In this era, many scholars (especially the wealthy) were happy to travel with each other, and it was common to visit each other. After today, Fang Yingwu finally realized that after his fame gradually increased, he might bring some changes to his life.

Although it is only Xiaohe who is showing his sharp corners now, he is not a famous party, but should he also prepare in advance? At least if Hong Gongzi visits again, if he is courteous and thoughtful, he can't turn him away, and he doesn't really want to be a hermit.

Seeing off the confused Sister Lan, Fang Yingwu walked back and forth in the courtyard a few times, remembered his own situation again, and sighed. The house is a very ordinary broken house in a mountain village, and the furniture inside is a broken bed, a broken table, and a broken cabinet, and there is no trace of elegance, which is very unfavorable to the image packaging.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu pulled out his legs to find the second uncle. took out a silver bean given to him by the little lady of the Wang family, stuffed it into the second uncle's hand, and begged: "Please ask the second uncle to call the villagers and help me build a pavilion, and this silver bean will be regarded as a reward." ”

"What kind of pavilion do you make?" The second uncle said strangely.

Fang Yingwu replied: "This is a scholar's business, and I can't tell it for a while, so the second uncle just does it." ”

"Uh-oh." The second uncle was ashamed and didn't dare to continue to doubt, "You say how to make it, I will let the juniors buy and sell the strength." ”

"It is best to find a place with spring water on the hill behind the village, and if there is no spring, it is better to find a place deep in the woods. The sooner the better, the shape does not have to be clever, just have a style. ”

This time is not the busiest period for farm work, I heard that the little minister needs help, the village strong laborers together to make efforts, just three days in the village on the mountain behind the village to set up a simple pavilion.

Because there was no spring, the pavilion had to be built in a secluded wood. It was rudimentary, and it was built with four pillars after a few trees were cut down on the spot. The pavilion is not big, but it can accommodate five or six people to sit around.

Fang Yingwu was quite satisfied after reading it, and couldn't ask for more. Besides, simplicity and nature have a simple and natural taste, which is better than the broken house of one's own house with a little bit of "elegance", and it can be regarded as exquisite for hospitality.

zuihou wrote a pair on the pillar of the pavilion, which is the two sentences that he had read to Hong Gongzi and others a few days ago, "The Burrow is a leather scoop Yan Zizhi, and the remnants are broken Jian Yehou Shu".

Fang Yingwu took out another small silver bean and collected all the wild tea in the village. If a distinguished guest comes, how can there be no tea? There is no good tea, so I have to use wild tea in the mountains to make fun.

At this point, it is considered to be ready, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and then there are guests to come, you can deal with it.

Unfortunately, there was no news of the imaginary visitor. Fang Yingwu waited from summer to autumn while studying, and no one came to visit him again.

The small pavilion he named Fang Ting was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the wild tea at home was about to be put into old tea, and he was confused, could it be that he was too angry when he refused to see people last time?

I clearly remember that the more those mountain and forest masters refused to see people in the historical materials, the more sought after they became, how did they come to their own place, and there was no sign of this at all? The ideal of life should be "self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world", not "the old clouds of the frost festival".

But soon, Fang Yingwu didn't have the heart to continue to be confused. Because the county has issued an announcement, the county examination is scheduled to be held a month later, that is, on August 23, and registration will begin.

The county examination is the first level of the three primary school examinations for Xiucai, and after seeing this list, the schoolchildren in the county who are consciously successful in their studies have begun to mobilize. Fang Yingwu was no exception, he couldn't take care of anything else, and hurriedly began to prepare.

First of all, before going to the county government to sign up, you must look for a guarantor. In this era, the qualifications for guarantors are quite relaxed, and students, captains, and government-run social school teachers can all be guarantors. Unlike later, the guarantor had to ask the county students to do it, and it became a way for the students to make a fortune.

Fang Yingwu found Mr. Wang, a teacher of Huaxi Social School, and Li Changfang to cooperate with him to protect his innocence, not impersonation, substitution, mourning, or pseudonym, and not after advocating excellent soap.

In the second step, Fang Yingwu took the guarantee and went to the county office to sign up. I filled out the resumes of the last three generations on the spot, and received ten pages of special test papers and scratch papers for the exam, of course, according to the rules, I had to pay the regular money to the gift room.

When he came out of the county office, it was already noon, Fang Yingwu weighed his pocket, and decided to go back to the village to eat instead of solving lunch in the county. But he was very thirsty at this time, and happened to see a tea shop at the west gate, so he went to ask for two bowls of tea.

At the end of July, it was already the end of summer, it was not so hot, and it was quite cool in the tea shop. Fang Yingwu drank a few sips of tea, and there was a table of two people in the corner of the tea shop, both dressed as scholars, smiling and talking about something.

Fang Yingwu has lived in a mountain village for a long time, and all kinds of news are very closed, this time he saw two scholars discussing things, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and it is also haode to increase his knowledge.

