Qi Zheng privately negotiated with Fan Hui, Jiang Shu, and Master Lu about supporting the change, and all three of them also expressed their support for Qi Zheng.At the morning meeting the next day, Qi Zheng also announced the matter and asked for renegotiation.
Master Zheng, Master Zhao, and Master Lu had a chat around the fire with the three elders in the court. Master Zheng complained about Master Lu's betrayal, but Master Lu felt that they were ministers and could not go against the city lord. Master Zhao even felt that the city lord was right to do this, and that it should be changed. Moreover, the city lord said it was a trial run for one year, and if it doesn't work after one year, it can be changed back.Master Zheng was angry at the betrayal of the two, and left in anger and sadness, wanting to draw a clear line.Mr. Lu did not give in. He felt that he was protecting the foundation of Nine Cities. He could only wait for Mr. Zheng to get rid of his anger.
Master Zheng Zheng Yuan had a dream at his desk after returning home. He dreamed that Fan Yun became the head of the hundred officials, and his ancestors accused him of not guarding the Nine Cities. Zheng Yuan woke up from the dream, sweating profusely with fright, and asked the steward Zheng Yi to send the letter to Qi Zheng. At the same time, he told him to walk around if he met Master Lu. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the city gate, he met Master Lu sitting in a carriage waiting.
Mr. Lu then came to see Qi Zheng. The two felt that Mr. Zheng was a bit stubborn. Fortunately, Qi Zheng proposed a roundabout way to negotiate, otherwise something would have happened. Qi Zheng believed that Zheng Yuan was also doing his best for Jiucheng, so he hoped to win his support. Mr. Lu said that he would do his best.
Fan Yun made some snacks for the people in Shangsi and formally bid farewell to everyone. Jiang Shu arrived at this time and specially gave Fan Yun a few books, reminding Fan Yun that the selection test would not be that simple. If Fan Yun did not become an official, they would not meet again in the future.
Wei Rong bought a bird and let it fly on the street. Fan Yun happened to see it and took the initiative to greet Wei Rong and gave Wei Rong the snacks he made. Wei Rong praised the snacks for being delicious, but did not mean to thank him. Fan Yun thought that at least he wanted to say thank you. Wei Rong took out his flute and played a song. Although it was not pleasant to hear, Fan Yun still accepted this way of thanking him.At this time, Wei Ying arrived and gave a sculpture to Fan Yun instead of Qi Zheng, but when he looked back, Wei Rong was missing, and the two hurriedly found Wei Rong.
Wei Rong was sleepy, so he lay down on the cloth in the shop to sleep. Fan Yun persuaded Wei Rong to go back with Wei Ying, but Wei Rong refused, denouncing Wei Ying as a commoner. Fan Yun also thought Wei Rong was strange, but Wei Ying said that Wei Rong was the youngest in their family and the hope of the whole family.Fan Yun offered to let Wei Rong follow her back, but Wei Rong ignored her. Yan Jiang happened to arrive. Wei Ying persuaded Wei Rong to go to Yan Jiang's home, but Yan Jiang didn't agree, and Wei Rong actually agreed to follow.
At night at Yan Jiang's house, Wei Rong was either asking for food or playing the flute, which kept Yan Jiang awake all night.The next day, I met Fan Yun on the street. Yan Jiang wanted to go home to catch up on her sleep. Fan Yun took Wei Rong home and had hot pot together. Wei Rong also rarely had a smile on his face.
Mr. Lu came to see Zheng Yuan. Zheng Yuan pretended to be sick and disappeared, but Mr. Lu barged in and returned his letter of resignation to Zheng Yuan. He persuaded Zheng Yuan not to dismantle Qi Zheng, but Zheng Yuan didn't care at all and insisted on confronting Qi Zheng. In his excitement, he knocked over the three-color glaze. Zheng Yuan was very distressed, but the three-color glaze was a gift from Mr. Lu.Mr. Lu said no more lightly, which made Zheng Yuan feel heartbroken.He also pulled off the jade pendant he had given to Mr. Lu and broke it into pieces. Mr. Lu looked at a painting hanging next to him, which he had given to Zheng Yuan, and immediately pretended to tear it up. Zheng Yuan felt distressed and hurriedly stopped it.In the end, Mr. Lu's heartfelt words moved Zheng Yuan.
Wei Rong stayed at Fan Yun's house for a few days and then left. Wei Ying came to pick him up. Wei Rong called Fan Yun his future spiritual friend. Fan Yun didn't understand that Wei Rong yearned for freedom so much and wanted to take part in the selection test. Wei Ying told Fan Yun that Wei Rong not only wanted to take part in the selection test, but also wanted to be among the top three. She was very grateful to Fan Yun for not disliking Wei Rong and was happy that Wei Rong finally had a friend.Master Fan thinks Wei Rong is a genius, that's why he is not accepted by ordinary people. He can see things that Bill can't.
When Fan Yun was studying, Lou Qiyan came uninvited. Fan Yun did not want to be disturbed, so Lou Qiyan left without saying a word. But when Fan Yun read one of the sentences, Lou Qiyan appeared at the door and took the next sentence in time. It turned out that he had never left.
