The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun took back the cup and thanked everyone again.

Festivals may seem to have no practical benefits, but they are of great significance to literary reputation. Even great scholars cannot get such honor. Neither Li Wenying nor the Minister of Literature have such festivals.

In the two hundred years since the founding of Jingguo, the only national festivals formed by people are the birthdays of the founding ancestor and two semi-saints. The semi-saints who died before the founding of Jingguo were celebrated in only one state.

Once this city banquet festival is held, the entire Yuhai Prefecture will celebrate this festival every year, which will inevitably affect the various prefectures in Jiangzhou and then the Panorama Prefecture. The significance is unimaginable.

Fang Yun's previous merits need to be reviewed by the Saint Academy, and finally need to be approved by the Saint's golden pen. The comment on literary reputation has not yet been determined.

But with this city banquet festival, Fang Yun has obtained the first level of literary reputation that literati dream of, and his name is known throughout the country. Now when the "Literary Newspaper" mentions Fang Yun, it can directly write Fang Yun as famous throughout the country.

There were middle-level and even high-level figures from various aristocratic families present, and there were more than twenty Jinshi, but only Fang Yun and Li Wenying were truly famous throughout the country, and the rest would never get this literary fame in their entire lives.

"Please help me introduce the guests, Lord Dong, so that I can fulfill my hospitality as a host." Fang Yun said.

Prefect Dong said: "Then I will introduce them one by one. This is Zeng Yuan from the Zengsheng family, who has just arrived in Yuhai City."

"I have heard of your name for a long time, and seeing you today is even more famous than before!" Zeng Yuan smiled, and his attitude towards Prefect Dong was completely different from that in the reception room.

Fang Yun also laughed and said, "Zeng's Golden Abacus once used a capital of 100,000 taels of silver to make a net profit of 800,000 in one year, shocking the business world and being a genius."

Zeng Yuan did not expect Fang Yun to know his name. This was an affirmation of his ability. He suppressed his excitement and said modestly, "It's nothing, just some silver."

Then, Dong Zhifu introduced, "This is Chen Zhiling from the Chen Sheng family of Jingguo."

Fang Yun stood in awe and said, "I heard that Chen Zhiling led the Chen family's disaster relief convoy to travel thousands of miles overnight for disaster relief and did not sleep for three days. I have long heard of your great name."

Chen Zhiling was very happy, but he said, "It's a small matter, not worth mentioning."

Then, Dong Zhifu introduced everyone one by one, and these people were well-known in various places. Fang Yun read countless books and had read all the "Wen Bao" in recent decades. Except for a few people who were really not famous, he mentioned the deeds of 90% of them one by one.

Feng Yuanjun nodded secretly on the side. It seems that Fang Yun rarely socializes not because he is arrogant or has no social skills, but because he is busy with reading. However, once he is in such an occasion, he can be good at dancing with long sleeves, telling others' outstanding deeds one by one, without flattering or belittling, which is the easiest way to win everyone's favor. Based on this alone, Fang Yun has reached the initial realm of "etiquette".

After getting to know all the guests, Fang Yun introduced Yang Yuhuan to everyone. Everyone praised her, but a few people had strange colors in their eyes.

In Shengyuan Continent, even at family banquets, women rarely sit at the same table with men. Only the host's mother, grandmother and other elder women can sit on an equal footing with men. Although Fang Yun brought Yang Yuhuan here, it was not impolite, but it was still a bit inappropriate for her to sit among these people.

When they were about to sit down, Yang Yuhuan bowed slightly to everyone, and said to Fang Yun: "I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Fang Yun reached out and held Yang Yuhuan's hand, smiled and glanced at everyone, and said: "With so many friends here, it would be disappointing for you to leave. Today you will sit with me and celebrate the city banquet together. I haven't been home much in the past few days. I finally have time to be together. How can I let you go! Everyone, with such a lovely wife, who of you is willing to let go?"

The atmosphere in the room was originally a little subtle, and after Fang Yun finished speaking, the subtle atmosphere was swept away, and everyone laughed.

"Young people are romantic, so naturally they are reluctant to let go."

"You went to the Holy Ruins to kill monsters and barbarians, leaving Jiangzhou Xishi alone in an empty room, so you naturally have to compensate. Come, sit down!" Dong Zhifu hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"It is said that Fang Zhenguo did not forget his wife when he was promoted. Good."

Yang Yuhuan blushed, lowered her head, and bowed again to express her gratitude.

She held Fang Yun's hand tighter.

The two sat down. In order to avoid suspicion, the elder Dong Zhifu sat on the other side of Yang Yuhuan, and there was a large space in the middle.

After Yang Yuhuan sat down, she lowered her head. After a while, she poured wine and served dishes to Fang Yun. When she peeled shrimps, she also removed the shrimp intestines cleanly without saying a word.

Fang Yun drank and talked with everyone, and a small accident happened at the door of Tiandibei.

A little fox looked around blankly, turned around several times in the same place, and never found the person he was looking for. Then he looked at Xiao Liuxing in confusion.

Xiao Liuxing shook gently, indicating that he didn't know either.

The little fox was even more confused, scratched his head with his little claws, thought for a long time, and then walked forward slowly with an elegant step, his eyes full of vigilance, as if facing a great enemy.

Xiao Liuxing suddenly flew over and leaned on Nunu's shoulder.

Nunu turned his head and cried twice in dissatisfaction, as if saying: Why don't you run away? Don't you want me to get close?

The little meteor swayed gently, as if saying: I know I was wrong, we are good friends, I won't run away anymore.

