The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

With Fang Yun's poem, everyone no longer hesitated. Some people left one after another and agreed to come to express their condolences tomorrow.

Not long after, Fang Yun and Zhao Hongzhuang said goodbye to the Chen family and walked out the door.

Zhao Hongzhuang said: "I will take you back. I have something to tell you on the way."

"Okay." Fang Yun said.

There were many carriages parked in front of the door. The two of them were looking for them when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Marquis Fang Wen, have the invitations for the Double Ninth Festival been delivered?"

Fang Yun looked around and saw a middle-aged man wearing white Jinshi uniform walking over with a smile, followed by two entourages.

Fang Yun didn't know this person, and was about to ask, when Zhao Hongzhuang whispered: "Wei Yuhuang from the wealthy Wei family. The Wei family is in charge of this Double Ninth Festival cultural gathering."

Fang Yun was stunned. The name Wei Yuhuang was a famous one. He was the Yuan of Jingguo seven years ago.

Back then, Wei Yuhuang was fighting with someone in a restaurant and accidentally killed a scholar. He was caught and was sentenced to ten years of exile.

However, the poems and essays derived from the Spring and Autumn Prison Judgment of the Ten Kingdoms were used to expiate crimes. Wei Yuhuang was a candidate for the examination and had not committed a capital crime. He met the basic conditions for poems and essays to expiate his crimes. Later, he wrote a good article in prison and obtained temporary expiation. Finally, He participated in the trial and won the Huiyuan in one fell swoop, successfully exempting himself from guilt.

In the past hundred years in Jingguo, many people had the opportunity to write poems to atone their sins, but it was rare to see one truly successful in ten years. This Wei Yuhuang was the only person to successfully write a poem to atone his sins in the past ten years, so Fang Yun remembered it very clearly.

Fang Yun looked at this man carefully. He had an upright appearance, was polite, and did not have the arrogance of coming from a big family.

"Brother Wei, I have long admired your name. I first came to the capital and I didn't receive an invitation to the Double Ninth Festival." Fang Yun said with a cupped hand.

"This year Jingguo's Double Ninth Festival literary party will be hosted by our Wei family. No one can be invited, but you can't be invited. If you don't go, our Wei family will be embarrassed. Brother Fang, you must appreciate it. "Wei Yuhuang said, holding a red invitation with chrysanthemums in his hands.

Fang Yun hesitated for a moment, then took the invitation and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, you're welcome. It's not easy to host a cultural gathering of this scale. Thank you all the members of the Wei family for your hard work. Needless to say, I will definitely go to support it."

Wei Yuhuang's eyebrows flashed with joy, and he said: "Brother Fang, I was afraid you would refuse. When I saw you today, I realized that he is a humble gentleman. You really can't believe what others say, and you should believe it when you see it. On the ninth day of September, we will Waiting for you at Yushan."

"Definitely go."

Wei Yuhuang suddenly smiled and said: "Fang Yun, no one can lose to a man from the Qing Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom."

Zhao Hongzhuang's face sank and she opened her mouth to curse, but Wei Yuhuang gave a despicable laugh and turned around and ran away.

Fang Yun sighed helplessly and said: "Hongzhuang, it seems that you are very popular in the capital. Stop choosing and find a good man to marry."

"How come your tone is exactly like that of my elders? Stop talking nonsense and get in the car!" Zhao Hongzhuang glanced at Fang Yun and walked quickly towards the carriage.

Fang Yun was about to follow when someone suddenly said: "Marquis Fang Wen, stay here."

Fang Yun remembered that this was Yi Mingtian's voice. When he looked back, he saw Yi Mingtian, Xiao Guogong and other people from Kangshe approaching quickly.

With a guilty look on his face, Yi Mingtian clasped his hands and said, "What happened today is that Yi was blind and did not recognize a true talent. Seeing you and Hongzhuang being intimate again, I was confused for a moment. I hope Marquis Wen can forgive me."

