Chapter 314: Four Symbols and Bagua
”Mislead?” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Ping Yang with disdain . How could he have misled Yan Xiu when the examination was in such an open area .
However . . .
How could he fail?
Even though he did not know what were the key pointers to look out for in a policy paper in this world, he was confident about his ”New Six Nations” .
”If what Wu Feng says is true, how is it possible that both of you didn't receive the invite to meet with the Emperor?” Wen Dabao was confused .
”The meaning of the policy . ” Yan Xiu said softly .
”The meaning?” Wen Dabao was confused . He had no idea what the question was, so he had no way of understanding what Yan Xiu meant .
However, at this point, the melodious music wafted out of the Intellectual Loft . It was intoxicating and calming .
”Let's go inside first . How can we enjoy the music at the door?” Ping Yang did not seem bothered about whether Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu pa.s.sed or failed .
Before Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu could say anything, she dragged them both into the loft .
Wen Dabao followed behind without any objection .
Once they were inside, Fang Zhengzhi realized that the 'fireworks' here were quite different from those he knew . There was no intoxicating lights here, only poetic and elegant art .
The inside of the loft felt like a circus tent . It was completely empty inside, with four staircases leading up to the second floor .
In the middle of the loft were dozens of tables filled with snacks and wine . There were scenic paintings all over the ceiling .
On the second floor were eight slightly raised platforms . There was a lady in a long dress on each platform, their faces covered by a white veil .
Each one of them had a different instrument .
On the third floor of the loft were four floating stages . They were in the directions of north, south, east, and west . There was a lady in a long dress on each stage .
Their dresses were in four different colors - green, red, gold, and white .
Fang Zhengzhi glanced at it . He had a feeling that the Intellectual Loft was set up rather uniquely . There were four staircases, eight stages in the middle, and four floating stages at the top .
”Four Symbols, Bagua!”
. . .
”Oh? Fang Zhengzhi is here!”
”And Yan Xiu . . . greetings Princess Ping Yang!”
Very quickly, all of the talents at the center table saw Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu . Then, when they saw Ping Yang between the two gentlemen, they all stood up .
The owner of the Intellectual Loft recognized Ping Yang instantly .
The moment Ping Yang was seen, a thirty year old lady in a white dress came to them .
”Your highness, do you want your usual seat?”
”Of course . ” Ping Yang raised her head haughtily .
”Your highness, please hang on a moment . I will arrange for it right now . ”
”Do it quickly . ”
”Yes your highness . ”
Before long, they were all led to a table in the middle of the loft . From this position, Fang Zhengzhi could see all of the art inside the Intellectual Loft .
PIng Yang looked at the seat, then blinked at Fang Zhengzhi . It was almost as if she was showing off her experience to Fang Zhengzhi .
”Not bad . ” Fang Zhengzhi nodded .
”Hahaha . . . of course it's not bad . ” Ping Yang smiled immediately when she heard this .
All of the other talents looked on scornfully . The talents who had just been chased out of the seat brooded by the side .
”They will always be failures!”
”They will always be failures!”
”We will see who has the last laugh when the results are announced tomorrow . ”
”Young Master Wu, tell us more about your policy . It will also allow some others to understand their lack of abilities . ”
”Hahaha . . . ”
Very quickly, chuckles could be heard from around them .
”Today's meeting should be about making friends and sharing knowledge . We should all make merry and enjoy the art . Let's not talk about the policy paper . ” Wu Feng waved all the other talents off, smiling as he did so .
”Young Master Wu, you are wrong there . The policy paper is the only component of the court theory examination . Anyone who can produce such stunning work is better than those who just memorize the Law of Dao!”
”Exactly . Young Master Wu already called this a gathering of intellectuals, why hold back?”
”Even though we also partic.i.p.ated in the court examination, but we were not invited to meet with the Emperor . It is our good fortune to be seated next to Young Master Wu today . We hope that you will impart some knowledge to us . ”
All of the talents pleaded with Wu Feng to discuss his paper with them .
