Everyone walked out of the door one after another, watching Fang Yun, Fu Yue and Ao Huang fly into the sky and disappear into the night.
Not far away, a man from Ji County pointed to the sky and shouted, "Look, there are people flying in the sky."
"What's the big deal? If you become a university scholar, you can fly. There are many university scholars and great scholars in Ji County."
"Next to that man, there seemed to be a dragon and a turtle."
"That's amazing. I wonder which adult just left Ji County."
"Why are all the Ge family members out? No one is going to Xiao Mao's wedding. It's quite pitiful. There are empty tables on the street."
"The groom must be Ge Xiaomao, right? Others received gold and jade at their weddings, but he only got broken bones and bowls."
"The Ge family is good, it's a pity. The girl from the Sheng family is also good, but the eldest lady of the Sheng family is notoriously difficult to deal with."
"The Ge family is good, but I heard from the Sheng family that the Ge family always likes to brag about their relationship with Fang Xusheng. To put it bluntly, who in Ji County doesn't have a relationship with the Fang family? I don't see anyone talking about it every day."
"I heard that the Ge family was able to marry the daughter of the Sheng family by boasting about their relationship with Fang Xusheng. What ability does Ge Xiaomao have? If he didn't claim to be Fang Xusheng's classmate, could he have married the daughter of the Sheng family?"
"Why did I hear that the Sheng family wanted to curry favor with Fang Xusheng and that's why they hired Ge Xiaomao?"
"We can't explain this kind of thing clearly. Anyway, I haven't heard the Ge family talk about Fang Xusheng. The Ge family came when I got married. This time I gave fifty coins in advance. As for the banquet, I just finished eating outside Wenyuan Street and didn't go to the Ge family."
The people nearby watched from afar as the Ge family members returned to the yard, and looked at the empty tables, chairs, benches and food outside the Ge family's door, and shook their heads slightly.
However, gradually, the neighbors nearby discovered that the number of people entering the Ge family suddenly increased, and they were all scholars, and almost all of them carried large and small packages of things.
"Look, a Hanlin is here!"
"I have seen that person before. He is Tang Hanlin from Dayuan Prefecture. He usually practices by the Wudao River. Why did he come to the Ge family?"
"Oh, I've met an important person. Look at that person, he's wearing a dragon robe from the Wu Kingdom. He must be a prince or a duke at least!"
"Why is the county magistrate here?"
"Just now the place outside the Ge family's door was empty, so I went back to drink a pot of tea. Why is it that now the place outside is almost full?"
"No, something big happened in the Ge family. It will be too late if we don't go now!"
"Hurry up, go home and get some bacon and liquor, and go see what happened to the Ge family!"
Neighbors nearby quickly rushed to the Ge family.
The Ge family compound was filled with distinguished guests.
As the neighbors entered the house, they saw a dazzling array of official uniforms, scholars and juren everywhere, and even quite a few jinshi and hanlin scholars. It seemed that all the big shots who practiced by the Wudao River had flocked to the Ge family.
The Ge family's yard is not big, and there are not many tables, but now there are sixteen tables densely packed together, with only two people's space between each table. If anyone wants to pass through, the people sitting there have to stand up.
Then I saw several scholars walking to the east wall, and Lu Ban rulers flew out. Rays of light fell on the stone wall, and the stones flew out automatically and landed in the distance.
Afterwards, the Ge family’s eastern neighbors helped to set up the table and put out the stools with a smile, while the workers and scholars dismantled the west wall.
The three courtyards were connected and soon filled with banquets.
"Oh! Isn't that the owner of Wanjialou, the largest restaurant in Ji County? Why is he personally directing his subordinates to work here? Doesn't he want to do business anymore?"
A group of old neighbors, relying on their familiarity with the Ge family, occupied two tables in the yard. They sat there without eating, but just kept looking at them. The more they looked, the more frightened they became.
"Look, why are all those things that Ge Xiaomao was holding placed on the altar in the main hall? Those precious gold, silver and jewelry were thrown aside."
"Don't talk yet, listen to what the scholars nearby are saying."
Soon, the neighbors of the Ge family heard the shocking news that Fang Xusheng actually came in person to congratulate Ge Xiaomao on his wedding!
These people hurriedly asked the scholars around them, and only then did they know that the person flying in the sky before was Fang Xusheng.
The Ge family neighbors at the two tables gathered together and sighed.
"If I had known Fang Xusheng would come, I would have come to the Ge family earlier no matter what!"
"Alas! The current Fang Xu Sheng is different from the past. The current Fang Xu Sheng is simply the son of Wenquxing. Even if you bring your child to see him, the imperial examination will go smoothly!"
"Of course. The reason why our Ji County has become a major county for the imperial examinations in recent years is all due to Fang Xusheng's efforts. And Ning'an County has become the number one county in the imperial examinations in Jingguo!"
"However, we are lucky that we didn't see Fang Xusheng, but we can still share in the joy!"
"Tsk tsk, the Holy Father Fang Xu is here, Ge Xiaomao is so honored!"
"I heard that the Sheng family bullied the Ge family so badly that now they are all stupid and sitting there, and no one is going to toast them."
"Just now I was wondering why no one went to the Sheng family. Looking at the faces of the Sheng family, those who knew it was a wedding banquet thought it was a funeral. The wife of the Sheng family, who is usually very fierce, was wiping tears today."
"I guess Fang Xusheng didn't want to come. After all, the Fang family had weddings and funerals before, and he didn't come back. It's just that he heard that Ge Xiaomao was bullied by the Sheng family, so he thought of their friendship and came back to put a stop to the arrogance of the Sheng family!"
"It's possible! Fang Xusheng is telling everyone in Ji County that his friends must not be bullied! Fortunately, the Sheng family hasn't done anything to harm anyone. If Ge Xiaomao was really hurt, Fang Xusheng would probably ride a dragon and kill the entire clan with his sword. He has killed hundreds of millions of demons and barbarians, so the Sheng family is nothing!"
"Alas, why couldn't I have a good relationship with Fang Xusheng back then! When Fang Xusheng was the poorest, I wanted to give his family some rice and flour, but my family was not rich at the time, so I didn't help. Those who helped Fang Yun back then, every New Year, cartloads of goods were sent to their homes. Gold, silver, and jewelry were there every year. We have never seen many rare things, but they were as if they were free! Those crabs as big as basins and prawns as long as arms, who among us has ever eaten them!"
"Yes, those families are not considered prominent families yet, but their wealth has surpassed many prominent families. Look at the furnishings in their homes. A random vase is worth a house. If they run out of money one day, they can just pick up something and sell it, and it will be enough to support them for several years."
"Purple clothes? Am I seeing things?"
Everyone immediately looked towards the door, and the whole yard fell silent in an instant.
A great scholar in purple came to congratulate personally carrying a gift box!
Everyone stood up hurriedly, dishes clattered on the table, and the yard was in chaos.
Everyone bowed to the great scholar.
When the Ge family brought the purple-robed scholar into the house, the yard was filled with a buzz of discussion.
Soon, the neighbors of the Ge family found out that the messy things that Ge Xiaomao had been holding outside the door were all priceless treasures, including the eyes and teeth of the Wolf Saint. The great scholar from the Semi-Saint family came because he valued these two treasures.
The neighbors were stunned for a long time, and then sighs came one after another.
"The Ge family is going to be prosperous..."
"Hey, why the hell am I not Fang Xusheng's classmate!"