Fang Yun smiled and said: "It's a small matter. If you sincerely apologize, I will sincerely accept it."

Yi Mingtian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Fang Yun to be so direct. He immediately said seriously: "Although I have lost all my face today, I have only lost face. If I am still entangled with you, it is not as simple as losing face. Besides, I I have a little acquaintance with Zong Wude, and he knows me as a person.”

Fang Yun said with a smile: "I'm going back with Hongzhuang in the car today, won't you be obsessed with it?"

Yi Mingtian smiled helplessly and said: "I know a little bit about you. I don't say whether you and Hongzhuang are in love or not. If you really take action, there will only be a dozen or so young talents from the ten countries who can compete with you. And I’m not among them. So, I’ll judge the situation and quit for now.”

Fang Yun said: "That's a pity. If you don't quit, Duke Xiaoguo will definitely help you with all his strength. Right, Duke Xiaoguo?"

Fang Yun looked at the handsome little Duke.

The young Duke smiled and said, "Mingtian is my best friend. If he needs anything, I will naturally help him with all my strength."

Fang Yun nodded, turned around, took a step back, and said, "Please help me, Mr. Guo, to send a message to Supervisor Yu. This time, just buy my teacher's life-extending fruit. If you don't want to hurt me next time, just give it to me." It's not as simple as breaking two legs!" After saying that, he turned and left.

The little Duke looked gloomy and stared at Fang Yun's back without saying a word.

The people around him did not dare to speak. On the surface, Fang Yun was talking about Guan Zhang Yu, but in reality he was warning the young Duke. Even a fool could see that even if Zhuang Juren had eaten gentian, he would not be able to provoke Fang Yun when something happened to the Chen family. Yi Mingtian can never give orders, only the Duke of Xiaoguo can do it.

"You go home and bandage your hands." After Yi Mingtian said that, he left the little Duke and walked towards his carriage.

"Come back to the academy with me." The little Duke's face darkened, and he quickly boarded his carriage, and several of his friends also entered together.

The carriage was quiet.

One person showed his literary courage and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it is unwise to be an enemy of Fang Yun. He is just a supervisor, Yu, so let him go."

The young Duke nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, get out!"

"I..." The man's face turned pale.

"Get out!" There was no emotion in the little Duke's eyes.

"Alas..." The man sighed and left.

After the man left, the carriage returned to silence, and the four people sat silently beside the young Duke.

The young Duke said slowly: "Do you really think I will embarrass Fang Yun for a Guanzhang Yu? It's better not to have such a fool. Guanzhang Yu is working for my Kangwang Mansion anyway. He was humiliated like this, and Fang Yun refused to let him go. If the Kangwang Mansion does not care, how can it recruit talents in the future? My Kangwang Mansion is not afraid of the Queen Mother or the Left Prime Minister, so how can we bow down in front of Fang Yun!"

"Your Highness is right. But His Highness the Crown Prince ordered us not to provoke Fang Yun."

"My eldest brother is cautious, and he is not like me who has a son in a semi-saint family. Good mother, naturally I dare not provoke Fang Yun who is in the limelight. But I am not afraid. Even if Fang Yun wants to kill me, I will hide in my grandfather's house. What can he do to me? "

"Then... do you still want to continue to target Fang Yun?"

"I thought I would let him go after making him look bad today, but who knew that he not only did not make a fool of himself, but was appreciated by everyone in the Chen family. That would be enough, but the Chen family hates me now. How can I let it go when I have suffered such a huge loss? However, I don't need to do it myself. There are too many people in the capital who don't like Fang Yun!" The little Duke laughed.

"In three months, the joint examination for the imperial examination will begin. I don't know how many people wish Fang Yun would fail!"

"Humph, Fang Yun is used to being rampant in Jiangzhou, but this is the capital. If you are not careful, you will fall into a big trap!"
