Chapter 117

(for a collection, thanks.)

Fang Xie was still a little silly when he walked out of the examination room. In the eyes of the whole audience, whether envious or jealous, he tried his best not to show timidity and bow his head, but walked out with a smile on his lower jaw. After leaving the school, he couldn't help rubbing his face and found himself laughing stiff.

Looking for a tree with thick branches and leaves, Fang Xie sat down in the shade and thought about the previous scene carefully. His Majesty's sudden will did not bring him a simple sense of happiness. He has a headache at the thought of his five false excellent results. Who knows if he will cause any trouble in the future?

He is the kind of person who worries before he likes. His first reaction is not that he is safe to enter the martial arts academy, but whether it is difficult to deal with the unnecessary troubles that may be brought about by this false name in the future. Fang Xie knew that he was afraid of trouble, although trouble had never stopped since he was born.

After sitting for a while, his mood gradually calmed down. He simply lay in the cool shade and closed his eyes to rest. Speaking of it, he can go home today. The martial arts exam will wait until tomorrow according to the rules. And this morning, his Majesty's murder delayed a lot of time. I don't know if tomorrow's martial arts exam will be postponed. Lying here is a waste of time. But Fang Xie didn't intend to leave. At least he didn't think it was time for him to go.

Lying on the grass, Fang Xie pulled out a hairy grass and held it in his mouth. Looking at the lush leaves, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly and outline a charming arc.

Before entering the gate of the martial arts academy, he never thought that his examination would be such a process.

He has tried countless times to imagine what kind of difficult situation he will face today. What I even think most is if I really don't do well in the exam, should I go to the little fat Taoist Xiang qingniu for maintenance in the next step. After all, he seems to have many opponents in Chang'an. If he can't enter the martial arts academy, he's afraid he can't live in peace for three years. Although he can choose to enter Wenyuan pavilion or Shuhua Pavilion as a civil servant, he knows that once his stomach is empty, his road will come to an end.

The point is, he doesn't have many useful things in his stomach.

Relying on Pinyin and arithmetic, he can mix for days and months, but it's not a profound knowledge at all. After entering Wenyuan pavilion or Shuhua Pavilion, he completely exposed his rough and ignorant nature in less than half a month. And he deeply remembered Zhuo Buyi's words. The private fighting of civil servants is always worse than the fighting on the battlefield of military generals. Because in the battlefield, it is a fight with open knives and guns, and in officialdom, the knife in the opponent's hand will always stab you in a place you can't think of when you can't think of it. If you are not careful, you will be blurred by Yin's flesh and blood.

In this case, Wu Yidao also told him.

With two generations of experience, Fang Xie naturally understands that it is difficult to survive in officialdom without great wisdom and groveling. If you want to be successful, you need to learn more. Relatively speaking, if he chose, he would rather join the army than the court. With his understanding of officialdom and his style of doing things, I'm afraid he will be killed by others soon.

He lacks experience in this field.

He still needs to grow.

In contrast, entering the main business of chaotang is intrigue, and the sideline is learning, or entering qingleshan Yiqi temple to be a road boy who sprinkles water and sweeps the floor. The latter is far more attractive than the former. Although the former may soar, it is too dangerous. How many amazing children of poor families have not left the bone residue played by those big people in two or three years after entering the court? Although the latter is not promising, it is stable and peaceful.

Those who have a heart for stability and peace are often the elderly, and young people are more determined. Fang Xie is not short of determination, but he is also willing to live a peaceful, safe, happy and happy life. People with his experience may also have such ideas. I can't fight anymore, so I'm relieved to find a place to be a little person.

"Congratulations"

Just as he was lying on the grass thinking, suddenly someone said these two words to him not far away. The voice is very gentle and soft. Fang Xie heard it not long ago.

It was the female professor who verified the identity of the examinee by the bridge, with amazing memory and a pair of crystal white eyes.

Fang Xie remembered that her name was Qiu Yu, which was not a very feminine name. The first impression is that it sounds more like a man. Yu... Speaking of it, this is a word of small wealth and peace. There is no big pursuit. It's good to have a slight surplus, no loss, no shortage, a lot. It's enough to have surplus.

Fang Xie quickly sat up and turned to one side.

He found that the female professor had been sitting on the other side of the tree. It's just that she's behind a bunch of roses. It's hard to find it without looking carefully. She sat on a stone bench reading. Fang Xie could see her side face. It was not that soul stirring beauty, but it looked very comfortable.

She said a congratulations, but did not look to Fang Xie.

"Thank you, sir"

Fang Xie stood up and bowed to salute.

"Thank me for what?"

Qiu Yu put down the book in his hand, turned to Fang and explained, "I've seen the pinyin annotation method and suanko small character method you gave to your majesty. To tell you the truth, what your majesty just said in his will is not too much, and he didn't deliberately exaggerate your contribution. Your two ideas have really contributed to the future. Since then, it's hard to imagine how many children have benefited from it."

She got up, looked up at the sky and asked, "why don't you go back? The liberal arts exam is over today, and it will be sunset at the earliest."

Fang Xie was silent for a while and truthfully replied, "the students are waiting. Is there anyone else looking for me?"

Hearing this, Qiu Yu couldn't help looking at Fang Xie, then nodded and turned away. When she was about to disappear in the depths of the woods, she suddenly stopped and turned back to Fang Xie: "sometimes thinking too much may not be a good thing, at least it will be very tired."

Fang Xie leaned over slightly and said, "it's not time for students to be afraid of fatigue and enjoy comfort, so they always have to think more. When they open their eyes, thinking more is better than not wanting anything. When I close my eyes, I have time to think nothing."

"Good... You don't pretend."

Qiu Yu nodded and walked into the forest.

