The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun laughed, now Nunu and himself are getting closer and closer.

"Nunu, why did you jump on my car that day instead of jumping on someone else's? There were several cars behind me." Fang Yun asked.

Nunu stretched out her little paw and pointed at a book of "Book of Rites" on the bookshelf.

Fang Yun took a look and said, "Yes, I was reading "The Book of Rites" in the car. Did you hear the sound of my reading and thought I was a good person and rushed here?"

Nunu nodded and looked at Fang Yun with a smile.

"It seems we are very destined." Fang Yun stretched out his hand to gently scratch Nunu's neck.

Nunu immediately narrowed her eyes and enjoyed it comfortably.

After lunch, the housekeeper of Fang Mansion came with seven people, saying that they were all selected by Mrs. Fang herself. They were all from Dayuan Mansion with an innocent family background, and asked Fang Yun to choose two to serve as his attendants.

The seven people were in the yard, with solemn faces and straight bodies. Each of them seemed to have a knife hidden in their eyes. Yang Yuhuan did not dare to approach them at all.

Fang Yun stood in front of seven people and walked back and forth twice. Some of these people had only one arm left, some were blind in one eye, and some had no obvious injuries. It seemed that they were all child soldiers who had to retire after being injured.

Tongsheng's body is much stronger than ordinary people. Once they practice martial arts, they will soon become masters. If they are attacked at close range, even Juren may be killed, but this is not the case when they encounter Jinshi. They can kill them in an instant with words and words. .

Fang Yun said: "Since you were selected by your aunt, you should all know each other. If you form a team and want to choose a captain, who will you choose?"

The other six people looked at the middle-aged man with a broken arm. The man was not strong and even looked a little honest, but his eyes were calmer than the other six people.

Fang Yun asked the man: "What is your name and what position did you hold in the army?"

"Tan Yu, he served as a corps commander, chief and captain, and later served as General Fang's personal soldier. He was discharged due to injury three years ago and has been working for the Fang family." Tan Yu spoke slowly and clearly.

Fang Yun nodded.

In Jingguo, there are five people in a team, three people in a team, and fifty people in a team.

Most captains are scholars, and it is unusual for a child to become a captain. The next step up from captain is to become a ninth-grade deputy lieutenant, which is a real official, but generally only a scholar can hold the position, and only a very small number of young boys can become lieutenants.

Fang Yun knew in his heart that he needed not only strong soldiers, but also someone with experience, brains and experience.

Fang Yun looked at Butler Fang and said, "Uncle Fang, my first choice is Brother Tanyu."

"The young master is indeed very discerning. One conversation is worth four veterans." Butler Fang showed his praise.

Fang Yun asked the remaining six people: "Who among the six of you can fight best?"

"Me!" The strongest person walked out, and the others did not object.

Fang Yun saw that there was nothing wrong with his body: "Why did you retire from the army?"

"I have to fight the Kraken in Yuhai City, but if I come into contact with the sea water for a long time, I will get a rash and the pain will be unbearable." The strong man said.

Fang Yun asked: "As my long-term follower, what do you think is the most important thing?"

"Protect Master Fang!"

"Okay, what's your name?" Fang Yun asked.

"Nie Shi."

Fang Yun nodded and asked Tan Yu: "If you want to protect me, what weapon is suitable for Nie Shi to use?"

Tan said: "If you want to kill the enemy, my sharp sword is enough. If you want to protect you with a stone, it is best to use a shield as a swordsman. You just need a good demon turtle shield, which is very rare among the people. It would be bad if you use an ordinary shield."

Butler Fang said: "Both the young master and the old master have collected a lot of sea monster things. There are no less than twenty monster turtle shells. You can follow me to pick one when the time comes. Your sword is just ordinary iron. You can use it in the house." Choose a monster object and make it into a weapon, such as a monster horn or a monster shark tooth."

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Thank you, Uncle Fang, and thank your uncle and uncle for me."

"I have long felt that the father and son have too many things. It is better to use them instead of leaving them to get moldy. Madam has agreed, you go and pick them first, and I will report them to the master after you finish." Butler Fang looked indifferent.

Fang Yun has been in Dayuan Mansion for a long time and has a better understanding of the Fang family. This Butler Fang was Old Mrs. Fang's playmate since childhood. They fought together to kill the enemy, saved Old Mrs. Fang's life, and even spanked Fang Shouye when he was a child. Both Fang Shouye and his wife respected him. If Mr. Fang got angry, only he could calm him down.

"Okay, let's choose Tan Yu and Nie Shi." Fang Yun said.

Fang Guanjia said: "I will have people build the weapons before the tenth day of the lunar month. When you go to the Fuwen Academy to report, you must bring Tan Yu and Nie Shi with you. On the tenth day of the lunar month, you must restrain Liu Zicheng and not let him If he has the opportunity to humiliate you, he will be more restrained in the future. Tan Yu and Nie Shi are both from the army. Once they fight hard, the Liu family's servants won't dare to fight. "

Fang Yun said seriously: "Junior, please remember this."

"Okay, let's go back first. Tomorrow we'll start talking about Yu and Nie Shi. I'll be your long-term follower."

After seeing off Butler Fang, Fang Yun stood in the yard thinking. Even Butler Fang could tell that Liu Zicheng was going to cause trouble on the tenth day of the lunar month. It seemed like that day would not go well.

