On February 22, the report card was released. Fang Zhongyong was unsurprisingly elected the best, uh no, the head of the case.

It's just that this case is a little smaller, only fifteen people. But it was also the first in the school, and a group of classmates asked the first student to have dinner.

Fang Zhongyong was about to agree, and there was the old man: "According to the rules, we should go to thank Lord Xie Zhi, Lord County, Mr. Liu, and Mr. Wu first, and we must not lose our courtesy." ”

As soon as everyone heard that it made sense, the two gentlemen should thank themselves, and the two adults had made meritorious contributions to the papers, so they also went to thank them.

According to the size of the official position, go to the magistrate first.

The magistrate lives in the county office, the front office office, the backyard life, and it is very convenient to commute. The Lord of Nazhi County received a group of students who had just been upgraded to continuous silver in the backyard. Not particularly sluggish, nor particularly enthusiastic. He also knew that his three-year term was about to expire, and there were not many opportunities to deal with everyone, so he put out his desire to win over. The other party, Zhongyong, only encouraged a few words and gave a scholarship of 200 Wen. Fang Zhongyong held the nearly one pound of two hundred dollars, and secretly slandered himself: Really slammed the door. For these people, the money for a meal is not enough, and they have to add some more.

The county lord is much more enthusiastic, after all, he is a native of the local, and his Jinxi dialect sounds kind. Unlike Nalu Zhixian who speaks half-baked Yayan (Henan Luoyang dialect), Fang Zhongyong thinks of a certain cross talk actor's "Death and Turtle Sun" every time he hears it. Imagine: In the place where Yayan is spoken the most, in the court of Bianliang, Tokyo, the minister said, "Your Majesty, do you want to see if this is the right thing?" The emperor said "in". It's simply the visual sense of the cross talk contest scene.

The county lord first affirmed the excellent results of everyone, and hoped that he could make persistent efforts and climb new heights in the next exams. He also said that if everyone has any difficulties in the future, just come to him, and he will definitely help solve them. The generous county lord did not disappoint everyone, and every student who passed the county examination was awarded a scholarship consistently, and the first prize was doubled.

Fang Zhongyong wanted to shout "don't double", carrying nearly twenty catties of copper coins on his back This is not a reward, this is a punishment for hard work. However, I finally had the money to treat the guests to dinner.

The county lord was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and understood that everyone had to go to Mr.'s house to thank him, and invited everyone to drink a bowl of "oil tea" (where does Fang Zhongyong, a poor ghost, understand the life of the rich?). After that, he personally sent him out of the door. He took Fang Zhongyong's hand and said affectionately: "You and Panlong are like brothers, and you can often come to the house to sit in the future." ”

"Lord Xie County Cheng raises love."

The county lord said: "Why are you so angry, will shouting uncle weaken your reputation?" ”

Fang Zhongyong is as good as flowing: "Uncle taught me a lesson. ”

inexplicably had an uncle, and Fang Zhongyong didn't feel at a loss. Don't look at Zhang Panlong's habitual habits, but the quality is not bad, and he is quite loyal, it is really suitable to be a friend. As for the practice of the county lord's investment potential stocks as a way back, Fang Zhongyong could only say: "You are too discerning. ”

Seeing Mr. Liu, it is not appropriate to be empty-handed. In the hearts of everyone, Mr. Liu is his own teacher, and the county and county can only be said to be etiquette. Fang Zhongyong came out of the way, and others scraped together some money and bought some study utensils, presumably Mr. would not refuse.

