Chapter 23
The teacher entered the door of the elementary school at this time, and saw that Shen Jingyuan had put down his pen, and went forward to pick up the test paper, only to see that the handwriting on it was twisted and crooked, which looked very similar.

He stroked his beard and mocked: "What a coincidence, the old man also likes calligraphy, Miss Jin, once I read this volume, I know it wasn't written by you."

He continued to read the test paper with a smile, but the smug smile on his face gradually faded after reading the questions. After a long time, he read the entire answer sheet, and his expression was quite excited: "This paper? Who answered it?" Shen Jingyuan was asked by the teacher The reaction was startled: "This, this is what Li Shang did."

"But Mr. Li, the disciple who was accepted by the adults not long ago?"

"Yes!"

The old man looked excited, took the exam questions and said a few words, and ignored Shen Jingyuan, and hurriedly turned and left the primary school to look for Zhao Yong's trace.

At this time, Zhao Yong was returning home after finishing his work, just sat down and hadn't warmed up yet, when he heard from the servant that someone asked to see him.

The old man came to Zhao Yong with the test paper in his hands and handed it over: "My lord, Mr. Li Shang is really an excellent candidate!"

He said excitedly: "This volume is the most difficult one in the previous year's scientific examination. I wanted to embarrass Ms. Jin for not being able to do the questions and punish me for copying big characters. The insights and thoughts in this volume are different, which is rare in the world, and this is a genius!"

Zhao Yong bowed his head to review the test paper, and had to admit that the answers to this paper were excellent, but...

"Although the idea is unique and effective, it is not difficult to see the extremes hidden in the style of the person doing the problem. Li Shangruo grows up like this, and it will be difficult to grasp afterward."

However, the old man disagreed: "There is no unparalleled road, and the questions in this volume are all resurgent methods of reversing the situation to survive the dead, just like Master Xiao Song's style of doing things 16 years ago, which is rare in the world. This is a natural genius, my lord." You should train him carefully so that he will go to the scientific examination, the old man can say that if this person enters the officialdom, there will be a storm in the court, a big change in the situation, which is beneficial to you, and even more beneficial to His Majesty!"

Zhao Yong raised his head: "Mr. Shu, this son has some talent, but his character has not been completely stabilized. I want to polish him for a few years before he becomes an official."

The old man was puzzled: "What do you mean? Mr. Li will not be allowed to end the scientific examination next spring?"

"Yes, if a young man's heart is not stable, it is very easy to be controlled by the left and right and give birth to a change."

"But..." the old man hesitated to speak, "I heard that Madam is currently selecting a good son-in-law for Miss Jin. I think Mr. Li treats Ms. Jin like... If Mr. Li doesn't end this year, how about he will have no fame..."

Before he could finish the rest, Zhao Yong interrupted: "Mr. Shu, he can't marry Jinjin."

"Bang Dang." The sound of the teapot breaking came from outside the door.

Li Shang, who was about to go back to the hospital to study, was asked to deliver a cup of tea because he encountered a tea delivery boy who had sudden stomach cramps. He came to Zhao Yong's study with a plate, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when he heard own name.

He didn't want to eavesdrop at first, but unexpectedly he overheard Master Zhao's words that would not let him go, and then, it was the matter of marriage.

When he heard that sentence, for some reason, his heart froze, and he subconsciously let go of the tray, and the blue and white teapot fell to the ground and shattered.

Mr. Shu opened the door and saw that it was Li Shang, his eyes were slightly startled, and he looked sideways at the people in the study.

Zhao Yong said: "Come in."

After Li Shang stepped into the study, his chaotic thoughts seemed to be dragged back. He was silent for a long time, and then he looked up at Zhao Yong and asked, "My lord, I know that I am lowly and not worthy of Miss Jin, but the world is still uncertain. How do you know that I am not worthy of being a dark horse when the game is over?"

Zhao Yong looked at the cold and proud Li Shang, who was a little dazed, and seemed to overlap with the figure in his memory, he said slowly: "Li Shang, since ancient times, you have been studying literature and politics, you are the No. .”

"You are even smarter than me. You have studied in the countryside for eight years. Since you came to Kyoto, you have offered a reward order to earn money. Since then, you have devoted yourself to studying all books, relying on your memory. The ability is engraved in the brain, and he will be the leader of the academy examination."

Zhao Yong put down the test paper in his hand and said again: "You said that you are not worthy of Jinjin because of your humble status, but this official thinks... that Jinjin is not worthy of you."

Li Shang raised his head in surprise, and heard Zhao Yong say again: "Jin Jin was born with poison in her body, her body is weak, and she has been demented and stupid for 12 years. If it hadn't been for the celestial throttling and backwardness, she just recovered her mind because of a blessing in disguise, I'm afraid she would be caught behind her back. You have ridiculed a fool all your life, but you have the talent that ordinary students dream of, in the eyes of this official, it will be a matter of time before you get an official robe and become a laurel."

"If you are in high school by then, you will not be able to marry some noble princess in Kyoto? Why waste it on my innocent and silly Jin Jin'er?"

Li Shang curled up his hands under his sleeves, remembering his very secret thoughts: "I..."

Zhao Yong looked at him with a smile: "Don't you want to say Xinyue Jinjin?"

They had known each other for nearly half a year, did he like her?Yeah?
Li Shang was thinking on the spot and didn't speak.

"My lord, I have lived for 16 years. All the time I have thought about how to have a full stomach, how to study, how to make money, and never thought about how to like someone." Li Shang shook his head: "I don't know how to be happy." What does it feel like, but I understand that Zhao Jinjin is all over Li Shang's body from Fucheng to Kyoto all the way, from outside Liu's mansion when he was unconscious and suddenly shot."

"Yesterday, when I heard Luluo say that Mrs. Ling wanted to choose a husband for Jinjin, I felt as if I was taking suffocating poison. I couldn't breathe, and it seemed as if I was strangled by the throat, and it was difficult to survive. I have never experienced this before. Thinking about it Go, it should be the love between a man and a woman, sir, you are right, I, Li Shang, love Zhao Jinjin."

After listening to this passage, Zhao Yong looked at him quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time Li Shang continued: "If I were in high school, I would definitely marry Jinjin as my bride. You are so harsh now, ordering the mother-in-law and Mr. Shu to be so strict with her, is it because you are afraid that she will marry her husband's family secretly in the future?" Is the land subject to people's supercilious glances and scrutiny?"

"If I marry Jinjin, she will be carefree and never suffer."

The Mr. Shu at the side was quite moved when he saw the young man who was full of vigor and enthusiasm. At this moment, he seemed to see their youthful appearance.

Zhao Yong finally spoke up: "But I still can't let you marry Jinjin."

"Why?"

Zhao Yong got up and came to Li Shang's side, his majestic eyes stared at him closely: "You will know soon."

"I can let you go in the imperial examination, but you don't have to think about the Jinjin matter, don't mention it again."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yong opened the door and left. Mr. Shu looked at Li Shang, sighed and patted his shoulder, then ran to the place where Zhao Yong left.

The boy turned around, and there was a ripple in his quiet eyes.
