Chapter 15 Shining Days

It turned out that the conversation at the table had been transferred from the officialdom to the literary market, so naturally, we would inevitably talk about the little Mr. Fan, who was famous all over the world last year. Fan Xian pretended to sip the wine glass, but was preparing to do so. If this guy dared to say something bad about him, he would pour the glass of wine in his hand out to relieve his depression.

Unexpectedly, he saw Shi Chan standing up, his face showed a peach blossom look, and his mouth was chanting the stingy words. He said sadly: "I have read the collection of Ban Xianzhai poems for several months. How can I read the poems of others in the future? How can I still have the courage to put the pen and put it on the paper? Although there are a few poems, I still feel a little strange, but Xiao Fan is ahead, so why can Xiao Shi handle it? How sad is he?

Fan Xian smiled and thought of the cute people who criticized the leaders for not paying attention to resting.

Hou Jichang said dissatisfiedly: "Poetry and prose are heretics, what is the help of governing the country?" After saying this, he turned to Fan Xian who had been neglected for a long time and asked for help, "I wonder what Mr. Fan wants to do?" He suddenly couldn't help but look at Fan Xian again, and suddenly said with a roar, "So it's you!"

Fan Xian was shocked again and wondered if he was recognized by the other party? The lights in the examination school were not very bright. Apart from a silly person like Yang Wanli, who dared to look directly at him and talk with his eyes, there were really not many people who dared to look at the face of the examiner.

Hou Jichang's next sentence came very quickly: "I used to pass by Mr. Fan on the way to buy wine."

Fan Xian immediately remembered that the other party was the scholar carrying two pots of wine. For some reason, just such a small matter, Hou Jichang immediately seemed much more intimate with Fan Xian and began to speak eagerly. Not only Fan Xian felt a little strange, but even Shi Chanli was a little confused.

"Young Master Fan is the same as that little master Fan. Why not talk about your opinion on the Banxianzhai poetry collection."

"It's just a way to pick up the wisdom of our predecessors." No matter how thick-skinned Fan Xian was, he was always embarrassed to praise him in front of others.

Who knew that Shi Chanli was angry when he heard this, put his chopsticks on his shoulders and said, "Is Mr. Fan also like that of the Zhuang Zhuang? I was so proud of Zhuang Mohan's character, but I didn't expect to be a confused old thief. If Mr. Fan reads poetry and books at all, he should not say such absurd and ridiculous remark."

Fan Xian was stunned. Only then did he realize that he had already established an unbreakable position in the minds of the scholar of Qing Kingdom. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Why is this big difference when he saw him speechless. Seeing that he was speechless, Shi Chanli was blown away by the drunkenness and scolded: "The two young men with the same surname Fan, why is this big difference?"

At this moment, Yang Wanli finally woke up under Cheng Jialin's service. The beautiful face of Fan Xian was in his eyes. He was so scared that he quickly stood up and said to Fan Xian: "Master Fan... How could he be here?"

"Mr. Fan? Who is Mr. Fan?" The other three guys at the table couldn't help but be confused. I wonder why Yang Wanli was so nervous.

Yang Wanli smiled bitterly and said, "This is the one mentioned earlier, Lord Fan, who lets students enter the examination school... Brother Shi, aren't you the favorite poem of Banxianzhai? Why don't you come forward to pay a visit?"

Only then did Shi Chanli realize that the one he had just scolded was Fan Xian himself! The strong shock made him jump from the stool. It was not good to worship Fan Xian. It was not good not to worship him, and he looked extremely awkward. Even Hou Jichang and Cheng Xilin, who were much more calm, opened their mouths wide, looking at Fan Xian and didn't know what to say.

Today, Fan Xian has long been the most romantic figure in the hearts of all scholars, and later married the daughter of the prime minister. He became the fifth rank of the Imperial Academy at the age of seventeen. No matter from which angle, he is the most enviable object for scholars. His Banxianzhai poems have long been popular all over the world, and the image of red light floating above the clouds has been combined with the name Fan Xian.

Fan Xian smiled embarrassedly and said, "What? I was so surprised when I saw the living person?"

Hou Jichang woke up first and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that the young master is Xiao Fan. He was really rude before."

Shi Chanli's eyes shone, and he bowed deeply to Fan Xian. He said sincerely: "I hope that I can meet Mr. Yang in person today, which is a blessing to be able to meet Mr. Fan in person."

Fan Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "The exam has been completed. I don't want to stay in the mansion all the time, so I went out for a walk. I knew that Yang Wanli lived in this inn, so I came to find him. But I didn't expect that I was lucky. I listened to my brothers' opinions on the table before. Finally, this trip was worth it."

All living beings couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, thinking that they and his group of people had talked loudly in front of this great talent before. Looking back, it was indeed absurd. Even Hou Jichang, who had always been arrogant, smiled bitterly and said, "It's all Wanli, who has always been drunk."

