Fang Zian entered the small courtyard where Shi Ningyue lived through the hanging flower door covered with fragrant gold and silver petals. There was no one in the small courtyard. The flower bed under the corridor of the front room was full of flowers. There was a soft chair with a pillow on the flower bed. Under the corridor.

In the hanging birdcage, a thrush was jumping up and down, making sweet chirping sounds from time to time. A swing frame under a big tree nearby was swinging slowly in the sun.

Fang Zian thought someone was in the house, so he walked quickly to the corridor. Suddenly something flew from the side. Fang Zian stretched out his hand to grab it, and it turned out to be a red rose branch. Then a woman's laughter came.

Fang Zian turned around and saw Shi Ningyue twisting a blooming rose petal in her hand and leaning half of her face from the side of the rockery to smile at Fang Zian. Roses are already the most beautiful flowers when they are in full bloom.

One of them, but it did not take away Shi Ningyue's beauty at all. The human face and the rose complement each other, so beautiful that people dare not look at it. Fang Zian was stunned on the spot for a moment.

"What's wrong? Big fool." Shi Ningyue stood up while smelling the roses, but she was standing on the stone on the other side of the rockery, her whole body high up, her skirt flying in the wind.

"Be careful, how can you climb so high?" Fang Zian was shocked and rushed around the rockery, scolding repeatedly: "Are you trying to scare people to death? What will happen if you fall?"

Fang Zian was also bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Shi Ningyue's last fall had already caused him to have a stress reaction. He could not believe that Shi Ningyue dared to climb the rockery at this time. Although it was only half a person's height

, but Fang Zian's heart is hanging.

Before Shi Ningyue could defend herself, Fang Zian had already hugged her waist and lifted her down. Shi Ningyue giggled and hugged Fang Zian's head tightly, feeling extremely happy in her heart. She started from Fang Zian's

It was also apparent from his reaction that he truly cared about him.

Fang Zian put her on the ground and scolded: "Are your injuries completely healed? How dare you climb so high? What if you fall?"

Shi Ningyue pouted and said: "I just wanted to hide and seek with you. When I saw you coming, I wanted to hide and scare you. I'm completely recovered, don't worry. I'm not dizzy at all now.

The scars have faded away, and I have fully recovered.”

Fang Zian said: "You have to be careful then. The scar has fallen off? Can I take a look?"

Shi Ningyue turned around, and Fang Zian moved her hair away from the gauze shawl to check the injury on the back of her head. The wound had indeed healed completely. When she came a few days ago, the hard line on the wound was still there.

The scar has also fallen off.

"It's indeed good. This is great. It's a pity..." Fang Zian said.

"Don't say... I don't want to hear those words." Shi Ningyue shouted hurriedly.

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said, "You know what I'm going to say? Just interrupt me."

Shi Ningyue said: "If your hair is gone, it will grow back. Besides, no one can see my hair if I cover it up."

Fang Zian laughed dumbly. Shi Ningyue was really smart, or she cared about her appearance. Although the scar on the back of her head had healed, there was no hair at the scar. This was obviously something Shi Ningyue cared about. The girl naturally didn't want it.

Break it yourself.

Fang Zian felt moved, lowered his head and kissed the scar, saying softly: "It will grow out soon, don't worry about it."

Shi Ningyue turned around and leaned against Fang Zian, looked up at Fang Zian and nodded: "I know, I actually don't care."

Fang Zian took her hand and said, "Let's sit down for a while and talk."

Shi Ningyue nodded and followed Fang Zian to the corridor, where they sat opposite each other in the spring light.

"How did you know I was coming? You even hid to scare me." Fang Zian said with a smile.

Shi Ningyue smiled and said: "They reported it. When you and dad were talking in the front hall, Uncle Tong sent someone to report it to me. I asked Xiaozhu to watch at the door. I knew you were coming when you came.

So I hid and scared you."

Fang Zian nodded and smiled: "That's it."

