Chapter 199: A Chance Encounter in a Restaurant

The three of them took an ox cart to the Zhu Building near the Liangyuan Bridge, which is the concentration of restaurants, and there are as many as thirty or forty restaurants of various grades.

But almost every restaurant was crowded by the scholars, there was no lunch in the examination room at noon, and most of the candidates were so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, and they went to drink and eat first thing when they left the examination room.

Zhu Lou was also full of guests, but after Fan Ning raised Zhu Yuanfeng's name, the shopkeeper of the restaurant set up a table for them in front of the window on the second floor.

The three of them sat down in front of the table, Fan Ning was already very familiar with Zhu Lou's wine and food, he ordered seven or eight dishes, and asked for two pots of sake, and after a while, two plates of cold dishes and a pot of hot wine were sent first.

Fanning poured a full glass of wine for the three of them, then raised his glass and smiled: "In order to successfully finish the first exam today, we drank this glass of wine!" ”

"It's done!" The three of them raised their glasses and drank them all.

Su Liang hurriedly snatched the wine jug and poured wine for everyone, Fan Ning ate a piece of sauce duck, and asked with a smile, "What is Brother Feng's argument today?" ”

Feng Jing held the wine glass and smiled: "I'm afraid that if I say it, we won't be able to drink properly!" ”

"It's okay, Brother Feng just said!"

Feng Jing had to smile bitterly and said: "My argument is different from many people, I think 'learning' is the key, and it is the argument of this article." ”

Fan Ning and Su Liang clapped their palms and laughed, "Who said we can't drink properly?" ”

Feng Jing was surprised, "Are you the same?" ”

Fanning nodded, "Actually, we discussed this question a month ago, and we both thought that learning was the key to this article. ”

"You actually discussed the imperial examination?" Feng Jing was even more surprised.

Fan Ning said lightly: "We have discussed dozens of questions, this is just one of the questions, 100,000 scholars are betting on the question, I estimate that there should be a lot of bets." ”

"That's just as well."

Feng Jing agreed, and he smiled: "It's ashamed to say it, I won the test at that time." ”

Su Liang was a little puzzled and asked, "Why does Brother Feng think that 'March doesn't know the taste of meat' is the result of the sage's learning, instead of indulging in Shao Le?" ”

Feng Jing smiled slightly, "The sage is to educate everyone, not an essayist, and the Analects is to teach everyone how to learn and be a person, not to describe their own experience, so "Zi Zai Qi Wen Shao" is of course also to educate everyone to learn to forget to sleep and eat, and not know the taste of meat in March." ”

"That's reasonable, I salute Brother Feng with a cup!" Su Liang hurriedly raised his glass to toast.

Feng Jing raised his glass and drank the wine, and smiled again, "Jokes, don't take it too seriously, in fact, there are annotations in the "Historical Records", and the "learning" in this article is the true meaning of the text, I think the real answer to my question is in the "Historical Records". ”

"Well said!"

Fanning gave a thumbs up and praised: "I also know the true meaning of this article because of the annotations in the "Historical Records". ”

The three of them chatted a few more words, and the topic unconsciously turned to Wang Anshi.

Fan Ning talked about the experience of studying in Yinxian County last year, and said that Wang Anshi's reform was difficult, Fan Ning changed the topic and asked with a smile: "There has been no news of him for a year, I don't know how he is doing?" ”

Feng Jing picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Last year, he did a very good job, successfully implemented the green seedling law in Yin County, and solved the problem of the survival of farmers who were not able to catch the green and yellow, Wen Xiangguo specially praised him at the court meeting, and even the officials began to pay attention to him, in fact, it was Wang Anshi's luck." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Fanning asked with an interested smile.

Feng Jing smiled slightly, "In the past two years, the official family has paid special attention to the difficulties of the peasants, and has issued several decrees asking the local officials to help the peasants tide over the difficulties, especially in the disaster year and when the green and yellow are not in success, so Wang Anshi's performance in Yin County is exactly in line with the wishes of the official family." ”

"Isn't the Wang County Order going to be promoted?" Su Liang interjected.

"I really want to be promoted, I heard that Wen Xiangguo has recommended him as the general judge of Shuzhou, just wait for the court of judges, it is estimated that it will be March! Jiefu is about to take up a new position. ”

At this time, a group of scholars came up from the staircase, seven or eight people, not very old, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and the innkeeper hurriedly followed behind.

"Zhang Yanei, there is indeed no vacancy in the restaurant, why don't I share a table for you on the first floor?"

A shrill voice said viciously, "Humph! I'm going to sit on the second floor and drive away all the guests by the window! ”

These words were extremely arrogant, and the restaurant suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked sideways at this group of young scholars.

Su Liang said angrily and in a low voice: "What kind of person is this, talking so arrogantly? ”

"It's Zhang Yaozuo's grandson!"

