There was still a lot of noise outside the county government gate, and there were even firecrackers. But in the court, no one felt that it was very noisy, but it was normal.
Everyone looked at Fang Jieyuan's freshly baked son again. The commoner boy, who looked a bit shabby just now, suddenly seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint golden light, making it difficult to look directly at him.
The autumn sunshine was so dazzling... Fang Yingwu moved a few steps quietly to avoid being exposed to the rising sun, so the golden light on his body was correspondingly reduced.
After the initial excitement and inability to control himself, Fang Yingwu felt a mixture of emotions at this moment, even as if he was dreaming. In the blink of an eye, he, a poor boy who had difficulty eating three meals a day, became a second-generation official and gentry.
?
The status of a Juren is almost equal to that of an official, and it can be regarded as entering the ruling class. Especially this is Jieyuan, the number one in the province, who would not be replaced by a Jinshi, not to mention that I have never heard of Jieyuan failing the exam.
He was a Jinshi (Tang Jieyuan was still wearing crotchless pants at this time).
This is probably what it feels like to be a farmer in the morning and ascend to the emperor's palace in the evening. Although it may not be to that extent, the principle of changing circumstances is the same.
The characteristic of the imperial examination is that it can always create the myth of overnight success, especially the stories of poor families who succeeded in the examination and became prosperous, which are even more talked about by the people.
Fang Yingwu, who has personally experienced the comedy of life, had to sigh in his heart, the ups and downs of life are so exciting! Don't laugh at Fan Jin who almost went crazy after winning the exam. Didn't Fang Yingwu lose his composure in front of others just now?
Different from Fang Yingwu who just enjoys the ecstasy, and different from other scholars who are full of envy, Wang Zhixian considers the problem from a different perspective. First of all, he is confused, why does the county know nothing about Fang Qingzhi's participation in the Zhejiang Provincial Examination?
?
It is said that the number of places in the township examination is limited, not just any scholar can participate, only the best batch can. County students must first take the internal scientific examination in the county and become first-class and second-class students, and then they can go to the province
Participate in the rural examination in the city.
This year, Chun'an County only screened 30 people to go to the provincial capital, and Fang Qingzhi was definitely not among them. Fang Qingzhi, a new member of Xie Yuan, has not returned from his two years of study abroad, and he will not take part in a scientific examination in the county.
, then how did he go directly to participate in the provincial provincial examination?
However, Wang Zhi County, after all, is a member of the officialdom, and he quickly figured out that the examinations below the provincial examination are too arbitrary. For example, the province's academic officials can also hold a legacy examination in the provincial capital before the provincial examination. All due to illness
, mourning, traveling and other reasons that do not have the opportunity to participate in the county selection opportunity, you can apply for the legacy examination to achieve the purpose of not missing out on talents.
As long as you pass the recording examination presided over by the provincial academic officer, you can directly participate in the rural examination. Fang Jieyuanba, who went out to study abroad, used this route to sneak into the rural examination examination room. No wonder the county knew nothing about his participation in the provincial examination.
I know, I was caught off guard.
County Magistrate Wang couldn't refuse. Fang Qingzhi was too unbelievable. He slipped into the field and actually won Jieyuan in Zhejiang, one of the four most powerful imperial examination provinces in the world. Even if he competed with the Three Tripods in the National Spring Festival Competition
Comparatively, the difficulty is not much less.
In the understanding of ordinary people, winning the imperial examination is equivalent to being an official. You can be on an equal footing with the county magistrate. You can become a master who is exempted from all taxes and duties. You can get silver, a house, a sedan, a woman, and rent a house to pass the imperial examination.
Jieyuan is a large-scale Juren, a mythical Juren.
But Wang Zhixian also knew that among the gentry in the province, Jieyuan was the focus of attention, especially in the minds of the gentry, the honor of Jieyuan in this province was second only to the top three in the country, the role model, and the third flower.
In other words, Jieyuan's voice is very domineering. He is by no means an ordinary person. He can say as much as others. As a top three Jinshi, he is fighting away from home. Although he has great power in Chun'an County, he may not speak as loudly as Jieyuan.
.And he is only thirty-year-old Jieyuan.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhixian regretted that he had missed a good opportunity to burn the cold stove. If he had ordered Fang Yingwu as the head of the table yesterday or the day before yesterday, even if Fang Qingzhicheng understood Yuan today, the Fang family would be deeply moved.
If you are grateful to yourself, then you should "disciple obey his work" in front of you.
Now if I want to make up for the opportunity, it is impossible. The opportunity cannot be missed and will never come back. It is a pity that I was weak and did not make up my mind earlier! Otherwise, a favor will be obtained.
Even if Fang Yingwu is appointed as the head of the case now, it will be the icing on the cake instead of providing help in times of need, and the effect of the favor will be countless times worse.
What a pity, what a pity! Thinking of this pair of father and son with a promising future, Wang Zhixian suddenly felt a little resentment that they were "destined but not destined".
Wu Chuo, one of the two candidates at the head of the case, Mr. Wu, was impatient with waiting, and couldn't help but urge Magistrate Wang: "My parents, this time the additional examination has not started yet, please post the questions."
Wang Zhixian came to his senses, thought about it for a moment, and then said again: "The craftsmanship is a way for the country to recruit scholars. It is specially used to correct people's hearts and prevent them from going astray..."
It seems to be no different from what was said just now, but it was repeated. Is it still necessary to take the eight-legged test? Fang Yingwu frowned slightly, but Wu Chuo's face lit up.
