After seeing the Great Grandmaster, Fang Yingwu did not continue to stay in Fucheng, and returned to Huaxi with Wang Shushi, who was overjoyed and full of expectations for the future. How can it be worth an annual salary of twenty taels this time?

There was no too eye-catching news in the Yanzhou government examination this time, but after the college examination ended, Zhu Ruiqiang, who was admitted, entered the school of the government, but because of "arrogance and rudeness", he was directly demoted from the attached student to Tsing Yi and sent to the social school to study.

This is a punishment that is more serious than "probation", and one step further is to completely remove the fame of Xiucai. All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion, and I don't know why.

The Zhu family is also a big local family, and after inquiring from all sides, they learned that it was vaguely related to the conflict with the children of Chun'an County before the exam. Among them, there is a person named Fang Yingwu who let go of the cruel words of "taking away your fame", and the eight achievements are his hands.

Knowing that they had touched a hard stubble, the Zhu family asked for favors everywhere, and actually wrote a letter through Wang Zhixian to introduce them, and went to Huaxi to find Fang Yingwu.

Facing Zhu Gongzi's father, who arrived from a neighboring county, Fang Yingwu taught earnestly: "Although it is common to be young and vigorous, you must not be arrogant and frivolous, have no one in your eyes, and do not disrespect your elders and bully your predecessors!" As for the lack of faith, it should not be a gentleman's doing! ”

"Yes, yes." Father Zhu was submissive and listened carefully to Fang Xianggong's teachings.

Zhu Gongzi learned this lesson and knew that the heavens and the earth were thick and the world was sinister, and his temper was much more restrained, which could be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

said that Fang Yingwu continued to study behind closed doors. There is no time in the mountains, and it is two months in a flash, and it is already May.

On this day, when Fang Yingwu was studying in the wooden pavilion in the back mountain, he suddenly saw a villager walking into the woods with a stranger.

"Fang Xianggong. The younger one is the Jinxi Hong family, and he came to pass the word on the order of my Uncle Song. It is said that it is close to the township test. Is Fang Xianggong ready? It is time to make an appointment and set off with the son of the Xiang family. ”

Fang Yingwu put together the book. sighed that time flies really fast, and before I knew it, it was only three months before the township test.

At this time, the scholars of the rich families will set off to go to the provincial capital in advance, and there are those who go half a year in advance. But if you are from a poor family, you can only go later, after all, it will cost you an extra day to stay in Hangzhou for an extra day.

And every time the township test is approached, the price of the provincial capital will rise, and if you want to live in the provincial capital for a few months, the cost will be more than dozens of taels. It is equivalent to the annual income of ordinary people, where can ordinary people afford it?

After Fang Yingwu made up his mind, he said to the servants of the Hong family who came to pass the word: "If there is no obstacle, Brother Hong will agree to leave in three days!" ”

After sending off the servants of the Hong family, Fang Yingwu returned to the house and instructed Wang Lan to start preparing his luggage.

Then Sister Lan was silent, and Fang Yingwu laughed: "What? Don't have anything to say? The last time I went to the county seat, you had to follow. ”

Wang Lan said very disobediently: "How can the slave family not be unreasonable? How important is the township test, only one out of dozens is selected. The husband should concentrate on himself when he goes to the provincial capital, and he should not be distracted by the slave family. ”

Fang Yingwu teased again: "If the husband is moved, he will go directly to the capital, and I don't know how long it will be separated by then." Don't you worry? ”

Wang Lan's expression darkened. "The slave family is guarding here." Fang Yingwu touched Sister Lan, "I won't joke with you, let's go to the provincial capital together." There's a place to live over there. ”

The next day, Fang Yingwu saw a resentful face again. Wang Lan's brother Wang Ying also found the door.

Two years ago, Fang Yingwu went out for the first time. Wang Ying was also an entourage, but when she arrived at Changzhou Mansion, she was sent back with Sister Lan.

But after all, Uncle Wang opened his eyes, saw the world, and his heart was wild. This time, I heard that Fang Yingwu was going to travel far again, so I recommended myself to be an entourage.

There are family members who are willing to follow and work hard, of course Fang Yingwu has no opinion, and there is an entourage around him when he goes out, and many places are much more convenient. After agreeing to Wang Ying, he let him set off first to fight the front station.

Everything was ready, and three days later, Fang Yingwu said goodbye to his relatives and embarked on the road to the provincial capital.

The meeting place he agreed with Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian was not in the county seat, but at the port ferry wharf, one of the three major wharves in the county.

And a huge boat docked in the river is waiting quietly, probably a means of travel brought by the two families. The hull is wide and comfortable, and the other side can be clean.

Fang Yingwu stepped forward and saluted: "The two brothers haven't seen each other for many days, I'm late for the younger brother this time, and I've been waiting for a long time!" ”

Hong Song returned the salute: "It's okay, it's still early." Xiang Chengxian looked behind Fang Yingwu, "Did Brother Fang Xian only take one person on the road?" ”

Fang Yingwu also noticed that there were three or four scholars and entourages behind these two sons, who were worthy of being the sons of big families, and they were indispensable to be called by them. Looking at his side, there was only one concubine holding the package and following with low eyebrows.

didn't wait to think about anything, but saw Xiang Chengxian glance at Sister Lan a few times, and said with envy: "We can't compare to you, do you think I don't want to follow you?"

