Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

At dinner time, the family of five sat around the small stairwell again, enjoying affordable but delicious dishes.

"Master...I'm sorry that I haven't been working in the hall these days. You can just follow the rules and deduct the days I'm missing from my salary."

Sitting next to Fu Nina, Link apologetically poured Walnut a glass of freshly squeezed juice from Sunset Fruit.

"Hey, Alin, what are you talking about? As long as your heart is in the hall, then you are in the hall. Our Shengsheng Hall is not an unit with financial difficulties, and we can definitely afford the salary." Hutao He waved his hand generously, obviously not taking Link's absence to heart.

"Alin, now that Miss Fu is about to give birth, you can concentrate on Miss Fu's affairs. As for the affairs in the hall, the hall master and I can take care of them." The weather has turned cold recently, and Zhongli also put on a coat. A well-made leather jacket.

"That's right, A Lin, you don't have to worry about things in the hall... But Zhongli is different. You have nothing serious to do all day long. What are you doing if you're not on duty in the hall?"

"Master, one of you and I will be in charge of the inside, and the other will be in charge of the outside. Only in this way can we embrace everything. If we both stay in the hall, wouldn't we become useless scholars who talk about things in vain?"

"The problem is, Zhongli, you don't do any business outside?" Hu Tao frowned, "Don't you spend business money every day to entertain yourself?"

"Hmm... So in the eyes of the hall master, I am such a lazy and idle person?" Zhong Li touched his chin thoughtfully.

"if not?"

Hu Tao put her head on Zhongli's shoulder, "So Mr. Zhong, are you ready to start working seriously from tomorrow?"

"I'll try."

"You said the same thing last time!"

"I think Mr. Zhongli is the living sign of our Palace of Purities. When Mr. Zhongli is walking on the street, when someone sees Mr. Zhongli, they will think of our Hall of Purities. This is not equivalent to doing something for the Hall of Purities. With..."

"advertise."

Seeing that the silly Fu Nina's head was short-circuited again, Link quickly helped her pick up the conversation.

"Yes, Mr. Zhongli is equivalent to advertising for the Hall of Rebirth!" Funina clapped her little hands happily.

"Speaking of which, when I was at Fontaine, many people approached me to shoot commercials, and there were lots of endorsement fees."

"Wow! Really? I heard before that only very famous and influential people can be commissioned to shoot advertisements!" Hu Tao immediately flattered her appropriately.

"Really, really, at that time, there were no photos of me anywhere in the streets and alleys of Fontaine?" Funina raised her eyebrows proudly.

"Yes, I remember when I first came to Fontaine and took office, there was a poster on the building opposite the Embassy of Zhidong. On it was Fufu holding a bowl of puppy biscuits, with a big slogan written on it: The delicious food specially ordered by Lady Funina, please buy it for your precious pet to try!"

"Pfft~~" Hutao couldn't help but laugh.

"Link! If you keep talking too much, next time you eat, just grab a bowl and order some food and go to the room to eat alone!" Funina put down her chopsticks and said viciously.

Link raised his hands in surrender, then put one hand to the corner of his mouth in a zipper gesture.

"No, is this really happening?" Hu Tao suppressed her smile, "Fufu, what on earth were you thinking at that time?"

"How did I know that it was dog food? They said they would give me 300,000 Moras for taking a photo. I felt like I was getting a big deal, so I agreed. Later, they actually said that there would be a penalty for removing the photo..." Funing Na stuck out her tongue.

"This... doesn't it mean that Fontaine is the most law-abiding country?" Hu Tao scratched his head, "If you want to remove the photos, there must be other ways, right?"

Link shrugged, "Master, what do you think is the most important thing about law?"

"Justice?" Hutao touched his chin and replied tentatively, "The law must be about justice, right?"

"No, although justice is important to the law, the most important thing..." Zhongli said meaningfully,

"It should be equality."

"Before the law, rich and poor are equal, men and women are equal, and everyone is equal."

"So you don't feel conflicted?"

Link shook the juice in the cup, "On the one hand, Fontaine is a country that pursues the rule of law, but on the other hand, it is a society divided into civilians and aristocrats."

"The biggest joke in the world is that the emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty."

"If there is an obvious class differentiation in a country, then its leaders must have certain class tendencies when adopting political measures."

“The Confucian etiquette emphasizes kings, ministers, fathers, and sons; Buddhist scriptures advise people to take pleasure in hardships, suffer in this life, and be blessed in the next life... These thoughts and religions may seem to have their own truths, but to put it bluntly, they are not just solidifying classes. Are you trying to persuade people not to resist?"

“If the law is not equal, what is the difference between a fence and a fence for livestock?”

"At least the law provides an opportunity."

Funina glanced at Link and said, "The cage cannot control people. On the one hand, the cage is not strong enough; but on the other hand, it is also because people are too smart."

"We can't change people directly, so we can only repair the cage slowly. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people, and it takes thousands of years to establish rules. The emergence of anything is a process from scratch. You can’t deny it before it takes shape.”

"Plant trees for one generation, enjoy the shade for one generation, and bear fruit for one generation. Link, you should look further ahead."

"I'm afraid that the fruit I planted today will be picked by others in the future." Link said meaningfully.

"Okay, let's stop this topic." Fu Nina picked up a plump steak and put it into Link's bowl.

"Now that we have become ordinary people, we should stop thinking about the things that big shots should worry about."

"That's what Miss Fu said."

Zhongli nodded, "If you are in your position and seek your own government; if you are not in your position and yet you are pursuing your own government, wouldn't that mean you are acting as a substitute?"

"I don't have any special meaning."

Link shook his head and drank the juice in the cup.

"After eating and drinking, he likes to complain and make Mr. Zhongli laugh."

"Alin, it's easy to find problems, but it's not easy to find solutions to them." Zhong Li patted Link's shoulder gently.

And even if a solution to the problem is found, it is difficult to bear the cost and implement the solution to the end.

It is easy to look up the mountain, but difficult to climb the mountain.

"Today...are so many people going together today?"

Early the next morning, Link helped Funina get dressed, and the two of them had breakfast together and prepared to go to Bubulu for a prenatal check-up.

As soon as she opened the door, Funina saw Yelan, Zhongli and Hutao wearing various large cotton-padded jackets.

"Miss Fu doesn't know. In Liyue, it is customary for family members to accompany family members to see a doctor. Before, there were some affairs that had not been dealt with in the hall, and it was inconvenient for me and the hall master to escape. Now that the hall is empty, there is no longer any excuse for absence." Zhongli patted Hu Tao, who was wearing a big mask next to him.
