67 If you are hit, you will have a high branch to climb
The days were spent in the gossip of a few people with broken mouths, until a few days later, the subordinates from Nanjing reported to the Pegasus overnight that Brother Zhili, who supported the future faΓ§ade of Fangfu, suddenly came out of the way in this autumn exam among thousands of outstanding candidates from all over the country. Although he was not the top of the high school, he was also on the list, among the best, and the Fang Mansion was boiling all of a sudden.
Fang Jinglan, who was "working" outside, also hurried back, he was not so happy that he wanted to get carried away and celebrate with everyone, but stopped the Li family, who wanted to prepare for the general celebration, and wanted to order someone to prepare the white horse color ball.
With the approval of Mrs. Fang, Fang Jinglan waved his hand very majestically, avoiding all the congratulations, just setting up a few tables of feasts in his own house, and then closing the door for a while.
Lee, who wanted to show his stepmother's love greatly, was very depressed.
Fang Jinglan's thoughts, Ruqing can guess a few points, although he feels that this cheap daddy has almost zero IQ in dealing with things in the inner house, but in major matters, he is a long-term vision, a transparent mind, and an unusually high pole with insight into the current situation.
After two days, Zhili Rong returned to Fangfu, and the scene did not need to be detailed, only that the people who came to give gifts almost broke the threshold of Fangfu.
Although Fang Jinglan wanted to celebrate in a low-key manner, Fang Jinglan's colleagues who had won the letter outside, relatives and friends who had made good friends with the Fang family, and relatives of the Fang family, all flocked into the Fang Mansion.
This excitement did not affect all the order in the inner house, the girls and brothers continued to go to class, but they were all in their hearts, listening to Fang Chengjia's words, even the governor of Shandong brought his wife and daughter to the door to send a congratulatory gift, and the lively scene outside can no longer be described in words. Everyone was happy when they heard it, Rumei was excited, Ruqing was also happy, Rushan was very ladylike, less than nine years old, and she had reached the point of not showing her teeth when she smiled. Only Zhiyi's face was flat, and he couldn't see his joy and anger, while Zhilian was a little depressed.

After finally sending the guests away, Li rubbed his sour face and smiled at the old lady: "The daughter-in-law has been married into the Fang Mansion for so many years, and it is the first time she has encountered this scene, fortunately, the old lady supports her, otherwise the daughter-in-law will definitely be clumsy and unable to deal with it." β
The old lady smiled faintly, "If the children are all angry, you will be busy in the future." However, you are also good, you don't have to be presumptuous, everything has a first time. Just wait until you get used to it. β
Li nodded, accompanied by a smile, "No, as long as the children are angry, I, as a mother, why be tired?" Although the daughter-in-law is tired, she is really happy in her heart, Zhili is such a competitive child, I believe that my sister knows underground and can also look at it. "What Li said was from her heart, anyway, she only had one daughter under her knees, and Zhili had no conflict of interest with her, and this time she received guests, which can be regarded as a full effort.
The old lady's eyes flashed slightly, "Yes, your sister knows the ground, and she can also look at it, and the three children are so angry." β
Li's face froze, but soon returned to normal, "No, don't talk about etiquette, the real girl is also angry." Believing in knowledge is not something in the pool. It's a pity that some clowns just don't understand, and they always like to compete for a high level without trying their best, but they don't know that it's completely an egg touching a stone. β
Everyone present heard the meaning of Li's words, and swept their eyes to the two brothers and sisters who knew Lian Rushan.
Rushan was silent on his face, but he was annoyed and abnormal in his heart, and Zhilian lowered his head, and bitterness flashed in his heart.
Zhili came back from Nanjing, Li was so busy that he almost lost his breath, but Zhang said that he couldn't afford to be sick and had been nesting in Yiqingxuan, and there were reliable sources that Zhang's was not angina, but had pink eye.
Of course, because it was just gossip, the masters of the Fang family didn't know about it. It's just Ruqing's own imagination.
Li Shi didn't like to accompany the smiling face to the sore cheeks during the day, and kept talking about the origin, identity, and official position of today's guests, everyone listened to it with fascination, and as he spoke, Li suddenly high-fived, his face turned pale, and his eyes narrowed, "It's really a strange thing, although Zhili is on the list this time, but it's just a lift, can you make such a big move for everyone?" Li refers to the people who came to celebrate this time, some of whom Li didn't recognize, and many of them were Fang Jinglan's top bosses, and even the governor of Shandong and the political envoy sent his wife to give a generous gift. Li showed his face in front of many guests, and he didn't think much about it until he was idle, and told the old lady about the identity of these people, and the old lady looked elegant and determined from beginning to end, as if she had expected such a situation, and then realized that things were not quite right.
Indeed, Zhili is considered to be a winner, and from the perspective of modern people, it is just a high score in the college entrance examination.
In ancient times, there was a saying that the examination and the palace examination, but before the township examination, there was a boy test in the Taoist way, and the boy tried to pass the test is a show of talent, so as to have the so-called school learning qualification to enter a higher administrative unit, and on this basis the person is called a student, the knowledge of etiquette is not enough than the top, but it is much more than the bottom, at the age of twelve is already a student, fifteen years old in the person, in many students, pull out is also extremely long face.
Zhili only won the promotion, and he will have to go to Beijing to take the examination in February next year, and it is still a question whether he can pass the examination, but this time so many people came to send congratulatory gifts, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think about it.
Mrs. Fang took the accumulated food tea handed to her by Xia Lin's family, took a few sips, and then said slowly: "What's so strange about this, because of the reason of the prince of Yongning, and the fact that the official department will issue documents at the end of the year, the promotion of the master to the Xuanfu Division is just around the corner, not to mention, the real girl is blessed, so that our family and the Pingyang Hou Mansion are implicated, plus Brother Li'er has been sensible and obedient since he was a child, and he is diligent and diligent, so it is expected that he will pass the exam this time." Besides----" The old lady paused, and looked at Zhiyi, who was almost standing as a statue.
Zhiyi was still the same, with no expression on his face, but when he found the old lady's gaze, his face eased slightly.
The old lady said slowly: "The prince of King Jing runs to Fangfu all day long, and he doesn't have much friendship with our family, but in the eyes of outsiders, he doesn't think like that." β
The old lady deduced from these words, everyone in the room changed color in unison, Zhili looked at Zhiyi in surprise, Zhiyi frowned, Zhilian clenched his fists, I don't know what he was thinking, Rushan's hand hidden in the pink rose sleeve was also clenched tightly, and his expression flashed with an unknown light.
Rumei doesn't seem to be in a state, Ruqing stands quietly next to Rumei as usual, and if you don't pay attention carefully, you will definitely be ignored.
Li suddenly realized, finally understood, and smiled at the old lady: "It's still the old lady who can see through, but the daughter-in-law is a pig's head, but she can't think of this." She looked at Zhiyi again and asked, "It seems that Zhiyi has a great friendship with the prince of Najing, and even Princess Jing sent someone to send a thick gift." β
