Inside Baoming Temple.

Mrs. Li looked at Fan Jin with a smile on her face, her eyes were full of approval, but Fan Jin always felt that there was something else besides appreciation. The other party doesn't know what to say, so it's not good for me to talk about it.

The age difference between the two is more than ten years, and they are women and men, and most people will be a little resistant to this kind of older women. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of Luo Likong was in charge, and this was even more so. Even if Li's status is noble, the scholar herself is an upper-class group in society and does not have to buy her account. After ordinary people feel her feelings, most of them will choose to explicitly refuse or stay away.

But Fan Jin's psychological age is much older than his physical age, and he is a sister, and a woman older than himself is not excluded. Just like among the several women in the family, the person who has the deepest relationship with him is actually Liang Pandi. He doesn't mind Li's age, in terms of appearance, Li is stronger than Brother Pan, although his temperament is pretended to be holy and noble, he is always better than Brother Liang Pan.

Compared with a little girl, a woman of this age generally knows how to advance and retreat, and she will not have unrealistic fantasies and will not be entangled. He doesn't mind having anything to do with such a woman, but the family behind the Li family is too scary, and he is the queen mother's stand-in. If you don't get into trouble if you touch her, Fan Jin doesn't dare to take the initiative to flirt, but when the other party shows a good impression, he will be perfunctory, and he gets along very well with the two.

At this time, Li was full of smiles, and he tasted a little frivolously:

"Fan Gongzi, congratulations on your undergraduate high school Huiyuan, I have long said that Fan Gongzi is a talented man in the world and a future pillar of the imperial court. Today, Xianjie South Palace, he will be able to win the Toad Palace and dominate the throne. ”

"Mrs. has won the award, Fan Moucai is shallow and does not dare to have this delusion. This time, Mrs. Huiyuan Duo was able to win this honor thanks to her help, and Xiaosheng really didn't know how to repay it. ”

Li smiled slightly: "Fan Gongzi is too modest, how can a person outside the concubine have such strength?" Say a few words, read a few verses for Fan Gongzi and ask for the blessing of God and Buddha, as for the fame of Huiyuan, it is still changed by Fan Gongzi's article, and then there is the blessing of God and Buddha, and the concubine does not dare to take credit. The meeting is different from the champion, everyone knows it during the palace examination, who wins the champion and who wins the list, all of them look at the face. Fan Gongzi's yuan is in the name, and if he wants to be a concubine, it is much more valuable than the champion. You have produced Lin Daqin and Lun Wenxu in Guangdong, and Fan Gongzi may be the third. ”

Fan Jin said: "I don't dare to do this. Fan was lucky for a while, and he was supported by the master and won the Zhonghui Yuan. Among them, thanks to Feng Daban and Mrs. Li's help, with Fan's talent, he didn't dare to think about it. ”

Whether Huiyuan is worth the champion or not, it is difficult to say, there are more compliments and praises in Li's words, and they can't be taken seriously. Removing this part of the compliment factor, Fan Jin also admitted that Huiyuan is a rare honor for scholars, and no one will dislike it. There are many benefits of winning Huiyuan, in addition to looking good, Huiyuan can also participate in the museum selection if he does not win the Dingjia, and if he is selected, he can also be a Jishi, which is also a real benefit. However, there are pros and cons to everything, at least in the current subject, whether Fan Jinzhong Huiyuan is good or bad is really hard to say.

From the beginning of the conflict between Yijin Beijing and Feng Bangning, Fan Jin has maintained a relatively good reputation, such as praise such as not being afraid of the powerful and angering the big bell, which still has some weight in the current readers. However, this prestige lasted for a short time, and it was diluted by Zhang Juzheng's gorgeous dumping and lecturing.

The righteous man who did not succumb to the powerful had a tendency to turn into a lackey of the powerful, and then the rumors about him and Zhang Shunqing spread, and the previous conflict was considered by some people to be a trick he deliberately made to gain fame and eyeballs, and they were very suspicious of him. is actually even more detrimental to Fan Jin's reputation.

The imperial examination was originally a very sensitive period, and Huiyuan was the focus of attention of tens of millions of people. Fan Fanjin is just a Yakui in Guangdong, although there are kindergarten Qionglin and a number of singing works, but these are small paths, which are nothing on the avenue of imperial examination articles, at least not enough to support his identity as a huiyuan.

