Fang Qingzhi felt very strange about Fang Yingwu's reaction, as if suddenly, his son had changed people. As far as he can see, his son likes to talk about it (at least in private), and the politicians dare not say anything, why did he change his temper today?

In fact, Fang edited and repaired only the surface, not the inside. Fang Yingwu did talk and reprimand Fang Yu at every turn, but it was not a waste of saliva - either it was to achieve a goal and he needed to make a statement; Either you can benefit from making a statement, such as building an image or gaining fame.

But this time, what is the need for Fang Yingwu to express his opinion? In the final analysis, in fact, it is just the death of a barbarian leader, and for the Celestial Empire, this is very important? Can it be more important than trying this kind of talent ceremony?

What's more, the death of the little khan is already a fait accompli, no matter how the court looks at it, whether it is recognized or not recognized as a merit, the dead man will not live. The courtiers quarrel and quarrel, no matter what the result of the quarrel is, it doesn't matter, there is really no need for the other side to support which side, there is no need.

Fang Yingwu thought for a while and said: "When others ask again, they will say that I am concentrating on preparing for the exam and have no heart to think about miscellaneous things. "This excuse is full of weight, and it is not as big as the exam in the country.

"Got it." Fang Qingzhi nodded, but still refused to leave.

Fang Yingwu held up the book in his hand, hinting that he was going to study hard and diligently, and his father could leave, don't monitor here, otherwise he won't be able to read.

But Fang Qingzhi was still hesitant, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and took out a stack of notes from his wide sleeve. Gently placed it on the table in front of Fang Yingwu. Then Fang Qingzhi was expressionless again, and his figure floated backwards. A few steps away.

"This is," Fang Yingwu wondered. He looked down, it was a stack of articles. Look at this thickness, I'm afraid there are not twenty or thirty articles.

"These are the articles of the predecessors, and my father copied a few copies for you, and you may be able to read them when you are fine." Fang Qingzhi said lightly, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.

Fang Yingwu lowered his head again and flipped through it, there is not a single signature here, whose article is it? At this moment of intense revision, what is it for him to read these endless articles?

Thinking of his father's identity, Fang Yingwu suddenly realized. These articles are definitely the most precious review materials!

You must know that there is no first article, and everyone's taste in articles is also very different, some people like quaint, some people like gorgeous, and some people like small and fresh. It doesn't matter if people are like this, but it doesn't matter if the examiner is like this.

Therefore, there is a very important job before the exam, which is to figure out the examiner's style and hobbies, and if you can write the style that the examiner likes during the exam, the probability of Chinese style will naturally increase greatly. This is one of the tricks of the imperial examination.

There are people who are high, and they can be explored a little deeper; If there are people who are shallow, they can only chase the wind and catch shadows, and the road hears about it, in a vain attempt to catch the blind cat and kill the mouse.

As is customary. Most of the examiners are from the Hanlin Academy, and at this tense time for the exam, Fang Qingzhi suddenly brought dozens of articles by the seniors of the Hanlin Academy and asked Fang Yingwu to read. The meaning is self-evident.

How could someone as smart as Fang Yingwu not guess? These articles are full of articles written by potential examiners, and most of them are naturally beneficial after carefully considering their Chinese pen! Arguably. These dozens of articles are taken out and sold, and even if they are sold for hundreds of days, some people will ask for them.

Fang Yingwu thought again. Although the examiner has not been announced yet, there may have been rumors circulating within the Hanlin Academy, with his father's upright conduct, it is normal not to want to leak the rumors of favoritism, and copying dozens of articles to help review is already the limit of what he can do. It's not easy, it's really not easy, this is also the unspoken rule of Hanlin officials who get the moon first near the water?

"Thank you, father." Fang Yingwu said from the bottom of his heart and solemnly. He could imagine how determined it would be to do such a thing with his father's discipline.

Fang Yingwu didn't thank him, but this thank you made Fang Qingzhi a little embarrassed, as if he had done something embarrassing. Especially in front of his own son, he made an example of unpleasantness, and his morality was stained, how can he convince people with virtue in the future?

Fang Qingzhi kept sighing in his heart, the world is difficult, the outside country will not be a country, and the family will not be a father.

