Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 631: The 23rd year of Zhenguan, cowhide

The weather is still cold, and fine snowflakes float from time to time, which somewhat moisturizes the dry yellow land.

The wheat seedlings are growing vigorously, ushering in the new trend of the 23rd year of Zhenguan.

In Dunhuafang, many sheds have been built along the street to provide shelter from wind and snow. The tables, stools, and bowls and chopsticks in the sheds are all eye-catching.

Lu Yisheng was still in good order, allowing the people to get married as usual, and no one said anything wrong. At most, they just chose a few days.

The children and girls in the workshop, led by Fan Baili, Fan Mingqian and Lu Feijia, went to the warm water basin to wash their faces and hands one by one. They pretended to straighten their clothes and filed in along the entrance of the shed. Sit down on the bench.

Lu Yisheng came over and took a look: "Come on, the waiter has taken care of you very well! Let them sit down first!"

Rules are rules, but few people use strict rules to ask children. Isn't greed the nature of children?

Except for arranging two women to carry vegetables and pick fish bones for the children, no one paid much attention to them.

No way, for many children, fish bones are a hurdle they can't get around. If they are not careful, they will get stuck in their throats.

Children should try not to eat fish without an adult around, as most of the thin thorns cannot be picked out by them.

Fan Baili clasped his hands together: "I wish the newlyweds a happy marriage!"

Fan Mingqian and Lu Feijia, along with Wa'er and Sister Wazi, read out this blessing.

No matter what era we are in, the blessings from innocent children and girls are the most endearing.

The newlyweds are not here, but there are always people who spread the blessings of Fan Baili and others, and every baby and girl present is more favored by the residents.

Who doesn't like a smart, sensible, kind-hearted kid, but likes a kid who goes around destroying and misbehaving?

For children, eating dinner is the happiest thing.

Even if they come from a family like Fan Baili and Fan Mingqian, and their cooking skills are good, they still feel good at cooking. This is nature.

Perhaps, what you covet is not only the taste of the food, but also the fun of getting together with your friends.

Food without words does not exist here. No one can stop a group of children from chattering. It is amazing that Fan Baili can make them eat in order.

Many times, it was chickens and ducks talking, but this did not prevent the happy laughter from floating in the shed.

"Brother, I want to eat crispy pork." Fan Mingqian shouted.

The crispy pork was not just fried, but sliced ​​and boiled in the soup. It was soft and delicious and melted in your mouth. However, it was located far away from Fan Mingqian and could not reach it with his short hands.

Fan Baili stood up slowly, and the chief took some crispy pork with a spoon into Fan Mingqian's bowl. Fan Mingqian suddenly smiled broadly, lowered his head and said "Ah woo" and ate a piece of crispy pork in one bite.

The woman in the shed smiled and said: "If the scholar takes care of the minister, he will have no worries in this life! Why doesn't the minister fish out all the crispy meat for the scholar to eat? At worst, the old woman will add another bowl."

Fan Baili said with a smile: "My mother-in-law said, don't be partial to food, so if I like to eat crispy meat, I can't just eat this dish. Furthermore, no matter how many dishes you like to eat, you are not allowed to monopolize it. You must share it with your friends."

The mother-in-law sighed: "Tutors like this deserve to be rich and powerful for generations to come!"

Lu Yisheng sucked off a piece of trembling meat, nodded and said, "That's right. Fan Baili has been the most reasonable since he was a child."

Well, occasionally Fan Baili would use his fists and kicks to reason.

An unfamiliar young scholar raised his feet to enter the shed, but he bumped into a body like an iron tower.

Lu Yisheng came from the side and looked at the scholar: "Brother, you are very handsome. Where do you come from?"

The scholar raised his eyebrows and said with great air: "I am Tang Yiguo, a scholar from Tanzhou. I came to Beijing to take the exam. I was ordered by my brother to bring some gifts to Marquis Huarong."

