Early the next morning, Du Miaoyan set off.

She ordered the coachman to hurry up, and almost all of his food and drink were in the car.

In the evening, when the gate of Liaozhou City was about to close, he finally arrived at Liaozhou City.

Du Miaoyan didn't go back to the Royal Commercial House, and directly let the carriage go to Fang Mansion, wanting to see Fang Yuan first.

"Hongfu, where's Fang Yuan?"

Du Miaoyan entered the living room and did not see Fang Yuan.

Suddenly I felt a little lost, and the fatigue of traveling all day slowly welled up.

"Sir. It was still there just now. ”

The red flocculent looked around, but did not see Fang Yuan's shadow.

And just now, a few people were still talking about where to go tomorrow?

"It was still there."

Du Miaoyan muttered, and the loss in her heart was even stronger.

This way, so much anticipation, so much missing, but in the end, is it like this?

"Miaoyan?"

At this moment, Fang Yuan's voice sounded from behind her.

Du Miaoyan's body trembled, and she quickly turned around and saw Fang Yuan, who she had been missing for the past few days.

"Fang Yuan."

Du Miaoyan felt that her voice trembled a little.

The thoughts seemed to erupt, and the warm current flowed through all parts of the body.

At this moment, Du Miaoyan had a feeling that she wanted to throw herself into Fang Yuan's arms, but her feet seemed to be rooted.

She had never felt this way about a man, she was shy, happy, excited, scared, etc.

"Didn't you go back to Chang'an City?"

Fang Yuan was surprised.

When I approached Du Miaoyan, I found that there was tiredness between her eyebrows, and I thought to myself that she couldn't be in a hurry, right?

"I'm back today."

Du Miaoyan said softly.

The loss in my heart is completely gone.

What translates into happiness and joy.

"In such a hurry?"

"What happened?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, as he thought, Du Miaoyan was in a hurry all day.

I just don't know what happened to make her rush over in such a hurry?

"No, I just wanted to see you."

Du Miaoyan did not hide it.

She is shy and scared, but inexperienced.

She didn't think about being rejected or anything, she just wanted to tell Fang Yuan that she missed him.

After leaving Liaozhou City, she missed him every day, so she wanted to tell him.

"Stunned, you can't fix me."

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said in amazement.

What is this called, and how is it a bit like a confession?

Hundreds of miles away, from early in the morning to late in the evening to arrive, just want to see him?

Hong Fu and Qing Yao on the side opened their mouths wide, looked at Fang Yuan, and then at Du Miaoyan, and their heads short-circuited for a while.

"I just want to do it."

Du Miaoyan said again.

"You, you sit down and rest first."

Fang Yuan still couldn't come back to his senses.

I always feel a little unconfident and a little unreal.

Is this a confession or an expression of longing for a friend?

Fang Yuan was not sure.

You must know that the woman in front of you is not only the beauty of the country, but also the daughter of Du Ruhui, the right servant of the court.

Why do you like yourself?

Why do you like yourself?

After thinking about it, Fang Yuan denied Du Miaoyan's confession and classified it as missing his friend.

But

"Sister Miaoyan, do you like my master?"

Hong Xu stared at Du Miaoyan and asked curiously and nervously.

Qing Yao was the same, staring at Du Miaoyan tightly, her face full of eagerness.

"Hmm."

Du Miaoyan still did not deny it, and nodded firmly.

However, his face was slightly red, and he glanced at Fang Yuan, and found that Fang Yuan was looking at her incredulously, and subconsciously avoided his gaze.

"Yes, is it a love between men and women?"

Red fluff asked.

"Yes."

Du Miaoyan's face turned even redder.

But again, there is no denial.

"Oh yes, blessed are you, sir!"

"Woo woo, I'm so happy, Fang Mansion is going to have a master mother."

Red flocculent was so happy that she wanted to jump.

Qing Yao hugged the pillow on the side and cried.

The two of them were so excited that they cried, and they could finally hope that Fang Mansion had a housemother.

In the past few years, they have been looking forward to the appearance of a woman worthy of their master.

Naturally, both Hongxu and Qing Yao felt that they were not worthy of their own master and could not be Fang Yuan's wife.

But Du Miaoyan can, there is no problem at all, beauty and wisdom coexist, and he is still from a top wealthy family.

"It's really going to kill me now."

Fang Yuan felt a little messy.

