Xu Shijiao, the prefect of Shaoxing, wanted to help Yao Fu when he received money to help others eliminate disasters. After all, Yao Fu gave him 500 taels of silver, and Yao Fu also wrote to him in the name of his cousin Yao Jiali.
I wrote a letter asking him to take care of his cousin Yunyun. Yao Chengli and he were Jinshi in the same ranking, and they had some friendship. But in this situation, Yao Fu was already doomed to lose. If Zhang Yuan was just a child of an ordinary family, then
Xu Shijin could use both soft and hard tactics to suppress Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Rushuang and Wang Siren were sitting nearby, and Liu Zongzhou, who presided over this so-called eight-legged gathering, also favored the young Zhang Yuan. More importantly, the Confucian scholars inside and outside Minglun Hall,
The people outside the gate of Confucianism have completely swung to Zhang Yuan's side. Yao Fu's character was corrupt and he was despised by others. If he tried to challenge Yao Fu now, it would be an outrage. How could he, Xu Shijin, be so stupid!
But if there was no expression at all and it couldn't be justified, Xu Shijin said: "Mr. Qidong said that among the students in the east, if anyone thinks that the writing skills of this article are not good, please stand in the west. I think it is better to change it. Everyone in the east has
Whoever thinks that this article is of excellent craftsmanship and deserves the approval of the vast majority of sentient beings, please stand on the first page of the West, Mr. Qidong?"
Wang Siren secretly said: "It seems that the gift from Yao Fu is not cheap. Xu Shijin is so partial to him. Xu Shijin is a cunning old man. This is a strategy that can only be thought up by those who are well versed in the ways of power and conspiracy. There seems to be no difference after such a change."
Big, in fact, the difference is huge, it all depends on the subtle grasp of people's hearts. "But this is only useful when both sides are evenly matched. Now, hey, it's all in vain."
Zhang Rushuang was a little annoyed, but she still held back and didn't speak.
Liu Zongzhou said angrily: "Okay, just follow what Xu Fuzun said" and asked Yao Fu: "Yao Sheng, what else do you have to say?"
Yao Fu saw that Xu Shijin did not support him in making small pieces of paper to determine the outcome. He complained, but he had no choice but to hold his hands and said, "But it's up to the Lord of the Palace to make the decision."
Liu Zongzhou said to the students in the East: "You have read the books of sages and have a clear understanding of ethics and etiquette. Today we are here in the Minglun Hall of the academy. However, you can make your decision based on the laws of heaven and conscience and not be influenced by other things. I think Zhang Yuan's craftsmanship of this piece is the best."
With the approval of the overwhelming majority of you, "please stand at the west end." After saying this, he looked at everyone with bright eyes.
Of course Zhang Dai was the first to go out, and a dozen students immediately followed him to the west end, and then more than ten people walked over one after another. There were still 19 people who stayed at the east end. These 19 people hesitated.
Suspicious, he looked around at the nearly two hundred wedding guests from the county and other counties standing outside Minglun Hall. They all stared at the nineteen people in the east. The nineteen people looked at each other, and three more people walked toward the west. Yao Fu
When he saw it, he became anxious. The remaining nineteen people were the ones he had given generous gifts to. They were going to the west. As soon as these three people walked over, there were more than thirty-five people supporting Zhang Yuan!
Yao Fu was so shameless and fearless that he stopped the three of them and bowed to each other: "Brother Fang, Brother Wei, and Brother Yu" with a smile on his face, but he almost didn't say "Three of you have received generous gifts from me."
After saying a few words, the three of them looked at each other and thought, wow, they are still blocking the road. All the officials in the hall were looking at them. The three of them divided themselves to the left and right, bypassed Yao Fu, and seemed to be escaping to Xilie, for fear that Yao Fu would catch them.
put.
In this way, Zhang Yuan has won.
But the matter is not over yet, the remaining sixteen people are like water bursting from the embankment, walking towards the west end one after another."
