Chapter 201: Mocking Face
After the salute, Fang Yingwu stood beside Shang Chen. After asking about his daily life and physical condition, Fang Yingwu turned to the topic and talked selectively about his deeds in the past year.
When Fang Yingwu talked about the situation in the capital, Shang Xianggong was noncommittal and did not speak. As the previous first assistant, his identity is here, and it is inappropriate to talk too much about the affairs of the capital and the imperial court, which will give people the impression of being frivolous and relying on the old man.
However, when Fang Yingwu talked about Yulin's experience, Shang Xianggong nodded and praised: "You have been belittled and exiled, but you can get up from the sinking, and you will not forget to serve the country when you are far away from the rivers and lakes, which is commendable." After the use of the world, it is not worth what you have learned. ”
Zuihou Fang Yingwu talked about the highlight, that is, the turmoil in Hangzhou. Although when the storm was about to rise before, Fang Yingwu had already entrusted the Wang family to send a house slave to send a letter to Shang Xianggong and explain the situation carefully. But at this time, Fang Yingwu still took the trouble to talk about it in detail, without hiding it at all.
Shang Xianggong sighed: "Ning Liang and I have known each other for 30 years, and he has always been upright, and his official reputation is also there, otherwise I would not recommend him to the Son of Heaven as the political envoy of Zhejiang Zuobu." Unexpectedly, when it came to Zhishi, he caused this scandal.
The subsection may be lenient, the righteousness cannot be lost, you have done the right thing, and you can't be in the same stream with Ning Liang. If there is no persistence in the altar, what is the difference with the walking dead? In life, it is the most difficult to be able to have a clear conscience. ”
Hearing this, Fang Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief and was completely relieved. Maybe he has thought about similar things, or someone else has said it, but from the mouth of the prime minister, the meaning is naturally different.
And throughout the history of Shang Xianggong, it is indeed the same as paying attention to the major rights and wrongs. Therefore, his words should not be hypocritical.
After the Tumubao Change, Shang Xianggong emerged as one of the backbones of the main battle faction; or the bottomless behavior of Wang Zhi the year before last. The plain and calm Shang Xianggong fought fiercely, and finally ended with Shi. If not. I'm afraid that he is still safe and secure as the first assistant now.
After chatting a few more words, Shang Xianggong said with great concern: "Next year is the year of autumn, so you must not waste your studies in the following year." If you wish, you can come to the Tired House College to study. ”
If it was before, this is not impossible to consider, but now Fang Yingwu does not want to go to Shang Xianggong's Tiju Academy to study.
The main reason is that there is already a Mr. Cheng who is not very friendly, and if he goes over, he will inevitably have to compare with this Mr. Cheng.
This kind of study must not be something that can be fooled by just talking a few words, but it is definitely necessary to talk about scriptures and classics and dig deep into righteousness and reasoning. Partiality is his weakness.
Although it is enough to deal with the scene with his level of scripture and righteousness, there is still a gap compared to the really excellent readers. Therefore, Fang Yingwu didn't want to fall behind in the face-to-face comparison with Mr. Cheng, as if his skills were not as good as others.
There is another reason that is even more difficult to explain, that is, the shadow in my heart caused by the cramming tactics of the prime minister last time is too great, and it is better to do such a thing when the exam is approaching next year.
It would be devastating to be caught up in a sea of questions from now on, with three articles a day for up to a year.
In the end, Fang Yingwu said to Shang: "Since the student took the college examination and won the fame of the student, he has not been studying for a few days. Occupying a place for nothing, this is a bit unorthodox after all. Therefore, I want to concentrate on learning in the county school, and if there is any uncertainty, I will visit the teacher again. ”
Shang Chen nodded and said, "It's okay to go to the county to study." It is better to see the wisdom and wisdom than to work behind closed doors. ”
That night, Fang Yingwu accompanied the prime minister to have dinner, and stayed in the guest room of the Tired Academy. The next day. Fang Yingwu went back to Huaxi and passed by the county seat. He thought about it for a while and decided to visit the county school teachings. I will go back to the county to study and go through the formalities.
You don't need to bring any gifts to meet the prime minister, but if you go to see the teachings, you can't leave your hands empty. There are not many shops in this small county, so Fang Yingwu looked at it and casually took a piece of meat - this gift is the most affordable.
The county seat is not big, and it took a few steps to reach the county school located in the southeast of the county. At this time, it was already afternoon, not lecture time, Fang Yingwu directly bypassed the Yilun Hall in front and came to the backyard to teach the public room.
This public house is small in size, and the door is open. Fang Yingwu stood at the door and looked inside, only to see a middle-aged gentleman in his forties sitting in the room, who looked strange, not the teaching that he had received three cents of silver from him in his impression.
Of course, this middle-aged gentleman was as strange as Fang Yingwu, he raised his eyes and saw Fang Yingwu outside the door, and took the initiative to ask, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
Fang Yingwu stepped into the threshold with the meat, made a long bow with his deep waist, and read in his mouth: "Fang Yingwu, a county student, has seen Mr.!" ”
What should we do? After a little thought, the teacher immediately knew who Fang Yingwu was.
