Early the next morning, Fan Yi explained to his mother, took the policy theory he wrote and went out.

Last night, he asked his mother about some well-known Confucian scholars in the county who also had a little friendship with his father.Lin remembered that there was a Confucian scholar in the town.

Lin told him: This Confucian scholar, whose surname is Zhu and whose name is Yunzhi, is in his prime, with a wealthy family, and has two sons under his knees.He taught his children well, and all his sons were admitted as scholars.It's just that this person thinks highly of himself and is indifferent. He stays in his own house all year round and doesn't go out easily.

He has friendship with Fan Shiying because Fan Shiying silenced him at a literary meeting.Zhu Yunzhi was very dissatisfied, went back and locked himself in the room for half a month, read countless books, went to look for Fan Shiying to get back his position, but was defeated again and retreated.The more frustrated Zhu Yunzhi became, the more courageous he became. In the confrontations with Fan Shiying again and again, he was convinced by Fan Shiying and admired his talent very much.

After going back and forth, he and Fan Shiying became good friends.

When Fan Shiying passed away, among the people who came to pay respects, he was the only one with red eyes, who left without saying a word after burning a stick of incense.

Afterwards, she also sent something to her home, and Mrs. Lin received the item and gave the same gift in return.Lin said to her children: the kindness of others can help for a while, but not for a lifetime.In the future, you still have to stand up on your own.

Fan Yi thought for a long time and decided to visit this Uncle Zhu.

On the way, I met an old man in the village who was driving an ox cart to the street. Seeing that Fan Yi was driving alone, the simple and honest uncle warmly invited him to get on the ox cart and let him go.

Fan Yi did not refuse, and thanked the uncle after getting in the car: "Thank you uncle!"

The uncle's black and red face was wrinkled with a smile on his eyes, and he said heartily: "You are welcome, you are the most promising person in our village! We all think that you and your father are the stars of Wenqu in the sky. , your father has been called back to heaven by the Jade Emperor again! With him watching you in heaven, you will definitely be able to go to high school in the future! You will have a great future!"

Fan Yi watched the uncle waving the grass whip and "mooing" the black bull, his heart was filled with emotion, he laughed unconsciously, and he responded loudly: "According to Uncle Uncle's auspicious words!"

When he arrived in the town, Fan Yi bid farewell to his uncle, and went to the book store first to see if his paintings could be bought.

Seeing him coming, the shopkeeper of the book store greeted him, "Xiu Cailang came early today, can I have breakfast?"

Fan Yi smiled and said: "I've used it, the shopkeeper is too early."

The shopkeeper led the man into the book shop, pointed to the place where the paintings were originally hung, and said, "Scholar Lang! The painting that was just hung yesterday has already sold one! Did Lang Xiucai send you a painting today?"

As he spoke, he handed over the silver taels obtained from selling the painting yesterday, excluding the rent, to Fan Yi.

Hearing this, Fan Yi took the money, and was very happy in his heart. He smiled calmly and said, "Xiaosheng will send it to you tomorrow. If the shopkeeper doesn't mind, just call Xiaosheng Xiaofan."

The shopkeeper laughed and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Xiao Fan." After finishing speaking, he corrected his expression and said hesitantly: "I have a merciless request. My naughty grandson is seven years old, and I am already old." I can't afford to teach him how to read anymore. I don't know if Mr. Xiaofan is willing to take the time to teach him? Of course, this old man will let the child worship Mr. as a teacher and offer him a gift. If Mr. Xiaofan agrees, this old man will be very grateful." Just bow down.

Fan Yi looked at the shopkeeper in surprise, he didn't expect the shopkeeper to have such an idea.Seeing this, he quickly stretched out his hand to help the old man up, and said repeatedly: "No way! No way! Thanks to the shopkeeper for looking up to me. Yi's knowledge is limited, I'm afraid it will delay your grandson."

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao Fan, you don't need to be humble. The descendants of Mr. Fan are naturally trusted by me. So, I will choose an auspicious day for my grandson to pay homage to his teacher."

Fan Yi smiled and said: "The shopkeeper arranges it." Then he cupped his hands and said: "Yi still has important things to do, let's go first."

The shopkeeper seemed as if a stone fell to the ground, his face was full of relief, and he said: "Mr. Xiao Fan, please do your work first. If there is anyone who can help you, feel free to ask."

Fan Yi nodded: "Definitely!"

After walking out of the book store, he went to a gift shop, bought a four-color gift box, and carried it to Zhu Yunzhi's mansion.

After Fan Yi left, within half a cup of tea, a handsome and luxuriously dressed young man walked into the bookstore.

He wandered around the bookstore casually, and his eyes fell on the paintings hanging beside the bookshelves.

