Yuan Ding couldn't help crying loudly when he thought about his life experiences.

He was conceited and learned a lot, but he was born at the wrong time.

I have been wasting my time and have not met my Bole, so I have been depressed and frustrated.

He never imagined that he would have such a glorious moment in his life.

You know, this is the Daqin Academy, the highest academic institution in Daqin and even in the world.

Almost all the big names from the school of thought are gathered here, and it would be an understatement to say that the place is star-studded.

Nowadays, these big guys are drinking at the same table with me.

As the guest of honor, I was treated with the same etiquette as a scholar-official.

For a moment, Yuan Ding was so moved that he felt that if he died immediately, his life would be worth it.

All the regrets and resentments disappeared in front of this roasted suckling pig.

Yuan Ding burst into tears, which made Liu Fei, Yuan Li and others feel at a loss.

Liu Fei knew nothing about etiquette.

Even if Liu's business was established, he would still be doing the work of a contractor, and it would be difficult for him to be considered a dignified person.

At this time, there were dozens of people in the dining hall, but he was the only one sitting there, feeling helpless.

It would kill him to ask him to remember those complicated etiquette names, let alone understand what they mean.

As for Yuan Li, I feel a little embarrassed

To be honest, in terms of etiquette, Yuan Li and Liu Fei are actually a bit on the same page.

According to his father, Yuan Ding, Yuan Li is a person who is ignorant and has no skills.

When Da Qin Academy recruited students, Yuan Li wanted to follow his father's orders and enter Confucianism.

However, his own knowledge was not solid, and other Confucian schools did not want him at all.

In the end, he followed Duke Hou and became a member of the Academy of Sciences in a way that was similar to filling his head.

So regarding all these twists and turns in Confucianism, Yuan Li is still as Yuan Ding said, purely ignorant and incompetent.

Moreover, when Yuan Ding was speaking, Yuan Li was thinking about how to confront his father later, and didn't even notice what Yuan Ding said in the first half of his sentence.

He saw his own father crying bitterly, and thought he was so moved by this table of food.

In his eyes, his father's statement was indeed a bit embarrassing.

After all, braised pork, pork knuckles and other delicacies are almost standard in the dining hall of Daqin Academy.

Even the most ordinary scholar has the opportunity to perform tooth-beating rituals every now and then.

The only rare thing is the roasted suckling pig.

However, this dish was really poorly cooked.

A roasted suckling pig was charred on the outside, tender on the inside, and golden in color, perfectly demonstrating the skills of the chefs in the dining hall.

However, when the pig's back was cut open, a lump of butter was revealed inside.

The butter is soaked with various spices.

Just the smell is a bit unpleasant!

My family knows my own affairs, and Yuan Li knows very well what my father does in daily life.

Let's put it this way, eating at home has always been a simple meal. No matter what age it is, the condiments are all pitiful green salt.

Not to mention spices, I haven't seen that kind of thing at home since Yuan Jun was a child.

Yuan Li just thought that his father had been away from the times for so long that he had forgotten the spices that were worth gold in the past. At this time, they were already worthless in Da Qin.

It is said that Da Qin's sea travelers discovered several large spice islands in Nanyang, and the spices accumulated there are enough to be used by Da Qin for hundreds of years.

My father's behavior was really unflattering.

Yuan Li felt a little embarrassed.

However, no matter how embarrassed he is, he is still his own father.

The father did not understand this era of rapid changes, but as his son, he must not let him lose his face.

Thinking of this, Yuan Li quickly stood up and saluted in the direction of Bao Lingbai and others.

"Dear teachers, my father has been at home for a long time and has no information. I don't know that our Daqin has abundant products now."

As Yuan Li talked, he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Everyone looked at him with strange expressions. At first, he was a little confused.

When he saw his father looking at him with blazing eyes, Yuan Li suddenly shuddered and finally realized what was wrong.

