It was quiet in front of the Fang family. Lei Zhongmo held the branch with both hands and stood there motionlessly. The rest of the Lei family also stood there quietly.
The sun slowly rose.
After a long time, someone in the crowd suddenly said in a low voice, "Fang Xusheng is back."
Thus, the crowd dispersed to the sides like a tide. They saw Fang Yun, Yang Yuhuan, Yan Yukong, Kong De Lun and some members of the Kong family walking forward.
Fang Yun cupped his hands towards the crowd and smiled, "I am ashamed to disturb everyone because of a small matter between me and the Lei family."
"You don't have to be ashamed. We enjoyed watching!" A military scholar said loudly, causing the crowd to chuckle.
Fang Yun quickly walked towards Lei Zhongmo. As he walked, he said, "Mr. Zhongmo, what are you doing? Quickly get up, put away the branch and put on your clothes. How can this Fang make you plead guilty! Although I knew you were coming today, I didn't know the exact time. That's why I ate at the Kong family before coming. If you came so early, I would definitely go home early. "
As Fang Yun spoke, he snatched the branch from Lei Zhongmo's hands and threw it on the ground. Then, he helped Lei Zhongmo up.
"Thank you, Fang Xusheng, for your kindness. I am guilty …" Lei Zhongmo sighed.
"Lei family's head is too polite. It's nothing more than a dispute of personal feelings. If you really speak openly and honestly, all grudges can be written off." Fang Yun smiled and looked at Lei Zhongmo quietly.
"Fang Xusheng is indeed broad-minded. My Lei family was blinded by lard. They thought that they had made great contributions to the Two World Mountain. With the Dragons as their backing, they became arrogant. The Lei family has always been in the wrong for everything that happened between you and my Lei family. "Lei Zhongmo said.
Fang Yun said politely, "If you have the heart to repent, then don't dwell on the past. You should look forward …"
Thus, one of them admitted his guilt sincerely, while the other forgave him generously. The two of them went back and forth like a Notre-Dame.
After that, Fang Yun welcomed the Lei family into the house. The guests of honor took their seats, and they started off by exchanging some pleasantries. The Lei family kept admitting their mistakes. Lei Zhong Mo even accused the Lei family elders of doing nothing and said that he wanted to reform the Lei family's family style.
Not long after, Lei Zhong Mo took out the Lei family's River Shellfish. The treasures given to Fang Yun included the Flesh Incarnation Fruit, the Longevity Fruit, the Scripture Treasure, the Holy Page, and so on. Apart from a few Half-saint blood that could be considered as Saint level treasures, there was not a single Supreme Saint blood or other Saint level treasures in the wager. They were all in the Lei family's secret vault.
The number of Life-Giving Fruits and Life Prolonging Fruits that Lei Zhongmo took out was only half of the bet. The other half was also in the Lei family's secret vault.
Other than the treasures, Lei Zhongmo also gave Fang Yun many land deeds and trade documents for shops. These were all part of the bet that day.
Other than the River Shellfish, there were many other large items, such as 10,000 sets of Demon Iron Cavalry Armor and gold, silver, and jewelry. The Lei family had already loaded them into the carriage and would leave in three days for Jingguo.
Finally, Lei Zhongmo took out a two-foot-long dragon horn. The dragon horn was thick at the bottom and thin at the top. As if it had been carefully polished, its grey surface shone with a faint golden light. It seemed to be breathing in Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. Once it appeared, the surrounding air became extremely fresh, and people could not help but breathe in deeply.
Lei Zhongmo handed the Flood Dragon Saint Token to Fang Yun with both hands and said, "The True Dragon Token has been taken away by the East Sea Dragon Palace. You can give orders to the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas at any time. This is the Flood Dragon Saint Token given by the Flood Dragon Saint. With this token, you can order the Flood Dragon Palace to do something that they can do. "
Fang Yun nodded lightly and accepted the Flood Dragon Saint Token.
From beginning to end. Lei Zhongmo's words were extremely sincere, and his attitude was so low that it was hard for the people around him to accept.
