In Fufang Garden, golden wings frequently fly in and out.
In the pavilion in the bamboo forest, Yucang sometimes stood up and wandered, sometimes sat silently, waiting all night, waiting for news from all sources.
Dugujing, who was carrying a box, walked out of the bamboo forest and landed directly outside the pavilion. She quickly walked in, "Master!"
Yu Cang looked at the box in his hand, watching him open the box in front of his eyes, revealing a head, and looked sideways at his apprentice, not knowing what he meant.
Dugujing's face was heavy as she took out her head and revealed her full face.
Yu Cang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Lies!"
This head is the killer killed by Niu Youdao. In Xiaoyue Pavilion, he is known as Lianyu, and few people know his real name.
Dugujing put the head back, took out a letter from her sleeve and presented it, "There was an old man outside just now who said someone asked him to deliver it."
Yu Cang grabbed the letter and took out the paper from the envelope. When he opened it, he saw only a few numbers on it: I originally wanted to put my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!
I turned over the envelope and paper and looked at it, but there was no signature on it.
Dugujing: "Maybe Niu Youdao sent it."
Yu Cang had a sullen face, staring at the two lines of words, and there was a vague meaning of 'you forced me' between the lines.
Uh-huh! Holding the letter in her hand, Yu Cang said solemnly: "Strengthen the security of Fufangyuan and be ready to evacuate!"
"Yes!" Just as Dugujing agreed, a person suddenly appeared outside, standing outside the pavilion in the drizzle, cupping his hands and saying, "Master, Bu Xun and Niu Youdao are here."
Both the master and the apprentice in the pavilion were shocked at the same time. Yu Cang asked anxiously: "How many people did Bu Xun bring?"
Disciple outside: "Not many, just six or seven retinues, lightly dressed and traveling in a carriage."
The master and apprentice looked at each other in the pavilion. Yu Cang opened the letter in his hand and read it again. He frowned and kept walking back and forth. He hesitated and said to himself, "See you or not?"
Dugujing said: "Master, if we don't see you, doesn't it mean that we are guilty? Bu Xun is here in person. We can't escape at this time. Once we escape, our identities are confirmed. Niu Youdao has no evidence to prove that the person sent out to intercept and kill They are our people."
"That makes sense!" Yu Cang stopped and nodded, then pointed and ordered: "Let people search the surrounding area. If Bu Xun really wants to cause trouble, he will definitely bring more than these people."
"Yes!" Dugujing accepted the order, took the letter from Yucang's hand, and took away the box at the same time.
Yucang's momentum surged, his eyes were cold, and then he regained his momentum and strode out of the pavilion to greet the visitors.
Walking in the corridor of the courtyard, you can see the eunuch's robe covered in a brocade cloak. Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi are standing in the pavilion corridor to take shelter from the rain. They can't help but have some rain stains on their bodies when they get off the car. Several guards are scattered around.
Returning to this place and seeing the familiar scenery, Guan Fangyi was filled with emotion. This was her home where she had lived for decades.
At the corner of the long corridor, Yu Cang appeared, strode over, cupped his hands in the distance and said with a smile: "General Manager." He couldn't help but glance at Niu Youdao beside him.
Bu Xun bowed and returned the greeting, "Mr. Yucang, I'm so sorry for bothering you again!"
Niu Youdao stared at the visitor with a smile and held his hands in greeting.
"The General Manager's words are serious. If I were not afraid of disturbing the General Manager, I would wish to invite the General Manager here every day." Yu Cang smiled and said politely, nodded to Niu Youdao, and looked at Guan Fangyi. He didn't stand like a retinue, so he asked, "Who is this?"
Bu Xun smiled and said: "The original owner of this garden was the famous Qijing Matchmaker."
"Oh!" Yu Cang laughed loudly and said: "I have admired you for a long time, how can I have such an elegant place to stay in Qijing and be honored by the matchmaker!"
Guan Fangyi was wary and nervous in her heart, but smiled and bowed, "I've met Mr. Yu Cang."