The confession came too suddenly, without the slightest preparation.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you I want to see you."

Du Miaoyan explained with a blushing face.

That's what she thought at first, but after saying that, she didn't believe it herself.

"That's good."

Fang Yuan nodded sneeringly.

He didn't know how to respond to Du Miaoyan for a while.

It's so sudden, it's a bit unexpected, and it doesn't feel real.

Fortunately, at this time, Xue Jiaoyan came out and told Fang Yuan and the others that it was time to eat.

"You, you didn't eat, did you?"

Fang Yuan immediately got up and was about to leave.

However, after taking two steps, he still looked back at Du Miaoyan and said.

"Not yet, I'm on my way today."

Du Miaoyan shook his head and smiled.

"Let's go together."

Fang Yuan dropped a sentence and quickly left.

"Let's be together, let's be together."

Hongxu and Qingyao surrounded Du Miaoyan on the left and right, smiling.

"What happened?"

Xue Jiaoyan asked curiously.

A small brain melon is a big question.

But unfortunately, no one replied to her, and Hongxu and Qingyao were busy currying favor with Du Miaoyan.

At the round dinner table, Fang Yuan and Juzi had already sat down, and Du Miaoyan was supported by Hong Xu and Qing Yao.

"Sit here, sit here."

Hong Xu and Qing Yao pushed Du Miaoyan to sit next to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan ignored it, but he felt a little uncomfortable, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.

"What's going on with you two?"

"Aren't you usually competing to sit next to Fang Yuan?"

The giant asked, puzzled.

At the dinner table, Fang Yuan sat in the main seat, and he was asked by Fang Yuan to sit on the left, so he was left with the right position of Xia Yuan.

Then Hongxu and Qingyao had to snatch it before they ate, and sometimes they felt like they were going to fight.

However, almost every time it is the red floc who wins, she is more lively and grabs the position quickly.

"Giant, what do you know, Sister Miaoyan may be the housewife of Fangfu in the future."

The red floc said with a white glance.

"Oh?"

"Really?"

The giant suddenly became interested.

looked at Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan curiously.

"Ahem, don't listen to the red flocs, eat."

Fang Yuan coughed dryly and said with a straight face.

Everyone ate one after another, and during the meal, almost all of you and I talked around Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, so that Fang Yuan was quite uncomfortable, and he left the table after eating.

Du Miaoyan also slowly felt embarrassed, and after eating, she found a reason to go back to the Royal Commercial House.

The next day, Fang Yuan didn't go to play, and got acquainted with the mechanism inside with the giant in the nine-story stargazing building.

At noon, Du Miaoyan came once, and left after seeing that Fang Yuan was not free.

The day passed like this, and Fang Yuan's three-day vacation was officially over.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the state academy is about to open, and many students have already signed up.

On this day, Zhang Ji asked to see him, and he also brought thirteen students dressed in ordinary clothes.

From the last time we met, Zhang Ji's image has changed a lot.

Although he was still lame, he looked much more energetic.

I don't know if it's an illusion, I feel that only such a little time has passed, and Zhang Jibai has a lot.

"Meet the Governor!"

Zhang Ji saluted Fang Yuan.

The students behind him also saluted.

"It's all exempt!"

"Zhang Ji, you have done a good job of publicity!"

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

It has not been a month since Zhang Ji started publicity, and 58 people have already signed up.

Fifty-eight people are already quite a lot, and in the second year of Zhenguan, only fifty-seven candidates in the entire Liaozhou signed up for the imperial examination.

"The grass people don't dare to be, thanks to the state's respect for the imperial examination."

Zhang Ji didn't dare to take credit.

He did his best to publicize, but it wasn't all his credit.

Fang Yuan personally went to Pingcheng County to solemnly invite Xiao Ai, he already knew, and sighed in his heart, and thought that Fang Yuan attached great importance to the imperial examination.

"You're also indispensable."

"What is the so-called matter of looking for this official this time?"

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

looked at the thirteen students behind Zhang Ji.

Looking at what they are wearing, and their clothes are washed white, you know that their family is not in a good situation.

If I guessed correctly, I should have come to borrow money to study, and they were the first batch.

"Zhou Zun, these Liaozhou students have no money to study for various reasons, and they are embarrassed to come, so the grass people brought them to borrow money."

Zhang Ji replied truthfully.

The thirteen students behind him immediately lowered their heads in shame.

