Force scumbags to follow good records

In fact, it is not accidental that West Lake Academy's test scores are so good this time. You must know that those who can take the imperial examinations in this era, and those who can survive on this battlefield are not stupid people, and these people who are not stupid are not stupid. The reason why people's talents and learning are high or low has a lot to do with the types of books they have read and the factions of knowledge they have come into contact with, because in this era, the scarcity of books determines that the speed of knowledge dissemination is frighteningly slow. , which also makes the cognition of people in this era relatively narrow.

Of course, this is a relatively literary statement. If you put it in the vernacular, whether it is Yan Jin, Li Yifu, or Zhang Xianzhong, they are all smart people, but the types of books they have read before are too few. , but ever since I got acquainted with Shen Fangliang, especially Zhang Xianzhong, because of his poverty but a little poor pride, he was quite congenial with rigor, and was often invited by Yan Jin to read and discuss Taoism together, and in the rigorous courtyard, haha, Shen Fangliang uses reading The 5000-year-old cultural classics copied down by the system are a "wealth" that cannot be bought even if you have money, especially for scholars.

The full reading during this period of time allowed these guys who are close to Shen Fangliang to improve their literary literacy on a large scale in a short period of time, and the indirect consequence is that these guys all did well in the exam, except for Fang Liang. beautiful.

The childish Fang Jinxiu pouted, feeling unhappy over there, while Li Yifu, who had known Fang Jinxiu for a long time, was comforting him, saying: "Your family sent you here just to let the gentlemen of West Lake Academy take good care of you. , your inner father loves you too much, your father is worried that if you stay at home like this, you will be too spoiled, so he asked you to go out to study, just for the sake of experience, not because he really wants you to study for fame. It’s nothing if you don’t do well in the exam, why bother making yourself unhappy.”

Having said that, but on Fang Jinxiu's side, he lost one person and was not qualified to enter the village tribute. How could he be in a better mood? The frustration at this moment was clearly written on that round face, which was clear at a glance.

Here, Yin Risheng followed Shen Fangliang cautiously, with a flattering smile, Shen Fangliang grabbed his ear, and after so long, he was finally willing to give him a smiling face, saying: "That's right." .”

Yin Risheng, who had tilted his head in pain from being caught by his ears and didn't dare to resist, was taken aback when he heard this, and then looked at Shen Fangliang in disbelief. The look in his eyes really made Shen Fangliang bully a pure little animal. illusion.

With a raised eyebrow, Shen Fangliang said: "As long as you don't die, be obedient, study hard, and be a good person obediently, you think I'm free and have nothing to do, so you have to torment you? You feel uncomfortable, don't tell me I'm going to spend a good time with you?" Wouldn't I feel bad if I wasted on you? Just like now, you are good, I'm fine, and everyone is happy."

Yin Risheng hesitated to speak.

Shen Fangliang was here to teach Yin Risheng a lesson, Zhang Xianzhong came here together with rigor, and bowed sincerely to Shen Fangliang, Zhang Xianzhong was an elder, and said first: "This time, if it wasn't for the generosity of Shen Shaoxia, who didn't hesitate to collect books for us to read, we This scientific examination will not have such a good ranking."

Shen Fangliang smiled and said: "Everyone is polite, I didn't do it deliberately, why should you thank you." Speaking of this, Shen Fangliang paused, and said, "After the tribute, there is still some time before the next trouble, I don't know How do you two plan?"

Yan Jing and Zhang Xianzhong looked at each other, and then Yan Jin said: "Brother Zhang and I wanted to go to Beijing as soon as possible and live in the capital so that we could gain some fame and be more sure about the Ministry of Rites Examination, but we are too shy. It will take time to raise funds.”

Hearing this, Shen Fangliang turned his head and glanced at Yin Risheng who was timid behind him, and said: "If you two don't give up, I also want to take my prodigal son to Beijing as soon as possible. Why don't you go together, and the matter of making money, the two of you Don't worry about it, how about following Yan Jin's practice in our courtyard during this time?"

When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, his face turned red. To be honest, he and Yan Jing are both poor people. During this period of time, Jin still has a little savings relying on the "salary" given by Shen Fangliang. The money for his studies is all earned by hard work in the back room of the family. Although Zhang Xianzhong is a bit poor and proud, but compared to his own To show some face, he cared more about whether the extra cost of going to Beijing would make his inner room more difficult, so he licked his face and came to Shen Fangliang to see if he could get some help, but when Shen Fangliang spoke, He also suffered from the thin-skinned temperament of some scholars, and he was a little embarrassed to directly agree.

Shen Fangliang started from scratch and has worked hard in the first-tier cities for a long time. He still has some eyesight, and he can see Zhang Xianzhong's embarrassment almost at a glance, so he smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, don't think that my little money is easy to get, I invite you Going to Beijing with us is not for brother Zhang to be a casual guest so easily, you are just like rigorous, you have to help me look after this prodigal son."

After finishing speaking, Shen Fangliang handed Yin Risheng behind him to the car, and pointed at Yin Risheng to signal Zhang Xianzhong.

In fact, what Shen Fangliang said was the truth. In his opinion, it was a good deal for Yan Jin and Zhang Xianzhong to help watch Yin Risheng, because many times he would have the feeling of wanting to strangle Yin Risheng. With these two people To help share the burden, he can take a break to relieve the mania in his heart, but in Zhang Xianzhong's view, this is Shen Fangliang's "goodwill" that is generous to help him and considerate of his own face, and unwilling to embarrass himself.

Feeling moved in his heart, Zhang Xianzhong said sincerely: It's a pity that such a good young man is engaged to that bastard Yin Risheng.

Thinking this way in his heart, he didn't exchange greetings with Yin Risheng, but decided on the date of going to Beijing with Shen Fangliang. Here they were discussing with each other when the tribute's confession would come down. Over there, after Li Yifu comforted Fang Jinxiu, he took Fang Jinxiu with him. Turning around, he leaned over and said, "Why, you guys have to run alone, don't take me with you."

Shen Fangliang rolled his eyes, stuffed Yin Risheng into Li Yifu's arms and said, "Take you and watch him for me."

Li Yifu threw Yin Risheng back into Shen Fangliang's arms like he disliked dirty things, and said, "No, we can't afford to serve this living ancestor."

Some students here are happy and some are sad, and a very gorgeous motorcade over there comes out of West Lake Academy. The head of the academy and the gentlemen repeated the scene of sending Tang Duque away that day, and lined up for this Shen Fangliang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Yifu and others looked at the owner of the caravan seeing him off, but it wasn't Li Xining but who else.

Fang Jinxiu, who had shaken off his unhappiness, widened his eyes and said, "Is Li Xining leaving? Why didn't he say hello to us!"