If he is a stranger, he may not be able to remember, there are always three digits of new and old students, how can he remember the new teachings clearly. However, there are only 20 students in the county, and the unique prescription is missing, and it is said that it is said that he went on a study tour, so Mr. Jiao has some impressions of this name. What's more, Fang Yingwu's father understood Yuan in the middle of the previous year, and he was the most brilliant figure in the local area.
"Why are you here today?" The teacher asked, his attitude was very cold, and the words he asked were also very blunt, not like welcoming outstanding students to return to their hometowns, but rejecting people thousands of miles away.
This made Fang Yingwu stunned, although he is not a person who loves flowers and flowers, but he is not a mocking face? What's going on in the past two days, I met Mr. Cheng yesterday, and I met a teacher today, as if I owed a few hundred taels of silver and didn't pay it back.
It is said that he has never known this Protestant, and he should have never had a holiday, so why is he so unhappy? Fang Yingwu thought in his heart, and replied in his mouth: "The student went out to study, returned to the county the day before yesterday, and came to pay back the diploma, and he will rely on Mr. in the future." ”
"Got it, you can go to Master Mao for the specific procedures." As soon as the teacher agreed, he lowered his head and wrote, without looking at Fang Yingwu again. It is clear that there is no speculation in more than half a sentence, and there are no people here.
Fang Yingwu was puzzled, after he withdrew from the teaching office, he took a picture of the well in the courtyard, this face was still so handsome, and there was no mocking feature.
Later, Fang Yingwu went to the county school to teach him. There are also two teachings under the county's teachings, one of which is Mao's teaching, which is from the county and has known each other in the past.
"It's no wonder that Sect Meng is teaching, the reason is still on you." Mao Xundao was also enthusiastic when he saw Fang Yingwu, and explained with a smile.
Fang Yingwu was surprised: "The student and Mr. Meng don't know each other, what does he have to do with me when he annoys people?" ”
Mao Xundao asked rhetorically: "Before you went on a study tour, Yu Yaji strictly scolded the county middle school students for being lazy, not enterprising, and abandoning their studies, yes or no?" ”
"It seems that there is such a thing," Fang Yingwu recalled, and at that time, it was also to give everyone a deep memory before leaving, and establish his own image of greatness. At that time, Mr. Meng did not come to Chun'an County at all, what does this have to do with Mr. Meng?
Mao Xundao continued: "It happened that in that township test and meeting test, only your father was the first pilot test in this county, and the others were all wiped out. This is the worst result in the county in recent decades, and it is simply miserable.
Hearing your outpouring words like this, the elders of all the families in the county were extremely shaken, and their sense of distress was greatly increased. They recalled the students to their homes one after another, and strictly ordered them to study behind closed doors and not go out easily, so that most of the county students went. ”
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but think of his friends Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian, who seemed to have been arrested and returned home to study in retreat
"Now there are only twenty or thirty students in the school, and most of them are children from poor families, because they have nowhere to go except for the county school, but the cost of studying in the county school is small. ”
Although Mao Xundao did not directly point out that Meng Jiaowei Shenme was unhappy to see Fang Yingwu, but Fang Yingwu was not a novice in terms of human feelings, and he understood the meaning of Mao's teaching.
Dare to love or make money trouble!
In these years, the county school instructor is definitely one of the clearest officials, and he doesn't even have a grade, that is, the legendary "non-streaming" level, except for a high-ranking name and a slightly transcendent identity, there is nothing.
Economically speaking, there are not many county school instructors, which can be ignored, and the biggest income item is student worship, that is, gifts.
Now that Fang Yingwu has been inciting and alarmist, the children of large families and big families among the county students have been taken home and ordered to study behind closed doors, and most of the county school is immediately empty, where does the instructor's income come from? No matter how thick-skinned Meng Jiao is, he can't do anything that every family comes to ask for respect.
The remaining students in the county school are all poor children who have to live on the county school subsidy, and they study in the county school just to save a fee, so there is no money to give gifts.
"The dignity of the teacher, the dignity of the teacher" Fang Yingwu muttered to himself. Just now, I thought I had met a strict teacher, so I was dissatisfied with my behavior of wandering out for more than a year, and deliberately wanted to warn myself. Who knew that the truth was still so popular.
Mao Xun stroked his beard and said: "A drink and a peck, it is not a pre-determination, if it were me, I would also be angry." ”
Mr. Mao is a local, and his family has some land, and he is even closer to the Mao family, a big family in a neighboring county, so he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking. When he was a teacher, he wanted to have an identity and connections, and because of this, he was able to grind his teeth calmly with Fang Yingwu.
Fang Yingwu was a little distressed, in the face of such a teaching, it would definitely be difficult to mix in the county school days.
If after Jiajing and Wanli, the instructor has degenerated to the point of being called a brother to the student, naturally it doesn't matter. But this year is not too long since the beginning of the dynasty, and the authority of the instructors has not yet degenerated. The dignity of the teacher, even the father is not good at stopping the discipline of the students.
Fang Yingwu regretted it a little, he knew that it was better to agree to Shang Xianggong yesterday, and he felt that it was more relaxed to study in the county school at that time, which was suitable for his temperament of not being restrained, who knew that the county school was also a fire pit.
