Wentang

Chapter 183
A restaurant in Chang'an City.

"Have a child like Yue Cuilan, who is already famous all over the world at the age of 12. The incompetent in my family is going to be crowned, and he only knows how to do nothing all day long." A middle-aged man with a rich appearance said enviously.

"Brother Ma, you have too high demands on your nephew. Longshou Shanzi is a man among gods, and he is no match for ordinary people like me. I heard that the academy he opened does not ask about family status. I am going to send my family's unworthy son Going to study, do you want to come together?" Another white, fat, short middle-aged man next to him said.

"Brother Niu, how could he have such an idea? We don't know that Longshou Shanzi, nor do we know the situation of that academy. Sending the child there hastily may delay the child's future." The 'Brother Ma' Surprised.

"Hehe... Brother Ma, don't worry, why didn't I consider this. The one I want to send over is the bastard of the family. It doesn't matter if he doesn't study well. If he studies well, he can become a good helper for the family in the future." That' "Brother Niu" said in a tone of mastery.

"Brother Niu is brilliant, then I will also send a child there to study." 'Brother Ma' suddenly realized and said in admiration.

At this moment, I heard a cold snort coming from the table next to me: "Hmph, it's really shameless to use my own flesh and blood like this. What the sages said is true, the merchants of that generation are shameless people."

The two 'brothers', Niu and Ma, suddenly changed color, and said angrily, "Where did the little bastard bark here, he's getting impatient."

It was a young man in his early twenties who was speaking mockingly.Facing the angry ox and horse, he was not afraid at all, and said coldly: "Sure enough, you are a cowardly person, full of vulgar words. Why, you two are doing well, so others can't say it?"

"You..." That brother Niu was so angry that he wanted to go up and hit someone, but he was stopped by brother Ma.

"Brother Ma, what are you pulling me for?" Brother Niu said angrily.

Brother Ma gave him a wink to signal him to look at the people around him. Brother Niu saw that all the diners in the restaurant were looking at them.Especially when looking at the two of them, they are full of disdain and eagerness to try.

Brother Niu immediately calmed down. This young man in white looked like a scholar. If he was beaten up in public, things might not go well.But he was unwilling to let him go like this.

When he was racking his brains to think of countermeasures, he heard Brother Ma sneer and said: "The king guides his ministers and the father guides his sons. Unfilial. You are a scholar, don't you even understand this truth?"

"My son, I can do whatever I want. If you have an opinion, you can go to your teacher to discuss it, and trouble us two lowly merchants. Doesn't it seem that you are bullying?"

Hearing this, all the onlookers nodded in agreement.Yes, the three cardinal principles were proposed by a sage, and this businessman is right.On the contrary, this scholar is too lenient, right?
The Three Cardinal Guides and the Five Constant Principles were proposed by Dong Zhongshu, but ordinary people don't know this point, they just think it is said by a sage.

The young scholar also realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said: "False reasoning and nonsense distort the holy meaning. The sages said that a minister should be loyal and a son should be filial. But he also said that the emperor should treat his ministers preferentially, and the father should love his children. You two The one who pushes his own child into the fire pit is in vain as a father."

The onlookers once again showed their deeply appreciative expressions, and turned their attention to the ox and horse again, waiting for their rebuttal.

At this time, Brother Niu also reacted, and replied: "Which eye of yours saw me push my child into the fire pit."

The melon-eaters once again turned their attention to young scholars.

"You send your children to Longshoushanzi's academy, what is it not to cheat them?" The young scholar sneered.

"Nonsense, Longshou Shanzi is a master of calligraphy, and he can still write books. Why is the academy he opened a scam? Please make it clear." Brother Niu said.

"Hmph, he's only 12 years old. Even if he practiced calligraphy in his mother's womb, he can't become a master, let alone write a book. Those copybooks and books were clearly written by others and occupied by him. Only you fools can Believe it." The young man snorted coldly.

"How is it possible? The sage and Li Shaobao personally admitted this. You don't suspect that they are lying, do you?" Brother Niu questioned.

Li Shaobao was Li Gang, and at this time he was still serving as the prince Shaobao.

The young man didn't dare to question the emperor and Li Gang. If the news got out, he wouldn't have to mess around in the future. He quickly said, "Of course the saint and Li Shaobao wouldn't lie, but they must have been deceived by Yue Shan."

"I'm afraid it's not that Longshou Shanzi is lying, but that you are jealous of his achievements and deliberately discredit him." At this moment, that brother Ma suddenly said.

"You...I...I, Xingzhou Gan Yuanfeng, are jealous of him, a lifelong ghost hunter...What a big joke." The young man said loudly with his face flushed as if his mind had been told.

