In the middle of summer, the river is like a green Luo belt, the mountain is like a jasper hairpin, and a flat boat slowly drives on the Xin'an River. Fang Yingwu, a student of Chun'an County, sat lazily on the bow of the boat, and his mood was exceptionally calm.

Now that the matter in Hangzhou City has been largely settled, after the new governor Wang Shu cut through the chaos with a quick knife, the three major officials were punished, but some went and some stayed.

Because Ning Liang, the former political envoy of Zuobu, was over 60 years old, and the imperial court, out of consideration for the good old ministers, did not issue a border waste, and directly ordered Ning Liang to be a servant and confiscate his family and punish the stolen goods, and the other three generations were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. Although his life and freedom were saved, his reputation was completely ruined, and the family's future was basically hopeless.

Lu Chen, the former right-hand political envoy, was transferred to Guizhou as the acting right-hand political envoy because he concealed his feelings, gave and accepted privately, and caused incidents.

It is said that it was because of the consideration of the stability of the situation that Governor Wang retained Lord Zhu, who had the least fault among the three members. Otherwise, the three major officials of the three major departments of the provincial domain and the two yamen will collectively get out, and the shock will be too great.

Fang Yingwu still didn't go to see Wang Shu, this was to avoid suspicion, so he left Hangzhou after completing the task. Anyway, next year is the year of the township test, and it will be heavy in Hangzhou at that time.

Fang Yingwu secretly pondered that with Wang Shu, a cheap relative, as the governor, maybe there would be an opportunity to cheat, which could be described as the best of both worlds. When Wang Shulai was appointed governor, he did not have this selfish intention.

Although Wang Shu is fair and honest and never favoritism, he can deal with each other anyway. As long as you can get your hands on it, you can slowly find a way to take advantage of loopholes. It's better than being a governor with someone who doesn't matter at all and can't even deal with it

But it was said that at this moment, the ship had entered the territory of Chun'an County, and the wanderer had returned home. Fang Yingwu felt indescribably comfortable in his heart.

The river breeze was blowing, and he forgot all the mundane things that disturbed him for a while. Enjoy the refreshing moment to the fullest. In fact, it is not only psychological, but mainly because the mountains at higher altitudes are cooler

In the blink of an eye, the familiar ferry port came into view, and the boatman respectfully responded to the other party: "Little Xianggong, there is Qingxi Ferry in front." ”

got on the wharf, passed through Sanyuanfang, and came to the south gate of the county. Of course, the so-called South Gate is nothing more than a fence gate.

Fang Yingwu stood at the south gate and thought about it, then went to the southeast of the county. He was going to Xiang Chengxian and Xiang Gongzi's house for one night. When he arrived at the county seat this time, Fang Yingwu planned to visit the county magistrate and the old one first, and then go back to Huaxi, so he had to find a place to spend the night first.

When he was in Chun'an, Fang Yingwu was the best friend of Jinxi Hongsong and Xiang Chengxian from the east of the county, and he also lived in Xiang's house a few times, so he naturally went to Xiang's house this time.

However, when he arrived at the door of Xiang's house, he saw that under the guard of General Tie, the gate was closed. There was a lot of dust on the front steps. It seems like no one has lived in a long time.

I inquired about the neighbors, and it turned out that the eldest son had already been captured by his family and returned to his hometown in Jinxi and went to study behind closed doors, so the house in the county seat was empty. Don't talk about Xiang Chengxian. Hong Song, who often goes in and out with Xiang Chengxian, also went back to Jinxi to study.

These two friends are not in the county seat, and there are no hostels in the small mountainous county, and Fang Yingwu, the traverser, has no habit of staying at a stranger's house. So there is no place to stay tonight.

Zuihou had no choice but to go around to the temple of the old man Heqi outside the West Gate, and borrowed a small room from the temple. Pack your own luggage. Fang Yingwu went to the county government in the city.

For this route, Fang Yingwu can be said to be very familiar. At the beginning, I took several exams and went to the county government several times. All passed by this road. This time he returned to his hometown and re-walked this road, and Fang Yingwu found an obvious change.

In his memory, there are four Jinshi arches outside the west gate, showing the world the prosperity of humanity in the townships in the west of the county. One of them is still from the Hu family on his biological mother's side, and it seems to be his grandfather's brother, whose name is Hu Gongchen.

But at this moment, Fang Yingwu stood on the avenue outside the West Gate, and found that the memorial arch had become five, one more than in his memory. And this new torii is taller and wider than the previous four. Approaching, there are several big characters clearly visible on the new archway - Xie Yuan Jinshi Fang.

This is clearly a new torii erected for my father! Fang Yingwu stood under the archway, a sense of pride and a little fantasy swelled in his heart. If he can be on the emperor's list one day, will there be another "Father and Son Jinshi Workshop", which will be studied and admired by future generations hundreds of years later?

Almost all the officials in the county government recognized Fang Yingwu, a figure who was still fresh in their memory, so no one stopped him. Fang Yingwu was able to bypass the lobby from the gate and the instrument gate without hindrance, and walked to the door of the courtyard in the back hall.

Today is not the day of the trial, Wang Zhixian is handling official business in the back hall. After Menzi reported it, he led Fang Yingwu in.

Wang Guiwang County Zun was the third class jinshi in the eleventh year of Chenghua, and was appointed as the magistrate of Chun'an County in that year. By last year, it was the fourteenth year of Chenghua, which was exactly the end of the three-year term. After going to Beijing for an inspection at the end of his term, Mr. Wang continued to serve as the magistrate of Chun'an County, so it is now his second term.

