The happy life of a prodigal

Several guards of the Fang Mansion behind heard this, saluted in unison, and said loudly: "Yes, young master!"

Then, he rushed down aggressively, catching those guys who were chanting slogans and beating them violently.

This scene fell in the eyes of other people, and they all cheered up, and they didn't dare to say anything too much, at most they just said Wenquxing descended to earth.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu nodded in satisfaction, stepped into the carriage that had been prepared, and rushed towards the palace.

Fang Mansion is about an hour's journey from the Imperial Palace, and it happens to pass the Gong Yuan on the way.

Therefore, after a while, Fang Xiu heard a burst of heated discussions.

When I opened the curtain of the car, I saw that, as expected, I was in front of the Gongyuan.

A group of scholars in long gowns stood in front of the list, no longer their usual demeanor, they stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks, wanting to see if their names were on the list.

Some people looked at it from top to bottom, but in the end they couldn't find their name on the list, and suddenly felt that their whole life had become extremely dark and muddled.

What's more, he slumped on the ground directly, as if he had some incurable disease.

And the people on the list burst into ecstasy, or danced, or ran around shouting, as if they wanted to let the whole world know...that they were hit!

In front of the gate of this tribute courtyard, all kinds of human beings are vividly displayed.

In addition, some people stared at the top of the list, their eyes flickering, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

However, among the crowd, there was a figure that was very eye-catching.

It's not because his clothes are so outlandish, nor is it because his figure is too out of the ordinary.

It was just a very ordinary figure, dressed in a green shirt, standing against the wind, but it gave people an indescribable feeling.

Fang Xiu looked at that figure and thought of an elusive word, temperament.

Indeed... This figure has a completely different temperament from others, so even if there is nothing special about it, standing there is like standing out from the crowd, out of place.

At this time, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Due to inertia, Fang Xiu almost fell out, but fortunately he held on to the car window to stabilize his figure.

Zhang Wen also hastily opened the curtain of the car, fearing to make the young master unhappy, he hastily explained: "There are too many people in front, disturbing Xin'anbo, Xin'anbo, please don't be angry."

Fang Xiu heard this, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Eunuch Zhang, you are from the palace. When you enter Fang's mansion, I treat you as a friend, so the etiquette does not need to be so thorough. Outside, it is better to restrain yourself." good.

You don't need to talk about this kind of thing yourself, Eunuch Zhang. "

Zhang Wen understood what he meant in an instant, and nodded hurriedly: "Our family understands, then Xin'anbo, let's rest here for a while, wait for people to disperse before we start?"

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at the sky, then looked at Zhang Wen, and said, "It's still early, so it shouldn't be a problem to wait here for a while, right?"

Zhang Wen smiled and said, "Of course it doesn't get in the way."

Fang Xiu then nodded: "In that case, let's wait here for a while."

Zhang Wen: "Alright..."

After speaking, he lowered the curtain.

Fang Xiu's eyes turned back to the outside again.

In front of the Tribute Court, the figure had already stood in front of the list, obviously seeing his rank.

Then, he turned around, and a pair of beautiful eyes passed through the crowd, looking directly at the carriage in the distance.

Fang Xiu and his eyes met in mid-air.

After just a moment, they separated again.

Because, that figure has been surrounded by many scholars.

"Second Young Master Liu, congratulations..."

"I can't see the list at the back, so I don't know where the Second Young Master Liu ranks?"

"With the talent of the Second Young Master Liu, he must be the number one Jie Yuan!"

"..."

Scholars, especially those in the Gyeonggi region, apart from fame, only care about one thing most, reputation.

However, I can't write any good poems, I don't have fame, I can't serve the court, and I can't do practical things for the people. Where does this reputation come from?

It can only be done by building a good relationship with those well-known talents, hoping to become familiar in the circle of scholars.

After all, birds of a feather flock together and people form groups.

My friends are all talented people in the world, so in the eyes of others, this person must have some skills.

Therefore, many people who knew that they could not win all gathered around the Second Young Master Liu, hoping to gain some connections.

Chapter 377 The So-Called Backbone

The Second Young Master Liu had a calm expression from the beginning to the end. Looking at the crowd, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face: "Everyone is highly respected, but I am only No.2 on the list."

If others say this, they will inevitably be regarded as arrogant.

No. 2 in the provincial examination, although it is not Jieyuan, it is also a one-in-a-million existence. If it performs normally, it will almost certainly be the existence of Jinshi in the rural examination next year.

If this is the case, use the word 'just'.

So many people in the whole world who have studied hard for ten years but are not on the list, what are they?

But......

It's not the same when the second young master Liu said this sentence.

He is the number one talented person in Gyeonggi, and the biggest favorite of Xie Yuan.

Even in this place of Gyeonggi, many scholars think that Xie Yuan is none other than the second son of Liu.

Therefore, when he said this sentence, everyone just felt surprised.