It was a winter scene, with a lonely boat traveling alone on the river surrounded by smoke.The mountains in the distance are covered with white snow, and the feeling of desolation is overwhelming.

The young man took down the painting, turned around and asked the shopkeeper standing beside him, "Is this painting made by the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, saying it was a consignment item.

The young man pondered: "Ben...I want to meet the person who drew this painting and ask him to draw a painting for me. Is it convenient for the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper responded and said with a smile: "Please come back tomorrow, the guest officer."

Zhu's Mansion is at the end of the East Street. He has been here several times with his father, and this is the first time he visited alone.

Standing in front of the vermilion gate, he straightened his appearance, and then knocked on the gate.

The door was quickly opened from the inside, and a servant of Zhu's residence stood at the door and asked, "My lord, who are you looking for?"

Fan Yi said politely: "Xiaosheng Fan Yi, whose father is Fan Shiying, came to visit Zhu Shishu, please inform me."

The servant heard the words and knew the friendship between his master and Mr. Fan, so he didn't dare to be sloppy, so he immediately let another person who was on duty with him go in to report, and he bowed to invite him in, and brought Fan Yi to the living room, please He waits a moment.The little maid standing outside the door immediately came in and served him tea.

Fan Yi put the gifts he brought aside, chose a lower seat and sat down, then waited patiently.It's just that he waited for a long time, and when the tea in his hand was slowly finished, no one came.

After waiting for a while, I saw Zhu Yunzhi, who was tall and well-looking, appeared.This person's eyes were sharp and his expression was quite serious. He sat on the first seat as soon as he came in, and took the tea handed by the little maid without saying a word.

Fan Yi stood up the moment Zhu Yunzhi entered the door, waited for him to sit down, and immediately said: "Zhu Shishu, Yi came today uninvited and bothered Shishu, please forgive him."

Zhu Yunzhi held the tea, and after a while, he hummed: "You are not studying at home, what are you doing here?"

Fan Yi said sadly: "Uncle Shi didn't know something. My father passed away suddenly, and Yi felt unbearable grief. It couldn't be relieved for several months. After Yi recovered from the pain of losing his father, he realized that he was no longer as good at school. My father was so transparent when he was here. This time he came to bother Uncle Shi because Uncle Shi can give Yi some advice."

As he spoke, he handed over the policy theory in his arms.

Zhu Yunzhi looked at the son of a good friend in front of him, without the slightest smile on his face, he rolled his eyelids, took the paper from the boy's hand, and looked at it casually.

At the beginning, he just glanced at the beginning casually, and saw that it was a policy theory with the title of "Water Conservancy", so he looked down with some interest. Unexpectedly, the expression on his face changed in just a moment.Zhu Yunzhi stared at the strategy in his hand, his eyes were shining, full of admiration.

The article first puts forward the necessity of revitalizing water conservancy, points out the impact of water conservancy projects on the common people, cites the deficiencies in water conservancy construction in the middle, and finally lists the solutions.

He read it again, stood up and shouted repeatedly: "Good! Good! Good! What a rare article!" Then he paced back and forth excitedly, and praised in his mouth: "It's wonderful! It's really wonderful!"

Turning around, he met Fan Yi who was looking at him blankly.

It was only then that Zhu Yunzhi remembered that there was someone beside him. He calmed down his excitement a little, coughed lightly, and pretended to be reserved: "As expected, he is the son of Fan Qinghe. This is a good strategy."

Fan Yi seemed to have never seen the joyful expression on his face just now, and he bowed and replied, "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your compliment."

Zhu Yunzhi squinted at him, thought for a while and said, "Since you came to me after leaving Qinghe for a year, you must have encountered difficulties. Tell me, what can Uncle Shi do for you?"

Fan Yi smiled obediently and said: "Uncle Shi is really aware of the details. My nephew wants to participate in the literary fair held by the literati in the county, so I hope Uncle Shi can help introduce him."

Zhu Yunzhi laughed and said: "You are interesting, but you are really not like your old-fashioned father. Coincidentally, in a few days it will be the autumn literature fair, and I will let Wenxuan take you there. If you come a few days late, you will We can only wait a few more months for the winter literary conference.”

Fan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Zhu Shishu: "Thank you, Shishu!"

Zhu Yunzhi raised his hand and stroked his short beard, and said, "Go back, study hard, you will take the provincial examination next year, and come back after the examination."

Fan Yi lowered his head and said yes.

After walking out of Zhu's mansion, Fan Yi looked at the various foods and books in his hands, and smiled wryly in his heart.

Obviously there are so many ways to survive in this life, how could he be so foolish as to be tricked into the palace and ruined his own life.

Fan Yi walked briskly on the side of the street, he found that he was slowly peeling off from the hurt he had suffered, and would no longer cry for that flamboyant prince in the silent night.
