Fang Qingzhi observed his words and looks, and also saw some clues. He knew that his son had always been decisive, whether he agreed or not, he should make a decision quickly, and he shouldn't be so embarrassed that he wanted to live or die, so there must be something strange in it.

At this time, Fang Yingwu pressed his chaotic thoughts. At this time, it is useless to think too much, it is necessary to figure out the cause and effect first, otherwise there is no way to judge. Then he asked, "Why did my father suddenly talk about this?" Why did that Li Dongiyagong mention these things again? ”

Fang Qingzhi replied: "As the saying goes, the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, if your father asks for your daughters among your colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, you will be interested in you. ”

It turns out that it was my father who went to the Hanlin Courtyard to recruit relatives, so there was Li Dongyang's positive response, Fang Yingwu didn't understand how his father became so eventful, but he also vaguely understood.

But it is said that this Li Dongyang has always been famous for his love of poetry and writing in history, is it true that he won the lottery this time and won the jackpot? But the question is back, do you receive the award or not?

Fang Yingwu asked carefully: "Xiya Gong has ever said that Weishenme has taken a fancy to his son me?" ”

Fang Qingzhi thought back for a moment, "It seems that I have read your poems and praised them, and I have also heard of your deeds." ”

This answer is equivalent to asking nothing, Fang Yingwu didn't get what he wanted to know, but he could only be helpless.

Fang Yingwu believes that if he deals directly with Li Dongyang, he can find out some clues, but his father is still a little worse than himself in this regard.

Then the right and identified Li Dongyang also took a fancy to his eighteen-year-old status and unlimited potential in the future. This should be the most likely cause.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu is very proud. He was not ashamed to be a time-traveler, and at the same time, he decided to reveal the situation to his father a little. After all, "an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws", and it is impossible for her family affairs to completely hide her father.

"Don't hide it from my father, in terms of family affairs, my son also has some intentions, but I haven't agreed yet, and I haven't had time to make it clear to my father."

"What?" Fang Qingzhi was surprised, and almost asked, "You dare to make your own decisions about this without going through your father."

But Fang Qingzhi already understood very well at this time that asking his son who had grown up on his own was no different from farting, so he asked directly: "Who are you secretly talking to?" ”

Fang Yingwu replied: "As for whose father it is, we will know later." This family will not be lower than Xiya Gong. I won't lose the façade of our house. ”

Although Fang Qingzhi was full of questions, he simply looked at his son and stopped talking.

Fang Yingwu said again: "But my father doesn't have to be too anxious, since Xiya Gong's side is also warm, it is better to postpone it until the end of the Spring Festival." ”

This choice is too important to affect a lifetime, and it is difficult to make a choice for a while with the decisiveness of Fang Ying. So he decided to postpone his final choice for a while, maybe a few months later.

After a few months, wait for the results to come out. The situation is subject to change. Change makes sense, and many things can only be seen clearly in change.

In Fang Yingwu's eyes, the biggest variable is, of course, Liu Mian, and since Li Dongyang is willing to propose a family affair now. Regardless of whether he is a jinshi or not, it probably won't affect Li Dongyang.

If he can't get into the jinshi, there will be a variable of Liu Mian's regret. Then you can not hesitate, you can only choose Li Dongyang.

Of course. If there is a situation where no matter whether he is a jinshi or not, Liu Mian will not regret it. It will be difficult then, and it will be even more difficult than it is now.

Fang Qingzhi stared at him for a long time, and seeing that his son still refused to reveal who the other potential in-laws were, he had to sigh helplessly and talk about another matter. "Now it's the end of the year, and the New Year's banquet of the Hanlin Academy is about half a month later, do you want to go?"

Generally, at the end of the year, it is the peak period for the public funds of the various yamen in Beijing to eat and drink. At this time, each yamen will hold its own public banquet, and colleagues of all sizes will gather together to enjoy their pastime, and the Hanlin Academy is no exception.

If it was replaced by another father, whether to let his son attend this kind of banquet was decided by his own words, but Fang Qingzhi unconsciously used the interrogation sentence.

Fang Yingwu was stunned, what a noble place the Hanlin Academy is, it is the cradle of the future Zaifu, it is a very special yamen, not everyone who wants to go there, is he qualified to participate in the public banquet?

Even if his father is the editor of the Qipin Hanlin Academy, if everyone is familiar with the future prime ministers, wouldn't it be completely messed up?

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu looked at his father with admiration, daring to love his father's face and reputation in the Hanlin Academy had reached such a large level.

"Hanlin has its own rules! Of course, not just any family member can participate, but you can! Facing his son's questions, Fang Qingzhi, who is a member of Hanlin, is very proud.

"I'm proud of my father! With this face, if you don't enter the cabinet in the future, it will be intolerable! Fang Yingwu raised his arms and shouted gibberishly.

