Feng Xing

Chapter 21:

"Really?" Zong Yue, who was sitting at the top, sneered.

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can go to our Fang's Ancestral Hall to check the genealogy, but the students are curious, why is His Highness so persistent about the student's identity? Is it true that His Highness mistook the student for a sister? Then the students are curious Now, where did His Highness make friends with his sister? You should know that a woman's reputation is as big as the sky, and His Highness must never insult a woman's reputation. Even if the student is just an ordinary person, he will definitely seek justice for his sister. "

The topic was brought back by Feng Sheng again, where did Zong Yue meet Fang Fengsheng, and why did he persist in Fang Fengsheng?

Can Zong Yue speak?

Of course not.

"...You are a majestic prince who shamelessly tried to take over your minister's wife...

"...If the matter is known to the Holy One, how disappointed he will be with the third prince! If this matter is known to the people outside, what is the difference between the third prince and the bully who robs the women..."

A guard walked in from the outside, and lowered his head to report: "Your Highness, the prefect of Du is here, and with him is the former Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zanshan, now the prefect of Taizhou County Fan Jinchuan."

"Let them in."

The guard stepped back.

Not long after, Du Mingliang came in with Fan Jinchuan.

"I have seen the Third Highness."

Fan Jinchuan bowed his hands in salute, looked up, and saw Fang Fengsheng standing beside him, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Brother Fang Xian?"

"Brother Fan."

"How did you—"

Feng Sheng looked helpless: "I had some misunderstandings with His Highness the Third Highness, now I have explained it clearly, and I am planning to leave."

There was a soft sound of teacups colliding from above, which attracted everyone to look over.

It was Zong Yue who put the teacup back on the small table.

"Brother Fang Xian, take a step slowly. Brother, wait until I see His Highness the Third Highness. Later, we will go drink together."

"Then I'll go outside and wait for Brother Fan."

Fan Jinchuan nodded.

Feng Sheng pretended to be innocent and cupped his hands above: "Third Highness, the student will retreat first."

Dewang wanted to cover his face.

He witnessed the whole process, and saw with his own eyes how this person blocked His Highness into speechless. His Highness didn't say anything to let him go, but she was able to talk to herself like this.

Dewang took a glance at Zong Yue, the matter had developed to the point where even he wasn't sure if the person in front of him was the daring Fang Fengsheng.

"Go down."

Feng Sheng blinked at Fan Jinchuan, then backed away.

Seeing Fan Jinchuan still looking out the door, Du Mingliang couldn't help coughing.

Fan Jinchuan came back to his senses, and smiled at Zong Yue, "I never thought that I would meet Your Highness when I came to Yangzhou to visit friends."

Du Mingliang explained: "Zijin went to Taizhou to take office, passed by Yangzhou, and greeted the teacher, who knew that when he left, His Highness arrived, and the next official thought that Taichuan was familiar with His Highness, so he was called back. I originally wanted to invite him to accompany and hold a banquet for His Highness, but who would have thought that he, a nerd, would meet someone for a drink in front of His Highness."

He said to Fan Jinchuan again: "You are really a person, His Highness is here, and you can ignore it."

This made Fan Jinchuan a little embarrassed, but he still said: "There are rules in the court that courtiers are not allowed to make friends with the prince. If you still hold the post of Zuo Zanshan, you can also use the name of giving lectures to the princes to make friends with His Highness." But now that he is a local official, it's better to avoid it."

It's embarrassing to say this. I don't know if Zong Yue is embarrassed or not. At least Du Mingliang is embarrassed.

Also, courtiers should not make friends with the prince, and it is a taboo, is this referring to the monk and scolding the bald donkey? But it happened that the person who spoke was Fan Jinchuan, which really made people feel angry.

Because everyone in the court knew that Fan Jinchuan was such a stubborn and extremely pedantic person.

Because of his pedantry, Long Yan was furious several times, but he cherished talents and was not willing to punish him. However, a person with his personality obviously couldn't enjoy it in the officialdom, so he has been sitting on the bench in the Hanlin Academy. He has been an official in the court for six years, but he still does idle work and has not been reused.

Including this time, he was transferred from Zuo Zanshan, the sixth-rank Zuochunfang, to a seventh-rank magistrate in the local area. In the eyes of many people, it means being demoted.

Otherwise, the good emperor's close minister, Qinggui Hanlin, will not do it, and go to Taizhou as a county magistrate in a right and wrong place?

Taizhou is a good place, but the county magistrate of Taizhou is not easy.

Moreover, according to Fan Jinchuan's resume, he was the 17th Jinshi and ranked first in the palace examination, and won the third place in the palace examination. In all dynasties, such talents have to be raised in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and then follow the established route, serve as noble officials, serve as the emperor's close ministers, until they enter the cabinet.

I haven't seen anyone released outside yet, so I'm still a seventh-rank magistrate.

So for a person with such a personality, no one will be surprised by what he says or does.

At least Zong Yue was not surprised.

He said indifferently: "There is no need to host a banquet. Our palace is exhausted and a little tired. You all retreat."

"Yes."

After Du Mingliang and Fan Jinchuan both retreated, Decai came to Zong Yue's feet and knelt down.

"Your Highness, the servant was careless and forgot to look up Fang's family tree."

"Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you. If there is nothing wrong, how can you check other people's genealogy at will." After a pause, Zong Yue asked: "From your point of view, what she said is not true?"