The guests were politely greeted and led by Yu Cang himself to sit in the pavilion.
When the guests were seated, Guan Fangyi stood up behind Niu Youdao. He regarded himself as the following person and did not sit down.
Yucang didn't take the initiative to ask why he was here, and deliberately rambled on. Finally, Niu Youdao accepted the glance from Bu Xun, who was holding a tea cup, and brought the topic to the topic with a smile, "Mr. Yucang, can you please send me your order?" Would you like to invite my nephew to meet you?"
"..." Yu Cang was speechless for a moment, his heart suddenly thumped, he realized something, and asked: "Don't you want to accept students?"
Niu Youdao said, "Now I want to accept it again."
"Well..." Bu Xun, who was slowly sipping the tea, almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He suppressed it forcibly to avoid being embarrassed. He looked at Niu Youdao in shock and found that this man really didn't speak at all. You're welcome, isn't that too direct? Is there anyone who talks like this
Yu Cang's face darkened and he pretended to be unhappy, "Brother, what do you think I am? You can have it if you want it, and you can take it if you don't want it. Isn't it too arrogant?"
Niu Youdao: "To be honest, what I said last time was just a pretext. Poetry is indeed what I am good at. It's just that recruiting students is not a trivial matter. At least it will not teach a good person and it will mislead the students. At worst, the students' own moral character will be bad." The problem is, it’s offensive to the teacher’s reputation. I’m sure Mr. Yu Cang wouldn’t just accept it with his eyes closed when he recruits students without even knowing what kind of situation the students are in.”
"Although I am young, my teachers and students have the same missionary intentions as my husband. They are all well-intentioned and there is absolutely no disrespect. My teacher is famous all over the world. I should be able to understand this and not blame him. After I left Fufang Garden last time, I I set out to inquire about your nephew's character, and found out that your nephew is smart, diligent, studious, and of good character. I feel very relieved. If the student misses out, I will regret it for the rest of my life. So I took the initiative to recruit him shamelessly. I hope that my husband will be successful!"
Yu Cang's cheeks tensed up a little, and he cursed in his heart. Shit is smart, studious, and of good character. He has little contact with the outside world. The shit you heard about is obviously your own evil intentions and nonsense. !
However, everything they said was reasonable, but he had no words to refute.
Guan Fangyi's bright eyes blinked again and again, as if she had guessed Dian Niu Youdao's intention, but she was also confused.
Bu Xun lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, but there was a murmur in his heart. This guy was really good at talking. It was obvious that he had figured it out, regretted it, and wanted to go back to Yucang's relationship, but what he said was true. If he hadn't previously After hearing the truth, I almost believed it.
Yu Cang looked at Bu Xun and asked slowly: "What does the chief manager think?"
Bu Xun put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "I don't have any objection to what you and I wish to do. You two can do whatever you want."
If you have no objection to my love, then why are you here? Yucang's eyes flickered, and his mind went back and forth a thousand times, and finally he said slowly: "That's very good!"
Niu Youdao: "Then please sir, please ask your nephew to come over and see me."
"This matter needs to be informed to my younger siblings. Let me go and inform you first." Yu Cang stood up.
Niu Youdao smiled, "Please!"
After Yu Cang left, Bu Xun said lightly, "With Mr. Yu Cang's relationship, it will be more convenient to walk outside in the future. Congratulations."
Niu Youdao waved his hand and said politely: "Mr. Yucang's younger siblings haven't agreed yet. After all, he is his son. Whether he agrees or not depends on his mother's attitude. It's too early to say congratulations now."
Bu Xun snorted and was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. This matter made it clear that Mr. Yucang could make the decision himself. Otherwise, how could he have spoken to His Majesty the Emperor in the first place? If he couldn't make the decision, he would still speak like that, and even use the school desk to spread the word across the country. Isn't it just making fun of His Majesty to find someone? If Mr. Yu Cang agrees, then there will be no problem.
