Start with Tongfu

Chapter 63 White Horse Academy
"Hurry up and wash the fish, cut up the bacon, and then dig out the 70-year-old daughter red from the altar."

Fang Yang and the others finished greeting the guests and were chatting when they saw Tong Xiangyu coming in with a fish. As soon as she entered the inn, she handed the fish to Dazui with a smile and fanned, "Tonight we are all drunk stop."

"My lord, what happened?"

Fang Yang saw that several people looked confused, so he asked a question.

"It's nothing, Xiaobei is after school today." Tong Xiangyu leaned on the table and said excitedly.

"Ah~?"

"First day! We mustn't celebrate."

Tong Xiangyu covered her mouth with a fan, leaning back and forth with a smile.

When the scholar heard the words, he sat down on the stool in displeasure: "I was a scholar back then, and I never celebrated."

"So you are also a scholar." Bai Zhantang showed his affection to Tong Xiangyu in a timely manner, and made up for a scholar on the side.

"My ancestor was a juren in his 40s, and he became a magistrate in the second year."

The scholar was not happy, and directly brought out the glorious history of his family to fight back against Bai Zhantang.

"It went into the soil in the third year, it's the same as not doing it."

Holding the fish, Li Dazui yelled at Xiucai from the sidelines. As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed along with him, which did not care about Xiucai's young heart.

When the scholar heard this, he was naturally furious, and immediately quarreled with Dazui, trying to squeeze each other out.

The scholar proudly said that he knew a thousand characters at the age of three, memorized Tang poems at the age of five, read the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of seven, and was proficient in poetry and poetry at the age of eight; the result was that the 23-year-old poor man could not even eat enough, and lost his ancestral property Sold to the shopkeeper to open the inn.

"Okay, stop arguing, Dazui, go and cook! Xiaobei will come back from school later, and the shopkeeper will clean you up before you are ready."

Seeing that the two were arguing, Fang Yang interrupted their continuation.

"Who is it, a cook keeps running on me."

Lu Xiucai looked unhappily at the back of Dazui walking towards the kitchen. This was the most painful part of his heart for Lu Qinghou, who sold his ancestral property to take the imperial examination, but in the end he only got a scholar. .

It's not just that he wants to be prosperous and rich, honoring his ancestors, but he feels sorry for his ancestors in his heart. He has become the prodigal grandson of the magistrate. The Lu family was humiliated, so Lu Xiucai was under great pressure.

Fang Yang and Xiucai played together when they were young, and he obviously knew this too, so Fang Yang couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw the ruthless Xiucai with his big mouth.

He sat down opposite Lu Xiucai, looked at Xiucai for a while, and then asked aloud: "Xiucai, if you can become an official without the imperial examination, will you go?"

After speaking, he stared at Xiucai to see his reaction.

Fang Yang's words are not aimless, but because he has this kind of connection. The rivers and lakes and the imperial court seem to be opposites, but in fact they are inextricably linked. Sending a failed scholar to become an official, Fang Yang It's not difficult.

He only needs to look for his previous relationship, and tell those "old friends" who have already entered the court to be officials, and ask them to recommend or include scholars into the scope of annual tribute, so that they can enter the officialdom without the need for thousands of troops. I have been to the single-plank bridge and took the imperial examination.

As soon as Fang Yang finished speaking, the scholar's eyes lit up immediately, and he stood up excitedly. He was determined to take the imperial examinations. He wanted to become an official. Of course, he knew what Fang Yang meant. As long as he said yes now, he would be able to Become an official and continue the glory of the Lu family, and you won't be called a sour scholar anymore.

This is a great temptation for a scholar who has always been depressed!
Lu Xiucai supported the table with both hands excitedly, leaned forward, looked at Fang Yang opposite, and immediately wanted to answer, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again. After a battle between heaven and man, He sighed heavily.

Lu Xiucai sat down again, and under Fang Yang's gaze, sighed desolately: "Although I wish to become an official, I can't do ghost tricks!"

"You are still the scholar you were before, and you talked about it all day long, but now it seems that this kid really went to your heart."

Fang Yang looked at the appearance of the scholar and smiled. This is the difference in personal pursuit. Fang Yang cares about the result, not the process.

But Xiucai was different. He insisted on taking the most orthodox and at the same time the most difficult path of imperial examinations. Although the result of this path was unknown to Xiucai, it could make him feel at ease and not violate what he had learned.