But then Magistrate Wang changed his subject, "But scholars should study diligently and have broad knowledge. The craftsmanship has been tested, and the two of them are really indistinguishable, so this time I will take another test on poetry."
Hearing this "but", Fang Yingwu knew that he had achieved the title of a scholar! However, under the impact of his father's hometown examination, the excitement and surprise were gone. Compared with a scholar's achievements, this achievement was gone.
It's really too small.
Even if you fail to pass the examination as a scholar, you can only rely on your father's halo and copy some outstanding poems and articles, and you will be able to become a celebrity in the county and be a comfortable second generation. Whether you are a scholar or not does not really matter.
This is called a virgin.
Although Fang Yingwu has become a little detached under the impact of his father's high school education, but it is different for Wang Zhixian. It's okay that he didn't agree in advance, but since he agreed but didn't do it, he might become a grudge.
.
If Fang Yingwu was just a poor student, he would be wronged if he was wronged, but now the situation is different. After comparing in his mind, Wang Zhixian's balance tipped to Fang Yingwu's side.
Seeing the situation like this, Wu Chuo knew that the matter was beyond control. No matter how he tried, he would definitely lose in the end.
Thinking of this, the arrogant Mr. Wu found it unacceptable. How could he lose to the man he had always despised as a village man in the mountains? How could he rely solely on his father's influence?
So instead of losing face and losing face at that time, it is better to pretend to be generous and quit now, at least it will spread that he did not lose to Fang Yingwu. So Wu Gongzi took the initiative to speak to Wang Zhixian: "The student would rather quit than to be friends with Fang Yingwu."
It’s time to fight for the head of the case.”
Without waiting for the magistrate to say anything else, Wu Chuo snorted lightly, shook his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the courtroom, calling the bookboys and servants to leave.
Winner or loser, no one will care about Mr. Wu's attitude. If he is unhappy, just be unhappy. Now that one of the two protagonists has voluntarily withdrawn, the title of head of the county trial case has officially fallen on Fang Yingwu.
Magistrate Wang said in a very considerate manner: "Fang Yingwu! You are the head of this case. Although I want to let you have a few drinks to congratulate me, you have such a big happy event in your family, so you should go back early to deal with it."
!”
"Thank you, old parents, for thinking about me." Fang Yingwu saluted. Magistrate Wang was right. When news of good news reaches home, someone must come forward, but there is no one else in the family except himself.
When things were over for today, Magistrate Wang shook his head, exited the lobby, and disappeared through the back door.
At this time, the schoolchildren who came to meet the county magistrate crowded over and congratulated Fang Yingwu. Fang Yingwu bowed to everyone in a hurry and said loudly: "I am very lucky to be able to enter school with you all.
!”
Entering school means entering the county school, which is also commonly known as the scholar who passed the examination. The same case means the people who entered the school in the same batch, similar to the same year in the provincial examination. Therefore, Fang Yingwu’s words are equivalent to wishing everyone to pass the examination.
A scholar, very pleasing to the eye.
Everyone said with emotion that Friend Fang is indeed a humble gentleman, and his character is much better than that arrogant Wu Chuo. This is the real head of the case.
Saying goodbye to his co-defendant, Fang Yingwu walked out of the county government office. A piece of paper had been added to the screen next to the county examination list, with the words "Case Head: Fang Yingwu" written on it.
There were one or two hundred people watching the fun gathered outside the gate. When Fang Yingwu came out, he suddenly attracted the attention of these hundreds of people. This was the first time that Fang Yingwu became a public figure. He couldn't help but raise his chest and raise his head slightly, making a gesture.
His majestic appearance is impressive to others.
The crowd kept pointing and talking at Fang Yingwu, and many voices reached his ears.
"This is the son of Fang Jieyuan's family, and he is also the leader of this county trial."
"The father is number one in the province, and the son is number one in the county. It is true that father and son inherit each other!"
"The Fang family in Huaxi will be prosperous this time! With a Jie Yuan, there will be at least several decades of luck!"
"As expected of Fang Jieyuan's son, he is a very talented person!"
This... Fang Yingwu felt a little strange in his heart. Others kept saying that he was not separated from Yuan, so where was his limelight? This kind of mentality is worthy of vigilance. He doesn't want to be seen as only relying on his father.
Incompetent second generation!
He was an orphan in his previous life, and so far in his life, his life has been similar to that of an orphan. So he has always had a strong independent spirit.
Although this county's academic case leader did not rely entirely on talent, he also put in a lot of thought and effort!
If he hadn't worked hard step by step to the end, how would his father, a Jieyuan, have a chance to make a final impact? Who would give him the head of the case for no reason?
He can't let others think that he only relies on his father. He doesn't mind enjoying the benefits of being Jieyuan's son, but he doesn't want to become that image.
The other Fang Yingwu is Fang Yingwu, the unique Fang Yingwu. Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu composed a poem and sang a long song while walking towards the west gate of the county town.
Chun'an's father and mother watched the young man in civilian clothes gradually go away from the roadside, calm and relaxed.
His lyrics kept echoing in my ears: "My son passed by the yamen at the office, and my father came from the golden sea. After working hard for three hundred and sixty days, I mistakenly thought that my father would go to the rooftop. How can fame be tired of fame? The moon shines and the breeze comes in
I’m pregnant!”
A bit unruly, a bit proud, and a bit helpless and self-deprecating, he is indeed a unique young man.