Borrowing money to study made them feel ashamed and afraid to face their classmates.

"Why are you still embarrassed?"

"You can have books to read, you can have the opportunity to be named on the gold list, and you have the opportunity to glorify your ancestors, and it is a shame for you to borrow money to study?"

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, dissatisfied with the mental state of these students.

Seeing these students, Fang Yuan also seemed to understand why no students had come to borrow money to study before this.

If they are all like them, then what is the point of borrowing money to study by themselves, isn't it a waste of such a good policy?

"I'm afraid of being laughed at by my classmates, I'm afraid of being ashamed of my expectations of the state, and I'm afraid of working hard to the end."

A young student whispered.

The other students lowered their heads even deeper, and felt the same.

"Borrowing money is not a humble thing, borrowing money and not paying it back is the reason to be ridiculed."

"People are not immortals, they are not sages, there will always be times of difficulty, and there will always be times when they need help from others."

"The official is willing to help you, because the official thinks you can and feels that your future is unlimited, not that you are worried about working hard before you try."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

If you can think of worrying about yourself and being ashamed of yourself, then there is still salvation.

Otherwise, Fang Yuan would directly drive them away, too lazy to give them a chance.

"The state respects the righteousness, if Ge You regenerates his parents, please accept Ge You's worship!"

After listening to Fang Yuan's words, the student who spoke just now trembled uncontrollably.

He immediately stepped forward and saluted Fang Yuan respectfully, bending his waist directly above ninety degrees.

"Please accept me and wait for me!"

Other students saluted Fang Yuan one after another.

Zhang Ji stood aside, full of sighs.

The state is the state honor, and one or two sentences are worthy of his lobbying for a few days.

He said similar things to these students, but they didn't seem to listen.

Sure enough, it is more practical to say that it is still the state honor.

"Thanks, I don't need to say more."

"I hope you will study hard, live up to your time, and live up to yourself."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said indifferently.

They are all amiable and lovely students.

In the future, he may be his helper in the officialdom.

Naturally, Fang Yuan lent them money to study, not completely for public welfare.

"Live up to the time, live up to your own students, and follow the teachings of the state!"

Ge You and the others muttered, their eyes slowly brightening.

Zhang Ji also tasted this sentence, and his eyes were brighter.

"Liu Sihu, sign a loan agreement with all the students."

Fang Yuan shouted towards the office area on the side.

A moment later, Shito Yanagi Wenshi walked out with a batch of contracts.

"Come here, let's talk in the conference room."

"Take these contracts first, confirm that there are no problems, write down the money you want to borrow, and then sign and draw a pledge, yes, the contract is for one year, and if you need it next year, you will borrow it next year."

Liu Wenshi said as he walked, and finally the door to the conference room closed, and no sound came out.

"Congratulations to the state honor, the state academy has won thirteen more students."

Zhang Ji congratulated Fang Yuan.

"Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji, are you congratulating the official, or are you reminding the official of your merits?"

Fang Yuan looked at Zhang Ji with a smile and said.

"No, no, the grass people didn't mean to remind the governor."

Zhang Ji was startled and explained again and again.

His leg was bad, and he almost fell in a hurry.

"Okay, don't be nervous, the official doesn't blame you, this time it's really your credit."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

With the thirteen students borrowing money to study this time, I believe it will play a great role in driving the study.

Those students who dare not or are embarrassed to borrow money believe that they will soon go to the state capital to borrow money.

"Zhou Zun, the grass people think that the matter of these thirteen students borrowing money to study should be hyped up."

"Let those students who want to study but can't afford to borrow money know that it is not a shame to borrow money to study."

Zhang Ji proposed.

"It's a good idea, but it's not necessary."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said.

"Huh? Why? ”

Zhang Ji was puzzled and surprised.

He felt that if it was publicity this time, it would definitely attract many students.

"They don't study for their own officials, they study for themselves."

"The official is willing to give them a chance, but they can't lose that face, so don't read it."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Scholars are thin-skinned and love face, and these sources have all heard of it.

But it depends, some are tolerable, some are not.

For example, Xiao Ai has to invite herself before she is willing to come, that's okay, she is a talent, and she also needs to teach a master.

But what about these students?

It's all for their good policy.

They don't cherish it, but excessive courtesy makes them pampered and arrogant.

