Xunzi's response was a bit special. It was not an outright veto that Yan Lu was not allowed to go to XY, but that he was not allowed to go to XY privately.
This answer made Fu Nian's eyelids tremble, but before he could speak, Xunzi asked again:
"Can't we let someone else handle this matter?"
"Junior brother said no, he must go in person." Fu Nian shook his head slightly, "I originally wanted to find a stable junior brother to take Junior Brother Yan Lu to XY in the name of visiting Dr. Chunyu, but Senior Uncle, you said...
”
Chun Yuyue's seniority is not high. He is the same generation as Fu Nian and a few years older. However, he is still quite famous. He is relatively unknown among the Seven Kingdoms. However, this guy is a relatively traditional Confucian scholar. The main principle in life is self-denial.
The most passionate thing about restoring rituals is to follow the footsteps of the sage Confucius - in other words, to restore the Zhou ritual system and reverse this era of collapse of rituals and music.
Of course, no one in power would use him to govern the country, so the main job he did all year round coincided with what Confucius was most famous for, which was to teach students, but most of them were elementary school, teaching some princes and nobles how to read and write, etc.
of.
Xiaoshengxian Village sent two disciples to visit him. It can't be said to be unexpected. The question is...it's hard to say whether it counts as private.
Fu Nian was a little unsure as to what his uncle meant by 'privately'.
Xunzi quickly gave the answer, "No, your plan won't work."
Whether he said privately or not actually depends on the reaction of the Qin court. To be more specific...if Yan Lu is attacked, will Qin officials take action to protect him? Visiting Chun Yuyue is obviously private.
Yes, it is impossible for King Qin to protect Yan Lu specially.
"If you want to go, you must find a more official excuse."
Fu Nian's already stern face became even stiffer, "Going to XY...I'm afraid it's not easy for such reasons..."
Xunzi had no intention of helping the younger generation solve their problems. He caressed his beard and said leisurely, "As the head of the Little Sage Village, it's not okay to be stumped by this little trouble. Let's think about it carefully."
"Did Zilu say whether this matter is urgent and must be done as soon as possible?"
"That's not true. Junior Brother Yan Lu only said that he wanted to go as soon as possible, but it doesn't have to be a rush."
"That's okay, you still have a lot of time to think of a solution." Xunzi was not in a hurry and looked more relaxed.
If Yan Lu had to go to XY as soon as possible, he would have to let go of his old face and rely on relationships. Since there was no rush... then let Fu Nian have the headache. After all, he was the leader, and he was just a person who should be taken care of.
Year old man.
In this regard, Fu Nian said: "..."
Although it is one's own responsibility, Uncle Master's demeanor makes people inexplicably... unhappy...
But Fu Nian didn't say anything, stood up and said goodbye.
Regarding the details of the meeting between Gu Xun and Yan Lu during the day, he did not tell, and Xunzi did not ask.
Xunzi knew very well that since his nephew didn't tell him, it meant that Yan Lu didn't tell him anything at all later, so he didn't say anything if he didn't have anything to say.
Fu Nian also knew that his uncle knew that he didn't know anything without asking.
The uncle and nephew still have this kind of tacit understanding.
However, as far as this matter is concerned, Xunzi is not very worried that Gu Xun will be detrimental to Yan Lu. It is not that he recognizes Gu Xun's character, but that he believes that his disciple is neither good nor too good.
The friendship between Gu Xun and Han Fei made Xunzi believe that the other party was most likely not someone who would do evil things to a half-year-old child like Yan Lu.
After all, this and Canglong Qisu are two different things. Although Xunzi would guard against Gu Xun in the latter, the pursuit of Canglong Qisu itself cannot be said to be good or evil, especially for those who do not know the details, but the former is different.
………………
Gu Xun and Yan Lingji did not stay in Songhai for a particularly long time, but they left after five or six days.
The reason why I stay these few days is to wait for the meal of shark's fin and bear's paw, the vast sea reflects the Taiyuan Mountains, and the shark's fin cooks the bear's paw. This is the theme that Fu Nian personally created for Haiyue Xiao, and it has basically become a major symbol of Songhai.
, you can’t not taste it.
It's a pity that he really got it in his mouth. Gu Xun thought...that's it.
Shark's fin and bear's paw are the top ingredients. Haiyue Xiaozhu does not use ordinary shark's fin and bear's paw, so the chef's cooking process is also very simple, trying to ensure the original taste of the ingredients, which is very consistent with Shandong cuisine.
The characteristics are mainly salty and fresh.
But for Gu Xun, it's a bit dull. He still prefers Sichuan cuisine, and Yan Lingji's taste is a bit heavier than him... Anyway, overall, it's a good dish, with SH scenery.
Tianguang, it was still an unsatisfactory dining experience.
By the way, Gu Xun can clearly feel that the cook at Haiyue Xiaozhu is not as good as the cook.
So after that, Gu Xun actually invited Chef Ding several times, hoping that he could go to XY, but he was rejected by Chef Ding in a cold sweat - he was afraid that Gu Xun would be rejected repeatedly, and he would be annoyed, so he would forcefully tie himself to XY, or even directly
Kill this dishonest cook.
Fortunately, Gu Xun's temper is not that bad, but every time he is rejected, he will find some opportunities to scare him by saying specious things.
I can't say that it has no impact on Cook Ding, because he is so uneasy that he hasn't had a good rest these days, and he often sweats and feels like he's lost a layer of fat...
For this reason, on the day Gu Xun left, Chef Ding came specially to say goodbye, and he acted very sincerely, with unstoppable... happiness in his eyes - this man is gone, and I won't leave until now.
Fat people are almost scared out of their wits.
………………
"It seems that the cook has been quite frightened by you these days." Even Yan Lingji could clearly see Fatty Ding's strange behavior. After thinking about it for a while, she understood what the other party was thinking, and couldn't help but smile and talk to Gu.
Looking for a joke.
"It's because he has something in his heart. Otherwise, what's there to be afraid of?" Gu Xun naturally refused to admit his prank and denied it.
Of course, what he said is not wrong. In the final analysis, Cook Ding's abnormal reaction was due to his special status as an intelligence officer. It is not the fault of others... So is it not good to just be a cook?
"Hehe, I guess you are right." Yan Lingji in the carriage responded with a sweet smile. She didn't care what happened to the cook anyway, and then asked about other things, "By the way, shopkeeper, what did you collect earlier?"
Who sent the letter that arrived?"
"Obviously, it's Mo Crow." Gu Xun sat on the carriage and replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Is there anyone else who can send a message bird to me?"
"Hey, of course I know it was Mo Ya who asked Bai Feng to pass it on, but it's hard to say who wrote it to you specifically." Yan Lingji curled her lips and refuted Gu Xun's statement.
"Well...it was written by Mo Ya." Gu Xun waved his riding crop gently and replied softly, "XY has some trivial matters that he feels he needs to tell me."
