For two consecutive days, Fang Zhengyi did not see any sign of Li Yuanzhao in Banshanfang.
He seemed to have been hit too hard and shrank back.
Fang Zhengyi didn't take it seriously. He just happened to have two days off. It would be too much of a fatherly attitude if he were to take the initiative to educate the child. He didn't want to do that.
Besides, young people have short memories and they will recover in a couple of days. There is no need to rush.
He was not completely idle during these two days. He took advantage of this time to catch up on the relevant knowledge about the imperial examination and arranged for Xiaotao to help him with some work preparation.
In order to avoid being exposed, the image of a top student cannot be destroyed! Otherwise, if someone catches you, it will not be as simple as a slap in the face!
I didn’t dare to ask directly, so I could only wait until after the court meeting and then ask others indirectly.
Fortunately, I have gained something and have a general understanding of the process, so I won't be too nervous when the time comes.
I have taken part in the college entrance examination, but compared with the imperial examination, I was instantly crushed!
I have no memory of the imperial examination and have never cared about such things.
Once the county gate is closed, he just plays by himself.
There are scholars in Taoyuan County, but they are locked up tightly by him, and no one can take the exam!
Now, the new generation of students of school age who have grown up are not even talented, and they can only speak plain language, which is not good enough at all....
The county magistrate is "illiterate" and the people under his rule are also "illiterate", which makes sense!
At noon that day, the sky was covered with white clouds and a gentle breeze was blowing.
The entire Fang family gathered in the yard to have lunch, and the servants and guards set up several large tables.
Fang Zhengyi's table was filled with close friends, sitting under the shade of a tree.
There were many dishes on each table, mainly meat dishes.
Taoyuan County sent over a few dairy pigs. We originally wanted to wait until nightfall to eat them, but we couldn’t resist everyone’s greed, so we simply cooked them all at noon.
The fragrance wafted far away on the breeze, causing many people on the street to sniff.
After Fang Zhengyi was the first to pick up his chopsticks, everyone started to eat with relish.
When we were enjoying our meal, an uninvited guest broke in.
A panicked figure appeared in the yard, looking hurried and with disheveled hair.
Fang Zheng was delighted when he saw the newcomers: "Liu Jin? Why are you coming to my house instead of staying in the East Palace? Are you here to eat for free?"
Liu Jin looked at the delicious food on the table, swallowed his saliva, turned around and said loudly and resentfully: "Master Fang, please stop joking."
"You should go to the East Palace and have a look. His Highness hasn't eaten or drunk anything for two days and doesn't want to leave the house! What can we do?"
"I went to the imperial physician and he said I'm not sick!"
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard that.
I haven't eaten for two days! This is not possible with the prince's personality!
Can you starve yourself to death if you feel bad? Maybe you have eaten secretly.
Forget it, ignore him!
"Liu Jin, have you eaten? Let's eat together?" Fang Zheng asked.
Liu Jin said with a helpless smile: "No, no! Sir Fang, you should go and see His Highness... I'm afraid he will get sick from hunger."
Fang Zheng thought about it for a while before speaking: "Your Highness just has no appetite, and the food in the palace is so unpalatable that he can't eat it!"
"Come! Take this elbow and give it to His Highness. Tell him it's from me. This elbow is extremely delicious. You must try it!"
Liu Jin looked at the tempting pork elbow on the table and licked his lips. "Is this... is this okay? Lord Fang, what happened to the prince? Why don't you go there in person?"
"Hey! Your Highness is fine, send him there quickly! Don't waste time, he can't get cold on the way!"
As soon as Fang Zheng touched the pork elbow with his chopsticks, Xiao Tao immediately stood up to get the food box and filled it up, and also picked up a few more dishes.
Before Liu Jin could react, the food box had already been stuffed into his hands.
Fang Zheng stood up, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and walnuts from the table and stuffed them into Liu Jin's sleeves, then waved his hand and said, "Go!"
The skin on Liu Jin's face was twitching!
You're using this to test the eunuchs!? Which eunuch can't stand such a test!
You think of me as a three-year-old child, don’t you?
Originally, I thought that the prince had not eaten or drunk anything for two days and wanted to ask Fang Zhengyi to come over. The two of them had a very good relationship and it should be easy to ask him to do it. I didn't expect Fang Zhengyi to take it so lightly!
Liu Jin said anxiously on the spot: "Sir! It doesn't matter if the food tastes good! I'm afraid if the prince continues like this, something big will happen!"
"He hasn't read a book in the past two days!"
Books? The prince is still reading books?
Fang Zhengyi laughed heartlessly: "What kind of books does Your Highness usually read?"
Liu Jin's face turned red, and he leaned over to whisper something in Fang Zheng's ear.
Everyone at the table could vaguely hear some indescribable book titles.
After hearing this, Fang Zheng was filled with awe!
It's amazing that you can read these boring things every day! Now you don't even read books, it's obvious that there is a big problem!
He didn't even visit the Cao Liu Community (referring to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Forum) so frequently back then!
"Wait a minute! I'll go with you right away!"
After saying that, Fang Zheng stood up and ran back into the house. Not long after, he changed into his official uniform and said to everyone in the courtyard, "Eat! You don't have to wait for me."
Liu Jin was overjoyed and quickly picked up the food box in one hand and pulled Fang Zhengyi's sleeve with the other.
When I got outside, I found that Liu Jin had even prepared the horse.
"Let's go! Tell me on the way what the prince has been doing these past two days!"
