Chapter 540: Karma (Part II)
"The little maid ran in: ...... : Young Master, Second Young Master, there is a Young Master Fang, who said that he was your friend and wanted to see you......"
Surname Fang, his own friend?
He only knew Fang Ji with the surname Fang, but Fang Ji was the cousin of his sister-in-law, if he wanted to see him, he had to say to the messenger at the gate, and his own little servant led him in......
Xu Siyu couldn't help but be a little confused, and saw that Brother Jin was sleeping very soundly, so he explained a few words to Ah Jin and went to the flower hall where the guests were entertained.
Seeing Fang Ji's familiar figure, he couldn't help but smile: "Brother Fang, what's wrong?" You reported that it was my friend, and I still guessed half of it........." said, a smile froze on his face, "Brother Fang, what happened ...... you?"
Fang Ji's expression was solemn, and he didn't smile when he saw Xu Siyu.
Seeing Xu Siyu ask him, he pulled Xu Siyu to the corner with a solemn expression, and said in a low voice: "Liu Shaoyan was detained by the people of Yin Tianfu......"
Liu Shaoyan is one of the writers of this book of 10,000 words.
Xu Siyu was shocked, and faintly felt that this was a matter of reason.
"When is it ......" he said in a low voice, "Brother Fang came to me, but what do you want me to ......do?"
Crisp and neat.
Fang Ji's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he felt that now was not the time to talk about these things, so he calmed his mood and said, "I don't have any acquaintances in Yanjing, can you help me inquire, what is Liu Shaoyan's crime?" Bitter people, ...... evidence"
Xu Siyu did not hesitate, and said, "Brother Fang is waiting for me here, and he also walked to Mitsui Hutong to sit and ......."
Fang Ji thought for a while and said, "I'll wait for you in Chunxi Tower!" I don't know what the situation is now, so as not to alarm the elders and make them worry. Xu Siyu saw his breezy appearance, and thought of his friendship with him these days, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Fang, there is a saying that you like to listen to me, and if you don't like to listen to me, you have to ......talk about it."
Fang Ji was stunned.
In his impression, Xu Siyu was not only polite, but also cautious in his words and deeds...... I didn't expect to say something like this all of a sudden.
"I'm not one of those small-bellied people. ......," he laughed, "if there's something to say!" When you're done, go and do something for me......"
Xu Siyu had a slight smile in his eyes.
He likes to deal with people like Fang Ji.
"I think I'd better talk to my elders about this......" he whispered, "who doesn't do something foolish in this life." I believe that if Shuntianfu detains Liu Shaoyan, he must be bitter and the evidence will be made together. Brother Fang is still a good ...... to plan ahead."
Fang Ji is a smart person, and his complexion changed when he heard the words: "You mean ........."
"Although the emperor wants to dispose of Li Zhong, it is one thing to dispose of Li Zhong, and it is another thing to be forced to dispose of Li Zhong......" Xu Siyu said pointedly, "I remember that at the beginning of the founding of the country", the students who participated in the Spring Festival had written a book of 10,000 words for the corruption case of Li Rui, the hero of the founding of the country and the scholar Li Rui. In the end, although Li Rui was beheaded. Some of the students who can participate in the Jinyan are banned from participating in the imperial examination for life, and some are banned from the examination for three years........."
Without waiting for Xu Siyu's words to speak, Fang Ji was already in a cold sweat.
He bowed to Xu Siyu and bowed.
"Great grace is not thankful......," Fang Ji interrupted Xu Si's words, "I'll go to Liu Shilang." Brother Shaoyan also asked the younger brother to help him run around. Either way, we can't just leave it alone......"
Xu Si said: "I'll go to Yin Tianfu." Notify the eldest brother as soon as there is news. Then let stay. Letter to Eleven Niang" said that he and Fang Ji went out to eat. Only then did he and Fang Ji go out.
Shi Niang didn't care too much when she got the news, as soon as Xu Siyu was so big, it was normal to have her own social networking; Second, Fang Ji was quite famous in Jiangnan, and Wen was able to associate with him and meet some friends through him, which would be of great benefit to Xu Siyu in the future.
She just called Wen Zhu over: "If the second young master is short of money, you can come to me to fulcrum some silver......"
Wen Zhu hurriedly said: "The second young master doesn't have much money on weekdays. The silver has been used for ......"
Eleven Niang didn't say much to her, and turned to look at Brother Jin'er.
Brother Jin just woke up and sat by the kang to eat apples. Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, she opened her arms and asked her mother to hug her.
Eleven Niang hugged him, "Feed him apples and talk to him as usual:"...... My mother is not here, what are you doing? Did you take a nap today? Have you had dinner? This apple was given to your aunt, the current queen. It is said to be the tribute mouth on the Shandong side. Your seventh aunt married to a place called Gao Qing in Shandong. When you're older, go there and ........."
Brother Jin tilted his head and looked at Shi Niang with bright eyes, as if he was wondering what his mother was talking about, Shi Niang sighed and touched Brother Jin's head in frustration: "You are almost one and a half years old, and I talk to you every day, why don't you answer Mother ......"
Over there, Xu Siyu traveled for two days before returning to Fang Ji's words.
"What did Liu Shilang say...... he asked Fang Ji about the situation first.
