Chapter 211 It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge
Today there was a county school lecture. There was some free time before Mr. went to class, and students gathered in twos and threes to chat. Fang Yingwu felt that Minglun Hall was stuffy, so he walked to the door with Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian and stood there.
Talking on the platform in front of the hall.
While talking, Fang Yingwu looked left and right. When he watched a classmate from the county school enter Minglun Hall, he sighed: "The people's hearts are broken, and it is difficult to lead the team."
Hong Song asked curiously: "What's wrong? Why do you sigh like this?"
Fang Yingwu pointed at the classmates who entered the door and said: "According to my observation, when the classmates passed by here a few days ago, two-thirds of them would clasp their fists and salute me, but today the proportion is only half. Isn't it okay?
Am I worried?"
Hong Song couldn't help but count with his fingers, and then he said angrily: "Two-thirds means two out of three, and half means two out of four. How much difference can the ratio have? Fang Xiandi is so hypocritical!"
Fang Yingwu sighed, "The difference is not important. What is important is that it reflects the downward trend. This is big data. You can tell by seeing the smallest details. Do you understand?"
Hong Song then turned to Xiang Chengxian, who was relatively silent today, and asked: "Brother Fang Xian is a man of his own opinions, and he has seen the world outside. He has his own ideas about the marriage. Do you need to tell me what kind of marriage? Now I
Looking for humiliation has greatly reduced people's popularity, and made Fang Xiandi completely worried and worried!"
Xiang Chengxian had no choice but to say, "I know my mistake! Today I know why it is so easy to become an enemy by being a matchmaker! From now on, if I am not completely sure, I will never play matchmaker with anyone again!"
Hong Song asked again: "Why did the He family regret it?"
Xiang Chengxian replied in detail: "Isn't there an elder in the He family who came to Beijing to serve as the young minister of Taichang Temple? Recently, the He family has heard rumors. So they are worried that marrying Fang Xian's younger brother will antagonize the chief minister Wan'an and affect that person.
He Shaoqing’s future, so I sent word that we will not talk about this marriage.”
"The He family is really short-sighted!" Mr. Hong couldn't help but scolded him.
Fang Yingwu suddenly thought of a question. Shen Xun did nothing. He only made a few poses and made all sorts of trivial noises. Was this unintentional or intentional?
If Shen Xunjian did it deliberately and had this idea in mind, it would be terrible. Did he want to stop him quietly and wait for him to get into trouble?
Now it seems that there are already signs of this. Will the sharp drop in his prestige affect the annual examination in a few days? Fang Yingwu is a little worried.
At least 70 or 80 people participated in the county school year-end examination. As the saying goes, there is no first place in literature. Who is convinced by whom? So we still have to fight. There are fair ways to say it is fair, and there are unfair ways to say it is unfair.
There are roughly two ways to get an ideal ranking in the annual exam. The first is to write the article so well that others have to be convinced and can't say anything.
The other type is a top student who can control the situation. He can get to the front even if he has almost no articles, and relies on his prestige. Others dare not deny him the top spot. Onlookers also don't dare to make a fuss about it.
Fang Yingwu planned to take the second approach. The situation was originally very optimistic, but after Shen Xun pressed him like this, the situation immediately became less optimistic.
Every time he thinks about this, Fang Yingwu can't help but curse a few words in his mind, the damn patrol officer won't come sooner or later, why does he come at this moment?
Shen Xun used this move. It can be said that there is no move to win, and there is no way to defend against it. Fang Daxiucai felt that he had no strength but nowhere to use it. He asked casually: "You said, after Xu Huai heard the news.
Will he go back to the county school to take the annual exam?"
"Definitely!" Xiang Chengxian replied resolutely. Seeing that Xiang Chengxian answered so affirmatively, Hong Song couldn't help but wonder: "Why?"
Mr. Xiang pointed at the County Xueyi Gate and said, "Because he has already arrived."
Fang Yingwu and Hong Song both turned to look back, and sure enough they saw Xu Huai, the former top student, strutting through the gate and waving to the trio at the door coquettishly.
"You really are a bad person and can't be moved," Fang Yingwu said with emotion.
This Xu Huai must have come here to take advantage of the opportunity. As long as he is unlucky in the annual examination, he can find a way to replace his junior student quota. Will he be unlucky in the annual examination? God knows.
But when it was time to lecture on the scriptures, Meng Jiaoyu also entered the Minglun Hall. Before explaining the meaning of the scriptures, he shouted to a group of students: "There is something important that needs to be told to you. It is related to the annual examination. Please listen carefully!" "
The New Year's Examination is the biggest event currently facing us. All the students immediately held their breaths and listened to Meng Jiaoyu's words.
"This year's annual examination is scheduled for three days later. It happens that the imperial envoy Shen Xun is in the county. Mr. Shen is a senior in the examination room and has a distinguished reputation. I would like to invite him to be the chief examiner of the annual examination. He will use the education of Guangda County to highlight the imperial court. Rewatch!”
Asking Shen Xun to take the county school yearly examination? This news was unexpected, and there was a lot of discussion among the students, with different expressions on their faces.
Some have expressionless faces, which must mean that no matter who takes the exam, they must be fooling around. In the county school, they are just hanging around, free of money, food, taxes and preferential treatment;
Some are slightly overjoyed. This must be because they are boasting that their talents are not recognized, the world is unfair, and they think that if they change the examiner, they will have a chance to succeed;
Some frowned. This must be because they had already made up their mind beforehand and were determined not to change the examiner. They might have turned a blind eye to their little tricks, but how could Shen Xun press do this?
Fang Yingwu was one of those people who frowned. He couldn't help but sigh, everything has been going wrong recently, bad news has come one after another, and even the worst situation has happened!
