A storm was thus resolved by Fu Xiaoguan without a trace.
Of course, He Sandao's evil plan to knock Wang Sun Wuya down with a bottle of wine failed.
Sima Che sat opposite Fu Xiaoguan, looking up from time to time. The more he looked, the more panicked he became. He suddenly realized that he had not come to Jinling to participate in the special examination... It seemed that it was not his own will.
What is the original heart?
It’s the book "A Dream of Red Mansions"!
It’s those poems and articles!
It is his plan to save the world!
And his legendary life!
After listening to He Sandao repeat Wang Sun Wuya's words, she thought that according to his status and position, he would definitely drive this prince out, but she didn't expect that he would just smile.
That smile represents tolerance, open-mindedness, a calm mind, and a broad heart!
Looking at the entire Yu Dynasty, or even the entire world, is there any other person like this?
Her heart was beating wildly, and she suddenly felt a little hot, her face was slightly burning, and she thought... Could it be that spring has really come?
Fu Xiaoguan's gaze lingered on Sima Che for a moment. Firstly, her extremely beautiful face really caught his eye, and secondly... it was the headband on her head.
That headband seemed to be exactly the same as the one in his sleeve pocket!
Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind. As the host of tonight, he glanced at everyone with a smile on his face and raised his glass. When everyone saw this, they also raised theirs quickly.
"This is your first meeting with me, so I'm afraid you don't know me very well. Let me put it this way: forget about that ridiculous Ding Anbo, and just treat me as that small landowner in Linjiang."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed and looked at Wang Sun Wuya, whose pale face suddenly turned red.
Fu Xiaoguan laughed again and said, "I'm not kidding, Young Master Wang Sun. This is what I really think. I'm hosting you all today not to discuss anything important, but because I'm quite curious about the Five Great Families and want to get to know you."
His words lowered his posture. The dignified Earl of Ding'an said that he wanted to make friends with the children of merchant families like them. This gave everyone enough face. They looked at Fu Xiaoguan again and suddenly felt that this lord was not as lofty as they had imagined.
"Except for Uncle Sima, the rest of us are about the same age as us. Since your family sent you to the capital, I believe your position in the family is extremely important. Let's drink this glass of wine together to celebrate our first meeting!"
"Thank you, Earl Ding'an!"
"cheers!"
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere relaxed a lot. Sima Run was the oldest person here. He was flattered by Fu Xiaoguan's words "Uncle Sima" just now, so he stood up, walked to Fu Xiaoguan and filled a glass of wine for him.
"This wine is from the family of Earl Ding'an. It tastes truly divine. I'm borrowing Earl Ding'an's wine today to toast you. Firstly, this morning's class was a revelation to me. Secondly... being able to meet a young hero like Earl Ding'an is truly a blessing for me, Sima Run. Three cups, sir!"
"Hahaha, Uncle Sima, I must drink this wine. Come on, three cups!"
After the two of them drank three glasses of wine, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Then Lu Xihui stood up, filled Fu Xiaoguan's glass with wine, bowed and said, "My humble servant..."
Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand, "For these two words, you drink three glasses of wine as punishment! At this table, there's no distinction between high and low. I won't call myself an official, and you must not call yourselves villains either. It's enough for us to call each other gentlemen!"
Instead of feeling embarrassed, Lu Xihui's eyes lit up and he roared proudly, "Alright! This wine is my punishment. Just based on what Ding Anbo said, I, Lu Xihui, will follow him for the rest of my life!"
Sima Che looked at Fu Xiaoguan again. In such an era where officials are the most important, a person like Fu Xiaoguan who condescended to mingle with businessmen... was truly an outlier!
The others also looked thoughtful, wondering if this gentleman had a deep heart or was he just being true to himself?
Only Ning Yuchun understood what Fu Xiaoguan's intentions were.
"Come from the masses, go back to the masses. Being an official is like being a human being. How do you get others to open up to you? There is only one way: get into their hearts."
Fu Xiaoguan said this to him in the carriage on the way to Sifang Tower, and mentioned that Her Royal Highness the Princess recommended him to be the prefect of Wofeng Road.
I became his subordinate!
Ning Yuchun was not upset at all, but was very happy, because he firmly believed that he would witness the rise of the Fourteenth Dao of the Yu Dynasty with his own eyes!
The dishes are the best dishes and the wine is the best wine.
The atmosphere here became lively. Even Wang Sun Wuya admired Fu Xiaoguan very much at this moment. He expressed deep regret for his previous words and punished himself with three cups of wine.
"My cousin Wang Sun Wuji's letters home repeatedly mentioned that Lord Ding'an was no ordinary man, a true dragon among men. To be honest, Lord Ding'an, I didn't believe it before, but after seeing it today, Lord Ding'an's demeanor has impressed me. This beating is worth it!"
"Hahahaha..." The whole room burst into laughter. Wang Sun Wuya wiped his mouth and said, "Mr. Ding'an, let's drink three cups. I'll drink first as a toast!"
After several rounds of bombing, Xu Xinyan felt a little worried. She went out alone and asked the shopkeeper to prepare a bowl of sobering soup for Fu Xiaoguan.
Sima Che also came over at this moment. She walked to Fu Xiaoguan's side, bent down and poured a glass of wine for Fu Xiaoguan.
The hairband floated to Fu Xiaoguan's face, making him feel a little itchy. He turned around and saw that it was exactly the same as the one in his sleeve pocket.
Sima Che held the cup, her face slightly flushed, her red lips parted, her breath as sweet as orchid: "I am Sima Che, a humble lady. I have long admired your great name, and I am overjoyed to see you today..."
She bit her lip, her eyes turned, and she suddenly asked, "Sir, could you write a poem to go with this fine wine?"
As soon as Sima Che said this, everyone fell silent and looked at Fu Xiaoguan - this gentleman's poems and essays are masterpieces!
It would be a great blessing in my life to be able to see him compose poetry live.
Fu Xiaoguan didn't act pretentiously. He stood up with the cup in his hand, very close to Sima Che, almost bumping into the pair of car lights.
Sima Che blushed and took a step back. Fu Xiaoguan said with a smile, "I haven't written poetry for a long time since returning from the Wu Dynasty. Since the young lady invited me today, I won't be polite. Let's drink this glass of wine first!"
"Pen and ink at your service!"
Sima Che's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and everyone stood up at this moment.
Ding'an Bo is going to compose a poem on the spot!
Even He Sandao, an illiterate man, was very excited. They were all small landlords, so why was there such a big difference?
Sima Che bit his lips lightly, his face full of anticipation. What kind of poem would he write?
