Qin sent a boat to the city of Hangzhou, the canal was considered to be at the end, Fang Yingwu still did not enter the city, and then turned west into the Xin'an River from here.

At this time, it was the most lush time of the year, Fang Yingwu was afraid of the stuffiness in the cabin, moved the seat to the deck, and looked at the lush scenery of the mountains and rivers on both sides.

At the beginning, he followed this road, straight down the river from the remote Chun'an County to the colorful world, and today he is back against the current.

About two days later, he arrived at the border of Yanzhou Mansion, but saw more than 100 people standing on the dock on the shore. ”

Fang Yingwu couldn't help but be in a trance. Seven years ago, Shang Xianggong returned to his hometown, and it was in the same place that he stood on the shore to greet the crowd, constantly thinking about how to get ahead of the past, but today it was someone else who came to greet him.

Fang Yingwu's dispatch location this time belongs to Chun'an County, Yanzhou Prefecture, so Yanzhou Mansion is different from other places, and it is necessary to greet it seriously out of business, and the prefect has come out in person.

Zhu Zhifu, who tried to release Fang Yingwu in the government back then, has long since left office, and Wang Zhixian of Chun'an County is also gone.

Going ashore, saluting, greetings, greetings, and feeling that everything seems to be going according to an invisible script. Then Fang Qincha and the prefect returned to the ship, chatting and continuing on their way.

Two days later, Fang Yingwu finally returned to Chun'an County, where he had been absent for four years, and stationed in the county government office. Because he was sent and did not dare to show favoritism until his official affairs were completed, it was inconvenient for Fang Qin to go back to Shanghuaxi Village directly. The king's command must be fulfilled first.

Or go ashore and salute. Greetings, greetings. What made Fang Qincha even more embarrassed was that a number of county student representatives came forward to meet him, calling himself a senior.

Most of these scholars are about the same age as other people, and they even saw their classmates in the county school back then. The way of the imperial examination, the attainer is the first, and Fang Yingwu has no choice but to put out the seniors according to the customs, and really encourages the "juniors" a few words.

Bathing and fasting, Fang Qin sent to cross the green stream. Came to Renshou Township, South of the county. Shang Zhen still lived in the Tiju Academy at the foot of a remote mountain, and the people nearby heard that the imperial court had come to express their condolences to Shang Xianggong, and they gathered outside the academy to watch.

Under the cover of the guard of honor, Fang Yingwu held the watch and stepped into the gate of the Tired House Academy. Then he saw Shang Xianggong being surrounded and coming towards him, saluting himself on behalf of the Son of Heaven, or saluting to the table.

Fang Yingwu didn't want to watch the old teacher waste his physical strength, nor did he want to waste time on red tape, so he opened the letter and read it. After that, the merchant saluted again and thanked him. Received the form.

At this point, after the official etiquette was completed, Fang Yingwu stepped forward to help the business chariot first, and then saluted respectfully in turn. sighed again and said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the teacher has to be completely white." Students just hate not being able to serve left and right. ”

Shang Yan smiled freely and pointed to the hall, "Now you are also an envoy of the imperial court." Come into the house and sit and talk. ”

Sit down in the hall, and the middle school children of the academy came to serve tea. Shang Shi said with great emotion: "The ancients are cloudy. Personnel have metabolism, and exchanges have become ancient and modern. Today is especially emotional. When I first saw you, you were just a teenager, diligently studying articles, and today I saw the envoys and pillars of the imperial court, and there are people in my generation. ”

Fang Yingwu said modestly: "I have received a lot of kindness from the teacher, and I can't repay it, and I have to listen to the teachings sooner or later." ”

Fang Yingwu is not a lie, if he hadn't helped him with tutoring, the article would not be too bad, how could it be so easy to pass the exam at all levels; And when he first debuted, he often took advantage of his reputation under the banner of being a disciple of the business minister's public relations.

Shang Chen sighed: "When you are still as high as the sun is rising, the old man can't teach you anything. ”

Later, Shang Chen in turn asked Fang Yingwu about the recent situation of some old people, as well as some things about the imperial court. Unconsciously, more than an hour passed, and a tired look appeared on Shang Chen's face.

