Fang Yingwu was on the elegant set, and he trained the county bachelors in a strict manner, and the response was not bad, and the county praised it one-sidedly, which is also reasonable, because it is an extraordinary period now.

In last year's township test, only Fang Qingzhi in Chun'an County was promoted among the scholars who traveled abroad to study, and the other scholars were all wiped out, which was very cold. But it was covered by Xie Yuan's aura and didn't attract much attention.

This year's exam, Chun'an County is still the only one who has not come back from studying outside for two or three years, and the other people who set out from the mainland to take the exam are all wiped out again.

The imperial examination is the pride and façade of the people of Chun'an County, and it is common for two or three jinshi to be produced in one subject. However, in the context of repeated setbacks and only those who travel outside can take the test, public opinion in the county is no longer calm.

At this time, Fang Yingwu, as the only son of Jinshi in Jinke, hated iron and steel and denounced the scholars for forming gangs, eating, drinking and having fun, and denouncing the scholars for abandoning their studies and wasting their years, which could arouse the appreciation and resonance of mainstream public opinion.

Otherwise, more than half of the county students would not have been called home, strictly disciplined, and confined to their studies.

At this time, the Baimei girl, who was unwilling to be lonely, suddenly jumped out and announced that she would forgive the Fang family's thirty taels of debts, but Fang Yingwu ignored her.

Gossip aside, it is not easy to go out for a long distance these days, and a lot of preparatory work needs to be done, especially for Fang Yingwu, who has never been far away. He had been preparing for nearly a month.

Sister Lan should have brought it, but it was risky for two young men and women under twenty to walk the rivers and lakes, and they had to find two entourage.

Therefore, Fang Yingwu found a villager from the village who was nine feet tall and had a big waist and a round waist, which could increase his sense of security. also brought Sister Lan's brother as an entourage, so it was a group of four.

The family originally had three acres of land and sold it. The land in the remote mountain village is not easy to sell, and the people of the same tribe cannot afford it. Fang Yingwu took a lot of effort to sell it.

All the money from the fields was used as a coil, and the clansmen donated some together, and forty or fifty taels of silver should be enough to spend two months outside.

Before leaving, Fang Yingwu went to Renshou Township Tiju Academy again to visit and bid farewell to Shang Xianggong.

Shang Zhen also praised the other party's firing a few days ago: "What you said that day is right, the truth is indeed this truth, the morale has been a little flashy in recent years, and it needs to be drunk." The old man built this academy at the foot of a secluded mountain. Not in the village or town, it is also out of the meaning of staying away from the hustle and bustle. ”

"The late life is just like a fish in the throat, not vomiting or unhappy, but it makes the elder smile when he sees it."

Shang Xianggong sighed: "You young people yearn for the outside shijie, and the pursuit of fame is too strong, and you will not know the joy of traveling in the forest and springs until you are old." ”

Fang Yingwu said: "If there are no young people who are determined to forge ahead, how can there be elderly people who can enjoy Linquan." ”

Shang Daxiao sighed a few times, took out five or six letters, handed them to Fang Yingwu and said, "This is a letter written by the old man to some old people in Beijing. and my son's letters, you will bring them for me. ”

The name is to carry the letter, in fact, it is to care, and to let him carry the letter is to introduce him to others. How can Fang Yingwu not know? Then he said with gratitude: "Lao Fu Ge Lao has worked hard to write many letters, this love. Late life is toothless and unforgettable. ”

Shang Shi stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't be tired, every letter is the same word." It's easy. It's just that the title of the header has changed to a different person. ”

Fang Yingwu found that Shang Ge did not engage in sea training. It's funny, too.

During the preparation for departure, the results of the final examination of the imperial examination, the palace examination, came from Beijing, and the only remaining seedling Fang Qingzhi in Chun'an County ranked fourth in the second class among the three hundred and fifty jinshi, that is, seventh in the overall list.

The top three tripod armor is not so good, and the strength of chance is indispensable, so the fourth place in the second class is already a position that is so high that people can look up.

Fang Yingwu patted his head half relieved and half painfully, his father, an expert in the exam, was simply out of control, and he soared to the end in one breath. Now, if you want your father to be a magistrate, it is impossible to avoid the chaos in Beijing.

More than 3,000 elites representing the whole country gathered in Beijing and produced more than 300 jinshi, which is already a one-tenth probability. Winning seventh place in a tenth, my father's results were terrible.

Fang Yingwu is most afraid of the higher he rises, the heavier he falls.

The fourth place in the second class is determined to stay in Beijing as a Beijing official. If you can pass the hall selection, it is to go to the Hanlin Academy to be a Shujishi, even if you can't enter the Hanlin Academy, then there will definitely be no problem to go to the Six Metropolitan Inspectorates.

The Ministries and Hanlin are all the core layers of the state institutions, and my father is going to go in, but I am afraid that he will be involved in the whirlpool immediately.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu became more and more worried, and became more determined to go to Beijing.

At the beginning of April, the day of parting still came. Outside the south gate of the county, the ancient ferry head of Qingxi, the rocks are craggy, the grass is green, and Fang Yingwu said goodbye to Hong Song and Hong Gongzi on the shore.

Fang Yingwu looked left and right, and found that Xiang Chengxian did not appear with Hong Song, which was very strange, and couldn't help asking, "Where is Brother Xiang?" Could it be that you have a dispute? ”

Hong Song's trademark wry smile appeared on his face, "Since the last Yaji, Uncle Xiang has escorted him home, and he can't be free during the year, so he can't come out today."

Speaking of which, Uncle Xiang often spurs you on his lips, and he hates you to death now. ”

Fang Yingwu sighed, and was also a little reluctant. Although Hong and Xiang have different temperaments, they are both people who are worthy of being friends, and they have really helped them a lot in the past six months, at least they have never urged themselves to repay the money they borrowed

He bowed deeply and said, "I don't know how many years I have been going here, if there is something in my Huaxi Fang clan, I hope that Brother Hong will not hesitate to lend a hand." ”

Hong Song returned the courtesy: "It's easy to say, but please rest assured." I also wish Brother Fang Xian to fly high and have a long journey. ”

The two talked for a while, and Fang Yingwu drank three glasses of parting wine, turned his head and got on the boat. The boatman propped up the boat and slowly walked towards the heart of the river.

Fang Yingwu stood on the bow of the boat and waved to Hong Gongzi. When the boat was a few feet away from the shore, suddenly someone rushed from the other side of the road and rushed to the dock in one go.

It's none other than Xiang Chengxian. He was out of breath and shouted to the other person through the water, "You wait! This senior must be stronger than you in the future! ”

Fang Yingwu hahadaxiao, waving his hand and entering the cabin.

On the shore, Hong Songqi said: "Why did you come out again?" ”

Xiang Chengxian replied: "I heard that it was to send Fang Xian's brother, so my father let me out for half a day." ”

The two watched the ship move away, and suddenly heard a song and song coming from the cabin, and listened quietly.

"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered"

Xiang Chengxian muttered to himself: "Let's go, it's so sensational." (To be continued.) )
