The phrase "the law is not expensive, and the rope is not twisted" is a famous saying of Han Feizi, a generation of Legalist thoughts. In fact, Fu Jun originally wanted to write the other two sentences, that is, "The punishment does not avoid the minister, and the reward does not spare the husband".

This is the most standard theory of "the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people", and it is a criticism of the Confucian system of "courtesy is not inferior to the commoners, and punishment is not the doctor".

However, Fu Jun finally chose the more euphemistic two sentences. These masters are all Confucian scholars, and in order to pass the exam successfully, she is still cautious. As for the two sentences added above, they are to correspond to the scene of the painting. After all, there are trees and grass in the painting, which is a metaphor for the nobles and the common people.

After writing this page, Fu Jun finished the morning exam.

However, the examination of this dynasty did not end the examination early and leave early, but implemented the principle of starting and ending in a unified manner.

Therefore, after writing, Fu Jun first put the paper aside, then washed the brush, and packed up the ink ingots and other things, and after a while, the bell rang outside again, which meant that the exam was over.

Fu Jun took the test paper in his hand, and after the superintendent opened the door, he handed it to the superintendent before walking out of the examination room.

Following the candidates out of the gate of Baishi Academy, Fu Jun only felt thirsty and hungry.

There were many people of carriages and horses in front of the gate of the academy, and Fu Jun only glanced at it, and saw Fu Geng in the crowd at a glance.

The so-called Zhilan-like face and fairy-like temperament can be said to be Fu Geng's type, which can be seen at a glance even though tens of millions of people can.

Fu Jun sighed as he walked over to Fu Geng. Xu Niangzi and others also greeted them, and Fu Geng said softly: "Are you tired?" ”

Fu Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, but I want to take a sip of tea first." ”

Fu Geng frowned slightly, glanced at his daughter with pity, and said in a harmonious voice: "You get in the car first, and we will go to Shangyuanguan Restaurant." I have already booked a private room, and I have asked someone to prepare a bed, so you can rest for a while after eating. ”

Fu Jun really felt a little bit of the college entrance examination at this time. Fu Geng, a parent, is obviously very qualified, so she also smiled: "Great, I haven't eaten the good food of Shangyuan Pavilion when I'm so big, I have to ask my father to spend a lot of money today." ”

Listened to this. Fu Geng couldn't help laughing.

However, the smile only came to his brows, and suddenly a layer of sadness swept over his heart.

The daughter has grown up so big that she has never come out to eat with him, the father. Fu Geng only thought about it, and felt a faint pain in his heart.

The daughters of his colleagues. Which one wasn't pampered by his father and brother? The good dishes of Shangyuan Pavilion, the dim sum of Meifang Pavilion, and the tea and fruit of Tianxiang Pavilion, these delicious and fun places, who has not experienced the girls in those high gates?

Thinking of this, the hidden pain in Fu Geng's heart turned into pity.

He really owes too much to this daughter. Even the exemption quota of Baishi Academy, and finally his daughter gave it to others, and he had to come to participate in the entrance examination of this Laoshizi, Fu Geng felt ashamed when he thought about it, and the tip of his nose was a little sour for a while.

He flicked his sleeve in disguise, and Fang smiled and said in a harmonious voice, "If you like it." In the future, Dad will take you out for more shopping. The high-ranking women in this capital also often come out to shop, no better than Gusu. ”

As soon as Fu Jun heard this, his heart immediately blossomed.

This is a good thing, besides, in the future, she will open a shop in Beijing, and she really needs to know more about the customs and folklore of the capital, the price of consumption, etc. Fu Geng's words are endorsing her.

So she immediately burst out laughing again, and said to Fu Geng: "Dad, don't forget what you say, you must take your daughter out for a walk." You can't take your daughter out, and you have to allow your daughter to come out for a walk occasionally. ”

Fu Geng said with a smile: "I won't forget." So saying, he turned over and got on his horse.

Fu Jun also got into the carriage. The father and daughter went to the Shangyuan Pavilion Restaurant.

Baishi Academy is located at the southern end of Jinling City, but it is at the corner of Suzaku Street, and the distance is quite close.

Probably because he was afraid that his daughter would be bored in the car, Fu Geng deliberately drove a horse to follow the car. Fu Jun also lifted a corner of the curtain, and the two of them talked idly. For a while, Fu Geng pointed out the surrounding scenery again, and occasionally discussed with Fu Jun about the customs of Jinling, but he was also free along the way.

Fu Geng actually wanted to ask Fu Jun about the exam. However, my daughter has to take two exams in the afternoon, so I have to ask too much at the moment. Fu Geng was afraid that it would affect his daughter's mood. So I endured it, and I was afraid that Fu Jun would worry about the interview in the afternoon, so he only talked about it to pass the time.

Fu Tanhua is already giving words, and he is also elegant and knowledgeable, and this interrupted gossip is really more attractive than the storyteller in Fu Jun's ears, and he listens to it with relish.

The father and daughter were talking to themselves, when they suddenly heard someone next to them call: "Master Fu." ”

Fu Geng stopped talking and followed the prestige, but saw a group of people coming out of a bookstore next to him, the leader was tall and handsome, but it was Yuan Ke.

Fu Geng hurriedly motioned to Xu Niangzi to cover the curtain, and while dismounting, he stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "How did you get here?" ”

Yuan Ke pulled Wang Jin beside him and saluted Fu Geng: "We are also acquaintances on the road. ”

That Wang Jin reluctantly saluted Fu Geng, and then two people came out next to him and saluted Fu Geng: "I've seen Master Fu." ”

Fu Geng took a closer look, only to find that these two people were actually Tang Xiu and Tang Jun. He glanced at Wang Jin again, and said, "Get up quickly." ”

Tang Xiu and Tang Jun got up immediately, and Tang Jun's eyes couldn't stop glancing at the carriage behind Fu Geng.

Speaking of which, since Wang Jin and Yuan Ke were unveiled in Chunqiu, they can both participate in the palace examination because they are both on the list and their rankings are not low.

Originally, the temple test was supposed to be held after the apricot list. Unfortunately, because the Queen Mother was ill, the saint was pure and filial piety, so he postponed the time of the palace examination to the end of September on the grounds of personally serving the sick.

Therefore, after Yuan Ke returned to Gusu, he returned to Beijing in early September. However, Wang Jin accepted Fu Jun's suggestion and stayed in Beijing and never returned home.

Fu Geng was happy to see them, and a few people said a few more words.

At this time, I saw two more people coming out of the bookstore, the first one was jade, gentle and handsome, but he was a beautiful young man like a jade tree. He walked out of the bookstore and said, "Brother Yuan, have you found that set of "Ming Chapter Dian Xiu"? His voice was as melodious as a zither, and it was unforgettable.

After the young man finished speaking, he realized that there was a person standing in front of Yuan Ke, so he stopped and turned his head to look, but he saw a man standing in front of him who looked like a fairy and had slightly white temples, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
