However, rumors are just rumors after all, and most people who understand it scoff at the news that Fan Hongdao went to the inner study hall to teach. What kind of place is the inner study hall, it is a place to train senior eunuchs, by analogy with the Hanlin Academy in the civil officials, the celebrant eunuch and the eunuch in charge of each prison are all born in the inner study hall.

The teaching positions in the Inner Book Hall are generally selected from the Hanlin Academy, and they are the top figures in the imperial examination system, and Fan Hongdao is just a show of talent and fame, and he is a great superintendent, how can He De do the teaching and training of the Inner Book Hall?

Let's be honest, the people in Hanyuan are all future high-ranking officials, and when they go to the inner study hall as a teacher, they can deal with the future senior eunuchs in advance and accumulate contacts in the palace, which is conducive to mutual familiarity and cooperation with each other inside and outside the court of the Ming Dynasty in the future. And what is the use of a person like Fan Hongdao who seems to have an uncertain future to go to the inner study hall, it is a waste of places.

Therefore, knowledgeable people do not believe this rumor at all, and point out that this is just a conjecture made up by people who sympathize with Fan Hongdao, and they are as ignorant as those foolish men and foolish women who fantasize that people will ascend to heaven and become gods when they die.

Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch, Fan Hongdao was willing to beat the drum, and when he returned to the county office, he was greeted by a scolding that cut his head and covered his face. The chief official of the Nancheng Branch Office and the eldest prince of Chengshen Yongmaoshen of the county stood on the platform, pointing at Fan Hongdao and scolding for a quarter of an hour.

"What are you crazy about! I authorize you, you really dare to think and dare to do it, and even go to Dengwengu to hang out! Do you know that you are simply destroying your future by doing this, and you still want to mix in the court in the future! I don't know how to grow, I am almost angry with my own officials!"

Fan Hongdao was forced to admit his mistake in order to make Shen Dagongzi stop scolding: "My subordinates have failed the trust of the Tang Zun!" Shen Dagongzi waved his hand irritably: "It's not a question of living up to it, the official's headache is, how to finish it for you!"

Fan Hongdao said very shamefully: "One person does things and one person is responsible, and he has already submitted his resignation, so don't bother with it!" Shen Dagongzi said helplessly: "I want to think about whether there is any other way, if you have any ideas, you can also put them forward, and I can help you." ”

Fan Hongdao expressed his appreciation for the kindness of Prince Shen, and then returned to the official residence.

The father and daughter of the Li family came in again, and Father Li had a worried look on his face, but the eyes of Little Lady Li flashed with admiration, as if she was about to turn into a brainless fan: "Mr. Fan is really a big husband, the first time the slave family has seen an official who dares to be the master of the people like this!"

Father Li glared at his daughter fiercely, told her to shut up first, and then said to Fan Hongdao: "Although Mr. Fan's move is noble, how can he still stand on officialdom?"

Fan Hongdao replied: "You can only take one step at a time, but Daddy Li, don't worry, even if I am not in the county office, there is a hall to take care of you, and you can rest assured that you will be here on an errand!"

Father Li hesitated again and again, and said to Fan Hongdao: "If Mr. Fan leaves the branch office, it is inconvenient for him to follow him in old age, but he can't help but be righteous, so let the little girl wait for him." Of course Fan Hongdao has no opinion, it's still the same sentence, there are so many enemies, and only when you have a guard can you have a sense of security.

At this time, Fan Hongdao, who had already handed in his resignation, in order to show his determination not to fall in love with the stack, of course it was not good to continue to live in the official residence according to the usual practice. Little Lady Li sighed softly, this place is not used to living yet, and it is about to move again.

But when Mrs. Li wanted to help Fan Hongdao pack up her things, she was stopped by Fan Hongdao: "Don't worry about packing up, maybe I'll be back soon." ”

Li Xiaoniang said suspiciously: "Although the slave family doesn't understand much, but listening to other people's discussions, Mr. Fan will definitely suffer this time, how can he come back?" Fan Hongdao was about to take the opportunity to tease a few words, and the door outside reported that Wang Chuancai's shopkeeper was here.