He arrived in Beijing late and missed the previous literary meetings, so that he was actually not famous in the student circle of Beijing Division. This is actually one of the prices he paid to win the hearts of beauties, with no operating time and lack of popularity. If you don't have popularity, you can't convince the public. Such an unknown person will be Yuan, it is conceivable that there will be many people who are not convinced. Coupled with all kinds of rumors with the Zhang family, now Tongkejuzi's opinion of himself is only afraid that it is more evil than praise.

Originally, Zhang Sixiu went down as the son of the prime minister, which was the target of the public, but this time he became the Yuan, but he shared the firepower for the Zhang family. Fan Jin even had a suspicion that the examiner had the idea of dividing the fire to block the bullets.

After all, the identity of Huiyuan is an honor, and I can't get angry because they order me to be Huiyuan, and at the same time, I have to bear the anger of most of the candidates, but it reduces the pressure on the Zhang family and the main exam. From the point of view of conspiracy theories, such an action is highly likely.

Li Shi saw what he was thinking, and smiled: "Fan Gongzi is thinking too much. In fact, the concubine has been in Beijing for so many years, and she has seen a lot of things in Kefu, no matter whether you are in Huiyuan or not, there will always be people who will say strange things, but so what? The yellow list has been hung up, and there is no easier way, no matter how unconvinced they are, it is useless. The son himself is talented and learned, and he is not afraid of shadows, and taking out articles is enough to justify his name, so why be afraid? Besides, some gossip is like a breeze to Mount Tai, and it is difficult to lose a single bit. Childe sits firmly by himself, so why be afraid of what others say. Your mind now should not be on how to guard against the tongues of those villains, but on how to honor your teacher. After all, in the future, Fan Gongzi will enter the official career, and his mentor will be the real helper in the same year. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, those who would try to get it were called the middle test lifters, and in the Qing Dynasty, they were called tributes. At the end of the examination, before the palace examination, there was more than half a month, and during this time, there were many things to be done in the middle school examination. Including going to the Ministry of Rites to get official uniforms, preparing for the palace exam, and receiving training in the Ministry of Rites (this Fan Jin is not practical, Zhang Shunqing has been trained many times). In addition, another major thing to do is to worship the same year, worship the master, worship the master.

The house master who will take the exam is different from the township test, and the difference in the importance of the two is 108,000 miles. The township test master worshipped at that time, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't come and go anymore in the future. However, the Fang Master who will take the test is an important help for Fan Jin in the officialdom in the future, and in turn it may have a great impact. Whether it is from the perspective of human sophistication, or from the perspective of respecting teachers and respecting teachers, and maintaining the relationship between officialdom in the future, he has to go to meet him

Zhang Siwei was born in a wealthy family, and Shen Shi is also very wealthy, what kind of respect to give them and what gifts to use, these are very good. Li smiled:

Coincidentally, the concubine has some dealings with the female relatives of these two families. Feng Pangong's main room is in his hometown, and the one who serves in Beijing is his third concubine. This lady is also dedicated to the Buddha, and I am very speculative, and I know very well Feng Pangong's preferences. As for Yao Gong...... You know his background, and he doesn't like his family to make friends with us, but in fact, he can't avoid it. I just have a few things here, I want to give them away, Fan Gongzi just took them over, and he was satisfied. ”

Shen Shixing's biological mother is a nun, and she is indeed taboo about contact with nuns. However, the atmosphere of the Jingshi is such that he can guarantee that he will not cross the border with the nuns, but there is no way to prevent the family from interacting with the monks and nuns. Especially the Li family itself still has an upper-class background, and it is inevitable to interact with her.

Due to the hobbies and taboos of these two families, Zhang Shunqing had actually introduced Fan Jin, but Fan Jin was not easy to refuse people thousands of miles away for Li's kindness, so he had to keep thanking him.