"Xingzhou Ganyuan Peak? I haven't heard of anything. It turns out that he is a country bumpkin. I said how could there be such ignorant people in our capital." Brother Ma sneered.

"That's right, Longshou Shanzi dedicated his martial arts plow to the benefit of all the people. Who among us people would not be grateful to Dade and would like to build a shrine for him. This person dares to say that he is pretending to be a ghost, that he is a liar. The book is read in the stomach of a dog." Brother Niu also said loudly.

"Folks, don't you think so? Everyone here has never used a Wude plow. Even if you haven't used it yourself, your relatives and friends must have used it. Do you just watch him being so slandered and insulted by a foreigner? "

"It's just..."

"Who is this person? I have long disliked him, speaking so arrogantly."

"Didn't you hear what he said, Xingzhou Gan Yuanfeng?"

"Where is Xingzhou? I've never heard of it."

"I haven't heard of it either. I guess it's somewhere in the corner."

"This person probably thinks he is great because he is famous among them, and he looks down on everyone in the world."

"..."

The surrounding people who eat melons were also affected, and they began to make a lot of comments.In a word, regional differences and preconceived ideas make them naturally lean towards Yueshan.

It doesn't matter where Yue Shan's hometown is, now he is from Chang'an County, and he also dedicated Wu Deli to benefit the common people.Even though everyone ridiculed him in private and used him as a conversation piece after dinner, there was always some agreement in their hearts.

Hearing him being ridiculed by a stranger now, he was naturally not happy.It's fine if no one provokes, now someone is taking the lead, and they don't mind fanning the flames behind their backs to make this foreigner look ugly.

Qian Fuzhi died of no illness, Gan Yuanfeng finally panicked, his face was white and his eyes looked at the people around him with some horror.He wanted to refute loudly, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

At this moment, a person suddenly ran in from the outside and shouted loudly: "Have you heard? The sage named Longshou Mountain as Qingshui County."

"What? Longshou Shanzi is a Marquis? How old is he?" All the diners in the shop showed surprised expressions.

"You don't care how old he is, he is a child of a fairy, he can write books well, and it's not uncommon to be a Marquis."

"There must be a reason for being a Marquis, right? A saint can't be a Marquis for no reason, right?"

"Reason? The Five Books of Yue Xue. Oh, those five books written by Hou Qingshui. Nowadays, scholars call them the Five Books of Yue Xue. The sage named him Lord Marquis because of the Five Books of Yue Xue."

"Wow, writing a book to seal the title? Scholars are amazing. No, I want my kid to study too."

"It's not that the scholars are great, it's that Qingshui is powerful. Don't you think we have a scholar here? He doesn't look like a scholar, like a hooligan. If my child dares to do this, see if I don't slap him to death."

Immediately, everyone looked at Gan Yuanfeng again, and it was obvious that everyone knew who the rogue scholar he was talking about was.

Gan Yuanfeng couldn't believe what he heard, but he was also ashamed.He didn't have the face to stay any longer, and ran out the door staggeringly.When I walked to the door, I almost tripped over the threshold.

That embarrassing appearance naturally caused everyone to burst into laughter.

But soon everyone left him behind and began to discuss the matter of Yueshan being a Marquis.

There are not a few people like Gan Yuanfeng who question Yueshan.One of the most controversial points is his age. How can a 12-year-old boy write good handwriting, especially such magical things as rhythmic letters.

Even if someone took out the identity of Yueshan's fairy child, they still couldn't convince everyone.Therefore, the theory of plagiarism has also been accepted by many people.This question is becoming more and more popular, and more and more people are discussing it.

Then a sudden imperial decree shocked everyone and blocked the mouths of those who doubted it.

The sage decreed that Yueshan should be enshrined as the Marquis of Qingshui County with the Five Books of Yuexue.

Conferring a Marquis is a big deal, and the court will never confer a title in the name of a book until the court has figured out the truth of the matter.Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be exposed.

So since the imperial court dared to make such a decree, it meant that they had verified that Yue Shan was indeed talented.Most people choose to believe.

Even if some people don't believe it, they dare not question it in public. The imperial decree has been issued. Questioning Yue Shan's ability is tantamount to questioning the prestige of the imperial court.

People who are interested in being in the officialdom will naturally not do such a thing.

And they have another thing to consider.

Although the Marquis and the Viscount are one level behind, their status is vastly different.

The Viscount is a suspension car, with no power or power, and the Marquis is already a top dignitary.Coupled with the emperor's trust, the future can be expected.

The thing to consider now is not to question him, but how to make friends with him.

　Gan Yuanfeng is an important supporting role. Spoiler alert.
