Ge Cun sighed softly, glanced at Lu Fang again, and walked to a remote place.
Lu Fang followed him.
When they arrived at a secluded place, Ge Cun turned around and said to Lu Fang: "Master Lu, you are a great kind man, but I don't know why you want to leave us here?"
During his stay in Qingxifang, he also heard some stories about Lu Fang.
For example, he bought Qingxifang when it collapsed, asked He Zhigao to rein in the situation, and rescued He Wansu.
These are not necessary things, and they don't seem to be of much help to Lu Fang.
The only explanation is that Lu Fang is kind-hearted.
Lu Fang said: "I just don't want to see these children not having enough to eat."
"Aren't you afraid of causing any trouble to yourself?"
Ge Cun said again.
Lu Fang chuckled, "What trouble can this cause?"
Ge Cundao: "Those children are indeed innocent, but have you ever thought about who I was before?"
"A veteran of the former dynasty, right?"
Lu Fangdao.
Ge Cunlao's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "You know?"
Lu Fangdao: "The current Dayu court has only been established for sixteen years. If you are not a veteran of the previous dynasty, what else can you be?"
Ge Cun's eyes were deep, "If that's the case, why did you bring me here?"
"Because in my eyes, you are just an old man living on the street. Moreover, I mainly do it for these children." Lu Fang said from the bottom of his heart.
He is really not afraid of any kind of trouble.
So what if Ge Cun is a veteran of the previous dynasty?
With his current situation, what threat can he still pose to the Dayu court?
There are probably many veterans like Ge Cun in Dayu now.
Ge Cunque said: "If word spreads, aren't you afraid that others will accuse you of harboring remnants of the previous dynasty?"
"Ha ha."
Lu Fang laughed, "If even someone like you can be considered a remnant, then there are too many remnants of the Great Chongqing Dynasty. Can everyone over the age of sixteen be considered a remnant?"
This statement made Ge Cun slightly stunned.
This is obviously a fallacy.
But it sounds like it makes sense.
Then he chuckled and shook his head, "If one day my old life is gone, these children will have to take care of you, Master."
"good."
Lu Fang nodded happily.
…
After leaving Qingxifang, he rode towards Tanzhou City.
I originally planned to go directly to Tanzhou Government Office to register for the provincial examination, but after entering the city, I thought about it and went to Dengke Bookstore first.
I don’t know if that guy Xu Zhen is back.
Although the adoration value has been rising every day recently, when "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is published, it will definitely plummet. It must be continued.
Lu Fang knew very well that the system was his greatest reliance on survival in this world.
At least that's the case now.
Take the horse to Dengke Bookstore.
Xu Zhen was indeed back and sitting at the counter.
Lu Fang tied up his horse and walked to the counter, "It's from shopkeeper Xu."
Xu Zhen raised his head and said with a smile: "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be you, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Fang chuckled lightly, "I heard that you went to Kuizhou County Fucheng. How about it? The bookshop over there has already opened?"
Speaking of this, Xu Zhen's face showed some excitement, "I have already scouted the shop this time and have people decorating it. It should be able to open in a while."
"Then I want to wish Brother Xu in advance that you will make a lot of money every day."
Lu Fang cupped his hands and said.
Xu Zhen walked out from the counter and directly grabbed Lu Fang's hand and went upstairs, "Master Lu, please don't laugh at me. Who doesn't know that your brother is already the recruiter of our Jingnan County? I am so little
How can business be put on the table?"
Lu Fang pulled out his hand without leaving any trace.
I am not used to such "intimacy" between men in this era.
It's okay to hook up on the shoulders, but holding hands... my whole body is really numb!
Xu Zhen didn't notice Lu Fang's discomfort. After speaking, he just said longingly: "You have a new book?"
"Not yet, but I already have an idea in my mind."
Lu Fang followed him upstairs, "How's Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio going?"
Xu Zhen laughed and said: "Only the last four volumes have not been released yet."
Lu Fang said that he already had an idea in his mind, which made him very happy. He was even happier than finding a good space for a new shop.
When he had just returned to Tanzhou, he felt anxious when he learned that Lu Liang had been promoted to the position of envoy. He was worried that Lu Fang's younger brother, who was now the envoy, would not do such a thing as writing a book again. After all, that was not the case in the first place.
Lu Fang didn't care about the manuscript fee.
As for naming, given Lu Fang’s poetic talent, is it not easy to name him?
You know, even if you are a happy student, your reputation in the court is far less than that of the great talents among the younger generation.
After all, writing novels was not recognized by the great scholars in the court.
Then he suddenly remembered something and said: "I went to deliver a meal to the princess two days ago. The princess told me something and said that if I meet you, I will talk to you."
Having said this, the two of them also walked to the tea room upstairs and sat down.
Lu Fang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, "Is it related to me?"
I haven't seen Liang Siqi for less than twenty days. Why didn't Liang Siqi tell me before?
Xu Zhen made tea for Lu Fang, nodded and said: "The princess said that with your current status, if you come up with that collection of poems again, it's okay. With Yu Shangshu supporting you in the court, you show your
No one will say anything about your extraordinary poetic talent. At least they will not dare to accuse you of copying or buying poems. And now that the imperial examination is about to take place, if your collection of poems can become famous in Chongqing, it will be a good thing for you.
It is also beneficial. Those marking officers will probably not hear your name. If they know that you are a great talent, they will have to consider it more or less carefully when reviewing your papers."
Rewriting is the second step in the imperial examination marking process.
The first marking is a seal marking.
Rewriting is to check whether there are any biases or omissions in the first marking, and it is no longer a seal.
"The princess's original words, apart from the rules of the court, are also intertwined with human relationships. Yu Shangshu once served in the Hanlin Academy and made friends with many Qingliu people. And most of the reviewers selected by the court were from these people. I know you are Yu Shangshu
students may give you a higher evaluation depending on the circumstances. Of course, there are definitely some who are at odds with Yu Shangshu, but as long as your examination paper is there and there is something tangible to read, it doesn’t matter.
Who dares to call a deer a horse and take the risk of slandering you? Even if you do, Yu Shangshu will support you."
"Don't think these are all false names. Countless students in Dayu racked their brains to make a name for themselves. Why? Because they are famous for their talents. In this way, the imperial examination can always be more reliable. Think about it, after all these years in Dayu, everything
How many of the people who have passed the exam are unknown people? There are no empty ones under the famous name. The examination is not wine-making. There is no saying that the fragrance of wine does not make you afraid of the depth of the alley."
