Fang Wenshao took the sobering tea, took a sip, and smiled bitterly: "This feast at noon is to celebrate Liu Shi's 60th birthday, until the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, Fang San, although Liu Shi is only a showman, and now his reputation is still below me, but he was my teacher, how can I be lazy and resign early?"

"And his son Liu Hongmo himself is motivated, and he is already a talent, and he can't be contemptuous, alas, if Xi'er has this talent, it would be good, this time Xi'er did something ugly, I had to excuse myself from a minor illness and couldn't go, I was really ashamed to kill me!"

Fang Zheng knew that her husband loved this son deeply, but she hated him for being too much, so she hurriedly said, "My son's illness has been cured." ”

As he spoke, he explained the process in detail, and said: "The laity says that blessing oppresses mildew, and the friends made by sons are still some blessings." ”

When Fang Wenshao heard that his son's illness was cured, he was overjoyed, and after thinking about it carefully, he muttered: "You mean, it doesn't hurt when Xi'er gets close, and it hurts when he leaves?"

Fang Zheng said: "According to my son, it is true. ”

This is not just a blessing, Fang Wenshao was stunned for a moment, and got up: "I'll go and take a look, and by the way, I'll take a test for Xi'er's homework." ”

Fang Zheng is not an unreasonable person, but Wen Yan said to her husband: "His face is swollen, he hasn't studied for the past few days, if you miss your homework, don't punish him in front of your friends." ”

Fang Wenshao stroked his short beard: "Don't worry, madam, I have measure." ”

I searched for it, found the study, and found that my son had forgotten most of his homework a few days ago, so he immediately picked up the ring ruler and hit it a few times: "How did I teach you?

Fang Xi had tears in his eyes, so he could only endure it.

"Say, what's going on with this?" put down the ring ruler, Fang Wenshao sat back on the chair and asked.

Fang Xi's eyes widened, he looked at his father, and said them one by one, and what he said was not much different from Fang Zheng's.

Fang Wenshao thought about it, although his son has some talent in reading, and he successfully passed the middle school entrance examination, but his personality is a little unscrupulous, he didn't show talent in the exam last time, and now the government exam is imminent, if he doesn't take some fierce medicine and spur it on, I'm afraid that his expectations will be disappointed.

At this age, when it is most likely to go the wrong way, you can't let it go.

Seeing that his father's face was as heavy as water, Fang Xi showed his entanglement and whispered: "Dad, my son knows that he is wrong, and he will definitely study hard in the future and shine on the lintel." ”

"It depends on your performance in the future, not just a promise. Fang Wenshao didn't plan to let his son change all of a sudden, for him, it was more important to get to know people.

Zheng Yingci is a relative of his own family, he has known him since he was a child, and he is indeed very good, but there is another person who has just knew, and he stroked his beard at the moment: "The Su Zizi you newly met is a child?"

Fang Xi thought for a while: "Yes, I heard my cousin say that he is a new middle school child, although his son has never heard of his name, but if he thinks about it, he will be a child at the age of fifteen, and his talent should be good." ”

Although Fang Wenshao couldn't get used to his son's casualness, he was quite relieved about his son's friendship.

"There is a way, don't bully young people into poverty. Although he is a child of a poor family, he is already stronger than many people if he can pass the Tongsheng examination, so let's go and meet him. ”

Fang Wenshao said that he went to meet the guests in the hall, Su Ziji had already changed his clothes, and was chatting with Yu Lu and Zhang Sheng.

"Su Xian's nephew, I am in Sangzi with your father, and I am the same year, I have always been close and have been taught, but I have never seen you, and when I see you today, I am a young talent, and I know that it is a seed of reading at a glance. Fang Wenshao not only talked to Yu Lu's nephew, but also greeted Zhang Sheng, and also had a good attitude towards Su Ziji.

"You and Xiao'er are the same children in this county, and you will have to have a lot of contacts in the future. ”

Su Ziji hurriedly said: "The student is lucky, he is really ashamed. ”

Fang Wenshao said again: "I heard that your father died, the countryside was closed, I didn't hear about it, I couldn't run to hang, I am really ashamed, I have fifteen taels of gold, and the right of the virtuous nephew is accepted, and I have to pay my condolences in person in the future." ”

As he spoke, someone came in with a wooden plate, in which were placed three silver ingots, each about five taels.

