Chapter 332: Human Favors and Official Affairs (I)
After Fang Yingwu got up, he only felt back pain. I did the eighth set of radio gymnastics three times in a row in the yard before I felt slightly better. I couldn't help but sigh again and again, I need to strengthen my physical exercise, don't really become a powerless scholar.
He was wondering, should he ask someone to make a few stone burdens or something like that to put in the courtyard? Or invent some fitness equipment? Suddenly, the front door came to report, and the Liu family sent someone to pass the word.
I didn't know what was going on early in the morning, Fang Yingwu called someone to ask, it turned out that the two sons of the old Taishan family returned to their hometown of Baoding Prefecture Boye County a year ago, and they were going back to the house today, so the Liu family asked him to go over to meet together.
In the past half a year, Fang Yingwu was frightened by Liu Mian's scheming, and he wanted to die and refused to accept it. So recently, I have been avoiding Lao Taishan and definitely not taking the initiative to meet, but this time it is not easy to refuse.
In this way, Fang Yingwu went to the Ministry of Rites and shook it, and saw that there was nothing going on. The coming and going of a political jinshi is still very free, and no one will be more serious, so Fang Yingwu got up and went to Liu's mansion again.
At this time, Liu Mian was sitting in the lobby with the old lady, and Fang Yingwu stepped forward to see the salute, so he subconsciously looked left and right, and there was no trace of the little fiancΓ©e.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, according to the customs of this year, I am afraid that I will not see anyone before I get married, and I will probably not be able to see it clearly until I lift the hijab.
Mrs. Liu smiled and quipped, "The groom can't wait?" Don't worry, there will be a time when you will watch and watch again. β
Fang Yingwu said a few times with "shame", and chatted with Lao Taishan.
Liu Mian has been doing things well and proudly recently, especially taking advantage of the battle for the champion of the palace examination to put the second assistant Liu Jue together. made Liu Yu suddenly become a falling limit. So he was in a very good mood, and he talked about trivial matters in the court with Fang Yingwu. In this regard, the two still have a common language.
Fang Yingwu thought of his future and asked, "I don't know if the imperial court is still in the hall to choose Shu Jishi?" If you have the opportunity. Son-in-law, I'd like to give it a try. β
Liu Mian was stunned, stroked his beard and smiled: "Ahhahaha, today is a beautiful day, the weather is really good, it is a rare good day." If you have the opportunity, you should go to the countryside to enjoy the spring. β
Liu Ji didn't want to talk about the topic of Shu Jishi, because it was not up to him to have the final say, and the importance of Shu Jishi's selection was far greater than that of ordinary officials, and all the eyes of the court were staring.
Besides, he can't help Fang Yingwu in this. In other words, the help side should not gain more than it loses, exceeds the bottom line, and the price may be too great. Anyway, the Fang family already has Fang Qingzhi, so there is no need to worry about Fang Yingwu's side.
But Liu Mian was a little worried that Fang Yingwu was obsessed, and he had to ask him for help, which would make it difficult for him to do it when the time came, so he simply diverted the topic and didn't talk about it, so as not to be embarrassed.
Fang Yingwu let out an "oh", not pestering the future old Taishan. Turning his head and talking to the old lady about homely things, talking and laughing relaxedly.
Liu Mian launched his fiery eyes and watched coldly from the side. After a few moments, he finally determined that his son-in-law was not trying to get away with him. I really don't care
This made him curious, and Fang Yingwu was actually led away like this? Shouldn't he be stalking to the end?
In Liu Mian's impression, Fang Ying's objectivity is quite firm. There is a little bit of momentum that does not reach the goal, how can it be shaken away like this? It seems that the only explanation is. Fang Yingwu may have other tricks.
It is impossible for Liu Mian to deny his thoughts under hesitation.
The selection of Ji Shi is the selection of the Son of Heaven. It's a trivial matter, and there are only a handful of people who can say anything about it. That is, including himself, three university scholars, Xu Pu, the head of the Hanlin Academy, Yin Min, the secretary of the ministry, Zhou Hongmo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Huai'en, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and Qin Chang, the eunuch of Bingbi.
But these people were eliminated one by one by Liu Mian with the elimination method, and anyone with a little IQ can see that it is absolutely impossible for these people to help Fang Yingwu to engage in Shu Jishi. In addition, the rest of the people are not even qualified to speak, unless they are arrogant and ignorant of the height of the sky.
Who else can you go to for help? Liu Mian deserved to be Liu Mian, and soon thought of the second explanation, could this be a manifestation of Fang Yingwu's deliberate forbearance? So Fang Yingwu forced a smile and deliberately pretended not to care?
Looking back, since the imperial examination, Fang Yingwu seems to have been alienated from himself, not as unscrupulous as before, and even dares to come to the door for help for such a as buying a house.
Liu Mian's emotional intelligence is not blown, and he immediately realized that forbearance and alienation are not good signs! This shows that Fang Ying has a bad mind and begins to defend himself, and the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law should not be like this!
He and the Fang family are not only future relatives, but also political figures, and once the trust between politicians is lost, the consequences are unimaginable.
It's not too late to make amends! Thinking of this, Liu Mian decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with her son-in-law. He coughed heavily, drawing Fang Yingwu's gaze. "The old man has a few words to say to you, you and my son-in-law should be open and honest, and everything should be said."
Fang Yingwu was stunned, feeling very inexplicable, what did Lao Taishan mean by suddenly saying this, took the wrong medicine?
"To be honest, whether it is winning the champion or choosing a Jishi, the old man really didn't try his best to help you. Do you have any complaints about the old man in your heart, and think that the old man is too unkind? β
Fang Yingwu is even more inexplicable, and the future husband is also sentimental, is this menopause? Or is it deliberately testing yourself? Hurriedly replied: "What did Old Taishan say?" How dare the son-in-law think so? β
Liu Mian sighed: "It's good that you really don't think so, and you shouldn't think so, you young people have a shallow understanding of the world after all."
The old man stood by and watched, this is not that the old man is ruthless, you can take this as the first lesson in officialdom! The theme of this class is: human favor to human favor, official business to official business, and no human favor to affect public affairs!
For example, there is a human relationship between you and me, but it is impossible for the old man to take care of you in everything in the court! When you encounter something, you still need to think carefully, and it may not all be completely biased in your favor. You can't think that after becoming an old husband and son-in-law, you can do whatever you want!
Don't say it's you, it's the old man's two sons, and so far they haven't won the two lists, can you understand the stakes clearly? β
"Yes, teachable." Fang Yingwu was still inexplicable, and he didn't know how to answer that he came to see his relatives today, not to attend class?
At this moment, the door official rushed into the lobby and reported: "The two young masters are outside the door!" (To be continued......)
