When Zheng Guang received this Fan Qing's greetings, he immediately remembered the "old scholar" Fan Wei who was quite mysterious in his memory, and in his memory, the first time he met was two years ago, when he was crying by the river and missing his parents, he met Fan Wei for the first time, Fan Wei asked the reason for his crying, and he told the truth, Fan Wei sighed with a relative's face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On that day, Zheng Guang and Fan Wei talked a lot, from their parents to the Japanese, from the Japanese to the southeast, from the southeast to the north and south of the river, and from the north and south of the river to the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Guang's all his understanding of the Ming Dynasty came from his mentor Tang Shunzhi, and Tang Shunzhi's understanding of the Ming Dynasty came from his own personal experience and experience as an official, so it was quite real and more realistic.

Fourteen-year-old Zheng Guang is already quite knowledgeable, has a solid basic knowledge, and his understanding of more things is not limited to book knowledge, and Fan Wei is obviously not an ordinary reader, since he is older, he naturally has a lot of knowledge, and what he said and asked is not a simple question, Zheng Guang also has some doubts about his identity, but he did not delve into it.

Now think about it, whether it is conversation, demeanor, knowledge, etc., Fan Wei is not just an "old scholar", maybe he is an excellent successor of an academic school, and he has some similarities with his mentor Mr. Tang Shunzhi, so Zheng Guang is very friendly to him, and Fan Wei also seems to appreciate Zheng Guang very much.

He fell into a coma for only two days, this New Year's friend who met "March 1" rushed to meet, and he thought he was very concerned about this rare friendship, Zheng Guang had a very good sense of this person, he didn't care about the age gap, Zheng Guang didn't care, he was happy, seeing Fan Wei coming, Zheng Guang happily ordered the kitchen to prepare four side dishes that they would eat every time they met, and warmed a pot of wine for Fan Wei, while he still drank tea.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Zheng Guang does not like to drink.

"Yesterday was the period of March for you and me, but I waited and waited, and I didn't see Brother Zheng coming, thinking that Brother Zheng was definitely not an unpunctual person, so I sent people to inquire around, and this inquiry only found out that the famous Zheng family's little minister was actually frightened by falling into the water, so that I was in a hurry to rush over, but I never thought it was still late, but I heard that you had woken up, so I was relieved, and I got up early today and came to see you!" Fan Qing sat down generously, and his worry overflowed: "Is your body better?" ”

Zheng Guang was quite moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "You also know, I have practiced martial arts all year round, and I also know the nature of water, but I have never drunk, and suddenly I drank some good wine, I didn't hold it, I was groggy, I don't know why, as soon as the carriage and horse overturned, I also fell into the water, I don't know why, this is why it is so big, if I am sober, I will not necessarily be finished if I fall into the river!" Hahahaha! ”

Fan Qing complained in his heart that Zhang Sicheng was troublesome, and said in his mouth: "I heard that Zhang Zhixian invited you to have a banquet alone, so you were drunk?" ”

Zheng Guang smiled embarrassedly: "The county is also a good intention, but also my benefactor, I took my exam paper in the hall, point to the case, very appreciative, I am grateful, but I am not good at drinking, I can't refuse, the county also knows that it is not safe to go back like this, so I sent someone to drive me back, who knows but encountered such a thing, I heard the family said, when I was unconscious, the county also came to visit, and in the past few days, I also have to go to the county government to thank once." ”

Fan Qing was satisfied with Zheng Guang's mind in his heart, but said in his mouth: "I know that you can't drink, so I shouldn't let you drink, a good young man, why do you drink so much wine?" Whether it is the imperial examination or being an official, which of the Ming laws clearly stipulates that you must be able to drink? ”

Zheng Guang said with a smile: "I can't say that, how can the world's love of drinking and thousand-year-old customs change because of me?" Wine this thing, not much drinking, as a food, but also have a taste, in the cold winter wax moon a little drink some spirits, but also to strengthen the body, just drink more, or to vent emotions, drunk and drunk, that is alcoholism, is a scoundrel, not a gentleman's doing, of course, if you can be like Li Taibai like a hundred poems of wine, known as the poetry and wine fairy, then I have nothing to say. ”

Fan Qing stroked his palms and laughed: "Hahahaha!" Every time I talk to you, I can always make witty words, Li Taibai is a person, a glass of wine and a poem, talent, that is really a talented stone in the world, Li Taibai monopolizes seven buckets, but for thousands of years, the poetry and wine fairy is only Li Taibai's ear, and the rest are all drunkards! ”

Zheng Guang also laughed and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Hahaha! It's a pity that there are often drunken maniacs in the world, and there are not often poets and wine fairies, and when my father was alive, he often warned me not to drink alcohol wherever I go in the future, so I insisted on not drinking. ”

Fan Qing sighed: "Ling Zun Zheng Gong's heroism is fascinating, and it is such a character who can teach my little friend to be like this, hahaha!" I won't congratulate you on the head of the county trial! According to my speculation, you can take the next leader in the government test, right? The college exam is just to arrange the seats for you students who are in the exam, if you win two in a row, the gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and it will not be difficult for you to study, I am afraid that it is not far away from the small three yuan. ”

