According to the rules, Fang Yingwu must leave Beijing after three days; And because it was the Son of Heaven who personally issued an edict to send it to Bian Town, it was an honor that there would be two Jinyi Guard sergeants who would be responsible for transporting Fang Xiucai to Yansui Town.

In the three days before leaving, Fang Yingwu couldn't care about the sorrow and sorrow for the future. He was busy, even busier than his father.

First of all, since his father was released from prison, some of his fellow villagers and classmates in the same year have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they have visited his father at the residence of the Zhejiang Guild Hall.

Fang Yingwu took the initiative to act as a companion and met with his father from all walks of life. Fortunately, he is also a scholar and can quite get on the stage.

This is not for the sake of showing his face in front of people to brush the sense of existence, with his father and a very dazzling big light bulb, the effect of Fang Yingwu's sense of presence is almost zero. His main purpose is simple, or to fulfill the promise.

Because Fang Yingwu agreed with Liu Ji and Liu Gelao, Liu Gelao tried to help his father get out of prison, and he, Fang Yingwu, as a family member, should try his best to advocate and praise Liu Gelao by means including writing poems, so as to help Liu Gelao, who has a poor image, improve his reputation.

Now that his father has come out, the result is even better than expected, so Fang Yingwu naturally can't be untrustworthy and leave with his hand, so he must hurry up and do what needs to be done. Otherwise, it is still a trivial matter to lose trust, and it would be a big loss to let Liu Mian have any opinion of his father on this.

Therefore, in front of all the guests, Fang Yingwu expressed his unreserved gratitude to Liu Ji, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, for his righteous act of coming forward to save his father, expressing his respect from the bottom of his heart and giving him unparalleled praise.

Meantime. He took advantage of other people's curiosity about the name of his little poem and made a few seven-rule poems in public (according to Scholar Liu's own preference). Scholar Liu was artistically beautified.

At least Fang Yingwu himself thinks that the effect is excellent. He didn't have anything else to do. Who do you want to tout wholeheartedly, but can't you hold it?

However, this kind of communication is still very tiring, especially when the other party must be nervous and deal with it wholeheartedly.

In the evening, he sent away a guest from Zuihou today, standing in the courtyard, feeling the not so cool summer night breeze, Fang Yingwu wiped his sweat, and said implicitly: "Son, I really didn't see it." Father, although you have only been in the capital for a few months, there are really a lot of relationships in all aspects. ”

Every father wants to be proud in front of his son, and Fang Qingzhi is no exception, besides, he really didn't hear the connotation of his son's words. only replied proudly: "The gentlemen are not the party, where the righteousness lies, although the time is short, but of course there will be some people in the same way." ”

Fang Yingwu let out an "oh", "I see, it's indeed a very good fellow." But all of them disappeared a while ago.

Thinking about it, I have been running around the capital for days and days in the past half month, and I haven't seen any of them, and I thought my father was a lonely man at that time. I don't have any friendship with anyone else. ”

Fang Qingzhi's face couldn't hold back, and he scolded lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, talk about others casually behind your back!" ”

Fang Yingwu remembered something again. Fang Qingzhi suggested: "Father, you can take a few months of marriage leave and go back to Suzhou Mansion to marry Miss Wang Liu." ”

Talk to your son about her marriage. Fang Qingzhi was a little embarrassed, always feeling that he was the most old and disrespectful. "There's no rush to this. You don't have to worry about it."

"If you are in a hurry, you will immediately ask for leave, and then leave Jingshi immediately. It is to use this as an excuse to avoid the limelight in the past few months, and to return to Beijing when everything is completely calm in a few months. ”

Fang Qingzhi was surprised and said: "I haven't seen you for two years, you know a lot"

Fang Yingwu hurriedly reminded: "Father, don't forget the three-year study contract, you will understand it after you finish learning." ”

Then Fang Yingwu left the hall and went to Zhongyi Bookstore to find Yao Qian. It's not that he has to go at night, it's because he's too short on time and has to hurry up with everything he does.

Yao Qian was very respectful, personally greeted the door, and invited Fang Yingwu to an elegant small hall in the inner courtyard, showing a sense of closeness.

Mr. Yao even wanted to give Fang Yingwu a little bit of bookstore shares, but Fang Yingwu sternly refused. Of course, Fang Yingwu is looking for Yao Qian, not without purpose, mainly to implement his own propaganda jihua.

"Fang Gongzi, don't worry, this time you rescued me from Dongchang Fanzi, and I can't repay you! Not only on the Bagu Shiwen Anthology, but also in the future, all the books engraved in my bookstore, the title page will be put on your persuasion poems, which also complements each other! ”

"That's a good idea!" Fang Yingwu got this answer and was completely relieved. He suddenly remembered that Dongchang said that Yao Qian published unsightly forbidden books here, so he smiled very vaguely, "There is still a little favor, I hope Mr. Yao will be successful." ”

Yao Qian agreed: "But it doesn't hurt to speak." ”

"Mr. Yao, I don't know if there are any banned books here? Can you give me a few sets to pass the time on the westbound road? ”

Yao Qian was stunned, "There are still books, but are you sure you need these to pass the time?" ”

Fang Yingwu said cheekily: "I have lived to be sixteen years old, and I have never seen what a banned book looks like, and this time it also opened my eyes." ”

Yao Qian whispered a few words to the servant beside him, and the servant hurried out of the house. It wasn't long before he came back with another man, both holding a thick stack of books.

