Startled Meng

Yan's Mansion is next to Yu's House, and the plaque given by the imperial court is not as impressive as the two finely carved white jade lions next to it, even the servants in the two houses have a big gap.

One west and one east, Juniper and Xiao Qing came towards each other, both carrying bamboo baskets, they had just returned from the morning market.

Juniper is plain and simple, walking steadily with a vegetable basket in his hand, and saw the guy next door who scared his younger brother to the point of running away yesterday, although he was dissatisfied, he nodded his head to save Lord Yan's face and let it go.

Xiaoqing was dressed in green cloth, jumping around with a vegetable basket in her arms, seeing a head of cabbage, a few eggs, two squares of tofu, and two taels of pork in the juniper basket, and not all of them were lean. The duck fish turned upside down, and Shi Shiran smiled at Juniper.

The two were speechless, and planned to go back to their respective homes, but they were both attracted by the conversation of the two vegetable farmers in front of the house.

"Hey, this Yan Mansion... which Lord Yan?"

"Oh, it's Mr. Yan who was seriously injured by a fire a while ago!"

"He! Why did the imperial court give him such a place to live? Isn't it a sympathetic person? Who doesn't know that Meng Xiao, the collaborator and treason, died in this mansion? No one has lived in it for more than ten years. What if What should I do if there are still things in it that have not been cleaned?"

"Otherwise, based on Master Yan's current position, how can he afford such a big house? Isn't it because no one wants to live in this house!"

"That's right! Because of what happened back then, the Feng Shui in this street is not good. It is said that it is easy to have thieves and officials. The houses in this area are sold at low prices and few people want them!"

The two talked as if no one was around, and the two young men approached calmly.

Juniper wanted to remind the two of them not to gossip in front of other people's houses, but Xiaoqing is a person who can't listen to bad words, so he threw the vegetable basket on the ground and wanted to drive people away noisily.

"Who asked you to sell vegetables here? Hurry up, you can't afford it if Feng Shui is not good, if you don't leave, I will smash your rotten vegetables!"

The two vegetable farmers had never seen such a fierce boy, but they knew they were wrong when they gossiped at the door, so they had to leave with the vegetable basket on their shoulders.

Xiaoqing was so angry that he took the vegetable basket from Juniper angrily, and left without paying any thanks, and Juniper didn't want his thanks either. Both of them were thinking about what the vegetable farmer said just now, and parted ways Entered the door of his own house.

Jun Jun entered the door, did not see Mr. Yan in the main hall, so he went around the main hall and walked to the backyard.

The grass and trees in the backyard are lush, and Juniper thought about finding time to repair it. Finally, he saw the back of his own adult in the stilted red pavilion hidden in the bushes, and hurriedly jumped into the pavilion with white stone bricks embedded in moss.

"grown ups--"

Juniper's slightly panicked calls stopped abruptly, for the joy of his own adults.

When Yan Cijing heard the words and looked back, the smile on his face was like a begonia that had grown crazily in spring, and Juniper suddenly didn't want to tell him the gossip of outsiders.

"Ah Song, you came just in time. Ah Yan is weaving clothes for the goose with grass. It's a green gown. Look at it." Yan Cijing was next to the stone pillar, and the book he brought over hadn't been turned over a few pages, but it was all taken by Du Yan. The action attracted him, and he was looking at Du Yan and laughing.

Juniper also laughed, and told his younger brother to go to the room to get a coat for the adults, and he went to cook with a vegetable basket.

Xiao Qing didn't have such a wide heart, and angrily threw the vegetable basket to the people in the kitchen, and found his young master on the imperial concubine's couch in the backyard with incomparable precision, and cried while holding the table for the sweets.

Adding elaboration to say how the outside slandered this land, and said that being next to the thief's mansion ruined the fortune. The inside and outside words are to let the language know the meaning of finding another house.

Yu Fangzhi was about to cover his face with his arms and go to sleep, so he had to listen to the boy crying, and said in a bad tone: "Don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Qing: "But...but that's what outsiders say."

"You just think those people are farting." Seeing that Xiaoqing was still pestering, he said, "Next time you hear someone say that, come to me directly, and I will pull out that person's tongue."

Seeing that Yu Fang knew it was a joke, Xiao Qing opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

Yu Fang knew that he would not feel sleepy after lying down, so he sat up and saw a cluster of crimson flowers beside the wall, among the neatly trimmed green trees, there was a kind of brilliance that could not be ignored, he stared blankly .

Xiao Qing: "Master, this is a sticky crabapple."

Yu Fangzhi hummed, and stood up: "It's quite eye-catching."

Xiao Qing followed Yu Fangzhi out: "Master, it's almost time for lunch, where are you going?"

Yu Fangzhi said: "Don't worry about it." He sauntered out of the door.

The streets are getting more and more lively, most of them are rushing to the Cangshan temple outside the city, the spring is coming, apart from walking around the mansions all day long, they just go to the temple to worship and ask for the good things they want It's a sign.

Yu Fangzhi didn't go out of the city, but walked towards Dongshi's cloth, and he asked for the brocade woven by sparrow feathers. Where can ordinary shops have such high-quality materials?

