Chapter 321: What Should Come Is Not Coming
In the next few days, Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian were divided into two ways, and they were busy sitting at the table. Xiang Chengxian went to the area of the guild hall to greet the same year, and Fang Yingwu went to visit the officials of the same province one by one according to the list, and warmly invited the other party to attend the banquet of the same year.
In order to ensure the success rate, Fang Yingwu also wrote a number of letters with his father, and if the person he visited hesitated, he took out his father's letter and invited him directly in his father's name.
Seven or eight people wrote seven or eight letters, and Fang Qingzhi simply wrote letters to the point of softness under the stalking of his own son. The key is that Fang is too honest and sincere, and each letter is very serious, and different sentences and contents must be considered. Unlike a certain former cabinet elder who sent a letter back then, a few letters with one content, just changed the title of the title.
Rubbing his wrist, Fang Qingzhi complained rarely: "It's understandable that you want to hold a big banquet for the same year, but is it necessary to be in such a hurry?" How many days do you have to rush here? β
"It's too late, it's going to be after the temple exam, and then it's boring." Fang Yingwu explained: "The palace test is going to produce the champion, and when the time comes, the world will pay attention, and everyone will say that the champion is good, who still remembers the previous Huiyuan?"
At that time, Huiyuan was a cold palace resentful woman! Therefore, in the past few days, we should strike while the iron is hot, and when my son and I are not angry, we should be the masters and organize the same year's banquet to establish fame, which is called maximizing benefits. β
Fang Qingzhi was so helpless about his son, was he really biological? "You have a lot of thoughts, and you don't know how to focus on reading! However, even if he writes a letter for his father, others may not come, especially Wang Xianwang's predecessors. β
Fang Yingwu was not worried about this, "If you see your father's letter and refuse to give face to the banquet, there is no need for such a person to make friends." Since then, it has been a strange road, except for Wang Xian Wang Bachelor. β
This is an opportunity to get acquainted with a new generation of fellow villagers. Another letter from my father came forward to invite him warmly. If you still refuse to be there, you are not willing to promote the backwards. and doesn't give face to his father, then this person is eighty percent of the officialdom non-mainstream with an incompatible temperament.
People who like to play with personality like this love to come or not, they are destined to hit the street in the future, and Fang Yingwu is really not rare. However, Wang Xian is different, this is one of the top senior Hanlin seniors, coupled with the identity of the deputy examiner of this department, his identity is transcendent, and he can be on the platform, which is a big increase in the momentum of the Fang family.
"Senior Wang deliberately distanced. How are you going to please? Fang Qingzhi asked again.
Fang Yingwu replied confidently: "Mountain people have their own clever plans! β
After Fang Qingzhi finished writing another letter, Fang Yingwu helped polish the ink very diligently, and at the same time instructed: "The next one is Xie Qian's." β
Fang Qingzhi was surprised, raised his head and asked, "Aren't you unwilling to invite Senior Xie to be there?" Why do you still ask me to write a letter for my father? β
Fang Yingwu said proudly: "It's his business whether he comes or not, but whether he is invited or not is my family's business." In order to avoid others saying that our family is narrow-minded and can't tolerate people, should I invite or invite just father, don't write about the same year's banquet in the letter, just say that the Fang family celebrates my meeting, please Xie Qian to the banquet. β
Fang Qingzhi smiled bitterly, "Not everyone is as negative as you. If Senior Xie is here to congratulate you, your calculations will be in vain. β
Fang Yingwu said confidently: "Mountain people have their own clever plans!" β
Fang Qingzhi was very unhappy with his son's habitual flirtatious attitude, and he really wanted to blurt out a sentence of "Wonderful you are big!" β
But considering his fatherhood, Fang Qingzhi stubbornly held back his foul mouth. But he just doesn't take the initiative to ask.
But he said that after taking his father's letters, Fang Yingwu visited them one by one, and the visit was almost done in two or three days. Most of the process went smoothly. The other party is also happy to see it.
But when he arrived at Wang Xian's mansion, Fang Yingwu was blocked by Menzi. said very formulaically: "My lord said that he would try to win the Chinese son." This is a business matter, and you can't spend it privately, Fang Gongzi, please go back! β
Fang Yingwu's eyes showed a look of grief and indignation, "We are gathering in Zhejiang Province today, and the prince refuses to come to teach one or two?" It seems that the prince looks down on our forty-odd fellow villagers and new juniors, so he has nothing to say, so he has to leave! β
Fang Yingwu's big hat was buttoned down, and the door was a little unbearable, so he hurriedly went into the house to report again. After another moment, Menzi said helplessly: "My master said that he knew, and Fang Gongzi left the invitation." β
"Very good, very good." Fang Yingwu hurriedly handed the invitation to Menzi, and by the way, he gave a small piece of broken silver as a red envelope.
But that door did not accept red envelopes, which made Fang Yingwu greatly sigh at Wang Xian's family style, this is a true gentleman. However, the gentleman can be bullied, and the big hat is buttoned down, and he has to take it if he doesn't take it.
After saying goodbye from the palace, Fang Yingwu went to Xie Qian's mansion again, but was still blocked by the door. Menzi is the henchman of the master's family, so of course the Xie family's Menzi knows the grievances between Xie Qian and the Fang family, how can he give Fang Yingwu a good attitude?
