Chapter 300: Rage in public, gluttonous literary thief

When talking about the No. [-] family in the literary world in Longshou Prefecture, many people would say that it is the Yu family, but there are also some who are not convinced.

Speaking of the number one elder in the literary world in Longshou Prefecture, this Mr. Feng De, who always leans on crutches when he gets up, may also be counted.

But when it comes to No. 1 in the literary world of Longshouzhou, there is no suspense, it is the literary leader Lu Lifeng.

Facing everyone's greetings in unison, Lu Lifeng returned a salute with a smile, and said softly, "You don't need to be too polite."

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Mr. Lifeng, come and sit here."

Ye Wenhe personally moved a chair and placed it next to Xia Jingyun.

After sitting down, Xia Jingyun pretended to have completely forgotten what happened just now, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's continue then?"

All eyes looked at the silent old man tacitly.

Many people understood that this was a step Xia Jingyun gave the old man.

Lu Lifeng has already arrived. In terms of his qualifications and prestige in the literary world of Longshou Prefecture, Lu Lifeng is really not inferior to you, an old man who has made his way up by relying on three-point ability and seven-point age. No matter what qualifications you want to use to overwhelm others, it is aimed at your family's reputation , is impossible.

If it's interesting, let's pretend it never happened.

How would he choose?

Just when everyone thought that the old man would also shut up, he stood up tremblingly again, "Master Xia, do you want to use power to suppress others?"

Xia Jingyun's eyes showed pure doubts, "Who am I crushing?"

Seeing Xia Jingyun pretending to be stupid, Mr. Fengde snorted coldly and looked at Yu Zonggu, "Yu Wenyan, do you really want to go your own way regardless of Yu's family reputation?"

Yu Zonggu's face showed embarrassment, and almost as a matter of course, Lu Lifeng spoke up, "Mr. Fengde, Ye's apprentice, Yu's apprentice, what do you mean?"

Since the steps are given to you, if you don't leave, don't blame me for not saving face for you.

Mr. Feng De was not surprised that Lu Lifeng opened his mouth to participate in the war, and said directly: "The Yu family academy is the leader of many cultures in Longshou Prefecture, and the Yu family's literary integrity should also be a model for my generation. Today, the Yu family Don't ask about talent and learning, only recognize the power and wealth, and exchange the prestige of the family and scholars for the benefits of the powerful. How can you convince the public by doing this? Isn't he cut off from the literary world of Longshouzhou? The literary world has its own rules. If you worship a teacher, you can If you are so reckless, where is the dignity of the literary world? If the words of the Daoist are so casual, where is the sanctity of the sages? Could it be that you, Lu Wenyuan, do not recognize this truth?"

Lu Lifeng shook his head and sighed, "I really don't recognize this truth."

As soon as these words came out, the scholars and literati in the field were all shocked.

Mr. Feng De is using big words to suppress people. You can find other big words to refute, but you can't insist that he is wrong!
What kind of stupid move did Mr. Li Feng make?
When Mr. Feng De heard the words, he was surprised first and then pleased. He twirled his beard and waited for Lu Lifeng to speak nonsense.

After Lu Lifeng made a speech that was not surprising, he then explained: "Why don't I admit it? Because the truth itself is wrong. I have always known Mr. Fengde's character. You believe in the path of sages and you should not speak lightly. It is not easy. Xu, euphemistically saying that only in this way can people know the importance of the Tao and learn the teachings of the sages sincerely. This theory is very popular in Longshou Prefecture. Therefore, each has its own context and faction. Those who want to learn must first experience a After going through ups and downs, he can pass on his knowledge."

Mr. Fund interrupted rather rudely: "Isn't it right?"

"It's indeed wrong." Lu Lifeng said directly: "What are the consequences of doing this? Each school is increasingly cherishing its own words, its own learning, and its own secrets. It is not passed on to others, and it is used as a basis for its own strength and status. The basis of wealth and fame is that people only think about how to expand the momentum of their family school or faction to seize its interests, but do not pay attention to the in-depth study and analysis of knowledge. As a result, today's knowledge has become more and more shallow, and everyone is miserable at the cultural context. Withering is all due to this shortcoming!"

