Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 103: life saving grace



Chapter 103 Life-saving Grace

  …

  Tang Yin actually went to apprentice.

  The news spread like wildfire.

Everyone originally thought that Tang Yin, a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River, would definitely disdain Fang Jifan\'s behavior and would be stubborn to the end. Moreover, many Qingliu in the court also revealed some news, and seemed to fight for Tang Yin\'s reason. If Fang Jifan continued to threaten him, It is unavoidable to impeach Fang Jifan for \'forcing the good to be C\'.

  But who would have expected that Tang Yin would worship outside the Fang\'s house early in the morning, hand over his name card respectfully, and directly enter the Fang\'s house with his ceremony of confinement.

  Fang Jifan got up early in the morning, and he was obviously a little dissatisfied with Deng Jian\'s impatience for waking him up.

but…

It seems that today is destined to be recorded in the annals of history. Celebrities, there are always some records in official history, unofficial history, government annals, and county annals. Fang Jifan is determined to maintain his last pitiful image, so when he heard Deng Jian say that Tang Yin is coming, Fang Jifan looked overjoyed: "Xiao Xiangxiang came to get dressed, my young master wants to welcome Xiao Tang."

  Xiao Xiangxiang dressed Fang Jifan. During the process, there were inevitably some indescribable things.

   It seems that the habit has become natural, and Fang Jifan is not ashamed.

  Hey... Depraved, damned prodigal son.

  Since he was a historical celebrity, he naturally had to put on some airs to impress Tang Yin, so he ordered Deng Jian to go to the study and invite the three disciples of Ouyang Zhi.

   Arriving in the central hall, the three of Ouyang Zhi were dressed in new attire, staring blankly at left and right.

The poor three tribute students, when they met for the first time, they could still see a little bit of aura, but they saw all kinds of absurdity, and their minds were smoothed out. victim.

  Fang Jifan sat down, crossed his legs, leaned back slightly, and said casually: "Tea."

  Deng Jian poured the tea as if asking for credit. In fact, Fang Jifan is not a person who can taste the taste of tea. His mouth is too rough, but the most important thing is style.

   Not long after, the trembling Tang Yin came down under the guidance of Guanshi Yang.

  Guard Yang felt emotionally, every time a scholar came into the Fang family, it was as if he was pushing him into a fire pit, but he himself turned into a bustard and a tortoise.

Tang Yin entered the hall, his fingers stiff from the cold were still holding the gift of confinement. Originally, he was inexplicably grateful to the other party\'s successor, so before he stepped over the threshold, he was still thinking that after entering the hall, he would immediately bow down and pay homage to the teacher. present. But as soon as he saw Fang Jifan sitting upright with his feet up, he regretted it in his heart, and he didn\'t know what happened.

Hey…

  Sighed in my heart, I didn\'t turn back when I opened the bow. If I go now, I will probably be beaten to death again.

He knelt down, and the dignified twenty-eight-year-old young man solemnly bowed to a fourteen-five-year-old young man: "Tang Yin, a tribute student from Wu County, whose name is Bohu, is willing to worship the entrance wall, listen to the teachings, and invite The Mansion of En will not give up."

   As he spoke, he bowed his head solemnly.

  Fang Jifan smiled: "Don\'t be polite, don\'t be polite, get up and talk. Deng Jian, go and move a chair."

   Tang Yin\'s mood was extremely complicated. When the chair was moved, he sat sideways, but he didn\'t know what to say.

But Fang Jifan was overjoyed. The four tribute students, these four tribute students have all become Fang Jifan\'s disciples. They will take the top three in the exam, and they will catch them all. There is also one... um... scum is a bit scum, seniors take the first and second exams Three, you actually got eighth in the exam, I really want to beat you.

  So his eyes were like lightning, and he looked at Jiang Chen sternly.

Jiang Chen was so wronged that he wanted to cry, so he released the rankings. He was obviously the number eight scholar in the world, but he always felt that he couldn\'t lift his head up, especially when his teacher looked at him with fierce eyes from time to time. , which made him feel even more ashamed, he hurriedly lowered his head, his face ashen.

  Fang Jifan\'s eyes quickly flicked across Jiang Chen\'s face, and he just dragged a person into the den of thieves, ah, no, he entered the warm family of the Fang family, he is new here, so don\'t scare him. So he laughed and tried to look amiable: "How about calling you Xiao Tang?"

   "..." Tang Yin was silent, of course, this was a default.

  Fang Jifan said: "You are now a Gongsheng student. Two months later, the palace examination will be held. At that time, you will be officially an official. In these two months, you will move into Fang\'s house and teach you the prelude, right?"

   Isn’t the so-called imperial examination just an interview?

  According to the characteristics of these four students, or in other words, based on their origins, it is very difficult to shine in the interview.

  After all, among the four, Tang Yin was the one with the best family background, but even Tang Yin was only born in a merchant family and had money. Compared with those children of real aristocratic families, it is nothing like mud.

   Let’s talk about the guy who got fourth place in the exam, Wang Shouren!