I saw this man squinting his eyes and picking his nose at the other party Yingwu asked, "Why did Fang Gongzi come?" β
Fang Yingwu also replied arrogantly: "I will hold a banquet in two days to celebrate the trial harvest of today's science meeting, please invite the lord of your mansion to attend with a face, and I will sweep the couch to greet you." β
Menzi looked disdainful, "My master is only afraid that he will not be empty." β
Fang Yingwu suddenly took out the invitation, and without saying a word, he slapped it directly on the face of the Xie family. Then he mocked: "I've sent the invitation here, let your master decide for himself!" β
"Bastard!" The Xie family's disciples really haven't suffered this kind of insult, and they are furious! Who can bear it, who can't bear it! Here his face represents the face of the master's family, and hitting him in the face is hitting the master's face!
This man took the invitation off his face and rushed up to do it.
Fang Yingwu was fearless, and immediately smiled faintly, "You want to beat up?" The Xie family wanted to beat up the person who sent the invitation to the Fang family in their own concierge? Xie Qian was jealous and connived at his subordinates to beat Fang Qingzhi's son? β
One sentence after another, when the door heard Zuihou's words, he withdrew his fist and held back his monstrous anger. The people who can be protΓ©gΓ©s in the world are the most sensible people, and they will not be sent to pick up customers in the concierge if they are not sensible.
The Xie family knew that they must not do it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and after the unimaginable situation, they must have been used as a scapegoat and were unlucky. After all, the relationship between his own master and the Fang family was too sensitive, since a few years ago, his own master sat back and watched Fang Qing go to heaven and ignore it
Fang Yingwu daxiao a few times, pointed to the invitation and left.
Gossip aside, three days later, Zuixianglou was once again lively, Zhejiang and the same province gathered together, and many lords of Zhejiang Province also came to attend. Raw or not cooked, Xiang Chengxian chose to come and go, and Zuihou set the place in Zuixiang Building.
Fang Yingwu, as one of the hosts, still stood at the door of the building to welcome guests, and after saying hello to each other with several people in the same year, he raised his eyes and saw Li Min, the top of the township examination list and the end of the meeting examination list in the same year, - this is also a very individual character, and even the ranking is so individual.
Li Min saluted the other party and said, "Bachelor Wang asked me to give me a word, he is not in good health today, and he really can't be there." β
Fang Yingwu was speechless, this Wang Xianwang is too sincere, right? Just because he was good friends with Xie Qian, he was unwilling or embarrassed to have dealings with the Fang family?
It's not a big deal, this position is also clear, no wonder Bachelor Wang has always been a senior Hanlin, and he has never had the opportunity to enter the cabinet in his life, and the so-called character determines fate.
However, what also interested Fang Yingwu was, how could Wang Xian let Li Min talk? After a little thought, Fang Yingwu guessed something.
Hangzhou City is a city with two counties, namely Qiantang County and Renhe County. And Li Min is from Qiantang County, and Wang Xian is from Renhe County, they are from the same city, and they are almost the same as the same county and township, so it is not surprising that they have a close relationship.
Could it be that the old man Wang Xian said was Li Min? Fang Yingwu thought about it, and couldn't help but have this idea. With Li Min's arrogant personality, I am afraid that I really disdain Wang Xian's points, and then I accidentally hit Wang Xian and let Wang Xian treat his test paper as Li Min's test paper?
Although Mr. Wang refused to be present after all, which can be regarded as a small regret, the assembly will continue, and Fang Yingwu put aside his distracting thoughts and continues to welcome guests.
Among the visitors, the highest official status is the right to the capital of the imperial history Tu Tu Tu, this is only one step away from the ministry and the court official - it can be seen that the current DPRK and the central Zhejiang party is really good to say, called Qinghuang is not accepted.
Fang Qingzhi accompanied Master Tu to greet him, but said that Tu Tu looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see Xie Yuyao coming?" β
Fang Qingyi didn't know how to answer for a while, as if it was inconvenient for him to answer, or that sentence, his relationship with Xie Qian was too sensitive.
Yuan Fang Yingwu, who was standing behind his father, replied: "The late student sent the invitation to the Xie Mansion, but there was no reply. Master Xie climbed the high branch of Master Xu of the Hanlin Academy, just waiting to be the minister of the dragon. We fellow villagers are humble and useless, but we are afraid that we will not be able to enter his eyes. β
"Hmm" Master Tu frowned imperceptibly, but he believed it a little. This Lord Xie usually only looks at his identity, does not pay much attention to the relationship with the province, and his nostalgia is very weak, perhaps in his eyes, only the same county can be regarded as a villager.
Fang Qingzhi turned around and scolded his son: "The rebel son dares to criticize his predecessors, is there a place for you to speak here?" β
Tu Tu looked around again, and then asked, "Why hasn't Bachelor Wang arrived?" Isn't he the examiner of the current department? β
Or Fang Yingwu replied: "Bachelor Wang is noble and noble, he is the deputy chief examiner of the current department, for fear of being talked about favoritism, so he will not come to today's Chinese banquet." β
Master Tu nodded and praised: "It is understandable that Master Wang cherishes his feathers. β
At this moment, Xiang Chengxian trotted over, and said to the other party's father and son: "Xie Yuyao Xie senior is here!" β
Fang Yingwu gasped, slightly stunned. He didn't come when he should have come, but he didn't come to the door to humiliate himself like that, in order to make Xie Qian unable to pull his face and come over to join in the fun, but this Xie Qian was able to hold back his anger, and he still wanted to come to this New Jinshi New Year Banquet?
It is worthy of being a figure in history who can enter the cabinet in his forties, and this is still the embodiment of character determining fate! From the small to the big, it can be seen that he is really his father's rival! (To be continued......)