After waiting for a while, Yucang came back and brought two people with him.
A dazzlingly beautiful woman wearing a jingle ring and a long flowing skirt is a rare beauty.
The other was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with delicate features, fair skin, and a slightly reserved appearance.
Seeing this, not only Niu Youdao but also Bu Xun stood up. He could guess that the woman was Yu Cang's younger brother and sister, how could he be rude.
"This is Bu Xun, the chief internal officer of Qi State, and this is Niu Youdao, a man of exquisite poetry."
Yu Cang did not introduce Guan Fangyi. Ultimately, it was because of Guan Fangyi's reputation that she was not suitable for interacting with women from normal families. Later, she introduced mother and son to Niu Youdao and others.
The woman's name is Zhuang Hong, and the boy's name is Xia Lingpei.
Due to some reasons, Yu Cang was extremely reluctant to let Zhuang Hong show her face, but she had no choice but to accept her son's apprenticeship. How could a mother not come out to express her gratitude
The two parties were polite and polite, and invited Bu Xun to be the witness. Xia's mother and son presented the bundle to Xiu, and Xia Lingpei worshiped Niu Youdao as his teacher.
Afterwards, Niu Youdao announced the canon rules in public and asked Xia Lingpei to serve him closely for three days before taking Xia Lingpei away.
Yucang couldn't let him take people away easily.
If you teach students such rules, it will be hard for others to say anything.
It is not too much to ask students to serve their teachers for three days upon entry. It is natural for students to serve their teachers.
But there is no need to take it away. There is no shortage of courtyards in Fufang Garden, so it is just fine here.
But Niu Youdao said that during these three days, teachers are respected. Students can only have teachers in their eyes and cannot be interfered by other acquaintances at home. This is the sect rule.
Anyway, as long as there are no messy sect rules, he has the final say in whatever the sect rules say.
He turned back and asked Bu Xun if he could provide a courtyard in the hotel outside so that Xia Lingpei could spend the next three days cultivating himself.
Bu Xun would not be stingy about saying no to this kind of thing. As long as there was no objection here, it would be a trivial matter and only a matter of his words.
In this way, under the secret struggle between the two sides, Niu Youdao almost took Xia Lingpei away by force.
Yu Cang wanted to send guards, but Niu Youdao also refused, saying that he had his own dogma and asked this person not to interfere, and he showed that he had his own plans for how to teach the teacher.
Just like that, Fufangyuan watched helplessly as Niu Youdao took the person away.
When the others retreated, Dugujing became a little anxious, "Master, this thief has ulterior motives. How can you agree to let the young master be his student?"
Yu Cang's cheeks twitched, "You think Bu Xun has nothing to do, so you can make two trips for this repeated matter? This thief must have revealed something. Bu Xun must be here to wait and see. What this thief said is reasonable. Bu Xun is watching from the side, how can you force me to refuse with force?"
Dugujing sighed and said urgently: "Then he shouldn't be allowed to take the young master away!"
Yu Cang gritted his teeth and said: "Are you asking me to argue with him over the reasonable disciple rules he made up? What do you think of Bu Xun? Is Bu Xun a fool to be in charge of the school affairs desk? How can you not see the clues? This guy is shameless and arrogant, and it is clear that he wants to expose Bu Xun. I don’t dare to act rashly! Once he is established, and alerts the masters of the three major sects to encircle and suppress him, none of us can even think of leaving here. We may have been targeted now. !”
He knew there was a problem but didn't dare to argue with Niu Youdao. He almost suffered internal injuries just now.
Dugujing stamped her feet and said, "If the young master makes any mistake, how will the master explain it to the old ministers?"
Yu Cang looked up to the sky and sighed: "This beast is indeed difficult to deal with. I regret that I should not have stopped Su Zhao from attacking!"
What I regret even more is that I was talking about becoming a disciple, and I created such a big battle, and I couldn't take it back. Now I have really shot myself in the foot.
