Fang Xiaowen never expected that when he first met this good princess, his first words would be so straightforward. So after hearing Su Tang ask him, he directly raised his head and looked at Su Tang, "I hope to inherit the glory of my ancestors."
Su Tang dared to ask such a straightforward question, and Fang Xiaowen actually dared to answer such a straightforward answer. After saying this, Su Tang smiled, "Aren't Fang Juren afraid that this county will spread this word?"
What does it mean to inherit the glory of one's ancestors? Fang Xiaowen's ancestor once had a minister, which was the greatest glory of the Fang family. However, after a few generations, the Fang family fell into decline.
Fang Xiaowen told Su Tang straightforwardly that he wanted to be an official, or a high-ranking official of the Six Ministers. This was a third-rank official in the imperial court, second only to the senior cabinet ministers. If this word spread, it would not sound good.
Although there are so many scholars nowadays, in the final analysis, after studying hard for so many years, they actually want to be an official. But scholars, for that matter, always pretend that they are indifferent to fame and fortune, and will not put such things as wanting to be a high official. In the mouth.
He only says that he hopes to be able to show off his talents and govern the people in the future. In fact, he just wants to be an official.
Su Tang is used to the pretentiousness of literati. Of course, if you are really weird, you won't be like this, like Song Yi.
Having lived to Song Yi's age, she has experienced a lot, and she has long been eclectic in speaking and doing things. Otherwise, she would not have accepted a disciple like Su Tang who did not follow the ordinary path, and she would have loved her very much.
At Fang Xiaowen's age, Su Tang asked Orange Mao to find out in advance. This Fang Juren had a really good reputation in Qingyuan County. He was generally praised for his modesty.
But if he says so bluntly that he wants to be a high official, he will definitely be criticized if word spreads. Everyone is pretending, but for you to be so straightforward, aren't you out of line
"The princess will not, and I think the princess is not willing to listen to those useless lies. If she really was indifferent to fame and wealth, I would not come to see the princess today." Fang Xiaowen heard Su Tang ask himself this , also said it very neatly and directly.
The few words that Fang Xiaowen had heard about the good princess before were not as good as the actual feelings after meeting her. Fang Xiaowen's good reputation in Qingyuan County was not only that he was humble and kind to others, but also because he had very keen observation skills.
The first time he saw Su Tang, he knew that this princess was definitely not what the legend in the capital said, so when answering questions, he chose to be straightforward instead of saying those hypocritical words, which looked nice but were all nonsense.
Could it be that he came to see the princess in person today just to see if the legendary princess was good-looking and vulgar? Of course not, he just came to seek his own future, so what else could he have to cover up
He never felt that it was wrong for him to be ambitious. If a man stands in this world without pursuit or ambition, what is the meaning of his existence
When Su Tang heard Fang Xiaowen's answer, he looked at the person in front of him with interest. To be honest, before meeting Fang Xiaowen, Su Tang specifically asked Orange Cat to go out and inquire about this person. But even if he got some information before, after When I met Fang Xiaowen himself, I was still a little surprised.
Beneath the seemingly gentle surface, he has his own sharpness. What is important is that he is very careful and has strong observation skills. The moment he met her, he chose to express his desires and ambitions straightforwardly. This decisiveness It is also very rare.
