Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 7
As soon as he entered Wangji, the figure of Daliang City immediately came into view. As the ancient capital of Wei State, Daliang City's scale is naturally beyond doubt, and its grandeur is far beyond that of Dongjun.

This is the first time Fu Nian has come to the capital of a country. Although he was used to seeing high-rise buildings in his previous life, he still couldn't help being attracted.

On the outskirts of Wangji, Sikong Weiyong and his group are preparing to welcome Lord Xinling's team here.

"Lord Sikong, Lord Xinling is here."

"Okay!" Wei Yong's face finally softened a little when he heard the news, "Everyone, follow me to meet Lord Xinling."

"Here!" All the ministers said in unison.

Lord Xinling's chariots and horses in the center approached slowly, and Wei Yong led a group of civil and military officials who came to greet him.

"Sikong and Wei Yong have a meeting with Mr. Xinling, Your Majesty ordered me to wait here for your car." Wei Yong stepped forward and said, cupping his hands.

"Lord Sikong, it's been a long time!" Lord Xinling helped Wei Yong up and said.

At this time, Fu Nian and Ji Yanran were waiting in another car, and such occasions were not for the two of them to participate in.

"Mr. Xinling, Your Majesty has prepared a banquet to cleanse you up. I will enter the palace right away." Wei Yong said.

"It's so good, I haven't seen you for many years, I really miss Brother Wang." Lord Xinling nodded and headed towards the Wangcheng with Wei Yong.

The majestic royal palace stands in the center of Wangji. The towering palaces, magnificent buildings, and magnificent and gorgeous palaces all show the majesty of the royal family no matter from which angle you look at it.

A group of chariots and horses came outside the palace and stopped in front of the palace gate.

Seeing this, the guards guarding the gate hurried forward to open the gate of the palace, and all the ministers filed in.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xinling is here!" An eunuch came to the throne to report.

"Good! Good! Good!" On the throne, Wei Wangyu said cheerfully, "Hurry up, no, I will welcome you in person!"

Wei Wangxing looked eager, got up and walked towards the gate of the palace.As soon as he arrived outside the hall, he saw Lord Xinling and Wei Yong surrounded by important officials.

"Meet the king!"

"Exemption!" Wei Wangyu said disapprovingly.

"Brother Wang, I have suffered for you all these years!" Wei Wangyu personally supported Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, with tears in his eyes.

"Brother Wang! Wuji is ashamed!" Lord Xinling Wei Wuji was also filled with emotion.

"Brother Wang! It's good that you come back, as long as you can come back, it will be the luck of the widow! The luck of Wei!"

Both parties have a tacit understanding, or brothers and friends.

…………

The frame slowly drove into the city, and the horse's hooves stepped on the road paved with bluestone slabs, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

Daliang City is undoubtedly prosperous, Lu Nian opened the curtain and looked out through the window.

I saw all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, some selling cloth, some selling jewelry, some selling jade, etc., in short, everything that one expects to find.

And there are even more pedestrians on the street, gathering in groups of three or four, discussing something.

"It must be your first time in the capital." Ji Yanran smiled when she saw the curiosity in Lu Nian's eyes.

"I have lived in Dongjun since I was a child, and I have never traveled far." Lu Nian said.

"If you have free time, sister, I can take you around." Ji Yanran gently stroked Fu Nian's bun.

He finally treated me like a child, Fu Nian thought to himself when he saw Ji Yanran's behavior.

Not long after, the car stopped slowly, and the first thing I saw was a majestic mansion.

"Brother Nian, we're here." Ji Yanran said softly.

Fu Nian came back to his senses after hearing this.

"Master Ji, do you know where Lord Xinling is?" A man walked quickly and asked Ji Yanran.

"My lord, he entered the palace to meet the king, I will wait for the accompanying people to come back to the residence first." Ji Yanran said.

"I have already tidied up the mansion, everyone can rest first." Come humanely.

This person noticed Fu Nian, sized him up a few times, and then asked Ji Yanran: "Master Ji, who is this?"

Ji Yanran said: "He is my younger brother, and he is also someone that Lord Xinling values, so he will live here with me from now on."

Hearing this, the man was slightly taken aback, "That's natural, that's natural."

"I'm Huang Zhanger, I don't know what to call Zhongzi?" Zhang Er said.

