Three hundred and nineteen chapters of which the inside story
Fang Qingzhi was indeed very angry, very angry.
Everyone knows that most of the examiners of the Hanlin Examination come from the Hanlin Academy. The act of secretly collecting the manuscripts of Hanlin officials before the examination is not very gentlemanly, or at least not aboveboard.
Bianxiu Fang was an upright person and would not have done such a thing originally. However, he was provoked time and time again by his son. Seeing that "the father is not the father", in order to re-establish his prestige, he was confused and used his position in a cunning way.
So, I helped my son collect dozens of manuscripts from candidate examiners.
And most of the articles are not widely circulated. For example, the articles written by deputy examiner Wang Xian are all examples of writing practice and have not been circulated.
It was something that everyone knew and I knew, but my son actually copied two sentences and wrote them on the test paper. The person involved saw it and mentioned it to his face. Editor Fang was really embarrassed and blushed!
It's embarrassing. Didn't you let others know that you secretly collected manuscripts? Thinking of this, Fang Qingzhi became angry again, "What on earth are you thinking?"
Fang Yingwu curled his lips, what else could he think? He was going to take the first test. He had to write seven format-oriented articles in one day. It can be said that the time was very tight. How could he have the time to think too much? Of course, he would fill in whatever he could think of.
Use whatever sentence you want.
You know, before the examination, he held dozens of sample essays to practice his skills. In the end, his mind was filled with these, so it was not surprising that he subconsciously copied a few sentences. Besides, he had plagiarized many poems from later generations since time traveling. It became a habit. Thinking of it,
Those two sentences came into use easily...
Fang Qingzhi wanted to continue to get angry, but found that his son was very unusual today and did not talk back. He also listened to the instructions honestly.
This discovery surprised Fang Qingzhi. He was not used to this situation. Instead, he became a little worried...
My son is in such a low mood. Is it possible that he can't bear the setbacks when he is young and successful? He was shocked when he learned that winning the title was just because of other people's misunderstanding and not his true strength?
In this way, Fang Qingzhi suppressed his anger and patiently explained to his son: "As the saying goes, everything depends on man and God will do it. There is also a saying that one-third of the people determine the will of God. So luck is also a part of the exam. You are sure
There is no need to be depressed about this, it is better to have luck than not.
What's more, you are among the three hundred people first. Then you have the chance to get the first place through luck. The ranking in the examination is very random, so don't worry about it."
Fang Yingwu looked up to the sky and sighed, "What a pity! It's better to save this kind of luck for the palace examination. The real benefit is to get a number one scholar. After all, Hui Yuan has no practical meaning, it's just a second-class name, it's really a waste."
A once-in-a-century piece of luck.”
"..." Fang Qingzhi realized again that it was a mistake for him to try to comfort his son - does Hui Yuan, the number one person in the limelight, really need comfort?
I was really out of my mind just now, so I might as well continue talking about the fact that my son copied two sentences to make me look embarrassed.
Fang Yingwu saw that his father's face was not kind. He quickly tried to forgive his father and said, "I just heard from my father that because of seeing those two sentences, Bachelor Wang misunderstood that my test paper was written by an old friend, so he recommended it to the first place?"
In this case, the old friend had also seen the article by Academician Wang, so there was a misunderstanding. In other words, it is very possible that Academician Wang also helped the old friend collect the manuscripts to prepare for the exam? Brother, don’t laugh.
Brother, so father, you don’t have to be ashamed!”
"..." Fang Qingzhi was speechless again, but this fallacy seemed to make sense. But at least he was relieved. Fang Yingwu who is good at explaining like this is a normal Fang Yingwu.
Fang Yingwu suddenly asked again: "Xueshi Wang didn't say who this old friend was?" Fang Qingzhi replied: "I didn't specify who it was, he was probably a fellow countryman or something."
Fang Yingwu felt that the conversation was over. He shook his head and was about to leave, but Fang Qingzhi turned around and asked, "Please help my father think about it, why does Wang Xueshi want to talk to my father about this?"
Fang Yingwu thought for a while and said: "I think there are two reasons. One is that Academician Wang deliberately expressed or asked for credit to his father. Otherwise, how could our Fang family accept his love if we didn't know the inside story? Although it was also his misunderstanding first.
He didn't do it intentionally, but no matter what, it was because of him that he got Huiyuan.
The second possibility is that Academician Wang does not want to take credit. The current examination has ended, and news about the examination will continue to spread. For example, I learned about Academician Wang’s behavior from Li Xiyagong.
Originally, Academician Wang could have made his mistake without explaining the real story and enjoyed the gratitude of our family. But he deliberately told his father the truth and made it clear that it was a misunderstanding.
We are too close, or we are loyal and don't want to be rewarded for nothing.
My son, I am not familiar with Bachelor Wang. From my father’s point of view, which of the two possibilities is more likely?”
Fang Qingzhi thought for a while and said: "Xueshi Wang is a gentleman of Hanyuan and cannot do anything to deliberately ask for credit. It is probably because the latter does not want to receive salary for nothing, or there is some alienation in it, so he asked us
Don't thank him."
This kind of behavior is a typical gentleman's behavior. Fang Yingwu expressed his understanding, but he suddenly realized something and shouted "That's it!" and said: "Today is too late, tomorrow I will go to the door with great fanfare to thank Bachelor Wang!
"
Fang Qingzhi asked curiously: "What are you going to do?" Fang Yingwu smiled and said: "Xueshi Wang wanted to show his distance and did not want to have too much contact with us, but it was not what he wanted! Besides, Xueshi Wang is also from Zhejiang Province, so we should be closer to each other.
Get close!”
Fang Yingwu knew that Wang Xian was from Renhe County, Hangzhou Prefecture, and they were from the same province as the Fang family. They should be naturally close to each other, but Wang Xian deliberately acted distant. What was the reason? After thinking about it, it could only be because
Another famous person in the province died.
Academician Wang probably didn't want his friend Xie Qian to have any thoughts because he was too close to the Fang family, so he deliberately distanced himself from the relationship to prevent the Fang family from using this matter to interfere with him.
In this case, Fang Yingwu must do the opposite! He has a rule in his heart that his father can show weakness anywhere, but he cannot show weakness here with Xie Qian! What his opponent does not want is what he should do
.
This is not a battle of will, but a battle for future luck! After all, the number of places for promotion is limited. In this time and space, if my father wants to break the original historical trajectory, he can only take away the luck that should belong to Xie Qian!
Judging from various factors, although my father is slightly inferior to Xie Qian, and his current achievements are not as good as Xie Qian's, it is not impossible to catch up, and my father basically has the conditions to replace Xie Qian.
They are both from Zhejiang Province, a major province in the imperial examination, and they are also high-ranking imperial examination masters. They are about the same age...but the father may have a greater reputation, and he has such an outstanding son. (To be continued...

ps: The state is very bad, and because there is one part of the plot below that I have never thought through, which has slowed down the progress of coding, I have to write the second update until now, and I really can’t write the third update...