He looked at everyone, "How can the words of the saints be passed on to future generations? Saints are not ashamed to learn, and they are also widely spread among others. When speaking with others, they are self-consistent, and arguing with others fills up what is lacking in their learning, so one person's trickle , Gather the wisdom of all people, and finally become the will of the ocean. Now, we and other descendants, in terms of wisdom, we are not as good as the past saints, and in terms of talents, we are not as good as the sages. Wouldn't it be absurd to put your knowledge on the shelf while you cherish your own broom?"

"Bold!" Mr. Fengde was furious, pointed at Lu Lifeng and yelled: "Lu Wenyuan, you are here to confuse the public with your monstrous words, questioning whether you want to extirpate yourself from Shilin! Do you want to extirpate yourself from the world!"

Xia Jingyun said lightly and honestly: "If you don't move, you will cut yourself off from the literary world, and you will cut yourself off from the scholarly circle. You are an old man, whoever gives you face will always call yourself a scholarly scholar in the literary world. Do you have the ability to represent the literary world and scholarly circle?"

Mr. Fengde was so angry that his chest heaved violently, but he didn't dare to scold him, who was a disciple of Mr. Guanlu, who was praised by the three masters of Tushan, and even the champion of the Sanyuan. His disciples and grandchildren helped to support him, patting his back and feeding him with water.

Lu Lifeng didn't bother to bully this kind of old man who didn't have much level, and said slowly: "In the first month of this year, I was invited by the British Lord to go to Zhongjing City, and participated in the spring festival reception of Mr. Linxi, Mr. Wan Lin, and Mr. Kongbi. feast."

Many people suddenly realized that the Spring Festival banquet, under the blessing of the name of Wenzong, the three masters of Tushan, was accompanied by the "Teacher's Talk" and the sentence "An De Guang Mansion has thousands of rooms, and a big shelter for the poor in the world" The great wish of Huan Yan has spread all over the world.

But then someone became even more puzzled. Didn't Mr. Li Feng and Mr. Xia have their own masters at that time? Mr. Li Feng still lost, so how do you see that they have become friends just now?
Lu Lifeng did not explain this problem, but said: "The three gentlemen are from the Tianwen Sect, and each has his own knowledge. I have many confusions in my mind, but due to the family background, it is inconvenient to ask, but who knows, When he was saying goodbye to the three gentlemen before leaving, Mr. Linxi actually took the initiative to say goodbye today and didn’t know when we would see each other again. He asked me if there was anything I didn’t understand and that I could discuss it with the three of them. I Naturally, I was overjoyed, and the conversation lasted until late into the night."

Lu Lifeng showed nostalgia, "At the end, I couldn't help but ask the two gentlemen, I am not from their lineage, why are you so generous to me? They said that scholars in the world have a teacher and a moral tradition, but learning should not have a door The first opinion! The reason is not clear, only by communicating and discussing, and learning together, can we make progress together. Back then, Mr. Linxi also asked Mr. Yu Guanlu, and Mr. Guanlu also knew everything about it, and he never hid it. Afterwards, when I got home, I found out that after the Spring Festival banquet that day, Tu Shan opened the gates of the mountain every tenth of the month, so that you, whether you are a farmer or a high-ranking official, can gather together and listen directly to the three This is the knowledge taught by this old gentleman and his personal disciples. This is the courage of Emperor Wenzong of the world, and this is the bearing that a true scholar should have!"

Mr. Feng De was so angry that his beard and hair were trembling, and he pointed at Lu Lifeng tremblingly, "Bewitching people, talking nonsense, deviant! Lu Wenyuan, you are committing suicide."

"You are the one who cut yourself off from the literary world!" Lu Lifeng finally couldn't hold back his temper, and shouted in a deep voice, "You are the kind of person who keeps talking about sect opinions all day long, but actually seeks his own self-interest. Shilin is precisely because of you. It has gradually become like stagnant water, and the literary world is dying day by day because of you, what face do you still have to call yourself a veteran of the literary world, and what face do you have to represent the scholarly literary world at every turn?"

"The prosperity of the literary world lies in the literary sects like Mr. Guanlu and Mr. Linxi, who are tolerant of all rivers and rivers, and benefit the world, and in the scholars who study and learn, not in those who are like you, who only enter and exit, and are full of self-interest. Gluttonous scholar!"

