Fang Yun took the invitation and found nothing special. Like the previous invitation to the conference, it was obviously not arranged by Li Wenying.

Feng Zimo, the gentleman of the mansion, said, "since Lord Li invited you, it must have deep meaning."

Yu Xingshu said, "based on my understanding of Lord Li, the word 'try our best' is not his original intention. If Lord li really wants you to go, he will directly invite you, and I'm afraid he asked his entourage to say so because he was entrusted by others."

Fang Yun said, "since Lord Li values it so much, go and have a look. However, Lord Li only said I would go, not let me participate in the dragon boat race, right?"

Everyone was stunned. Feng Zimo said with a smile, "you're smart. However, the color head of the dragon boat race has always been not small. It's even getting bigger and bigger these years. You'd better participate."

"What color can you have?"

"In the past, the two countries each produced a cultural treasure as a color head, and Lord Li added a piece of dragon blood ink this year. Naturally, Qingguo did not show weakness. He even took out a" mountain chessboard "and shouted that Lord Li was stingy and asked yuhaicheng to take out more treasures as a color head."

"Mountain and river chessboard? They are really willing." Fang Yun said.

The material of the mountain chessboard is a rare stone in Qingguo. The stripes on the stone have the geographical trend of mountains and rivers, and they have no magical power. Once it is made into a written treasure chessboard, once the chess game is launched, it can turn a mountain and river to trap the enemy.

Go Wen Bao is quite special. The chessboard, sunspot and white son each become a Wen Bao. The three in one is a complete go Wen Bao. It's useless to take it out alone.

In the hands of ordinary chess players, the power of a set of go Wen Bao is not much different from that of an ordinary Wen Bao. In the hands of experts who are proficient in go, a set of go Wen Bao can play several times its power.

However, go, like Danqing and zither, requires years of learning and practice, and will spend a lot of time and energy. Unless someone is very talented in this regard, it's better to learn the holy classics.

Qingguo can only produce four or five qualified mountain and river chessboards a year. Even refining into Hanlin Wenbao is not a waste, and its value is much higher than a dragon blood ink ingot.

"Are you interested?" Feng Zimo said.

Fang Yun said, "before I practice calligraphy to the fifth level, I won't study piano, chess and painting deeply. It's OK to have a try occasionally when I'm relaxed. That mountain chessboard is of no great use to me."

"That's not necessarily true. You've shown your talent. Maybe you can make achievements with a little effort in piano and chess. You can't keep a good piano and chess treasure in the future."

"Maybe it's possible." Fang Yun didn't say anything. The main reason is that there are too many things in the library. As long as they can enhance the strength of the Terran, they can be used. Maybe they can be of great use.

General Yu said, "the mountain chessboard is useless. You can exchange it for other useful things. It is still possible to exchange it for a Jinshi Wen Bao."

"This month, I want to prepare for the exam at ease." Fang Yun said reluctantly that he wanted to go to the book mountain too much. Only if he won the literary heart, his strength would be qualitatively improved. Otherwise, it would be difficult to be alone before he had no words.

Yu Xingshu nodded and said, "OK. After you enter the book mountain, you must strive forward. The higher you climb, the greater the benefits of our country!"

"Oh? I don't know. What's the advantage?" Fang Yun asked.

Yu Xingshu glanced at the crowd. Except Feng Zimo, all the people around him left knowingly.

"After the imperial examination, the top ten scholars of each government of the ten countries will enter the book mountain. The scholar of which country climbs the highest Book Mountain represents the prosperity of education in which country. The holy courtyard will reward holy pages, longevity fruits or living fruits. It's nothing when the scholar climbs the book mountain. When the whole people climb the book mountain, it is said that the semi saints of the ten countries will pay attention to it. Because the person who can climb the mountain is bound to become a scholar The pillars of our Terran family have great potential. Generally speaking, the four talents of each generation will emerge when they ascend the book mountain and gradually become famous all over the world. "

"I see." Fang Yun said.

Yu Xingshu said solemnly, "the holy way is extremely difficult! The human race should compete with the demon barbarians, and people should also compete for the holy page Wenbao, so that you will not be killed by the foreign enemies of the demon barbarians; you should compete for the Holy Land qualification, so that you will grow faster than others; the most important and cruel thing is the struggle for the concept of holy way. For example, your three character classic has offended Xunzi family."

"Ah? I see." Fang Yun was stunned and immediately reacted.

The opening of the Three Character Classic is "at the beginning of man, nature is good", and the second sage Xunzi is the founder of the "theory of evil nature". This "theory of evil nature" does not mean that man must be evil, but that man is born with evil side, which is natural.

But Mencius believed that people were born with compassion, shame, resignation and right and wrong, that is, people are good and born good, so they are regarded as the originator of the theory of good nature.

As a result, the Mencius family and Xunzi family have been in opposition for hundreds of years and have been unable to reconcile.

Xunzi disciples didn't even accept the idea of Yasheng Mencius. If they had a chance in the future, they would naturally suppress Fang Yun.

