Another day, Fang Yingwu was suddenly rumored that his old friend Hong Song had arrived in the capital and lived in the house of his uncle, Hong Tingchen, who is now the head of the criminal department.

Fang Yingwu immediately put down the affairs in his hand and went to visit Hongfu. At the gate of Hongfu, Fang Yingwu met Xiang Chengxian, and entered the gate together, but saw Hong Song hurriedly escorting out the Yimen.

After that, the three of them met in the hall, and before they could catch up, they sighed to each other first, sighing for the vagaries of life.

Hong Song said with emotion: "In the past, the three of us went in and out together, which can be regarded as irreversible friends. Now the two virtuous brothers, one of whom bears the name of the blue sky, and the other is a science and Taoism, are both highly accomplished people. Only the foolish brother is a few years old, but he has achieved nothing in the years, and he is really shameless. ”

Fang Yingwu comforted: "You just haven't come yet, don't worry." There are only three years left before and after, and you can show your mind after high school! ”

Hong Song laughed, "Don't persuade me, compared to you, it's really more popular than you." You are all soaring, only I am left alone in the township, if you can't think about it, you will end up depressed in the countryside!

Besides, this will try, the world's elites are gathered, how dare anyone dare to say that they will be able to win? But after entering Beijing, I can see that you are all proud, and this is enough. ”

Hong Song came from Chun'an County this time, and he also brought a lot of letters, all of which were from Chun'an's old relatives and friends, including one written by the Minister of Commerce to Fang Yingwu.

Fang Yingwu couldn't help but open it on the spot, and Mr. Shang mainly encouraged himself in the letter, calling himself a person who made his hometown parents proud.

Hong Song remembered something, and the other party responded: "This year is the seventieth birthday of Shang Xianggong, you can't ignore it." ”

Fang Yingwu sighed: "The king's life is here. There is no freedom, and the mountains are high and the waters are long. Elusive. I can't wait to hurry up and return to my hometown to celebrate the teacher's birthday. ”

Hong Song came up with an idea: "There are returnees among my servants. Brother Fang Xian may write a birthday poem, or have a birthday celebration, and ask my servants to bring it back to Chun'an. Or bring a message and ask your relatives in the township to prepare a birthday gift for you. ”

Fang Yingwu nodded yes, and secretly made a draft in his heart. Then the three of them drank and talked freely in the Hong Mansion, sometimes arguing loudly, sometimes laughing, and finally each got drunk and fell asleep until dawn.

Xiang Chengxian and Fang Yingwu are both people who have official duties. And the test is approaching, Hong Song must also meditate on his books, so he can't talk endlessly.

In this way, Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian left the Hong Mansion first, and when they walked outside the gate, Xiang Chengxian asked again: "Is there really no way to help Brother Hong?" ”

Fang Yingwu sighed: "It's really difficult, let's collect some articles worth figuring out for him first, and let him be more familiar with the style of the Hanyuan examiner, so that he can add a little certainty." ”

When he returned home, Fang Yingwu found that a family member had packed their luggage. After asking, he said that the eldest master ordered it, and Fang Yingwu went to his father to inquire again.

Fang Qingzhi hesitated for a moment and replied, "It is possible that my father will serve as the examiner of this examination, and he will soon be stationed in the Tribute Academy." Isolation from the outside world until the end of the exam. ”

The examiner has been selected? What is possible, is it certain? However, his father Fang Qingzhi was able to be the same examiner, which did not make Fang Yingwu feel strange.

A person who has just completed the "Wenhua Great Training" and has expressed his noble character on the Golden Palace. It can be said that he has both ability and political integrity, and it is not strange to be a fellow examiner. Even the best candidates.

However, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but ask, "Who is the chief examiner?" ”

Fang Qingzhi hesitated for a moment again, "According to rumors, the chief examiner is probably Liu Luoyang. The deputy examiner is Xie Yuyao. ”

Liu Luoyang is Liu Jian, a young Zhan Shi and a bachelor of Hanlin, and Xie Yuyao is naturally Xie Qian. Fang Yingwu didn't have any feelings about Liu Jian as the chief examiner, but this Xie Qian was the champion of Chenghua for eleven years, and he was able to return to the department as the deputy examiner in just nine years, which is really eye-catching.

Thinking of Xie Qian's promotion speed, Fang Yingwu subconsciously complained: "In these years, the tired and tired practical officials of my generation have sunk into subordinates, and the old men of Cilin do not touch the real things, and they are promoted rapidly.

What else is there in the East Palace, the banquet attendant, the compilation of books and history, the examiner of the scientific field, such a tall errand mixed with qualifications, making connections, and gaining fame and fortune inside and out"

Only halfway through his complaint, Fang Yingwu found that his father's face had darkened, gloomy like dark clouds, as if he would thunder at any time.

Fang Yingwu realized that he was simply complaining about inhuman. The person in front of him is not only his father, but also the Zuo Yude of Zuo Chunfang of Zhan Shifu, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, the waiter of the East Palace, the compiler of the "Wenhua Great Training", and the examiner of the current examination.

Although the old man did not have been the deputy chief examiner of the examination for nine years, he also became the examiner for six years, and the examiner complained about Xie Qian's words on his old man, which was not bad.

"Father's anger! To believe in my filial piety, I swear in the name of Fang Qingtian, I really didn't say anything about you! Fang Yingwu explained very sincerely.

Originally, Fang Yingwu wanted to talk to his father about Hong Song, but after thinking about it again, he didn't say it. First of all, my father is just the same examiner, and he has a general relationship with the two examiners, and he doesn't have that much ability to pass through the joints.

Secondly, his father is such a flawless person who is famous for his temperament, for the sake of great expectations, it is better not to smear the old man on his old man, and besides, his father is not this material, don't be self-defeating and troublesome.

After the fifteenth festival of the first lunar month, the imperial court resumed normal operation, and the biggest thing at present is naturally the triennial meeting that attracts the attention of the world.

At this time, the chief examiner and the same examiner were stationed in the Gongyuan one after another, and then the Gongyuan was officially closed, and the examiners cut off the internal and external contact, quietly waiting for the eighth day of the second month.

Don't think that the test has nothing to do with Fang Yingwu, as the capital attached to Guo County, Wanping County has a great burden, and of course Daxing County is the same.

These two counties had to recruit and distribute thousands of errand soldiers for the meeting, prepare countless pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and various miscellaneous items, and raise dozens of sedan chairs to be sent to and from the court, and also send fresh vegetables and vegetables to the Gongyuan every day.

Fang Qingzhi, one of the examiners, entered the tribute courtyard in a sedan chair provided by Wanping County, and then ate the food paid tribute by Wanping County inside, making the utensils offered by Wanping County.

Then before the exam, suddenly rumors circulated. said that the official Qingzhi of this exam is in the Gongyuan, and his son Wanping Zhixian Fang Yingwu is outside the Gongyuan, and there are henchmen Wanping County messengers to communicate inside and outside, but I am afraid that in this exam, the Fang family will have to go up and down!

Every time before the exam that determines the fate of countless lives, it is a time when all kinds of rumors are rampant, and whoever is the examiner is inevitable, and it is not too unusual for rumors to emerge from the Fang family at this time.

But after hearing this rumor, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but be furious! In order to maintain his father's innocence, he himself was reluctant to tarnish his father's character, but he was slandered by outsiders, which is really unbearable! (To be continued......)