Nunu snorted, raised his head high, and walked in the crowd. The little meteor was even more shy than Nunu, and followed the little fox closely.

A child on the road saw it and immediately pointed at Nunu and shouted: "Kitten! Little white cat!"

Nunu turned his head to look at the child, showing a look of disgust, and left with a shake of his head, leaving the stupid child and the adults laughing.

The little meteor swayed briskly, as if he admired the little fox very much.

"Whose little fox is this? Come, let your sister hold it." Several girls came over and immediately became excited when they saw the beautiful little fox. Two girls even squatted down, and one reached out to hold it, and Nunu immediately stepped back.

"Don't scare the little fox." Another girl pinched a hot fried chicken strip and handed it to the little fox.

Nunu looked at the fragrant chicken strip, leaned forward and sniffed it gently, his eyes relaxed, hesitated for a moment, and seemed to remember something, gently stretched out his front paw and pushed the girl's hand away.

The girls giggled.

"This little fox is really interesting, then what do you like to eat, we will buy it for you."

Nunu tilted his head and thought about it, shook his head, showing a look that these people are troublesome, and continued to walk forward.

The girls were amused by Nunu and continued to laugh like silver bells.

The little meteor admired Nunu even more and gently touched Nunu's shoulder.

Nunu cried twice, as if to say: Stop it, I have something serious to do!

Little Meteor followed obediently.

The Tiandibei was filled with dining tables and people everywhere, the sizzling sound of cooking, the loud shouts of visitors, and even some people selling free snacks. These people actually pushed snack stalls into Tiandibei and made snacks for everyone for free.

Nunu couldn't find Fang Yun, and became more and more irritated, but he didn't get discouraged, and kept sniffing, looking for Fang Yun's smell.

Many people were attracted by this cute little fox along the way, and wanted to hug him and pass him food, but they couldn't stop Nunu from finding Fang Yun.

Until he reached the end of Tiandibei, Nunu stopped, leaned his ear against the wall and listened for a while, then raised his head, stretched out his paw, and patted gently.

There was no response, so he patted again, and suddenly, a faint light descended, bringing him and Little Meteor to the room where Fang Yun was.

As soon as Nunu saw Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan, she immediately grinned happily, ran over with brisk steps, jumped onto Fang Yun's legs, and then lay down comfortably.

The little meteor also hurried over and landed on Fang Yun's shoulder, gently spinning, as if looking at the people around him, but it seemed afraid of being seen, so it immediately flew to the side of the little fox, letting the little fox block itself.

Those businessmen felt sorry to see the little meteor fly under the table. They were experienced and guessed that the little meteor must be a rare treasure.

"Fang Yun, what is that meteor-shaped thing? I was curious when we met outside the city in the early morning, but it was difficult to ask." Prefect Dong asked while pouring wine.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "I don't know what the little thing found in the Holy Ruins is, just keep it as a puppy, anyway, it's easy to keep."

The little meteor suddenly jumped from Fang Yun's legs to the air in front of his chest, so that everyone could see it, and then shook it desperately, expressing his dissatisfaction, saying that he was better than the puppy!

Before Fang Yun could speak, a small white claw stretched out from under the table, grabbed Little Meteor, and pulled it back under the table.

Nunu stared at Little Meteor, whimpering a little unhappily.

Little Meteor shook aggrievedly, not daring to fly up to refute Fang Yun again.

Everyone found it interesting, but the thing belonged to Fang Yun, and no one probably knew what it was used for, so no one mentioned it again.

"Fang Zhenguo, since the Holy Ruins have been destroyed, it is no longer a secret. Can you tell us about the Holy Ruins? Of course, you can just pass by the things that are inconvenient to talk about. If it is convenient, you can talk about Xun Ye and the evil king. Now the rumors are flying everywhere, and we don't know whether they are true or false." Zeng Yuan said with a smile.

Fang Yun thought to himself that this person was really good. He was obviously reminding himself to set the record straight. The details could be disclosed through this banquet, which would be more effective than what others said.

Fang Yun nodded and said, "Since you have honored me by attending this city banquet, I can't give you any thanks, so I will tell you the real story of the Holy Ruins. When I entered the Holy Ruins, I fell directly into a swamp. As you know, the Holy Ruins are extremely dangerous, so..."

Slowly, Fang Yun told his experience in the Holy Ruins. When he talked about Xun Ye stopping Han Shoulu from giving him the Secret Records of the Holy Ruins, some people shook their heads slightly. When he talked about the sneak attack by the evil king, everyone held their breath. Yang Yuhuan instinctively reached out to hold his hand, and then the little fox's paw also came over; when he talked about waking up from the poison, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xun Ye called him a piece of waste paper, several hot-tempered people couldn't help but curse, and the little fox also cried angrily.

Prefect Dong interrupted and sneered, "No wonder he is not as good as others in the Comet Corridor. This is retribution! If he can treat you well, once you leave the Saint Ruins, and with the training of the sub-saint family, it will only be a matter of time before you become a great scholar!" "No wonder the Xun family has been covering up this matter. It's disgusting!" Zeng Yuan shook his head. Fang Yun smiled slightly. Zeng Yuan was qualified to say so. Zengzi was a disciple of Confucius and his seniority was higher than Xunzi. In fact, many celebrities or semi-saints at that time could be said to be from the same line of Confucius, such as Wu Qi, who was as famous as Sun Tzu, Shang Yang, who reformed the law, Xunzi, Li Si, Han Feizi, etc., all of whom were disciples of Confucius.
