Fang Yun took back his cup and thanked everyone once again.
Festivals did not seem to have any practical benefits, but they were of great significance to scholars. Even great scholars could not obtain such an honor. Whether it was Li Wenying or Minister Wen, they did not have such a festival.
Jingguo had been founded for two hundred years, and the only festivals that were formed were the birthdays of the founding father and the two Half-saints. Before the founding of Jingguo, the Half-saint who died was only celebrated in one prefecture.
Once the City Banquet was held, the entire Jade Sea Prefecture would celebrate this festival every year, and it would definitely affect the various prefectures in Jiang prefecture and Jingguo as a whole.
Fang Yun's previous contributions had to be reviewed by the Notre-Dame, and the Sage's Golden Brush had to be personally approved. The Literary Name's evaluation had not been decided yet.
But with the City Banquet, Fang Yun had obtained the Literary Name's first level, which was something that scholars dreamed of. Now, whenever the Literary Journal mentioned Fang Yun, it could directly write about Fang Yun's name.
There were more than twenty Jinshi present. However, only Fang Yun and Li Wenying had truly reached the level where their names could shake the entire country. The rest of them would never be able to achieve this in their entire lives.
"I'll have to trouble Lord Dong to introduce the guests so that I can do my duty as a host." Fang Yun said.
Magistrate Dong said, "Then I'll introduce them one by one. This is Zeng Yuan from the Zeng Sheng Family, who just arrived in Jade Sea City. "
"I've heard a lot about you, and now that I've met you, you're even better than your reputation!" Zeng Yuan said with a smile. His attitude towards Magistrate Dong was completely different.
Fang Yun also smiled and said, "The Zeng Family's Golden Abacus once earned 800,000 taels of silver in a year with a capital of 100,000 taels of silver. It shocked the business world and was called a genius."
Zeng Yuan didn't expect Fang Yun to know his name, which was an affirmation of his ability. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said modestly, "It's nothing, just some money."
Then. Magistrate Dong introduced, "This is Chen Zhiling from Jingguo's Chen Sheng Clan."
Fang Yun was filled with deep veneration. He said, "In the past, I heard that the Chen family's Zhiling led the Chen family's disaster relief team to rush thousands of li through the night without sleeping for three days. I've heard a lot about you."
Chen Zhiling was overjoyed, but he said, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
Next, Magistrate Dong introduced them one by one. These people were all famous in their respective regions. Fang Yun had read countless books. He had read through all the Wen Pao of the last few decades. Except for a few people who were not famous, he had pointed out the deeds of 90% of the people.
Feng Yuanjun secretly nodded at the side. It seemed that Fang Yun's lack of social interaction was not because he was proud and arrogant, nor was it because he did not have the ability to communicate. It was because he was busy with his studies. However, when he was in such an occasion, he was able to talk about the outstanding deeds of others. Not flattering or belittling was the easiest way to win everyone's favor. Just based on this point alone. Fang Yun had already reached the initial stage of "etiquette".
After introducing all the guests, Fang Yun introduced Yang Yuhuan to everyone. Everyone praised her, but there was a strange look in their eyes.
In the Saint Origin World. Even if it was a family banquet, women rarely sat at the same table as men. Only the mother, grandmother, and other elders of the host family could sit at the same table as men. Fang Yun brought Yang Yuhuan here. Although it was not to the extent of not following etiquette, it was still inappropriate for her to sit among these people.
When they were about to sit down, Yang Yuhuan slightly bowed to everyone. She said to Fang Yundao, "I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Fang Yun reached out and held Yang Yuhuan's hand. He smiled as he looked at everyone and said, "So many good friends are here. It would be disappointing for you to leave. Today, you and I will sit together to celebrate the city banquet. I haven't been home often these past few days. Now that we finally have time to be together, how can I let you go? Everyone, with such a beautiful wife, who would be willing to let go? "
The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. After Fang Yun finished speaking, the awkward atmosphere was swept away. Everyone started to tease.
"Of course, I'm reluctant to let go."
"You went to the Holy Ground to kill demons and destroy barbarians, leaving Jiangzhou's Xi Shi alone. Of course, you have to compensate her. Come, sit! "Magistrate Dong hurriedly smoothed things over.
"It's said that Fang Zhenguo doesn't forget his wife. Good."
Yang Yuhuan blushed. She lowered her head and bowed again to express her gratitude.
She held Fang Yun's hand tighter.
They sat down. In order to avoid suspicion, Magistrate Dong, an elder, sat on the other side of Yang Yuhuan. There was a large space in the middle.
After Yang Yuhuan sat down, she lowered her head. After a while, she poured wine for Fang Yun and picked up the dishes. When she peeled the prawns, she also removed the intestines of the prawns. She did not say a word.
Fang Yun drank and chatted with everyone. At the entrance of the Heaven and Earth Shell, there was a small accident.
A little fox looked around blankly. It walked in circles several times, but it still couldn't find the person it was looking for. Then, it looked at Little Shooting Star in confusion.
Little Shooting Star swayed gently, indicating that it didn't know either.
The little fox was even more confused. It scratched its head with its little paws and thought for a while. Then, it walked forward slowly with elegant steps. Its eyes were full of vigilance as if it was facing a great enemy.
Little Shooting Star suddenly flew over and leaned on Nunu's shoulder.
