Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 77 Jiangnan Talent

   Wipe? snort! Is this young master such a person? This young master is romantic but not nasty, okay?

In his heart, even though Fang Jifan had a feeling of love at first sight, it was unacceptable for him to really eat human tofu. In the past, he had no choice but to eat Xiaoxiangxiang tofu, although this behavior has become a habit. It has become natural, and deep in Fang Jifan's heart, he despises such behavior. A man should be upright!

  Leaving the dormitory all the way, and then leaving the palace, when they arrived outside Chongwenmen, they saw two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling waiting here with bruised noses and swollen faces.

  Seeing the appearance of these two uncles, Fang Jifan knew that Empress Zhang also had a ruthless side. This is actually understandable. When others bully her brother, a sister must protect her weaknesses, but it doesn't mean that she can't be beaten.

  Zhang Heling had a melancholy look on his face. Although his swollen cheeks made him less sad, it was more of a sense of humor. Fang Jifan greeted them all the way: "Hi, you two uncles."

  Getting closer, Zhang Heling looked at Fang Jifan angrily and speechlessly: "Sister ordered, let us two brothers admit your mistake."

   "It's okay, this junior forgives the two uncles."

   "..."

  Both Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling were speechless.

  Heart cut like a knife.

  Zhang Heling pondered for a long time: "I have something, can I discuss it."

   "Please tell me." Fang Jifan suppressed a smile.

  Zhang Heling said sadly: "You see we have been beaten like this, can we pay for some medicine?"

   "..." This time it was Fang Jifan's turn to be speechless.

  These two uncles have strange skeletons, they are really gods and men, this person should only exist in the sky.

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "No compensation."

  Zhang Heling was at a loss for words.

  Zhang Yanling couldn't help but said, "Can you make some sense?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "No."

"Actually... it's okay to give three to five hundred Wen, just take it as a way of saving face, or a hundred Wen is fine." Zhang Heling was not reconciled, saying that the Zhang family brothers had plucked wild goose, but I don't know what happened recently. Bad luck, one after another, made him feel a deep sense of frustration, as if Fang Jifan hadn't asked Fang Jifan to pay for some medical care or settlement expenses, the personality and bottom line that he had abided by for many years would be gone.

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "No."

  This is very unreasonable.

   Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, with bruised nose and swollen face, looked at each other. Both Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling bared their teeth, and complained together: "Stingy!"

  Looked at Fang Jifan contemptuously. The two brothers seemed not to dare to cause trouble anymore, so they turned around and left. Zhang Yanling muttered in a low voice, "Brother, why do you think this guy is not stupid at all."

Zhang Heling looked up expressionlessly, looking at the long-lost sunset and the cold streets, as if mourning for them. The remaining snow on the roof and the magnificent palace walls dotted his eyes. Yes, he tried his best to calm down: "Be calm, don't get angry, anger can attack the heart, if the heart is damaged, it needs medicine!"

   "Brother is very reasonable." Zhang Yanling smiled hard: "I should be very happy if I say it this way, at least I can save some medicine money. Ha...haha...smile more..."

After Zhang Heling finally calmed down, he was completely irritated by this mentally retarded brother. He felt his IQ being repeatedly rubbed on the ground. Suddenly, he felt his heart stop suddenly, and with a pop, his mouth A mouthful of old blood spewed out of his mouth, and he grabbed Zhang Yanling furiously and beat him up: "Our land is gone, idiot! We lost a lot of rice by stealing chickens, idiot! You can laugh like this, God, the Zhang family How could you be such an unworthy son, if the ancestors knew, they would have to climb out of the tomb and beat you to death, idiot!"

  Punched down with fists and kicks, heartbroken, Zhang Yanling hugged his head and wailed!

  …

  There are too many things in life that Fang Jifan cannot predict.

  For example, he became the prince's companion.

  As I read this, I don’t know if it is considered an official, but obviously, Fang Jifan has officially joined the inner circle of Zhan Shifu.

Zhan Shi's Mansion is not as simple as the prince's palace. In fact, it is still an institution. In this institution, there are not only a group of scumbags headed by Liu Jin, but also a group of Hanlin and Confucian scholars headed by Yang Tinghe. This is actually the main team of the future prince. , which is equivalent to the six ministries in Nanjing, all belong to the reserve cadres of the imperial court.

