Chapter 138 Etiquette and Class

Li Qi spread his hands innocently: "Do you want to get a sincere opinion from me, or do you just want me to applaud?"

The countess scolded: "I didn't see sincerity at all! Even if the farmer is vulgar and ignorant and cannot see through these details, and cannot understand kindness and love, he will not misunderstand what you said! Don't think that I just talk but don't practice, I've done my best in the territory!"

Li Qi joked with her: "Aurora, to see such a beautiful lady as you, don't care about the etiquette, even if you just shout hello, the farmer will not pick his ears for three days. Blow yourself to be blessed by the beautiful Aurora."

"Hey!"

The countess blushed suddenly, it seemed that this was the first time she was "countered back" by Li Qi, and she failed for a while.

Fortunately, Li Qi didn't take advantage of it, but just discussed the matter: "But don't you want to spread this kind of elegance? Then you should put aside your personal factors and consider the problem.

The countess was silent for a moment, then frowned and said, "You mean, this is too complicated, common people and slaves will misunderstand? But how could they be misunderstood to the extent you said? This is all in line with status, showing goodwill, and conveying elegant love Isn’t the etiquette of nobles based on this?”

Li Qi began to dig a hole: "I think like I just did. I dare not say all of it. There is always half of it. Of course they dare not reveal it. I don't care about it. You can find a psion to detect the farmer's thoughts .”

"I still don't believe it!"

The countess said: "The result should be that they don't know what elegance is, and they don't understand such kindness and love, so they are only at a loss."

"You're getting to the point, they won't get it."

Li Qi dug a hole again: "Then teach them, let them understand that these gestures are the nobleman's grace to them, and they are showing their kindness and love to them."

"Indeed, such a thing must be done first," the countess entered the pit in a daze.

"but……"

Li Qi turned around and kicked the countess into the pit: "Since they must be taught, they will know what elegance is. Then let them understand that nobles point their chins at them and step on their heads with their leather boots. To lash their backs with a whip is the grace of nobility, and isn't it more convenient for the nobility to show them kindness and love?"

The countess said angrily: "Li Qi, you are carrying your load again! This is oppression, not kindness and love!"

"Look, you also know that everyone will not get it wrong."

Li Qi finally couldn't help sneering: "Aristocrats and civilian slaves are different races, with different languages ​​and cultures, and they must use translation and teaching to understand what actions mean?"

"Speak and look at the other person to show sincerity, smile gently to show kindness, bow to show respect, and raise hands to show no hostility. This is an etiquette that humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and even devils understand naturally."

The countess followed Li Qi's train of thought a little bit: "I probably understand what you mean, but don't forget that nobles, commoners, and slaves are still different! How can they follow the same etiquette!? You are also a noble, Don't you understand this?"

"That's right, Aurora!"

Li Qi continued to lead her to Xinkeng: "Then I was right. Since etiquette is different, how can you expect to convey goodwill and love through etiquette that only nobles can understand?"

"If goodwill and love, that is, the elegance you mentioned, must be based on a set of etiquette that can only be understood by the other party if it is taught, rather than on the etiquette that ordinary people don't need to be taught and understand naturally, isn't this a reminder to yourself and the other party? , are different groups from each other?"

The Countess's eyes were a little wobbly: "Your inference is a bit..."

Li Qi reminded: "Aurora, think about the grand etiquette you used to greet me before, and what are these etiquettes used for."

"You mean...how, how is this possible?"

After all, the countess is not a vase with big breasts and no brains, and she has realized something, but she can't accept it for a while.

General Li Qi: "I think you should understand that the etiquette of nobles is a class... It is a sign of status and status. It is used to distinguish the difference between yourself and others, not to convey goodwill and love."

The countess sat down on the sofa and murmured: "That is to say, my idea of ​​using etiquette to convey elegance between nobles and other people is fundamentally wrong? Elegance has nothing to do with commoners and slaves." significance?"

"You're wrong again..."

Li Qi continued to attack relentlessly: "Elegance is very meaningful. Elegance can strengthen the role of etiquette. Many times, etiquette has been solidified into the instinct of both parties. At this time, elegance can remind ourselves and the other party more powerfully. Not equal."

It's like coming back from overseas with mixed Chinese and English...

Like a mouth full of Shakespeare Shelley...

These are also very "elegant", of course most are just trying to be elegant.

The countess showed some signs of collapse, and shook her head and said, "But no matter what your status is, don't everyone yearn for kindness and love? Aren't they all good people? How can they make distinctions all the time?"

Silly Baitian is not a question of IQ and EQ, but of not having a correct worldview.

Li Qi said: "Aurora, this is contradictory to what you just said. Etiquette, I mean those etiquettes beyond what people are born to understand, isn't it a status label? You pressed your chest on my arm, isn't it? Are you reminding me that you are a beautiful woman? If I have one too, there would be no special meaning for you to do so."

"Li Qi..."

The countess forced a smile and said, "This is not funny, we are talking about doctrine."

"Okay then," Li Qi sighed, "My understanding of elegance is completely different from yours."