It's just that the old people in the family are too old-fashioned, and the discipline is very strict, lest our generation go to the women's sex, and even the ugliest maid will not be allowed to take it. In contrast, it is still Fang Xiandi who travels with the United States, chic and comfortable! ”

Hong Song nodded with affection, and then patted Xiang Chengxian with a positive color: "Get on the boat!" Stop talking nonsense. ”

As soon as they got on board, they set off, and the ship slowly sailed off the shore and went down the Qingjiang River. Although the scenery of the mountains and rivers on both sides of the strait is good, they are used to seeing it, and with the relationship between the three of them, there is naturally no need to engage in any poetry and poetry, and the tone of meeting friends with literature. But after seeing each other for many days, they got together again, and the conversation was very strong.

Xiang Chengxian suddenly spoke: "Brother Fang Xian! I don't know whether to say a few things or not. ”

Fang Yingwu didn't know what Xiang Dagongzi suddenly wanted to say, so he could only say: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Xiang Chengxian pondered for a moment before saying: "This time I went to the provincial capital three months in advance, and it costs a lot of money to travel around for food, clothing, housing, transportation, and travel. Brother Fang Xian only brought one person with him, and he was shy when he thought about it. If you need money, I hope that Brother Fang Xian will not meet with us, we should be thoughtful. ”

Hong Song was worried that Fang Yingwu would hurt his self-esteem, and said to Xiang Chengxian: "The eldest man in the provincial city is the new ancestor of Fang Xian's brother, why do you need to worry about it?" ”

Xiang Chengxian retorted: "The stepmother and grandfather who fell from the world are far from the virtuous brother of the other party, and in terms of closeness, it is better to be a brother like us."

is called the grandfather and grandson, in fact, there is no blood relationship, rather than let Brother Fang Xian go to the low-voiced parasitic fence over there and receive the food that comes, it is better for us to help.

What's more, Wang Gong has a rigid temperament, doesn't he avoid suspicion at this time? What's more, the prince is an honest official, how much can he help Fang Xian's brother? ”

After saying that, the eldest prince turned his head again, and said to the other party very sincerely: "This is not for my brother's charity, nor is it for my brother to look down on Fang Xian's brother Gaoyi."

It's just that when you go out, it's extremely common for a penny to stump a hero, Brother Fang Xian must not wronged himself for money and trivial matters, trying to provoke others to despise jokes, so that it is not a taste in our hearts. And we invited Brother Fang Xian to go with us in March, we can't ask Fang Yingwu to slap a swollen face and become fat, so he should be helped. ”

Hong Song stopped talking, and at this moment he also felt reasonable.

Of course, Fang Yingwu will not hurt his self-esteem, that is the behavior of the weak. He was only slightly surprised, this Chengxian usually looks a little out of the way, but at this time he really has a heart, this is the style of righteousness and wealth of the ancients.

After thinking about it, he hugged his fists and thanked him: "Brother Xiang's kindness has been received, with the help of you two local tyrants, presumably the younger brother can also be relaxed at hand." ”

Xiang Chengxian and Hong Song looked at each other and smiled, no longer talking about vulgar things like money. This Fang Yingwu is really high and not loses in words, and he also detains the word "local tyrant" that sounds sarcastic to the two of them, but as long as he doesn't see it, it's fine.

The journey was not too long, and after a few days, we arrived at the water pier outside the Fengshan Gate in the south of Hangzhou. Fang Yingwu, Hong and Xiang looked at the railing together, but they saw that the boats and boats in the water were as dense as ants, and the flow of people on the shore was like clouds, which was worthy of being a metropolis in the south of the Yangtze River.

Hong Song frowned and said: "It is inconvenient for the giant boat to enter and exit the city, so we still disembark here, and it is easy to enter the city by land." ”

The boat found an empty place to dock, and the boatman stepped on the pedal again, and invited everyone ashore.

After being on the boat for a long time, their bodies were tired, so Hong and Xiang couldn't wait to get off the boat and move their legs and feet on the shore. Fang Yingwu was a step slower behind because he wanted to support Sister Lan.

Xiang Chengxian did not forget to instruct his servants: "Go and hire a few sedan chairs!" As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of suona sound, and the distance was still very close, and the noise made the ears extremely uneasy.

Xiang Chengxian turned his head very dissatisfied, but saw a group of people popping up out of nowhere and approaching them. These people look at the jiashi and the style of the clothes, which are obviously servants, but all the clothes are bright and not silky, and they are very luxurious and weird.

Where did the nouveau riche come from? Xiang Chengxian couldn't help muttering a few words, even the people who did it were in silk uniforms, this is too fucking corrupt!

Among the group, there was also a middle-aged man who looked like a steward, trotting all the way towards the three of them. Xiang Chengxian was about to open his mouth to ask, but the steward directly passed by Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian, completely ignoring the two sons.

In the end, the middle-aged steward ran towards Fang Yingwu, who looked more simple, and said from a distance: "Fang Xianggong is okay?" ”

Fang Yingwu looked up and was quite surprised, "How can Wang Chaofeng be here?" "Who is it who is not Wang Kui, who is Wang Kui? Fang Yingwu really didn't expect it.

Then I saw more than a dozen servants in silk hats and satin clothes lined up in two straight columns, following behind Wang Chaofeng, and the neat and uniform opponents should bend down and salute with their fists, and shouted together: "I've seen Fang Xianggong!" ”

This group of nouveau riche actually came to greet Fang Yingwu? Xiang Chengxian's eyes widened, his mouth widened, and then he pointed at Fang Yingwu and exclaimed, "It turns out that you are the real local tyrant!" Or a big tyrant in the provincial capital! The little one has eyes and doesn't know the gold and jade, and he offended Fang Tuhao, and he is guilty of sin! (To be continued......)
