Chapter 93 Long and Short School

Gu Yun came down from the third floor and quickly walked straight to Xu You. He ignored the prominent identity of the prefect of Wu County. In the collective surprised eyes, he grabbed Xu You's hand and said excitedly: "Looking at the sun and moon, I think about it. I'm fine, how can I be safe?"

Xu You felt his sincerity, how could he not be moved? He used a little force on his hand and responded to him with a poem from "The Book of Songs? The Majestic Pheasant", saying: "The clouds of Tao are far away, how can the clouds come? Feiqing, I haven't seen you for many days, you have lost your weight!"

Gu Yun held his hand and turned to walk upstairs, saying, "The affairs are broken and I can't get out of here. I really envy Weizhi's leisurely life in Jingyuan."

When others say this, they are so good at being cheap and being good at being able to be the prefect of a county in their early twenties, and their future is more than limitless. They are willing to die of exhaustion. But it was indeed his true thoughts. If it weren’t for planning for the future of the family and having to become an official, he would rather stay in the manor all day long and live a hermit life as an idle cloud and wild crane, write paintings and chant poems every day, and travel with friends, how happy it would be?

"Who is this person?"

"You don't even know Gu Fujun, Wujun?"

"Ah? It's Gu Feiqing? When I saw him today, he was as handsome as the rumored one!"

The people on the first floor whispered, and all looked at Gu Yun and Xu You back and forth. Because Xu You was unknown, his eyes were even longer on him than Gu Yun.

The man who had said in Fang Heting that Xu You's demeanor was still above Zhang Mo was a little proud. He touched the shoulder of the person next to him and said, "What do I think? How can someone who can make friends with Gu Fujun be ordinary? It's better than Zhang Mo, and it's reasonable!"

The people around him were scolded by him just now, and they were dissatisfied with each other and had been entangled for a long time. The evidence was conclusive and they were powerless to refute, so they had to give up the disadvantage and said 54: "I didn't expect that your eyesight was so powerful! Why don't you help me see if the Yaji can be selected for this time, and how many of the products..."

"You, I guess you're going to leave it to fate!"

"Hmph, I don't believe it!"

The two started arguing again, but they spoke in a low voice and did not attract other people's attention. Hu Xin stood beside the two, staring blankly at Gu Yun and Xu You so intimately, his face turned pale. He didn't know whether it was disappointment or panic in his heart, but he was ups and downs for a moment, and even his breathing was about to stop.

Although Xu You touched him twice, Hu Xin never took him to heart.

Hearing the movement downstairs, many people walked out of the second and third floors, surrounded the railings, and asked, "Whose young man from that family is that he is intimate with Gu Yun?"

"I don't recognize you, I look like a naughty face."

"The Yangzhou surnames, who are going to the appointment today, are probably on the second and third floors. How could they go to the first floor?"

"Is it Zhang Mo?"

"Maybe, Zhang Mo should have been on the third floor, but somehow he hasn't appeared yet. It's reasonable for Gu Mingfu to find him."

Just as everyone was speculating about Xu You's identity, they walked from the third floor to the second floor staircase, stood with their hands behind their backs, blocking the way Gu Yun and Xu You.

"Let's wait!"

"Yu Anren, what are you doing?"

The person blocking the way was named Yu Gong, whose courtesy name was Anren. He heard Gu Yun's displeasure and bowed his hand slowly and said, "Brother Gu, is this Yixing Xu You who you have always missed?"

Gu Yun was about to answer, but Xu You stood up and smiled and said, "I am here in Qiantang. I wonder what you have to do with Mr. Yu?"

Yu Gong shook his sleeves, and he didn't even look at Xu You, and said coldly: "Yaji is a place where the gentry sings with peace. When will the common people be allowed to come in?"

Gu Yun invited Xu You just wanted to make him famous. Unexpectedly, before he could climb to the third floor to see Zhang Zihua, he was humiliated by Yu Gong in the middle of the way. He has always been open-minded. If he targeted him personally, he would only laugh it off. But in this way, Xu You immediately became angry and said, "Yu Gong, Wei Zhi is my friend. If you insult him, you will insult me! But think about it carefully!"

