Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty One Shouldn't Come
In the next few days, Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian were divided into two groups, and they were very busy. Xiang Chengxian went to the guild hall to greet Tong Nian, while Fang Yingwu went to visit officials from the same province one by one according to the list, and warmly invited him
Attended the banquet of the same year of Jinke.
In order to ensure the success rate, Fang Yingwu also asked his father to write a number of letters. If the person he was visiting was hesitant, he would take out his father's letters and invite directly in his father's name.
Seventy-eight people wrote seventy-eight letters. Fang Qingzhi was so obsessed with writing letters under the constant stalking of his son. The key was that Editor Fang was so sincere, and every letter was very serious, and he had to consider different sentences and content.
.Unlike a certain former cabinet minister who entrusted me with a message, several letters had the same content, and they just changed the title of the letter.
Rubbing his wrist, Fang Qingzhi rarely complained: "It's understandable that you want to hold a grand banquet for the same year, but is it necessary to be in such a hurry? It has to be in these few days?"
"If it's too late, it will be done after the palace examination. Then it won't be interesting." Fang Yingwu explained: "The palace examination will produce the number one scholar. Then the world will pay attention. Everyone says that the number one scholar is good. Who still remembers the previous Hui Yuan?
?
At that time, Hui Yuan was a resentful woman in the cold palace! So we have to strike while the iron is hot these days. While my son and I, Hui Yuan, are not out of power, I can take the initiative to organize the banquet of the same year to establish my reputation. This is called maximizing interests."
Fang Qingzhi was helpless towards his son. Is he really his own son? "It's just because you have so many thoughts on your mind that you don't know how to focus on studying! But even if you write a letter to your father, others may not come, especially Wang Xian."
Senior Wang."
Fang Yingwu was not worried about this, "If you read your father's letter and still refuse to give face to the banquet, there is no need to make friends with such a person. We will be strangers from now on, except for Wang Xianwang, a bachelor."
This time is an opportunity to get acquainted with the new generation of junior fellow students. And my father has sent a letter to invite you warmly. If you are still unwilling to come, it means that you are neither willing to support the juniors nor give face to your father. Then this person is probably a person with a personality that is incompatible with the officialdom.
Mainstream.
Fang Yingwu is not unusual for such a person who likes to play with his own personality or not. He is destined to fight in the future. But Wang Xian is different. He is one of the top senior Hanlin seniors. In addition, as the deputy examiner of Jinke, his status is aloof.
, my presence on the platform will greatly increase the momentum of the Fang family.
"Senior Wang intentionally distances himself. How do you plan to invite him?" Fang Qingzhi asked again.
Fang Yingwu replied confidently: "The mountain man has his own clever plan!"
Fang Qingzhi finished writing another letter. Fang Yingwu diligently helped to polish the ink and said, "The next letter is from Xie Qian."
Fang Qingzhi was surprised when he picked up his pen. He raised his head and asked, "Didn't you refuse to thank me for being here? Why did you ask your father to write a letter to invite you?"
Fang Yingwu said proudly: "Whether he comes or not is his business, but whether he invites you or not is our Fang family's business. In order to avoid others saying that our Fang family is narrow-minded and intolerant, we still have to invite...
.. But father, please don’t write about the banquet of the same year in your letter. Just say that the Fang family celebrates my new year, and please thank me for attending the banquet.”
Fang Qingzhi smiled bitterly, "Not everyone is as angry as you. If Senior Xie comes to congratulate you, all your plans will come to nothing."
Fang Yingwu said confidently: "The mountain man has his own clever plan!"
Fang Qingzhi was very unhappy with his son's habitual showoff attitude. He really wanted to blurt out and yell at his son, "What a great size you have!"
But concerned about his father's identity, Fang Qingzhi held back the swear words. But he just didn't take the initiative to ask.
But he said that after taking his father's letter, Fang Yingwu visited each house one by one. In two or three days, he was almost done. The process went smoothly for the most part. The other party was also happy to see the results.
But when he arrived at Wang Xian's house, Fang Yingwu was blocked by the door. He said in a very formal way: "My master said that he will try to get the Chinese young master. This is a business matter and cannot be a personal affair. Mr. Fang, please come back."
!”
Fang Yingwu's eyes showed sadness and anger, "We are gathering in Zhejiang province today for the Chinese-style ceremony, and the prince refuses to come and teach us a thing or two? It seems that the prince looks down on us, the more than 40 newcomers from the same town, so I have nothing to say.
, I had to say goodbye!"
Fang Yingwu put on his big hat, and Menzi felt a little overwhelmed, so he hurriedly went into the house to report. After a while, Menzi came out helplessly and said: "My master said that he knows, Mr. Fang will just leave the invitation."
"Very good, very good." Fang Yingwu hurriedly handed the invitation to the doorman, and also gave a small piece of silver as a red envelope.
But the disciple refused to accept the red envelope, which made Fang Yingwu greatly lament Wang Xian's family tradition. He is a true gentleman. However, a gentleman can bully others. If the big hat is put on him, he will have to accept it even if he doesn't want to.
After leaving the palace, Fang Yingwu went to Xie Qian's house again, but was still blocked by his disciples. Menzi was a confidant of the master's family, so of course the disciples of the Xie family knew about the grudge between Xie Qian and the Fang family, how could they treat Fang Yingwu well?
manner?
I saw this guy squinting his eyes and picking his nose and asked in response: "Why are you here, Mr. Fang?"
Fang Yingwu also replied arrogantly: "I will hold a banquet in two days to celebrate the harvest of the Jinke Conference. I would like to ask your master to show your respect and attend. I will sweep the couch to welcome you."