After listening to it for a while, I heard them talking about the township test in this province in August, and speaking of which, this year's Chun'an County test and Zhejiang township test are very close to each other, which is very special.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu suddenly realized that since the township test was going to be held, the most elite group of people in the county school naturally went to the provincial capital Hangzhou Mansion. Do Hong Gongzi and the other two also have to participate in the township test? That's why I disappeared for two months and didn't see anyone coming.

After drinking tea, Fang Yingwu was about to leave, but he saw a scholar in a wide robe and big sleeves rushing into the tea shop, shouting to the two scholars in the corner: "There is a big thing, there is a big thing!" ”

This attracted Fang Yingwu's attention, and he stopped his movements and looked curiously at the new scholar. Hearing him walk over and shout: "The news I heard just now is that the court's ministers are in good office!" ”

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the tea shop. Whether it was the two scholars, or the old man who sold tea and the little guy who served tea, they all showed a shocking expression.

This merchant minister is not a talented minister who is called by the people, there is only one merchant minister in the court, that is, the head of the court.

This person is definitely known to women and children in Chun'an County, from the squire to the village husband and village woman, everyone knows and everyone knows, and he is the greatest pride of the entire Chun'an County.

In the imperial examination, Shang Ge Lao obtained the supreme achievement of understanding the Yuan, the Hui Yuan, the Champion Yuan and the first one, and was the only official record of the three yuan in this dynasty (the three yuan deleted by Emperor Taizongwen is not counted). In terms of meritorious deeds, the elder Shang Ge has been in the cabinet for 18 years, and now he is the first assistant and a very popular minister.

Sanyuan and the first plus are extremely human ministers, so the life achievements of the old Shangge are simply perfect, and he is the idol of all the scholars in the county, and the elders in the county are even more eloquent and firmly believe that he is the star of the heavenly music and firmly believes.

The scholar who broke in continued: "In February this year, the emperor set up the West Factory, reused the eunuch Wang Zhi, and wantonly arrested the ministers. At that time, the emperor adopted the advice and abolished the West Factory, but in June, the emperor once again listened to the slander and reopened the West Factory. Immediately, the Shang Minister was angry and begged for bones, and the court had approved it! ”

"Eunuchs are hateful!" Some scholars shouted angrily.

Fang Yingwu fell into a trance, this was the first real historical event he had heard since he crossed over, and he naturally felt a lot of emotion in his heart. During this time, he almost forgot his identity as a traverser, and it was only when he heard this familiar event that he regained the feeling of looking down on history.

If it is the popular era of Zhengde, Jiajing, and Wanli, he can memorize all kinds of characters and events, but for the black materials of the Chenghua Dynasty, the degree of involvement is far behind.

For example, in this business and Zhishi incident, he knew that there was such a thing, and probably remembered that it was in the middle of Chenghua, but the specific month was a little vague. So I was still a little surprised when I suddenly heard Shang Zhishi.

After the initial surprise passed, Fang Yingwu regained his composure, dropped the copper plate to leave, and heard those scholars still angrily scolding the eunuch Wang Zhi, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but shake his head, and said to them: "Your ideas are simply childish and ridiculous!" ”

The people were laughed at in vain, and all of them were displeased, and one of them asked, "Who is under the feet?" What's the idea? ”

Fang Yingwu said lightly: "Fang Yingwu in Xiahuaxi!" I think that Wang Zhi is arrogant, but he is just an inner court arrest, but can he force the prime minister away? There are three people in the cabinet, and the remaining two are all from the current Shangdong Palace, only Shang Xianggong, the first assistant, is an old minister of the former dynasty, who will leave if he doesn't leave? The water is deep in here! ”

Those scholars were stunned when they heard this, but they didn't expect that in a random street tea shop, they would meet a talented person with outstanding knowledge. Even if Chun'an County is a group of imperial examination deaths, this is too exaggerated.

Huaxi Fangying? The name seemed to have been heard, and the scholar in it said, "I remember who you are!" ”

Fang Yingwu, who was about to leave, saw that his name could be known, and he was slightly proud in his heart, and subconsciously slowed down, wanting to hear what they had to say. It seems that in the cultural circle, I have been talked about myself.

"You're the ragged blue-robed Fang Yingwu!" The scholar continued.

Fang Yingwu's face turned dark, and he almost tripped over the threshold. The four words of ragged green robe come from the first poem he published, but what is the truth! He has published several poems before and after, with so many beautiful words, why did others just put on the four words of ragged green robe?

On the way home, Fang Yingwu sighed in his heart, it seems that he must copy a superb poem that shocks the world in the future, so as to cover the name of the ragged green robe.

Thinking of the news of the business minister, Fang Yingwu had a little fantasy. Shang Ge Lao will inevitably go home to recuperate, if he can hug this thigh, it will be good. This is a veteran minister who has been in the cabinet for 18 years, although he has become a minister, but there must be a lot of protégés and former officials or something