He pointed to Ye Mingfeng, "As long as one wants to learn, as long as others are willing to learn, what does it matter to you if others are willing to accept professors? A literati should do what a literati should do. Don't use the guise of righteousness to realize your dirty interests. exchange! You humiliated a young man face to face in front of so many people, have you ever thought about his feelings? Have you ever thought about how much your words and deeds are a blow to a heart of learning? This is what you, a senior in the literary world, should did something?"

Mr. Feng De was already out of breath with anger, he held on and said: "The Ye family is rich, but the Yu family is just following the trend!"

"The sage taught nonsense, did you hear it went into the dog's stomach?"

Lu Lifeng said directly: "Can't a wealthy family study? Then Mr. Linxi, Mr. Wanlin, and Mr. Kongbi held a Spring Festival banquet and accepted five disciples, including two princes. Are you saying that the princes have no Are they qualified to study, or are the three old gentlemen just scumbags who want to cling to the imperial power?!"

Mr. Fengde pointed at Lu Lifeng, "You, you, you."

"If you want to object to this matter, then state your serious objection, and don't use such flimsy and crappy words to ruin the character of us scholars for no reason!"

Lu Lifeng said in a deep voice: "Mr. Linxi said well that the cultural context must be inherited, but learning does not need a family, no matter whether it is family education or faction, only with an open mind and communicating with more people, can knowledge be developed. To make progress, what you teach others is not to lose, but to develop and grow. I will also follow the example of Tu Shan, and give lectures at home on the fifteenth of every month. Anyone who is willing to come can listen!"

After saying that, he looked at Ye Mingfeng and said, "Young man from the Ye family, you are sincere in your pursuit of learning. If the Yu family doesn't dare to accept you, I will accept you!"

"Hahahaha! Mr. Lifeng, this is a good seed that my Yu family likes, you can't snatch it!"

Yu Zonggu let go of his worries, and said with a smile, "I will also report to the Ming family when I go back. I hope that Yujia Academy will open lectures on a certain day, so as to imitate Mr. Lifeng's noble character!"

There was a burst of heartfelt applause and cheers from all around.

At this time, Mr. Feng De had already been refuted to the point of speechlessness, he breathed in more than he breathed out, and with the support of several disciples and grandchildren, he left in despair. "Continue to pay homage to the teacher!"

The emcee's shouts were like slaps on their faces, loud and clear.

The overall situation was settled, and none of the crowd jumped out to make troubles. No matter what kind of thoughts they had in mind, they all put on a happy look at this moment, so the guests and the host had a good time.

After the banquet, everyone left one after another.

On a leaving carriage, the second master of the Xiao family, Xiao Fenglin frowned, and his attendants sat aside respectfully, and whispered: "Second master, we haven't fulfilled the orders of the third master this time, so we'll be fine when we go back?"

Xiao Fenglin clicked his tongue and shook his head, "What can happen? I never thought that Xia Jingyun could take care of the Hu family so easily, and then invited Lu Lifeng! That's Wenkui of Longshouzhou! What we did wrong How can the old man be my opponent!"

The entourage also echoed: "Isn't it? I thought it was an exaggeration to talk about this Xia Jingyun before. But today, when I saw it, it was really amazing! How long had he been in Longshou State, and yet he could have such abilities? How could he even think of going there? Please invite Lu Lifeng, how can you invite Lu Lifeng here!"

"Then I don't care. What I'm worried about is whether that idiot from the Hu family has some leverage that Xia Jingyun has grasped. If so, one of the four major families will be accepted by him as a dog, and the other will cooperate with him, and the rest will If one of them is caught by him, it will be difficult for our Xiao family!"

"The third master must have a way."

Xiao Fenglin seemed to know his weight, and he was not angry when he heard the words, and nodded, "Let's go, go back and tell him face to face."
-
In front of the Xiao family motorcade, there were a few galloping fast horses running wildly.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the horse couldn't stand it anymore, and the man on the horse finally regained his composure, "Have you left Chuning County yet?"

The guard on the side smiled bitterly and said: "Second Master, you have left long ago, and you are almost arriving at Huai'an County now!"