Li said: "Apprenticeship to the same door, Fan Gongzi will be busy for a while, but I am afraid that he will no longer be able to wave every day like now." No matter how anxious Feng Daban is, he has to let Fan Gongzi busy with his own affairs first, otherwise he will not be close to people. ”

Fan Jin said with a smile: "Yes, Mrs. Domeng has been entertaining me for the past few days, I am grateful, to be honest, this place can be called a fairyland on earth, and Fan is really reluctant to leave." But now, it's time to go. ”

Li smiled slightly, "Fan Gongzi is reluctant to leave, but I am afraid that there are many people in this temple who are reluctant to leave Gongzi." The concubine left a cover for the prince in the temple, and there is no problem for the noble servant to live in the Zheng family, Fan Gongzi, you wait until you worship the master of the house, it is better to go back to live here. The Zheng family now makes that fried liver every day, and the yard must be extremely fishy, which is where the scholars live, or it is cleaner to live in the temple. Besides, this place has always been clean, and it wasn't until you came that Fan Gongzi became a little angry, and everyone was reluctant to let you go. ”

"It's not a secret, Fan is reluctant to have everything here, it's just ...... Everything follows fate, and manpower is difficult to force. ”

"The concubine believes that things are man-made. We are all waiting for Childe, anyway, if you don't come back, your meditation room is also empty, you are the only man who is qualified to live here, and no other man is qualified to live in the temple. This point, please keep Fan Gongzi in mind. ”

"Fan understands that as soon as he leaves the temple gate, he will forget everything that should be forgotten."

Li pursed his lips and smiled, "I know that I didn't see the wrong person, but there is no need to rush, forget or forget, in fact, we ...... Not care. ”

In the past few days, Fan Jin has been busy drawing villain books, and in the past few days, the story of Yue Fei's biography has advanced to the plot of Yue Fei's first frame-up after 800 or 100,000. Save the manuscript in hand, I have it in the world, and it will not hurt the overall situation if I am busy with my own affairs for a period of time and do not update it.

To be honest, Feng Bao was ordered to urge the painting this time, in a sense, he helped Fan Jin. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to live in Baoming Temple, and it would take a little effort to get out. This is still based on his identity as a Huiyuan, and his own performance is also extremely obedient, Li believes that Fan Jin will not talk nonsense, so he has those words. No matter how tough she said, if some secrets of Baoming Temple were really revealed, it would cause waves in the upper class, and the consequences would be somewhat troublesome even for the Li family.

Before living here, Fan Jin really thought that this kind of royal temple must be strictly disciplined, and he was very worried about his food level. But after living during this time, I realized that I thought badly, and the food in the temple was better than that outside. In addition to the nuns in the temple who are vegetarians, those wealthy nobles who lead the cultivation and the maids and servants around them are all chicken, duck, fish, meat, wine and delicacies.

Since the Mahayana sect controls a large number of industries, this kind of secrecy can be kept, and even if it is exposed, it is not a big problem. The other secret is caused by Fan, and once it is exposed, the consequences are not easy for the Li family to end.

The wealthy ladies in Baoming Temple who led the cultivation either died of their husbands, or suffered major emotional setbacks, or they were driven out of their homes and forced into the empty door. Among them, there are few who are really forty years old, and the vast majority of them are women in the age group of twenty to thirty.

Due to the ups and downs he encountered, the ending fell into the temple again, no matter what his original temper was, he basically became irritable at this time. There are also some who are already arrogant, and now there are even more cynical and radical thoughts. When they came to the temple, in addition to chanting scriptures and worshiping the Buddha, they didn't smell the fragrant cakes, and they ate and drank big fish and meat, and they didn't have anything to do that consumed physical strength, and they all had too much energy, so their temper became worse and worse.

These women all have backgrounds and backgrounds, and they are notoriously difficult to serve in the temple. The nuns of the entire temple were a little afraid of them, and it wasn't until Fan Jin arrived that this state of affairs changed subtly.

At the beginning, some of these young women, either out of respect for Li himself, or out of curiosity about Fan Jin, a young scholar, came to Fan Jin to paint a few portraits. In fact, it is also to pass the time, and I don't really care about the quality of the painting. But when they saw Fan Jin's appearance and then saw those portraits, the rest of the people moved.

The woman who had been with a straight face for many years finally smiled, some women who had been wearing black and white clothes for many years began to turn out bright clothes to wear on their bodies, and some women with big breasts became mysterious in their whereabouts. At night, someone always heard strange movements in the room where Fan Jin lived, and then these women's faces became ruddy, and people became easier to get along with, and then there were more and more women with better complexions and tempers.

In fact, in the past few days in Baoming Temple, Fan Jin's experience points have gained the most in the category of flowers rather than paintings. There is even a special small file record in my mind: the daughter of the British princess, the best at riding and having the family style of a military general, and the late fourth lady Wei Yuanbo is cold on the outside and hot on the inside......