Mr. Liu was at home, and when he saw everyone coming, he was very puzzled. After hearing what he meant, he smiled slightly and said, "I don't care about these false courtesies. It is enough for you to study, know the righteousness and etiquette, and do more things for the benefit of the country and the people in the future. ”

Seeing Fang Zhongyong take out the gift, he suddenly said a little unpleasantly: "If you don't wait for production, how can you spend money to buy these things indiscriminately?" Will the old man lack these things from you? ”

Fang Zhongyong hurriedly explained: "This is all bought with the money rewarded by the county magistrate and the county lord, and we didn't pay out of our own pockets. ”

Everyone hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”

After all, it was a day of great joy, and my wife couldn't stand it: "Students come to thank you, you should be happy." What is the reason for being always surprised? ”

Mr. Liu smiled and said to a group of disciples, "It's for the sake of the teacher." Han Changli said, a teacher, preaching and teaching to solve doubts. The old man has no talent and no virtue, and he can't be the teacher of the preacher; I don't have much knowledge or power, and I can't solve your doubts. It's just taught you a little superficial knowledge, and it's not in vain that you call the old man a master. ”

Everyone said in unison: "The master is of noble character and knowledgeable, and he is a model for my generation. ”

Mr. Liu said again: "Seeing that your wings are stiff and about to fly away, I feel sad in my heart, so don't care." You are still young, and when you are marching bravely, you must not learn from the old man who has wasted his years. If you are lucky enough to gain fame, you can be awarded an official and a half-position, and you must not be corrupt and pervert the law, and be a prestige. Otherwise, don't look at the old man's lack of power and power, he will definitely be ruined. "At the end of the day, it's all about it.

Everyone was awe-struck, and their slightly arrogant hearts because they passed the county test also calmed down.

Fang Zhongyong was even more frightened, so he got the first place in the small county test and floated? There are still a lot of big bosses to fight in the back!

Everyone also had no intention of eating at Mr. Liu's, so they went to Mr. Wu's house with a heavy heart.

Different from the shabby of Mr. Liu's family, Mr. Wu's family has been an official eunuch for generations, and the house has three entrances, and the construction is also very elegant. Everyone walked through the courtyard before they saw Mr. Wu.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu was accustomed to taking the usual path, so he opened his mouth and said, "Why did you come last?" Don't you dislike the old man's official position as good as the county magistrate and county Cheng, and the closeness is not as good as Liu Bida? ”

Everyone looked at each other, what kind of nonsense did you tell the truth as soon as you came up? Just when he was embarrassed, Fang Zhongyong turned around and said, "The latter, Houye." We will not care about these false courtesies. That's why I finally came to thank Mr. Xie, please forgive me! ”

The high hat was sent, and Mr. Wu turned his anger into joy: "Slippery head!" Presumably you have eaten enough of the pedantic Liu Wenda, so it is not difficult for you. Now that I have arrived at the humble house, I have no chance to escape. Come on, serve wine. Let the singer sing "Golden Clothes". By the way, what about your gifts? "This is going to stick to the unconventional path to the end!

The crowd looked at each other again. I was dizzy from the training just now, and I forgot about this stubble! Fang Zhongyong, or Fang Zhongyong, "turned the tide".

Fang Zhongyong unhurriedly took out a paper bag from his arms and said to Mr. Wu, who asked for a gift: "Yunlin, new tea." ”

Mr. Wu smiled knowingly: "Count you as a kid." ”

For a time, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the water and land dojos, uh no, the water and land are complete. With the sweet voice of the singer, everyone unconsciously drank high in the song.

Mr. Wu, who was clearly a fighter of the "alcohol test", raised his glass again and shouted, "Drink to win!" ”

Everyone had no choice but to drink another glass. Those who drank a little worse were "heroically sacrificed" on the spot. The rest of them are also red-faced and crumbling.

Only Fang Zhongyong still seemed sober, and Mr. Wu decided that he couldn't let him go, so he asked: "Everyone else is drunk, why aren't you drunk?" Isn't it because you dislike my wine? ”

This question was unreasonable, and Fang Zhongyong's answer was even more unreasonable: "Everyone else is already drunk, why should I be drunk?" "Joke, as a northerner, you can't drink a pound of liquor above 50 degrees can you call it drinking? Is this low-alcohol rice wine wine? It's a drink!

