Xiao Lianyi, Chi Yi and Chi Yang, Shen Juan and Mu Yusheng were sitting around the table. They were probably having a good time, and after they had had enough wine and food, they started chatting.
Mainly Xiao Lianyi and Chi Yi were talking, while the others were listening.
The two talked about how they had cheated on each other when they were young, under the nose of the always strict Master Wu, how he taught them a lesson, and how they should arrange a birthday banquet as Taifu Wu's seventieth birthday was approaching.
Taifu Wu has never married, so now he has no children. As apprentices, Xiao Lianyi and Chi Yi naturally have to worry a lot.
So the two of them had actually been discussing how to hold a grand birthday banquet very early and how to make the elderly happy... Now that they have almost bought it, they wanted to ask the young people for their opinions.
The two planned well, but on their birthday, things happened frequently.
…
Taifu Wu was famous in Kyoto, and many people came here to attend Taifu Wu's birthday banquet. Sheng Wenhuai, as Taifu Wu's personally recognized disciple, should naturally come to celebrate.
However, there are not a few students in Kyoto who are dissatisfied with Sheng Wenhuai.
Lu Dingyi is one of them.
Lu Ding looked at Sheng Wenhuai, who was chatting with the guests and calling him brother and sister, and said sarcastically: "I wonder why Taifu Wu suffered from eye disease and accepted a closed disciple like you..."
"I just have a better relationship with them. If you want, I can take you to get to know them." Sheng Wenhuai was not angry when he heard Lu Dingyi's words, and said quietly.
Lu Ding was stunned.
In fact, he has been very introverted since he was a child and has no friends around him with whom he can talk.
He is the only son of the Duke of Guo, and in the future, the rise and fall of the Palace will depend on him alone. Therefore, his parents and husband taught him since he was a child: to abide by etiquette, not to be disobedient, to study hard, and to become a pillar. To serve the country...
In fact, the Duke's Office is not the only one who says and does this. In fact, many dignitaries in Kyoto educate their children in this way.
But, is this all right?
Lu Dingyi doubted these words in his heart.
Don’t you think you can tell your elders when they have done something wrong? Can you serve the country only if you read well?
Therefore, Lu Dingyi really dislikes those young masters from aristocratic families who keep talking about things, but whose status is similar to his. He doesn't talk to them very much, and he doesn't want to make friends.
Until I met Sheng Wenhuai.
Others admire Sheng Wenhuai perhaps because Sheng Wenhuai was born in poverty but became famous in Kyoto for his own strength.
But he is different.
On that day, a debate was held in Kyoto, and countless students wanted to participate.
This was also the first time Lu Dingyi met Sheng Wenhuai.
A man whose clothes are old but can't hide his dignity.
After a great scholar in the literary world said: "Everything is low-grade, only reading is high", Sheng Wenhuai retorted with a smile, he said: Leading troops to fight, protecting the family and the country is "high"; being a peddler and a lackey selling goods is "high"; It is "high" for a brothel beauty to attract customers...
As soon as this was said, the whole place was in an uproar.
Countless people openly and secretly said that Sheng Wenhuai was apostate.
But he felt that Sheng Wenhuai was right.
The two people's views are inexplicably consistent.
Lu Dingyi liked Sheng Wenhuai very much, who was two years younger than him. This was the first time that Lu Dingyi felt like making friends with him.
But just as the last session of the debate was about to begin, Sheng Wenhuai left.
Out of curiosity, he followed Sheng Wenhuai and saw Sheng Wenhuai drugging his opponent's tea.