"Fu's surname is Lu, and his name is Nian." Fu Nian said.

Zhang Er nodded, and led the crowd towards the mansion...

He and Ji Yanran were assigned to an adjacent courtyard.

Various flowers are planted inside, and there is a long corridor leading to the vestibule. At the end of the corridor, there is a gorgeously decorated wing room, and the walls of the wing room are covered with various paintings.

The courtyard was also quiet, which made him quite satisfied.

He has been in Daliang for more than ten days, although he is not alone these days, he just thinks of his father, Fu Nian can't help feeling a little sad.

"Master, do you want servants to serve you?" A sweet voice came, and a woman in a lavender dress came in with a bucket of hot water.

"No need, I can come by myself. If there is anything, I will call you." Fu Nian waved his hand.

"Yes, the servant will leave." The woman blessed her body and withdrew.

Fu Nian walked to the tub, took off her clothes, and sat down slowly.The warm hot water slid down to the whole body along the skin, Lu Nian closed his eyes, feeling the true energy in his body.

Later, he should order someone to back up the medicine according to the list, and the medicinal diet and medicinal bath for internal strength cultivation are exhausted again, but the pill is not known how to solve it for a while, maybe he can only wait for the foster father to find him.

Feeling the true qi slowly circulating in his body, Fu Nian couldn't help feeling a little excited, this feeling was never felt in his previous life.

After half an hour, Fu Nian stood up from the bathtub, took a towel to dry his body, changed into a loose robe, and walked out of the room.

Suddenly there was a gust of fragrant wind, and immediately after, a slim figure fell into his eyes.

"Brother Nian, did you rest well?" Ji Yanran asked softly.

"Take a break." Fu Nian said.

"I'm really bored today, why don't Brother Nian play a game of chess with me, I think you are also a good player." Ji Yanran suggested.

Fu Nian smiled slightly when she heard the words, and said: "Sister Ji is so elegant, I think I should accompany you, but sister Ji don't blame me for being a bad chess player."

"How dare I blame you!" Ji Yanran smiled lightly.

When the two came to the pavilion, the servant girl had already prepared the chessboard for them.

Fu Nian sat on the seat opposite, and the servant girl poured syrup for the two of them.

Ji Yanran grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess basket, "Guess first."

Fu Nian heard this and looked at Ji Yanran.

People can never control their own thoughts, ninety moments are one thought, and one moment in one thought is subject to nine hundred births and deaths. He said: "I already know..."

He kept observing Ji Yanran, and then said slowly, "I...guess it's...odd."

The chess pieces in Ji Yanran's hand fell on the chessboard: three pieces, which happened to be an odd number.

"You seem to be able to read people's hearts." Ji Yanran looked at Lu Nian, with a strange light shining in her eyes.

"It's just some cleverness, not worth mentioning." Fu Nian said.

Immediately, black and white stones were placed on the horn stars. Different from the later generations, today's Go is based on the seat system, with white first and black second.

There is also a saying by a respected person that the masters hold the white, and the low-level players hold the black and play first.

"Sister Ji, be careful." Fu Nianzhi dropped a white ball on the hanging corner.

Ji Yanran smiled slightly, and landed a sunspot on the right corner.

The two tried a lot, Bai Zi gradually got the upper hand, and Hei Zi was exhausted.

"Your chess strength is far better than mine." Ji Yanran said, she knew that the person in front of her was an extremely intelligent person.

She thought to herself that her chess skills were extraordinary, but compared to the person in front of her, she was far inferior.

Ji Yanran smiled and said: "As the saying goes, watching chess is like watching people, and your chess is like your people. Your move is in balance with the ground. It's plain and ordinary at first, but it's actually a murderous move every step of the way. It's hard to guard against."

She couldn't see through the naive boy in front of her.

Fu Nian smiled upon hearing this, "Sister Ji is absurd."

His style of chess is exactly that of the later generation's balanced school. He does not pursue swift and violent moves on the chessboard. He is good at long-distance competition, pays attention to defense, has a solid layout, and focuses on taking advantage of the situation.Peaceful and remote, wonderful into the subtle.

What Ji Yanran didn't know was that Fu Nian's predecessor came from a later generation, and had chess skills thousands of years ahead. Now that he is a little familiar with ancient chess style, he is already superb in mental arithmetic, and he can handle it with ease.