At this time, a disciple suddenly shouted outside the house: "The eldest son! Someone visited outside the door, commonly known as Xiang Chengxian, and said that he was a friend in the township! ”

When Fang Yingwu heard this, he hurriedly ordered: "Good life waiting!" Wait for me to go out and greet you! ”

Last year, he and Xiang Chengxian won the move together, and agreed to rush to Chunqiu together this year. Now there are only ten days left before the test, and he has not received news of Xiang Chengxian, Fang Yingwu thought that Xiang Chengxian would not come, but he didn't expect Xiang Chengxian to arrive at Zuihou juncture.

Fang Qingzhi also knew Xiang Chengxian, who was a student in Chun'an County back then, but Xiang Chengxian entered school a few years later than him. He took the initiative and said, "I will go with you for the Father's sake." ”

Fang Yingwu stopped when he heard this, his face was embarrassed, "Father, don't come forward?" ”

Fang Qingzhi was very dissatisfied with his son's dissuasion, and said righteously: "What kind of nonsense are you? When the deceased came to the door and avoided my father, wouldn't others think that I was snobbish and would not recognize the deceased when I got an official position? ”

Fang Yingwu stopped talking, shook his head and went out with his father to welcome guests, and when he arrived at the gate, he saw four or five people waiting, all of them in the dust. Xiang Chengxian, who hadn't seen him for a few months, was talking to Menzi, and the rest of the people were probably domestic slaves he brought.

"Brother Xiang, haven't you seen you for a long time?" Fang Yingwu greeted from afar.

Here, Xiang Chengxian looked up and saw the Fang family's father and son coming out to greet him, and he didn't dare to be big, so he hurriedly took the initiative to take a few steps forward and met with the Fang family's father and son.

But Xiang Chengxian's mouth opened and opened, closed and closed, but he couldn't spit out a word. The person in front of him is Fang Qingzhi, and next to him is Fang Yingwu, how to greet and greet?

If you start from the county school, Fang Qingzhi entered the county school a few years earlier than him, he is an old classmate, and he has participated in the township examination together in the thirteenth year of Chenghua; But Fang Yingwu entered the county school a few years later than him, and he can be regarded as a classmate, and he took the township test together last year and became the same year.

In other words, the father and son of the Fang family are standing here, and Xiang Chengxian and any of them can hook up and call each other brothers

But if he called Fang Qingzhi his brother, then Fang Yingwu, who had fooled around together, would become his junior, so he was embarrassed; If he meets Fang Yingwu's brothers, wouldn't Fang Qingzhi, a former classmate, become his elder again?

No matter how he chooses, Xiang Chengxian feels very embarrassed, he didn't expect to encounter this kind of scene before he came, he is really sad that in the end, he has to blame Fang Yingwu for rising too fast.

Fang Yingwu squinted at his father, he had already told your old man to avoid it, but your old man didn't listen, and now it's embarrassing for the guests.

Father will not be father, Fang Qingzhi sighed again. He looked at his son, and then at Xiang Chengxian, so he had to greet him, "There will be a period after the green mountains are not in the green water", and then he walked away in a gloomy way - when it comes to relationships, his son and Xiang Chengxian are on the same list in the same year, and they are closer, and they are still dominated by their sons.

After seeing his father leave, Fang Yingwu spoke casually, "Why did you only arrive today?" I almost thought you weren't going to take the exam today. ”

"There was a delay on the road, otherwise it would have been there a year ago."

Fang Yingwu asked again: "Is there a place to live?" If you don't dislike it, I can squeeze it here. ”

Xiang Chengxian said with a smile: "That's what I mean!" I was looking for a few rooms to live in the hall, but a few days later, all the houses were full, so I came to you. If you don't have any extra space here, I'll go to Uncle Hong's place to stay there. "Another friend of theirs, Hong Song, has an uncle named Hong Tingchen, who is now working as a foreigner in the Criminal Department.

Fang Yingwu took a big bag and said: "There are still two or three spare rooms in my house over there, I will ask my family to clean them up, and you can live there." ”

In this way, Xiang Chengxian took the house slave to live in Fang Yingwu's house, and the two talked all night long. The next day, Xiang Chengxian rested for another day and regained his energy. But the next day, when Fang Yingwu went to find Xiang Chengxian, he was told by the house slave who stayed behind that he had gone out.

Fang Yingwu muttered a few times, this eldest prince is really a person who can't sit still, and he is not at ease when the exam comes, so he will go out to find relatives and friends again. (To be continued......)