"How is Daddy lately?" Fang Yingwu greeted.

Zaijian arrived at Fang Yingwu, and Wang Zhixian sighed with emotion in his heart. For more than a year, Fang Yingwu, a young man who has not yet entered the officialdom, seems to be far more prosperous than him in the officialdom.

When I was reporting in the capital, I heard the story of Fang Yingwu saving his father; In the Di newspaper, it can be vaguely seen that Fang Yingwu has dedicated his exploits; Not to mention the recent earthquake in the provincial capital, who in Zhejiang is not shocked?

When I first met Fang Yingwu two years ago, he was just a stormy child, and he still needed to pat himself by offering "Yazhai Lying and Listening to Xiao Xiaozhu".

And the Fang Yingwu in front of him seemed to be a completely different person. I heard that the new governor has a close relationship with him, and he can't say that he has to do the other thing he did two years ago

Of course, Wang Dazhi County is not an extremely immoral person, so he will not be able to grovel for this origin. But he really can't put on the stand of his parents' official superiors in terms of mentality, and treats him almost as an equal.

After talking for an hour, Fang Yingwu took the initiative to leave when he saw that the etiquette had been exhausted. In addition, there are no other people worth visiting in the county, and the Shang Xianggong does not live in the county, so he has to choose another time to visit him.

At night, Fang Yingwu stayed in the dilapidated house of the West Temple, just like when he went to the county seat from Huaxi Village to take exams and fight lawsuits.

The next day, Fang Yingwu got up and set foot on the mountain road back to Huaxi. In the afternoon, we first arrived at Xiahuaxi Village, and then passed by Zhonghuaxi Village.

When he entered the Shanghua Creek where his house was located, he saw from a distance that a new archway had been erected at the entrance of the village, although he did not get closer, but Fang Yingwu guessed that this must still be for his father.

The news of Fang Yingwu's return as a celebrity in Huaxi had already reached the village, and a hundred and ten people poured out from the entrance of the village to greet him, including men, women and children. If it weren't for the agricultural season, I was afraid that there would be more people.

There is no other meaning, it is just to watch the excitement, the villagers in the closed mountain village rarely have any entertainment activities, and it is also a pleasure to watch the big people who are said to be officials in the future.

Fang Yingwu didn't expect that his return home would cause such a big disturbance in the same clan, so he could only smile a few times, and said to the leading patriarch Fang Fengshi and Huaxi: "The kid really disturbed the clansmen!" ”

Patriarch Fang smiled and was honored, waved his hand and said, "The little minister said this foreign words, it really seems to be angry!" ”

Fang Yingwu looked at the crowd and didn't find Wang Lan, thinking that it was because he was shy, so he didn't come out to greet him in public.

The crowd hugged Fang Yingwu back to his house, and everything was almost exactly the same as before leaving.

Fang Yingwu opened the wooden door, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw a soft woman standing under the big tree in the courtyard, looking at him excitedly, who was Sister Lan?

Patriarch Fang, who was accompanying him, stretched out his neck, and also saw Sister Lan'er, whose face was flushed because of her excitement, so he coughed heavily with great interest, waved his hand to the crowd, and said, "You guys are scattered!" Don't get in the way of the little minister-in-law talking at home! ”

Seeing the villagers walking away, Fang Yingwu arched his hand at the other party and said, "I have to go and see the clan uncle again." "Don't be in a hurry, you go and rest first." Patriarch Fang said that he also left.

After Fang Yingwu saw Patriarch Fang leave, he closed the door and turned around and walked towards the courtyard. He just walked in front of Sister Lan, and was about to speak, but he heard a "wow", she covered her face and cried bitterly, and the big tears of Douban fell to the ground one by one.

Although Fang Yingwu, who traveled from the twentieth century, was not a lover saint in his previous life, but in this conservative world, he can be regarded as a master of picking girls by virtue of his boldness and good ability to copy a few advantages. Of course, in order to maintain the image of a gentleman, there are still relatively few actual battles.

But in the face of the woman who cried to a mess, he still had no idea, this kind of real test of jishu content, it is not bold and good at plagiarism can be solved.

Fang Yingwu sighed, more than a year ago in Changzhou hastily separated, and then there was no news for a whole year. Although it was a last resort, it did make her aggrieved.

After thinking about it, he had to say very unpretentiously: "Don't cry, aren't I coming back?" It's not really to leave you alone. ”

But to no avail, the beauty continued to cry. Fang Yingwu asked very sincerely, "Sister Lan, how can you stop crying?" ”

The tears continued to hit the ground, Fang Yingwu was very distressed, and took a few steps closer, intending to wipe away the tears on Sister Lan'er's face. Suddenly, he smelled a familiar and unfamiliar body fragrance, which immediately aroused Fang Yingwu's heart.

Fang Yingwu, who was impulsive, subconsciously picked up the body of the slender and moderate woman in front of him, hugged Sister Lan by the waist, and walked towards the house.

Sister Lan'er's crying stopped abruptly, she felt a little rusty about this embrace that had been separated for a year, and she writhed a few times embarrassedly. Whispered: "This is broad daylight"

This method seems to be quite effective, Fang Yingwu thought in surprise, and while kicking the door with his foot, he laughed and said, "Little lady, you keep crying, don't stop." (To be continued......)
