Chapter 113 Please be clever

  The capital shakes.

  Emperor Hongzhi\'s edict of guilt has already spread to every corner of the capital.

  The current sage is the sage, and it is not surprising that he issued an edict to sin against himself.

  The only surprise is, why is Fang Jifan the one who advises?

   This is a bit embarrassing.

   It\'s just the inside story, but the palace is tightly covered and airtight, and those who know it never mention it, and those who don\'t know it can only speculate secretly.

  Fang Jifan suddenly became a rising star, and his image improved all of a sudden.

  It\'s just three feet of freezing, not a day\'s cold, but more people are suspicious in their hearts.

  After returning from fertilization in the East Palace, the watermelon vines have produced fruit, but only walnuts are big and ugly, and it is still too early to really grow into a salivating appearance.

  Because of digging the soil and fertilizing, Fang Jifan is filthy all over. Fang Jifan has already begun to doubt his life. Isn\'t the original intention of this young master to make money? How to earn and earn, and really go to farm?

  Although I yearn for the beauty of the countryside, it should also be pastoral, like the magi of the Western Jin Dynasty, bragging about lying on the farm or in the mountains under the eastern fence, picking chrysanthemums, and seeing Nanshan leisurely, why did they go to the field by themselves?

  His Highness the Crown Prince... is a scam.

  As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw that the whole square furniture was solemn.

   When they arrived in the hall, they saw Guanshi Yang, Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan, Jiang Chen, Tang Yin, and Xu Jing all present.

  Fang Jifan was greeted with admiring eyes.

  Although Fang Jifan’s appearance was not strong enough, he had neither pomade, cigars, nor a cool coat. He was still dirty and even exuded a smell of ‘natural fertilizer’.

  But in an instant, that Xu Jing stepped forward, bowed at Fang Jifan\'s feet without hesitation, and said excitedly: "Fortunately, Mr. Lai En has spoken out righteously. The student has resumed his student status. The student is very grateful!"

   "Oh." Fang Jifan nodded, he was used to being thanked by others, it was quite comfortable and he felt good: "Got it."

  Seeing that Fang Jifan was indifferent, Xu Jing\'s eyes burst out with enthusiasm. He bowed at Fang Jifan\'s feet again, and said: "Students admire the kindness of benefactor, and are willing to worship under Engong\'s door and serve benefactor."

   worship...teacher...

  Fang Jifan couldn\'t help but look at Xu Jing at this moment.

  Xu Jing’s background is different from other people’s. He is from an aristocratic family in the south of the Yangtze River. What Fang Jifan hates the most is the guy who looks as handsome as himself, has money in his family, and is full of economics.

  Young Master Ben is the flower, and the disciples are just green leaves. You are born with thin skin and tender flesh, and you even move closer, is it because you want to steal the limelight?

  Of course...the real reason is...the sons and brothers from aristocratic families have more problems. Although Tang Yin also has many problems, he can draw.

  As for Xu Jing, judging from the fraud in the imperial examination this time, as soon as he entered Beijing, he met friends everywhere. It\'s fine if it\'s just a little ostentatious, Fang Jifan is also very ostentatious, but unfortunately, this Xu Jing went to pay a visit to Cheng Minzheng without IQ, and after the visit, he went around telling others, for fear that others would not know him and Cheng Minzheng After Cheng Minzheng was appointed as the examiner, he should avoid suspicion at this time, but he didn\'t, he still went to ask for writing, and after he finished asking for writing, he hurriedly sent the embellishment fee.

  This... is obviously a living mental retardation.

  It is not easy for such a person to be alive, it is entirely luck, but apprentice...

  This student cannot be accepted! At least it can\'t be accepted now, and the water chestnuts on his body must be worn off first. Xu Jing went to prison, and he was indeed a little more stable than before, but it was not enough.

so…

  Fang Jifan squinted his eyes, and said very straightforwardly: "I won\'t accept it, please be smart."

  Everyone thought that what followed would be a happy and harmonious scene, but who knew, the young master of the Fang family didn\'t give any face.

Xu Jing was taken aback, Fang Jifan\'s act of righteousness moved him so much that he burst into tears and wept bitterly many times. Now that he had regained his reputation as a Gongsheng student, and the imperial examination was coming, he thought, Bohu has already worshiped as a teacher, this Fang family The young master has three more disciples, and I have received his great favor, so I should also worship at the gate wall. He never thought that Fang Jifan would refuse, but Fang Jifan refused so neatly.

  It’s kind of like… ‘fuck you’ attitude.

  Xu Jing cried and said: "If a student pays homage to the entrance wall, he must serve his benefactor as a good student, and invite him... I don\'t mind..."

  He is not reconciled.

  Fang Jifan was annoyed: "If you don\'t want it, then you don\'t want it. Originally, I was a Jiang Chen, and he only passed the eighth place in the general examination, so he taught me to be ashamed to see others, and I have no place to be ashamed..."

  Jiang Chen, who was standing aside, seemed to have been stabbed in the heart by a knife.

  Fang Jifan showed an apologetic look, looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Xiao Jiang, you don\'t mind if you speak frankly as a teacher?"

  Jiang Chen\'s eyes were hazy, as if foggy, he almost cried out, but shook his head hard and said: "I don\'t mind, I don\'t mind."

