Chapter 193 Confucian Rules
At this time, the new lotus garden is the season when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. The environment is elegant and the air is pleasant. In addition, Feng Yubao has sent someone to arrange it carefully in advance, which makes the participants of the poetry meeting feel very good.

Cao Xuefei came to Anguo Gong's mansion early and urged Zhu Qiongxian to go to the poetry meeting.

"Sister Xuefei, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhu Qiongxian pouted while sitting in the carriage.

"There are many Confucian scholars participating today, so I just want to see them." Cao Xuefei said softly.

"Besides, you didn't see Wenxiu coming to the capital before, so you have to make up for it this time."

"I'm not even interested in Wenxiu, let alone scholars." Zhu Qiongxian pouted.

"Knowing that you are not interested, just be with me, okay?"

Seeing what Cao Xuefei said, Zhu Qiongxian stopped complaining, but became vigilant.

Could it be that he will encounter a killer like last time today?
But Ling Ri also followed her on this trip, so don't worry about safety, after all, Xinheyuan is also within the scope of the capital, and Ling Ri's strength is enough to protect her.

So Zhu Qiongxian and his party arrived at Xinheyuan very quickly.

At this time, Feng Yubao and a group of Confucian scholars were watching the garden.

"The pavilions, terraces, pavilions, covered bridges and waterside pavilions are full of wit and profound charm. It can be called a scene every step!" A young Confucian scholar said, waving a folding fan in his hand.

"It is precisely because of this that I have taken a fancy to the New Lotus Garden, so I specially held the poetry meeting here, so as to be worthy of the presence of all the juniors!" Feng Yubao had a triumphant expression on his face.

The Confucian disciples who were present didn't show any displeasure when they heard Feng Yubao addressing them as juniors, as if that was the way it should be.

Just then, a voice came.

"Where did Mr. Feng come from, I don't remember that you are a disciple of Confucianism!"

Feng Yubao didn't expect someone to disrespect him so much in Xinheyuan, so he hurriedly followed the voice.

I saw a handsome scholar in a blue gown walking over.

"Xiao Zhongju!" Feng Yubao frowned.

As soon as the words fell, the Confucian literati present all turned their heads to look at the person who came. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, including scrutiny, curiosity, disgust, and indifference.
"It's fine if I call them Junior Brothers, but Mr. Feng." Xiao Zhongju shook his head, "Not qualified yet."

"You!" Feng Yubao was furious, but he didn't say anything.

"Hehe." A Confucian literati walked out of the crowd and said with disdain: "Senior Brother Feng once lived in Songyang Academy for a year, and he got along very well with us at that time."

"It's you, an abandoned Confucianist, what face do you have to appear in front of us again!"

Xiao Zhongju was not angry after hearing this, he took a few steps forward and looked at this person carefully, "Who are you?"

"I'm Cui Hong."

Xiao Zhongju pretended to think for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Ah! I think of you!"

"Haha." After finishing speaking, there was a burst of ridicule, "I remember that when you worshiped Master Tantai, it was your father who begged grandpa to sue grandma for it."

"I remember Master Tantai saying that you are of ordinary talent, and it will be difficult for you to achieve success in Confucianism and Taoism in the future. It is better to go home and become a rich man, so that you can live comfortably for the rest of your life."

"But your father took out Mr. Hua Yuan's "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" and begged my uncle to accept you as a disciple. Now it seems that it is really Mr. Tantai who has the vision to see that you are not the material !"

"You!" Cui Hongqi's lips turned white, his whole body was trembling, and he was also speechless.

Xiao Zhongju's words pointed out the things that bothered him the most, which made him extremely resentful.

Although it was not a secret in Confucianism that his father exchanged the "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" for him to learn from Tantai Chuanshan, but no one in Confucianism mentioned this to his face to embarrass him, which made Cui Hong subconsciously Forget about it.

But his talent is really not good, and he felt ashamed to stay in the Confucian school, so he chose to go out to study.

Now that Xiao Zhongju mentioned this matter to his face, it made him feel ashamed, but secretly clenched his fist tightly, nails digging deep into the palm of his hand.

"Hmph! No matter what you say, Brother Cui is a disciple of Senior Master Tantai, and he is better than an abandoned disciple like you. Do you know that Senior Master Yan personally went to ask Master Dong to forgive you for your sake? It's not worth it for Master Yan!" Another person stood up.

Xiao Zhongju narrowed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips tightly, and stared closely at the speaker.

"Haha, why don't you know me?" The speaker was full of arrogance, his face was slightly raised, and he looked at people through his nostrils, "That's right, we only met once back then, before I went to meet you When you were a Confucian genius, I heard you were expelled from the sect."

"Yan Weiyi!" Xiao Zhongju said in a deep voice.

"Yo, so you still remember me." Yan Weiyi shook his head slightly, "I passed the entrance examination and joined Master's sect with integrity, we are the same in that!"

In the Confucian school, it is emphasized that brothers and sisters of the same school should respect and love each other, and there should be no fights, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Although the Confucian disciples maintain a harmonious appearance on the surface, in fact there are class and discrimination.

Generally speaking, those who are at the top of the biological chain are those seeded players who have the reputation of genius.

They were often found to be different from ordinary people not long after they were born, which attracted people from the Confucian sect to check in person.

If they meet the qualifications of Confucianism and Taoism, they will be admitted to the sect when they were young, and at the same time they will be assigned great Confucianism to teach them personally.

In this way, they have been taught by the master since childhood, and various resources are provided, so their future prospects are limitless.

Xiao Zhongju's senior brother Yi Xingzhi was recruited by his master Yan Shizhen since he was a child, so he was able to become Wenxiu at such an age.

Moreover, most of the great Confucianists and Jijiu in the Confucianism sect now have such backgrounds.

Secondly, Yan Weiyi and Xiao Zhongju, who passed the annual Confucianism exam, were accepted into the sect.

If you perform well in the school, you also have the hope of being accepted by the great Confucianism.

The worst one is like Cui Hong, relying on his family background to spend money desperately, so although he can also join the Confucian school, and even worship a great Confucian as a teacher, he is at the bottom of many disciples.

Unless he himself can stand out through acquired efforts, after a few years of practice in Confucianism, he will take the opportunity of going out to study and return home, and he can also call himself a disciple of Confucianism.

Don't look at Confucianism's emphasis on etiquette, but in fact it is also a Jianghu sect, and everything is still respected by strength. If there is no achievement in Confucianism and Taoism, then it will not bring any benefits to the teacher's school, so it is not taken seriously.

But someone like Xiao Zhongju who had high hopes and then betrayed the Confucian sect without authorization would be hunted down by the Confucian sect.

If his master, Yan Shizhen, hadn't asked the sect leader for forgiveness, Xiao Zhongju would have been escorted back to the Confucian sect for punishment.

Now that Yan Weiyi jumped out to accuse Xiao Zhongju, he wanted to see how the other party would refute.