When Yuan Ding spoke just now, he was in a state of mind wandering and didn't even think about today's dish in any other direction.

Now that he saw everyone's expressions, Yuan Li came to his senses no matter how late he was.

Oops!

Only then did Yuan Li remember that the table of pork dishes in front of him seemed to have other meanings.

Yuanding was angry at one moment, decadent at another, and melancholy at another.

In just the blink of an eye, the expression on his face had changed several times.

Bao Lingbai found it interesting.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Yuan Ding and Yuan Li's understanding.

Today's pork feast does have the meaning of being specially set up for Yuan Ding.

However, these dishes only showed the importance the academy attached to Yuan Ding, and did not lead to what Yuanding thought. Daqin Academy treated him as a scholar-bureaucrat.

Nowadays, Daqin is rich in products and ordinary people have no worries about food and clothing.

For Da Qin Academy, the cost of this table is no different from a usual meal.

The only roasted suckling pig represents the heart, and it is completely made in accordance with ancient rituals.

After all, the Daqin Academy did not have a deep understanding of Yuan Ding's knowledge. Rather than saying that this roasted suckling pig respected his knowledge, it was better to say that it was used to entertain the father and son who were debating tonight.

Of course, there is no need to explain these things clearly to Yuan Ding.

Yuan Ding is willing to think that the beauty of a gentleman is the beauty of adulthood. As long as he shows corresponding talents and learning, what if the Daqin Academy really treats him with the same respect as a scholar-official?

Thinking of this, Bao Lingbai couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Yuan, don't be surprised. Yuan Li is a student of the Academy of Sciences. He doesn't know much about the ancient rituals of our Confucian school. It's just as it should be. It's an unintentional mistake, just laugh it off."

Yuan Ding glared at Yuan Li fiercely. He was enjoying a solemn and ritualistic moment in his heart, but it was interrupted by this bastard.

The more you think about it, the angrier it becomes. The more you take a step back, the more you think about it.

Especially since this bastard is his own son.

He looked at his embarrassed son and then connected with the purpose of his trip.

Yuan Ding was immediately angry and angry, and his anger grew in his guts.

"Speaking of this scoundrel, I asked him to resolutely apply for Confucianism, but I never thought that this scoundrel would secretly join the Academy of Sciences behind my back. I see all the teachers here, it seems that the gentlemen from the Academy of Sciences are not here yet?"

Yuan Ding, who is sixty-five years old, has not lost a single tooth, and his articulation and clear logic are obviously very clear.

He kept saying that Mr. Academy of Science was his son's teacher, but he had an attitude of calling for punishment.

When Kong Yu and Bao Lingbai heard this, they looked at each other, and then they both nodded secretly.

You must know that Kong Yu and Bao Lingbai came to Yuanding not for academic exchange.

The main purpose of Yuanding's visit was to debate.

The so-called debate is actually just a quarrel, a confrontation, but it is said in a relatively polite way.

One of the most important reasons why Yuan Ding was chosen for this debate was that they heard that Yuan Ding was very strong!

It is really rare for someone who is sixty-five years old to still be able to fight without ceasing for life.

Bao Lingbai believed that he was the third troll in the court besides Li Si and Chun Yuyue.

At his peak, Bao Lingbai could be said to be a master of everything.

Even the First Emperor was once remonstrated by him face to face, but in fact he was no different from a bastard.

He said it was an exhortation, but it was to save face for the First Emperor.

However, since Bao Lingbai turned fifty-five, his combat effectiveness has dropped sharply.

This was certainly the reason why Brother Zheng didn't like Confucianism, but the most important reason was that Bao Lingbai himself clearly felt that his energy was low.

If the Academy of Sciences had not appeared later, Bao Lingbai would probably have gradually become more cautious as he grew older and would not dare to speak nonsense.

After all, as people get older, they will unconsciously have more worries.

Under the First Emperor's rule, Confucianism was already experiencing difficulties.
