After the suspense-filled affair in the temple and the dispute over the East Palace were temporarily over, the court suddenly fell into a rare calm. At least in the past two years, it seemed that there had never been such a peaceful moment, which actually made people who were used to watching good shows a little uncomfortable.
Fang Yingwu waited calmly for a few days, but saw nothing happened, so he focused on the wedding. This was a happy event that had begun to take shape since the 14th year of Chenghua. It has been seven years now, and it can be called
It's a marathon. If it can't be completed in August as planned, he and Miss Liu's third wife will really be left alone.
The hot summer has arrived, and Fang Yingwu's marriage preparations have also entered the hottest stage. At this time, Wang Ying gradually acted as the role of the housekeeper, busy every day, and the person he wanted to marry was the prime minister's daughter.
This puts a lot of pressure on Butler Wang. In addition, even bodyguard Fang Yingshi and teacher Lou Tianhua are often ordered to run errands.
However, there is one obstacle that still needs to be faced, that is, Lord Gaotang of Fang Yingwu was banished to Yunyang by the emperor's orders and was not in the capital, which caused a small problem for the wedding process.
In fact, it is not difficult to deal with the etiquette alone. Fang Yingwu has no interest in red tape, so he just needs to slightly modify the etiquette accordingly. However, there are always some places where elders are still unavoidable.
Then the question arises, who will play the role of the elder? It should be said that there are many people who are willing to play the role of Fang Yingwu's elder, and they are all very motivated, but choosing them is a headache.
There were even people who took the initiative to do door-to-door sales. For example, a future emperor who was promoted to the Imperial Academy in the same year as Fang Qingzhi and was now hanging around in the Hanlin Academy came to Fang’s house and responded to him with all sincerity: “I and I
We have been on the gold medal list with my father. We have always had a deep friendship, but now my father has gone to Pianzhou. I am a good ancestor, and my father has been taking care of you since the present generation. If there is any need in your marriage, I will be the one to intervene."
Fang Yingwu looked at the other party for a few times, gritted his teeth and refused: "No, no matter who is invited, I will not ask you to come forward."
This was not a polite rejection, but a very straightforward rejection. The visitor complained: "You are so unkind and have no room for negotiation?"
Fang Yingwu replied firmly and affirmatively: "Although you are considered an elder, I will never invite you. Just give up!"
The visitor murmured a few words softly: "People's hearts are unpredictable. Maybe you dislike me, Yang Tinghe, who is just an editor. My official position is too small. It's embarrassing for you to act as an elder."
Fang Yingwu said coldly: "There is a very unpleasant saying in the market, that is, take a pee and look in the mirror. Are there any elders as young as Senior Yang? You seem to be only three years older than me, and you also want to come to the wedding.
Senior?"
"It's useless if you're not convinced, elders are still elders." Twenty-five-year-old Yang Tinghe said haha, "I'm here today to ask you about Senior Li. What do you think of Senior Li?"
Senior Li is referring to Li Dongyang. Helping Li Dongyang test his tone is the purpose of Yang Tinghe's visit. The previous volunteering was just a joke. Of course, it is not ruled out that Yang Tinghe wants to have great luck. People always have to be a little delusional. What if it happens?
?
It is said that Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, and Fang Yingwu were often mentioned side by side by people at the time. Because the three of them had the same characteristics, they were all young "prodigies" who became famous in the Chenghua Dynasty.
In the second year of Chenghua, Li Dongyang was awarded the Jinshi title at the age of eighteen. In the fourteenth year of Chenghua, Yang Tinghe was awarded the Jinshi title at the age of nineteen. In the seventeenth year of Chenghua, Fang Yingwu was also the Jinshi at the age of nineteen. In a country full of prodigy genius worship and imperial examination worship
During the Ming Dynasty, such miracles were very much talked about by the general public. Even in a hundred years, some people would still count them with their hands.
Once there were three Jinshi-level young prodigies, to a certain extent, it could be regarded as the so-called "prosperity of the prosperous age" when talents were at their peak. The Emperor Chenghua was ruthless in dealing with the enemy, so maybe it was because of this factor that he cut off his own auspiciousness.
, requires a lot of determination.
Regardless of gossip, he heard Yang Tinghe mention Li Dongyang. Fang Yingwu pondered for a moment and then replied: "I'll write to ask my father later."
In Fang Yingwu's heart, he has a high degree of recognition for Li Dongyang. First of all, Li Dongyang is his own room tester, and he is well-known as an elder, enough to silence others. Secondly, Li Dongyang will achieve great things in the future, and the stronger the relationship, the better.
Good; thirdly, Li Dongyang is a native of the capital and a rich man, and he can also help with weddings. Others do not have this advantage.
After the business was finished, Yang Tinghe still didn't leave. He took a few sips of tea and said, "The dog is now in its infancy, and I don't have much free time. Seeing that you have no official position and no position, you are very free. Are you willing to teach the little dog?"
Let me go! Fang Yingwu feels extremely strange. Yang Tinghe’s son is the equally famous Yang Shen. It’s okay for him to stay at home now, but he might as well forget about being the teacher of Yang Shen’s children.
Among other things, he has plagiarized many poems written by Yang Shen from another time and space. Although he is not a thin-skinned person, he still feels uncomfortable facing the original author all day long.
A similar thing happened back then. Four or five years ago, I was joking with Wang Yangming's father, Wang Hua, and almost had the chance to become Wang Yangming's teacher. However, Wang Hua knew him very well and was afraid that he would lead his son in a crooked way, so he never mentioned it.
Today, Yang Shen's father asked him to teach Yang Shen... He knows his level well, so he shouldn't humiliate himself. Fang Yingwu thought about it and replied: "That young master of yours is too smart.
It can’t be taught.”
Yang Tinghe sighed and said in great distress: "If you don't even agree, where can I find people smarter than you and me?" Fang Yingwu expressed secret shame at this sentence.
At this moment, a stranger came and hesitated in front of the gate of Fang Mansion. When the gatekeeper saw it, Mr. Wang stood up from the bench, stretched his neck and asked, "Who is here?"
The man replied: "I am a clerk from the Sub-district Office of the Ministry of Industry, and I have been ordered to come and deliver the documents." Uncle Wang frowned and said: "The Sub-district Office of the Ministry of Industry? What kind of yamen is this? Are you here pretending to cause trouble?"
Uncle Wang and the gentlemen of Fang Mansion are from the same hometown, but they are from the next village. They are related to Sister Yu. Ever since he joined the Fang family, his horizons have been greatly improved, and places like street halls, which are considered third-rate at first glance, are naturally out of his sight.
inside.
The clerk then said, "Just take the receipt and send it in. From now on, your master will make the final decision. What are you talking about as a gatekeeper?"
"You little bastard, how dare you yell at me?" Uncle Wang glared angrily and rolled up his sleeves as if he wanted to take action.
The young man next to him quickly stopped and shouted: "Uncle Wang, calm down! The young master has told us that we are not allowed to bully others like other shameless slaves."
Uncle Wang, the disciple, suppressed his temper, collected the documents and went inside. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
