Moreover, ever since the two women achieved the status of divine transformation, few people have been able to see their true appearance. Perhaps because of this, the topic of who is the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhou has finally faded.
But no matter what, the beauty of their masters is rare in the world.
Of course, in addition to his peerless looks, their master is also a great scholar of the time.
That is the style of a great scholar who "is a farmer in the morning and enters the emperor's palace in the evening" and "wears a feather fan and a blue scarf, and can reduce the masts and oars to ashes while talking and laughing."
Unlike the ancient Confucian scholars, the Confucian scholars in the Eight Wildernesses World, even the great Confucian scholars, are not weak bookworms.
In the world of Bahuang, there is a folk song about Confucianism:
Confucian scholars have talent. Their poems can kill enemies, their lyrics can destroy armies, and their articles can bring peace to the world. Scholars can write about war on paper; candidates can kill enemies and write poems...
Therefore, their master can be said to be both talented and beautiful, and both civil and military.
Even before she dressed up, she had already captivated all the maids and servants.
This outfit made them wet their eyes on the spot... and they all sighed how there could be such a beautiful woman in the world!
however……
Their master seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
She put the book down, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at the extremely unfamiliar self in the mirror with an expressionless face.
It’s just because now she no longer has the image of the famous teacher she used to have.
The righteous spirit that originally surrounded him was completely hidden, and his Confucian temperament was gone as well.
But it’s dazzlingly beautiful!
It made her feel disgusted!
We, the great scholars, should maintain a righteous spirit in our hearts, and pursue our great aspirations to educate the world. Although we are wearing linen clothes and cloth shoes, and have insufficient food and clothing, our original aspirations remain unchanged. Why should we show off our beautiful bodies to others?
"Master Taifu, you are truly a beauty. Even with just a simple make-up, you look like a fairy descending from the heavens.
If those people in Luojing saw this, they would be so shocked that they would doubt their lives!"
Listening to the book boy praising her, Gao Siya felt depressed, but couldn't bear to blame him, so she could only sigh:
"I'm just going to meet my students. Is it necessary to dress like this?"
“Of course it is necessary, Master Taifu, although you are going to meet your student, you must not forget that your student’s identity is not ordinary, and behind him stands the Yifeng Marquis Mansion.
The Yifeng Han family will definitely hold a grand welcome banquet for you, and maybe Yifeng Hou will come to greet you in person, so don't lose your manners!"
Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness are the five constants of Confucianism.
Therefore, Confucian scholars attached great importance to etiquette. Whenever there was a grand occasion or when visiting someone, they would dress formally. At least in terms of etiquette, there was nothing wrong with it.
Having said that…
On ordinary days, Gao Siya would always be dressed as a scholar even when she visited the emperor or went to the palace to meet him.
At most, you just need to take care of your hair and clothes and keep them clean and tidy.
But I never thought it would be like this today.
In particular, she hasn't worn women's clothes for a long time.
That just feels awkward no matter what.
For example, this palace skirt is so long that it binds the legs tightly like a torture device.
And that pair of Shu brocade jade shoes, the soles are so high, it’s uncomfortable to walk in them!
It is hard to imagine how these palace ladies walk on the street wearing such high heels on a daily basis. It is simply a torture!
That's why she had some complaints about it.
however……
"Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is, Master Taifu, now that you have something to ask of the Han family, you should be more polite."
The next words from this personal female servant who had followed her for many years instantly dispelled the resentment in her heart.
Yes, it’s her fault that she needs help from the Han family!
I just hope that the young master of the Han family is a person who will remember the old friendship and generously lend a helping hand because of the way she taught him in the past!
In this way, with the help of the Han family, the local tyrant in Tianhaizhou, it should not be so difficult to investigate the whereabouts of the natural demon.
After thinking about it, she finally compromised:
"Well, that's it!"
Chapter 341: Righteous and Lonely Su Mengyao
2024-07-05
On the third day after Han Mo was able to get out of bed and move around, a grand welcome banquet was held at the Yifeng Marquis Mansion.
Although the host of this banquet was the Han family, the protagonist was Gao Siya, the Prince's tutor of the Xian Dynasty who came all the way from Luojing.
As a court tutor, Gao Siya is one of the most famous scholars in the Great Zhou.
She was the top scholar chosen by the previous Emperor of Zhou. She was knowledgeable, talented, well-read, and eloquent.