  In addition to having no power, everyone's official position is not high, it seems that everything is good, at least...it brings hope to people.

Fang Jifan felt that he was very hopeful now. Apart from going to study with Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan yawned and felt sleepy when he heard Yang Tinghe began to sit and discuss the Tao. Well, can't sleep.

Yang Tinghe's self-cultivation is actually very good, he is no longer angry, no matter what you Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan do, he is still holding the book, shaking his head and reading, the prince teacher has the difficulties of the prince teacher, he can only hope to influence the prince with his heart, hope one day, The prince can turn around and be right.

  Hmm...It is similar to using love to generate electricity.

Seeing that the end of the new year is approaching, when he returned to the mansion, Deng Jian was pulled aside by the door, and then excitedly came to Fang Jifan, and said in a low voice: "Master, the person you want to inquire about, I found out, this Tang Yin, he lives At the Laifu Inn, it's not far from our home..."

Earlier, Fang Jifan had instructed Deng Jian to inquire about Tang Bohu's whereabouts, because spring is spring, and scholars from the south of the Yangtze River often come to Beijing early if they want to take part in the examination. The times are difficult, and it may not be possible to reach them in a few months. Moreover, once encountering floods or getting sick on the way, time may be delayed, so no one dares to face this important exam. .

  In fact, by the end of the year, candidates from all over the country have almost arrived at the capital, and they are gathered together, sharpening their knives one by one, waiting for the exam to start.

   Tang Bohu should also have arrived in Beijing at this time.

Fang Jifan doesn't know how other people are, but he always feels that Tang Bohu, who has been baptized by countless film and television dramas, is his half idol, and now he is in great trouble. Ignore it, but Brother Bohu, I want to save you!

What Fang Jifan is most worried about now is that Tang Bohu is hanging out with people like Xu Jing at this time. Fang Jifan doesn't know whether Xu Jing is innocent or not, and whether he really participated in the fraud, but it is absolutely impossible for Tang Bohu to participate. of.

Since he was wronged, the biggest possibility is that he got too close to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites involved in the case, Cheng Minzheng, one of the examiners of this exam, and Xu Jing, the examinee, and Tang Bohu, who has a chic temper, doesn't matter if he talks Obstruction, once there is a relationship, it is difficult to guarantee that the melon fields will fall, and it will be difficult to clear the suspicion.

Then...the only way is to prevent people like Tang Bohu and Xu Jing from hanging out together during the days when they arrived in the capital, but...it's not easy. Well, now that he has become famous, even if he doesn't go to join others in the fun, others will probably come to his side.

   "Laifu Inn? Who are the people living with him?"

Deng Jian didn't know why the young master was so interested in a person named Tang Yin, but it was hard to guess the young master's thoughts. Although he felt a little suspicious, he still said obediently: "Because many candidates have arrived in Beijing recently, all the inns have been closed. Man, it is said that he came with many fellow countrymen, but he was alone in that inn and did not live with his fellow countrymen."

  Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Tang Bohu and Xu Jing had gone north to catch the exam, and he was afraid that they would live together. Now that they don't live together, it would be much better.

  The problem now is to isolate the connection between Tang Bohu and Xu Jing.

  Fang Jifan immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Let's go to Laifu Inn."

   "Ah..." Deng Jian said in surprise, "Master, don't you eat?"

   "Don't eat." Fang Jifan acted resolutely, I want to be a good person and good deed.

  Deng Jian pitifully touched his stomach, he was hungry.

Without further ado, Fang Jifan ordered the coachman to prepare a car, and took Deng Jian to the Laifu Inn in a hurry. It was already evening. Although there was no snow these days, the weather at night was still bitingly cold. It was a few blocks away from Fang's house, it was the first light of day, and it was lively here, Fang Jifan got out of the car, and a person walked out of the inn unexpectedly, almost bumped into Fang Jifan who was about to enter the inn.

   This is a scholar, tall and thin, wearing a Confucian shirt and a scarf. His appearance is not outstanding, but he has a sense of chic and elegant.

  Deng Jian muttered in a low voice: "Master, this is Tang Yin."