Fang Xie smiled helplessly, knowing that her previous answer must have upset the female professor. But he really can't just leave. He lacks a lot of things now. For example, opportunities. Who knows if there will be any big opportunities if you stay in the martial arts academy for a while? Maybe the female professor didn't like it because she didn't like his deep mind, so she left. She couldn't help asking herself again. She was just curious about herself.

Fang Xie is not afraid of misunderstanding, let alone Qiu Yu did not misunderstand him.

His Majesty's will opened the door of the martial arts academy to him. Maybe there are many, many doors open.

……

……

After Qiu Yu left, Fang Xie suddenly found that the book she had read was left on the stone table not far away. It's boring to wait here and see if you have the opportunity to come by yourself. Since there is a book to read to relieve boredom, he will never waste it. So he went over and prepared to see what books Qiu Yu could read quietly.

But when Fang Xie came near, he couldn't help but step down after he saw the handwriting on the book.

Martial arts examination questions

These four words, although small, are very eye-catching.

Looking at the thin book, Fang Xie felt an impulse and jumped up quickly. He could hardly help but reach out and pick up the book. His fingers moved several times, as if he were going to reach out the next second. Standing there with a stiff body and staring at the book for a long time, Fang Xie finally suppressed the impulse, took a deep breath and told himself that opportunities can wait, but not all of them are opportunities.

He stepped back slowly and sat down cross legged on the grass.

About a hundred meters away from Fang Xie, several pairs of eyes have been watching him through the hole in the flower wall. Seeing Fang Xie sitting cross legged on the grass, the corners of their mouths couldn't help raising slightly.

Zong Lianghu, minister in charge of the Ministry of the war, looked at young Bianjun, smiled and whispered, "you can be called a gentleman."

The Minister of rites huaiqiugong stroked the snow-white beard, smiled and nodded without words.

Niu huilun, a scholar of the Wen Yuan Pavilion, said softly: "Compared with those who quit the examination room before, this young man is indeed a gentleman. If he has a trace of uncleanness in his heart, he will not make such a choice. In my opinion, if other examinations enter today's small situation... Some people will look at the examination questions, put them back in their original position after reading them, and pretend not to have seen them. Some people will pick them up and quickly run out to look for them A female professor handed it back. It's hard to guarantee that she won't look at it secretly on the way. Someone will turn around and leave immediately, for fear that if she stays here for a long time, she will be misunderstood as having seen it. "

Zhuang Chuyu, a scholar at shuhuage University, thought: "it's a real villain who put it back after reading. It's a hypocrite who takes it up to chase the professor and return the book. He turns around and leaves for fear of being misunderstood... He's a coward. It's difficult to maintain loyalty and integrity in times of crisis. He's mostly a traitor."

Mou Liangbi, the Minister of war, pointed to the boy's seat and said, "gentlemen, can you see how many steps he took back?"

"Seven steps"

Zong Lianghu replied.

Mou Liangbi nodded: "Seven steps... This distance is very subtle. It's not far or near. I happen to be in a place where there is no shelter. No matter which direction I come from around, I can see him at a glance. And this distance will never make people misunderstand that he just turned over the examination questions and sat back. What's more, it won't make people feel that he was found and left the stone table in a hurry. Because he didn't come back after being found If you leave the stone table, you will never go out seven steps. "

Niu huilun was slightly stunned and couldn't help asking, "Lord Mou means that he even calculated these steps carefully?"

"Probably."

Mou Liangbi replied, "he didn't go because he wanted to take care of the examination questions and wait for the professor to come back. He sat where he could see him on all sides to show that he was open and aboveboard. If he was just a gentleman... It's really not worth watching him secretly here."

Huaiqiugong couldn't help laughing when he heard this sentence. He looked sideways at the man who had been sitting on one stone without saying a word.

"What do you think, old man?"

The old guy leaning against the stone and resting with his eyes closed is Zhou banchuan, who should have been sitting on the commanding platform today. He squinted at Huai Qiugong, glanced away and said: "Your Majesty asked you to come and see what you asked me to do, but I didn't come to see the young man. Prince Yi said that human nature is greedy and its roots can be covered, but it's difficult to get rid of, so you designed this bureau, waiting for the little guy to drill, and using the professor of my martial arts academy to help with the acting... I'm too lazy to watch it, and I don't want to watch it."

"Stingy!"

Huaiqiugong glared back at him and turned to the school field: "I think you can tell your majesty that Fang Xie is indeed a gentleman and a very smart gentleman, OK?"

The crowd nodded and followed huaiqiugong back.

"A group of senior officials with more than four grades came to test a small person so boring and shameless. I don't know if they are free."

Zhou banchuan scolded in a low voice, and simply leaned on the stone to continue to close his eyes. Thinking of the young man's performance before, the corners of his mouth couldn't help picking up.

gentleman? If that little guy is a gentleman, I'm a saint... I want to see it, but I'm afraid of being found, so I deliberately make a fair and aboveboard move. Nine times out of ten, he saw through that someone deliberately designed to see him laugh, so he held back his hand and didn't reach out to take the test question. Real villain, hypocrite, coward, gentleman... He doesn't belong to these four kinds of people.

When he thought of this, Zhou banchuan frowned slightly and asked himself, what kind of boy did he belong to?

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find the answer. Or he won't accept the answer.

In the distance, Fang Xie, who sat cross legged, also picked at the corners of his mouth. Because he heard footsteps coming towards him from far to near, he knew he was right again.

"Deputy Fang Xie of the border patrol team, your majesty has an order to announce your audience!"

Hearing the eunuch's male duck voice, Fang Xie's smile grew stronger and stronger.

Not far away, Qiu Yu standing behind the rockery slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what he was celebrating. But this feeling is very good. You can laugh if you want to.
