Chapter 385 Volunteering, Fan Jinzhong

"Master, there are many gifts."

Fang Jielun thought of the box and cage that those people sent just now, and said: "The old slave looked at it, and reckoned it could be worth a thousand pieces of gold."

"No! Tell them to take it home with them."

Fang Xing just thought about it for a while, and knew that those people did it.

Even Zhang Shuhui knew what the matchmaker's arrival meant, she just watched Fang Xing silently, and went out to arrange a celebration banquet after a while.

"What a disgusting person!"

After arriving in the study, Fang Xing frowned and said, "These people are flattering me on the surface, but who knows what they are thinking behind the scenes!"

"Hold and kill!"

Huang Zhong analyzed: "Uncle overthrew Zheng Heng, there must be jealousy among the relatives. This is a superficial gesture, but secretly he hopes that Uncle will get over himself!"

Fang Xing sneered and said, "It's a pity that this kindness was let down by Fang!"

Huang Zhong said worriedly: "Uncle, but this movement cannot be hidden from His Majesty."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "Bo Lu, you have to understand that in my position, you must be neither party nor group, otherwise sooner or later..."

It doesn't take much effort to talk to smart people, Huang Zhong immediately understood and said: "Exactly, uncle is the teacher of His Highness, and if the emperor's teacher in the future has close contacts with civil and military officials, no matter what others think, His Majesty will always be the teacher." Impossible."

Fang Xing stood up, felt the festive atmosphere outside, and said with his hands behind his back: "This matter must come to an end, His Majesty will probably make an action soon, and I..."

Fang Xing turned around and said, "And I probably have to change places. One is to avoid the conflict that is about to erupt. As for the second thing, since my Xing He Bo has never been crowned as a military minister of Xuan Li, His Majesty is also embarrassed!"

Zhu Di himself probably didn't expect that he 'forgot' the title of Xuanli Wuchen intentionally or unintentionally, and the result would trigger such a strong backlash.

Huang Zhong wondered: "Then why is Your Majesty indifferent to this?"

Since Zhu Di is under pressure, at worst, he can just give Fang Xing the title of Xuan Li Wuchen.

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Your Majesty has the same temper as Emperor Taizu Gao, how could he bow his head? If there were not too many people who opposed it, His Majesty would have to do something."

Zhu Di has a tough temper, and it is generally impossible to bow his head to his courtiers. But this time there were too many people opposing Fang Xing in the court, so he had no choice but to suppress his killing intent.

Since he couldn't do it, Zhu Di must find another way.

What will be the solution?

Fang Xing simply didn't bother to think about it, he just hoped that he wasn't sent to supervise the construction of the Forbidden City.

In the afternoon, Fangjiazhuang was full of excitement, even Wanwan came to join in the fun, and went home with a round belly after eating.

And the next door is the sky turned upside down.

"How could there be no me? Why?"

Cheng Qiang growled with red eyes.

Today they waited for half a day until the people who went to see the list came back to report, and only then did they know that Cheng Qiang had actually failed the list.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Cheng Qiang is sure to win this township examination, and everyone thinks that he will at least enter the top ten.

But as great as the hope is, how painful is the disappointment!

Yan Xu stared blankly at the list copied in his hand, got up only half the salary, and said angrily: "Then how can Ma Su Hede steal the position of Xie Yuan, and I will wait for the old man to go tomorrow. It’s impossible to ask for an explanation!”

Li Mao was also stunned by the side, he didn't expect Ma Su to be elected, and he was Xie Yuan.

How can your Fangxing students win the Jie Yuan?

Li Mao, who had always thought that Fang Xing was cheating, finally knew today: when he saw Ma Su again, he would never hold his head up again.

There are many rules for literati, and they can be ranked according to the results of the imperial examination. This is the rule for many years.

Even if you are gray-haired, as long as you lag behind others on the road of imperial examinations, after others have passed the dust, you have to call them seniors when you meet them.

...

The next day, Fang Xing asked Jia Quan to leave after breakfast.