With the majesty of the censor, and because he does not need to be in the small county school ecosystem like the imperial edict, does he care whether he is a top student or not?
I am dissatisfied and dissatisfied, but there is really no reason to criticize and stop Meng Jiaoyu. This approach is like appointing various honorary principals, honorary doctorates, etc. to schools in the 21st century. It is not a deviant behavior and is understandable in a contemporary era full of worship of scientific names. .
It’s still the same question. Did Meng Jiaoyu ask for it, or did Shen Xunxian ask for it on his own initiative? But the answer seems to be unimportant. What’s important is that the annual exam is going to be a scam.
He Fang Yingwu worked hard to become a student scholar, and he had the possibility of passing the annual examination after many hardships, but under the strong pressure, was there nothing he could do?
If the person who comes is not good, the good person will not come. Shen Xunjian does not even have to do anything deliberately. As long as he judges the case fairly, it is enough to brush him off. The evil will not overpower the good. If the article is not good, even if he comes up with other tricks to turn the tables, it will not work. No matter how confident you are, you will still be asking for humiliation.
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. Either his writing skills were insufficient, otherwise he would be fearless. How could he be afraid? The old saying is true, opportunism is not a long-term solution.
Even if he passes the annual examination by chance, how can he get away with the provincial examination that gathers the elites from the whole province? How can he get by with the national examination that gathers the elites from all over the world? At that time, who will take huge risks to help him cheat in the exam? His father is just a Ci Chen Hanlin is not a bachelor of Zaifu!
After Fang Yingwu figured it out, he learned from the pain. He stood up to the wall for thousands of years. Without desire, he is strong. It is because he is greedy for fame and progress because he clearly has a weak foundation, so he is caught in a sore spot! If he is self-aware and does not ask for the annual test, and
Why fear him?
As the saying goes, if you don't break, you don't build. A person should make prompt decisions. In this situation, it's time for a strong man to cut off his arms!
If you are still spending time in the county school, it will be a waste of energy and time. Instead of persisting to the end and being kicked out of the world and being embarrassed in the end, it is better to just quit!
At least if it spreads, you can plausibly say that you are worried that the examiner will be unfair to you. Therefore, you can show your integrity by giving up the exam, and maybe your reputation will increase.
From now on, it will be three years of gathering together and three years of lessons. Only after enduring hardship can you become a master! From now on, you must make up your mind to overcome all difficulties and study hard behind closed doors for three years. Come back during the next imperial examination!
I don’t know who will win in the end if I am exempted from the provincial examination that I have scheduled this time. With a little sentimentality, a little helplessness, and a little passion, Fang Yingwu stood up proudly and walked out the door like a winner.
Meng Jiaoyu raised his head and asked: "Fang Yingwu, what are you going to do?"
Fang Yingwu clasped his fists in greeting and said, "I feel overwhelmed by the recent disturbances and have withdrawn from this year's examination! I specifically ask for leave from my husband and go home!"
Everyone was shocked, and there was an uproar in the hall, which was even louder than when Meng Jiaoyu announced that Shen Xunjing would be the examiner of the annual examination.
No one would have thought that Fang Yingwu, a prominent figure in recent times, who has been playing the role of a pig, eating a tiger, and breaking off an engagement, would openly say that he would give up the exam!
What does he mean by this? Is he using self-sacrifice to protest Shen Xun's injustice to him? Or is it a strategy to deal with an unfavorable situation?
However, Fang Yingwu did not give an explanation. After asking Meng Jiao for leave, he left the county school without looking back. That night Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian visited Fang Yingwu together, but they saw that Fang Yingwu was really cleaning up.
Bags and books packed with you!
Mr. Hong snatched the things from Yingwu's hands and questioned: "Are you openly giving up the exam to show resistance? There may be some heroism, but it has no practical effect. You can't kill one enemy even if you lose eight hundred."
thousand!
In the end, the impact on the inspection will be minimal, so don’t be impulsive, just continue taking the exam and see the results before we talk about anything else."
Xiang Chengxian also advised: "This must be Brother Fang Xian's strategy of retreating in order to stir up public controversy about imperial envoys harassing students preparing for exams? But Brother Yu feels that it has no effect on the inspections, so Brother Fang Xian needs to think again.
It should be noted that the patrol censor is an imperial envoy of the imperial court and has great authority. Unless heaven is angry with people and humans and gods are angry, no matter how loud the local public opinion is, it will not be able to shake the patrol censor in the slightest. All your calculations will be in vain. "
Fang Yingwu sighed while packing his bags: "Brothers, you are worrying too much. I really want to give up the exam this time. Then I will go to Juanju Academy and study hard behind closed doors for three years under the supervision of Prime Minister Shang. In addition, I wish you all the best."
My two brothers have won the top rankings in Jinke Township High School!"
Xiang Chengxian and Hong Song looked at each other, "Do you really think so? Do you really have nothing else on your mind?"
"No!" Fang Yingwu said resolutely, "I am only eighteen years old, and I will only be twenty-one in three years. The future is long, and there is nothing I can't afford to wait for. Why must I participate in this subject? What's more, a gentleman's revenge,
It’s not too late in ten years, I will repay Shen Xun’s generous gift in the future!”
Hong Song let out a long sigh, "I thought that you and I, brothers, could work together to enter the provincial examination hall, but if you don't want to, we have to go our separate ways. But brother Fang Xian, don't leave in a hurry. The two of us will have some free time after the examination is completed the next day.
I’ll see you off then.”
Fang Yingwu nodded and agreed. Since he had made up his mind to study hard for three years, it would not be too late to spend these two days. It would not be too late to congratulate the two friends before they leave. (To be continued...
