After Zhu Houzhao walked out, Fang Jifan looked at the melon shed with a smile, squatted down, and looked at the growth of the melon seedlings, which seemed to ...... It's not bad, this finger-long young seedling has stretched out a few young leaves, although the sun is not shining enough, fortunately it is warm here, and occasionally the sky is clear, and there will be light shining in from outside.

Fang Jifan grew up in the countryside in his previous life, and he barely had some agricultural knowledge, but he ...... At present, only God knows whether the watermelon seedlings planted in this experimental field can be planted or not.

After just a moment's effort, Zhu Houzhao came back with a bucket, took a water scoop, gently scooped the water, and carefully began to irrigate. Fang Jifan had taught him general knowledge before, but who expected this kid to be very familiar with it now, for fear that he would be watered too much.

But the more familiar this guy is, the more worried Fang Jifan is.

He even felt that Zhu Houzhao had been led astray by himself, and what would it be like if he continued to 'mess around' like this? What will future generations say? Suddenly, a scene appeared in Fang Jifan's mind, in the newspapers and publications of later generations, Zhu Houzhao of Ming Wuzong was mentioned, and a black bold font was written with the words 'I don't love the country and love watermelon'.

Zhu Houzhao talked about his more than a dozen melon seedlings, and his eyes lit up: "Lao Fang, they are all children, the name of the palace has been given to them, you see this plant, it is the general of Zhengdong, this plant, the text is weaker, the palace called him 'Record to join the army', this plant, born a little ugly, called 'Yangzhou Governor'......"

He introduced them one by one, and when he introduced the last plant, his eyes became brighter, and he said excitedly: "This child is the favorite of the palace, you look at it, it is stronger than others, you look at its branches and leaves, emerald green, mouth-watering, the palace calls it 'Champion Hou', haha, the three armies of the brave crown." ”

Champion Hou ...... Huo Qu's disease......

Hearing this, Fang Jifan's face couldn't help but pull down: "Your Highness, the champion Hou died early." ”

Zhu Houzhao blushed, and said with a determined face: "This is the champion of melons, and he will not die early." ”

“……”

After staying in the shed with Zhu Houzhao for almost a day, Fang Jifan came out of the shed, but he had a feeling of regaining his day.

Outside the shed, the eunuchs of the Zhan Mansion were in a circle, they were not allowed to enter the greenhouse, and Zhu Houzhao was afraid that they would trample the melon seedlings to death.

As soon as he saw Fang Jifan come out, Liu Jin hurriedly stepped forward: "General Fang Qi, Your Highness...... How is it? ”

"It's okay......" Fang Jifan said lightly, he didn't want to talk too much, just for a watermelon.

When I returned to the house, I couldn't help but feel a little tired, and the snow outside was a little lighter, but it was still cold. Before they could sit down, Tang Yin and Ouyang Zhi arrived together.

Tang Yin's face looked like his eyebrows fluttering, first he waved at Fang Jifan, and then said: "Follow the instructions of the teacher, the students will paint a painting in the past few days, and ask the teacher to correct it." ”

As soon as he heard that Tang Yin had painted, Fang Jifan cheered up: "Take it as a teacher and take a look." ”

Tang Yin was already carrying a scroll of paintings in his hand, and unfolded the scroll, Fang Jifan saw that this was a picture of a lady!

Well? Looking at these eyebrows, how do they look like little fragrance? Could it be that this inspiration comes from a small fragrance? Xiao Tang, your sister, do you still want to rob a woman with a teacher?

However, seeing that Tang Yin's eyes were pure, he seemed to be looking at the problem completely with an artistic eye, which made Fang Jifan's heart a little calmer.

Fang Jifan knew that Tang Yin was good at painting ladies, so looking at this guy's painting, what Fang Jifan saw was not the graceful and charming ladies poking their heads out of the pavilion in the painting, but the silver with white flowers.

Fang Jifan looked at the painting for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, good, good painting, this painting is bold, and the teacher likes it." ”

"......" Tang Yin was silent for a moment before he mustered up the courage to say: "Teacher, this is graceful, it is graceful woman......"

"It's the same thing." Fang Jifan nodded and said: "Art is always interconnected, Xiao Tang, painting well, I really love it as a teacher." ”

Ouyang Zhi and the three of them looked at the fourth child and his teacher studying the painting intimately, and there was a feeling of labor pain in their hearts.

Obviously, the three of them worked hard and worshiped the teacher for the longest time, but as soon as Tang Yin worshipped the door, he was so 'spoiled' by his teacher, he was really more angry than people.

Tang Yin also felt a little relieved in his heart, he had already entered the teacher's door, and he could get the praise and respect of his teacher, where was the bad thing? What's more, the teacher admires his talent so much, and he is also a little proud.

So Tang Yin hurriedly said: "The teacher likes it, take it to collect it yourself, the student is not good at painting, these days I have found a vacancy, and I will draw a few good ones, please teach the teacher." ”

Fang Jifan said in his heart, if you don't give me this painting, I will have to grab it, now that you are so active, you will be spared trouble.