Lei Shisan snorted: "When you're seated, go to his shed. It's inconvenient here."

No one cared whether he followed the gift or not. Many of the scholars who rented houses in Dunhuafang also had free meals.People left their hometowns and were humble, so at dinner parties (banquets) in Dunhuafang, there were often guests who were Han (people working outside) and scholars (who failed in school) who were short of money and came to eat and drink, but no one paid attention to them.

Man, who doesn’t have ups and downs?
When Lu Yisheng heard about the gift, he just smiled.

The Wutou Gate of the Hou Mansion is no obstacle to the residents. If you are a stranger giving gifts, haha, you can't even enter the temple gate with a pig's head.

Tang Yiguo sat somewhere else and boasted: "I follow my brother Tang Yidian, but I don't come from Yongzhou!"

Laughter abounds.

As we all know, Yongzhou Biejia is Fan Zheng of Dunhuafang, so why did he become Tang Yidian?

But no one corrected him, just brag as much as you like.

After drinking and eating well, Tang Yiguo was full of big talk, and he dared to declare on behalf of Tang Yidian that he would be exempted from the mediocre rent in Dunhuafang, but he did not know that in the eyes of the residents, he had become a buffoon.

As for Wutoumen, even if Tang Yiguo's tongue shines like a lotus flower, Lei Jiu and others will not let him set foot in it.
-
Yongzhou Second Hall.

Tang Yi Dian bowed his head with sincerity and fear.

Gua Luo's relatives uttered arrogant words in their residence. Although Fan Zheng did not take responsibility, Tang Yidian was uneasy.

"Don't forgive me, my younger brother is just a show off, and he never knows how high the sky is."

Tang Yidian was about to cry.

The key point is that this problem is not unique to Tang Yi State. Many people in Tanzhou have this problem.

When a Liu Cao Zuo is born in the family, he can be praised as a Ming Dynasty to the outside world, regardless of how much trouble this big talk will cause to the Liu Cao Zuo!
What's more, he went to the Mingfu family and boasted that his baby was Mingfu!

If it was an ordinary or junior person, he might be able to reprimand him, but what about the mother-in-law of this troublemaker?
Harmful!
Therefore, it is difficult for local officials in Tanzhou to move up, and this is often the reason!
Fan Zheng sighed: "It's really not easy for Tanzhou to produce Ouyang Shuigeng (Ouyang Xun) and you!"

This trend of bullshit will inevitably affect the future of officials born in Tanzhou.

Fan Zheng can ignore it, it is impossible for everyone to have such magnanimity.

It's natural to have a secret fire in your belly and kill your future.

How many officials are there who are orphans and have no relatives to drag them down?

After the incident was revealed, Tang Yidian gritted his teeth secretly. He must deal with these slave brothers severely when he goes back. They dare to brag about anything!

Tang Yiguo really came to take the exam and really gave something to Fan Zheng. This was indeed true.

It was just some grandma's dishes. Tang Yidian remembered that Fan Zheng liked to eat them, so he specially asked him to bring them from Tanzhou.

However, Tang Yiguo wanted to bypass Tang Yidian and join Fan Zheng alone, so he had to admire his courage.

"I would like to ask you for advice. Is this the kind of roll betting that I don't want to do?"

Although Tang Yidian was annoyed, he had to throw stones to ask for directions for his younger brother.

This is a clan relationship. If you can enjoy its benefits, you will inevitably bear its disadvantages.

Fan Zheng raised his eyebrows: "This year's Grand Master has not yet been decided. If I want to come to the Imperial Academy, Linghu Jijiu, the Gao Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Malangzhong of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Secretary of the Central Committee, there will always be someone who can get involved."

Linghu Defen, Gao Jifu, Ma Qian and Chu Suiliang may indeed be related to the imperial examination.

I didn’t mention the Ministry of Rites, but it was because of the imperial examinations at that time or the Ministry of Personnel.