Shi Ningyue said: "What did daddy tell you? He scolded you.

What?"

Fang Zian sighed, nodded and said, "You scolded me like a bastard."

Shi Ningyue reached out and took Fang Zian's hand, squeezed it gently, and whispered: "Poor Mr. Lang, don't be angry with my father. He will definitely scold you because he cares about me."

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said, "How could I blame him? It's my fault in the first place. When did your father come back? Did you and your mother tell him about us?"

Shi Ningyue said: "He came back last night and was very angry when he found out that I was injured. How dare my mother and I tell him about this?"

Fang Zian smacked his lips and said, "That's it. No wonder he was so surprised and angry when I had a showdown with him. I thought you and your mother had already told him."

"Ah! Did you have a showdown with him?" Shi Ningyue said in surprise.

"Yes, I told him that I want to marry you." Fang Zian said.

"What did he say?" Shi Ningyue blushed shyly.

"He said I was wishful thinking and said he would never agree." Fang Zian said.

Shi Ningyue's face turned redder, and she frowned and said, "I knew dad would be like this."

Fang Zian said: "He is worried that if you marry me, I will be frightened and tortured for the rest of my life."

Shi Ningyue shouted: "Dad, really, how could this happen? He is really unfounded."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Your father can't trust me and thinks I can't protect you. He does it out of love for you."

Shi Ningyue said: "I know, but I don't want this kind of love and protection. Did he reject you?"

Fang Zian said: "I had a quarrel with your father, and we argued hard. He seemed to be a little loose, but he didn't let go. I'm afraid I need to communicate with him more about this matter."

Shi Ningyue nodded and said: "Well, I will ask my mother to persuade him tonight. Fang Lang, I don't want my father to be unhappy. I hope he agrees to our matter willingly, not unwillingly. I

I don’t want him to be sad. So, let’s tell dad properly. My dad is a reasonable person and should be able to make sense. Don’t be anxious and don’t argue with him, okay?”

Fang Zian nodded slightly and gave up all the thoughts in his mind. He had already had the idea that if Shi Hao refused, he planned to ask Shi Ningyue to cooperate with him in the drama of making rice from raw rice to cooked rice and tell Shi Hao that the matter was over.

It was time for him to disagree. Now that he heard what Shi Ningyue said, Fang Zi'an felt that he was despicable and evil. Shi Ningyue and Shi Hao's father and daughter had a very good relationship. If he wanted her to do this, wouldn't he cause a conflict between father and daughter?

Cracks come.

"You're right. I'll go see your father later and formally apologize to him." Fang Zian said solemnly.

Shi Ningyue chuckled and said: "Thank you very much. We are not in a hurry. Anyway, I won't marry unless you, so it's good that you know my heart. Let's discuss it with dad slowly. If dad is serious

If you insist on refusing, then find other ways."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "What if your father just refuses? He won't listen no matter how hard he tries to persuade you, and he won't listen to your mother's words. What should you do?"

Shi Ningyue blinked her big eyes and said, "No, dad wouldn't be so stubborn."

"I mean what if." Fang Zian said.

"That was easy to handle, so I told him that you and I have... already... cooked rice. I can't marry anyone but you. Let's see what he does!" Shi

Ning Yue's face turned slightly red.

"Bang!" Fang Zian flipped over and fell to the ground with his chair.

…

Fang Zian did not stay at Shi Ningyue's residence for too long because he was afraid that Shi Hao would not like it. After talking for a while and confirming that Shi Ningyue had recovered, he had to say goodbye under Shi Ningyue's reluctant eyes.

At the second entrance, Shi Tong was waiting, saying that Shi Hao asked Fang Zian to meet him in the study and wanted to say a few words to him. Fang Zian quickly followed Shi Tong to Shi Hao's study.

Shi Hao was sitting in the study with a book reading. When he saw Fang Zian coming in, he signaled

He sat down and talked. Fang Zian did not dare to sit down and just stood aside. Shi Hao read two pages and then put down the book and spoke in a deep voice.