After Lei Zhongmo left, Fang Yun stood in the courtyard and looked at the distant sky.
Yang Yuhuan walked over with Nuu in her arms. She said softly, "Husband, is the Lei family sincere in their apology?"
"If they were sincere, they would have already offered up all their treasures." Fang Yun spoke his true thoughts straightforwardly.
"Yes, I think so too." Yang Yuhuan said as she gently stroked Nuu in her arms.
Fang Yundao said, "Oh right, I will continue to trouble you these few days. Accompany me to meet some important people in Kong City. "
"I am not tired at all. I know you are doing this for my own good." Yang Yuhuan smiled faintly and reached out to help Fang Yun flatten his collar.
Fang Yun nodded and said, "In a few days, I will take you to visit the Women's Society in Kong City. In the future, when I am not here, you have to interact more with the female scholars in the Women's Society. "
Yang Yuhuan was stunned and showed a helpless expression. She said, "Su Xiaoxiao is a member of the Women's Society. She has always been in contact with the people of the Women's Society, but even when she came to Kong City, she did not meet them. The people of the Women's Society also said that if you really support the Women's Society, it is best to meet them secretly. After all, a tall tree attracts the wind, and they are afraid that it will affect your Literary Name and future. You also know that the Hall of Rites and many scholars have been attacking the Women's Society. Some places have even banned the branches of the Women's Society. If you formally visit the Women's Society, I am afraid that you will make many enemies. "
"How can your husband be compared to those stubborn and pedantic people? Since the establishment of the Women's Society, the purpose of the Women's Society is to protect the human race, eliminate the demons and destroy the barbarians. Confucius said that there is no discrimination in education. The human race can even educate the demons and barbarians. Can't they tolerate women? Heaven and earth can tolerate women, and the saints can tolerate women, but can't those scholars? Are they bigger than heaven and earth, or are they bigger than the saints? "Fang Yun said loudly.
Yang Yuhuan smiled bitterly and said, "I understand the principles you said, but 'etiquette' is the most important. Whether it is etiquette or law, the status of us women is very low. We women are not reconciled, the Empress Dowager is not reconciled, Hongzhuang is not reconciled, and Xiaoxiao and I are not reconciled, but what can we do? There are some things that we are not afraid of, but we are afraid that those people will taint your Literary Name. "
Fang Yun smiled and said, "If you are not afraid, why should I be?"
"My husband is more important than us." Yang Yuhuan answered seriously.
"You are really my good wife." Fang Yun said with an ambiguous smile.
Yang Yuhuan's face suddenly turned red, as if she had been splashed with pink. She charmingly stared at Fang Yun with a special charm.
Fang Yun laughed and said, "I don't have time tomorrow … Hmm … I will go to the Women's Society on the first day of next month. I heard that the Women's Society bought a piece of land outside Kong City. They say it is a farm, but it is actually a girls' school. There are classes every month on odd days. In the morning, they study literature, and in the afternoon, they practice martial arts. Is this true? "
"Hmm, Su Xiaoxiao was a female teacher at the Women's Academy. Every month, she would go there to teach a few classes. Oh right, don't mention the words' Women's Academy 'in front of other scholars. The Women's Society is already a taboo, and the Women's Academy is a thorn in the side of some scholars. That year, the Women's Society privately hung the plaque of the Women's Academy, but the next day, it was taken down and smashed by the scholars of the nearby Literature Academy and the yamen runners of the government. Then, many female teachers and female students were arrested. Those women from rich families were released, and those from ordinary families were all sentenced to heavy sentences for violating etiquette. There were also some who were already married, and their husbands wrote letters of divorce. Those who were engaged had their marriages broken off. In the end, they either went crazy or died. Since then, even the daughters of aristocratic families only dared to teach in private. They did not dare to hang the plaque of the Women's Academy. "
"I read about this in the old Wen Pao!" Fang Yun's tone was heavy.
"So, you must not do anything that violates the taboo."