Decai stood up and pondered: "Since she dared to say it, she must have been prepared. If she said what she said today, the servant guessed that Fang Yan's son who died young was likely to be played by her alone. At the beginning The servant found it strange that the time Fang Fengfu disappeared from the public was exactly when it was rumored that this girl was going to get married, but the servant ignored it.

"And it is said that the two brothers and sisters are twin brothers and sisters. Because they are twins, they have been weak since childhood, and they rarely appear in front of people. However, everyone outside knows that Fang Yan has an extremely intelligent son. He was selected as a scholar when he was twelve. The woman's reputation is not obvious, only such a person is known to the outside world, but few people have seen it."

Zong Yue didn't speak.

Decai asked: "Your Highness, do you want the servant to order someone to investigate?"

"No. Even if you want to check the past, it's just hearsay. Fang Yan is the patriarch of the Fang clan. Adding a few strokes to the genealogy is just a random thing."

Dewang interjected: "Fang's family can be interrogated."

Decai glanced at him with silly, white and sweet eyes: "There is no evidence and no evidence. Your Highness is not easy to attract people's attention. How can I interrogate? Last time I went, I already frightened the snake, so even if the Fang family knew something, they would definitely Hide it for her."

"I can't figure it out, is that really Fang Fengsheng? Then her Adam's apple, even if she's disguised as a man, can she also pretend?"

Zong Yue didn't speak, and it was Decai who answered for him: "The world is so big, there are no surprises. Some people who go out of the world to engage in heresy methods are amazing, and it's not difficult to simply disguise themselves."

"But why is she so bold, daring to say those words in front of Master."

Because she was sure that Zong Yue would not expose her.

Mentioning this, Zong Yue's face turned dark again.

"Go and find out how she and Fan Jinchuan met."

"Yes."

"I never thought that brother Yu and brother virtuous are so destined to meet each other here."

"No, I didn't expect to meet Brother Fan either."

After leaving the government office, Fang Fengsheng and Fan Jinchuan found a restaurant.

One private room, one table of food and wine, enough for two people to drink and chat.

"Just now I saw that my virtuous brother was a bit unspeakable. But what happened?"

Feng Sheng was actually a little surprised that Fan Jinchuan would find out about this, because this person gave her the impression that he was more than upright and more than pedantic.

"Brother Fan saw it? There is indeed something wrong."

"Can you tell Brother Yu? Maybe I can help Brother Xian relieve his worries."

Feng Sheng glanced at him, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the Third Prince has taken a fancy to me and wants to recruit me to be a guest in his house."

"Qing Ke? When I left Beijing, I heard that the Holy Majesty had issued a decree to allow His Highness the Third Highness to enter the court for official business, and built a mansion outside the palace. It is not impossible to attract some Qing Ke."

Qing Ke and staff are usually discussed together, but they are actually two types of people.

Qing Ke is a leisurely literati raised by a wealthy family. He chats with him, plays chess and plays the piano with him, and occasionally helps out with advice. And the staff is literally meaning, generally speaking, the staff should be valued more by the master.

However, many high-ranking and wealthy households have more than one or two such people, and they all call their staff too eye-catching, so they use the guise of being a clean-up customer, calling them elegant and elegant, in an attempt to get away with it.

"Your brother is not willing?"

Feng Sheng didn't speak.

"Brother Yu, can you ask why the virtuous brother is unwilling? When His Highness the Third Highness enters the court on business, the virtuous brother will have a bright future by his side."

"The sky is rich and noble, and the sky is full of wealth and wealth, but this wealth and wealth also represents danger."

Fan Jinchuan was stunned, and praised: "My virtuous brother is very wise."

"It's not worthy of Brother Fan's praise, but it's just a matter of self-knowledge."

"What did the third prince say? Did you tell him you didn't want it?"

Feng Sheng smiled wryly: "How dare you refuse to talk to such a person, I haven't thanked Brother Fan for helping me out today."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Feng Sheng didn't speak, filled the wine for him, and poured it for himself.

The two drank it all in one gulp, and Feng Sheng filled it up for each other.

Fan Jinchuan glanced at Feng Sheng, and said: "If the virtuous brother doesn't dislike it, the foolish brother has a way."

"What method?"

"Brother Yu is going to take office in Taizhou in the near future, but brother Yu has stayed in the Imperial Academy all year round and has never been in contact with local affairs. Brother Fang Xian has a long history of family education, and he was recruited by the third highness as a Qing guest. There must be something special about him. If Xian I don't mind you, but you can act as my master for the time being, when the time comes, His Highness the Third Highness will naturally have excuses."

Feng Sheng never expected that this Fan Jinchuan was so cute, she was thinking of how to find an excuse to stay by Fan Jinchuan's side, but he sent him to her door.

Seeing that Feng Sheng didn't speak, Fan Jinchuan seemed a little anxious, and grabbed her arm: "Your brother is unwilling? Actually, it's just a temporary excuse. If you don't want to, you can leave on your own after dealing with the Third Highness. In fact Guessing that Brother Yu is unwilling, Brother Xian is very smart, obviously he has not given up on his career, but being Brother Yu's master is not without benefits, although Brother Yu is a bit dull, but the writing is excellent, worthy of the Holy Majesty I have been praised many times, and with Brother Yu’s guidance, Brother Yu will get twice the result with half the effort in the future.”

"Wait, wait, I can't understand what Brother Fan said. Does Brother Fan want me to be your master, or does he not? He said that I can leave on my own, and then seduced me with pointers?"