Fang Yuan hoped that more students would come to borrow money to study, but he was not begging them to come.

"But."

Zhang Ji wanted to say something.

He hopes that more students will be able to read books.

The state academy is definitely different from the small study, and it can learn more things, and the imperial examination is more certain.

"Don't do it, let's prepare for the opening of the state court in five days."

"By the way, what do you think, do you want to stay in the state capital and run a civilian job or listen to other arrangements from this official?"

Fang Yuan interrupted Zhang Ji and said.

"Grass people, grass people still want to participate in the imperial examination again."

Zhang Ji's face suddenly turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Ji, you're not joking with this official?"

Fang Yuan frowned and said.

The four talents and three realities of the imperial examination of the imperial court completely cut off Zhang Ji's way.

"Zhou Zun, the grass people's legs can be saved after half a year."

"My hair. I'll try to adjust the hairstyle to see if I can pass the test, please state zun complete! ”

Zhang Ji pondered for a moment and pleaded.

Eighteen years of cold windows, carrying hardships and tears.

Don't fight again, Zhang Ji won't blink an eye.

"Go borrow money."

Fang Yuan stared deeply at Zhang Ji for a long time before he slowly spoke.

is a ruthless man who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, let him go, the sail of life should be in his own hands.

"Xie Zhouzun."

Zhang Ji saluted Fang Yuan respectfully.

Then he dragged his limp to the conference room.

The back is over, but it looks unusually firm.

After five consecutive days, the opening day of the state court has finally arrived.

In the past five days, students have signed up one after another, and some have come to borrow money to study.

By the deadline for application, the number of students was as high as 150, more than three times that of the previous year.

For Liaozhou, this is a grand news, which shocks the people of the entire Liaozhou City.

The location of the state court is very close to the location of the Thorn Mansion, just opposite the Royal Merchant House.

Therefore, Du Miaoyan brought her maid to attend the opening.

There were a lot of people, and many families in the city came to participate.

The state courtyard has a new look, and a lot of new benches have been added.

At this time, Fang Yuan, Du Miaoyan and Liaozhou high-level officials stood in the front row.

The teachers represented by Xiao Ai stood in the second row.

The students, represented by Zhang Ji, stood in the third row.

At the door are the people of Liaozhou and so on.

There are also gongs, drums, and lion dances that open at any time.

Many people don't know Du Miaoyan and are curious about Du Miaoyan's identity.

But Fang Yuan didn't explain, so they didn't know Du Miaoyan's identity, so they could only guess blindly.

Some people think that Du Miaoyan is a certain noble daughter of the minister of the imperial court, and some think that it is Fang Yuan's fiancée, and they have their own speculations.

"Fang Yuan, why can't you start yet?"

Du Miaoyan asked in a low voice.

She remembered that the auspicious time was the first time, and the sky should be almost or too late at the scene.

"Wen Sigong, why don't you start yet?"

Fang Yuan frowned and asked Wang Wenshu on the side.

"I'm urging, Governor Wait."

Wang Wenshu said in a low voice.

"Urging?"

"Who else is missing?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

The officials of Liaozhou were all there at the scene, and the county orders of the three counties were also there.

Fifteen teachers and one hundred and fifty students are no less.

Who is missing?

Whose face is so big?

"Liu Yongshou hasn't come yet."

"The lower official has already urged him three times."

Wang Wenshu's face was a little ugly, and he said embarrassedly.

"He must come over for the opening of the state court?!"

Fang Yuan's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice.

Why did it involve the three tribes of Hedong again?

"This is what Master Xiao wants."

Wang Wenshu said.

"Zhou Zun, Xie County Liu is the representative of the literati and scholars, and the belief of our Hedong scholars, the opening of our state academy requires their participation, if the Liu family does not nod, our state academy will not be opened."

Xiao Ai noticed the conversation between Fang Yuan and the others.

Seeing Fang Yuan frowning slightly at him, he hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Why didn't this official know that there was such a rule?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"It's not a well-known rule."

"The state courts of Bingzhou and Puzhou are all presided over by the Liu family of Xie County, and the presidents of the two state courts are from the Liu family of Xie County."

Xiao Ai explained.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was still calm, he explained one more sentence.

"You said you urged three times just now?"

Fang Yuan looked at Wang Wenshu and said.

"Yes, invitations were sent before that."