In the end, even Yang Shangyuan, who was red-headed and bare-headed, left. Yang Shangyuan was not a fool. What's the use of sticking alone? Is it a joke to others? So he didn't care about his cousin's sad, angry and fierce eyes. He lowered his head and walked quickly to Xilie.
The east verandah was empty, not a single person was left. It turned out that people were deserted and separated from their relatives. Is this what it was like?
The cheers from the students outside the hall were like thunder, and the cheers quickly spread to outside the Yimen. Outside the Confucianism gate, many people, whether intentional or unintentional, motivated by indignation, and just watching the fun, cheered and talked one after another: "Wonderful"
Extremely, Zhang Yuan and Mr. Zhang won a great victory in eight-gut, and now Yao Fu’s turban will be recorded.”
, "Have you recorded it?" Have you recorded it?"
, "I must record it, Yao Heixin goes in wearing a square scarf and a thick shirt" and comes out with a red head and Tsing Yi, wow haha, it's so satisfying!"
"..."
Shang Danran, who was by the Guangxiang Bridge, heard the cheers and knew that the overall situation had been decided, so he said, "Sister-in-law, let's go back."
Mrs. Fu said "hmm" and opened the curtains to tell a maid. The maid went over to tell Shang Zhoude. Shang Zhoude called to his two nieces and said: "1 Bu Lan, 1 Bu Wei, we should go home."
.
Shang Jinghui said in surprise: "Are you going back soon? Uncle, let's go back after Mr. Zhang comes out. 1 Bu Wei wants to ask Mr. Zhang something."
Shang Zhoude said: "Master Zhang may be afraid that he won't be able to get out for a while. We can't wait here forever. My uncle is so tired."
Shang Jinghui said hurriedly: "Uncle, let's get in the car and have a rest. My tui is not sore at all." After saying this, Qu Tui jumped up and expressed that her tui was not sore, and asked Shang Jinglan: "My sister's tui is not sore at all."
?”
Shang Jinglan said: "I can't do it either." Shang Jinglan said that Mr. Zhang's brother has no younger sister.
The reason why she has such great interests is because it is rare for her to go out once, and she always wants to play for a while and watch the excitement.
Shang Zhoude smiled and said: "Then you two go ask your mother, uncle won't make the decision."
The two little sisters hurriedly went to ask their mother. Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "I don't make the decision either. I'll ask your little aunt."
Shang Danran said shyly, "Why are you asking me? It's up to you."
Xiao Jinghui laughed "ha" and narrowed his eyes. "Auntie, are you really free to follow us?" Then we have to wait here."
Shang Danran ignored them. In fact, she also wanted to see Zhang Yuan come out.
The child has sharp eyes. At this time, Xiao Jingwei suddenly saw a familiar figure. He hurriedly walked to the maid Fanghua, tugged on the waist of Fanghua's skirt, and pointed towards the bridge with his little hand: "Fanghua, look, you
Look, you gave me oranges last time." The maid Fanghua didn't understand what Miss Jing Hui said. She looked in the direction she was pointing and suddenly said, "Oh, it's that degenerate woman."
On the other side of the river is the fallen girl Mu Zhenzhen. She is wearing an old black jacket and a frayed green cloth skirt. The two sets of skirts Zhang Yuan had sewn for her at a garment shop last month had already been delivered to her.
But she couldn't bear to wear it. She felt that it would be a pity if her panniers were worn out by accident if she wore such a brand-new dress. Mu Zhenzhen only saw this pair of beautiful and lovely little sisters at Guangxiang Qiaotou when she wore it during the holidays.
, knowing that they are here for the young master of the Zhang family, but don’t know who are the young master’s relatives? At this time, they saw the five or six-year-old child
The girl waved to her, then ran over quickly, bowed and asked with a smile: "1 What do you want from Sister Bu?"
Xiao Jingwei looked at the basket on her back and asked, "I'm thirsty. Does this sister still have oranges in the basket? My sister confiscated my money last time."
Shang Zhoude on the side frowned slightly, Xiao Hui called a degenerate woman sister, which was really inappropriate.