"I don't know yet." It may be that the initial shock has passed, and Fang Ji's demeanor is still calm. He smiled and said, "Liu Shibo said, "Since the emperor has this heart, there must be someone who will be unlucky." But you can't overdo it. Let me prepare for the scientific examination with peace of mind, and he will help me with other things......" He added, "I have also thought about it carefully in the past few days." I don't care if I can't participate in the Spring Festival. It just made Jiaci sad......... "Speaking of this," his eyes darkened, "and uncle." was originally an idle cloud and a crane-like character, if it weren't for his father who offended and ridiculed the powerful and resigned and returned home, how could he have traveled thousands of miles and suffered from that case. I was expecting me to be nominated for the gold list, so that my uncle could unload the burden of the family, return to Huzhou, study and cultivate, and live the .........days of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan"
Xu Siyu was stunned: "Is the eldest brother talking about the father-in-law of the sister-in-law?" Fang Ji nodded, his face ashamed: "My uncle has always hoped that I could be admitted to the Jinshi, but I am afraid that my career will be restricted, and I have been playing with life." My father and uncle kept their eyes open, "Let me do whatever I want...... If I am not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for life this time, my father and uncle don't know how disappointed ......, although the second brother is young, he is not as good as I was when I was young, "I don't know if he will be able to support the door when the .........time comes" He muttered, his tone was a little stunned, but he quickly cheered up again, and said with a smile, "Forget it" Don't talk about these things. Since you are here, Brother Shaoyan's affairs must be a little eyebrow-raising. What the hell is going on......
Xu Siyu hurriedly restrained his mood and said, "Brother Liu was arrested for the crime of forcibly occupying the people's daughters. The bitter lord and the physical evidence are all ......"
Fang Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Speaking of which, Brother Shaoyan only has this one problem, but I didn't expect it to become the handle of others......"
Xu Siyu listened, secretly angry.
Maybe it was Liu Shilang's rush that played a role, or maybe the emperor felt that it was enough to catch those few people who could find flaws in their moral character, and on March 18, Fang Ji entered the scene smoothly, so that Xu Siyu and Xu Siqin, who came to see him off, were relieved.
The two went to Mitsui Hutong.
Fang Shi knew, and the two queens recited "Amitabha ......", and then went to the Buddha Hall to offer the Bodhisattva a pillar of incense, and sighed: "I hope that this time the eldest brother can live up to expectations." In this way, "Daddy can also go back to Huzhou." Shaanxi is really not a place for people......"
Xu Siqin was a little worried.
Fang Shi was shocked to realize that he had lost his words.
His father-in-law is also an official in Shaanxi, and he is also happy.
As if remedy, she smiled and said: "Xianggong doesn't know our people in Jiangnan, but if you have a little family background, you can pass the Jinshi exam, and then go out to be an official for a few years, even if you have an explanation to your ancestors......"
Xu Siqin heard it for the first time. smiled: "But there are many people from Jiangnan in the court......
Fang Shi smiled silently.
Xu Siyu thought of the Fang family's dowry of 20,000 taels, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that most of them are from poor backgrounds......
Fang felt that this was a bit too absolute, and said with a smile: "It's not all. It's just that my mother's boat people love comfort, that's why it's like this. I felt that this was not a good topic, so I asked Xu Siyu: "I have hired a new master from Yanjing, and the sauce and pork elbow are well done." Second uncle, why don't you stay for lunch......"
Xu Siyu thought that it would be okay for him to go back, so he responded with a smile.
went out early and returned late, mixed in Mitsui Hutong for three days, and went to pick up Fang Ji in the evening.
"Brother Fang, what's the topic today?" , Xu Siyu took the test basket in Fang Ji's hand.
Fang Ji's eyes were blazing: "The Analects are "the way of the country", and its words are enough to believe, two sentences; The mean is "everything is prepared, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted, two sentences; Mencius is "everyone has a heart that can't bear people, two sighs, and the title of the poem is "After the fog, the south looks at the remaining snow,." "Oh......" Xu Siyu was very interested, "How did Brother Fang answer ......?"
Xu Siqin saw that Fang Ji looked tired, and hurriedly said: "Let's talk about these later, let's take back the blame for eating first, and then you can talk about it at night after eating......
The two looked at each other and smiled, and boarded the bus to Mitsui Hutong. Sure enough, they talked about it all night. Fang Ji knew that Xu Siyu was going to collect the exam papers, "volunteered to help him, Xu Siyu was worried about this matter, and when he heard this, he was naturally out of expectation, and the two discussed for a long time, "It was decided that Fang Ji would be responsible for the top three papers in the palace examination, and Xu Siyu would be responsible for the top ten papers in the examination." On the day of the release, the two went early. Although there were a lot of people, Xu Siyu still saw the name of Fang Ji at a glance - he was ranked first, the position of Huiyuan.
He shouted Fang Ji excitedly, and Fang Yi stood there with a somewhat dull expression, as if he couldn't believe it, and after a while, he happily grabbed Xu Siyu's shoulder: "Let's go, let's go to Chunxi Tower for a drink." If you don't get drunk today, I'll treat you......"
Xu Siyu was also very happy and nodded again and again.
Xu Siqin pulled the two of them: "You wait, you wait." I remember that the fifth brother-in-law of the fourth aunt also participated in the imperial examination this year, named Qian Ming, let's find his name, so we can go and report the good news to the fourth aunt......"
Xu Siyu thought about it at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Fang Ji was in good spirits at the moment, and everything was pleasing to the eye, so he immediately instructed Xu Siyu: "You look for these emperor lists, I look for a few here, and my brother-in-law looks for a few over there." Hurry up and read the list, so I can go drinking......"
The two of them responded in succession, squeezed around in the crowd, and finally found Qian Ming's name in a memorable place.
"Yichun Qian Ming. The three hundred and thirty-second ...... "Fang Ji said in a loud voice, "It should be the person you said." Looking at this ranking, most of them are Tongjinshi.
Xu Siqin and Fang Siyu couldn't help but look at each other: "Then, are we going to report the ......news?"
Fang Ji pulled the two of them: "What is there to do with the Jinshi to report the good news." Weigh them as if they don't know good sons. Let's drink and go to ......."