Mr. Wu sighed and said drunkly: "The head of the case is really different, I already knew it." If I had a daughter, I would have taken you as a son-in-law. By the way, my sister who married into the Wang family has a daughter who is the same age as you, and she is both talented and good-looking. What do you think? ”

Fang Zhongyong's three-point wine suddenly turned into cold sweat and flowed down. Oh, my God! Isn't the sister he married into the Wang family Wang Anshi's mother? Do I want to be Wang Anshi's brother-in-law? No, absolutely not! If anyone has such a brother-in-law, they have to be tossed to death by him! No way! Absolutely not!

Fang Zhongyong glanced at Mr. Wu deeply: "Mr. is drunk!" ”

Mr. Wu was stunned for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Yes, the old man is drunk." He muttered again, "It's a pity that Wei'er doesn't have that blessing!" Alas, pity my beautiful niece! ”

Fang Zhongyong saw that his interest was exhausted, and staying any longer would only increase his embarrassment, so he took his leave and left.

Back at Mr. Liu's house, Mr. Liu was drinking tea in the living room, and when he saw that Fang Zhongyong was more sober and came back, he also nodded secretly, and the other party Zhongyong's self-control was quite praised. Cordially said to Fang Zhongyong: "Have a cup of tea and go to the wine." Fang Zhongyong obediently refilled the cup for Mr. before pouring himself a glass. Sure enough, tea is a cleansing child. A cup of tea is down, and the whole body is full of Thailand.

Just thinking that there was something missing today, I heard Mr. say: "With your talents, the state test and road test are just ordinary, and the fame of showing talent is just a matter of exploring your pockets." But I don't know, have you ever thought about going to the exam, the provincial exam, or even the palace exam? Speaking of this, Mr. Liu's voice lowered, and there was a feeling of plotting a rebellion.

But it's understandable that you, a white body with no merit and a nameless body, shouting "I want to be the champion", are either megalomaniac or insane. Therefore, to keep a low profile, "get up" is the right solution.

Fang Zhongyong said with some embarrassment: "I have also fantasized about it. ”

Mr. Liu laughed: "People don't take young people lightly!" You don't need to be shy, I'm about to share this with you. In April, you must first go to Fuzhou to take the state test, and then go to Hongzhou to take the road test in June. After winning Xiucai, he had to stay in Hongzhou to participate in the Jiangnan West Road test, and then he had to travel 3,000 miles to Tokyo to participate in the provincial test held in Shangshu Province. Of course, this is when everything goes well. If you can participate in the palace examination, you will not be dethroned, and a Jinshi fame is enough to make you glorify your ancestors. After being promoted to the rank of sergeant, he will be conferred an officer, and there are few opportunities to be assigned to the local area. In other words, if you embark on the road to the imperial examination this time, you will never have the opportunity to return to your hometown. Are you ready? ”

Fang Zhongyong couldn't help but be stunned, he was accustomed to the convenience of transportation in later generations, and he never thought that the journey would be the biggest obstacle for him to return to his hometown to reunite with his relatives and friends. The parents are old, and the villagers have not really gotten rid of poverty and become rich, how to solve the problem? He was lost in deep thought.

After a long time, Fang Zhongyong raised his head and said, "If you live a mediocre life, you would rather die!" I participated in the scientific expedition not only to glorify my ancestors, but also to be able to do something for the country and the people. Let our country be stronger and richer, so that more people can live happily. When I settle down, I will definitely take my parents to my side to pay respect. With the presence of my husband and others in my hometown, coupled with the farming method that I have gradually implemented, I will be able to worry about food and clothing. ”

Mr. Liu praised the festival: "The husband should be like this!" ”

While sleeping, Fang Zhongyong suddenly felt a little ridiculous. Two self-proclaimed learned people discussed the practice of steaming and braising for a long time for the geese that were still flying in the sky, and even considered the difficulty of chopping wood in advance, isn't it a bit silly? Of course, maybe after boiling the water, the geese also beat down? Who knows?