Zheng Guang thought for a moment, and said: "This can't be too full, the literary style of Nanzhili is prosperous, and the lower state capitals are all big states and big prefectures for the imperial examination, if you put me in the western provinces, I still have this confidence, but if you put it in the southeast, it will be too difficult, although it is not appropriate to say this, but the actual situation is like this, the leader of the western provinces is placed in my Nanzhili, I am afraid that even the county test will be sad." ”

Fan Qing couldn't help but nodded: "It's not inappropriate, it's really the truth, if it is the unified standard assessment of the whole Ming Dynasty, it is not fair enough to the western provinces, after all, the western provinces are in constant war and life, and there is naturally no more time and energy and property to study, the southeast is rich, there are many people who can read, and the number of readers is not a level, so they will be separated for the exam, otherwise, the dispute between the north and the south and the east and west will rise again, and it will not be the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

After speaking, Fan Qing stared at Zheng Guang and said: "Brother Zheng, it's not that your brother and I boast about Haikou, and I may not be able to speak to your brother in other places, but in the territory of Suzhou Mansion, although there are not many people who know your brother and me, your brother and I still have weight, even if it is a mansion, my brother can say a few words."

You are the real head of the Wuxian County test, everyone sees it in the eyes of real talent, and the reputation of the Zheng family is also very good, I only need to say a few good words for you in front of Fuzun, and mention it a little, it just so happens that Fuzun is good friends with your master Mr. Tang Jingchuan, and he is also a member of the heart school, so it is not difficult for you to take the top spot. ”

Fan Qing deliberately considered Zheng Guang's attitude and views on these matters, whether it was worth it for him to shelter him from the wind and rain and help him grow up, so he deliberately said such a thing, Zheng Guang frowned after hearing it, and said to Fan Qing: "Brother Fan, the imperial examination is a national talent ceremony, for fairness and justice, and it is the ladder for countless poor students for more than a hundred years.

My family is well-off, never had a cold window, even if I can't get fame, I have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and I am not fatal, but for others, it may be a life-saving straw, I took the county exam first with real talent and learning, with a clear conscience, others want to say, there is no evidence, if it is the government test I am also in high school, that is also my real talent, with a clear conscience, but if I take such a path, how dare I ask my heart? This is absolutely unacceptable! ”

Fan Qing was very satisfied, but he didn't show any superfluous expressions on his face: "Brother Zheng has such self-confidence, which is naturally excellent, but there are already a lot of talents in Suzhou Prefecture, and there are more masters in Nanzhili, out of Nanzhili, and into Beijing City, that is even more mastery, you are only sixteen years old, and you will only be seventeen years old next year, compared to those real masters, he is afraid that he is older than you in the years of studying, and you still have the confidence to say so?" Are you really not worried about falling off the list and being ridiculed? ”

Zheng Guang said with a smile: "I know what my brother means, I don't need to say more, my father always taught me when he was alive, to be a man and do things, not to be right, but to have a clear conscience, as long as I have a clear conscience, I am naturally fearless, if I dare not ask my heart, then I can't do anything, as you said, I am only sixteen years old, the imperial examination is once every three years, I still have many opportunities, even if I am thirty years old, it is not too late!" ”

Fan Qing laughed and said, "Okay! It's really worthy of being a little friend I value, with such ambition, why can't I go to the palace of the Son of Heaven! Come, come, I'm going to have a drink with you! ”

Zheng Guang said with a smile: "I have already prepared for you, a drunkard, and I am not satisfied with the flower carvings that have been stored in the family for seven years?" ”

Fan Qing was overjoyed: "Then thank you Brother Zheng!" Hahaha! I haven't drunk such good wine for a long time, and today, I will definitely drink it to the death! Hahahaha! ”

Zheng Guang naturally will not drink with this drunkard, of course, it is tea instead of wine, the two of them drink, most of the time it is to drink an atmosphere, and they will not really drink in the direction of drunkenness, Fan Qing has never persuaded Zheng Guang to drink, a few side dishes, a bottle of wine and a pot of tea, the two of them are very happy, Zheng Guang does not have many friends, because of the early death of his parents, coupled with Mr. Tang's careful teaching, he has never gone to a private school to study, and he rarely goes out to communicate with people except for reading and practicing martial arts on weekdays, but Fan Wei is a rare friend.

After three rounds of drinking, Fan Qing was a little drunk, knowing that there was no adult male owner in the Zheng Mansion, all of them were female dependents, so he didn't stay for a long time, Zheng Guang got up to see him off and sent him to the gate, so he said goodbye to Fan Qingyi.

Entering the car, the drunken look on Fan Qing's face was swept away, and he became energetic and energetic. Thinking of all kinds of Zheng Guang, I can't help but feel happy, it is really difficult to meet such an excellent young man at this age, and it is also difficult to meet such an excellent young man in these places, such a young man is from Suzhou, for himself, is not an opportunity?

Little brother, I sincerely hope that your high school will bring a fresh and refreshing wind to this turbid world.