Fang Yingwu sighed secretly, when the Shang Xianggong returned to his hometown seven years ago, although he was old, he was also full of energy, and he was never tired of reading and chatting all day long, but now he has the appearance of an old dragon clock.

I really wonder if Lu Dao will have a chance to meet again after leaving Chun'an this time? Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu wanted to stay a little longer, but he was also worried that the business would be tired, so he didn't know what to do for a while, so he was slightly entangled for a while.

Shang Zhen saw Fang Yingwu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the old man, the old man has no regrets in this life, what else can't he let go?" Don't be a child! ”

Fang Yingwu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's the student who thinks too much." ”

Sanyuan and the first, a very human minister, the whole body retreated, the name goes down in history, the children and grandchildren are full, the country is peaceful As a scholar, Mr. Shang does not have any regrets in this life, it is a very perfect life.

Shang Zhen mentioned other things: "You wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that you haven't taken the words yet, so please bother the old man, but now the old man has two words." ”

Fang Yingwu hurriedly asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Shang Shi stroked his beard and said: "I think it is the two words of the Tao, which can echo with the object, and the reason for the Tao of all things is to be grasped by your heart." ”

Fang Yingwu saluted solemnly: "Thank you, teacher, the student has received it." ”

"Before parting, the old man has one more sentence to explain." Teacher Shang suddenly said, "Actually, this is your family matter. ”

Fang Yingwu hurriedly said: "The teacher only has to give orders, and the students are all obedient." ”

"There is an old gentleman in your grandfather's clan, who was promoted from the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing the year before last, and now he is also in the countryside under the forest. You met with me the day before yesterday and asked me to pass on a message to you, how about writing off past grievances and grievances? ”

Fang Yingwu thought about it for a while and knew what was going on, there was an old man in his biological mother's family who was a high-ranking official in Nanjing, who should be named Hu Gongchen, and his maternal grandfather was a brother in terms of generation. Probably it was he who asked Mr. Shang to pass the word.

The Hu family is one of the nine major imperial examination families in the county, and they looked down on the family at the beginning, and they had several back-and-forth troubles. Now the biggest pillar of the Hu family, Hu Gongchen, is the eldest man, and there is only one person in addition to him, who is at a low ebb.

However, the Fang family has successively produced two cattle people of Fang Qing's prescription and Yingwu, which can be called unlimited potential and is in full swing, which makes the Hu family fearful, and through the business rumors, it is disguised to be soft.

To be honest, now that Fang Yingwu is in the temple, how can he still care about the little grievances of the Hu family in his eyes? Then he said to Shang: "Mr. Hu is really worried, after all, I also have the blood of the Hu family, how can I have resentment?" ”

Coming out of the Tired House Academy, Fang Yingwu sighed and inscribed a poem on the wall: "The white head belongs to the old He Junen, and the name of the generation is respected by everyone." Since ancient times, it has been scarce and seven, and this dynasty has three yuan. The fairy in the sea is immortal, and Mr. Luoxia is alone. It is strange to see that the light of the stage reflects the east wall, and the Lang official serves the purple micro wall. ”

After that, Fang Qincha returned to the county seat to rectify a little, and then set off to return to Shanghuaxi Village.

Originally, Fang Yingwu planned to follow the car lightly, and just call Wang Ying and Fang Yingshi to accompany him, but Wang Ying tried his best to persuade: "Brother Qiu, do you want to walk in brocade at night!" ”

Helpless, Fang Yingwu could only call out to all his entourage and walked towards the west gate of the county seat. As soon as he got out of the county seat, Wang Ying made a fuss and shouted: "There is one more archway outside the West Gate!" ”

Fang Yingwu got off the sedan chair and looked at it, he had the impression that there should be five archways on the avenue outside the west gate of the county, but now there are six. Take a closer look at the brand-new archway that has been added, and there are four big characters on it - father and son Jinshi. (To be continued......)
