Chapter 113: Insulting
Fan Jiayi didn't expect Fang Lingchu to ask this, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
I can only helplessly say: "How shameful, how shameful, it turns out that women just like to make trouble for no reason."
Fan Jiayi's words simply hit Fang Lingchu's sore spot!
Fang Lingchu sneered and asked, "Unreasonable, may I ask what I meant by unreasonable? You can't explain it clearly, but you call others unreasonable. Then what are you doing now? Are you a scoundrel?"
You are also studying the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. If Confucius and Mencius knew they had such a disciple, they would definitely be mad at you and beat you to death.
Confucius said: If three people walk together, one of them can be my teacher. But you said: Only three men can be qualified to be my teacher.
Confucius advocated benevolence, righteousness and propriety, which applies to everyone, not just you men. Now only women are taking the imperial examinations. Why should you feel unbalanced?
Look at you, you don't have the ability to go to His Majesty, so you come to the door of our Fang family to cause trouble for a little girl like me. What qualifications do you have to come here and say that you are students? This is what your teacher taught you. You can't make His Majesty take back his order, so you come to make things difficult for me.
Besides, you have the ability to pass the imperial examination! You come to the court to confront me, useless trash, you only know how to bully the weak. If I were a man, I would feel ashamed. Oh no, it should be, as a human being, I despise having the same kind as you. "
Fang Lingchu became more and more excited as he spoke, and his eyes and tone were full of contempt.
Citizen 1: This is the first time I’ve heard of someone being cursed like this!
Commoner 2: But I feel that what Lord Xiao Fang said is right. Look at these students. They don’t review well. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. They are not as good as us common people!
Citizen 3: So what? At least they are students, they are definitely different from us.
Citizen 4: Our Lord Xiao Fang is so nice. He even took us to eat melons and reported those officials who bullied us. I heard that Lord Xiao Fang’s fiefdom provides many good benefits to the people, and they all want to go, but Lord Xiao Fang said that it will be available all over the country in the future, and everyone is waiting.
Citizen 5: That's right. If there was no Lord Xiao Fang, what would happen to us common people who were bullied by that corrupt official? I also heard that Lord Xiao Fang saved His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and General Gu was also rescued by Lord Xiao Fang. So what's wrong with letting women take the imperial examinations? Even letting women be self-reliant is fine.
Citizen 6: That's right, women are also from our Dragon Country. Besides, those women are all capable people! They are all working for us ordinary people. Like Miss Su, after she went to the Dali Temple, many unjust cases were dealt with fairly.
Citizen 7: That’s right, as long as it’s for us ordinary people, what does it matter whether it’s a man or a woman!
Commoner N: Tsk, they only know how to bully the weak. If such a person becomes an official, we ordinary people will definitely suffer. We support Lord Xiao Fang and don’t let such a person take the exam.
After he said this, many people said: We support Lord Xiao Fang in not allowing these people to take the exam, we support, we support...
The voices of the people rose and fell, making the students present understand that Fang Lingchu had a different belief in the people of Longguo.
The man was so angry that he fainted. Fang Lingchu rolled his eyes and had him taken away.
When the others heard what the people said, they swallowed their saliva, and the elephant ran away.
Unfortunately, they were surrounded by the Gu family generals and no one could escape.
Fang Lingchu retracted his gaze, looked at the others gently, and asked, "If anyone else wants to ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Everyone: Who would dare to do this? Look at those common people, and then look at those ferocious and vicious generals of the Gu family.
Students: Wow, they shouldn’t have been instigated to come to Fang Mansion to cause trouble for Master Fang. They were wrong.
The prince watched for a long time in the crowd. Seeing that Fang Lingchu had almost finished dealing with the situation, he came out and said, "Write down the names of these people. The leader will never be allowed to take the imperial examinations. The next three generations will also be banned from taking the examinations. The rest of the people will also not be allowed to take the examinations for the next three years."
After saying that, the others were so frightened when they heard the news that some of them fainted.
Some people just cry out that they are being wronged!
"Your Highness, we are wronged. We didn't mean to cause trouble to Master Xiao Fang. We were just here to watch the fun!"
"Your Highness, we don't have it! Your Highness, please, my family has paid a lot for my studies!"
Everyone sighed, but it was useless. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not kill them all because Fang Lingchu said that innocent people should not be killed for the sake of the country's fortune.
Fang Lingchu watched as everyone was led away and said to the people, "Thank you all for your trust in me. I will definitely assist you as an official. Also, Your Majesty is a very good person. Everyone must trust Your Majesty and follow His Majesty no matter what decision He makes."
When everyone heard Fang Lingchu's words, they nodded repeatedly.
Then Fang Lingchu went back.
After all, everyone has an exam tomorrow.
Fang Lingchu still had to prepare for the exams for her brothers and sisters and Lin Wanrou, so she didn't have time to play with them.
The rest of the matter was handled by the Crown Prince and Ducheng's government.
After Fang Lingchu entered, the Fang family closed the door directly.
Those students were taken away, and some ordinary people wanted to see whether the prince would really deal with those people.
So I went along.
When Fang Lingchu came back, she saw her mother and grandparents looking at her in confusion, as if they had seen a ghost.
Especially Fang Lingchu's grandparents, they are really incredible.
Fang Lingchu's aunt's eyes were filled with tears, tears of joy at being recognized.
She herself is a person who is capable but has to get married.
She was the daughter of a general. Her mother died early, and her father had been at the frontier since he married a stepmother, leaving her alone. She was often bullied by her stepmother. If it weren't for the people her mother left behind and her own strong fighting ability, she would have died in that family long ago.
In order to annoy her, her stepmother married her to a merchant family. Unexpectedly, this was the best choice the stepmother had ever made for her.
Because Fang Lingchu's uncle is a very good person. Although he likes romance, he always knows his limits and will not have ambiguous relationships with others, nor does he have concubines.
He was also very good to her. Later, when he found out that she liked to practice martial arts, he spent a lot of money to hire a teacher for her.
At first she was afraid of being scolded by her parents-in-law, but she didn't expect that her parents-in-law were also very good people. After knowing about it, they not only supported her, but also encouraged other female relatives to keep fit.
She was really happy. She had never had maternal love since she was a child, but after coming to the Qi family, she got it.
Since the news that women could take the imperial examinations came out, she has been waiting to see whether one day women in the military science exams would also be able to take part.
So does her daughter have a chance too?
Fang Lingchu looked at her family and smiled and said, "Mother, what are you looking at? Don't you recognize me? I am your most beloved daughter."