This place is heavily guarded, the inner and outer worlds, what happens in the temple will not be known to the outside, and those wealthy ladies are also extraordinarily open. Be dignified or cold in front of people. Here you can abandon the disguise and fully show your hot nature. There are even times when she behaves more boldly than the woman in the Qinglou.

The whole Baoming Temple feels like a daughter country to Fan Jin, and he has become a Tang monk, of course, it is the kind of mind that is easy to shake. If it weren't for the blessing of the system, Fan Jin would probably be the end of Wen Sheng's field battle in Fucui'an, or the scholar who was abducted into the nunnery and became a medicine residue and was dismembered and thrown away by the nuns after his life.

He is now in Huiyuan, just like the Qinglou woman won the title of Oiran Xingtou and the like, for those women, his attraction is even higher. If you don't leave, I'm afraid that someone will come and attack not only at night, but even during the day. The foundation of these daughters of wealthy families is better than that of ordinary village girls, and they know better that things in the temple belong to the temple, and things outside the wall belong to the wall, and there will be no emotional entanglements. Fan Jin does not reject having anything to do with them, but the problem is that it is inevitable to get wet shoes when walking by the river, and it will be more difficult to do it in case of a hand.

Moreover, as the manager of the temple, the Li family did not interfere with this kind of behavior, but was happy to see it happen, which also made Fan Jin mutter, and he didn't know when he would join in. Take advantage of this opportunity to leave early.

He is a woman who wants to leave, or has a dewy fate or is looking forward to something, so he is naturally reluctant. Several women held Fan Jin's hand and were reluctant, shedding tears, or giving incense to the king. A few extremely precious pieces of jewelry or gold beads and silver were quietly stuffed into Fan Jin's baggage, which always made him feel weird.

Li took Fan Jin's hand and walked in the temple very generously, greeting those women. Pointing to the framed couplet on the bright pillar, Li said with a smile: "Fan Gongzi's handwriting is all placed here, on the birthday of the third queen mother in March, there are many nobles in Beijing who want to come to incense, and they can be seen at that time." March 15 palace test, March 3 first for the son of you to raise a name. ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

"You're welcome, the concubine wants to ask Fan Gongzi to leave a poem here, which can be regarded as a commemoration. The concubine framed it and placed it in the meditation hall for the guests to see. ”

Fan Jin doesn't have too much poetry in his stomach, and he usually doesn't show his talent in this area, so as not to show timidity at other times. Fortunately, I just remember a poem about this temple, the words are not a peerless masterpiece but just in time for the occasion, nodded, took pen and ink, and wrote:

The roadside of Jingren Yunfang Village, the only way to come is to pass on the chime. The two orders stand towering cypress, and the four ends open the earth lotus. The fire is not ashed, and the wind flag is not burned. Why do you need to know more about the cold rock wood, I have listened to my mother's Zen for thousands of years.

Li looked at these words, but what he remembered in his mind was the absurd scenes of the past few days. She knew those things, but she had no intention of interfering, she knew the pain of those women, and she felt this pain even more deeply. There were a few nights when she even wanted to go on a night raid like those women, but at the last moment she finally used her reason to suppress her emotions and repeatedly reminded herself: Don't be in a hurry.

Seeing this poem at this time, coupled with Fan Jin's identity as a Huiyuan, she was even more determined in her heart, and she had been working hard for many years for this man. Since he was widowed at the age of sixteen, he has been waiting for today, and the man who has been waiting for him for fourteen years must not let him run away. She will help him achieve some results, so that he can't do without herself, thinking that one day, she can make the national dynasty Huiyuan kneel at her feet and beg for dew marriage, her heart boils.

Until Fan Jin was sent out of the temple gate, her mood could not be peaceful. She knows her own affairs, and she knows very well that under her solemn surface, there is actually a beast hidden in her heart. Over the years, he has relied on his appetite and food and clothing, these things that he once wanted to enjoy but could not enjoy, plus a decent reputation, his family and even his net worth built a cage and locked this beast inside. Even if the beast hits the cage every day, it can't break through the defense.

But in the past few days with Fan Jin, although the two of them have done nothing, the cell in her heart is on the verge of collapse, and the beast will rush out and devour itself at some point. And she can't control the actions of this beast......

Looking at the breeze and moon behind him, Li Shi ordered: "Get ready, I want to enter the palace to meet Cisheng, although Cisheng will not interfere in the palace test, but as long as her old man is willing to speak through, whether it is Mr. Zhang or Your Majesty, she has to give face." ”
