There is a saying that being with you is like being with a tiger. Liu Qian smashed his head, which is extremely painful, but now he doesn't care about it.

On the contrary, Emperor Hongzhi just waved his hand indifferently, but became thoughtful.

The scene he saw just now still floated in his mind. Thinking of the merchant, he hugged Fang Jifan's thigh tightly and insisted on asking Fang Jifan to sell the ebony to him. He is not too interested in the matter of time, what makes him more concerned is...

He suddenly thought about reforming the land and returning to the country, and raised his eyes, but looked at Zhu Houzhao who was waiting by the side, and said kindly: "Hou Zhao."

"My son is here." Zhu Houzhao's excitement of going out to play in the palace hadn't passed yet, his face was still flushed with excitement, and he responded excitedly.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao with some kindness, and then said: "I also heard from you, if the emperor's son participated in the review, I will give you a question, why is Southwest determined, and how do you answer?"

Zhu Houzhao was immediately energetic and excited, and he said without hesitation: "Father, the chieftains in the southwest are just a group of thieves, so why should such trouble be necessary? No matter whether they are convinced or not, I took the heads of more than a dozen chieftains first, who would dare not accept? I have already thought about these three routes of soldiers and horses. One team attacked from the ancient road, and the other ordered the government of Guizhou, Yunnan. Mu..."

Zhu Houzhao has been good at guns and clubs since he was a child, he likes spirits and horses, and he yearns for things on the battlefield. Today, when his father tested him, he naturally revealed his thoughts and hoped to be appreciated by his father.

But Zhu Houzhao was only halfway through, when Emperor Hongzhi suddenly showed a look of depression, and murmured: "The children of other people's families..."

That's right, Nan and Bo dote on their own son, and that kid is certainly a bastard, but he doesn't look like a good thing; and I also have a son, um... he's still obedient, but he has a plan in his mind, no matter how bastard he is, he can The language tells the key to the Southwest problem, and my child, who obviously reads every day, is quite smart, but just...

Not only can children not be pampered, but if they are not talented enough, they have to be stupid, so they need to be disciplined very strictly.

Emperor Hongzhi was filled with emotions, and his gaze became severe.

Zhu Houzhao only heard the words of other people's children, and seeing his father's eyes like lightning, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

He stammered, and before he could continue to express his grandest idea, Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly and reprimanded sharply: "Others don't read, but you read. Why is it better to be an ignorant person if you are a reader?" For you, I have worked so hard, how many famous teachers have I hired for you, and where have you read your books? You are my son, and in the future you will inherit the great rule and inherit the foundation of your ancestors. You only know about guns every day. Sticks, swords... Taizu Gaodi gained the world on horseback. Are you a descendant, but you still try to rule the world on horseback? Don't be so wronged. In the past, every time you acted like a fool, I would tolerate it. You, but starting today, you will never be allowed to continue this nonsense. You will be punished to copy the article a hundred times, and if there is one word missing, I will never forgive you. Even if your mother intercedes later, I will And never show mercy again!"

Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded.

This is provoking someone. Seeing his father's stern words, could it be... this is someone else's father?

But Zhu Houzhao understood when he was asked to transcribe "reform the soil and return to the stream", and couldn't help grinding his teeth, Fang Jifan cheated on me.

Emperor Hongzhi was still angry, but he calmed down again. He calmed down, and slowly set his eyes on a pile of test papers on the desk. The vermilion pen, it seems that he hesitated for a while, and finally, the vermilion pen landed on the test paper, drawing a red circle at the end of the paper.

After that, he put the pen back into the ivory horn pen holder in an orderly manner, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

………………

Fang Jifan was dragged by the beggar Wang Jinyuan to sign the contract, and then he took Deng Jian back home.

Today's mood is extraordinarily bright, and the matter of Wumu has been settled, which makes Fang Jifan have confidence in the future.

The ebony of the shipwreck at least proves one thing, that is, the things remembered in my mind will happen at every moment in the future, and there has not been any deviation in history. This... is an unimaginable treasure. , What happened in Tongzhou, what will happen in Beijing in the next month, what changes will happen in Hangzhou or Nanjing, all those articles are clearly written in the prefectural and county annals that I have read in my previous life. clear and direct.

Get rich.

Fang Jifan was proud, but it was Deng Jian who was frowning. He was frightened at the moment. When he saw the emperor, he was frightened out of his wits. The most striking thing is that the emperor Fang Jifan's face was full of anger, which made him feel lingering fear.

Your Majesty, don't blame the young master for his nonsense.

At this moment, Fang Jifan thought of something and said, "Little Deng Deng."

Deng Jian hurriedly said: "The little one is here."

"The matter outside just now..."

"I understand." Deng Jian nodded understandingly.

On the contrary, Fang Jifan didn't understand: "What do you understand?"

Deng Jian said considerately: "If the uncle knows that the young master has provoked the emperor and the old man outside, he will probably be scared to death again, and he will not complain about the business..."

Did you offend the Emperor Lao Tzu? It seems... no.

Well, let others understand it. Anyway, in the eyes of others, no matter what I do, nothing good will happen.

Fang Jifan waved the Concubine Xiang fan, sighing in his heart, this time it was even worse, he not only wanted to be a prodigal at home, but also went out of the house, in order not to make people suspect that he was pretending to be crazy, he had to act like a jerk.

Fortunately... Fang Jifan is used to it. No matter how bad the reputation is, it won't be so bad, right?

What's more...Fang Jifan touched the few ingots of silver and a wad of Daming banknotes in his sleeve very reassuringly.

This is Wang Jinyuan's deposit, seventy taels of cash, and nine thousand eight hundred taels of treasure notes.

By the time of the Hongzhi Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty’s precious banknotes had depreciated a lot, and it was no longer one tael exchanged for one tael of real gold and silver. The so-called nine thousand eight hundred taels could only be exchanged for more than nine hundred taels of silver, at an exchange rate of ten to one. After all, this thing is easy to carry, and the follow-up silver and discounted land and house deeds will naturally be handed over and sent to the house.

In any case, now that he has money, Fang Jifan feels much more at ease.

Halfway through the journey, there were loud and noisy voices in the distance.

Fang Jifan is not a person who likes to join in the fun, but Deng Jian's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Master, there is some excitement."

Fang Jifan was silent for a while, then looked at the excited Deng Jian.

Look at the excitement, look at you big-headed ghost.

However, looking at Deng Jian looking forward to it, is it true that the prodigal son in the past loved to watch the excitement?

Ok……

Fang Jifan felt that he had to slowly get into the role of the prodigal son, so Concubine Xiang slapped him, just like Gao Yanei in TV dramas: "Let's go and have a look."

It's just that there are three scholars standing on the side of the street, wearing Confucian shirts and scarves, but looking at their half-worn clothes, you can tell that they are down-and-out scholars.

The three of them looked haggard on the street.

It seems that they were kicked out by the inn. The shopkeeper of this inn was clasping his hands towards them, and said with a wry smile: "Three young masters, you are masters of talents, and the small shop dare not offend. It's just that the small shop is doing small business. But right now, the young master's friends... It's bad luck, if you don't seek medical advice, you will definitely not survive. The three young masters have spent a lot of money to treat their friends. The villain also admires this. But now, the young masters bring It is not a matter of the dying patient staying here, please ask the young masters to find another place to live, the villain also knows that the three young masters are ashamed of their pockets, and the money they owed to the shop before, just let it go, offend, offend."