  Fang Jifan nodded and nodded, and then said to Xu Jing: "Look, I, Fang Jifan, already feel ashamed of a Jiang Chen. Tell me yourself, what rank did you get in the exam?"

   "..." Xu Jing couldn\'t help but look ashamed.

  He did even worse in the exam, more than twenty.

Although more than 20 people will be tested, and at Xu Jing\'s age, as long as his performance in the palace examination is acceptable, he is guaranteed to be a second-class Jinshi, and he is good-looking. His face is completely changed, but by that time, he will probably be able to restore his handsome appearance, and he is guaranteed to enter the Imperial Academy.

   Such a person, in the whole world, is an imperial official with a bright future, but when it comes to Fang Jifan, he can\'t hold his head up.

  Xu Jing still wanted to fight for it again, so he said: "Students have loved reading since they were young. My family ancestor Xu Yuyi and my father Yu Yuanxian were both great Confucian scholars in the south of the Yangtze River..."

  Xu Jing seemed to feel that this was the only thing he could hold.

  He came from a famous family, the Xu family in Wucheng, and he was very famous in the early Ming Dynasty, and his reputation spread far and wide.

  Fang Jifan smiled: "What do your grandfather and your father do to you?"

Xu Jing was even more ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, so he took a deep breath and said: "Under the influence of my grandfather and father, the student has loved poetry and books since he was a child, and he is willing to study tirelessly. My mother and my wife are in charge of it, while I am immersed in my career. I usually don’t go out of my house, and I don’t look at the market.”

  Fang Jifan said disdainfully, "It\'s just a nerd."

   "..."

  Originally, for a scholar, these things are all very proud things. Love to read and have a famous family. Which one is not a very prestigious thing?

  But Fang Jifan didn\'t care about it.

  Xu Jing\'s eyes were red, he kept kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, he was not reconciled, in this world, there are still teachers that Xu Jing can\'t worship? In the past, I don\'t know how many people were begging for nothing and wanted to accept him into the gate wall.

He took a deep breath, thought about it, and felt that Engong is very human. Since he doesn\'t like nerds, then...he collected himself, and said: "The student\'s family is rich in books, and there are a large number of books from the Song Dynasty in the "Wan Juan Building" built at home. The ancient documents that survived the chaos of the Yuan and Yuan dynasties. There are many works such as astronomy, geography, and travel notes. Students have said that they have been kept in mind since they were young. For students, the four books and five classics are just careers That\'s all, students know everything about astronomy and geography, classics and ancient books."

   This is his trump card.

  Actually, he didn\'t brag about this.

The Xu family has been a great Confucian family since the Southern Song Dynasty. Xu Jing’s grandfathers collected countless ancient documents. This is why Xu Xiake, Xu Jing’s grandson, was called a Chinese geographer in history. With family background.

  Fang Jifan wanted to frustrate Xu Jing, so he just sneered: "Astronomy and geography, can you eat it?"

   "..."

  At this time, Xu Jing was so sad and angry that he wanted to die.

  Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Your level is not enough to be my disciple. I already have a bad apprentice Jiang Chen. Don\'t mention the matter of apprenticeship."

  Jiang Chen: "..."

Steward Yang watched with his eyes straight, but the young master was talking, and he didn\'t dare to intervene, for fear of losing the young master\'s face in front of outsiders, but...he beat his chest in his heart and stumbled, young master, young master, such a good young man Caijun, if you want to worship at your feet, why humiliate him like this.

   Feeling emotional and melancholy in my heart, I couldn\'t help but glanced at Tang Yin, Ouyang Zhiren, etc., and couldn\'t help but feel brooding. The brains of today\'s scholars are all broken, all broken.

That night, Xu Jing had a bitter expression on his face. He had already packed his bags and was going to move out tomorrow. He and Tang Yin lived in the same room, and parting was imminent. In this spotless study building, a green lamp was shining. On Xu Jing\'s scarred face.

He let out a long sigh, very unwilling, and then he shook his head bitterly and said: "Bohu, sometimes I really envy you. People like Engong, although they speak too directly and speak like a knife, are very wise and brave. How about outsiders?" It’s not important to look at him. But as far as I, Xu Jing, if I can worship him, even if I don’t learn any principles from him, even if I can serve him, I’m willing in my heart.”

  Xu Jing is very grateful to Fang Jifan.

  Back then, the trouble he caused was too big.

  The Xu family is a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not unrelated to be in the capital, but since it was involved in fraud and was sent to prison, those old friends who were in Beijing on weekdays were all panicked, and no one dared to help.

  Actually, Xu Jing doesn\'t blame them, if he wanted to blame them, he really couldn\'t blame them. In such a case, whoever touches whoever dies, even close relatives, I\'m afraid they can only utter a mournful cry.

  But Tang Yin begged Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan actually agreed.

  As Tang Yin\'s mentor, Fang Jifan stepped forward because Xu Jing was Tang Yin\'s friend.

  Look, such a mentor cannot be found even with a lantern.

   Not only that, Fang Jifan also got things done. Not only did Xu Jing get out of the imperial prison alive, but also restored Xu Jing\'s reputation, and even... the emperor issued an imperial edict of guilt.

   If this is not great wisdom and courage, what is it?
