Chapter 180 A Little Bit of Noble Spirit, a Thousand Miles of Refreshing Wind
The Dingbei Marquis Mansion covers a vast area. There are white jade carvings of ancient beasts outside the gate. The white marble stairs extend from the main road to the main gate, and warriors and guards are stationed on both sides.
Ji Chen and Xia Ziran walked up the stairs, stated their identities, and entered.
"Two young masters, please come in!"
"Young Master Wen Zhong is here!"
"Young Master Beigui is here!"
The doorman announced loudly.
Soon, a maid led the two in.
The maid led the way in front, but walked on the edge of the corridor. Ji Chen and Xia Ziran walked side by side in the middle of the corridor.
This is the rule.
When walking with the master, the maid can only walk behind. When leading the guests, the maid cannot walk in the middle.
Ji Chen finally saw what a house is. Pavilions, towers, rockery, small bridges, flowing water, and water diversion to create a lake.
This is not a house. In the previous life, this was a holiday villa, even better than any holiday villa.
Crossing a stone bridge, a group of Confucian scholars appeared in front of us, holding folding fans or swords, reading classics with feather fans, and speaking eloquently.
Daxia attaches great importance to Confucianism, and scholars generally have a high status, especially those who have established their reputation before the age of 20 or 30, which one is not full of vigor and vitality.
"I have died in vain and resurrected. With my Taihao sword, I can wipe out all the demons in the world."
"Go to death with a little noble spirit, and you will be happy for thousands of miles."
Dingbei Hou Mansion is open today. Except for some specific places that cannot be visited, other places can be visited, so many Confucian scholars and students play in the mansion.
This Dingbei Hou Mansion is also a major feature of Liangzhou City.
A Confucian scholar sighed: "This mansion is really magnificent, it is even higher than the academy. No wonder Dingbei Hou was executed. This kind of person has evil intentions!"
In the eyes of Confucian scholars and students, the academy is supreme. Even if most Confucian scholars and students are not from Liangzhou Academy, when they see a building higher than Liangzhou Academy, they naturally stand up for the academy.
Scholars always stand on the side of scholars.
They should be able to argue with each other externally and to attack each other internally. This is what a scholar is.
Xia Ziran found an acquaintance and immediately went to meet him.
"Brother Yunhai, is it Brother Yunhai?"
A young man in white was surprised when he heard this, "Brother Wenzhong, I knew you would come. I just came to Liangzhou City. I should have visited you at the academy because you are busy with your studies and it is not good to disturb you."
The young man in white came to meet him and bowed to Xia Ziran.
Xia Ziran also bowed to the young man in return.
"It's been a while since I last saw you, Brother Wenzhong!"
"Yes, I missed you so much after we last met. Let me introduce you. This is Brother Beigui. This is Brother Lin Yunhai, a disciple of the great scholar Ding Xuehong."
Xia Ziran introduced each other and even introduced Lin Yunhai's teacher.
Confucianism attaches great importance to the inheritance of teachers. If you worship a famous master, you will soon rise to the top. Therefore, you should also mention the master when introducing yourself, otherwise no one will know who you are.
"Beigui, the Ji Beigui who caused a shocking phenomenon in the academy."
Lin Yunhai was surprised. The name of Ji Beigui was almost known to all the scholars in Liangzhou Prefecture, because his words caused a shocking phenomenon, which was recognized by heaven and earth and was considered to be a literary saint.
"It's not worth mentioning. Brother Yunhai, I often hear Brother Wenzhong mention it. I never thought that hearing about it is not as good as meeting it, and meeting it is worse than hearing about it."
Ji Chen's social skills have always been full, but he just doesn't like this kind of commercial flattery.
As soon as he said this, Lin Yunhai was surprised. Am I so famous? Even a hero like Ji Beigui has heard of me in Liangzhou City.
Even Xia Ziran next to him was surprised. When did I mention it?
They got along very happily afterwards. With Ji Chen's social skills and Xia Ziran's introduction, they quickly got to know a group of people, and this group was implicitly led by Xia Ziran and Ji Chen.
Xia Ziran, needless to say, was a student of Dean Yao. He had already established his reputation before he came of age and became a Confucian scholar with a promising future.
Not to mention Ji Chen, who also established his reputation before he came of age and caused a shocking phenomenon. In the eyes of the students of Liangzhou Prefecture, he was definitely a celebrity.
Lin Yunhai said, "Let's go! Let's go in too. It's almost time. I heard that this gathering was initiated by two nobles from the capital."
Another Confucian scholar said, "I got the news that one of the nobles is Xia Liyun, the ninth prince of the current dynasty. Because of the Beihuang monster tribe, he came to Liangzhou City last year. The other one is the granddaughter of the Duke of Guo. It is said that she is the vanguard general of this northern expedition. This gathering is probably for the war. If she likes you, you may have the opportunity to join the army and make great achievements."
Ji Chen already knew Xia Liyun's identity and was not too surprised. However, it was the granddaughter of the Duke of Guo who was the vanguard general of this northern expedition that surprised Ji Chen.
Ji Chen suddenly thought of Xia Ziran and turned his head to look at him. This guy also had the surname Xia and did not avoid his surname. Could it be...
Xia Ziran smiled bitterly, "I'll explain later..."
A group of people entered Chengde Garden, which was also the place for this gathering.
In Chengde Garden, many students and Confucian scholars had gathered, all from all over Beizhou, mainly from Liangzhou Prefecture.
The moment Xia Ziran and Ji Chen entered the courtyard, the Confucian scholars of Liangzhou Prefecture recognized them.
Xia Ziran was dressed in white, with a brocade belt around his waist. In addition, he was a disciple of the great Confucian scholar Yao. In Liangzhou City, almost all Confucian scholars knew him.
Ji Chen was dressed in a green shirt, also with a brocade belt around his waist. He made a speech in the academy, which caused a shocking phenomenon. Ji Chen also became famous in Liangzhou Prefecture, and even the whole Beizhou had heard of his rumors.
Especially on the day of the speech, many people had been to the academy and met Ji Chen, so many Confucian students knew him.
"Who are those two people? They are majestic and seem to have some extraordinary origins." Someone asked.
In a group of people, people will not notice everyone, but they will notice the leader.
Therefore, Ji Chen and Xia Ziran quickly attracted attention.
"I don't even know that the young man in white is Xia Wenzhong, a student of Yao Daru from Liangzhou Academy."
"As for the young man in green, he is Ji Beigui who made a speech in the academy some time ago and caused a shocking phenomenon.
"Ji Beigui, it's him!"
"He's here too!"
Many people who heard Ji Chen's name were curious and surprised.
Scholars are also divided into factions. The most common one is the division between major academies. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. When students from different academies meet, there will be a lot of quarrels.
The fight between scholars cannot be called a fight; it is called a literary debate.
Swearing among scholars can't be called cursing, it's called greeting your whole family.
The people in this courtyard are also divided into several waves, with distinct distinctions.
Suddenly, Ji Chen felt some unkind eyes from the crowd falling on him.
Ji Chen's perception was so powerful that he found that person from the crowd almost instantly.
It was a pale-faced young man, surrounded by a group of Confucian scholars.
"Who is that person?" Ji Chen asked.
Xia Ziran followed Ji Chen's gaze and recognized the man.
"That is the son of the prince, his name is Xu Chengwei, and he is also a student of the academy. His qualifications are okay, but his character is not that good."
"Why are you asking about him suddenly?"
