Half an hour later, after Wan Qiyu conferred the rank on the last new science sergeant, he said a few words of encouragement and turned to leave. Zhong Jinshi was already a court official from this moment on, and most of them met their expectations with a smile on their faces, and they all left with a smile.

Fang Zi'an also turned around and walked out, Zhao Changlin walked up to him and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zi'an, they are a communiqué personal vendetta, you don't have to be uncomfortable, this matter has to be fought on the basis of reason." They can't be allowed to do that. You are a dignified detective, how can you go to a place like the Defense Army? That's just a firefighter. It's too much of a deception. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Brother Changlin, you have granted the Chao County Order, which is very good. I heard that the people of that place were simple and good, but they were a little poor. When you go, you can do something for the local people. I'm afraid you're going to take office in the next two days. I'll be the east tonight, and I'll practice it for you with Qian Kang. I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a long time. You have to drink all night, talk all night. ”

Zhao Changlin said softly: "Brother Zi'an, if you don't want to mention it, I won't say it." Hey, I'm afraid that I won't be able to make a name for myself, they have already arranged all this, and the emperor's list of eyes should not be changed easily. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Don't worry about this matter, I don't care, what do you care about?" If they play yin, let them play, and they only have these unsightly means. ”

Zhao Changlin sighed and was about to speak, when a loud laugh came from behind him: "Fang Zi'an, hahaha, congratulations, Fang Zi'an." The head of the defense army is thin, this official position sounds very good. Promising. Hahaha. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Tanhualang for taking up the post of commander of the defense army. ”

Fang Zi'an and Zhao Changlin turned their heads to look, only to see Qin Tan walking over with a big smile, his face full of ridicule and pride.

"What kind of ability is it to play tricks in secret, fake public and private? Shameful! Zhao Changlin said angrily.

Qin Tan frowned and glared at Zhao Changlin and said, "Oh, and you, I actually forgot to have you." ”

"What rank did he bestow?" Qin Tan asked the dozen or so new science and technology scholars who followed behind him.

"Chaoxian County Order." Someone replied.

"Damn, I forgot about you, you are in a group with the surname Fang, I think of you. It's cheap, and you got a county order. I didn't notice you before, otherwise I would have arranged an official position for you to be a watchman. Qin Tan said.

A new science and technology practitioner behind him joked: "Then aren't the two of them one arson and one watch, and they have become a perfect match?" At night, a street full of shouting 'dry things and be careful of fire candles' and a street full of people playing more, with seamless cooperation? ”

"Hahaha." Qin Tan laughed wildly when he heard this.

Fang Zi said quietly: "Qin Tan, you're very happy, aren't you?" ”

Qin Tan's laughter stopped, and he leaned up and whispered: "This is the end of going against me, wait, you will suffer it." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and said: "Okay, I'll see what tricks you can play, coax one, don't have the courage to compete with me head-on, you only dare to rely on these shady means, which is contemptible!" Don't you hate me? Do you want my life? I'm not alive and well. What happened to the defense of the main body? Isn't he also a seven-rank official? I'm not yet moisturized as my officer, did you bite me into a piece of meat? You hate me so much, you play tricks to get me, don't you still obediently give me an official? How much ability do I have to think of you, you can take all my official positions, it turns out that it is so big. Cowardice one. ”

Qin Tan changed color and said angrily: "You dare to scold me for cowardice? ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "You are not only cowardly, but also unplanted. I'm afraid you're not a yin and yang person, don't you have eggs. ”

Qin Tan scolded angrily: "You! You dog, look for death! ”

Fang Zi'an said: "Yes, I'm looking for death, you stab me with a knife." Go get a knife. There are soldiers at the door, and they have blades on them, so go and take them and cut me. ”

Qin Tan was extremely angry and wanted to have a seizure, but suddenly his face changed and he sneered: "You want to provoke me, don't you?" Hehe, I'm not fooled by you. You are full of anger now, and if you want to provoke me to stab you with a knife, you can do it. Think beautifully

I'm not fooled. You can get uncomfortable, I won't be provoked by you. Fang Zi'an, don't worry, there is something for you to feel good about. I'm going to drink and celebrate, you, slowly feel uncomfortable. ”

Qin Tanhaha laughed and waved his hand, and walked away with a group of people. Fang Zi'an took a sip and sneered: "If you don't plant anything, you don't dare to do it when you point your nose and scold." ”

Zhao Changlin said: "Brother Zi'an, don't be angry with this kind of person, let's drink too." A straw bale of dog fighting. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and Zhao Changlin turned around and walked out, out of the gate of the political hall, but saw a person standing at the door, but it was Zhang Xiaoxiang. Zhang Xiaoxiang saw Fang Zi'an come out, and slowly stepped forward to salute.

"Brother Fang Nian is polite." Zhang Xiaoxiang said in a deep voice.