Just at this moment, Cheng Xilin spoke slowly and finally introduced himself: "Mr. Fan, the surname of Zhong Sheng, Cheng Xilin, Lin." When he thought that he could have a relationship with this celebrity in the dynasty, Cheng Xilin, a talented man from Shandong, was nervous for no reason, and his speech was a bit bumpy.

Everyone was stunned, and then they heard the mistake in this sentence and couldn't help laughing. Cheng Xilin's face also turned red, and he didn't know how to say anything. Thanks to this laughter, it slightly diluted the shock in everyone's hearts.

Yang Wanli couldn't help but feel confused and flattered when he heard that Mr. Xiao Fan was coming to find him. He asked, "I don't know what Mr. Xiao Fan has to give."

Fortunately, these people are all sensible, and most of them have the selfish idea of ​​putting their treasures on their table in their hearts, so they didn't yell. Because the students inside and outside the inn were still drinking and having fun, no one knew that the students often mentioned Mr. Xiaofan in daily life, and were in the inn at this time, otherwise they would be very noisy and excited again.

Fan Xian originally wanted to come to Yang Wanli, but he didn't expect that this situation would be like this, so it was naturally difficult to talk deeply. After a smile, he said, "No matter what, Brother Yang is a relationship." He turned to Shi Chanli and said, "I also have a relationship with my brother." He said to Hou Jichang, "I also have a relationship with Brother Hou, so I want to remind you some things."

As soon as these words were said, even Cheng Xilin, who was not named by him, became nervous. Hou Jichang could no longer maintain a stable expression. Who would not want to find a good future for scholars? This young man can be the middle-aged man who was in the spring exam this time. He came here without avoiding suspicion. What he wanted to say is naturally extremely important.

Fan Xian paused for a moment, thought about the words and said, "The palace examination will be held on March 1st, so I still need to prepare for it."

No matter how shocked the students were, their hands in their sleeves could not help but tremble. This statement seemed ordinary, but the meaning hidden inside was very amazing. This little Lord Fan was a celebrity in the court, and there were even supreme and noble figures like Prime Minister Si Nanbo behind him. If someone could know the list of the Three A's in advance, Fan Xian must have this qualification. Since he asked several people to prepare for the palace examination, it means... he would definitely be on the list!

Fan Xian raised his finger to his lips, made a gesture of silence, and said with a smile: "No, I'm just here to remind you."

Hou Jichang was a little lost and said, "Shangshu Guo was arrested and imprisoned, and the list will definitely change."

Fan Xian responded quietly, "I can't remember Brother Cheng and Brother Shi, but Brother Hou and Brother Yang are definitely the ones." Hou and Yang were overjoyed, and no longer cared about themselves, stood up and bowed deeply to Fan Xian. He knew that from then on, this young sect master would have made a promise, unless he didn't want his future open career and prosperous future.

Cheng Xilin and Shi Chanli felt a little disappointed, but thought that Mr. Xiao Fan just couldn't remember it clearly and would not have a good result tomorrow. They all comforted themselves in their hearts.

It was obviously not a suitable occasion for speaking in the inn. Yang Wanli respectfully invited Fan Xian into the inner room of his own people, and then served the tea. After a while, he said sincerely: "Mr. Little Fan, the student asked himself that he had no money, no power, no mouth, no face, and no idea how he could get the adults to look at him, and he didn't know why he took the risk to inform him of this news."

This character without money, power, mouth, facelessness, really tells the bitterness and powerlessness of those scholars without any channels. Fan Xian smiled and shook his head and said, "You naturally know what the Qingguo Science and Technology Field looks like. Although the list of the three-level places has not yet been released, it has generally been decided. As for why I came today, I am really afraid that you will give up on yourself, not be able to do anything to deal with it. If you lose face in the palace that day, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people outside the college entrance examination that day, and there will be many people watching me put you in the college entrance examination. You might as well say that I took some small risks in this matter, but it doesn't matter."

Today, the Beijing middle school examiners were all frightened and frankly, and Fan Xian said it was okay, and the students were a little surprised.

At this point, these smart people naturally understood the significance of Fan Xian's trip. They looked at each other. Hou Jichang took a bow first and said, "Student thanked the teacher." Yang Wanli bowed again, and even Shi Chanli and Cheng Xilin no longer sat down and performed the ritual ceremony of Fan Xian as a disciple.

Fan Xian looked at the four scholars who were a few years older than him, and felt a little weird in his heart. He smiled and said, "I am not the father-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor is I the Minister of Shangshu. Moreover, I have money and will be richer in the future. So don't worry, I just value your talent and morality. As for the palace examination, as long as you enter the court as an official, as long as you are loyal and diligent and seek profit for the country, I am sure that I have not read the wrong person, so I will naturally be happy."

These words were extremely gentle and extremely cold in their bones. The four of them responded sincerely and said a few more words. Fan Xian asked clearly that the reason why He Zongwei did not participate in the spring examination this time was because the elders in his family died of illness. He sighed a few times, then said goodbye and left.

After going out, she got on the carriage. Fan Xian frowned and said to Fujiko Kyo: "Why am I still very uncomfortable with doing such things?"
