Chapter 118: The Sage's Troubles
At this time, Fang Jifan was holding half a melon and gently scooping the spoon. The seed-like melon meat was put into the spoon and put it directly into his mouth!
A unique sweetness suddenly spreads the taste buds. Although it is in the cold days and does not have the pleasure of cooling down, it has a unique taste. Especially in this era, in the long winter, there are almost no fruits and vegetables to survive. The only thing that can be eaten is just radishes transported from the canal from Jiangnan that are not easily deteriorated.
This long-lost sweet taste made Fang Jifan, who had eaten many delicacies in the mountains and seas, feel comfortable: "Happy, Your Highness, your melons are so planted very well."
Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan straight, couldn't help but drool. He couldn't wait to take half of the melon, imitated Fang Jifan, scooped a spoonful of seeds, swallowed the seeds together, and wiped his mouth and said, "It's great, I dare not take credit for it. We brothers planted it together, very good. Lao Fang's contribution is the first, and I'm the second."
"Where, where, Your Highness is the first."
"What are you fighting for? I said you are the first, you are the first."
The two looked at each other and laughed. The spoon in their hands did not stop. In a moment, they ate half of their melons.
After touching his belly, Fang Jifan burped and felt comfortable. What is the top enjoyment? The top enjoyment is not the delicacies of the whole world, but the things he can eat. Few people in this world can eat it, just like this watermelon, all over the world. At this time, who can eat it? Although everyone has eaten it, so what? This is the meaning of life. The meaning of life lies in grasping as many scarce products as possible. At present, watermelon is scarce.
"Lao Fang, why not cut another one?" Zhu Houzhao licked her mouth, feeling unsatisfied, as if the previous conflicts and quarrels had long disappeared. Tonight, he even felt that Fang Jifan and he were more intimate than before.
We brothers have planted melons together.
The most important thing is that Fang Jifan was too lazy to pay attention to him these days, and he took care of the watermelon alone, feeling a little boring. Only then did he realize that with Lao Fang by his side, he had lost a lot of loneliness.
Fang Jifan was so arrogant: "If you eat another one, you will eat another one. The rest will be sold for you. We must make a name for ourselves and we can only make a fortune in the coming year."
"Oh." Zhu Houzhao felt it was reasonable: "Yes, I want to sell it. But how to sell it?"
Fang Jifan said, "Pick some and send them to the palace. According to what Your Highness meant, he was to respect the Empress Dowager and the Empress, where His Majesty..."
"No!" Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation.
Fang Jifan said oh, then said, "We will sell other people wherever there are many noble people."
"So, where are there many noble people?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, looking like a curious baby.
Fang Jifan looked confused, "You uncle, ask me, how can I know?"
…………
It's getting late.
The youngest secretary of the Zhan Shi Mansion, Wang Hua, has already paid the deposit.
When I returned home, I walked into the main hall. As soon as I sat down, I saw my son Wang Shouren step in and bowed: "I have met my father."
"Boan." Wang Hua smiled and suppressed his hands: "Come and sit down, how are the strategies for the palace examinations ready?"
The palace examination will be held for two months, so there is no hurry. However, many tribute students who were on the list of gold have already started to sharpen their knives, and Wang Shouren is no exception.
Wang Shouren shook his head and said, "I'm going to take the exam for a long time today."
Kao means thinking. If you add a length in front, Wang Hua will blew his beard and stare. In other words, you have been thinking about messy things all day long.
"Oh? Are you worried?" Wang Hua was a little overwhelmed with this strange-tempered son, but he had to endure his temper.
Wang Shouren said with a solemn look on his face: "I heard that tribute student Xu Jing has jumped off the building."
Wang Shouren frowned, what do you have to do with someone jumping off the building? Just because of this, you have been thinking about it for a day?
Seeing that his father's face was not good, Wang Shouren said again: "It is reported that he was asking to be a disciple of Fang Jifan and was unavailable, so he did such a dementia behavior. Fortunately, the auspicious person had a heavenly appearance and his injuries were not hindered. He finally fulfilled his wish and worshipped the wall of Fang Jifan."
Wang Hua couldn't help but say, "Boan, the palace examination is the most serious."
"This is also a very serious thing." Wang Shouren argued: "The Book of Rites? The Great says: Investigating things, achieving knowledge, sincerity, correcting your heart, cultivating your own heart, managing your family, governing the country, and pacifying the world. Zhu Xi Master said: 'Things are all things, and the situation is coming, and the future is coming. When things arrive, their hearts are clear and clear, but they do not respond to things, which is to achieve knowledge.' Therefore, if you want to be sincere, you should first obtain knowledge; to achieve knowledge is to investigate things. Only when things are in order can you know it, and then you should know it."
"..." At this time, Wang Hua was probably speechless and could not laugh or cry.
But Wang Shouren was very serious: "Master Zhu Xi's words are to let us explore the principles of the world through observation. As the saying goes, it is said that the principles of things are all in the extreme. Fang Jifan, his son did not understand why there were so many people who worship him as his teacher. Why did he become infamous in the capital and willing to follow him as his teacher? There were talents like Ouyang Zhi, Tang Yin, Xu Jing, etc. The son had doubts in his heart, but no one could solve this doubt for his son. Therefore, the son thought of Fang Jifan, perhaps... he could understand some truths from him."
Wang Hua was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "What's the point of this person going to go into? You, focus on the right path."
Wang Shouren seemed to disagree: "My father once said that as long as the son is on the gold list, he will no longer be restrained."
"..." Wang Hua was speechless. In order to let Wang Shouren study and participate in the imperial examination, Wang Hua did have such an agreement with Wang Shouren, but who expected...
He sighed and couldn't help but say quietly: "Hey... your temper is so weird, and it doesn't look like a father. Fang Jifan can't see through this person, and he said he is a pillar of the country, haha... But if he says he is really unforgivable, I am in the Zhanshi Mansion, and I can be considered to be working with him, but I don't think it's like. Although this person often speaks bad words, he feels that his original intention is not bad."
"What I worry most about my father is that he takes the prince to make trouble, but it is interesting. Just a few days ago, His Highness and Fang Jifan had an argument and ignored each other."
Speaking of this, Wang Hua was a little gloating, stroked his beard and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Wang Shouren couldn't help but say, "Argument? But I don't know what the dispute is?"
Wang Hua sighed, glanced at the strange Wang Shouren, and said, "The Zhan Mansion is a place that cannot be hidden. I only learned yesterday that the cause was because Wang Shi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, mobilized troops and horses to suppress the rebellion in Guizhou."
In addition, Laohu has a book friend group of 491966624. You can tell that it is very advanced when you look at the group number. Old guys who are interested in bragging can come and sit down.
