Yan Shishu said earnestly: "Fang waits to be recruited, we are here in the Great Song Dynasty classics library, and naturally we have a collection of classics and historical classics, and the sages are grandiose, how can we make those frivolous and glamorous books mixed?" You are still young, although you have made a small success in poetry for a while, and you have been rewarded by Your Majesty for it, but everything is inferior, only the book of the sages is the foundation of our readers, you have to remember, remember. ”

Fang Hao touched his nose, not only did he not find the book he wanted to read, but he was also given a serious lecture by two old scholars, shouting bad luck in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he had to bow down and be taught.

It took a long time for the two scholars to remember to continue the game, so they let him go and waved him down.

Fang Hao returned to his office dejectedly, depressed in his heart, but he couldn't attack, so he had to sit there in a daze.

For a whole afternoon, Fang Hao stayed up like this minute by second, others are living like years, he is like years, and finally staying in the discrete class for a quarter of an hour, Scholar Bai entered his office with a smile.

"Fang Hao, how did you feel on your first day of work at the Hanlin Academy?" Scholar Bai was very kind.

Fang Hao almost didn't cry, but he still barely showed a smile and said: "Scholar Xie Bai takes care of you, here, you really have gained a lot here, and I feel very emotional." ”

"Oh?" Scholar Bai became interested, "What are your feelings?" Tell the old man about it. ”

Fang Hao was stunned for a long time, searching his intestines and scraping his stomach before stammering: "In the lower ......, in the lower ......, in the lower can personally receive the earnest teachings of your Hongru, it is really, it is really ...... It's been a great benefit. ”

Scholar Bai laughed, looking very satisfied, and sighed: "Okay, good, that's good, the old man thought that you were young and active, and you didn't feel very comfortable in our group of old people, but I didn't expect you to have this understanding, and the old man was very satisfied." ”

Fang Hao couldn't say anything, so he had to laugh dryly.

Scholar Fang walked out with his hands behind his back, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned around and said, "Fang Hao, did you say at noon that you would invite everyone to Penglai Pavilion to drink in the evening?" The old man has already informed your colleagues for you. ”

Fang Hao hurriedly nodded and said, "Exactly, thank you for your face, thank you for your face." ”

Scholar Bai smiled: "Let's tell you the truth, these scholars of the Hanlin Academy have a meager monthly salary, and they have to support their families, and life is not easy, many people estimate that they can't get a few times a month, so you can be regarded as asking them to make a tooth sacrifice." ”

After saying that, he left, leaving Fang Hao stunned there in a daze.

Think about this deserted Sanjin courtyard, and no outsiders have come in all day, as if it is a paradise forgotten by the world, and those indifferent old scholars who are not popular, and there is not even a trace of oil and water at noon every day.

Thinking about the rich people in Chunmanyuan yesterday who did not hesitate to spend money in order to win the favor of a Qinglou Oiran, Fang Hao sighed, which dynasty and generation is not like this in this situation, a person who has been forgotten by officialdom and society, even if he is highly educated, what can he do?

When the time came for the end of the shift, more than thirty old scholars stepped out of their respective offices on time, but today they did not go home from the gate of the Hanlin Courtyard as before, but gathered in the front yard in twos and threes, whispering to each other.

Although they tried their best to pretend to be indifferent, if you looked closely at their eyes, you could clearly see that there were a few faint flashes of excitement in their dim old eyes.

It may be that the nobility and pride of their scholars make them habitually show an indifferent appearance, but as Scholar Bai said, they have been poor for decades and have been forgotten by officialdom for a long time.

Scholar Bai led Fang Hao out, the old scholars turned their heads to look at them, and Scholar Fang arched his hand and smiled: "Everyone, Fang Hao has a treat today, we don't have to be polite, let's go, have a good time." ”

The rare cheerful words and movements of the white scholar also infected these old scholars, and they all showed smiling faces, and they were no longer as cold and arrogant as before, and many people arched their hands at Fang Hao, indicating that they had accepted it.

On weekdays, the old scholars of the Hanlin Academy go home separately and disappear into the crowd of people and are inconspicuous, but today more than 30 old scholars of the Hanlin Academy are collectively pacing on the street, which has caused a lot of sensation along the way.

Although these old scholars are depressed in the officialdom, the people do not know it.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty have always admired scholars, and they revere these talented old Hanlins even more, and they stopped one by one, retreated to the side of the street to let these literary and opera stars pass, and many people could occasionally recognize one of the old scholars, so they gave up their hands and greeted loudly, and the old scholars also smiled and nodded in greeting.

Some old scholars even remembered the scene of participating in the palace examination and being personally selected by His Majesty to visit the scenery and the streets, and couldn't help but sigh to themselves, full of feelings.

It's been years, and they've never seen the streets like this with their heads held high.

Penglai Pavilion is one of the eight most exclusive restaurants in Tokyo, only two streets away from Hanlin Temple, and the big guys walked to the gate of the restaurant in about a quarter of an hour.

As early as the morning, when Fang Hao decided to invite guests, he had already asked the two messengers to come and reserve a place, and set the largest private room on the third floor facing the Bianhe, and there were just five large tables inside after removing the screen, and the thirty-six people of the Hanlin Academy could sit down and eat and drink relaxedly.

Xiao Er had already greeted him at the door, hunched over and shouted: "Please take a step forward from the elders of the Hanlin Academy, and the third floor is full of gold and jade." ”

As a member of the imperial court, although he has also sat on the cold bench in the Hanlin Academy for many years, after all, he can be regarded as participating in the government affairs, and he has seen a lot of these big scenes, so he immediately strode forward and led Fang Hao and the old scholars behind him straight up the stairs.

When Fang Hao went out in the morning, he was stuffed with three hundred taels of silver in his arms by Master Li, saying that it was the first time that Gongzi went to the yamen as an official today, and he was a hero, and he must not be cold, so he asked the errand to order five tables of first-class banquets today, ten taels of silver for a table, of course, except for wine.

At this time, the third floor is full of gold and jade, and the windows along the river are all wide open, and the scenery of the Bianhe River is in full view, and the breeze is blowing, which is beautiful.

The five large tables have already been placed with eight-color cold dishes, wine cups, dishes and chopsticks, just waiting for the adults to take their seats.

The old scholars looked at this splendid private room, and many people hesitated for a moment before they dared to step in, and under the diligent guidance of Fang Hao and Xiao Er, they were seated one by one.

Xiao Er's eyes were the most thief, and he naturally saw that Fang Hao was the one who invited guests, and when he sat down at the end of the table of Bai Daxue, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Son, what kind of wine are you going to drink today?" ”

Fang Hao said boldly: "Of course, it's the best wine you have here." ”

Xiao Er hesitated for a moment, and then smiled again: "Son, the best wine in this store is the twenty-year-old daughter red aged wine, but it costs five taels of silver for a jar." ”