"Even if you, Liu Zicheng, are protected by the left prime minister, you don't dare to do anything in the city. It's nothing more than doing something to damage my literary name. Now you can only fight back passively. When you become a scholar, you can take the initiative! The only problem is that the government If the Weiyuan Lord of the Wen Yuan breaks out, he will be in more trouble than Liu Zicheng, after all, he is a sixth-grade official. "

Fang Yun thought about how to deal with Lord Weiyuan and walked towards the house.

After lunch, Yun continued to study, while Fang Daniu kept collecting various invitations, and then kept telling people who came that Fang Yun was ill.

By the evening, Fang Daniu had received a total of 43 invitations and visiting cards, all of which were placed on Fang Yun's desk.

Some were to invite Fang Yun to dinner to make friends, some were to invite Fang Yun to attend private literary gatherings, and some wanted Fang Yun to teach his children.

Fang Yun kept flipping through them, and finally saw a strange letter from a student.

The student criticized Fang Yun's poems and said that his own poems were the ones that could protect the country in Mingzhou, and that others were blind. The student also said in the letter that if Fang Yun did not visit him at home to seek advice, he would send letters to various teahouses, literary gatherings, and academies to criticize Fang Yun, so that others would know that Fang Yun's poems and writings were terrible.

Fang Yun shook his head and thought: "Literati look down on each other, and their eyes and hearts are narrow. However, the more he looks down on other people's poems and essays, the happier I am. The road to literary status is to compete with countless literati. The more such people there are, the less competitive pressure I have. I should thank him for taking the initiative to make way for us."

You can not reply to the visiting card, but you have to reply to the invitation. Fang Yun wrote some polite replies and asked Fang Daniu to deliver them one by one.

For the next two days, Fang Yun pretended to be sick and kept reading and practicing calligraphy.

The next night, Fang Yun secretly went to the new house, chose his bedroom and study, and came back quietly under the cover of night.

On the third day, Fang Yun took the little fox to teach at the Fang clan school, and the Fang family sent people to Fang Yun's home to help move.

When he arrived at the teaching room of the clan school, He Yutang told Fang Yun that Class A had moved to a larger classroom and added 20 new students, 10 of whom were admitted through examinations, and it can be said that they will definitely be admitted as Tongsheng in the future. The other ten students were not bad either, but each of them had a great background, and they had to pay a full 1,000 taels of silver a year.

One of the children was even recommended by a member of the royal family, and he should be a relative of a prince.

Fang Yun did not care about these, and even hoped to teach more people when he had time, because he knew one thing very well. If people who grew up learning "Three Character Classic", "Fox Rhymes", "The Pillow Book" and so on entered the political arena one after another, then even if the left prime minister became a great scholar, he would be vulnerable in front of him.

However, Fang Yun did not have enough time after all. Now becoming a scholar was his main goal, and teaching a class of students was the limit.

Fang Yun did not teach "Fox Rhymes" today, but continued to teach "Three Character Classic".

No matter how deep their backgrounds were, the twenty new students were all honest, because their families had given them many instructions before they came, and some parents even threatened them with family rules.

Fang Yun studied hard for three consecutive days, and felt that his thinking was a little blocked. In the process of explaining "Three Character Classic" to students, he slowly felt that what he had learned was straightened out by invisible forces.

After teaching a class, Fang Yun felt refreshed.

"No wonder ancient sages had to give lectures to their disciples. Inheritance is one of them, and teaching is another kind of learning. If you think you understand and think the truth is correct, you can't express it in words and can't teach it to others, then it means that you either understand it wrongly or don't understand it deeply enough. There are also places that are vaguely understood, but after teaching, it becomes clearer."

"Similarly, it is equally important to communicate with other scholars. No wonder there are all kinds of private literary gatherings in the Ten Kingdoms. When I become a scholar, I must join an excellent literary gathering. Listening, expressing and debating can all make progress."

Although Fang Yun did not teach "Fox Rhymes" this time, the little fox still listened to the class as seriously as an obedient student, even more seriously than all the children.

After class, Fang Yun walked to the teaching room with the little fox in his arms, lowered his head and asked: "Did you understand my lesson?"

Nunu immediately nodded proudly and vigorously, nodding three times, but hesitating more and more each time. After the third nod, she shook her head unwillingly.

"Some of you understand, some don't?"

Nu Nu nodded, a little frustrated.

"It doesn't matter, you will understand after listening more. After a while, you will be the Tongsheng Nu Nu."

"嘘嘤!嘘嘤!" Nu Nu was so happy to hear this title that she almost went crazy, and struggled to get into Fang Yun's arms to show her intimacy.

After leaving the clan school, Fang Yun officially moved into the new house.

This house has three large courtyards, and there are fifteen houses alone, which is much more comfortable than before.

In the next few days, Fang Yun didn't go anywhere, but went back and forth between the clan school and the Fang family. When he passed by the bookstore, he bought some books, some of which were placed in the study, and some were collected in the world of strange books.

Unknowingly, it was the tenth day of April, which is the time for the Fuwen Academy to accept outstanding Tongsheng to report for admission every year.

Dayuan Prefecture has a total of one prefecture city and nine county towns. The first Tongsheng of each county and the top five Tongsheng of the prefecture city, a total of fourteen people, can enter the Fuwen Academy and study for three years.

In the early morning, everyone in the Fang family compound got up early and prepared everything for Fang Yun. At half past six, the carriage took Fang Yun to the Fuwen Academy.

Fang Daniu drove the carriage, and Tan Yu and Nie Shi were on the left and right, one with a sword and the other holding a shield, which was very eye-catching.