In the uterus, Fang Xing heard the latest news.

"Taizhou Prefecture was looted by Japanese pirates earlier this year. The local officials were miserable and have already asked for help."

Zhu Gaochi hesitated to speak.

Fang Xing wondered: "I remember when last year, didn't the Chu Menwei gain a lot?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "Exactly, but the local people's conditions are a bit complicated. The local officials said that they are one body, and it is not easy to eradicate it, and it is impossible to prevent it."

Seeing that Fang Xing was deep in thought, Zhu Gaochi didn't bother, but just flipped through the memorial.

Fang Xing knew very well that this was Zhu Gaochi's kindness, and it might even come from Zhu Di's instruction.

So……

"The minister is willing to go!"

...

After leaving the palace, Fang Xing saw a group of people surrounded by Shuntian government office, shouting endlessly.

Huh!

When Fang Xing reined in his horse, he realized that the leader was actually Yan Xu, surrounded by young students.

"I want to read Cheng Qiang's exam paper, otherwise it must be unfair to you!"

When Fang Xing heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Soon, an academic officer came out, and he directly pasted some test papers on the wall next to the door, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Not bad, this one shouldn't be missed!"

"Looking at this article, it's written with cadence and ups and downs, and it's delicious to read. It's a good article!"

"This is okay..."

"Hey! Why is this article out of context!"

"Tsk tsk! Even the font is messed up, it can be seen that the man is already flustered!"

"It fell short! What a pity!"

Cheng Qiang was also among them. When he saw the familiar font, his body shook a few times, and then he rushed out of the crowd, not knowing that his shoes ran away.

"I hit! I hit!"

"Hahahaha! I won...I, Cheng Qiang, is Jie Yuan!"

Well!

Seeing this somewhat familiar scene, Fang Xing couldn't help but want to go up and slap him.

"Come back! You come back!"

Yan Xu was almost crushed by this test paper, and seeing his nephew going crazy, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Today he made a big fuss in the Shuntian government office, even if no one was held accountable, but the moment Cheng Qiang's test paper was posted, he knew he had lost.

I should have waited first!

Wait until the eldest brother recovers from his illness before asking, in that case, how could there be today's humiliation!

After Yan Dan was reprimanded by Zhu Di, he complained of illness when he returned home, but no one was seen.

After the confessor went to chase Cheng Qiang, Yan Xu saw a smiling face.

A hideous smile!

Fang Xing cupped his hands on the horse's back and said, "Mr. Yan is indeed a destructive person. Today is an eye-opener for Mr. Fang, but I don't know if Mr. Yan from the Li Family Academy will stay? Hahahaha!"

Seeing Fang Xing laughing and leaving, Yan Xu couldn't figure it out, how could his nephew be acting out of order for no reason?

And it's the last one!

And he has no face to go back to the Li Family Academy, otherwise he will be stabbed in the back.

Aren't you, Yan Xu, coaxed by a nifty pen? But none of the students under him passed the local examination, and even your nephew, who was as arrogant as you, was driven crazy by failing the exam!

And what about Fang Xing?

There was only one disciple, but it was such a lonely disciple who not only passed the Juren examination, but also was actually Jie Yuan!

I just ask you whether Yan Xu accepts it or not!

After returning home, Fang Xing wrote a memorial and asked someone to send it to Zhu Zhanji for delivery.

In the study, Fang Xing asked Xiao Dao, "Before the last match, how much medicine powder did you put on the rim of Cheng Qiang's cup?"

Xiaodao thought for a while: "Master, my little one has almost covered all the medicine powder you gave me."

Madan!

Fang Xing waved his hand to make the knife dodge.

Before leaving, Xiaodao asked curiously: "Master, what is that medicine powder for?"

Holding a small bottle in his hand, Fang Xing waved his hand. After the knife came out, he sighed: "That Cheng Qiang is in good health! To be able to finish writing after taking so much medicine, he really is a talent!"

As for the bottle in Fang Xing's hand, if someone he knew saw it, he would definitely recognize it.

— Tartaric acid... slices!
