Chapter 106 Sending a Letter
At the foot of Huangshan Mountain, a group of people huddled together, and when they looked up, they realized that one person was missing.
"Where is Brother Ye Ru? Where did he go?"
Kong Hexuan glanced around and then noticed that Ye Ru was missing. He frowned and asked.
"Seeing the beauty and wonder of Huangshan, you might be so captivated that you'd forget your homeland?"
Meng Qingyang teased.
"Brother Ye Ru has such a resilient mindset; it's impossible for him to be so happy that he forgets his homeland. His ambitions lie elsewhere."
Dong Qi said with a smile.
"It's also possible that something happened while they were sightseeing..."
Han Lu pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"Han Lu, you have cursed Ye Anshou time and time again. If we weren't both from the same family of saints, I would have already engaged in a war of words with you."
Kong Hexuan turned his head and said, his face flushed.
"Are all Legalists so narrow-minded? Han Fei, the sage of the past, established laws to benefit the people. He was a great man. How did someone like you come to be?"
Meng Qingyang turned his head and said sarcastically.
"you……"
"Shut up! You think people from wealthy families dare to talk to us? I'll beat you up if you don't!"
Before Li Chi could finish speaking, Sun Kong, the strategist, shouted, telling him to shut up immediately.
"I hope nothing really happened to Ye Xingjun... What if..."
"Be careful what you say."
Song Tao glanced at Wang Hu and gestured for him to be quiet.
"Blame me, blame me."
Wang Hu covered his mouth.
Suddenly, a small black dot slid down from the sky, causing everyone to look up at the sky.
"what is that?"
Kong Hexuan looked up at the sky and said in surprise.
As everyone looked at each other in confusion, a figure, entangled in pine branches, slowly descended before their eyes.
"That's Chief Ye? Such a powerful aura..."
When Ye Ru landed completely on the ground, Kong Hexuan and the other disciples of the various holy families immediately narrowed their eyes and then murmured.
"Brother Kong, Brother Meng, we've kept you waiting."
Seeing that warm smile, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But when they sensed the aura emanating from Ye Ru's body, a look of shock flashed across their eyes. They could feel that Ye Ru's courage in releasing his knowledge was now much stronger than before.
"Ye Xingjun, we were just worried about you, and here you are."
Wang Hu's simple and honest smile immediately lightened the atmosphere.
"It seems that the Pine Spirit of Huangshan gave all those opportunities to Chief Ye, which is well-deserved."
Kong Hexuan felt only envy, not jealousy, while Han Lu had a gloomy expression.
"This trip to Huangshan has come to an end. We feel a little unsatisfied, but seeing the world-renowned poems created by Ye Anshou makes the trip worthwhile. Let's go back and prepare for tomorrow's Qingming Literary Gathering. We'll be waiting for your esteemed presence at Xiaoyaojin then."
Kong Hexuan clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone, and then slowly spoke.
I will definitely keep my appointment tomorrow.
Ye Ru returned the greeting, and the group boarded flying boats and spaceships to return to the Hall of Saints.
"Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, don't forget."
After Kong Hexuan finished speaking, he returned to his room to rest, and Ye Ru also returned to his room.
He took out "Investiture of the Gods" and examined it carefully for a moment before deciding to print a copy and have it delivered to the National Academy by Chen Daru.
He then took out a sheet of paper, laid it flat, and began to write with the wolf-shaped pen:
"Your Excellency, how is Chen Ru doing these days? Several days have passed since we parted in Qingyun County, and I miss him dearly. I apologize for taking the liberty of writing to you. I would like to entrust you with a letter to the National Academy of Sacred Learning, firstly as a grand gift to the head of the Legalist School, and secondly to express my respect for the head of the Legalist School's integrity in enforcing the law. I earnestly request your permission. I hope you will be gracious and kindly grant my request. Thank you again for your assistance."
After finishing writing, Ye Ru pondered for a moment, and then added a respectful salutation at the end of the letter.
"May Chen Rusheng's path to enlightenment advance step by step, and may he soon become a semi-saint."
Ancient letters were extremely elaborate, unlike modern ones. Firstly, they required attention to status, salutation, line breaks, address, and closing. Secondly, they followed a specific format, using appropriate words to express respect.
Thirdly, there is the body of the letter, which is the subject of the letter. The body of the letter should be written starting from the second line of the letter, with two spaces in front. If the opening salutation is on a separate line, the body of the letter can be written starting two spaces in the next line after the opening salutation.
The fourth part is the concluding remarks, and the fifth part is the closing remarks, which are short phrases expressing wishes, respect, or encouragement to the recipient.
Only then can it be considered a qualified letter.
After checking it twice more and finding nothing wrong, he sent the books and the letter through Hongyin.
"Technology has made many things faster, but it has also made modern people increasingly lose the ability to cherish things."
After sending the letter, Ye Ru recalled something a singer had said in his previous life and couldn't help but sigh.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ru took out his books and began to read.
Meanwhile, at the Kyoto National Sacred Academy, Chen Changfeng also received Ye Ru's imperial seal. He took out the books and letter, looked at them, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile:
"It seems that Chief Ye is not one to be bullied. He dares to provoke the entire Legalist school. He is brave, but the Legalist school is deeply rooted. I really don't know if your move is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or if you really have the ability."
Chen Changfeng sighed deeply:
"Prepare the car, I'm going to the National Holy Temple."
While Chen Changfeng was heading to the National Sacred Academy, Han Lu and Li Chi were also plotting something:
"That damned Ye Ru always ruins my plans. If it weren't for him, the inheritance of Huangshan Pine Spirit would definitely be mine."
Han Lu's face was gloomy as he cursed angrily.
"Brother Han is absolutely right. That Ye Ru is just taking a risky approach, he is extremely shameless. He actually avoided the main point and knew that he could not beat you in poetry, so he rewrote lyrics to win first place this time."
Li Chi nodded, then said resentfully.
'At least they're not all blinded by their own limited perspective. My elder brother will be attending the literary gathering tomorrow, and he will definitely have a showdown with Ye Ru. I will make Ye Ru utterly humiliated in front of everyone!'
Han Lu's eyes were filled with resentment and venom. Today's events were truly a disgrace, and this disgrace had to be washed away.
"Yes, and I won't let it go either, regarding his slander of my ancestor's reputation!"
A cold expression also appeared on Li Chi's face.
……
The next day, under the bright sunshine, Ye Ru stretched and thought that the others should have already gone to Xiaoyaojin. He then pushed open the door to call Wang Hu and the others.
However, as soon as he pushed open the door, the three faces that came into view made Ye Ru pause slightly.
"Ye Xingjun, you're awake. All those noble families have gone to Xiaoyaojin. The person from the Kong family asked me to pass on a message, saying that Han Yunxiu, who was studying in Luzhou this time, has returned to exchange poems with you. Be careful."
When Song Tao saw Ye Ru come out, he quickly said.
"It's those guys from the Han family again, they're such annoying flies!"
Wang Hu said indignantly.
"How about we skip the Qingming Literary Gathering, Mr. Ye? I heard that Han Yunxiu is a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations), and he was the top scorer in the examinations."
Wang Yuan said with a worried expression.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru glanced at the three of them, then nodded and walked towards the Hall of Saints first. A hearty laugh made the three of them relax.
“He has his Zhang Liang’s plan, and I have my way of getting over the wall. Let me, the top student in the preliminary examination, have a go at his top scholar.”
