Most of the people present were just envious of the object, but a few smart people had noticed something unusual. Especially the person in charge, Zhou Yuan, frowned tightly. He was very confused as to what the object was.
people?
He knew very well that this year's courtesan, Yuan Fengxiao, was an extremely utilitarian and realistic woman. Now that she suddenly became attentive to her husband, something must have happened.
Otherwise, with Yuan Huakui's snobbish nature, he would never have this attitude. Therefore, this Fang Yingwu is definitely a person who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger!
I thought everything was under control at this gathering, but unexpectedly a big change occurred. Zhou Yuan didn't know what it was like. He walked up to him, and the other party said in response: "What is the origin of friend Fang? Are you planning to hide it?"
Should I wait?"
Fang Yingwu smiled and said, "Why should you care about a man from the mountains and plains of Chun'an?" Zhou Yuan was dissatisfied with this answer and continued to ask: "Now that things have happened, your Excellency has hidden his head and exposed his tail. This is definitely not the behavior of a gentleman."
Fang Yingwu shook the fan in his hand, smiled again, and said: "I am a Confucian scholar, and I am not good at calligraphy and art. My heart is always around the world, and my body is like a blue cloud. I have offered peace policies, and I want to be a man of peace."
With two dragon swords in my sleeves, I can conquer thousands of troops from the north!"
"Arrogant, garrulous, and shameless." Someone commented coldly. Everyone followed the voice and saw that it was Shao Chen, Mr. Shao who was supposed to be today's protagonist.
Among the people who participated in the gathering, who couldn’t see that the West Lake Poetry Society wanted to praise the newcomer Shao’s friend? It’s just that the West Lake Poetry Society took advantage of the host, so everyone accepted it. Now this little brother Fang has suddenly emerged, which has annoyed Shao Xiao
It is to be expected that the young master is unhappy. After all, scholars often have conflicts of temper, so it is not surprising.
However, although Mr. Shao's comments are harsh, they cannot be said to be completely unreasonable.
A young scholar who just came out of a small mountainous county. He is no more than 20 years old. He is probably only proficient in reading the Four Books and the Five Classics, and can only read the sentence "The heart is always around the world". Everyone has a dream that he aspires to as a young man.
The future is full of expectations.
But "become a king", "offer peace policy", "beiqu ten thousand troops", etc. are used in affirmative or past tense tone, which is really like gibberish that cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality. No wonder
To invite ridicule.
Fang Yingwu glanced at Shao Chen a few times, disdained to argue, and bowed to everyone in an easy and free manner. "Brother Xiang knows if you are talking in your sleep. I have exhausted my fun today, so I will not go to the lake with you. I hope we will see you again later.
Farewell!"
Then, without waiting for anyone to say anything to persuade him to stay, Fang Daxiucai decisively walked away along the lakeshore and walked towards the east side of the city. Distance brings beauty. At the beginning, he was too familiar with him and his image was not tall. It was just right to leave at this time.
Before leaving, Fang Yingwu winked and winked at Xiang Chengxian. As expected of an old friend, Mr. Xiang immediately understood what Fang Yingwu meant. So he did not leave with Fang Yingwu.
It has to be said that Xiang Chengxian understands the other party Yingwu's thoughts very well and has a tacit understanding. He knows that if Fang Yingwu is present, he cannot brag for him in front of him, and Fang Yingwu must be humble.
.Now that Fang Yingwu is no longer here, I can praise him without any scruples.
Looking at Fang Yingwu's stalwart back, Xiang Chengxian sighed to Fu Jiru next to him: "You know, Brother Fang Xian is a generation of wizards in our county. He seems to have made great contributions in the northwest frontier. It is recorded in the imperial edict room of Wenyuan Pavilion in Da Nei.
In the merit book."
Xiang Chengxian turned to Mr. Shao again and explained sincerely: "When I was in Chun'an, I saw with my own eyes that the imperial court issued an edict to ask him for advice. Therefore, these sentences about offering peace policies and conquering thousands of troops in the north are not just dreams.
It’s not a boastful statement, it’s just a reflection of his life.”
The people around him suddenly changed their expressions when they heard this. There are so many talented people in the imperial court, but they actually want to ask him for advice. What an honor! No wonder this person is so extraordinary, he does have extraordinary talents! They have only been living in poverty for ten years. They are still far from it.
.
Unknowingly, everyone gradually formed a circle around Xiang Chengxian, listening to Xiang Chengxian's continued praise. Zhou Yuan, the person in charge of the Yaji, snorted coldly, "Talent comes from talent, but it's a bit arrogant. Don't treat me as such."
Do you take it seriously? Is there anything else worth discussing?"
Xiang Chengxian seemed not to have heard, and continued to talk to everyone: "Fang Yingwu's father is also famous. He is Fang Jieyuan, who took the provincial examination. Now he seems to have entered the Imperial Academy. You must have heard of it."
There was another uproar. Not to mention Jieyuan's status, even a scholar would understand Hanlin's status. He also remembered the identity of teacher Fang Yingwu.
Someone immediately praised: "My friend Fang is not proud of his family background, nor is he proud of his parents. My friend Fang is really a pure gentleman!"
Another person praised: "I am willing to make friends with my generation without any hassle, only to make friends with poetry, and to show my talent. I am like a spring breeze, and I am deeply impressed."
Seeing everyone's attitude, Xiang Chengxian couldn't help but remember a story told by Fang Yingwu: A rich man pretended to be poor, asked a matchmaker to arrange a marriage, and found a woman who didn't mind being poor and loved being rich. After getting married, the woman discovered that her husband
The family was very rich, so he was very touched. At the same time, there was a poor man who pretended to be a rich man and asked a matchmaker to arrange a marriage. When the woman came through, he found out that the husband's family was actually very poor, so he cursed the husband as a liar.
He found that the scene before him was almost the same as that story.
After the gathering, Xiang Chengxian did not return to his residence that night, but ran to Fang Yingwu, looking overjoyed. "I talked about you from time to time on the boat. Although you were not here, you were a topic of conversation.
Although Shao Chen tried his best to write a few poems, they were still lackluster, because I showed you a few more of your Chun'an works that you haven't seen. How helpless Mr. Zhou looked. With things like this, probably
It’s hard to explain to the sponsor.”
"Isn't it that funny?"
"It's funny, but it's not necessarily funny, but after you breathe out, who told them to take advantage of us first?" Xiang Chengxian added: "But didn't your performance today go too far? It's good to vent your anger, but there is no practical use in fighting between emotions.
where."
"How many scholars will attend the provincial examination?" Fang Yingwu asked rhetorically.
"Based on the number of people in previous years, there are only three to five thousand people?"
The rural examination is the most demanding test in the imperial examination, and Wang Shu is the supervisor of the imperial examination this time. If Fang Yingwu really wins the examination, there may be some rumors, such as relying on power for personal gain and fraud. Such rumors are unlikely to happen.
This rumor will appear after every imperial examination, but for those who cherish feathers, they can avoid it if they can.
But if Fang Yingwu had gained a huge reputation in advance, and everyone thought that Fang Yingwu should not be selected, and everyone believed that Fang Yingwu should be selected, then naturally there would be no rumors.
Fame may seem fictitious, but for scholars it is not just a matter of morale, but in many cases it is equivalent to the most practical benefits.
Of course, Scholar Fang not only cherishes his feathers, he really intends to cheat, so he feels guilty and cannot listen to such rumors. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. You
