Finally, the noisy Changchunfang gradually became quiet.
In Changchunfang, which was originally bustling with people, now only Song Huan, Cheng Susu and Ma Shaoxing were left.
Ma Shaoxing quickly recovered from his surprise and bowed deeply in the direction of Song Huan.
"I'm dismounting, Shaoxing, to thank His Highness the Fourth Prince for helping us out of trouble!"
“His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince’s generous help will be unforgettable!”
Although Ma Shaoxing was just a commoner, he did not show much flattery or timidity when facing the powerful Song Huan.
That attitude of neither being too hasty nor too slow, neither humble nor arrogant, but yet respectful, made Song Huan couldn't help but appreciate the other party even more.
"The one who will help you out today is not this king, but yourself!"
"It was your own talent that saved you."
"If you are a superficial person who can only show off, I will not give you such an opportunity!"
Just now in front of everyone, Song Huan deliberately handed over the power of disposal to Ma Shaoxing, just to test whether this man of humble origin would launch a crazy act of revenge against the superior once he got the power.
But to Song Huan's surprise, Ma Shaoxing was not an insidious villain who was determined to exact revenge.
This made his image in Song Huan's mind even more perfect.
Hearing Song Huan's words, Ma Shaoxing smiled sadly, shook his head and sighed.
"Thank you, His Highness the Fourth Prince, for giving me this opportunity. Probably, this is just my only chance in this life."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will sell all the books at home and replace them with an old scalper to facilitate plowing..."
Song Huan was confused: "Why do you say that?"
Ma Shaoxing said with a helpless smile: "Throughout the ages, only those who came from noble families had the opportunity to study and learn."
"Those who are closest to the water get the moon first. They are only one step away from realizing their ideals!"
"However, it is already a great luxury for a person like me who comes from a humble background to be able to barely read and write."
"I dare not even imagine that one day I will be able to fulfill my ambition and serve the motherland!"
"Your Highness allowed me a chance to express myself in front of them today. I am very satisfied and very grateful."
As he spoke, Ma Shaoxing was extremely sincere and bowed deeply to Song Huan.
"Your Highness, thank you!"
Looking at Ma Shaoxing's sincere look, Song Huan was quite moved for a moment.
Looking at the entire Liang Dynasty, there are by no means a few simple young people with talents and academic ambitions like Ma Shaoxing.
Although they come from humble backgrounds, they have an innocent heart that looks up to the stars.
And this sincerity that is willing to pursue dreams at all costs is precisely what those second-generation ancestors of noble birth cannot compare with!
Looking at Ma Shaoxing, who although his gown was gray and white, but the light in his eyes was shining, Song Huan confirmed an idea in his heart at this moment -
There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, which can shelter all the poor people in the world with joy!
Even if the road ahead is full of difficulties and obstacles, even if there is overwhelming opposition.
However, the imperial examination system that supports poor scholars must be fully implemented in Daliang!
Song Huan was filled with emotion and couldn't help but reached out and patted Ma Shaoxing on the shoulder.
"Who said this is your only chance in this life?"
"I am going to tell you now that you still have many opportunities in your life."
"Your life has just begun!"
"I hope that this time next year, when I see you again, it will be the morning in the Palace of Supreme Harmony."
A trace of astonishment flashed across Ma Shaoxing's face.
"Your Highness, although I come from a poor background, I really don't want to be like those who only take shortcuts and climb up through any shortcuts!"
"I appreciate your kindness..."
Song Huan raised his eyebrows: "Who said that this king is going to provide you with a shortcut?"
"Listen to my advice, keep all those books, work hard, and read them carefully."
"One day, a completely equal opportunity that belongs to you will definitely appear."
Saying that, Song Huan couldn't help but asked for a money bag and stuffed it into Ma Shaoxing's hand.
"I don't usually carry much money with me, but this should be enough for you to buy a cow and use it to plow the land."
Ma Shaoxing was stunned.
He didn't understand that a prince who was aloof and a stranger to him would pay so much attention to a poor man like him!
And the fourth prince's firm eyes gave Ma Shaoxing a lot of hope of surviving a desperate situation.
Faced with Song Huan's kindness, Ma Shaoxing no longer refused.
Instead, he knelt down respectfully and kowtowed heavily to Song Huan.
"The kindness of the fourth prince will never be forgotten by me!"
"I promise the Fourth Prince that I will never give up easily and will wait for my opportunity!"
"This money is considered to be borrowed from you, Your Highness!"
After saying that, Ma Shaoxing straightened his back and walked out of Changchunfang calmly.
This was the first time in Ma Shaoxing's life that he had been in such a glamorous place. He originally thought that this would be his only chance in this life.
But now, when he walked out of Changchunfang, Ma Shaoxing's face was filled with excitement like never before.
He knew that all this was just the beginning!
Looking at Ma Shaoxing's leaving figure, Song Huan nodded with relief.
Tomorrow in the court, Emperor Liang will definitely announce the launch of the imperial examination policy to the whole world.
I don’t know what kind of troubles and changes will happen in the court tomorrow!
Bang——
There was a sound from the second floor, and Song Huan recalled that he almost forgot about Cheng Susu who was still upstairs.
"Hey, are you full?"
"When you are full, I will send you back..."
Song Huan went up the stairs while talking, and when he reached the second floor, he saw Cheng Susu with a shocked expression on his face.
Her delicate face was filled with disbelief. When she looked at Song Huan in front of her, it was as if she was looking at a monster she had never seen before!
Song Huan couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his face: "What are you looking at?"
"What's on my face?"
Cheng Susu finally reluctantly closed her long-awaited mouth. Facing Song Huan at this moment, she really had too many questions that she needed to ask!
"you……"
"How on earth did you do that?"
"Twenty-one poems, twenty-one seven-character quatrains!"
"You just blurted it out without even thinking twice!"
"Why?"
Cheng Susu originally thought that being exported was just an exaggerated description, and would never really happen.
After seeing Song Huan's performance today, Cheng Susu was finally willing to believe——
It turns out that being able to speak well is not an exaggeration at all, but a fact that actually exists!