Yu Gong laughed loudly and said, "Brother Gu is such a great official power! When he was the county magistrate in Qiantang, He Zheng easily lost his official position and also eliminated your biggest opponent in the career. Now he is in the honor and favor of the four families of Kuaiji, and has gotten what he wants and has been promoted to the prefect of Wujun. Who dares to insult you? Well, who dares to offend you? You guys, right?"

"Yes, Gu Taishou is a person who wants to be the prime minister. Who dares to provoke you?"

The word "poor family" is very useful. When a high-ranking family is humble, you can say that you are a poor family. When others scold a high-ranking family, you can also say that the other party is a poor family. Sometimes it is a positive meaning and sometimes a negative meaning. The wonderful use lies in one's heart.

Gu Yun looked out and said the person. Just as he was about to speak, Xu You grabbed him and shook his head slightly. The situation today was obviously arranged by the other party. Maybe there was something behind the scenes later. It was impossible to let Gu Yun stand up now.

Behind Gu Yun was Gu, the prefect of Wujun, and the convener of Qiantang Lake Yaji. He had a noble status and a respectable status. He fought against these small characters, regardless of winning or losing, and lost three points in momentum.

The most important thing is that Xu You knows Gu Yun very well, and has both excellent calligraphy and painting, and has a strong character. If you talk about talent and knowledge, you will naturally not be afraid of anyone, but if you talk about arguments, it will be much worse.

Because sometimes, debate is not limited to knowledge and thinking, but rather to show off your verbal advantage, generalize with a single point, grasp the flaw in the other party's words, and chase and fight until you are completely victorious!

The debates on the Internet in later generations are probably like this!

Xu You asked in a low voice: "Who is this person?"

"The Prince of Donghai!"

In order to participate in the Ya Ji, Xu You learned from He Ru and Lu Shuang and made up for the clan story. He finally had a general concept of most of the gentry and celebrities in the Chu State, so he would not have a joke that he would not be indifferent and would not make a joke about the true face of Lushan.

"The Wang family of Donghai County, compared with the four surnames of Wu County, is a poor family. It would be fine if you can stay on the second floor and secretly be happy, but you dare to act blindly, which makes your family shame."

Xu You spoke like a knife, and others burst into laughter. The man was ashamed and quietly retreated into the room and refused to come out. Another person said, "The King of Donghai cannot get into Gu Fujun's eyes, so what about me, Yuyao Kong family?"

Xu You glanced at him lightly and said, "The nine sons of Yuyao, Kong Chengjun is the leader, and the rest are insignificant! Who are you? Let's sign up!"

There is a Jiuzi Society in Yuyao, and the leader is Kong Xiang. He is currently a military officer in the General's Mansion in Zhendong, and is as famous as Lu Xu, the first talent of the Three Wus. Xu You concluded that this person would not be Kong Xiang. He used the title of Jiuzi of Yuyao to suppress him and see how he answered!

"I..." This man was indeed hesitant and could not speak. In the eyes of the public, even his ears were red.

Zhang Mo stayed downstairs and looked up at the face of this man. It was Kong Rui from Zhuji Qingge Club. Unexpectedly, he also came to today's Yaji. He felt a pity in his heart that although Kong Rui was arrogant, he had always treated him well and had also helped him a lot. When the Qingge Club was joined, he had disagreements with others and left halfway. The two of them had never met each other again, and they were quite owed to each other. Today, Kong Rui was so embarrassed that he was defeated by Xu You's words. It was almost impossible to make a final decision.

The collection of elegant songs is not simply a poem and a song. It is common for a banquet to argue with each other. There will be a victory or defeat. Winning is certainly a favorable one, but it is actually irrelevant to lose. However, the urgent wisdom, ingenuity, talent, and demeanor revealed in the debate are the basis and foundation for Dazhongzheng to appreciate talents. Kong Rui took the lead, but it was not the enemy of Xu You. After defeating, he was at a loss and lost his demeanor. This trip to Qiantang was probably only a spectator.

"I am not as good as Kong Jun, but I...I..."