Surprised that Second Master Liu is not Xie Yuan!

When everyone heard this, their faces showed surprise, and they blurted out: "The talent of Mr. Liu Er has not been ranked first, so who is this brother Xie Yuanhui?"

As soon as the words fell, a passerby replied, "Xie Yuan is Fang Xiu..."

Fang... Fang Hugh...

In an instant, there was silence.

After an unknown amount of time, someone finally said slowly, "The Fang Xiu you mentioned is New Amber?"

"The whole of Gyeonggi, is there a second Fangxiu?"

"This......"

The person who asked the question was confirmed, and he was stunned, his expression became very strange.

Who is Fang Xiu?

An ignorant loser.

Eating, drinking, and having fun, I have some skills, and I happened to make some money.

But asking him to take the imperial examination is not an insult to the scholars in this world.

Especially in front of the Gongyuan, this person once said in public that there is no need to read sage books, which is almost equivalent to slapping the face of every scholar in the world.

That's all.

He actually won Xie Yuan!

This... is not to slap the faces of these scholars, but to press them to the ground, punch and kick!

All the people present, especially those who heard Fang Xiu's "high theory" about the way of sages in front of the Gongyuan that day, felt their faces were hot, and subconsciously lowered their heads.

What a shame!

Of course, in addition to this, some people began to doubt the chief examiner.

"Fang Xiu, that ignorant dandy, can get rid of Yuan in high school?

Could it be that the chief examiner read the wrong paper and mistook other people's paper for that dude's paper? "

Finally someone couldn't help but speak.

The people next to him heard this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Su, be careful with your words, if the adults in the Ministry of Rites and Xin'anbo hear this..."

Hearing this, the speaker shrank his neck subconsciously, and stopped instantly.

However, it seems that this is an insult to the integrity of scholars.

He straightened up again, and said loudly: "People are not sages, no one can make mistakes, even the lords of the Ministry of Rites make mistakes sometimes.

With so many exam papers, who can guarantee that none of them will be wrong?

Can you guarantee it?Can you guarantee it? "

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the people around him.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

Seeing this, the man thought they were tacitly acquiescing to his statement, and continued with a look of arrogance on his face, "No, no one in this world can guarantee it!

Moreover, Xin Amber is just a dude who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

Master Fang's reputation, how can anyone in the capital know, who doesn't know?

Scholars must have the integrity of a scholar!

Don't say that Fang Xiu is not here, even if he is here, I dare to say this today! "

These words are eloquent and very inspiring...

At least that's how he sees it.

Therefore, he was already dancing and dancing, and said with emotion: "What is Jieyuan, what is Xin'anbo, a villain who doesn't know the books of sages and the way of sages!"

"Good! Well said!"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of applause suddenly appeared.

When everyone heard the voice, they all subconsciously looked in a certain direction.

In that direction, a handsome young man in fancy clothes came slowly, applauding as he walked, with a smile on his face, as if he agreed with what the man said.

Seeing this scene, the speaker also showed a smile on his face, saluted from a distance, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the scholars in the capital still have some backbone!"

As soon as these words came out, all the scholars next to him changed their faces.

The meaning of this sentence is that they have no backbone, and dare not speak out in the face of powerful people like Fang Xiu?

Although they knew that they had been scolded by others, they still didn't speak.

After all, they have all heard of the name of the shadow man of the tree and what kind of person that Xin Amber is.

The eldest son of the Ministry of Rites is the best lesson, and he is still imprisoned in the dark dungeon of Kyoto Prefecture, living a life that is worse than death.

They just want to study quietly, obtain a reputation, and serve the court in the future. They don't want to be planted in this kind of place for no reason.

Therefore, most people are still just silent and do not speak.

At this time, the handsome young man had already walked up to the person who spoke, and said with a similar smile: "My dear brother, what you said is wrong. I dare to agree with you, not because I have backbone... ..”

Speaking of this, he looked around and continued: "The colleagues here disagree with your statement, and it's not because they have no backbone...

Just because, in their minds, what you said was not true. "

After the speaker heard this, he walked up to him and asked, "Which one of the words I just said is not true?

Isn't Fang Xiu a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and play? "

The handsome young man smiled and said, "That sentence is true."

The person who spoke heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, why is no one dealing with it calmly like your brother, but like the golden pheasant who only knows to bury his head in the soil when he encounters danger, and doesn't say a word."

The handsome young man smiled and said, "Because they don't agree with another sentence of Xiongtai."

The person who spoke showed doubts and asked, "What are you talking about?"

The handsome young man said: "The lords of the Ministry of Rites are all dedicated to their duties, how could they read the examination paper wrongly, therefore, the first sentence of Xiongtai is wrong, so they will not agree."

Hearing this, the speaker asked back: "Since there is nothing wrong, how could Fang Xiu and others be able to solve Yuan in high school?"

The handsome young man smiled and said, "That's the problem..."