Wang Wenshu had already sensed that Fang Yuan was unhappy, and he didn't dare to hide anything, and he didn't want to get angry.

"Procrastinating, don't wait, let's start!"

Fang Yuan's face sank and he said coldly.

Invited in advance, and urged three times and didn't come, it must have been deliberate.

At this time, they continued to wait for the Liu clan in Xie County, as if they couldn't do without them, which fueled their arrogance.

"Governor, don't do it."

"If the Xie County Liu family is not there, it will have a great impact in the future."

Xiao Ai was startled and hurriedly persuaded.

"Governor, let's wait."

When the other teachers learned about this, they also persuaded them.

"What's the impact?"

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed even deeper.

"We will be said to have no etiquette, not orthodox."

"The master will not be able to teach steadily, and the students will not be at ease in learning."

Xiao Ai explained.

"Without the nod of the Xie County Liu clan, it is not orthodox?"

"This official Liaozhou assassin history, the state court opened by this official still needs them to admit that it is orthodox?"

Fang Yuan laughed angrily.

I like to hear that the Pei family, the Fenyin Xue family, and the Xie County Liu family, the three clans in Hedong are really domineering.

In addition to hearing about the Pei family, the Xue clan of Fenyin and the Liu clan of Xie County have one Wu and one Wen, wouldn't it be necessary to control the entire eighteen states of Hedong Province?

"Governor, wait a little longer."

Xiao Ai and the others did not answer.

But their meaning is already obvious.

"Nonsense, the state court of this official doesn't need them to admit it, open!"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Ai and the others still wanted to open their mouths to persuade them, but Fang Yuan directly ignored them.

Under Fang Yuan's order, the opening of the state court officially began, and the ceremonial team beat gongs and drums to officially determine the opening of the state capital.

It should have been a very happy thing, but the fifteen teachers were not happy, full of sorrow, which was undoubtedly offended by the Liu clan of the county.

A branch of the Liu clan of Xie County in Liaozhou City.

Liu Yongshou, Xue Wenbo, and the new news Pei Yonghan drank tea together.

"Isn't Gong Liu going to preside over the opening of the state court?"

"This is also a good thing for us in Hedong."

Pei Yonghan looked at Liu Yongshou with a smile and said.

This is a young man who is about the same age as Fang Yuan, Yushu is in the wind, but the two eyebrows are a little thick, which affects the overall image.

"Let them wait any longer, and they won't dare to do anything."

Liu Yongshou said with a smile.

Youzai Yuzai sipping tea.

Yes, Yoo Yongshou was deliberately late.

Fang Yuan's arrogance in Liaozhou City was too arrogant, and he even dared to kill Pei Yinghua, what face would he have if he didn't fight their old guy.

"Hehe, don't you worry about Fang Yuan?"

Pei Yonghan still said with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, don't wait for the old man to have more excuses to say that he is not."

Liu Yongshou shook his head and said.

He had long been dissatisfied with Fang Yuan.

But I haven't found an excuse to make a move.

If you don't wait for yourself, then there is even more reason to make a move.

However, Fang Yuan was savage, and he didn't dare to face the reader.

"Readers are so insidious."

"If you want to go or not, pretend to be reserved."

Xue Wenbo couldn't see it, and sneered.

This small gathering really shouldn't have come, and it's the face of a scholar again.

"What do you know, you're a brainless martial artist."

Liu Yongshou was immediately provoked and glared at Xue Wenbo fiercely.

Can the calmness of a scholar be called insidious, he is really a brainless martial artist.

"Besides, believe it or not, I'll kill you with one punch?"

Xue Wenbo raised his fist directly.

"Hmph, Takefu, I don't care about you."

Liu Yongshou snorted coldly.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and whispered in Liu Yongshou's ear.

Liu Yongshou kept saying that he didn't care about the opening of the state capital, but when he learned that the opening of the state court really didn't call him, his face immediately sank.

"The old man really convinced the hypocrisy of you scholars, and he obviously cares about it, but he says it's okay."

Xue Wenbo felt that he had no topic with a scholar like Liu Yongshou and wanted to leave.

He heard what Liu Yongshou's housekeeper said, and the Liaozhou Prefecture Court opened.

Pei Yonghan didn't speak, and looked at Liu Yongshou with a smile.

Thank you losai98 gold owner dad for rewarding 1500 starting coins, the first time I received so much money, thank you, thank you, love you.