Kong Rui was unwilling to accept his family and was about to report himself, but then he thought, wouldn't this be exactly what Xu You thought? Because he was still a little self-aware, most of the talented men in Yangzhou gathered here, and there would never be too many people who knew his name. At this time, he said that the name was just a humiliation.

Xu You smiled slightly and said, "Oh, this man is embarrassed and is sluggish. He is still waiting for his words. He looks delicate. Others may think that he is the Kong girl!"

The eyes of the gaze were projecting on Kong Rui's face, so red that it was almost bleeding. It was indeed like a shy woman, and it immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Kong Rui was ashamed and angry, his chest was holding his breath, as if he was about to explode, and he said angrily: "What are you, and you deserve to talk to me. Gu Yun, you are the prefect, just sit back and watch him insult others at will?"

"People will insult themselves, and then others will insult them! If you have confidence in yourself, why don't you even dare to say your name? But the fox is a tiger's power, and the snake is accumulating with the fog, and it will make you famous by relying on the reputation of the Kong clan of Yuyao. Such a despicable villain is worthy of talking to me?"

Gu Yun and Xu You stood side by side, expressing their attitude and position. Even when facing the entire rainy building, they would never give in and take a step back.

Xu You had never seen Gu Yun like this before, being unrestrained and repaid his grievances with straightforwardness. From his eyes to his limbs, he was full of vigorous fighting spirit, as if hens protecting the chickens. Faced with the dangers surrounding him, he spread his wide wings and protected the chickens firmly under his wings.

His heart suddenly felt a little moved!

Kong Rui no longer stood outside and hid in the room like Wang Tu. The two of them were damaged by Xu You, and no one dared to come forward to support Yu Gong. Yu Gong changed color and said, "It is said that Gu Feiqing is special to Hongya. When he saw him today, he realized that the rumors should not be trusted!"

"The three of them become tigers, and rumors have never been trusted!" Xu You smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, have you not even read "The Strategies of the Warring States"?"

The allusion of three people becoming tigers comes from "The Strategies of the Warring States". Yu Gong retorted and said, "The Strategies of the Warring States are not trusting history. They are not trustworthy and have no faith in the end. They are a book that rebels from the scriptures and deviates from the Tao! Only those who like to read and do not seek to understand the truth will regard the remarks in the Warring States Policy as the way, and use this to harm people's minds and harm the family and country."

He sneered and said, "But I never thought that you, like a martial artist, are actually from the long and short sects!"

"The Strategies of the Warring States" have always been despised by Confucianism because of "donating rituals and giving up wars, and abandoning benevolence and righteousness and using fraud", but this despisation has also developed with the development of the times and is not unchanging. For example, at present, people at that time valued over the famous teachings and took nature, and Confucianism was in a weak situation, so a trend of counter-cases for the Strategies of the Warring States has emerged, and the most influential one was Yuan Huai of the Yuan family.

Yuan was a Confucian scholar in the north and south, but the abnormality of Yuan Huai came from inside the sect. This son openly declared: "When he was a young man, he reads "The Analects of Confucius" and "Laozi" and "The Book of Changes". These are all diseases and pains, so what should be beneficial to evil! The world's important things are "The Plan of the Warring States"!" He believed that Laozi, Zhuang, Confucius and Mencius like to say some small things that are not painful and itchy, and there is no benefit. The most important book in the world is "The Plan of the Warring States".

This kind of extreme remark has a big market in the State of Chu. Many scholars look forward to the scenery, abandon Confucian benevolence, righteousness and morality, take power as the basis of all things, and take the current situation as the best of everything, and respect plans and value profits. This has formed a school that cannot be ignored. It is called the school of long and short, also known as the new paradise!

When Yu Gong heard Xu You mention "The Strategies of the Warring States", he immediately connected him with the Long and Short Sects. In addition, Xu You once married the Yuan family, which further confirmed this speculation. When the rain was raining, the building was silent, some were panicked, some were despised, some were eager to try, wanting to argue with the legendary Long and Short Sects, some were full of disgust, ashamed of living under the same roof.

No matter what others think, Xu You keenly feels that this is the first crisis he encountered since he entered Yushilou!