Yu Fangzhi was not in a hurry, and asked one by one, and accidentally asked one place. The shopkeeper hesitated and said that the sparrow feather brocade would not be displayed for sale. I can only go to the warehouse with the shopkeeper to see.

Yu Fangzhi agreed, and the shopkeeper took him away from the back of the shop, turned around in the alley, and entered a warehouse full of fabrics.He sat down on the wooden stool, and the shopkeeper, who knew the way, opened the locked box and brought a magnificent brocade.

Yu Fangzhi took it, but brushed off the brocade, took out the rice paper hidden in the cloth and shook it up.

The shopkeeper had already knelt down on one knee, and respectfully called out: "Master."

"Well, get up, things are going well."

"It's all according to your instructions. A brother with a suitable appearance and temperament will pretend to be a student and drink with Fan Zhi. After a few days of contact, Fan Zhi relaxes his vigilance. During a drink, he made a slip of the tongue. For the convenience, he got the exam questions from Zheng Lang in advance. A few days ago, our people had already connected with Zheng Lang's people, but... that person was very vigilant, if our brother was not smart, he said it was Fan Zhi Introduced, and also gave a lot of money to manage, I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly."

This exam paper is the dream of countless candidates, and Yu Fangzhi just put it on the table casually, saying: "Good job."

"Next, according to the master's instructions, I will connect with the students who need this test question the most."

Yu Fangzhi saw that his subordinate was puzzled, so he asked him to speak directly.

The subordinate pondered for a moment, and said: "It's just that if this is the case, it will inevitably leak the news, will it scare the snake?"

Fang Zhi smiled and pretended to be a kind-hearted Buddha: "Don't be afraid of publicity when you do good deeds. Besides, it is impossible for Zheng Lang to vent his questions to Fan Zhi. We just help him to carry forward and accumulate virtue for him. Otherwise, how would others know about Zheng Shangshu?" Is he a kind person who cherishes talents?"

Hearing what he said, the subordinates couldn't hide their excitement: "This matter involves a lot. If we can succeed in one fell swoop, those treacherous ministers who are dereliction of duty and greedy can be sent to prison. Right arm and right arm."

Yu Fangzhi's eyes were sharp: "This matter should not be rushed, brother who showed his face in front of others asked him not to come out for now."

"Yes."

Yu Fangzhi left from the warehouse, and after discussing with the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, he will send Yunjin to the house later, while he himself walks home along Shunyi Street.

It was getting late, and many students had already returned from outside the city, and they were gathering together in groups, asking each other how they were preparing for each subject, and which senior officials they had sought advice from.

There are those who talk about any minister, even those who say strict words.

Yu Fangzhi leaned his ears to listen, and heard the student say that he took the money and went with the article. Who knew that Mr. Yan was an upright person. After reading it for him, he even returned the money stuffed into his sleeve in the street. .

And humanely, Mr. Yan was the number one scholar back then, the people who came to ask for advice must have trampled on the threshold of Yan's mansion, right?

The student curled his lips and said, although Mr. Yan is the number one scholar, he doesn't have the ability to help recommend it. It's better to please the ministers who are more talkative in the court.

All the students said yes one after another, but Yu Fangzhi shook his head, thinking to himself that it was a pity, even if Zheng Lang didn't do the daring thing of leaking questions to make money, with the aptitude of these students, he would definitely not be able to win the Jinshi.

Yu Fangzhi lamented the deteriorating world and went home.

Before entering the door, he saw that the gate of Yan Mansion was closed tightly, and the plaque had just been hung up, and it will be taken down in about a short time.

After entering the door, Yu Fangzhi went to look for the concubine's couch in the backyard specially for him to rest and enjoy flowers. He was waiting early in the morning with a box of seasonal fruits.

Yu Fangzhi lay down and asked the boy to rub his legs, the position, the degree, and the degree of comfort. Then he closed his eyes contentedly.

There was a casual smile unique to a dandy on his face, but he was threading needles in his mind, starting from the exam question, link by link, carefully pondering the way, if the thing can be successful, it will be involved in the expected goal, Unexpected goals are also involved, which is out of his control.

The small courtyard is quiet, with the occasional breeze rustling grass, which is the loudest sound, but I don't want to, separated by a wall, I can easily hear the noise of the neighbors.

"My lord, Ah Yan chased the goose up a tree, and is squatting under the tree staring at the goose."

Yu Fangzhi heard the sound of pages turning, and also heard two low laughs.

"Okay, the geese will come down by themselves when it gets dark, Ah Yan, let's go eat quickly."

Yu Fangzhi opened his eyes. At this time, the clouds in the sky became darker again. The twilight was hazy, and the scene in front of his eyes was covered with a layer of mist like smoke and dreams. The clusters of begonias in the corner seemed to be burning, gorgeous and gorgeous, People can't move their eyes.

He pointed to Haitang and said, "Dig up this flower."

Xiaoqing: "Huh?"

Yu Fangzhi's voice was calm: "Change to someone who is not so eye-catching."
