Chapter 16 Multiple Choice Questions on Career and Love
Fang Zhongyong felt that he had returned to the state of the month before the college entrance examination. The only difference is that there are no countdown posters on the wall, and there are no slogans such as "as long as you don't die, you will learn to die" and other slogans that "destroy human nature".
Some people may say that the imperial examination is inhumane and unreasonable, but you can't say that it is unfair. For the Gangen class, the imperial examination had the only chance to move to a higher class, even though that chance seemed so slim.
Li Di, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai, and Du Yan, who were known as virtuous ministers during Renzong's time, were all born in poverty, especially Du Yan, who was a widow. According to historical records, "his mother changed to Heyang Qian's family", "his stepfather was not allowed, he was very poor, and he was self-financed". Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister who took "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world" as his own responsibility, remarried with his mother when he was two years old, and once changed his name to "Zhu Shuo (Yue)".
Some people will say, isn't it because there are few such people that it is widely publicized? But Fang Zhongyong felt that he was actually not so "cold" and cold. At least you don't have to drink a bowl of porridge a day, just a plate of pickles - deeply mourn for the physical condition of Mr. Fan for three minutes. In addition, he is already a little famous, and he has a good teacher to guide him, and he has good friends next to him, uh, making trouble.
No, after a month of high-intensity study, Yiyou (?) Zhang Panlong couldn't hold back the hormonal explosion. On February 17, as soon as Mr. announced that he would take a two-day break, he put his arm around Fang Zhongyong's shoulders and said, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, where do you want to play?" ”
Fang Zhongyong thought for a while and said: "I haven't returned for more than a month, so I should go home to see my parents." In addition, there are also five people to deal with the affidavit and guarantee matters, where is the time to play? ”
Zhang Panlong smiled freely: "There is no need for us to worry about the matter of guaranteeing the knot. Mr. Liu has already contacted his father, and all county school students have already arranged the relevant links of the examination. You just have to take the exam with peace of mind. As for going home, it's getting dark today, how can I go back? Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for a carriage to take you. ”
Fang Zhongyong was also very tired, so he said: "I don't know where Brother Zhang wants to go for a banquet, just have my own little brother to be the east." ”
Li Bin interjected: "You can drink and feast at any time, today we will go to Cuiyun Tower to listen to music." ”
Fang Zhongyongqi said: "I don't know how many brothers are still familiar with music theory, it's really disrespectful!" ”
Wang Qi, a real person, said: "Brother Xian, you study behind closed doors on weekdays, and you don't know what Cuiyun Tower is." Just a few of our brothers, there is not a single bone on the body, listen to the song of Raushzi. They don't want to listen to the music, they want to see the person who sings it. I heard that the girl is very charming, and she sings a good song, and her "Yulin Bell" is even more moving! After the real person finished speaking, he also made a "you know" expression to everyone.
Fang Zhongyong is really not interested in the ancient and modern Chu Pavilion. Because no matter how elegant the packaging is, the essence of the inside will never change. Perhaps the vast majority of "skilled women" have had an unpleasant life experience, but the benefits they gain from this profession are enough to make them forget the initial pain and immerse themselves in the "Wuling young and strife-minded, a song of red silk is unknown." The head of the cloud grate is shattered, and the blood-colored skirt is stained with wine. "In the great satisfaction of vanity brought about by a life of luxury.
Some officials said that you are a hypocrisy, so I don't believe that you are not interested in that entertainment venue, and you are still not a man. Man, Fang Zhongyong is sure of it, but I am afraid that the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl who can do it is not called a man, it should be called a beast!
At that time, Chu Guan often bought the little girl from the age of five or six, and taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, which is the standard for being a rich lady to support! But with investment, there must be a return. When he is twelve or thirteen years old, he will be pushed to the front desk to perform a show, which is called "Qing Qi Ren", which belongs to the existence of selling art and not selling it. When you are fourteen or fifteen years old (occupation restrictions, no more than seventeen), choose a person with outstanding wealth to comb (you know), and it will be considered a listing.
Whether this girl is a "clear man" or not, Li Bin, the son of the richest man in the county, did not make it clear. Yes, it doesn't matter; No, it doesn't matter. Fang Zhongyong just didn't drag his classmates and friends forcibly - at least that's how he comforted himself.
Unlike the most glorious buildings in the poor areas of later generations must be the "official residence", there are two most brilliant buildings in this county, one is the gambling house "Victory Fang", and the other is the Chu Pavilion "Cuiyun Building". Think about it, too, a poor, closed place, its economic pillar must be deformed and unhealthy.
Fang Zhongyong was looking at this unhealthy place. If you have to give an evaluation, it is equivalent to the level of a KTV in a small county, and even the third-rate clubs in medium-sized cities where Fang Zhongyong had the honor of working for a few days in his previous life are not as good. Look at the greasy case, the hygiene is not up to standard; You see a big teapot with yellow teeth wearing an environmentally friendly headscarf, and the quality of the staff is not up to par; Look at that...... Fang Zhongyong took the lead of multi-departmental joint law enforcement and picked faults one by one. In a word, bad reviews!
Fortunately, Li Bin is not a stingy person, and the private room and tea set are not bad; Fortunately, today's guest officials are not vulgar people, and they did not catch Mama Sang's hands. Otherwise, Fang Zhongyong would have fled long ago.
poured homemade Yunlin tea for several classmates, with the white magnetic tea cup in Jingdezhen, looking at the chaotic scene in the hall, Fang Zhongyong vaguely felt "everyone in the world is drunk and I am awake". Such a noisy situation, I'm afraid that it will be shattered like a dream in a hundred years, right?