"Get off your horse and rest!"

Hu Dingming breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and got off the horse, only to find that his crotch was hot, and his whole body was about to fall apart.

He leaned weakly under a big tree, unconsciously picked up the water bag and drank it, it was scary!It's scary!

What on earth did Xia Jingyun become? He is so inhuman!

He actually followed him!
I thought he didn't dare touch the Hu family, but I didn't expect that he was really fishing for big fish with a long line, the key is that he still caught it!
Damn it!People surnamed Yuan, you brag so much about yourselves, but you turn out to be such a bunch of losers!

Can't you see someone is following you?

It was even taken over by someone!Is it plausible?
The appearance of Lu Lifeng today made Hu Dingming shudder even more.

Xia Jingyun's thoughts were too deep, and his calculations were too fierce.

He simply wiped out the group of people surnamed Yuan, and easily brought Lu Lifeng here. How many cards does he have in Longshou Prefecture?Is there any other layout?

Can I and the Hu family survive?
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to rest any longer, and quickly called everyone to get up again, and ran towards the Hu's house. Only by returning to the Hu's Yayuan could he give himself a sense of security.
-
Chuning County, the residence of Fifth Elder Cao Sijin.

The atmosphere is a bit depressing today.

Cao Sijin sat in front of the desk in the study, with a gloomy face, obviously very angry.

The butler stood aside respectfully, lowered his head, and tried not to let his eyes look at the kneeling figure of Cao Sijin between his legs under the desk.

He pouted his buttocks slightly, hiding the movement of the small tent, and whispered: "Master, the Yu family is a family of literati, and the Ye family has a good relationship with him, so it won't affect our Cao Gang, so you don't have to worry too much."

Cao Sijin frowned, "I'm afraid that the Ye family's reputation will rise after this incident, which will be very unfavorable for our next actions."

He raised his head and said, "Is there any news about what you went to inquire about? Who are those thieves?"

He has always had an ominous premonition that the gang of thieves who were wiped out in one sweep could not be the group surnamed Yuan?
If that's the case, then his situation will be difficult.

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "I haven't responded yet, so I'll go to remind you soon."

"Okay, let's deal with this matter quickly!" Cao Sijin waved his hand after speaking, and the butler retreated wisely.

When the door was closed, a greasy panting came to his ears, which made him tremble uncontrollably, and he almost couldn't hold it back.
-
Ye family.

Mrs. Ye was very happy, and her face was full of joy, and she walked a lot more briskly in the reception of guests, and she didn't feel tired at all.

Ye Wenhe, Ye Hongluan and Ye Mingfeng sat in the study and took a short rest.

"Feng'er, you have seen what happened today with your own eyes. How difficult it is. How many people are helping you in order to facilitate this matter. When you go to the Yu family, you must study hard to be worthy of the treatment these many people have for you. Help and give those who try to hinder you a speechless result!"

"Especially Mr. Xia, since he is your greatest benefactor this time, he has calculated and arranged everything properly, so that you have the good things you are doing today. He is also a role model for your life. In the future, you can have half of his achievements, and be a father die with no regrets."

Ye Mingfeng nodded, her expression was no longer the timidity and looseness of the past, there was light in her eyes, and her expression was full of color.

After talking about business, he turned to look at his sister, "You were injured today, how is your injury?"

Ye Hongluan waved his hands nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'm used to the slight injury."

Ye Mingfeng said: "You are now old enough. It's time to think about getting married. Stop fighting like this. Who will dare to marry you in the future?"

"Hiss!" Ye Hongluan raised her brows, "Oh, yes! You started to teach me a lesson before you went to Yu's Academy, right? Do you want me to impress you first, so that you don't go to Yu's house? Forget the story."

Ye Hongluan began to roll up his sleeves as he spoke. Ye Mingfeng suddenly became frightened when she remembered the fear of being dominated by this sister since she was a child.

Ye Wenhe didn't try to persuade the fight, just watched with a smile.

At this moment, the housekeeper came to report in a hurry, "Master, just now there was a message from the county government that Mr. Xia asked you to go to the county government tomorrow morning, saying that there is something important to discuss."

　Technician No. 88 has a good technique, and his waist is getting better. I will try to write another update today.
