After finishing the conversation with the county magistrate, Fang Yingwu walked out of the second hall of the county government office and sighed. From the perspective of hindsight, he was a little impatient. This did not mean that the talks between him and Magistrate Wang had collapsed. On the contrary, they had reached an agreement.
There is a tacit understanding and intention, but the meaning is different.
He told Magistrate Wang that he should change from being passive to taking the initiative, changing from waiting at the door to actively going out, occupying the position of public opinion, cultivating and supporting his own mouthpiece, and being good at image planning and packaging...
Wait, wait, wait, talk a lot, speak very thoroughly, and speak very straightforwardly. In the end, the result was that although Magistrate Wang gave in half due to the temptation of reputation, the warm and friendly exchanges turned into naked mutual use. This
It is obvious that he has made a deep connection with others.
The deeper the relationship is, the more profound the words can be said. If the relationship is not deep, there are some things that cannot be said. You have to be polite when you should be polite, and pay attention to the sense of proportion. If the relationship is too direct and explicit, it will appear to be utilitarian; if the relationship is deep, you should be polite.
, then some things should be said directly. If you don't say it in a secretive way, it would be hypocrisy.
Fang Yingwu silently reflected that he was a bit like a child showing off his candy, he couldn't help but pour out everything he had come up with. He lacked the control over the heat, and lacked the calmness of spring breeze and rain to moisten things silently.
He realized at this moment that it was his overconfidence that drove him to choose the quick success approach. Although he impressed Wang Zhixian in the shortest time, it made his image in his heart a bit lower. His inner feelings and favorability
It should have gone down. In the future, you should still pay attention to these details and propriety in interpersonal interactions.
However, Fang Yingwu regrets it, but does not regret it. Everything has gains and losses. If he wants to urgently change the current situation of life, he has to do this. He has no capital to procrastinate and slow down.
Fang Yingwu left the county government office with the five taels of silver that Magistrate Wang generously helped him with - which was used to reward talents for studying. When he passed by the gatekeeper of Yimen, Xu Menzi "kindly" told him that there were two groups of subordinates just now.
People came to inquire about the news and confirmed the news that he had gone in to see the magistrate.
Fang Yingwu knew very well that he must have carried it out to the county magistrate last night as a talisman. Some people took notice and sent someone to confirm the situation. However, he had no intention of staying in the county seat any longer. In the next three or four months, he would
My main task is to study hard, review my homework, and wait for the county examination in the fall.
After walking a ten-mile mountain road under the sunshine at the end of April, Fang Yingwu returned to Shanghuaxi Village. Outside the village, he met many villagers who were working in the fields.
At this time, Fang Yingwu clearly felt that the villagers' attitude towards him was very different from before. When others saw him, they would always respectfully call him "little husband" and then pay attention, as if they had enjoyed the treatment of a scholar in advance. Think about it.
, most likely it was the villagers who returned to the village first who exaggerated his deeds in the county government.
To the villagers in the mountains, the county magistrate was an awe-inspiring and unattainable big shot. Fang Yingwu was able to talk to the county magistrate without being humble or arrogant, and was appreciated by the county magistrate. At the same time, he could easily win over an old man like Tan Gongdao.
The yamen servant was completely thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. Of course it was extraordinary. It was beyond their imagination. He was worthy of being a scholar.
Fortunately, when Fang Yingwu was in the county seat, he did not reveal to the clan members that he was received privately by the county magistrate, otherwise it would have caused even more of a sensation.
Back home, faced with the embarrassment of a poor family, Fang Yingwu discovered that studying was not an easy task. If he wanted to continue on the road to the imperial examination, it was necessary to review the classics and meanings from time to time, but the two shabby books at home were all true to words.
, are of no use, the imperial examination does not test these. Not to mention his family, the whole village may not be able to collect a few sage books.
If it's time for the exam, it's okay to ask the tribesmen to raise money for writing, ink, travel expenses, etc., but don't bother them at ordinary times. Although I do have five taels of silver in my hand, I have to keep it as exam expenses, so I'd better save it now.
Well ordered.
After much deliberation, only the social school in Huaxi Village in the neighboring village has books to read. But Fang Yingwu has no interest in continuing to take classes in the social school. It is embarrassing to be a classmate with a group of teenage children.
Seven years was enough. So he just wanted to borrow books from the social studies teacher and go home and review them slowly.
Chun'an County is known as a country famous for literature, so the social studies education is pretty good. Even in remote mountain villages like Huaxi, social studies have been set up specifically for the enlightenment of young children in Shangzhongxiahuaxi Village. Thanks to this, Fang Yingwu was able to
Dare to say in front of the magistrate, "I have studied all four books".
However, no scholar is willing to serve as a private school teacher in a poor local school like Huaxi. Therefore, the teacher of Huaxi Social School is currently only an old boy named Wang from Zhonghuaxi Village where he is located. He is also a relative of a big family in the same village. He is honored by everyone within a ten-mile radius.
Just say Mr. Wang.
The sun was setting in the west. Fang Yingwu saw his cousin Fang Yingyuan entering the courtyard from the window, so he waved him over and asked: "Is Mr. Wang in social studies these days? I want to borrow books from him.
.”
Fang Yingyuan somehow felt inexplicable awe for his increasingly unfamiliar cousin, and answered truthfully: "They are all here. But my cousin was kicked out by Mr. Wang, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to borrow books."
Isn't it because his uncle is causing trouble and he owes some money for repairs? Fang Yingwu thought, go and ask first, if there is really nothing you can do, you might as well give some gifts. I'm afraid that the five taels of silver presented by the county magistrate will come in handy.
, a little break would probably be enough to get rid of the money-hungry and stingy Mr. Wang.
