Zhang Feng struggled to poke his head out of the quilt, panting heavily.
"Brat, this is our gift to you. You can just put it down."
Yu Shinan stroked his beard as he made some sarcastic remarks.
Zhang Feng rolled his eyes, turned around, walked into the room, and threw the cotton-padded clothes on the bed.
Yu Shinan and the others slowly entered the room and saw Zhang Feng standing there angrily. He smiled and said, "Boy, come here. We have something to tell you."
After that, they found a chair and sat down.
Zhang Feng moved a stool from the side and walked to the side of the crowd to sit down. He complained, "Dear teachers, if you want to send me a quilt, you can just find someone to do it. Why do you have to come here yourself?"
Ouyang Xiu laughed and scolded, "Boy, don't be so ungrateful. Do you think we old men want to give you a quilt? We have something important to tell you."
Zhang Feng was interested. "What is it? You even made us come here personally. "
Yu Shinan looked at Zhang Feng and smiled. "We heard that you are going to Jiangnan? Is it true? "
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Masters, you are really well-informed. Yes, I am planning to go to Jiangnan."
Yu Shinan looked at Ouyang Xiu and the others. They looked at each other and revealed a gratified smile, as if they had confirmed something.
However, they did not see the old scholar frowning.
Ouyang Xiu stroked his beard and smiled. "Fengzi, you have made the right decision. Jiangnan has been a place full of outstanding people since ancient times. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters and is a place full of talented people. If you go there, you will definitely achieve something. Moreover, Jiangnan will be far away from the court. It will be beneficial for you."
The four of them all hoped that Zhang Feng could go to Jiangnan. First, he could be far away from the court, far away from Li Shimin. Second, Jiangnan had always been known as a land of literature. Zhang Feng had been more or less influenced in the past. From then on, he had devoted himself to the study of Confucianism.
However, the old scholar was a little unhappy. He looked at the crowd and said, "I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case. Although Jiangnan is far from the imperial court, there is an even more powerful guy there. That is the Five Families and Seven Nobles. They have been entrenched in Jiangnan for many years and have a deep foundation. Moreover, there are many clans. If Feng Zi goes there, he will definitely accelerate the conflict with them."
Seeing the two gentlemen arguing, Zhang Feng naturally knew that they were doing this for his own good. He hurriedly advised, "Masters, there is no need to be like this. Since this brat dares to go to Jiangnan, he naturally has full confidence. When the time comes, I will bring guards. Moreover, with my intelligence, I believe that those clans will not dare to do anything to me."
"Kid, you're too confident."
The old scholar snorted, his face full of worry. "Do you know how powerful the Five Families and Seven Nobles are? How dare you boast so shamelessly?"
Then, without waiting for the others to speak, he continued, "The earliest clans in Jiangnan can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. Back then, the sons of the Zhou Dynasty's Emperor Tai Bo and Zhong Yong brought their relatives and settled in Jiangnan. They brought with them the most advanced farming techniques of the Central Plains. Later, Jiangnan slowly grew stronger and began to develop cloth, silk, tea, and so on. Slowly, the clans rose. Since ancient times, there have been countless wars. After so many dynasties, the clans' power has not been affected.
What do you think? "He was born in Jiangnan and lived in Jiangnan. He had dealt with many of the clans in Jiangnan and deeply understood how terrifying they were.
"Mr. Zihuai, you're worrying too much."
Yu Shinan added. He looked at the old scholar and said, "There are indeed many clans in Jiangnan. However, not all of them are hostile to Fengzi. You should know that not all clans are unpardonable. Moreover, Jiangnan is a famous country of culture and the home of talents. It is often a place where famous writers and scholars gather. There are also many famous scholars who serve as officials. Fengzi will only benefit from going there."
Chu Suiliang and the others nodded. Except for Xue Ji, the other three were all from Jiangnan. Naturally, they had deep feelings for Jiangnan.
The old scholar shook his head. "That's not right. Jiangnan is full of the Five Families and Seven Nobles. Among them, the Cuis, the Lu, the Li, and so on are the most powerful clans in the world. They control Jiangnan all year round and will not allow outsiders to interfere."
"These kids all know what the teachers said."
Zhang Feng continued, "However, I've still decided to go to Jiangnan."
For him, this trip to Jiangnan was imperative. Not only did he want to open the Maritime Silk Road and make perfume, but more importantly, it was because of Yu 'er.
Yu Shinan and the others nodded thoughtfully. They knew that if Fengzi went to Jiangnan, Li Shimin would not leave him alone. With his ability, he could definitely ensure Fengzi's safety.
Yu Shinan said with a smile, "Mr. Zihuai, you don't have to worry so much. If Fengzi goes to Jiangnan, there is still Lao Li."
Lao Li?
The old scholar was startled.
Indeed, if Fengzi went to Jiangnan, those people would not leave him alone.
With them, Fengzi would not be in danger.
However, in this way, Fengzi would be entangled with them again.
This was the last thing he wanted to see.
