"I'm a little tired from reading!"
Song Lian, who was standing at the side, felt that Fan Jin's lecture was quite profound after listening to the passage. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, he hurriedly said,"Let me do it!"
"Deal!"
After that, the others also ridiculed Fan Jin. His identity as a scholar had become his burden. He could only scold him once or twice for being an insult to his culture, but he was defeated every time.
The other students in the Academy invited him to the provincial examination. Fan Jin's family did not have any surplus food, so he had to borrow money from Butcher Hu. This time, he was scolded again!
"You plague guy, don't miss your chance. You only think you've been hit by a husband, and now you want to eat swan meat?”
"I heard people say that even the Prime Minister isn't your article. However, the Chancellor saw that you were old and felt sorry, so he gave it to you!”
"With such a pointy mouth and monkey-like cheeks, you should take a piss and look at yourself. You're so shameless that you want to eat swan fart!”
When Fan Jin came back from the exam and was selling chickens in the market, a few bailiffs suddenly came from the county government, carrying a sedan chair and beating gongs and drums.""Mr. Fan has won!"
"Mr. Fan has won!"
Everyone in the city could not believe that the Master of Plague, Fan Jin, had really passed the imperial examination!
Soon, a dramatic scene unfolded.
Song Lian's heart skipped a beat as he read out word by word,""Even Fan Jin himself doesn't believe it.”
"Even after the bailiffs 'repeated reminders, he still didn't believe it. Instead, he felt that someone was trying to snatch his chicken!”
" When I arrived at the magistrate's office, I read the notice once and twice before I believed it. Then…"
"Eh! Good! I got it!"
After saying that, he fell down, his teeth clenched tightly, and he fell unconscious.
The old lady panicked and hurriedly gulped down a few mouthfuls of hot water. He climbed up and clapped his hands as he laughed loudly."I got it!"
He smiled and ran out of the door without any explanation, scaring the bailiffs and neighbors.
Not long after they walked out of the door, they kicked the pond and struggled, causing their hair to fall.
His hands were covered in yellow mud, and his body was drenched in water!
Song Lian frowned." Eh? So the new rich man couldn't accept it and went crazy!"”
At this point, he couldn't continue reading. He felt goosebumps all over his body!
The old farmer and the child treated it as an ordinary story, but Song Lian understood that there were too many ironic things in it!
A person who didn't know how to distinguish between food and water actually passed the imperial examination. What was he trying to hide?
After that, he couldn't accept it for a moment and went crazy!
When he thought about it carefully, why couldn't he accept it?
The answer was obvious.
Butcher Hu finally woke Fan Jin up with a few slaps.
Soon after, the squire in the city came and gave Fan Jin the most central three-mu mansion. He also gave him fifty taels of silver as a relocation fee.
Butcher Hu, who had been mocking and ridiculing Fan Jin before, had turned from arrogance to deference in the blink of an eye. Before, he was a rotten beggar who couldn't be killed or frozen to death. Now, he actually said that Fan Jin was a constellation in the sky.
This was nothing much. When relatives and friends came to seek refuge, some hid their land under his name and became his tenants to avoid the court's taxes.
Some people even sold their bodies to him and became his slaves, asking for help to cross out the names on the yellow book to avoid the court's corvee!
"In just two or three months, Fan Jin's family will have servants and maids. There's no need to talk about money and rice.”
"The squire's family is urging us to move again."
"Moving to a new house, singing, holding a banquet, treating guests, three days in a row.”
This was the reason why Fan Jin went crazy!
The previously dilapidated family was about to starve to death, but in just two to three months, it had become a wealthy family.
It also mentioned the problem of the hidden land. Song Lian subconsciously glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Why are you looking at us?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Continue reading."
His words were calm and normal.
Song Lian read," In February of the following year, Fan Jin passed the Jinshi examination. According to tradition, the Emperor of Datong sent him to the Imperial Academy to study.”
"Fan Jin comes to check the time every day, but his colleagues in the Imperial Academy say sarcastically,"”
"Junior student, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?”
"The Sage's Book is just a stepping stone. Since you've already passed the imperial examination and obtained an official rank, why bother studying it?”
"Let's go. The Chancellor is hosting a banquet at the Charm Fragrance Restaurant today, and he is using top-grade wine!”
"Fan Jin was born in a remote county. When has he seen the prosperity of the capital?”
"In just a few days, she was immersed in rouge.”
"If it's compared to the ancient rule of the world, then it's far inferior. Even compared to his previous self, he had fallen a little!”
"But even so, Fan Jin's family background is getting richer and richer. His land and shops are increasing day by day!”
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to support his extravagant life in Beijing!”
"Hiss ~"
"Hiss hiss ~"
Hearing this, everyone present gasped.
Fan Jin was a pedantic scholar. He rose to fame in one day. Even if he had fallen, his family background was gradually becoming rich!
They majored in the doctrine of the mean and paid attention to tactful words. When had they ever heard such sharp sarcasm?
Song Lian's voice was also trembling!
This Fan Jin Zhongshi was really a little too sharp!
" After that, the Emperor of the Datong Dynasty issued an edict to encourage farming. The Minister of Rites used the seal, and the Ministry of Central Affairs issued an edict. The task was handed over to Fan Jin and his colleagues from the Imperial Academy…"
Song Lian subconsciously glanced at Kong Zhao.
Wait a minute!
mo would not
He had said it so harshly earlier, but now he was only getting to the main topic?
(The 86 version of Journey to the West is really good)
(I have to read it in conjunction with the original novel)