Nunu turned her head and cried out in dissatisfaction. It seemed to be saying, "Why aren't you running anymore? Didn't you not let me get close? "
Little Shooting Star swayed gently as if to say, "I know I'm wrong. We're good friends. I won't run away in the future."
Nunu snorted and raised her head high. She walked among the crowd. Little Shooting Star was even more afraid of strangers than Nunu. It followed closely beside the little fox.
On the way, a child saw them and immediately pointed at Nunu and shouted, "Little cat! Little white cat! "
Nunu turned her head and looked at the child with a look of disdain. She turned her head and left, leaving behind the silly child and the adults who were convulsing with laughter.
Little Shooting Star swayed briskly as if it was full of admiration for the little fox.
"Whose little fox is this? Come, let Big Sister hug it." A few girls walked over and immediately became excited when they saw the beautiful little fox. Two girls even squatted down and reached out to hug it. Nunu immediately retreated.
"Don't scare the little fox." Another girl handed a hot fried chicken fillet to the little fox.
Nunu looked at the fragrant chicken fillet and leaned forward to sniff it. Her gaze softened. After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to have thought of something. She gently stretched out her front paws and pushed the girl's hand away.
The girls giggled.
"This little fox is really interesting. What do you like to eat? We'll buy it for you."
Nunu tilted her head and thought for a while. Then, she shook her head and revealed a look that said, "Are these people troublesome?" She continued walking forward.
The girls were amused by Nunu and continued to laugh like silver bells.
Little Shooting Star was even more impressed. It gently bumped Nunu's shoulder.
Nunu, on the other hand, let out two cries. It seemed to be saying, "Don't mess around, I have serious things to do!"
Little Shooting Star followed obediently.
The Heaven and Earth Shell was filled with tables, and there were people everywhere. There was the sound of stir-frying and the loud shouts of guests. There were even some people hawking free snacks. These people actually pushed the snack stalls into the Heaven and Earth Shell and made snacks for everyone for free.
Nunu couldn't find Fang Yun and became more and more irritated. However, it wasn't discouraged. It kept sniffing, looking for Fang Yun's scent.
Along the way, many people were attracted by this cute little fox. They wanted to hug it and give it food. However, they couldn't stop Nunu from finding Fang Yun.
Nunu stopped when it reached the end of the Heaven and Earth Shell. It leaned its ear against the wall and listened for a while. Then, it raised its head, stretched out its paws, and patted gently.
There was no response. It patted again. Suddenly, a faint light descended and brought it and Little Shooting Star to Fang Yun's room.
When Nunu saw Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan, it immediately smiled happily. She immediately opened her small mouth and smiled happily. She ran over with light steps and jumped onto Fang Yun's lap. Then, she lay down comfortably.
Little Shooting Star also hurriedly flew over. It landed on Fang Yun's shoulder and rotated gently as if it was sizing up the people around it. However, it seemed to be afraid of being seen. It immediately flew to the little fox's side and let the little fox block it.
When the merchants saw Little Shooting Star fly under the table, they felt it was a pity. They were experienced and guessed that Little Shooting Star must be a strange treasure.
"Fang Yun, what is that meteor-like thing? I was curious when we met outside the city in the early morning. However, it wasn't convenient for me to ask, "Magistrate Dong asked while pouring wine.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I found a small thing in the Holy Ground. I don't know what it is, so I raised it as a puppy. Anyway, it's easy to raise."
Little Shooting Star suddenly jumped from Fang Yun's legs to his chest for everyone to see. It shook violently as if it was not convinced that it was stronger than a puppy!
Before Fang Yun could say anything, a small white paw stretched out from under the table and grabbed Little Shooting Star and pulled it back under the table.
Nunu stared at Little Shooting Star and whimpered unhappily.
Little Shooting Star shook as if it was wronged. It did not dare to fly up to refute Fang Yun.
Everyone thought it was interesting. However, this thing belonged to Fang Yun and no one knew what it was used for. Hence, no one mentioned it again.
"Fang Zhenguo, since the Holy Ground has been destroyed, it is no longer a secret. Can you tell us more about the Holy Ground? Of course, if it involves something inconvenient, you can skip it. If it's convenient, you can tell us about Xun Ye and Fierce King. Now that rumors are flying everywhere, we don't know if it's true or not. "Zeng Yuan smiled.
Fang Yun thought that this person was not bad. He was obviously reminding him to take it seriously. He could reveal the details through this banquet, which would be more effective than others.
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Since everyone has come to participate in this banquet, I don't have anything to thank you for. I will tell you the truth about what happened in the Holy Ground. When I entered the Holy Ground, I fell into a swamp. As you all know, the Holy Ground is extremely dangerous, so … "
Slowly, Fang Yun narrated his experience in the Holy Ground. When he talked about how Xun Ye stopped Jia Jingan from giving him the Holy Ground Secret Records, some people gently shook their heads. When he talked about Fierce King's sneak attack, everyone held their breaths. Yang Yuhuan instinctively reached out to hold his hand. Then, the little fox's paw also came over. When he talked about how he woke up from being poisoned, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
When he talked about how Xun Ye called him a piece of trash, a few hot-tempered people couldn't help but scold him. The little fox also cried out angrily.
Magistrate Dong interrupted and sneered, "No wonder he was inferior to others in that Comet Corridor. This is retribution! If he treats you well, once he leaves the Holy Ground, with the nurturing of a secondary saint family, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a great scholar! "
"No wonder the Xun Family has been hiding this matter. How despicable!" Zeng Yuan shook his head.
