Fang Qingzhi felt very strange about Fang Yingwu's reaction, as if his son suddenly changed into a different person. According to what he saw, his son liked to talk a lot (at least in private), and there was nothing wrong with current political figures.
I dare not say, why did you change your temper today?
In fact, Editor Fang only saw the surface and did not touch on the inside. Fang Yingwu did talk loudly and scolded Fang Qiu at every turn, but that was not a waste of words - either it was to achieve a purpose that required him to comment; or to publish
Discussion can be beneficial, such as building an image or gaining fame.
But why does Fang Yingwu need to express his opinion on this matter? In the final analysis, it is just the death of a barbarian leader. For the Celestial Kingdom, this is very important? Can it be more important than being able to try this kind of talent promotion ceremony?
What's more, the death of the young Khan has become a fait accompli. No matter how the court views it, whether it recognizes this as a merit or not, the dead man will not live. The courtiers are quarreling, and it doesn't matter what the outcome of the quarrel is. There is really no need for other parties to support them.
Which side, there is no need.
Fang Yingwu thought for a while and then said: "When people ask me again, they just say that I am concentrating on preparing for the exam and have no time to think about trivial matters." This excuse is very weighty. In the country, the world is not as big as the exam.
"I know." Fang Qingzhi nodded, but still hesitated to leave.
Fang Yingwu raised the book in his hand, implying that he would study hard and diligently. Father, please leave and stop watching here, otherwise he will not be able to continue reading.
But Fang Qingzhi still hesitated. After a while, he gritted his teeth and took out a stack of paper from his wide sleeves. He gently placed it on the table in front of Fang Yingwu. Then Fang Qingzhi became expressionless again.
The figure drifted back and took a few steps away.
"This is..." Fang Yingwu was puzzled. He lowered his head and looked at it. It was a stack of articles. Judging from the thickness, there must be twenty or thirty articles.
"These are articles written by my predecessors. I copied a few copies for you. You may be able to read them when you are free. It may be helpful." Fang Qingzhi said calmly, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Fang Yingwu lowered his head and flipped through the pages again. There was not a single signature in it. Whose article was it? At this moment of intense review, why should he read these articles without beginning or end?
Thinking of his father's identity, Fang Yingwu suddenly realized. These articles in his hands are definitely the most precious review materials!
You must know that writing is not the best, and everyone's writing tastes are also very different. Some people like simple ones, some like gorgeous ones, and some like fresh ones. It doesn't matter to ordinary people, but it matters a lot to examiners.
Therefore, a very important task before the examination is to figure out the examiner's writing style and hobbies. If you can write in the examiner's favorite writing style during the examination, the chance of writing Chinese style will naturally be greatly increased. This is one of the secrets of the imperial examination.
Some people have a high level of knowledge and can understand things deeply; some people have a shallow level of knowledge and can only catch the wind and shadows.
According to custom, most of the examiners for the Hanlin Academy came from the Hanlin Academy. At this tense time before the exam, Fang Qingzhi suddenly brought dozens of articles by senior Hanlin Academy scholars to Fang Yingwu to read. The meaning was self-evident.
How could someone as smart as Fang Yingwu fail to guess? These articles are all articles written by potential examiners. It will be of course beneficial to read carefully the writing style! It can be said that if these dozens of articles are sold, even if they sell for hundreds
Some people will ask for the two-day price.
Fang Yingwu thought again. Although the examiner has not been announced yet, there may have been rumors within the Hanlin Academy. With his father's upright character, it is normal that he does not want to engage in malpractice for personal gain and leak rumors. He copied dozens of articles to help with review.
This is the limit of what he can do. It's not easy, it's really not easy. Isn't this the unspoken rule of the Hanlin officials that they get the first-come-first-served?
"Thank you, father." Fang Yingwu said solemnly and from the bottom of his heart. He could imagine how much determination it took to do such a thing with his father's integrity.
It's okay that Fang Yingwu didn't thank him, but this thank you made Fang Qingzhi a little embarrassed, as if he had done something embarrassing. Especially because he had set a bad example in front of his son, and his morals were stained.
, how can we convince others with virtue in the future?
Fang Qingzhi kept sighing in his heart, the world is difficult, the country will not be a country outside, and the father will not be a father at home.
At this time, a doorman suddenly reported loudly outside the house: "Master! There is someone visiting outside the door. His general name is Xiang Chengxian. He says he is a friend from the village!"
