The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 26

[26.Chapter 26 Mistakenly Befriending a Bandit]

Today, Fang Jifan washed himself up and rushed directly to the study room, where he saw Ouyang Zhi and the others waiting there.

Then the mentor sat down, raised his legs, and looked at Ouyang Zhi first: “What book is that in your hand?”

Ouyang Zhi said: “It’s the Book of Rites.”

Fang Jifan was unhappy: “Bring it.”

Ouyang Zhi said Zhi did not dare to neglect and handed over the Book of Rites to Fang Jifan.

In front of them, Fang Jifan tore up the “Book of Rites” with a tear.

Ouyang Zhi and the others are angry. It’s unreasonable. Even if you are Enfu, you can’t be so immoral. The exam is coming soon. You need to review your homework. These four books and five classics are necessary for the exam. Enfu… you Actually tore it… tore it apart, this is a saint’s classic, it is…

Fang Jifan didn’t even frown, and said lightly: “In the future, you can’t read these idle books anymore.”

Xian… idle books…

Ouyang Zhi suddenly looked He looked so miserable that the “Book of Rites” was to the imperial examination what the textbooks of later generations were to the college entrance examination.

Ouyang Zhi looked at Fang Jifan angrily.

Fang Jifan curled his lips and said, “How dare you refuse to accept it, reach out your hand and slap the palm of your hand.”

“Teacher…” Jiang Chen stopped talking.

Chen Kaizhi then looked at Jiang Chen again: “It seems that you are not convinced, and you raised your palms. Forget it…” Fang Jifan sighed: “Three disciples, the palms and backs of their hands are all flesh, and only two of them are beaten. This is called favoring one and favoring the other.” , all three of you stretch out your palms, I will punish you severely.”

Liu Wenshan’s temper was a bit more impatient. He has never seen his teacher do this. He was already furious, but he didn’t dare to explode.

One good thing about this era is that if a disciple dares to contradict his teacher, it is disrespectful and is no different from being disloyal and unfilial.

So if it’s a tiger, you have to lie down, and if it’s a dragon, you have to curl up.

Fang Jifan had already raised the pointer he had prepared long ago. When the three of them stretched out their palms, he was not polite and slapped them, making the three of them grinning.

Now, I feel comfortable.

No wonder everyone in the world likes to be an emperor, to be someone else’s father or a teacher. They can be so arrogant without any reason, let alone the emperor who is the father of heaven and earth!

It turns out that a few disciples can actually heal their own psychology after being distorted by this world.

Fang Jifan continued: “Now let’s start writing an article for my teacher. Well… I have given you three questions for my teacher. You guys should do it well.”

“Teacher, students, etc., our foundation is not stable now, so we should lay a solid foundation first. These eight-part essays , need…” Jiang Chen’s palms were burning. Hearing that his teacher wanted them to do a test, he couldn’t help but want to remind them.

It’s wrong for you to teach like this!

Fang Jifan glared at him: “Are you the teacher or am I the teacher?”

“…” Jiang Chen was speechless. Fortunately, the tears he had shed in the past few days had long since dried up, so he wouldn’t cry.

Fang Jifan stood up, paced back and forth in the study room with his hands behind his back, as if he was working on a question.

In fact, according to the records of Shuntian Prefecture, Fang Jifan already knew that this year’s provincial examination question was “Benevolent Government in Today’s Times”. This question is very misleading. Where is the mistake? Because this is a cut-off question. The so-called cut-off question is just like the poem “Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls from the sky.” Normal people would probably write questions like “Flying down three thousand feet”, “Three thousand feet”, ‘Milky Way’ and ‘Nine Heavens’ are different, but the title is ‘straight down’. Do you think that’s the end of it? After ‘straight down’, the cheating examiner would leave a blank space and add the word ‘drop’ at the end, so the question became ‘straight down’.

This kind of question is insane, and ‘Benevolent Government in Today’s Times’ is this type of question, because the first four words and the last two words have no connection at all, but the candidates are asked to come up with a story based on such nonsense questions. The road makes sense.

The examiner was so lowly that it would be unreasonable not to bury him alive.

