Chapter 155 The Flying Leaves and Flowers and the White Silk

Cui Keli opened the curtain and poked his head out of the carriage. Pointing to a fork in the road not far ahead, he said to Li Ye and the others, "Along this branch road for about ten kilometers, we will arrive at the Jimo Villa. I will drop in on an old friend and take him to Penglai."

Li Ye slowed down the speed of his horse, parallel with the carriage. He turned his head and said to Cui Keli, "Is your old friend also a Confucian scholar?"

Cui Keli smiled. "My old friend is the owner of the Jimo Villa, and indeed, he is from the same sect of me. But he is much more powerful than me. He is a Confucian scholar and a good writer, but he succeeds in business and becomes very rich. Confucius has said we should provide education for all people without discrimination, while he learns everything without discrimination. He also learned carpentry in his early years."