This person is also well-known, and Fang Jifan yearns for him. His father is the number one scholar, and now he also works in the Zhan Shifu. Although his official position is not high, he is inseparable with Li Dongyang and others. Therefore, Wang Shouren is still just a person. When he was young, he often chanted poems against the cabinet scholars, and he could cope with it freely in front of the cabinet scholars, without stage fright, and meeting the emperor, it was nothing to him.

To put it bluntly, he is a person who has seen the world, but look at the four of you, the most awesome person you have ever met, I am afraid that you are just a teacher. When you get to the imperial court, if you get too excited or panic , when the time comes for the top three in this first class, it will be completely over.

  So, Fang Jifan decided to conduct surprise training, training, in his last life, Fang Jifan went through such an interview training class.

   Tang Yin seemed hesitant, but his mentor has a life, so what else can he say? I had no choice but to nod: "I would like to follow the teacher\'s instruction."

"And..." It is almost conceivable that Tang Yin will eat and drink in Fang\'s house from now on, and he even has to teach and organize meetings. Thinking of this, Fang Jifan feels that there is another foodie in the family. It is a loss-making operation. When will the capital be recovered?

  Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes: "Xiao Tang, I will ask you again as a teacher, what are your plans after the palace examination?"

  Tang Yin said solemnly: "Students are lucky enough to go to high school, and the court will not abandon them, so they will definitely become officials. Since they are officials, they should be like a few seniors, benefit one side, educate the people, and be loyal to the emperor."

  The righteousness is awe-inspiring and majestic.

   This actually reminded Fang Jifan of the past, thinking back then, before he was treated, he was so pure, hey... the former self, how can I change it?

   Feeling emotional in his heart, Fang Jifan shook his head and said, "Wrong!"

  When he misheard, Tang Yin raised his eyes in surprise, and looked at Fang Jifan in disbelief.

   Is this wrong?

  His three senior brothers were expressionless and unmoved.

  Fang Jifan said even more righteously: "People live to be officials, and to be officials is to work **** copybooks?"

   Tang Yin was silent, not knowing how to answer.

  Fang Jifan plausibly said: "This is really absurd. As a teacher, he speaks more straightforwardly, so don\'t mind. For example, Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan, and Jiang Chen are a little stupid with elm heads..."

   "..."

  Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan, and Jiang Chen were dying of grief.

  If someone else said these words, it would be tantamount to insulting the gentleman. The three of Ouyang Zhi must fight with others.

  But... What else can I say about what my mentor said? The teacher said east, do you dare to go west? I had no choice but to choose to forgive.

   "But you are different." Fang Jifan looked at Tang Yin, his eyes glowing.

   Tang Yin was a little at a loss.

  I am only the third in the test. Compared with Senior Brother Ouyang and Senior Brother Liu, how dare I say anything different?

  Fang Jifan said: "You are a talented person. As a teacher, you look down on the kind of people who study and die, and become officials and die as officials. Is there only fame and fortune in life?"

   As he spoke, Fang Jifan\'s murderous eyes glanced at Ouyang Zhi and the others again.

   The three of Ouyang Zhi felt a RIGOU feeling, and felt sour in their hearts. This Tang junior, it seemed that his mentor treated him a little differently.

  Tang Yin thoughtfully: "Then, dare to ask my teacher..."

Fang Jifan said with emotion: "Everyone has emotions, and they have to express their emotions. The so-called gentleman expresses his emotions. This sentence, but Confucius... no, is it a sage? You are a talented person, because If you have this kind of talent, you can’t put all your thoughts on drilling. In the future, when you enter the Imperial Academy, you will naturally do your job. When you are free, you should find some hobbies. For example, if you love painting, you can Painting, painting helps to cultivate sentiment, can make people sublimate, as a teacher, in fact, he is also an elegant person, this is good, when you come back from duty in the future, just draw something, and when you are finished, send it to the teacher Come, as a teacher... to appreciate it."

Tang Yin\'s body shook, and he looked at Fang Jifan in disbelief. In his heart, this mentor was a common man, and Fengya had nothing to do with him. Tang Yin was too lazy to deal with such people.

But…

  I actually misunderstood my mentor, and my mentor actually had such high opinions.

  He actually began to feel that it was not the worst choice for him to be a teacher. He hurriedly said: "Student, please follow the teachings."

  Tang Yin was actually slightly moved.

  People are so mean. When you don’t expect too much from a person, it’s hard to avoid being gratified when he says or does something reliable.

   When the mentor met, Tang Yin was \'surprised\' by the first words he uttered.

"It\'s just..." Tang Yin took a deep breath, just like Ouyang Zhi and others, human beings will always adapt slowly, natural selection, survival of the fittest, he sighed, and said: "Master, I know that Xu Jingfu, a fellow student from the same hometown, asked a question The student and Xu Jing are inextricably linked. Now that he has suffered an injustice, the student dares to protect him. Brother Xu is definitely not cheating. The student is just a tribute student, and there is no way to rescue him, so I implore the teacher, Do you want to think of a way, he is now in Jinyiwei, his life is hanging by a thread, if there is a slight mistake, he will die..."