Menzi looked disdainful, "My master is afraid he won't be free."
Fang Yingwu suddenly took out the invitation and without saying a word, slapped it directly on the face of the Xie family. Then he mocked: "I sent the invitation here, let your master consider it yourself!"
"Bastard!" The Xie family had never suffered such an insult before, and he was furious! What can be tolerated and what cannot be tolerated! His face here represents the face of the master, and hitting him in the face is a slap in the face of the master!
This guy took the invitation off his face and rushed over to do something.
Fang Yingwu was fearless and stood firm with a faint smile, "You want to beat me? The Xie family wants to beat the person who sent the invitation to the Fang family in their own concierge? Xie Qian was jealous and allowed his servants to beat Fang Qingzhi's son?"
Each sentence was more cunning than the last. When the disciple heard the last sentence, he retracted his fist and held back his anger. The people who can be disciples in the world are the most sensible people. If you are not sensible, you will not be sent to the concierge to receive guests.
The Xie family knows that they must not take action, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous, and after unimaginable consequences, they will be treated as a scapegoat. After all, the relationship between their master and the Fang family is too sensitive. Since his master sat down and watched Fang Qing a few years ago
Tianlao doesn't care about it...
Fang Yingwu laughed a few times, pointed at the invitation and walked away.
Without further ado, three days later, the Zuixiang Building was once again bustling with people from Zhejiang and other provinces gathering together. Many lords from Zhejiang Province and the DPRK were also present. Xiang Chengxian chose the place as a professional or as a master, and finally chose the place.
Settled at Zuixianglou.
As one of the hosts, Fang Yingwu still stood at the door of the building to greet guests. After congratulating each other with several classmates of the same year, he looked up and saw Li Min, who ranked first in the provincial examination and last in the general examination in the same year - this is also a very unique person.
The rankings are all so individual.
Li Min greeted the other party in greeting and said, "Scholar Wang asked me to send you a message. He is not in good health today and really cannot be here."
Fang Yingwu was speechless. Is this Bachelor Wang Xian Wang too sincere? Just because he is on good terms with Xie Qian, he is unwilling or embarrassed to have contact with the Fang family?
It’s not a matter of right and wrong, this position is too clear... No wonder Academician Wang has always been a senior scholar and has never had the opportunity to join the cabinet in his life. It is said that character determines destiny.
But what still interested Fang Yingwu was why Wang Xian asked Li Min to take the lead? After thinking about it for a while, Fang Yingwu guessed something.
Hangzhou is a city with two counties, namely Qiantang County and Renhe County. Li Min is from Qiantang County and Wang Xian is from Renhe County. They are from the same city and are almost from the same county. It is not surprising that they have a close relationship.
Could it be that the old friend Wang Xian mentioned was Li Min? Fang Yingwu couldn't help but come up with this idea after thinking about it. With Li Min's proud and arrogant character, I'm afraid he really disdained Wang Xian's suggestion, and then made the mistake by mistake.
Collided and made Wang Xian mistake his own test paper for Li Min's test paper?
Although Academician Wang refused to attend after all, which was a small regret, the meeting still had to go on, so Fang Yingwu put aside his distracting thoughts and continued to welcome guests.
Among the visitors, the one with the highest official status is Mr. Tu Tu, the Yushi of Youqiandu. This is a person who is just one step away from becoming an official in the ministry. This shows that the current DPRK Central and Zhejiang Party is really... to put it mildly.
It’s called Qinghuang No Acceptance.
Fang Qingzhi accompanied Lord Tu to greet him, but Tu Yu looked around and asked, "Why don't you see Xie Yuyao coming?"
Fang Qingzhi didn't know how to answer for a moment. It seemed that it was inconvenient for him to answer. Again, his relationship with Xie Qian was too sensitive.
Standing behind his father, Jinke Huiyuan Fang Yingwu answered: "Wan Sheng sent the invitation to Xie's house, but there was no reply. Mr. Xie climbed the high branches of Xu Xu, the Academy of Hanlin Academy, just waiting to be the Conglong
He is his minister. We fellow countrymen are of low status and useless, and I am afraid that we will not be able to get into his eyes."
"Hmm..." Mr. Tu frowned imperceptibly, but he believed it a bit. This Mr. Xie usually only cares about his status and does not pay much attention to the relationship with the same province. His nostalgia is very indifferent. Maybe in his eyes
Only people from the same county are considered fellow villagers here.
Fang Qingzhi turned around and scolded his son: "You dare to criticize your senior, do you have any place to speak here?"
Tu Yan looked around again and asked: "Why is it that Bachelor Wang has not arrived? Isn't he the examiner of this subject?"
Still Fang Yingwu replied: "Scholar Wang has noble aspirations. He is the deputy chief examiner of this subject. He is afraid of being criticized for favoritism, so he did not come to attend today's Chinese-style banquet for the same year."
Master Tu nodded and praised: "Scholar Wang cherishes feathers, it is understandable."
At this moment, Xiang Chengxian trotted over, and the father and son of the other party said, "Thank you, Yuyao, senior, for coming!"
Fang Yingwu took a breath and was a little stunned. What should come did not come, but what shouldn't come did come... The reason why he came to humiliate him like that was to make Xie Qian lose his face and come to join in the fun, but this thank you
Qian can actually hold back his anger, and still wants to attend the banquet for the new Jinshi’s anniversary?
He is worthy of being a figure in history who was able to join the cabinet in his forties. This is also a manifestation that character determines destiny! From a young age to an adult, it can be seen that he is really his father's rival! (To be continued...)
