There was an elegant elder named Cui Wenzhao, from the Cui Family in Lincang, currently serving as the Director of the Rituals Department.
Cui Wenzhao wore a moon-white scholar's robe, with a gauze cap on his head, a golden ribbon around his waist, and a ring and pendant on the right side, a Gentleman's Long Sword on the left.
After standing up, he first bowed to the high screen, then cupped his hands and bowed to Lu Zhiyuan.
After the ceremony, he leisurely said, "Rituals are about restraining oneself and knowing action through adherence to etiquette, that is the mark of a gentleman."
Lu Zhiyuan sneered.
"When did Cui Sheng become a gentleman?"
Embarrassment flashed across Cui Wenzhao's face, knowing that Lu Zhiyuan was subtly referring to the time in Lincang during their academic debate when Cui secretly went to the Inspectorate to report because he couldn't win the argument.
