Xiao Duan has never met Yu Pu, and all her knowledge comes from Chen Gui's narration.
Hearing what Chen Gui said, she couldn't help but think more highly of this young man.
"If you have real talent and knowledge, it would be great if you can put it to use in the examination room." Xiao Duan sighed.
It is really not easy for students from poor families to get ahead.
They do not have an outstanding background and can only work hard on their own.
Not to mention the huge differences in the teachers you can hire when you are young, even if you have learned some skills, the paths you can take are also different.
Like Lin Yu, he was able to meet the late emperor at a young age and express his thoughts frankly. As long as he had real ability, he would not be afraid of being buried.
As for later staying away from the center and only serving as a sinecure in the Hanlin Academy, that was a personal choice.
If he changes his mind tomorrow and wants to show off his talents, there will be plenty of opportunities.
The children of official families are weaker.
However, with elders guiding the way, there are still many opportunities.
As for the children from poor families, they can only take the scientific examination.
If you have bad luck in the exam, if you perform abnormally, then even your extraordinary abilities will have to be buried.
Lin Yunyan has great confidence in Yu Pu.
In the past, Yu Pu only had a mediocre official career, and was demoted from the capital for running around for his father and the uncle's house, but he was not concerned about being named on the gold list.
"Don't worry," Lin Yunyan said to Xiao Duan. "Looking back, we will see how many powerful people can come out of Laoshi Alley. When the No. 1 Scholar comes out of the alley, you can just wait to collect the cash next year."
Xiao Duan laughed.
Speaking of the money, she added, "I was worried before that Yu Pu would be angry when he saw the money."
She thought about being more roundabout, but the girl Yun Yan glanced at her again and again, and saw that she had no intention of going around in circles. She whipped up the whip to let the horse spread its hooves as straight as she wanted.
Lin Yunyan smiled and said, "You know best how people's words can be feared.
It would be okay if there was no incident between Liu and Zheng's family. However, a while ago, how many people mentioned that Mr. Liu was a hero who saved the beauty back then. How can serious candidates nowadays dare to get such a reputation again?
You have the best of intentions to help, but you would not be happy if you were asked to point fingers. Of course I can't give away cured duck and sausage. "
Xiao Duan laughed and gave Lin Yunyan a light slap: "Duck and sausage, a happy New Year gift!"
Lin Yunyan also laughed.
It is indeed a good New Year gift for other families, and the third aunt is extremely considerate in her work.
But for Yu Pu, it is not as real as paper, pen and money.
"If he wasn't a sincere person, he wouldn't have left his name anonymous that day," Lin Yunyan said. "You are sincere, and Yu Pu is also sincere. Sincerity is replaced by sincerity, how could he be angry?"
Xiao Duan nodded.
Straight forward, she was still thinking and learning, but sincerity and sincerity had been with her for decades, and she was very familiar with it.
Xiao Duan said: "We will also talk to Yun Jing and her daughter later to reassure them."
Lin Yunyan agreed.
When she arrived at Qingpuyuan, she told the story.
Mrs. Huang was frightened that day, but she has been nursing him for the past few days. Hearing this, his expression became much more relaxed: "That's good, that's good. He is kind to us. If we don't find him, please say thank you. I will always remember him in my heart." "
Lin Yunjing also said: "It's a pity that I sprained my foot. Otherwise, when I went to each house to send thank you gifts, I should have gone together."
Lin Yunyan knew her temperament and said with a smile: "It's been a hundred days since my bones and muscles were broken. It's important for my eldest sister to take a good rest. Calculating the time, after a hundred days it will be time to make a list of celebrities. If Yu Pu is named on the list, eldest sister will just say thank you and congratulate her."
Lin Yunjing glanced at her swollen ankle and said angrily, "You made the arrangements clearly."
The two sisters laughed and played.
On the side, Grandma Hong was also smiling from ear to ear, and then, with a thought in her mind, she turned to look at Mrs. Huang.
Mrs. Huang had a smile on her face, and she was very happy that the sisters were close to each other, but Grandma Hong knew that Mrs. Huang was worried about her.
She is very anxious about her daughter's future.
Since breaking off the engagement with Su Ke, Huang's mouth
Said it many times.
Don't be in a hurry, take your time, and don't encounter those ghost-hearted people in human skin again.
Those are all true words.
But when she calmed down and didn't let the eldest girl hear her, the second lady would also say a few words to her in private.
"There is definitely nothing wrong with canceling the engagement, and we are reasonable, but there are some things that cannot be justified."
"After withdrawing from a kiss once, other people will have some thoughts when it comes to kissing again."
"I know what you are going to say. Those people who have weird ideas, we Yunjing don't want to join in and suffer the consequences."
"But I just thought, when will there be a good family?"
"If I can understand the truth, treat Yun Jing kindly, and Yun Jing can marry happily, I will be satisfied."
Grandma Hong understood that Huang's eagerness but not daring to be anxious was exactly the mother's sincere affection for her daughter.
There are many families in the capital who know the truth, and if they have any intention of getting married, they would have revealed it long ago.
If you are a new rich...
Grandma Hong couldn't say whether the new scholars would be expensive.
But when she looked at Yu Pu, the young man was young. Not to mention how handsome he was, at least he had good features.
Thinking in this direction, Grandma Hong felt more and more that Yu Pu was good.
It seems that I need to ask Aunt Wang to come out and check Yu Pu's family carefully. Everything else doesn't matter, as long as there is no fixed marriage in my hometown.
That's really a lot of unnecessary things.
However, that’s all for later.
You still have to pass the exam first.
The princess's suggestion was very good. When the time came, she would thank and congratulate her and ask the eldest girl to take a closer look at Yu Pu first.
If she could like it, she would mention it to the madam and ask the old madam to consider it.
at dusk.
Lin Yunyan changed into men's clothes and went out, finding a private room in a restaurant not far from Shuntian Mansion.
After drinking some hot drinks and sitting for a while, Xu Jian arrived.
Lin Yunyan looked him up and down and said, "Didn't Master Shan stop me?"
Xu Jian knew she was joking.
He can come and go freely in Shuntian Mansion, and Shan Shen does not pay his salary, so who will control when he arrives and when he leaves?
However, since he said he would get the seal in Shuntian Mansion, he certainly didn't slack off.
"After filling my stomach, I will go back to accompany Mr. Shan to approve documents," Xu Jian sat down and said, "It is indeed not as comfortable as in Taohe Zhai."
Lin Yunyan strongly agrees with this point.
If anything happened before, she could discuss it with Xu Jian face to face by going to Taohe Zhai.
Xu Jian said: "Yu Pu came to the Yamen in the afternoon."
When Lin Yunyan heard this, she smiled and said, "There are people in the Yamen who are easy to do."
Xu Jian reported a few more names, all of which were famous on the list before, especially Dong Xuan, the number one scholar, who sounded familiar to Lin Yunyan.
"They all live in Lao Shi Lane?" she asked.
"No," Xu Jian said, "When the list is published, it would be bad to be too conspicuous."
Furthermore, there are indeed a group of very difficult candidates, and they must be accommodated.
The two talked about business for a while, and Lin Yunyan returned to the matter of Su Ke: "Fleeing for three thousand miles, the Holy Lord's sentence will be very severe."
Heavier than she expected.
Xu Jian sipped her tea.
I asked him to say that for such a result, Shan Shen took the greatest credit.
Mr. Shan wears many hats on others, and his kickbacks are accurate and ruthless.
"It's better to be harsher," Xu Jian said. "If you sentence someone else's son harshly, you can't sentence your own son lightly in the future."