Fang Yun also knows that there are also conceptual conflicts within each family. For example, although Han Feizi family and Li Si family are both Legalists, they still have a feud because of Han Feizi and Li Si's struggle for power. Some new saints also have private hatred and national hatred.

Fang Yun sighed, because Xunzi family is in Qingguo, and Jingguo and Qingguo have always been at odds, Xunzi family will spare no effort to suppress him.

Feng Zimo comforted: "the Xunzi family is not strong in Jingguo. As long as they don't leave Jingguo, they can't take you."

"I hope so," Fang Yun said.

Yu Xingshu asked, "if Xunzi family sent someone to scold you, what should you do? Yield or escape?"

Fang Yun thought for a moment and replied firmly, "I will neither yield nor escape. No one can stop my holy way! Not even the Yasheng family!"

"Good!" Yu Xingshu and Feng Zimo smiled at each other.

It was late at night, and the three were no longer talkative. Feng Zimo and several others left, while Fang Yun's family stayed in Dinghai general's house.

Early in the morning, Fang Yun had breakfast with Yang Yuhuan and Yu's family, then got on a cattle cart and went to the house prepared for him under the escort of a team of soldiers.

After successfully arriving, the family began to get busy. The State Army also let two innocent and experienced veterans be Fang Yun's entourage to protect Fang Yun closely.

The new fangfu is a courtyard with two entrances, one less than the previous Dayuan mansion, but it is also enough.

Before lunch, Fang Yun sent Fang Daniu to buy some high-end four treasures of study gifts and visited pangju's family next door on the right. They didn't break their identity. They just talked like ordinary neighbors for half an hour, but they said something to each other openly and secretly to reassure each other. Fang Yun also expressed full gratitude.

In the afternoon, Fang Shouye sent someone to invite Fang Yun to his house for a simple meal. Since it was invited by his uncle, Fang Yun had to leave.

Before going to Fang Shouye's place, Fang Yun paid a visit to the left neighbor's general Lai, who was very enthusiastic and wanted to stay for dinner. When he learned that Fang Yun was going to Fang Shouye's place, he regretted that he would not stay any longer.

Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan took a carriage to the South Vice City and arrived at Fang Shouye's general's house at 6:00 p.m.

This place is far inferior to the Fang family style of Dayuan mansion. Like Fang Yun's new house, it is an ordinary two entry house. It doesn't use the slightest sense of luxury. Instead, it shows an iron blood breath of soldiers. It's not so much a house as a fortress.

Fang Yun nodded slightly when he saw the porter and said, "I'm Fang Yun. Please inform me."

The porter looked happy and shouted inside, "master Yun is coming!" then hurriedly asked Fang Yun to go in and lead the way for Fang Yun.

Fang Yun followed him inward. When he entered the yard the second time, he saw four people in civilian clothes but with military temperament coming out to meet him in the main hall. Behind the four people, there was a beautiful young woman.

Fang Yun only knew Fang Shouye, and vaguely guessed that the young woman was Fang Shouye's concubine here.

"Smelly boy, you've enjoyed a lot of scenery recently! I don't have this treatment when you come to Yuhai in a flying leaf empty boat!" Fang Shouye punched Fang Yun on the shoulder. It's useless to have any strength. He almost treats Fang Yun as a comrade in arms in the army.

"Fang Yun has seen your uncles and aunts." Fang Yun immediately arched his hands, while Yang Yuhuan didn't speak. He just put his hands on his belly and bent his knees slightly.

Fang Shouye and four other men received the gift from Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan, while aunt Fang, like Yang Yuhuan, bent her knees slightly and didn't say a word.

Fang Yun is not used to being saluted by his elders. Even if the other party is a concubine, he still can't adapt to some concepts of this era. However, now he puts everything in his heart, but an idea in his heart is becoming stronger and stronger, and even vaguely feels that it is a huge opportunity. Once he holds it, his future achievements will be unlimited.

"Let me introduce you!" Fang Shouye hugged Fang Yun's shoulder and introduced three people to Fang Yun one by one. His words and deeds were not like scholars, but full of the masculinity and directness of soldiers. Once accepted, people felt close.

After they knew each other, they went into the house to eat and drink.

Fang Shouye likes to talk and laugh. He keeps talking. When the meal is almost finished, the three generals leave, and aunt Fang calls Yang Yuhuan away, saying that she is giving her some jewelry. Only uncles and nephews are left at the dinner table.

Fang Yunxin knew that the three came here to meet each other first and would not talk deeply. In the future, they would gradually deepen their relationship. Now, it is time for uncle and nephew to talk about business.

Fang Shouye took a deep breath and the drunkenness in his eyes immediately eased.

"Yuhai city is safe, but not necessarily comfortable." Fang Shouye looked at Fang Yun and said in a deep voice.

"Ask Uncle for advice."

"Do you know what gossip I heard?"

Fang Yun shook his head.

"Have you heard of Tong chengling?"

"Of course, the Minister of the Ministry of war, an imperial scholar." Fang Yun said.

"His eldest grandson, Tong Li, is in Yuhai, and he took part in this year's government examination. He has said that he must win the first place among scholars and become a 'maocai'." Fang Shouye looked at Fang Yun.
