it."

Hong Xinyao also laughed: "You will cross the Chencang secretly, so you don't want me to build the plank road?" It means that Liang Ruogu doesn't often exchange emails with Fang Sishen.

"Huh? Sure enough, you've grown up again! In two days, don't you want to call you a talented scholar?" Liang Ruogu teased him.To be honest, the idiom "Cultivating plank roads in the open, crossing Chencang secretly" is familiar from playing "Chu-Han Struggle for Heroes", but Hong Xinyao's ability to learn and use it so flexibly has indeed benefited from the recent training in Chinese culture, and his sense of language has become stronger.

Fang Sishen could not help smiling while listening to the bickering between the two.Liang Ruogu stepped forward to say goodbye to Teacher Fang before turning around and leaving.

The teacher and the student carried a bag of scallion pancakes to the mala tang stand and sat down. The weather was getting hotter and the business was quite deserted. There was no one else at this point.Hong Xinyao took out two crumpled pieces of paper from the outside of his schoolbag. He looked quite normal at first, but suddenly felt embarrassed, smoothed the paper and spread it out on the table, saying, "Mr. Fang, Teacher Fang."

Fang Sishen reached out and picked it up. It was a Western language test paper with 59 points.

"Help me search and see if I can find another 1 point." First Young Master Hong felt shy for the first time, "I, that, have never scored 60..."

Fang Sishen suddenly realized that this dude's school life was not comfortable for many years, so he said "yes" and looked at it seriously.

When the hot and sour noodles came, Hong Xinyao asked the boss for a plate, put two scallion pancakes and put them under Fang Sishen's nose: "Eat first, and then watch when you're full."

Fang Sishen pushed the test paper forward, supported it with chopsticks, and read it while eating: "There are 2 points here, but I don't think it will come back. Look, the space between words is not enough. The first half and the second half are connected together, which happens to form an ambiguity. pity."

The hot and sour powder covered his glasses, Fang Sishen took them off and wiped them on his trouser legs, then put them back on.Hong Xinyao tore it off: "I think you've already pretended to be used to it, so you don't feel tired!"

Fang Sishen was so hot that his face was covered with sweat: "Yes, it's uncomfortable to wear in summer. Anyway, I'm familiar with my classmates, so I won't wear it." He continued to review the test papers.

Hong Xinyao stared at a drop of sweat on the tip of his nose, and seeing that it was about to fall into the bowl, subconsciously picked up a tissue and gently dabbed it away.It took me a long time to react by myself, and I was a little dazed.Seeing that Fang Sishen didn't notice at all, he felt relieved, as if nothing happened.

"I think both answers to this grammar question are fine, and the meanings are slightly different. I will check with Wei Deli later. If both are true, I may get this 1 point. I can't find the others. By the way, remember Remind me to ask him about the lecture."

"I don't want foreign devils to see the confidential files!" Hong Xinyao muttered, took out the notebook and copied the questions Sishen pointed out at the bottom, and stuffed the test papers back into the bag.
