Zhao Ji did not leave the palace often, so in the following days, Pan Jinlian went to Master Li, but did not see Zhao Ji and did not tell Zhao Ji about her decision.
When Master Li learned about Pan Jinlian's decision, he sighed and said nothing.
She can understand Pan Jinlian's choice very well.
In fact, if it weren't for her background, she would have wanted to enter the palace.
But she was born in a brothel, and the ministers and ladies in the palace would never allow her to enter the palace.
Allowing the emperor to come to Fengle Tower to see her was already the bottom line for those people.
If the emperor showed his intention to bring her into the palace, her death would be the next day.
She doesn't want to die.
Days like these are pretty good.
Zhao Ji often comes to see her, and the boss of Fengle Building has to provide for her.
Zhao Ji was not a stingy person and gave her a lot of things.
She accumulated these treasures, and when Zhao Ji got tired of her, she could redeem herself, leave Fengle Tower, and find a small town to live in.
It would be better if she could be accompanied by a man who didn't dislike her status as a prostitute.
The figure of a handsome young man appeared in Li Shishi's mind.
Master Li regards Pan Jinlian as a good friend and sincerely hopes that Pan Jinlian will live well.
When I heard that Liu Hao had adopted Pan Jinlian as his sister and asked her to change her surname, I immediately congratulated Pan Jinlian and became even more curious about Liu Hao.
It was a pity that the man was not interested in brothels and women, otherwise she really wanted to meet Liu Hieragi.
Pan Jinlian said: "It's easy for my sister to see my third brother. After my third brother passes his scientific examination, I will invite my sister to play at home, and then my sister will be able to meet my third brother."
Master Li hesitated: "Wouldn't it be bad for you and your brother's reputation if you invite me to your door?"
Pan Jinlian: "Sister, don't come in a big way, just come to my house secretly? Is there anyone else who will follow my sister all the time?"
Master Li smiled: "Okay, after your brother passes the exam, I will visit your home."
Not to mention these two beauties, Liu Heng prepared everything for the exam and was ready to enter the examination room.
Pens, inks, paper and inkstones were prepared with calligraphy and ink, and Liu Hiong's mind was on eating.
If you participate in the examination this time, you won't be unlucky enough to get a bad number, right?
You still have to prepare your food carefully.
Liu Heng didn't want to eat dry food and flour pancakes for nine consecutive days.
He thought of the scientific articles he had read. Some of the protagonists invented instant noodles, which not only ensured his food during the exam, but also made a lot of money.
Liu Heng is rich and will not make such small money.
He just asked the cook to fry the noodles, boiled some broth, and froze them with saltpeter to make simple instant noodles.
After packing some dried meat, Liu Heng entered the examination room with food, pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
He was lucky this time. He was not assigned a bad number, just an ordinary room.
The nine days passed easily.
The homemade instant noodles did not have such an overbearing aroma, which did not cause other candidates to curse Liu Hiiragi.
He left the examination room easily.
Liu Hao is confident about whether he can make the list.
Those years in the world of Red Mansions were not in vain for him.
It will take some time for the rankings to be released, and during this period, Liu Heng is the most leisurely.
Pan Jinlian therefore invited Master Li to visit.
When Liu Heng saw Li Shishi, he found that the beauty of the country was fragrant and beautiful, and he and Pan Jinlian were good at winning each other.
Li Shishi's literary talent was much better than Pan Jinlian's, and he was not far behind in discussing poetry and essays with Liu Tiao.
Truly a talented woman.
Master Li admired Liu Hieragi very much.
The husband of the Liu family is not only young and good-looking, but also has outstanding talents and learning, and his character is also very respectable.
Just because he doesn't have any covetous intentions when he sees him, and treats him as an equal, is enough to show that his character is valuable.
Master Li couldn't help but envy Pan Jinlian's luck, but it was a pity that he didn't meet such a good brother.
After leaving Liu Heng's residence, Master Li returned to his own residence in Fengle Building. He was still thinking of Pan Jinlian and Liu Heng and couldn't help but sigh.
"Why are you sighing, Master? But someone has made you unhappy?" A voice suddenly sounded in her room.
Master Li quickly stood up.
There was only one person who could enter her room at will.
Li Shishi sat down facing the man and said, "It's been a long time since the official came to see Shishi. Master, isn't he missing the official?"
Zhao Ji was happy when he heard this and said, "I'm busy these days. Didn't I just finish my work and come to see you?"
Scientific research is the most important thing for the imperial court. As the emperor, I still have to pay attention to it.
Master Li smiled and said: "I'm very happy that the official can come. Official, I made a poem a few days ago. Please help me appreciate it."
Zhao Ji liked this kind of elegant thing the most, and said hurriedly: "Okay, bring it to me quickly."
The two began to read poetry and draw pictures, and finally went to bed to "chat".
On the second day, Zhao Ji was about to leave with satisfaction.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered another beauty Pan Jinlian whom he had met at Master Li's place.
The beauty's appearance is not inferior to that of Master Li, and she has also read poetry. Although her talent is not as good as that of Master Li, she is much better than the women in the palace.
Moreover, he also has a very exquisite skill in playing the pipa, and his singing voice is even more beautiful. The red sleeves that stay with him add fragrance, and they are also interesting.
The best thing is that this girl is not a prostitute, but a woman from a good family. If she is recruited into the palace, the ministers in the court and the women in the harem will have no reason to object.
But the girl didn't know her identity, so she didn't agree to it immediately and said she would consider it.
I don’t know what she is thinking about now.
Zhao Ji then asked Master Li: "Has your sister from the Pan family come to see you recently?"
Li Shishi's eyes flashed and he snorted coldly in his heart: Man!
With a smile on her face, she said: "Sister Jinlian is busy these days with her brother taking the scientific examination, so she has no time to come to me. By the way, officer, sister Jinlian's surname is not Pan, but Liu. She comes from a good family. Woman, it’s not easy to reveal your real name to your husband, so I made up a surname. Officials, please don’t blame Sister Jinlian for lying to you!”
Zhao Ji: "No, no. She did a good job. Girls really need to be on guard."
Zhao Ji was even more happy when he heard that Pan Jinlian had a younger brother participating in the scientific examination.
This proves that Pan Jinlian was born in a scholarly family and has a high status.
The officials in the court and the women in the harem could not find any reason to object.
Zhao Ji asked: "What is her brother's name?"
After knowing the name, he wanted to help Pan Jinlian's younger brother to get on the list and become a Jinshi.
In this way, Pan Jinlian's status will be higher.
Master Li: "Sister Jin Lian's younger brother is called Liu Tong, and he is Jieyuan of the provincial examination in Province X."
"Jie Yuan! That talent must be very good."
Master Li: "Girl Jin Lian is talented, and her brother is definitely not weak."
Zhao Ji: "That's right."
After getting the good news, Zhao Ji returned to the palace in a happy mood.
When he returned to the palace, he asked his personal eunuch to inquire about Liu Piao's scientific examination results.
Thinking that Liu Hiiragi was not performing well, he stepped in to help him and made sure to make Liu Hiiragi famous on the list.
Unexpectedly, Liu Heng was so impressive that he didn't need Zhao Ji's help at all.
The eunuch found out the news and came back to report to Zhao Ji: "Master Zhao has won the first place in the examination this time."
Zhao Ji was surprised and delighted: "As expected of Jin Lian's younger brother! He is actually Hui Yuan! Okay! Great!"
Zhao Ji thought about sharing this good news with Master Li and asked Master Li to pass it on to Pan Jinlian.
After court the next day, Zhao Ji changed his clothes and left the palace to Fengle Tower.
