Joy of Life: Season 2 庆余年第二季 Episode 17

When Wang Qinian learned that Shi Chanli was staying at Tongfu Inn, he asked Deng Ziyue to take people to the inn to protect Shi Chanli, fearing that he would be silenced. He Zongwei couldn't afford to kneel before Chief Fan, and wanted to accept Fan Xian as his teacher but was rejected. He shamelessly wanted to recognize Fan Xian as his godfather, just to gain fame in the Chunwei scientific examination. Fan Xian was disgusted with his condescending expression and forcibly removed him. He drives away.

Fan Xian took Wang Qinian to Tongfu Inn to find Shi Chanli. Deng Ziyue reported in detail Shi Chanli's every move, and also inquired about the three candidates in the same room, namely Yang Wanli, Cheng Jialin and Hou Jichang. The four of them are now Fan Xian was curious about the wall being built in the Examination Yuan, so he took Wang Qinian and Deng Ziyue to the Examination Yuan.

Guo Zheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, gave the work of renovating the courtyard wall to the candidates, so that the candidates from poor families could earn some money. Shi Chanli also came to work to earn living expenses. Guo Zheng came to the construction site every day and even carried wood to let the painter paint his portrait. Fan Xian pretended to be an examinee and came to work. He took the initiative to greet Shi Chanli. Shi Chanli introduced Hou Jichang to Fan Xian and revealed to Fan Xian that the quality of the new bricks was very poor and not as strong and durable as the old bricks. Yang Wanli also discovered that the bricks There was a problem and he wanted to go to Fan Xian to report that they were selling off inferior products. Hou Jichang advised Yang Wanli to put the overall situation first and not to delay his own future because of this matter. Yang Wanli left in anger.

Hou Jichang and Shi Chanli revealed to Fan Xian that all the candidates who came here to work were recorded. They wanted to leave a good impression on Guo Zheng. If they could talk to Guo Zheng, their examination papers would be given priority for review. Hou Jichang also told the shady story of Chunwei. The high officials in the court, the palace and the imperial college would recommend a few famous students every time. Candidates with rich and powerful families would go through the back door and rely on connections to hope to become the disciples of these people. There are some literary celebrities to take care of, and there are only a few places left for thousands of candidates. They are just decorations to accompany the exams. Yang Wanli also provided Fan Xian with many clues.

Fan Xian learned the inside story of Chunwei from Hou Jichang, Yang Wanli and Shi Chanli. He was stunned. Fan Xian came to Guo Zheng to learn about the situation of shoddy goods. Guo Zheng swore that he was an upright official. He took the replaced wood The materials and stones were all recorded and stored in the warehouse of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Guo Zheng took out the list of candidates who came to work in the examination hall today and insisted that they were all opportunistic people. Fan Xian declared on the spot that every candidate would be given fairness and justice. Just, burn the list.

Fan Xian was walking on the street and saw the candidates who had not stayed in the inn sitting on the floor. They were studying hard. Fan Xian felt very uncomfortable when he thought that they would all be the victims of Chun Wei. Li Chengze asked Xie Bian to send people to follow Fan Xian, but nothing unusual was found. He did not dare to take it lightly and asked Xie Bian to send people to monitor Shi Chanli.

Fan Xian saw from a distance that the door of his house was surrounded by people. He and Wang Qinian got off the car to see what was going on. Civil and military officials sent people to send gifts to Fan's house, hoping that Fan Xian would take care of their disciples. Among them was Xin Qiwu in casual clothes. Xian pulled Wang Qinian and hid aside. Fan Jian guessed the purpose of those officials and turned a blind eye to them. They had no choice but to leave the gifts and the list and leave. Li Chengqian led people into Fan Mansion through the back door and brought generous gifts. Fan Xian was not at home. Li Chengqian was very interested in the waterwheel he developed and played with it curiously, but accidentally broke it apart.

Fan Xian then rushed home. Li Chengqian took out the list of disciples and asked Fan Xian to use the back door for them when copying. Lin Ruofu sent someone to call Fan Xian and asked Fan Xian to help him pull out his beard and help Dabao pick red fruits. Fan Xian was puzzled. Lin Ruofu reminded Fan Xian to be careful in this spring, otherwise he will be in catastrophe. He asked military advisor Yuan Hongdao to strictly screen the list of candidates received by the Fan Mansion, and finally selected a few people for Fan Xian to take more care of.