When Fang Yingwu heard this, he quickly ordered: "Haosheng is waiting for you! Wait until I go out to greet you!"
Last year, he and Xiang Chengxian won the exam together, and they agreed to go to Chunwei together this year. Now there are only ten days left before the exam, and there has been no news from Xiang Chengxian. Fang Yingwu thought that Xiang Chengxian was not coming.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Chengxian arrived at the last minute.
Fang Qingzhi also knew Xiang Chengxian. They were both students in Chun'an County back then, but Xiang Chengxian entered school a few years later than him. He took the initiative and said, "As a father, I will go with you to meet people."
Fang Yingwu stopped when he heard this and looked troubled, "Father, why don't you come forward?"
Fang Qingzhi was very dissatisfied with his son's dissuasion, and said sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about? An old friend came to visit me, but my father avoided seeing me. Wouldn't it make others think that I am a snobbery by nature, and would not recognize my old friend when I got an official position?"
Fang Yingwu hesitated to speak, shook his head and went out with his father to greet the guests. When he arrived at the gate, he saw four or five people waiting, all of whom were dusty. Xiang Chengxian, whom he hadn't seen for several months, was talking to his disciples.
Most of the people were probably domestic slaves brought by him.
"Brother Xiang, long time no see. How are you?" Fang Yingwu greeted from a distance.
Here Xiang Chengxian raised his head and saw the Fang family father and son coming to greet him, but he did not dare to be too big, so he quickly took the initiative to take a few steps forward and met with the Fang family father and son.
But Xiang Chengxian's mouth opened and closed again and again, but he couldn't spit out a word. The person in front of him was Fang Qingzhi, and next to him was Fang Yingwu. How should he greet each other and exchange greetings?
If we start from the county school, Fang Qingzhi entered the county school a few years earlier than him and was an old classmate. They participated in the provincial examination together in the 13th year of Chenghua. However, Fang Yingwu entered the county school a few years later than him and can be regarded as a
Classmates, we took the provincial examination together last year and won the examination together in the same year.
In other words, with the Fang family father and son standing here, Xiang Chengxian and any one of them can stand shoulder to shoulder and call each other brothers...
But if he calls Fang Qingzhi his brother, then Fang Yingwu, who he once fooled around with, will become his junior, which is really embarrassing; if he meets Fang Yingwu's brother, then wouldn't Fang Qingzhi, his former classmate, become his junior again?
His elders?
No matter which choice he made, Xiang Chengxian felt very embarrassed. He didn't expect to encounter such a scene before coming here, and he was really sad... In the end, it was all Fang Yingwu's fault for jumping out too fast.
Fang Yingwu squinted at his father, "I told you to get out of the way, but you didn't listen. Now you are putting your guests in a difficult situation."
A father is not a father, Fang Qingzhi sighed again. He looked at his son, then at Xiang Chengxian, and could only say hello, "There will be a time when the green mountains are no longer green and the water will flow forever", and then ran away in despair - On the topic
Regarding the relationship, my son and Xiang Chengxian were ranked in the same year and in the same year, but they are closer, so let’s focus on the son.
After watching his father leave, Fang Yingwu spoke more casually, "Why are you here today? I almost thought you wouldn't come to take the exam today."
"I was delayed for a while on the road, otherwise I would have arrived years ago."
Fang Yingwu asked again: "Do you have a place to live? If you don't mind, I can still squeeze in here."
Xiang Chengxian chuckled and said: "That's what I meant! I wanted to find a few rooms to stay in the guild hall, but I didn't know that when I arrived a few days later, all the houses were full of people, so I came to join you. You are here
If there is no more room, I will go and stay with my uncle from the Hong family." Another good friend of theirs, Hong Song, has an uncle named Hong Tingchen, who is now working as a foreign minister in the Ministry of Justice.
Fang Yingwu took the whole package and said, "I still have two or three free rooms in the courtyard over there. I'll ask my family to clear them out. You can stay here."
So Xiang Chengxian took his slaves and lived in Fang Yingwu's house, and the two talked all night long. The next day, Xiang Chengxian rested for another day and regained his energy. But the next day, Fang Yingwu went to
When I looked for Xiang Chengxian, I was told by the domestic slave who was left behind that he had gone out.
Fang Yingwu murmured a few times, this young master really can't sit still. He is also restless at home when the exam comes. He is probably going out to visit relatives and friends now. (To be continued...)
ps: The monthly tickets will be doubled tomorrow. In order to gather votes by then, I am writing the article now...