It is rumored that she wrote hundreds of poems and articles, which are still regarded as classics of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After the late emperor passed away, she was appreciated by the new emperor and was appointed as the prince's tutor to teach in the Eastern Palace.
For many years, he has been the leading figure of Confucianism and Taoism in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In addition to her achievements in literature and officialdom, she also cultivated a sense of righteousness.
The Haoran one is upright and majestic!
Therefore, she hated evil the most, and regarded the evil ways of the Great Zhou as a chronic disease that hindered the Great Zhou, and wanted to eliminate it as soon as possible.
Therefore, she is the most determined demon-killing guard and demon-slaying pioneer in the Great Zhou.
For the Han family, even if they have never seen the Prince's tutor, many of them have heard of her name.
In their view, such a great scholar who hates evil and is upright must be a righteous and awe-inspiring person.
Who can imagine...
When these Han family members who had never seen Gao Siya saw her for the first time, all they could think of was...
Deeply stunning!
You should know that there is a concept of Confucian cultivation in the world of Eight Desolations. Unlike normal cultivators who cultivate magical powers, Confucian cultivators cultivate righteous indignation.
It is said that heaven and earth are vast and righteousness lasts forever.
The great and righteous energy is the nemesis of all evil powers and evil things in the world!
Its effect is comparable to the evil-repelling divine thunder in a certain "Taoist Cultivation Biography".
Of course, this does not mean that evil spirits have no temper towards the righteous energy.
In fact, the righteous energy has no power below the Nascent Soul stage, and is even far inferior to the spells and magic weapons of cultivators of the same level.
Only after one’s cultivation advances to the Nascent Soul stage can one’s righteous energy be truly transformed and exert its effectiveness as the “demon slayer.”
At the same time, after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, the Confucian cultivator who has cultivated a righteous spirit will also experience a great change in temperament.
It often gives people a feeling of being righteous, upright, and inviolable.
But now...
There is no awe-inspiring righteousness or inviolability to be seen in this Grand Tutor Gao Siya, only a peerless beauty that makes her look like a fairy descended from the earth.
There is also that voluptuous and charming body, and the skin exposed at the neckline of the silk skirt. Under the light, it reflects a delicate and white luster, like soft jade.
Such a delicate body makes people unable to help but imagine what an ultimate experience it would be to hold such a warm and soft jade in their arms!
This legendary scholar was not only charming in appearance, but also in his performance at the banquet.
Dignified, elegant, ladylike, even a little reserved and shy.
Just like at this moment, she was talking quietly with the prince who was sitting in the main seat and was in charge of the reception.
It is said that this Grand Tutor is the mentor of the Crown Prince, but for some reason, he behaves so reserved in front of the Crown Prince.
I didn't even know what the prince said, and occasionally I could see him smile shyly.
The Han family members who were accompanying the guests naturally had no idea that Han Mo was actually just chatting with Gao Siya about family matters and reminiscing about his past life in the palace.
For Han Mo today, he was naturally filled with amazement when he saw Gao Siya for the first time.
I finally understood why Han Mo in the game had such evil thoughts about Gao Siya, who was both his teacher and mother.
Apart from anything else, just her beauty, figure, and temperament would be fascinating to any normal man.
However, Han Mo, who is familiar with the plot, will naturally not pester the woman as he does in the game, and finally even get angry and drug her.
In order to avoid this big pit, Han Mo naturally would not pursue Gao Siya.
Because he knew very well what Gao Siya, a peerless scholar who advocated benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, hated the most?
Naturally, the students’ filial piety has deteriorated.
Therefore, Han Mo would naturally not behave in any unreasonable or frivolous manner in front of her.
Of course, this does not mean that Han Mo wants to break off all ties with Gao Siya and cut off all contact.
As the other party's student, I can still make good use of this relationship.
Even if he could successfully avoid Gao Siya's disastrous ending and become friends with her.
She can also use her identity as the Crown Prince's tutor to gain the upper hand in the plot of the imperial capital and even reap a lot of benefits.
Therefore, Han Mo just talked to him purely as a junior.
The reason why the other party behaved reserved and shy was perhaps because he felt embarrassed to be wearing such bright clothes in front of students.
Therefore, Han Mo believed that their first meeting in Yifeng City was a pure teacher-student friendship without any impurities.
However, this is just Han Mo's own opinion.
To outsiders, at least to Su Mengyao, this is not the case.
At this moment, in the banquet hall, Su Mengyao was sitting quietly in a corner with a glass of wine, but she was staring at a certain tutor who was chatting and laughing with Han Mo.
