Chapter 10: The Power of Famous Families
"You..." Gongsun Linglong was shaking with anger, pointing her jade finger at Jin Yao, unable to speak.
When her father and uncle found Jin Yao, she could only say that Jin Yao came to steal things. She couldn't tell her father and uncle that they had seen her . That was why Gongsun Long and Han Tan treated it as an experience in the martial arts world for Gongsun Linglong and did not chase after Jin Yao.
Jin Yao looked at Gongsun Linglong in front of him. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a good shape. Most importantly, her teeth were very white, big, and smooth! (Seen with my own eyes)
It's hard to equate her with the graceful and plump (how can a girl be said to be fat!) Aunt Gongsun that the three little ones saw.
There are two famous beauties in Yan, Zhao, Zhongshan and Qi, referring to Gongsun Liji and Gongsun Linglong. I really don't know how Gongsun Linglong became what she became later.
"Fat people all have potential!" Jin Yao thought about it and believed this statement.
"Little brother, you are awesome!" Han Fei gave Jin Yao a thumbs up from behind, only regretting why it wasn't him!
"Linglong, don't be rash!" Gongsun Long saw that Jin Yao's explanation was becoming more and more confusing. If he continued, Gongsun Linglong's reputation would be ruined. He pulled Gongsun Linglong back and looked at Jin Yao with scrutiny.
"He is not very old, only about twelve or thirteen years old. He is a good match for Linglong. He has delicate features and is a Confucian scholar. His social status is not bad either..." Mr. Xiang was fanning the flames and blinked at Jin Yao. This is a mountain of gold. If he doesn't grab it, famous people are very powerful.
Han Tan was a little surprised when he looked at Jin Yao. Jin Yao was a young boy at the beginning. He was dirty and had messy hair, just like a beggar. Now, he changed into Confucian clothes and held a replica of Lingxu in his hand. He looked like a handsome young man.
"Hmm? This Ling Xu..."
After Master Xiang spoke, Gongsun Long, as a father, also frowned, looked at Jin Yao, and then looked at Ling Xu in Jin Yao's hand, which actually made the "Yan Bing" in his hand resonate.
"It's real!" Gongsun Long narrowed his eyes slightly. Famous swords can sense each other and can make Yanbing resonate. So this Lingxu is not a fake.
"Let's go!" Gongsun Long turned around and took Gongsun Linglong, Han Tan, and Master Xiang into the Discussion Hall.
"Father!" Gongsun Linglong wanted to say more but was stopped by Gongsun Long.
"How did Ling Xu end up in the hands of a Confucian disciple?" Gongsun Long, who was walking side by side with him, suddenly spoke up.
Master Xiang smiled slightly, knowing that Ling Xu was not very popular in Mo Bian's hands, and Gongsun Long was one of those few people, "Does wearing Confucian clothes mean you must be a Confucian?"
"I see!" Gongsun Long stopped there without asking any further questions. He could also understand the current situation of the Mo Bian lineage.
"Master Mobian!" Han Tan also understood and turned back to look at Jin Yao meaningfully.
"I still don't know what your name is, little brother?" Han Fei and Li Si looked at Jin Yao. They didn't have the time to ask last time, and they only knew that his last name was Jin.
"Jin Yao, Yao as in distant!" Jin Yao still didn't understand what Han Tan meant by that last look, and asked, "Who are the two people following the teacher?"
"The one in front is the leader of the contemporary school of thought, the sophist of the 'Li Jian Bai' theory, and the general of Zhongshan State; the one behind is also one of the great debaters of the school of thought, Han Tan, the foreign minister of Han State." Li Si acted as a commentator, introducing them in a serious manner.
"What is Li Jianbai?" Jin Yao was puzzled. He really didn't understand this thing. He didn't even know how the famous school was ranked among the top 100 schools of thought.
"Mr. Gongsun Long believed that when you look at a piece of hard white stone, you cannot tell whether it is hard or not by looking at it with your eyes, you can only see that it is white. When you touch it with your hands, you cannot feel its whiteness, you can only feel its hardness. Therefore, there are only white stones and hard stones in the world, but no hard and white stones. This is the famous sophistry of 'separating hard from white'," Li Si continued to explain.
"Among them, the 'White Horse Theory' against our Confucian debaters has been something that Confucianism has not been able to resolve to this day!" Han Fei said with a smile.
"Bai Ma said!" Jin Yao understood. He didn't know the rest, but Bai Ma said that he was too famous. He quarreled with Confucianism, and then used Confucius' " The Man from Chu Lost His Horse" to criticize Confucianism, making the people of Chu non-human. The people of Chu felt offended.
I just never thought that I would be able to see these great scholars who are famous in history with my own eyes.
"In fact, no ambitious man can refuse a noble lady!" Han Fei looked at Jin Yao with envy.
"Why?" Jin Yao was puzzled.
"Because, with the abilities of famous masters, they can turn the world's fear and admiration of great figures into aura, and assist those with strong aura to turn the invisible aura into tangible results . Therefore, behind every great figure there is a famous debater, and they are not just used for debate!" Li Si continued to act as Baidu's explanation in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
"Name refers to both the virtual and the real! The nomenclature school named everything. The Yin-Yang school, the Five Elements school, and the historians are all considered branches of the nomenclature school. It was after the nomenclature school named and distinguished everything that historians began to study Yin-Yang, the Five Elements, and record the past and present." Han Fei continued.
Jin Yao was stunned, although famous scholars had a very high status in history, he really didn't know why it was so high, and he didn't try to understand . Now he understood, the mere fact of naming everything was enough to make them the big names among the hundreds of schools.
In particular, the invisible yin and yang and the five elements can be distinguished and named, which shows that famous masters have actually analyzed the origin of all things and named them.
"The most important thing is that famous people have power, influence and money!" Han Fei pointed out the key.
As scholars coveted by bigwigs, they naturally have no shortage of power. Famous men usually serve as foreign ministers when they enter the court. They bring treasures rewarded by the monarchs to lobby various countries and reach certain agreements. It is normal for them to intercept or be rewarded by the monarchs in the middle. Therefore, they will not be short of money.
Listening to Han Fei and Li Si's explanation, Jin Yao's eyes lit up, and his gaze towards Gongsun Linglong was full of passion. This was definitely a gold mine, and he couldn't let it go even if it was really Aunt Gongsun.
When you are young, you don’t know the benefits of older women and mistakenly think that slimness is a treasure!
"Little brother, your status is not inferior to that of Miss Gongsun. You can do it if you work hard!" Han Fei encouraged, drooling with envy. Why not himself? If he gets the support of famous people, then what he wants to do will be easy.
Although he was a student of Xunzi, he was a true Legalist. The School of Names also had a school called Criminal Law, which was one of the core classics of the School of Names that he could not learn even if he wanted to.
Therefore, if Jin Yao could deal with Gongsun Linglong, and he made friends with Jin Yao, he might have a chance to borrow the famous "Criminal Names" to read.
"I think she wants to beat me to death even more now!" Jin Yao also regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have forced himself on her. Why did he only remember to watch but not to do it? What a mistake!