Fang Yingwu couldn't help but step forward to take a copy, and when he looked at it, he saw a few big characters on the cover - Yao's Yellow Calendar.

Is this a banned book? This is a forbidden book that should be very yellow and violent in his impression? Fang Yingwu turned his head in shock and asked, "Mr. Yao didn't make a mistake when he called someone, right?" ”

Yao Qian sighed and said: "That's right, originally the almanac can only be promulgated and published by the government, and the people are not allowed to print it without authorization, so as not to use this evil words to confuse the public and disturb people's hearts, so the almanac is a banned book."

But the ban has not been strict, and I was negligent about it, and this time I accidentally brought a batch to Beijing, and I was targeted by Dongchang Fanzi as a handle.

But I'm curious, do you really plan to pass the time on the road with several kinds of yellow calendars? ”

Fang Yingwu was disappointed, and thought it was a contemporary fashionable erotic book that could open his eyes, but it turned out that this forbidden book was actually an old yellow calendar!

Because it was late that night, Fang Yingwu stayed at Yao Qian's house. After a night of speech, after breakfast the next day, he went to the mansion of Shanggong outside Dong'an Gate. Fang Yingshi, the stallion, is still fighting in the mansion

Fang Yingwu was clear, and waited in the gatehouse for a while, then saw Fang Yingshi appear in the field of vision.

The tall and strong stone brother is now walking staggeringly, and his steps are very vain. Obviously, he still looks like a nine-foot man, but it seems that a gust of wind can blow it down. When I got closer, I saw that he was pale and his eyes were blank.

Fang Yingwu said jokingly: "How have you been these days? Huan fat swallow thin, happy to think about it? ”

Fang Yingshi couldn't help but tears in his eyes, "Brother Qiu, now that I see the white woman's body, I want to vomit!" I just want you."

This sentence made Fang Yingwu feel frightened, and secretly walked away a few steps.

"I just want you to take me away!" Fang Yingshi pleaded from the bottom of his heart.

Fang Yingwu sighed: "I won't tell you, I will be assigned to the western border in two days, and I wanted to take you with me." But looking at your current situation, you are really not suitable for the road, otherwise you will die. ”

Fang Yingshi wanted to cry without tears, "Could it be that Brother Qiu abandoned me here and watched me run out of oil and dry up?" ”

Fang Yingwu reluctantly said his thoughts, "The most important thing is that my father is alone now, and he is also the master of Hanlin, and it is not good to say that there is no one waiting before and after the saddle."

It would be too unfilial for me to be a son and have to be served. So I thought, you should stay in Jingshi to cultivate your body, and then listen to my father's side! ”

"Thank you Brother Qiu for your understanding and leniency!"

One afternoon before leaving, Fang Yingwu went to visit Liu Ji, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and this visit had several meanings.

First, in order to continue to maintain a good relationship, this cabinet minister, who has been strong from the Chenghua Dynasty to the Hongzhi period, may have to deal with it in the future.

The second is to show that he has fulfilled his promise and try his best to help him redeem the bad image of being a corpse in the public opinion circles, ignoring state affairs, and being selfish and cowardly.

In the afternoon, Scholar Liu was indeed at home - it seemed that the habit of leaving early at noon was already unchangeable for him. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Chenghua Tianzi takes the lead in laziness, and the ministers below will follow suit.

However, Scholar Liu's face was not good-looking, and after seeing Fang Yingwu, it was even more unsightly. The face that originally looked fair was almost black under the eyes and was about to drip ink.

Liu Mian is also a dignified scholar of the dynasty, and he is still in the mood to receive him in this situation, which flatters Fang Yingwu.

He asked Liu Ji cautiously: "The elder of the pavilion has a worried face, I don't know why he came?" ”

Liu Ji said angrily: "When I went to court, I heard a discussion that Liu Ji was taking advantage of the danger of others to blackmail, and at the same time did not forget to ask for praise and poetry, so as to deliberately elevate his own identity, so his behavior is contemptible!"

Tell me yourself, where did the old man take advantage of the danger and the fire to strike? Has the old man ever forced you? Didn't the old man help you? ”

Fang Yingwu could see that Liu Mian, who had always been in control of everything and never angry, was really angry. has worked hard to do good things, but Zuihou has been burned by everyone, who can hold back and not be angry?

He thought for a moment before replying: "Ge Lao is kind, and I am grateful for my late life. ”

"Others say that you did something against your will in order to save your father, such as climbing the old man, a scholar, which is excusable and commendable.

But the same thing is the old man, here, it has become a reputation for selling fame and reputation, and Dong Shi is effective! What a reason! Is there any reason for this! ”

Once you drop it, it's hard to pick it up. Fang Yingwu couldn't persuade Liu Mian anything, so he could only reply very sincerely: "Go your own way, let others say go!" ”

Liu Mian's eyes lit up, "This statement has a deep meaning, encourage each other!" ”

Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly, looking at Liu Mian's life in the history books, it is really a life of "going your own way, whatever others say". (To be continued.) )