"Zian, are you sure about this spring? Yesterday, the list of all admissions to Jinke was submitted to the court. It will be announced by the end of the month at the latest. Everything has been settled. Do you think you are among them?"

Fang Zian said hurriedly: "I really don't dare to predict this, and my own predictions don't count. I'm afraid that I will lose my name because of the strategy question at the end of this exam. That Zhongxing theory was too much.

It's sensitive, and I wrote it from an inappropriate angle, so I'm a little worried."

"Oh? How did you write it? I really want to know. Do you know that I came up with the policy topic?" Shi Hao said.

Fang Zian suddenly realized that, as he had guessed, such a question was probably written by Shi Hao.

"It turns out that it was a policy topic proposed by an adult, so it's no wonder. But such a topic is really embarrassing. I struggled for a day and didn't dare to write. I originally wanted to keep it safe and write something that is not about the Song Dynasty to deal with it, but

I thought, if I did that, I would be afraid of the evil forces of the Qin Party. So I expressed my feelings directly and wrote an article "Five Essays on Zhongxing", which was based on the current situation of the Song Dynasty."

As soon as Fang Zian finished speaking, Shi Hao looked at Fang Zian in surprise and said, "You wrote the Five Treatises on ZTE? Do you still remember the content of the article?"

Fang Zian said: "I wrote it myself, how could I not remember it?"

Shi Hao said: "You memorize a section."

Fang Zian thought for a while, then raised his head and recited: "I have been devastated by theft for more than forty years. I have to cry out without complaining, so I have to save it; the country, because of the shame of the mausoleum, has to save it; the mausoleum has to be returned.

"The public domain cannot be lost. We all know this three-foot-old boy, but we are only afraid of his strong ears..."

After hearing these words, Shi Hao's face first changed color, and then became surprised. He laughed and said: "Is this an article written by you? Hahaha, what a coincidence. It turns out to be your article. This is too

What a coincidence."

Fang Zian wondered: "Master Shi, what's so coincidental?"

Shi Hao smiled but did not answer, stroking his beard and thinking: You boy, you are really lucky. I broke up with someone because of your article. I thought it was some talented person, but it turned out to be you. Boy, you

You are so lucky. You almost lost your reputation. Fortunately, I discovered that article and was selected as a Jinshi.

After learning that Fang Zian was the author of that article, Shi Hao was very happy. In other words, Fang Zian was already determined to be among the first-class Jinshi in high school. He was originally worried about whether Fang Zian would win, but now

But there is no need to worry about this at all. After the answer sheet is circled, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Etiquette to make a list of the candidates' names, and then submitted to the emperor for review. These are just formalities. Unless there are special accidents, after the answer sheet is circled, it is already confirmed. So,

Fang Zian is actually already a first-class Jinshi.

But Shi Hao had no intention of telling Fang Zian the news now. This kid had offended him and almost killed his daughter. If he hadn't made up for it by transfusion and saved Ning Yue, he would have punished this guy at all costs. Now let him suffer for a few days.

, not telling him the news. But on the other hand, Fang Zian was already in high school, and his identity has been different since then. Shi Hao suddenly felt that Fang Zian might really be a good son-in-law for Ningyue to marry. He really gave it to him.

I was pleasantly surprised, and it turned out that I was not bragging. The article was also written with great literary talent and magnanimity. Maybe I really shouldn’t object to this matter.

"Master Shi, what's wrong with you?" Fang Zian saw Shi Hao looking weird and asked hurriedly.

Shi Hao waved his hand and said: "Nothing, nothing, the writing is good. Well... you go back, I have some things to do here, let's talk about it later."

Fang Zian scratched his head. Shi Hao suddenly issued an order to expel guests again, which was really confusing. So he raised his hands and said, "Then I'll take my leave. Mr. Shi, my words just now were very offensive. I solemnly apologize once again. Mr. Shi, please don't do it."

Be angry."