Hearing only the sound of a chime, the lights in the hall were dimmed, and only the stage in front of them became brighter. Behind a curtain of white veil, Biren sang in a clear voice: "The cold cicada is poignant, the long pavilion is late, and the showers are at the beginning of the break." The capital tent has no clue, nostalgia, and Lan Zhou urges. Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, they were speechless and choked. Thinking of going, thousands of miles of smoke waves, twilight is heavy and the sky is wide.
Amorous parting since ancient times, it can be even more cold to the Qingqiu Festival! Where do you wake up tonight? The willow bank, the wind and the waning moon. This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are thousands of styles, who can you talk to? ”
Wang Qi is not wrong in what he said, this girl with a pity on the song "Yulin Bell" has put a lot of effort into it. The voice is sweet and the feelings are sincere. If Fang Zhongyong was the mentor of a talent show, he would probably turn around and shout "I wa."
t you". As for the dress, it proves that Wang Qi is really a real person. It's true that you don't wear much, or, well, very little!
Zhang Panlong and the others have seen such a formation. Their eyes were red, their wheezing quickened, and they were dumbfounded. Fang Zhongyong just smiled slightly. We are also good students who often enjoy Japanese films, how can we lose our minds for an ancient Chu Pavilion woman? Joke! He bent down slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Somehow, there was some thirst in my mouth too. It must be that I've been under too much pressure to study lately, and I'm a little angry. Well, it must be on fire! Looking at a few classmates, they are all general actions - bending over and drinking tea.
At this time, there was already a lot of noise in the hall. Without him, it's just a high-priced bid. The Song people are good at gambling, and if they don't agree with each other, they will "pounce on the sale" - similar to today's auctions. Because her mother Sang said that this girl from Cuiyun Lou turned around (poached) from Yangzhou at a high price, and there are masters with superb skills, so her value is naturally high. The starting price is ten, and the one with the highest price wins. It's very fair and reasonable, as long as you have money, you can get a kiss. As for the house, household registration, and car, it is used to choose a son-in-law, although it can also be attributed to a money word, but there is no need to pay attention to it at this time.
Unfortunately, Li Bin's family has money and Zhang Panlong's family has no money, but fortunately, Li Bin never looks at money when he makes friends, because none of him has money (see Wang Dashao's famous quotations for the source). What's even more unfortunate is that Li Bin and Zhang Panlong both have some ideas.
Zhang Panlong said hatefully: "Li Bin, you let my brother go back this time." I won't treat you badly. ”
Li Bin, who has always been responsible for paying the bill, was rarely angry: "Why didn't you let me?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Panlong's fist was about to make zero-distance contact with Li Bin's nose, Fang Zhongyong's words made Zhang Panlong stop drumming: "Is your buttocks okay?" He also said to Li Bin, who felt that he was missing his biggest competitor and was high-spirited: "My little brother suddenly thought of a song "Xijiang Yue", would my brother like to listen to it? ”
Li Bin was paying attention to the stock trend, uh no, the auction price, where was he in the mood to listen to "Xijiang Yue", waved his hand and said, "You can say it." ”
Fang Zhongyong didn't care about him, and read it out to himself: "Young people are competing for the wind and moon, and there are too many waves in the field. It is difficult to reconcile with money without appearance, and it is impossible to have appearance without money. Even if you are rich and good-looking, you still have to figure it out. Knowledgeable and interesting brother, who will race me in this way. ”
A few people listened carefully, good you Fang Zhongyong, you usually pretend to be serious, it turns out that you are a master of this way! Brother, please take my knees!
Fang Zhongyong didn't dare to take on the name of "Fengyue Team Leader", and said modestly: "It's all about listening to others." The man also said that if you want to read all the flowers, you must have the kung fu of Pan, Donkey, Deng, Xiao, and Leisure. ”
Several students with a strong desire for knowledge strongly asked Mr. Fang to carefully explain this skill-sounding kung fu. Fang Zhongyong has any actual combat experience, just following the book and making some fallacies.
Several students said that this gentleman was really a master, and strongly condemned Fang Zhongyong's stupid practice of "entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed" who only learned theory but had no practical experience.
Young people's emotions come and go quickly.
Fang Zhongyong saw that he had successfully diverted the attention of several people in the brain of a certain worm, and persuaded: "As the saying goes, my sister loves pretty, my mother loves money, and no one looks at me if I have no wealth or power." I think that I am waiting for a good man to benefit the township, or to roll up outside the Donghua Gate, how can I be sharp for this happy woman. Don't you hear about the middle of the stream? Dare to ask the ambition of the three brothers. ”
Zhang Panlong laughed and said, "Brother Xian wants to learn from Confucius and ask Zhihu? ”
Fang Zhongyong hurriedly said, "Don't dare."
Zhang Panlong waved his hand and said, "My brothers have no great ambitions. Roll call outside the Donghua Gate, I'm afraid that only you have a chance, Brother Xian, and we don't have much hope. ”
Li Bin has some consciousness of inheriting the ancestral business, and said: "I am willing to be a rich man." ”
Although Wang Qi is different, it is roughly the same, and he also said: "It is enough to live happily for a lifetime!" ”
Zhang Panlong even said: "My father said, if I can take the test to show my talent and fame, I will be qualified to ask for a grace official to do it after he becomes a scholar." Li Bin and Wang Qi's family is also considered to have some money, and it is not difficult to donate a nine-grade Ru Linlang or a nine-grade Wen Linlang. ”
This evil feudal society! I have worked hard to start as a primary school student, and the second generation of the family is already about to have an official position. Although he is just a literary official, he has no job and no money, and he belongs to the "three nos", he is already a big man in the eyes of the ordinary people.