But Fang Jifan knew that he could not throw out this question directly, but had to hide the real test questions among many questions, so as to arouse others’ suspicion.

So he smiled and said: “Hmm… The first question: Wealth and honor are impossible. The second question: Let’s take it as a question: There must be no lawsuit. The third question… Well, I think about it again, I have it. , ‘Benevolent government in today’s times’, that’s it. From now on, you can’t do the questions, hehe…”

Among these three questions, the easiest is to be rich and powerful, and the second is to make sure there is no lawsuit. The most rare thing is the benevolent government in today’s world. The level of the questions is actually not bad. Ouyang Zhi couldn’t help but be stunned and bowed to Fang Jifan: “The three questions Enfu casually asked are…ahem… …Could it be that my mentor also studied the Four Books and Five Classics and could write eight-legged essays?”

“No!” Fang Jifan’s two words directly caused the three of them to fall into the abyss.

What the hell, you haven’t read the Four Books and Five Classics, yet you still have the nerve to teach scholars. You don’t know how to make eight-part essays, so why are you so arrogant that you come to ask questions for others to do?

Fang Jifan smiled and said: “However, in order to do this well and be a qualified master, I specially bought a copy of “Eight Parts” 300 Chapters for my teacher. These three questions are excerpts from the 300 Chapters “Eight Parts” “

Ouyang Zhi and others were completely desperate, they had mistakenly made a mistake.

This time, they seemed to have given up hope in the provincial examination. Anyway, they had received money from the Enfu, saved the lives of their classmates, and had become their disciples. What else could they say? Everything… had to pay a price.

The three of them had to gather around the desk, spread out their papers, and start working on the questions.

Fang Jifan had a grand master’s chair brought over, and he lay on his back with his feet on the desk. After a while, he started snoring.

Although Fang Jifan didn’t know much about teaching, he thought it was similar to raising pigs at home when he was young in his previous life.

Fang Jifan was a strict teacher. He had a pointer in his hand, so he naturally had to hit him every now and then. They wrote a composition, but Fang Jifan didn’t understand it after reading it. He just felt that it was such a nonsense, and it really gave him a headache, but naturally he had to compare a few words. You guys This level is not enough. Please re-do the questions and write again.

Anyone who dared to question would have to have his palms slapped. Howls could be heard from time to time in the study.

Deng Jian came from time to time to pour tea and water for Fang Jifan. As soon as he heard the young master beating someone, he felt comfortable all over, just like when someone else was getting married. He went to the wedding ceremony and felt uncomfortable unless he heard some noise from the wedding room.

On the other hand, Manager Yang in the mansion was extremely anxious.

He was also a scholar and a scholar, but unfortunately he failed in many tests, so he committed himself to the Fang family and became the chief steward of the Fang family.

Now seeing three honest scholars being played with by the young master, Manager Yang actually felt a sense of belonging.

I feel the same way. Every time I hear the wailing in the study, and Fang Jifan’s words from time to time, “I don’t understand eight-legged essays as a teacher, can’t I teach you if you don’t understand?”, Manager Yang feels even more heartbroken. These three Scholar, I am afraid that his future will be ruined in the hands of the young master.

After several days, Manager Yang finally mustered up the courage. He couldn’t just sit back and watch this matter.

So in the evening, when my uncle came back from duty, Manager Yang was busy welcoming his uncle to sit high in the hall, and he personally served tea.

The tired Fang Jinglong said casually: “The successor is at home, are you at peace?”

Manager Yang smiled bitterly: “Uncle, the students have something to say, and I don’t know whether to say it or not. The young master forced three scholars to worship him as his teacher. , so he called them to the house… uh… taught them how to read… uncle…”

Steward Yang showed a bitter face, and continued: “These three talents are all scholars with a good reputation, and the country and the dynasty give them preferential treatment. Scholars who excel in their studies will become officials. But the young master often beats and scolds them and makes all kinds of nonsense. Seeing that the provincial examination is about to begin, it is a matter of life for the scholar. If he misses the opportunity, it will be another three years. The student did not mean to slander the young master, but… the student felt that the uncle should take care of it, so as not to delay the future of the three scholars. Besides, if this matter spread, it would not be good. “

…

Tiger’s greatest happiness .