"Elegance is the same as music, literature and art, and even joy. It is the lubricant that condenses the aristocratic class. It is the symbol that the aristocratic class radiates energy and shows nobility. When elegance crosses the aristocratic class, it becomes a boundary line, a soft line. , without the use of actual force, to make commoners and slaves realize that there are different boundaries from each other."

Li Qi stared into the Countess's eyes and said, "Elegance is a declaration of the aristocracy's superiority to others, and a show off of the superiority and nobility of the inferior people. How can it convey kindness and love?"

"class?"

The countess savored this fresh and unfamiliar vocabulary, and a chill spread in her heart.

Li Qi said: "Yes, class... No matter which world or era, there will always be a group of people who hold power and the things that generate power, and oppress and exploit another group of people from generation to generation. This is only the most superficial division. In short, every A group of people is a class."

The Countess's tone became a little weak: "But aren't you a nobleman? Isn't Lady Scarlet the God of Love? The doctrine is not everyone for me, I am everyone's great love? Why do you say these things have nothing to do with your position and your beliefs? If you contradict each other, will you be so calm? It's like talking about something that has nothing to do with you."

Li Qi spread his hands: "This has nothing to do with my personal background or my personal emotions. I'm just telling the truth of the world."

The countess asked in a low voice, "The teachings of Lady Scarlet?"

Li Qi smiled without saying a word, and the countess forced a smile and said, "I finally understand what kind of belief lies behind you wanting all slaves to be free."

You will not understand now, but you have seen the direction.

"Don't change the subject, we are talking about your belief." Li Qi could see that the countess already had a nail in her heart, and this level was enough.

But speaking of it, this "elegance" really has something to do with class theory, and now revolutionary theory lacks this core.

This elegant lady who is believed by the countess does not know what the original priesthood is, if...

Li Qi shook his head secretly, thinking too much.

"Yes... it's my belief." The Countess panted for a while, and suddenly raised her eyebrows at Li Qi: "Good Li Qi, are you trying to shake my faith? I'm an elegant saint!"

"Then don't do things that don't match your identity." Knowing that she was feigning anger, Li Qi said with a smile, "Letting nobles convey kindness and love to commoners and slaves is violating the teachings of an elegant lady."

"After you become my pope, give me orders again." The countess completely calmed down: "Most of what you said just now was to fool me, just like you fooled Timmy before, right?"

Li Qi laughed again and said nothing, but the Countess didn't care, and continued: "According to Lady Scarlet's teachings, shouldn't we be enemies? You are still laughing and laughing with me, your god will not condemn you for not being firm in your faith? "

"We are private to private." Li Qi said shyly, "My Lord is not the God of Justice, the kind of mad god whose teachings are different but enemies of life and death."

Whatever the creed, the other gods of Fein were her natural enemies.

"You...you are no longer the young and cute little guy you used to be." The Countess folded her arms, "I have to be careful in the future, I can't give you sweets anymore, you have reached the age where you can eat people ..."

Are you just giving me sweets now?Why are you holding your chest up so high!

Li Qi turned his eyes away embarrassingly, thinking that his ability to lose moral integrity is still a bit inferior after all.

"Oh, it would be great if Theresia could be like you." The countess became depressed again: "I'm not just troubled by this during this time, Theresia..."

The circles of her eyes were slightly red again: "We had a big fight before. It's not that she is defiant and looks down on me because she became a queen. It's... how should I put it, I feel that she seems to have nothing but this war and overthrowing the Other than incense, I don’t care about anything.”

"I'm very worried about her situation. I persuaded her to be gentler and unite with more people. She thought I was speaking for you, saying that I was bewitched by you, by Ms. Scarlet."

"Some of her words are similar to what you just said. She believes that order from top to bottom is better than everything. Kindness, compassion, and love are necessary, but they must be limited and cannot be touched. The bottom line of order. These things beyond the boundaries are just the comfort of the weak and the evil attempt of those with ulterior motives to subvert the order."

"So, she called me... a vase with big breasts and no brains."

Li Qi listened quietly, it seemed that this was the real source of the Countess's lifelessness.

"I don't dare to ask about the king, but I just asked about Catherine, and she got very angry."

The Countess spread her arms and smiled bitterly: "She kicked me out of the League of Loyal Gods, and she didn't let me take up any post in the kingdom, Li Qi, I'm now a poor lonely ghost."

Li Qi secretly rejoiced, this is an opportunity!

It has been decided to transfer the channel of external contact to the Kingdom of Kester, but the Kingdom of Hadron must not lose it.When the fixed portal between the territory and Epsilon is built, it might be possible to make more preparations here. Li Qi is worried that he doesn't have a good agent.

"Look, I've confessed enough to you, don't you even reveal a little bit of it?"

There was a light in the countess's eyes. It was the gossip soul that Li Qi was very familiar with in his previous life.

Sure enough, she went straight to the point: "After we left the royal hall, what happened inside? Is Princess Catherine really with you?"

Li Qi hesitated, he was still not sure how much he should let the countess know.

While meditating, the door of the living room was slammed open, Ellie dragged her big sword, and rushed in with a murderous look, followed by a terrified Jingdong.