At this time, there are many people who want to see Fan Hongdao, and they may be able to avoid others, but the old acquaintance of the shopkeeper Wang is different, and it is reasonable to meet him, so Fan Hongdao asked Menzi to bring the shopkeeper Wang in.

Shopkeeper Wang complained very much in his heart that Fan Hongdao was reckless, but Fan Hongdao was nominally trying to stand up for the people of Nancheng this time, and it was difficult for Shopkeeper Wang to say anything. In the end, I could only say very painfully: "Mr. Fan is working in Nancheng, and my generation of merchants suddenly feels that they have a backbone. Unexpectedly, it has only been a few days, and Mr. Fan is going to hang up his crown again, which makes my generation really stunned, and I don't know what to do in the future. ”

Fan Hongdao said in his words: "What it was in the past, and what it will be in the future, there is no difference." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper Wang obviously didn't have the heart to ponder the meaning of Fan Hongdao's words, and directly said the greatest intention: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more! I also asked Mr. Fan to stay in Nancheng for one more night, and I will set up a banquet to see Mr. Fan off tomorrow." ”

"That's not necessary, right?" Fan Hongdao excused himself and said, "You and I are so familiar, you don't need to be so polite and unfamiliar!"

Shopkeeper Wang still insisted on a treat: "This is not polite, I really want to invite Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan don't shirk." ”

Fan Hongdao also excused himself again and said: "There is really no need for this, it is not difficult to meet each other in the capital, what kind of parting is this, why should the king's shopkeeper be so expensive!"

Shopkeeper Wang did not accept Fan Hongdao's refusal, and invited him again and again: "Mr. Fan's words are serious, and he is not breaking the bank, compared with Mr. Fan's high righteousness, this cost is nothing." ”

Fan Hongdao repeatedly excused: "It's really an extraordinary time, and it's inconvenient to go to the banquet." ”

The shopkeeper refused to give up, and said: "Tomorrow is not only my intention, but also the heart of the people of Nancheng. There are 20 people in my generation who want to jointly set up a banquet to see off Mr. Fan together!"

Fan Hongdao asked without hesitation, "Where is it?"

Shopkeeper Wang thought that he needed to persuade for a few more rounds, but he didn't react for a while: "What's where?"

"I mean, where are the twenty of you holding a joint banquet?" Fan Hongdao repeated again, and the word "twenty people" was very heavy. If it was a meal with the shopkeeper Wang, of course Fan Hongdao was not interested, but if it was a bunch of people, it would be different.

The shopkeeper Wang understands in seconds, and he dares to love Fan Hongdao because he wants to go vigorously, so of course the bigger the scene, the happier he is. Fan Hongdao pointed out again: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to have more people. ”

The shopkeeper Wang felt a little embarrassed by this, if under normal circumstances, it would not be difficult to gather dozens of characters with heads and faces in Nancheng. After all, Fan Hongdao is so familiar with them, has helped them a lot, and sometimes can act as a spokesperson.

But now Fan Hongdao is leaving, and he is still "committing a crime" and leaving, I dare not say that people are going to tea and cool, but there are always a few points of warmth and coldness, and there must be people who are afraid of getting into trouble, and it is already good to be able to greet more than 20 people.

Fan Hongdao snorted coldly and hinted: "You must know that we are the force of the first assistant, and Shen Dagongzi is still the head of Nancheng's family, and from now on, Nancheng Yushi is only afraid that he will have to avoid Shendagongzi!"

With this layer of joints, others are not stupid, so the shopkeeper Wang agreed: "Then I will try my best to raise money in the future!" But the shopkeeper Wang was still very puzzled, what was the use of Fan Hongdao walking vigorously? Is it just a good time?

If you change to a person with a slippery head, you may not be able to do your best at this time, but Shopkeeper Wang has dealt with Fan Hongdao a lot in the past two years, so he doesn't think much about it, so he tries his best to prepare according to Fan Hongdao's requirements.