Immediately, Fang Qingzhi's momentum subsided, and his face was slightly red: "The rules of our Hanlin Academy are all rules based on merit, and family members like you who are young people can make an exception and follow their father to the Hanlin banquet to see the world." ”

This Fang Yingwu smiled dumbly, in the final analysis, it was not because of his father's big face, or because of his own great achievements

Of course, in the dynasty that pays attention to human feelings, if there was no father as a medium, it would be impossible for him to attend the Hanlin banquet.

Knowing that he could go to the Hanlin banquet, even if he was as calm as Fang Yingwu, he was a little excited, and he went back to the house to take the concubine to vent his anger before calming down.

There is a good saying that being a Hanlin does not mean being a prime minister, but most of the prime ministers are from Hanlin. According to Fang Yingwu's incomplete estimate, according to the development process of traveling through time and space, there are about three or four future first-aided people in the current Hanlin Academy.

And maybe you can directly contact Li Dongyang, and get a first-hand judgment through this contact, it is better than listening to your father's unreliable second-hand news.

Without mentioning the gossip, the time was slowly read in Fang Yingwu's reading, and in the middle of December, Fang Yingwu finally waited for the day of the public banquet in the Hanlin Academy.

This banquet did not go to the restaurant, probably the high Hanlin disdainful of such a cheesy. Only a few seats were simply placed in the lobby of the Hanlin Temple, and the dishes were very rough, but the wine used was the best wine given by the Son of Heaven.

Fang Yingwu was still dressed plainly and cleanly, and followed his father along the royal street through the right gate and left gate of Chang'an, and came to the Hanlin Academy Office in the southeast of the imperial city.

Although this route is located outside the Chengtian Gate, it is the outermost gate and street of the imperial city, but it is also included in the imperial city, how can idle people be allowed to wear it indiscriminately? Therefore, others can only go around in a big circle from the direction of Daming Gate, but the officials of the Hanlin Academy and the ministers of Zaifu have this privilege.

Along the royal street, Fang Qingzhi looked at his son beside him, sighed with emotion, pointed to the road and said: "I think back then, after my father won the Jinshi, he walked all the way into Chengtianmen along this street and bowed to the emperor. ”

"Oh, hit the horse and worship the street, it is really one of the most beautiful things in the world." Fang Yingwu is very yearning for it.

"It's Sanding Jia who hits the horse and the street, and my father only follows him on the side of the street," Fang Qingzhi explained depressedly.

Fang Yingwu smiled and said, "Huh? It's just a little bit. ”

Fang Qingzhi couldn't help but sigh, and then squinted at his son, I don't know if this son can meet this expectation?

While the father and son were chatting, suddenly someone else's old slave ran over from behind and called out to the father and son. "It's Fang Hanlin in front?"

Fang Qingzhi turned around and replied, "It's exactly below." ”

Fang Yingwu looked into the distance, and dozens of steps behind, there was a large red tweed official sedan chair carried by eight people, and there were twenty or thirty honor guards around it. Looking at the pie, as if he was a Zai Fu character, Fang Yingwu thought.

The old slave replied: "My lord is Liu Xianggong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he sent a young man to say hello to Fang Hanlin, and after a while, the Hanlin banquet will be held." ”

"Thank you for Liu Xianggong's kindness." Fang Qingzhi frowned, still not understanding how Scholar Liu Ji repeatedly showed favor.

But Fang Yingwu next to him was already stunned, how could Liu Mian go? How could Liu Mian go? How can Liu Mian go?

He could imagine that his appearance at the Hanlin banquet must be a special element, and when he became a special element, he would be noticed. If I couldn't grow a face, my father wouldn't have brought me with me.

And then in this case, what happens when Liu Mian and Li Dongyang are both present? If these two people say something to themselves on the spot on a whim, how can they deal with themselves?

For this situation, Fang Yingwu was completely unprepared, and hurriedly asked his father with sweat on his head: "At the public banquet of the Hanlin Academy, what kind of excitement did the Zai Fu characters make?" ”

Fang Qingzhi couldn't understand that his son Weishenme would be surprised, "What's so strange about this?" Zai Fu is from Hanlin and can be regarded as the predecessor of the Hanlin Academy, so the elders of the Hanlin banquet over the years will participate. ”

"You old man didn't say it soon," Fang Yingwu's gaze as he looked at his father, full of grief and sadness.

In fact, it was still careless, and for a while I forgot to take into account the special relationship between the Hanlin Academy and the cabinet. Most people regard the Hallym Academy and the Cabinet as two departments, which can be said and not.

The Hanlin Academy and the cabinet can actually be regarded as a yamen, just two sets of people and two brands, and then you have me, I have you.

More precisely, the Hallym Won can be seen as an institution of the cabinet in the foreign courts, and the cabinet is always regarded as the office of the Hallym in the palace. In the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet is listed under the entry of the Hanlin Academy.

In this case, how can the elders and Hanlin who are all proud of their Hanlin backgrounds see each other, of course, they have to participate in the Hanlin banquet smoothly.

Not only Liu Mian will go, but also the first assistant Wan An and the second assistant Liu Jue will go, this is the most elite circle in the entire Ming Dynasty. (To be continued......)
