Chapter 338: Direction
This so-called Fang Bonian, the first female head of the Great Zhou Dynasty, heard about it before she arrived in Huizhou.
On the way from Shendu to Huizhou, Fang Bonian flipped through the relevant files of the students who participated in the township examination.
In addition to the students of Ziyang Academy and Hui Fourth Academy, which are also famous in Shendu, the most eye-catching of them is this female case leader.
As an old man of the imperial court, he also participated in the court meeting of the women's national examination system, and he also participated in the formulation of the rule that the Chinese test and the martial arts test must be taken at the same time.
But I never thought that after so many years of silence, this system would be exploited by a little woman far away in Huizhou.
It's ridiculous.
The old man's voice was not loud, but Princess Jinyang and Governor Song Mingxuan, who were sitting next to Fang Bonian, heard these words clearly.
The surroundings fell silent.
Song Mingxuan was a little nervous, and said with a smile, "Lord Fang, the Xiuning County Commander, a subordinate of Xia Guan, tried his best to organize this woman when she signed up to participate...... However, at that time, this woman kept saying that there were provisions in the laws of the Great Zhou, and the masters of Tianquan Academy and Taiping Mountain House accepted this woman as a disciple at the same time......"
"Since you've already participated, that's it," Fang Bonian raised his hand to interrupt Song Mingxuan's words.
"I didn't expect this woman to really enter the township test, and the literary test is just that, is everything in accordance with the rules during the martial arts test?"
"Of course," Song Mingxuan himself was actually puzzled by this, but looking at Fang Bonian's suspicious eyes, he still had to cover for the woman.
"It's all a competition in full view." He said categorically.
When he heard that this woman had won the first place in the martial arts test, Song Mingxuan regretted his previous move of letting this woman enter the literary test.
But at this point, he had no choice but to stick to his previous statement.
Fortunately, no matter what happened in the township test, he couldn't find his head.
The officials who came from Shendu next to him were humane, "I actually let a woman take the head of the case, and the county test in Huizhou has been getting worse and worse recently." ”
Song Mingxuan's hand clenched under the case.
"You can't say that," Fang Bonian said leisurely, "Huizhou's literary style is one of the best in the country, but Huizhou students have always been good at literary examinations. ”
Fang Bonian smiled and said, "It's just that there was a character like Duan Ergongzi two years ago, which made everyone think that Huizhou students were also very good in the martial arts test. ”
"Indeed," the man nodded, "Duan Shangshu was only the head of the essay examination back then. ”
"Exactly," Fang Bonian smiled and stopped to take a sip of wine, then looked at the table next to the plum tree in the courtyard in the distance.
Looking at the clothes, I could see that there was a woman sitting in it, but when they looked around in the hall, the woman did not look up.
She sat there and occasionally said a few words to the side, and she didn't seem to hide anything, but she was very comfortable on this occasion.
"My lord, if you want to meet, let the lower officials ask these heads of the case?" An official leaned over and asked.
"No need," Fang Bonian picked up his wine glass and glanced at Princess Jinyang, who was pouring herself a drink under the service of the female official, who was ignoring the conversation here, "They are the protagonists of this banquet, and Her Royal Highness the princess just said that everyone should eat something first, so don't disturb them." ”
By the plum tree, Zhu Luan picked up the wine glass, as if she wanted to clink glasses with the people around her, and Duan Lizheng, who was sitting on the side, blocked half of her body.
She knew someone was watching her.
Zhu Luan was not surprised, and she didn't plan to hide it until just now, after all, she was alone in the all-man banquet, and she couldn't hide it.
Unless a woman dresses up as a man.
But the ancients were not blind.
What's more, there are still places where there are many cultivators.
"Lord Fang is watching here, should we go up and have a toast?" At this time, Hong Shan's voice sounded.
"Are you stupid? At this time, Wu Zhao stepped forward, and the others thought you could cling to it! Situ Gaoyi said disdainfully, "When did the people of Doosan Academy become so unambitious?" ”
"You!" Rao is Hongshan and Situ Gaoyi have a deep friendship, and they are also annoyed when they hear such words, "I'm a martial artist, what are you talking about!" It's just a matter of etiquette! ”
"In vain, you are still scholars," Hong Shan glared at Situ Gaoyi, "Don't you even understand the etiquette of greeting?" ”
"Okay, okay," Li Wenyao waved his hand in the middle, "If someone goes up to toast later, it will ...... if you go up again."
Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly there was a commotion in the hall. It turned out that Fang Bonian left his seat and walked down to talk to the students in the hall.
The old man stopped at each table, commented on the dishes, patted the students on the shoulders from time to time to encourage, and was polite and amiable, the students in the hall were excited, and the older students even had tears in their eyes.
Not only in the hall, but also in the courtyard, the atmosphere of the students crowded in the courtyard was mobilized.
"Lord Fang is really approachable", "This is a generation of ministers!" The students chattered, and the students in the courtyard only hated that they hadn't arrived early to grab a seat in the hall.
Zhu Luan hid his figure behind Duan Lizheng, and looked over Duan Lizheng's shoulder.
Fang Bonian, who was leaning over to talk cordially with a table of students from Ziyang Academy, suddenly raised his head, and the two collided their eyes.
Suddenly there was a gust of wind in the garden, and the lights flickered.
"Isn't it going to rain this weather?" The student from Ziyang Academy who was sitting on the side said, "Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Mu and Senior Brother Duan are all sitting in the courtyard, are they okay?" ”
"Lord Fang, have you seen that? The head of our academy is sitting there......" continued, the student who had just spoken to Fang Bonian. Fang Bonian had a smile on his face, but he didn't reply immediately.
"Lord Fang? Lord Fang? The student asked suspiciously.
"Ah, I saw it," Fang Bonian continued to smile kindly, "Second Prince Duan has often seen him in the Divine Capital before. ”
"Yes," the student continued to say with pride, "Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Mu will also go to the Divine Capital soon," he smiled to himself, "After all, they are different from us. ”
"You can't say that," Fang Bonian stood up, like an elder who was kind and majestic, "As long as you can enter the examination, all the monarchs can go to the Divine Capital, and young people can't be arrogant." ”
With that, he took his glass and seemed to want to return to his seat, but halfway through, he walked back into the courtyard.
The students looked at him with reverence all the way, but Fang Bonian didn't stop at the other tables.
After walking ten steps away from the plum tree, Fang Bonian stopped again, talked with the students at the other tables as if unintentionally, and finally looked up at the table where Zhu Luan and they were.
I want to talk about "Yingluan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
