I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

Fu Wenyu also planned to step forward.

His main purpose of coming to Jiangzhou this time was to participate in the literary gathering organized by Ji Xiucai. That is, to find an opportunity to ask the scholars in Jiangzhou for advice and to communicate with other scholars.

Since he passed the examination for the scholar, his progress has become slow.

The main reason is of course that there is no teacher to guide him.

After he passed the examination for the scholar, Chen Fuzi and others in the school said that there was nothing to teach him. Although Liu Juren said that he could ask him if he had any doubts, it was not good to disturb him often. So in the more than a year after passing the examination for the scholar, Fu Wenyu spent most of his time studying on his own.

It was for this reason that after receiving Ji Xiucai's post, he agreed without hesitation.

In order to make the most of this literary gathering, he not only sorted out the doubts he had in his usual reading, but also brought several of his best articles, intending to find someone to comment on them.

Mu Zhizhou, who was a Jinshi, is undoubtedly a good candidate.

So when he saw that the people surrounding Mu Zhizhou had come to an end, Fu Wenyu stood up and walked over.

"I greet you, Lord Mu."

Mu Zhengyang hesitated slightly after hearing Fu Wenyu's voice. After looking at him for a few times, he suddenly realized, "You are Fu Wenyu from Liuzhou. Since you are here today, I guess you have passed the examination and become a scholar?"

Fu Wenyu didn't expect that Mu Zhizhou still remembered him, so he replied, "I passed the examination last time. Thanks to Brother Ji for sending me a letter, I dared to ask you for advice."

"I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to the prefecture yet."

Mu Zhizhou smiled faintly on his serious face, "The last time I saw you, you were writing the story of eyes that can see through jade. Now I see you again, you have passed the examination and become a scholar."

"Not bad."

"Show me your article."

When Mu Zhizhou talked with Fu Wenyu, many people were whispering.

Someone asked curiously, "Who is that person?"

"Lord Mu is such a serious person, but he just smiled at him. Could that young man be Lord Mu's nephew, or a junior he knows?"

Someone soon refuted, "But I haven't seen him. Those who come here today are either scholars or juren. We have seen him in other places before. I am sure he is a stranger."

"And I haven't heard that Lord Mu has nephews. No, Lord Mu does have a nephew, who seems to be called 'Murong Bo', but he rarely goes out and has no fame."

"Don't guess, he is from Liuzhou."

Someone looked at the conversation between Mu Zhizhou and Fu Wenyu, and said with a complicated expression: "He is Fu Wenyu of Liuzhou, the one who wrote the story book "Legend of the Divine Eye" and caused the appearance of Yushan in Chen County."

"And Lord Mu was promoted to the magistrate because of his meritorious service in governing Chen County."

As soon as he said this, others suddenly understood.

"So that's it!"

"He is the 'Fu Wenyu'."

"No wonder Mu Zhizhou knows him and talks to him. It turns out that he is the 'Fu Wenyu who 'writes into reality'. This is not surprising. If anyone can make a jade mountain appear in my house, I will also be kind to him."

"Look, Lord Mu is personally correcting his article!"

"Let someone bring paper and pen!"

"Hiss..."

In the inaudible whispers, Fu Wenyu listened carefully to Mu Zhizhou's explanation.

The article he asked Mu Zhizhou to guide was carefully selected.

The so-called 'careful selection' means that he chose the most representative topic from the real questions of the provincial examinations over the years, and then carefully analyzed and studied it, and then wrote it strictly according to the standards of the provincial examinations. In other words, if he were to participate in the provincial examinations now, this article would be his highest level.

Fu Wenyu wanted to know what level he had reached.

And Mu Zhizhou did not disappoint him. Because he was a serious person, he did not praise Fu Wenyu's article for helping him in his official career. Instead, he criticized it from beginning to end.

Finally, he asked him to rewrite it.

So Fu Wenyu came back with several sheets of paper.

After he sat down, the scholars Min and Qiong who loved to watch the fun came over, and several other scholars who also came from Liuzhou also quietly pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

Min Xiucai asked curiously, "Wenyu, do you know Lord Mu Zhizhou? I see that when he instructs others, he only gives a few words and doesn't explain too much. Only you took nearly two quarters of an hour."

Fu Wenyu's hand was holding a few pieces of paper written by Mu Zhizhou. His thoughts were a little scattered because of the familiar handwriting on them. After hearing what Min Xiucai said, he casually replied, "I went to Chen County to visit Lord Mu, who was the county magistrate of Chen County at that time. I didn't expect that he still remembered me after a few years."

Fu Minghui had just shown his article to Mu Zhizhou. Now after hearing what Fu Wenyu said, he thought about it. "Uncle Wenyu, was it the time when Uncle Qingshi and his family were cheated?"

Fu Wenyu nodded, "Yes, that time."

Qiong Xiucai next to him became curious, "Cheated? Minghui, tell us about it."

Min Xiucai also said, "I'm also curious about how they were cheated."

Fu Minghui glanced at Fu Wenyu, and when he saw him nod, he said, "I heard about this from my father. A few years ago, when several uncles in the village went to Chen County to look for jade, they were cheated by someone using a glowing stone. Later, Uncle Wenyu found out about it, so he took a few people to Chen County and caught those scammers after uncovering the truth."

"This incident was even written into a storybook, which is "The Night Pearl of the Collection of Scams."

Min Xiucai was surprised, "Mr. Gongyang's "Collection of Scams"?"

Qiong Xiucai touched his chin, "I remember that this storybook "Collection of Scams" seemed to have been staged into a play? The last time I went to the hot spring villa to play, I saw this scene."

"Mr. Fu, you have to tell us in detail."

There is nothing that cannot be said about this matter. Fu Wenyu did not have time to study Mu Zhizhou's handwriting at this moment. Yu Shi folded up the few papers that made him uneasy and put them away, and told them carefully.

"This is what happened..."

He simply told the villagers who were deceived, went to Chen County to find people, found clues, Mu Zhizhou summoned, talked, arrested people, and took back the money that was deceived, and finally said.

"...In fact, the one who really sees everything is Lord Mu. It was only when Lord Mu summoned me that I found out that he had already noticed the clues and had been sending people to track down those scammers. If it weren't for Lord Mu, my second uncle and his friends would not be able to get back the money they were cheated of, and more people would be cheated."

Min Xiucai and Qiong Xiucai both realized, "So that's how it is."

Next, until the end of the literary meeting, several people asked him about his relationship with Mu Zhizhou, and Fu Wenyu gave the same answer. After all, it was not something shameful.

As for whether the other party believed it or not, it was none of his business.

After returning from Ji's house, Fu Wenyu politely declined the suggestion of Min Xiucai and others to "go out for a walk", then returned to the room and found a letter from his bag.

That was Mr. Murong's most recent reply.

In this letter, the other party agreed to his invitation to meet and set the time as "the third morning after the literary meeting". Because the time and place were written on the letter, he brought it specially.

Fu Wenyu found this letter now because he had a familiar feeling after seeing the handwriting of Mu Zhizhou at the literary meeting just now. He felt that Mu Zhizhou's handwriting was very similar to Mr. Murong's.

As expected, when he unfolded Mr. Murong's reply and then put the handwriting of Mu Zhizhou on the paper next to it for comparison, the style was exactly the same.

So Mr. Murong was related to Mu Zhizhou?