Mu Zhenzhen, a fourteen-year-old fallen girl, has experienced the bitterness of the world and is extremely considerate. Shang Zhoude's slight frown fell on her eyes, and he quickly said: "1Sister Bu, please call your maid Zhenzhen. My maid is
The servant in Master Zhang’s family is the Master Zhang who writes eight-legged essays in the school.
"
Bu Jing slightly opened his bright black eyes and said with joy, "It turns out he is from Mr. Zhang's brother's family. No wonder he didn't accept our orange money last time."
Shang Zhoude watched Mu Zhenzhen take out the square persimmon from the basket on his back and handed it to Jing Wei and Jing Lan. Then a maid took it on his behalf and carefully cut the skin for the two ladies to eat. Shang Zhoude asked Mu Zhenzhen: "Are you sure?
Is the Zhang Yuan family the main family?"
Mu Zhenzhen responded: "Yes."
Shang Zhoude nodded and wanted to ask Mu Zhenzhen something about Zhang Yuan. Suddenly he saw a servant wearing a flat top and a white collar, riding a brown box horse, shouting all the way: "Get out of the way."
, get out of the way, report urgently, report urgently." Horse hooves crossed the Guangxiang Bridge and ran towards the Confucian Academy Palace.
Shang Zhou De thought: "What big thing happened?"
The noisy entrance to the Confucian Palace suddenly became quiet.
Even his nephew-in-law Yang Shangyuan abandoned him. At this moment, Yao Fuzhen felt sad. He never expected that he would end up like this. He did not reflect on himself. He only hated others. These days, he entertained guests and gave gifts every day.
He had visited most of the fifty-two people standing at the west end of the hall, and had given them gifts to some extent. Nineteen of them were friends he had made willingly, thinking that this eight-part gambling game would definitely involve them.
He won, but unexpectedly, no one was left to support him. Even the beast Yang Shangyuan walked away. Do these people really think that if he loses the bet, he will hand over the kerchief and Confucian uniform and return it to the provincial inspector? What a joke.
, don’t even think about it!
Yao Fu was considered to have a strong will. After suffering such a heavy blow, he was only discouraged for a moment. He regained his strength and was not discouraged. He laughed and said: "A group of villains who follow the trend of others."
, I thought that I, Mr. Yao, was going to be unlucky. Over the past two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, who had ever seen anyone lose their honor as a member of the Ming Dynasty by betting? Which part of the Ming Dynasty law stipulates?"
When all the students in Xilang heard that Yao Fu called them villains, they were all furious and scolded Yao Fu one after another. Scholars scolded others, and that was the case. The Ministry of Education and Culture was lively and interesting. Zhang E had an itchy throat and did not dare to scold Yao Fu when he was around his father.
He slipped under the west veranda, went to the bathroom among the other students, and began to curse loudly. The students from Zhejiang counties who were standing in the courtyard with dancing eyebrows also joined in the group of scoldings, all pointing at Yao Heixin. It was hard to tell what he was scolding.
Yao Fu was worried, and he turned a blind eye to the accusations. He just took it as scolding others. He just thought in his heart: "Criticize me, scold me, but what can you do to me?"
All the officials in the hall looked at each other in confusion. Magistrate Xu didn't say anything. They didn't know what to do.
Xu Shijin knew that Yao Fu wanted to fool around, but would all the people present let Yao Fu go? Xu Shijin didn't want to get into this troubled water anymore, so he stood up and said: "How can Shanyin Confucianism be decent!" Xiang Wang Siren, Zhang Rushuang
He cupped his hands and said, "Sit down, gentlemen. I'm going back to the government office first."
Master Fu Zun obviously meant to blame, and Sun Jiaoyu was extremely frightened. At this moment, he suddenly saw a guard striding up and kneeling to report: "Master Fu Zun, the great master of the school inspector has arrived at the government office. I heard that
Your Excellency was studying Confucianism in Shanyin, so he came straight this way."
The grand master is the inspector of schools in a province, also known as the academic officer.@.
