The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 78

[78. Chapter 78 Full of Positive Energy]

. Well…it doesn’t fit well with the image of a talented and romantic person in later generations. Why does he look like a greasy young man who is about to enter his third year of work?

Fang Jifan was obviously a fan of appearance, and suddenly he had the feeling that you are not good-looking at all and I don’t want to save you.

But…it has come.

Fang Jifan chuckled: “But Tang Jieyuan?”

Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then stared at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan was still wearing the leopard uniform that he had returned from duty. He looked like a pro-military official with a sword on his waist. The most eye-catching thing was the ‘gold’ (copper) belt around his waist. Tang Yin frowned slightly: “Dare you ask me, sir?” Who is it?”

Fang Jifan said seriously: “Fang Jifan.”

Upon hearing the word Fang Jifan, a man who looked like a businessman passed by stiffened, and then rushed into the inn.

Tang Yin felt that the name was familiar. It seemed that after coming to the capital, he heard it from the shopkeeper and waiters in the inn. He tried hard to recall, and suddenly remembered a person, and his face suddenly dropped: “Oh, I have seen Mr. Fang.”

His expression was stern. , as if there was a dark cloud on his face, not daring to slack off at all.

Fang Jifan chuckled. In fact… he had long been used to it: “I have been admiring Tang Jieyuan for a long time. Why don’t we take a step to talk. There are many things and we have to ask Tang Jieyuan for advice.”

Tang Yinlue hesitated, but it was Fang Jifan who said: Salute: “It’s unfortunate that the student invited a few friends to have a drink. The young master extended his invitation warmly, but the student was disrespectful, but… let’s do it next time.”

Fang Jifan…

Tang Yin is a foreigner, how dare he provoke such a vicious person? Fang Jifan was known as a playboy, but Fang Jifan was Nanhe’s uncle, and he couldn’t afford to offend him, so he refused while looking extremely apologetic.

Furthermore, Tang Yin had indeed received an invitation. His fellow countryman Xu Jing invited him to meet Cheng Minzheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Cheng Minzheng was also from Yingtian Mansion and was now in a high position. Xu Jing and Tang Bohu were both scholars from Yingtian Mansion, so they should go visit.

Of course, this visit is only superficial.

In fact, this is a kind of unspoken rule nowadays. When some promising candidates come to Beijing to take part in the examination, they often visit their fellow villagers, and all of these fellow townsmen are the officials of the court. As for the ministers, these Young talents will also be given some care. After all, these people are very likely to be named on the gold list in the future and become officials in the court. They can be used for their own purposes and form cliques. If I give them some help before the examination, they will become officials in the future. , and became completely devoted to himself. And these young talents can also rely on the influence of ministers in the court to rise to prominence.

Therefore, for Tang Yin, this visit is particularly important. He is Jieyuan and has great opportunities in high school. The purpose of coming to Beijing early this time is to hope that Xu Jing can introduce Cheng Minzheng so that he can pass the exam in the future. You don’t have to worry about career problems.

When Fang Jifan heard this, he couldn’t help but frown: “Drinking? Tang Jieyuan went to have a drink with Xu Jing.”

Tang Yin suddenly became wary. This person actually knew?

However, his relationship with Xu Jing has always been good. This is not a secret in the circle of Jiangnan scholars. It’s just that this notorious prodigal son in the capital actually knows about it. So, it is worthy of people’s attention. This shows that Fang Jifan Pay less attention to yourself, maybe you have other agendas.

Tang Yin has not yet denied it.

Fang Jifan continued: “Maybe Tang Jieyuan will go to visit Cheng Minzheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.”

There are different opinions on this fraud case, but more people are convinced that this is a false case, but the key to the problem is that what Cheng Minzheng did after that Xu Jing led Tang Bohu to meet the examiner, and not only that, he also gave him a gift.

This alone makes it impossible to tell.

Tang Yin’s face turned red, as if Fang Jifan had seen through it all of a sudden, and he hurriedly said: “Student… take leave…”

Then he hurriedly left.

This visit was really important. After all, it was the path his good friend Xu Jing had finally found. Moreover, as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, he was ranked third rank, which would be of great help to his future.

Tang Bohu is no longer the wild and talented man he was a few years ago. Since his father’s death, his family has fallen into decline, and the burden of the whole family has fallen on him. This has made his temperament much calmer than before. In my heart, it is now about my own future and the revival of the family business, so I must not make any mistakes.

He was about to leave.

Fang Jifan looked very embarrassed.

Sure enough, people who do good deeds will not end well, but when he saw that Tang Bohu did not deny that he and Xu Jing visited Cheng Minzheng, Fang Jifan felt anxious. It was better to come early than to come by chance. If Tang Bohu went to see Cheng Minzheng today, , by that time, even jumping into the Yellow River would not be able to wash it away.

No!

Can’t let you go. I am a good young master who will do his best to send Buddha to the West.

Fang Jifan said: “Wait a minute!”

Tang Bohu was startled and turned pale. He felt that the worst thing might happen. This prodigal son suddenly found him and found out all his details. He was sure He had an ulterior motive. His family was about to be revived. How could he be entangled with such people?

But he didn’t dare to provoke Fang Jifan. After all, in the capital, there were very few people who dared to provoke Fang Jifan, let alone a candidate from a foreign country. Tang Bohu quickly saluted Fang Jifan and said sincerely: “Student If there is anything rude and offensive, please forgive me, I am just a student…”

“Don’t leave!” I politely asked you to stay, but you are ignorant. Since I want to be a good person, if you don’t give me face, Fang Jifan I had to use the method I was best at.

This arrogant attitude had already made countless pairs of eyes in the inn look horrified.

Those passers-by originally wanted to see the excitement, but they heard the people next to them whisper: “Didn’t you hear? His surname is Fang, from Nanhe’s uncle’s house…”

As a result, passers-by even forgot about the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and the fine traditions of watching the excitement, and they avoided each other like snakes and scorpions, and all of a sudden, they disappeared.

Tang Bohu’s face was pale and bloodless. He was like a frightened bird, and he said humbly: “Master… next time…”

“I said it!” Fang Jifan shouted: “You are not allowed to leave, if you dare to leave. , I will break your dog legs!”

After hearing this, Deng Jian’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he was filled with joy. Just now he was muttering to himself, why is the young master so polite? It turns out that the young master is the young master. Never forgetting his roots, this is the true nature of the young master.

Tang Bohu felt as if he was struck by lightning. He had never seen such a arrogant person. He couldn’t help but said: “Why does the master insist on keeping the student? The student is just a mere scholar, a scholar. Why is the master so aggressive?”

Fang Jifan revealed. He smiled like a sign of arrogance: “Because I am happy.”

Of course it is because I am happy. Could it be that I also told you that I am a time traveler and knew that you were in trouble, so I came here to show you a way to survive? Your uncle, even if I tell you such a magical thing, I don’t believe it myself.