Fan Ning recognized the young man who was the leader, it turned out to be Zhang Chun, the grandson of Zhang Yaozuo, and he sneered and said: "I haven't seen you for three years, he has a chance now!" ”

Feng Jing also said: "This person is the same as you, he is also taking the boy's test, but he did not participate in the exam, and was directly recommended by the Hongwen Pavilion, which is a special care for the powerful." ”

"That's why the powerful are so arrogant?" Fan Ning glanced at Zhang Chun coldly.

Although the shopkeeper didn't dare to offend Zhang Yaozuo's grandson, it was absolutely impossible to drive him away from the guests, so the shopkeeper held back the anger in his heart and instructed the guys, "Go and clean up the reserved private room of the owner on the third floor and give them use!" ”

Generally, large restaurants will have a special private room for the proprietor to entertain guests, or for VIPs, and it will not be used without special circumstances.

Today, in order to avoid an unpleasant situation, the shopkeeper had to reluctantly let these arrogant Yanai children use the proprietor's reserved room.

Zhang Chun felt embarrassed, and he snorted heavily, "Didn't you say that there is no room?" Why is there again now? You have to give me an explanation, or I'm going to make you look good today. ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but say anymore: "Zhang Yanei, the shop has done its best to you, please don't go too far!" ”

Zhang Chun's backhand was a slap in the face, hitting the shopkeeper in the face, "What the hell are you, dare to talk to me like this!" ”

"Bang!"

Fan Ning slapped the table heavily, stood up and scolded angrily: "Where did you come from to be a wild boy who dares to pretend to be Zhang Guozhang's grandson and ruin Zhang Guozhang's reputation here?" ”

"What ..... are you?"

Zhang Chun was just about to scold, but he suddenly recognized Fan Ning, and couldn't help but be stunned, "It turned out to be you!" ”

Fan Ning stepped forward and said to a few bartenders: "You hurry up to the Kaifeng Mansion to report to the official, just say that someone is pretending to be Zhang Guozhang's grandson to make trouble in the restaurant, please Bao Shaoyin immediately bring someone to arrest him." ”

"How dare you—"

Zhang Chun suddenly remembered that his grandfather was warned by the concubine because of Fanning's matter.

Fan Ning obviously wanted to frame himself for impersonation, which made Zhang Chun suddenly vigilant, with Fan Ning present, he really didn't dare to make trouble again, so as not to be caught, and finally affect his grandfather.

Zhang Chun snorted, turned back to a group of partners and said, "What pig building dog building, in a bad mood for dinner this time, let's go to Qingfeng Building!" ”

With a wave of his hand, he led a group of accomplices downstairs and left.

As soon as they left, there was a burst of applause in the restaurant, and some people cheered loudly, "Well done!" ”

Fanning gestured to the crowd and returned to his seat.

There was a lot of discussion in the restaurant, and Zhang Yaozuo's grandson was accused of bullying.

Fan Ning sat down in his seat, and Feng Jing asked with a curious smile: "It seems that that kid is a little afraid of Brother Xian, what is the reason?" It can't be the same thing as it was three years ago! ”

Fanning shook his head, "It has nothing to do with what happened three years ago, I fought my grandfather once some time ago. ”

Fan Ning briefly told Zhang Yaozuo about falsely accusing himself, Feng Jing understood the reason, he smiled, "Although this kid is arrogant, he is very shrewd, and when he saw that the situation was not good for him, he immediately led people away." ”

Fanning snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the exam tomorrow, I really wouldn't let him go." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper came forward to thank Fan Ning for relieving the siege, and Fan Ning saw that his face was still a little red and swollen, so he said: "You still have to report this matter to the proprietor, it is not a matter of whether you can seek perfection if you are wronged, it is a matter of Zhang Yaozuo, and you still need to let the proprietor know about this matter." ”

"The villain understands, I will definitely report to the proprietor."

………..

After lunch, Fan Ning said goodbye to Feng Jing, and then returned to his residence with Su Liang in an ox cart.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Fan Mingren ran out and asked, "What's the matter with Li Dashou, why did he come back early?" ”

Fanning glanced inside the courtyard, "He didn't tell you?" ”

"When he came back, he locked himself in his room, and when he asked him, he wouldn't open the door."

"I'll do it!" Fanning walked briskly towards Li Dashou's room.

Su Liang whispered to Mingren: "Da Shou fainted in the examination room, and the exam was smashed!" ”

Akihito was stunned, "How come?" ”

"It's hard to say, I'll tell you later."

At this time, Fanning came to Li Dashou's door, and before he could knock on the door, the door opened.

Li Dashou said to Fan Ning very calmly: "Please rest assured, senior brother, I will continue to take the exam tomorrow, even if I fail, I will not let go of this opportunity to practice in the imperial examination." ”

Fan Ning nodded, "I won't say much else, first put your mentality right, and I'll make a personal review plan for you when you go back, work hard for three years, and strive to pass the next imperial examination." ”