Another day passed, Fang Yingwu really couldn't think of any other way, so he had to go to Zhonghuaxi Village with his cousin. Fang Yingyuan went to social studies, while Fang Yingwu went to Mr. Wang's house to discuss borrowing books.
Outside the courtyard, I saw the courtyard door ajar, with Fang Yingwu standing in front of it, raising his hand and about to knock on the door. Suddenly, the courtyard door opened from the inside, and a figure rushed out, with a slight fragrance and a choking sound.
Hit it.
Fang Yingwu was caught off guard and was knocked upright. He subconsciously reached out and hugged a soft body. Realizing that this was a young and plump woman, Fang Yingwu felt that the three inches under his belly were almost reflexive.
He's ready to move. As expected of an extremely sensitive boy's body, he can get on almost instantly.
But Fang Yingwu finally helped the other party and took two steps back. He immediately recognized her as Mr. Wang's daughter Lan Jieer, who was three or four years older than him. She had known her since she was a child in social studies.
Later, after Sister Lan got married and moved to Xiahuaxi Village, she didn’t see her often. I don’t know why she showed up at her parents’ home again today. It seems like it’s not the time to go back to her parents’ home during the holidays these days.
After searching his memory, Fang Yingwu was shocked to discover that this Sister Lan was actually another Fang Yingwu's childhood dream lover. No wonder her body reacted so strongly at that moment.
At this moment, Wang Lan's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously just cried. In order to prevent her from getting more embarrassed about cuddling, Fang Yingwu took the initiative to salute and asked, "Why is Sister Lan crying?"
Unexpectedly, before asking, Wang Lan's tears fell again, and she covered her face with her hands and sobbed intermittently. She stood in the doorway blocking the way, so Fang Yingwu couldn't get in, so she could only stand helpless outside the door and watch.
She cried. She really didn’t understand what was happening and there was nothing she could do to persuade her.
When Fang Yingwu was scratching his head, another cold snort came from behind his ears. He turned around and saw that it was the young lady from Wang Da's family.
It is no coincidence that Miss Wang appears here. She entered Zhonghuaxi Village from Fang Yingwu. Someone saw her and went to Wang Da's house to report the news. There is always a shortage of flatterers in this world. That's why Miss Wang showed up in time.
, saw this ambiguous scene accurately.
"Brother Qiu, you have disappointed the slave family so much. Don't expect me to put in a good word for you in the future!" After Mrs. Wang angrily accused her, she turned around and left angrily, just as neatly as the previous times.
She was so angry that Fang Yingwu would rather tease the widow than look down on her? In what way is she inferior to Sister Lan?
Fang Yingwu sighed, he seemed to have seen her three times, and every time she turned around and left angrily. This little lady has such a bad temper, and she loves to get angry. But this time it was really an extremely bloody misunderstanding, and only the last
Only old-fashioned TV dramas would create scenes like this.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously shouted to his back: "Miss Wang, please listen to my explanation!"
After shouting, he regretted it. Fang Yingwu couldn't help but give himself a small mouth, "What are you talking about? It's not a husband and wife, it's a debt relationship at most. What should I explain to her?"
Turning his head again, Fang Yingwu noticed that Sister Lan opposite was dressed in pretty white. She was clearly wearing a mourning dress. Judging from the style of the mourning dress, her husband must have died. Moreover, the style of the mourning dress was quite old, and the corners were worn. Look.
Been wearing it for a while.
At this time, her beautiful and attractive face looked so pity when she cried, and her appearance, which was sixty-seven points, turned into eighty-nine points. Fang Yingwu also noticed that the plump outline of her chest was trembling, she could act as a
The lover of other people's dreams really has real money.
Fang Yingwu silently recited a few words about the virtue of a gentleman, struggled to look back, and finally understood why Mrs. Wang was so angry after seeing this scene.
There are many disputes in front of a widow's door, and there are more disputes in front of a pretty widow's door. If there is a handsome man in front of a pretty widow's door, there will be more disputes and more disputes. She happened to be standing in front of this door. No wonder Miss Wang misunderstood.
Fang Yingwu looked around guiltily. There seemed to be people pointing in the distance. In order to avoid further escalation of the situation, he wanted to run away. However, he saw Master Wang coming out of the room, standing behind Wang Lan and yelling:
"You are an unfilial daughter. If your husband died and you didn't observe the rites, do you still have the thoughts to flirt with others here?"
Wang Lan became more and more grief-stricken, squatting on the ground and crying loudly. Fang Yingwu vaguely understood something, and realized that Sister Lan was not crying for her husband at this time, but there seemed to be another hidden reason.
Seeing the woman weeping, he couldn't bear it. After all, he had known her since childhood, Fang Yingwu persuaded Master Wang: "This is my daughter. Mr. Wang has something to say, so why bother hurting others with harsh words."
Teacher Wang said angrily: "What does it have to do with me to discipline my daughter? What are you doing here? Are you trying to destroy my daughter's chastity?"
This man is simply unreasonable! Fang Yingwu was so angry that he was about to walk away. At this time, two more servants ran over quickly and shouted from a distance: "Young master of the Fang family! My master has invited you!"
Needless to say, the only person in Zhonghuaxi Village who can be called a master is Wang Dahu. Fang Yingwu didn't want to see the creditor, so he smiled bitterly at the two servants and said, "Can I not go?"
One of the servants replied honestly: "My master has given orders. If Mr. Fang refuses to come, he will be kidnapped and brought to him by force."

Sorry, sorry, because I haven't thought about the follow-up plot, and I haven't posted this chapter, so I made a mistake last night. I owe you a chapter now, so I will make up for it tonight.