Fang Zi'an hurriedly returned the salute: "Hello Zhuangyuanlang." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiang said: "Are you okay?" ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "What's good?" ”

Zhang Xiaoxiang said: "Someone deliberately corrected you about the appointment of officials, which is not fair. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "It turned out to be this matter, it's nothing, I don't have big ambitions, it's good to be a firefighting team." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiang nodded and said, "It's good for you to think so, I thought you would be sad, and I wanted to comfort you a few words." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Brother Zhang Nian has a heart, thank you." But don't comfort me, I didn't take it to heart at all. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiang nodded and said, "That's good, then I'll leave." When we have the opportunity in the future, we will get together. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiang didn't say anything more, arched his hand and walked away quickly. Fang Zi'an looked at his back thoughtfully. Zhao Changlin said in a low voice: "Is Brother Zi'an familiar with him?" ”

Fang Zi'an shook his head and said, "The first time I spoke, I had never been in the future before. ”

Zhao Changlin said with a smile: "It seems that he is interested in you, and he wants to comfort you, maybe he is a friend worth dating." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "I don't dare to make friends with him, but don't hurt him." People may just show their concern. Let's go, let's drink. Celebrate the end of the imperial examination, you and I have finally become officials. Either way, we've finally reached a new level. Only we know how difficult this is, and of course it is worth celebrating. ”

Zhao Changlin said with a smile: "That's right, don't think about anything else, let's climb up from the quagmire." ”

The two talked and laughed and walked out of the main gate of Li on Zhonghe Street, and when they didn't walk long, someone shouted Fang Zi'an on the side of the road. Fang Zi'an turned his head to look, but it was Shi Hao standing under a big tree and beckoning to him. Shi Hao didn't wear an official uniform, he was dressed like a middle-aged scribe, shaking with a folding fan in his hand.

"Master Shi, why are you here?" Fang Zi'an hurriedly went over to salute.

Shi Hao glanced at Fang Zi'an's face a few times, and said with a smile: "Spring is good, take advantage of the good spring, I'll go out for a walk." Come with me. ”

Fang Zi'an was a little puzzled, and pointed to Zhao Changlin, who was standing on the other side of the road, and said, "Brother Changlin is still there." ”

Shi Hao glanced at it and said with a smile: "Let him ride your horse away, you can walk with me." ”

Fang Zi'an had no choice but to come over and tell Zhao Changlin. Zhao Changlin said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll ride your horse and go back to clean up first, and I have to write a letter to the family or something, let's drink wine at night, and I'll ride your horse to your house at night." You go and leave me alone. ”

Zhao Changlin got on the horse and left slowly, and Fang Zi'an came to Shi Hao's side. Shi Hao didn't say a word, and slowly went down to the dock not far away. When they arrived at the dock, a small awning boat was parked there, and an old boatman was waiting with his oars. Shi Hao jumped on the bow of the boat, Fang Zi'an also got on the boat, Shi Hao waved his hand and said to the old boatman: "Feel free to drive the boat, there is no purpose, the scenery there is good, just drive it." ”

The old boatman agreed, and rocked the oars. The boat entered the fork of the river after a short journey from the busy middle river, and the green trees on the bank covered the houses of the people on the bank, and it looked like a picture from a distance.

Shi Hao sat at the bow of the boat, took out a jar of wine out of nowhere, beckoned to Fang Zi'an and smiled: "Zi'an."

, come and drink. ”

Fang Zi'an was confused, and he didn't know what Shi Hao was going to do, why he suddenly had such a boat trip. And the strange thing is that he was obviously waiting for him to come out at the gate of the palace, and specially invited himself.

"Drink wine, wine can dispel sorrows!" Shi Hao said in a low voice. poured a bowl for Fang Zi'an, poured a bowl himself, raised the wine bowl and took a big sip, Fang Zi'an also had to take a sip.

"The scenery here is so beautiful, but in fact, it may not be to the West Lake. The scenery of the Chahe River in Lin'an City is also extremely beautiful, and it is beautiful as far as the eye can see. Shi Hao looked around and said.

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Master Shi, why are you so Yaxing today? ”

Shi Hao turned his head to look at Fang Zi'an and said, "Me?" I don't have Yaxing, I'm with you to relax. Are you feeling better? ”

Fang Zi'an was stunned and said with a wry smile: "My mood? When am I in a bad mood? ”

Shi Hao frowned and said, "Don't pretend, I know you're in a bad mood, so I specially waited at the gate of the palace to take you out to relax." Look at this wine, it's Du Kang. 'The only way to solve your worries is Du Kang', you can drink more, and you can be relieved. ”

Fang Zi'an thought for a while and smiled: "My lord is talking about today's official award?" ”

Shi Hao said: "Otherwise? Do you feel angry in your heart? Are you disappointed in me and the prince? I promised you that you would enter the Hanlin Academy, but I didn't. If you have anger in your heart, you will spill it out on me. ”

Fang Zi'an scratched his head and smiled: "It turns out that the adults were afraid that I would be angry, so they took me out to play and relax." Thank you, sir. But, I'm really fine. ”

Shi Hao was puzzled: "Really? Go and be a little boss in the defense army, aren't you angry? That's a place with no future. ”

Fang Zi'an said: "The matter has come to this, can I still cry and grab the earth?" I was surprised, but now I'm relieved. The old thieves and their gang are playing tricks behind their backs, what can I do? I just didn't expect them to do it to me so quickly. I've just joined the ranks, a bunch of bastards. ”

Shi Hao sighed and said, "Yes, I didn't expect it with the prince. But this is actually not a trick, they are openly assigning you to the defense army, and after the prince and I learned about it, there was no reason to save the matter. ”

Fang Zi'an was surprised: "What does that mean?" What does it mean to be above board? ”

Shi Hao smiled bitterly: "What have you done before, don't you know yourself?" ”

Fang Zi'an was even more puzzled, drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and said in a deep voice: "Master Shi, don't sell Guanzi." What is the reason for this? ”