Fifteen taels of silver, for a poor student like Su Ziji, is definitely a large sum of money, which is really surprising, but this was collected at the scene of the white matter, and it makes sense, but it is not in line with the etiquette to receive it now.

Su Ziji repeatedly excused himself, and only said: "If the uncle is mourning, the little nephew will be welcoming ten miles, but now this money cannot be collected." ”

After a pause, Su Ziji was sincere: "However, I do have something to ask for." ”

"Oh? Fang Wenshao was a little curious about what Su Ziji wanted, not only Fang Wenshao, but also Mrs. Zheng and others were also waiting for Su Ziji's words. This is fifteen taels of silver, as a poor student, he actually refused, this is really puzzling, Su Ziji pushed away this bonus, what did he ask for?

I heard Su Ziji say: "Brother Fang and I hit it off at first sight, I heard my uncle's article is old-fashioned, and every word is beautiful, and my little nephew wants to ask Brother Fang to recite the praise, so that he can be used for life." ”

Everyone listened, are stunned, although the experience of lifting people, for scholars, especially those who want to take the test Xiucai, does have some value, but the Great Wei Shizu reform, set up the imperial examination and engraving and printing, to now hundreds of years, has become the most important way to become an official, county examination, government examination, provincial examination, meeting examination, palace examination, almost all to the time to decide to take.

For the sake of the imperial examination, publishers collected and published articles by more than one person, especially Jinshi Hanlin, and the reading activities of Shiwen were unprecedentedly popular in depth and breadth, and to read these Shiwen, you could buy three copies for one or two dollars.

No matter how confident Fang Wenshao is, he doesn't feel that his article can be compared with this kind of published Hanlin text.

And looking at Su Ziji's clothes, he knows that he may not be poor, but he is not rich, he resigns his money, and just wants to listen to and read his own articles, is this Qinggao, or is it a kind of conspiracy?

Fang Wenshao coughed dryly, and said to his scholar: "This is easy, Moshu, go and move the small wooden box of my bookshelf, Xi'er, you can read it to Su Xian's nephew." ”

In fact, although it was the first time we met, Su Ziji gave a good impression, if it was Qinggao, although it was a little naïve, it was very in line with the heart of a teenager and the normal feelings of people.

But if it's a conspiracy, just to flatter yourself, it's a little scary.

Because he is only fifteen years old, he has this kind of mind when he has an idea, but the so-called danger of mountains and rivers in his chest, even if he is really a nobleman, he can't make friends.

In this way, even if he gains for a while, there will be a great disaster, although his son is free but broad-minded, he will be a substitute for the dead ghost at that time, and he must not be allowed to stay by his son's side.

Of course, Fang Wenshao has no intention of offending possible nobles, so he will not suppress it, but will spend some money and use some connections to send Su Ziji to study in Fuxue, so that he will not only be separated, but also be able to settle a favor, and he will see him in the future.

Thinking like this, he asked the scholar to get it, the Fang family does not engage in red sleeves to add fragrance, whether it is Fang Wenshao, or Fang Xi, they are all scholars, Fang Wenshao still leads by example in this regard, but this son is by nature, there are no red sleeves at home, so he goes outside to be a nymphomaniac, even if he is engaged to his fiancée.

Now that he has learned a lesson, if he is relented because of this, in Fang Wenshao's opinion, it will be a blessing in disguise.

"Master, the box has been brought here. After a while, the ink book that had been sent to the study to carry the box came back, carrying a wooden box that was not too large, and gently placed it on the table.

Fang Wenshao motioned for Su Zizhi to come over, not only Su Zizhi, but others also approached one after another.

Especially Fang Xi, after seeing his father open the box, he couldn't help but look inside: "Dad, these are your manuscripts?"

There are more than a dozen copies in it.

Fang Wenshao glanced at him: "This is my reading experience and poems for more than ten years, you have read most of them, and there are two books left, you must also read them well these days, don't be lazy." ”

If it weren't for his son, how could he have written this?
