After Xiang Chengxian left, Fang Yingwu temporarily put aside other people's affairs and worried about his own affairs first before taking care of others! Listening to Liu Mianmian's suggestion, Wang Zhi made a note for himself when recording his merits, but he didn't.
It was appropriate to continue to receive meritorious service. At the same time, the court also felt that it was too outrageous and disrespectful to recite meritorious deeds to a young man who was under twenty and had not yet entered the official service.
There seems to be a contradiction, but this is actually an opportunity to gain reputation! If he took the initiative to resign, wouldn't he show his high integrity and great ambition to the world? Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu was a little excited. This reputation in the world
What a good thing!
It is better to act than to be excited. If you think of something, you must do it. If you don't want to procrastinate, Fang Yingwu immediately puts down paper and picks up a pen in the study room, and he writes quickly.
After only writing a dozen words, Fang Yingwu suddenly realized something, and immediately crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it away. Now he is writing a book to recite his merits. Is this a sign of death?
This matter has only been discussed in the cabinet for a few times, and then Liu Mianhua told him privately. In other words, under normal circumstances, he should not know these things!
But he has submitted a letter to resign, which is tantamount to publicly stating that someone has leaked forbidden secrets to him. This is a serious crime! Even Liu Mianhua will not be able to handle it if he is investigated!
Fang Yingwu patted his head. People really need to be more cautious when they are proud, otherwise they can easily make big mistakes. After secretly warning himself a few words, Fang Yingwu went to the east courtyard to look for his father.
He asked his father to pay attention to the Hanlin Academy. If Wang Zhi's memorial memorial was passed to the Hanlin Academy, he would ask his father to come forward and write a memorial. In this way, both father and son would be happy, and the whole family would benefit...
This not only shows the humility of father and son who are indifferent to fame and fortune. It is also possible that when the emperor is happy, he will credit his father with this contribution. The meat will still rot in the pot.
Without mentioning other things, they said that Fang Yingwu asked Xiang Chengxian to help organize the banquet. It was also to consolidate his status in the world. If you don’t believe it, just take a look. Anyone who can initiate an elegant gathering is not the leader in the circle? If not Li Dongyang
After ten years of keeping the central government open and welcoming guests, can he create a Chaling sect and become the leader of the literary world?
Besides, Mr. Xiang is a restless person anyway, so it’s not a bad thing to let him run errands. Fang Yingwu originally thought it would take a few days to prepare, but he didn’t expect that only two days later, Xiang Chengxian came over and said that everything was ready.
.
This surprised Fang Yingwu. These days, there is no phone or Internet. How can he greet everyone and arrange a meeting place in two days?
Xiang Chengxian explained: "The invitations have been sent out. According to what you said, they are all candidates for the exam. Everyone is in the capital at this time, and they live not far from each other, so it was quick. We only went to Zhejiang
After walking around the guild hall, seven or eight people were invited."
Xiang Chengxian added: "We have hundreds of people rushing to take the exam in Zhejiang, so naturally we can't invite them all. In fact, the number of people doesn't need to be too many. I have invited a total of thirty people this time, mainly including three types. One is from the same county as us.
Juzi. The second is the same year as the provincial examination, and the third is a well-respected celebrity in the province."
These three types of people basically included all representative groups. Fang Yingwu was very satisfied and asked again: "When is the date set?" Xiang Chengxian replied: "I set the date for the elegant banquet on the 26th.
Starting this evening.”
Fang Yingwu was a little confused. "The 27th is the day when the examination results will be released. Is it appropriate to have a gathering on the evening of the 26th?"
Xiang Chengxian continued to explain: "Because of this, we started on the evening of the 26th. You know, the writing of the list started in the early morning of the 27th. No one can be sure of the specific time when the list will be released. So.
We just happened to be having fun on the evening of the 26th while staying up all night waiting for the results to be released. Isn’t it wonderful?
What's more, the place I decided on was Zuixianglou. It was located on Qipan Street, not far from the Ministry of Rites, and I asked your family members to guard the results. As soon as the results were released, the news would come quickly. Whoever graduated from high school would be toasted on the spot.
Composing poems to congratulate you is a grand and romantic occasion."
"Okay! Let's do it like this!" Fang Yingwu thought about that scene. It was indeed quite desirable. Every successful gathering has a theme. This time the theme is the waiting list and the release of the list. Congratulations should be congratulated.
The comfort that deserves comfort.
It also feels a bit like the year-end awards ceremony in my previous life. Of course, as the host, the more brilliant the gathering is, the more his reputation will rise.
However, a few days passed by in a flash, and the time came to February 26. According to traditional rules, the next day was the day when the exam results were released, which attracted worldwide attention.
In the capital, candidates rushing to take the exams are more or less a little strange. In the future, whether they will continue to be local tyrants and benefit the village, or become officials to help the country, it all depends on this moment.
Although the general examination is not the last step, after passing the general examination there is still the palace examination. But as long as you are on the list, it is equivalent to ensuring your Jinshi origin. Because the palace examination half a month later will not eliminate the candidates, it will only confirm the three tripods and the
Just the final ranking.
After noon, Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian arrived at Zuixiang House on Qipan Street early. Although this was a dinner party that would officially start after dark, they had to arrive early to welcome the guests.
As the saying goes, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel... In the evening, Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian stood at the door of Zuixiang Building, looking at each other. It's not that others don't give face, it's that others give too much face.
....
Originally, according to the plan, only thirty people were invited, but now, more than sixty people have come, more than double the plan.
We are all from Zhejiang Province, and we are all in a foreign land in the capital. We should support you when it is time to support us. Now the son of Master Fang, the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the attendant of the East Palace, and the future son-in-law of the court elder want to treat him. No, he is launching an elegant gathering.
This face must be given! So many people who feel they are qualified show up uninvited.
But the biggest problem is that Xiang Chengxian only reserved the second floor and only had about thirty seats, but now there are more than sixty people present.
Fang Yingwu took a few glances at the lobby on the first floor, gritted his teeth and said: "There is no reason to drive people out now. Fortunately, it is not the peak time of the flow of people, so there are not many other customers here. Brother Xiang quickly went to find the store.
The lobby on the first floor has also been booked! I will continue to welcome guests here."
Xiang Chengxian whispered: "This money... is not enough."
Fang Yingwu replied resolutely: "Let's reserve the hall first. Don't worry about the money now!" He didn't believe it. He could be stumped by the money for a banquet. He really couldn't ask Liu Mianhua to advance the dowry in advance.
.....
Xiang Chengxian said nothing and left in response. Fang Yingwu continued to greet the guests. Not long after, a waiter from the store suddenly ran over and said urgently: "Mr. Fang! There are two tables in the lobby with customers sitting in the middle.
If you are willing to give up your place, there is a huge commotion, Mr. Xiang, please come over!"
Fang Yingwu sighed, why are there so many things? No wonder I often heard people say in my previous life that it is really difficult to do anything these days. (To be continued...)
ps: Good news! The two channels of Ren and Du have been opened, and the plot in the future is basically straightened out. Hahaha, everyone is waiting to watch the show!