Fang Jifan sat down, and the four protégés also sat down, asked someone to pour tea, and took a sip of tea comfortably, before he said: "You guys have been studying hard lately, preparing for the palace exam, huh...... When the teacher is free, he will naturally teach you the tricks of the palace examination. ”

Without waiting for Ouyang Zhi and the others to agree, Tang Yin immediately preemptively said: "Yes, the student obeys his fate." But...... The teacher ......" said, and he continued with a sad face: "I don't know about the student's brother Xu Jing......

In the past few days, Tang Yin has actually been very uneasy.

Xu Jing stayed in prison for one more day, and he couldn't eat much, after all, he was a close friend, where was Jinyiwei, where was the cramping and peeling skin, now Xu Jing's life and death were unknown, and Tang Yin's heart was heavy.

In fact, just worshipping Fang Jifan as a teacher, Tang Yin was a little reluctant, although Fang Jifan's 'unintentional' saved himself, but after all, in his heart, Fang Jifan's 'person' was a little problematic, but since Fang Jifan agreed to rescue Xu Jing, he was impressed by his teacher, so he began to have a sense of belonging to Fang Jifan.

As soon as Fang Jifan heard Tang Yin mention Xu Jing, he sighed in his heart, this guy really can't forget Xu Jing, now that he is stable, Fang Jifan likes this kind of protégé who values love and righteousness, and in the second half of his life, he will eat you.

Tang Yin saw that Fang Jifan didn't answer, his eyes turned red again, and he choked up and said: "Teacher, in fact, the student also knows that this matter is extremely difficult, and the fact that Xu Jing committed is too big, the student knows that even if the teacher goes out, not only will he bear the responsibility, but it may also be useless, and all the student can do is to be a cow and a horse for the teacher in the future." ”

Fang Jifan squinted, but smiled: "As the teacher said, if Xu Jing can be safe and sound, he will be safe and sound, you can relax." It seemed that in order to reassure Tang Yin, he said cautiously: "Guarantee the teacher's personality." ”

A man's commitment is important......

Although Fang Jifan's promise of a loser doesn't seem to be worth a few dollars.

But it doesn't matter, Fang Jifan is indeed careful about Xu Jing's matter, he was still thinking that as long as time passes, sooner or later His Majesty will order Li Dongyang to investigate thoroughly, and the final result will be that the matter will be over.

But...... It can't be said that it is conclusive, but in fact, although there is no evidence, because of this, it is so widely involved, and even the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and Gongsheng have been imprisoned, and it is impossible to finally announce it to the people of the world, and it is wrong.

Therefore, the final result, although Xu Jing saved a life, it was only a life, Xu Jing's fate was not very good, he was dismissed from his fame, abolished as a clerk, and he couldn't turn over in this life.

And Cheng Minzheng also died of depression because of the lack of Zhaoxue.

Fang Jifan didn't have a deep impression of these two people, even when he was reading history, it was actually difficult to have too much sympathy, but now, ...... Looking at Tang Yin's repeated pleas, Fang Jifan's mind moved.

If...... Did I really save them?

This thought only crossed in an instant, and Fang Jifan laughed and said, "Okay, let's go study." ”

The melon seedlings in the greenhouse are growing day by day, and after a few days of heavy snowfall, the weather has cleared up a bit, and all the actions of the court are actually as expected by Fang Jifan, sure enough, Li Dongyang was ordered to investigate thoroughly, and after he consulted countless confessions and interrogated many witnesses, he immediately went to the warm pavilion and reported to Emperor Hongzhi.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was still resentful because of Zhu Houzhao's affairs.

This fool, in such weather, he actually went to plant melons, such a whim, it is simply inexplicable.

It's just a matter of planting melons, and I don't know how to cherish rare treasures, those flowers and stones, which one is not priceless, and as a result, they are all destroyed.

If you're wrong, admit it, but what about it, it's still a dead duck with a hard mouth, and you still want to involve Fang Jifan, no matter how stupid Fang Jifan is, can you be as stupid as you? If people are really stupid to this point, how can they teach three tribute students?

What kind of iniquity did this create, that such a son was born?

He shook his head and sighed again, but the little eunuch on the side looked very frightened.

He was ordered to go to Zhan Shifu to see what the prince was doing, and now he came back to report, and when Emperor Hongzhi saw his panicked appearance, he knew that there was no good result, and put down the note at hand: "Say ......"

The little eunuch stammered: "His Royal Highness the Prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... is still planting melons, not only that, but also said that they want to eat and sleep with melon seedlings...... His Royal Highness named the melon seedlings...... Call...... Call the champion Hou ......"

“……”

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Fortunately, Li Dongyang's request to see Emperor Hongzhi suppressed his anger and recovered his complexion.

Li Dongyang entered the cabinet, saluted, and then said, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

"How?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Li Dongyang deeply.

Li Dongyang was silent for a moment before he said, "There is no evidence." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

Li Dongyang immediately said: "All the witnesses have been re-interrogated, and most of them are vague and ironclad. Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing, Lao Chen also passed the hall in person, from their words, Lao Chen can conclude that the fact that they confessed before was also the result of torture. ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "You mean, Jinyi Wei Qu made a move?" ”
