In the end, Song Chu Yi just tempered his stubborn and unyielding nature, but didn't really teach him anything. Whether there was any master-disciple sentiment between them is unknown.

  Reality is the best whetstone, and the experience in Chu State can make the grindstone mature more quickly.

  Between dreams and reality, a scholar will inevitably choose to stake everything to pursue his dreams. This is an undeniable fact. Moreover, with the strength of Mozi, it's hard to stand out in Chu State in just a year or two.

  "Continue to pay attention to his message," said Song Chu Yi.

  Ji Yan said, "Yes."

  Song Chuanyi walked around the courtyard for a while before going to have someone prepare hot water, washing away the smell of wine from his body, and then took another nap.

  When she woke up, it was already dusk. The maid who had been summoned by Song Chuyi saw her open her eyes and hurriedly said, "Master, many people have come to visit."

  Song Chu rubbed his head and asked after a while, "What kind of people are they?"

  "Listen, he is a person from an old clan in Qin State," said Meng Yidao

  Yesterday, Song Chu Yi had a pleasant conversation with Ying Ji and stayed overnight in the palace. What kind of treatment is this? Ying Ji's esteem for Song Chu Yi makes it impossible for the old aristocratic families to ignore him without coming to probe his intentions.

  Song Chu got up and casually combed his hair, "Is everyone still here?"

  "They are still in the gatehouse"

  Song Chuayi casually grabbed a coat and headed out, Dandan didn't dare to speak up to advise him, and hastily followed behind Song Chuayi with her head down.

  The people sent by the old clan have been drinking tea in the gatehouse for a long time, but none of them have bid farewell and left. Now is the most critical moment for them to overthrow the new law. As long as there is a slight opportunity, they will not give up. For Song Chuyi, such an ambiguous "favorite", it is necessary to understand his stance and take advantage of it. If he can be used as a stumbling block, he must be eliminated immediately.

  "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

  Everyone was whispering among themselves when a clear voice came from outside the door

  Everyone's gaze followed the sound, and they saw a young man in his sixteen or seventeen years old walking in, with his robe and hair somewhat disheveled, looking very casual.

  These people were all seeing Song Chu Er for the first time. Although they had heard before that she was very young, when they actually saw her, they still couldn't help but be a little shocked.

  It was a while before anyone reacted and then someone hastily stepped forward and said, "We've met, Mr. Song."

  Everyone withdrew their thoughts and put on a rational crown. They slightly swung open their wide sleeves, bowed to Song Chu, and said, "We've seen the master."

  Song Chu smiled and returned the courtesy with a bow

  "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting." Song Chu stretched out his hand and invited them to enter, "Please take a seat inside the hall."

  Everyone exchanged pleasantries and walked into the hall together, taking their seats.

  The maid brought tea, and Song Chuyi asked, "I don't know what all of you have come together for?"

  "We are people of the Meng Xi Bai San tribe," said a lean old man over fifty years old, standing upright and clasping his hands, "I've heard that you, sir, are wise beyond compare, surely you can guess our purpose in coming here."

  "Meng Shangxian has overpraised me, I'm ashamed and dare not accept" Song Chuoyi said lightly. The matter of changing the law was secretly noisy, but after all, it didn't come to the surface, and the attitude of the monarch was unclear. These old men would not bring up this matter first.

  After a moment of silence, until the old clan became somewhat anxious, Song Chuoyi finally spat out a mouthful of tea and slowly said, "I also have a particularly good understanding of the current situation in Qin State, Shang Yang's laws are indeed enriching the country and strengthening the people..."

  Everyone's face was calm, but the atmosphere was a bit restless. Song Chuyi immediately followed up, "However, I am not a long-term solution."

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief, and Song Chu Yi continued, "However"

  A pair of eyes stared at her, the room was silent

  "The Qin people have gradually adapted to the new law, and the new law has brought tangible benefits to the commoner slaves, who have risen up. This is a pit dug by Shang Jun for you gentlemen, I believe you won't rush to jump in." Song Chuoyi leaned on his hand and took a glance.

  "Some immediately snorted, 'Those are just lowly commoners.'"

  "Water can carry a boat; it can also capsize it." Song Dynasty proverb

  Meng Huan furrowed his brow and said, "Sir's meaning is that this matter must be planned carefully?"

  "It's impossible" Song Chu immediately denied, "The sooner the new law is overturned, the better, but before overturning the new law, you must have a realization that the power of the common people cannot be underestimated. When restoring the old law, it is necessary to compromise on some aspects, otherwise restoring the old law will be extremely difficult, and it may end up being just empty talk."

  Inside the house, there was a moment of silence. Some people were aristocrats who were standard before the change in law. In their eyes, those slaves and livestock were no different. However, it cannot be denied that Songchu's words were sincere and reasonable.

  "So you're saying, sir, that you support the old law?" Meng Huan asked, somewhat incredulous.

  Song Shi smiled and did not answer

  And yet her attitude was taken by everyone as a tacit endorsement of Meng Huan's views.

  "You treat Mr. with a different attitude, I wonder if Mr. knows your intention?" someone asked.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one said, "Thanks to your superior's appreciation, I can stay in Qin State and make contributions. However, as a newcomer, there are some things that cannot be touched upon for the time being. In the future, please do not hesitate to give me guidance."

  This remark did not directly answer the question, but it also counted as an answer, showing that she was indeed highly valued by Jun Shang, and also indicating that she was still a newcomer and didn't quite understand Qin Guo.

  "I heard that Mr. is a Taoist cultivator?" asked Meng Xuan

  It was during the early Song Dynasty

  No one suspects that this casual and carefree appearance of hers is something that ordinary people can't pull off.

  "It's getting late, let's come back another day to visit you, sir." Meng Xuan bowed his hands.

  "With humble respect, I await your esteemed presence." The Song Dynasty always used this phrase when greeting guests.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, after sending them away, she returned to have someone serve her food. As she gnawed on a chicken leg, she thought to herself, "This old clan is indeed not simple, they can react so quickly." This also indirectly reflected the old clan's resolute attitude towards this matter.

  It seems this matter is more complicated than expected.

  "Sir, you have a visitor." A servant hastily ran in.

  Song Chu dropped the bones, took over the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped his hands, got up to go out to greet.

  A middle-aged man with a humorous expression walked towards them. Upon seeing Song Chuyi, he slowed down his pace and carefully sized her up, a faint smile appearing on his face. "I am Jing Jian, here to deliver a message at your behest."

  "Have met Jing Jian." Song Chu said with a bow

  Jing Jian is not his name, Jing is his surname and Jian is his position.

  "Sir, no need for courtesy." Jing Jian stretched out his hand to help her up - Song Chuyi, and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to her, "This is the emperor's appointment to you, sir."

  "Thank you" Song Chu handed it over with both hands

  This is actually the official position given by Emperor Taizong of Song to Ouyang Xiu.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one reversal was indeed puzzling over which official position she would get, her age and what she did were not suitable for a high position (recommended vote monthly vote)