Although Fang Yang does not agree with the choice of the scholar, he respects and admires the choice of the scholar.

Fang Yang, who knew that the scholar was finally admitted to the Jinshi by his own strength and entered the officialdom, didn't say anything more about it, but got up to greet the guests.

Since Xiucai gave up this shortcut that he thought was a "ghost trick" and chose a more difficult path, let Xiucai follow his own path, but Fang Yang will still give Xiucai some help in the imperial examination in the future, so that The scholar's official career has gone more smoothly!

While greeting the guests, Fang Yang was thinking about what would happen later, that Mo Xiaobei's Mr. Zhu came to visit his home, but he ruined the scholar completely, and almost made the scholar seek death.

Don't let this happen to him!It was too shocking.

Fang Yang was thinking about it, but saw Mo Xiaobei coming in with a satchel on his back, with a look of caution on his face that he had done something wrong.

"Hey~ why are you going!"

Seeing her sneaking towards the backyard, Fang Yang stopped Mo Xiaobei, "Did I do something wrong in the academy?"

"No!"

Mo Xiaobei froze when she heard the words, she didn't dare to look up at Fang Yang, but looked at her shoes, guilty of denying.

"Your sister-in-law is not here now. If you tell me, maybe I can find a way for you. If your sister-in-law finds out, the consequences will be..."

Fang Yang played with the towel in his hand and looked at Mo Xiaobei with a smile.

Hearing what Fang Yang said, Mo Xiaobei looked around immediately, and seeing that Tong Xiangyu was not there, she immediately pulled Fang Yang out of the inn, stood under the pillar outside the door, lowered her head and said in a tangled voice: "Today, I am in the academy. In the book, Qiu Xiaodong said that my handwriting was ugly, so I beat him up, and then stuffed all of Mr. Zhu's out-of-print books into his mouth."

Then, Mo Xiaobei sighed like a kid, and grabbed Fang Yang's clothes anxiously: "Mr. Zhu will be so angry when he finds out that he will come to visit his home. Brother Fang, what do you think we should do?"

"Don't worry, you go back first, I'll help you solve this problem, but don't let your sister-in-law know."

Fang Yang patted Mo Xiaobei's head, and told him not to walk towards White Horse Academy until he saw Mo Xiaobei happily running into the inn.

Fang Yang decided to send that Mr. Zhu away, to give the scholar some confidence, so as not to be told what Mr. Zhu said, the prodigal grandson of the magistrate has no future, no hope, the key is inhumanity, completely hitting the scholar, and making him lose all confidence.

After Fang Yang arrived at the White Horse Academy, he happened to meet Mr. Zhu who was about to go out and was going to Tongfu Inn for a home visit.

Seeing this, Fang Yang quickly stopped Mr. Zhu, and lied to him, saying that he was entrusted by Tong Xiangyu to come to see him, and that Tong Xiangyu already knew about Mo Xiaobei.

After Fang Yang explained his purpose of coming, Mr. Zhu didn't insist on going, but invited Fang Yang to sit down in the room, and was going to have a good talk with Fang Yang about Mo Xiaobei.

After the two sat down, Mr. Zhu first said that Mo Xiaobei was naughty and caused trouble, but then changed the subject and said that Mo Xiaobei is a talent that can be made, and that she dared to break the stereotypes at a young age. Her courage and courage are very commendable. Fang Yang should tell Tong Xiangyu to guide Mo Xiaobei well.

Fang Yang didn't interrupt, just listened quietly, and when Mr. Zhu talked about the prefect's prodigal grandson, he interrupted Mr. Zhu quickly, and then offered to pay for the repair of White Horse Academy.

"I don't know why Mr. Fang is willing to pay for the renovation of White Horse Academy!"

Mr. Zhu was taken aback when he heard the words. He was happy at first, but then he began to wonder. You must know that the cost of repairing the Academy is not a small sum.

"Education is the foundation of a country. Now that I still have some spare money, it is right to subsidize the education in my hometown!"

Fang Yang smiled and said to Mr. Zhu, in fact, this is what he has always thought, that is, to give back to Qixia Town, after all, this is also his second hometown. When he was young, it was also thanks to the townspeople care.

Moreover, this is only the first step of Fang Yang's plan. Next, there will be the embankment of the Xiliang River, and the care of some lonely old people in the town.
