Chapter 772: I did a lot of bad things in my previous life
Without waiting for Yan Song to speak, Shen Shuhan said slowly: "The opportunity to take the pre-exam is rare. Whether you pass or not, you can still participate in this year's autumn exam. It's a good time to train. What do you think, Sixth Prince?"
Shen Shuhan looked at Xiao Tingshan in front of him. His voice was gentle, but it had an irrefutable aura.
Yan Song looked up at Xiao Tingshan beside him, with a flash of struggle in his eyes.
That's right, he was not from Beijing, but fortunately his home was not far from Beijing. So after hearing the news about the preliminary exam, he rushed to Beijing specially to take part in the preliminary exam and test his level.
Unexpectedly, after the first test, he had an argument with several rich young men in front of a restaurant because his views on the test questions were different from those of the others, and he was beaten black and blue.
Fortunately, Xiao Tingshan came to the rescue and took him in to the Sixth Prince's mansion.
These days, he has been hesitating whether to continue to participate. After all, his results in the first round of preliminary exams were not very good.
Later, he chatted with Xiao Tingshan several times in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and heard him talk about the importance of cherishing opportunities, accumulating strength for a breakthrough, and not blindly following others and becoming impatient in pursuit of fame, wealth and power.
He was touched and felt that he might have lost his way.
He asked himself if he was not talented enough, and if he came here rashly, wouldn't he be just like those people who were chasing fame and fortune, putting the cart before the horse?
He is like this before he even enters the officialdom. If he really becomes an official, I wonder how he will lose his original intention?
Therefore, Yan Song thought that his character was not strong enough and his academic level was not enough, so he planned to return to his hometown to continue studying hard.
It’s better not to take this preliminary exam.
However, Xiao Tingshan invited him to stay in his mansion temporarily, saying that there were many great scholars and talented people in the capital, and that staying in the capital to study would have a better future than staying in the countryside.
Only by seeing more can you know more, and a good environment can always achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Yan Song was indeed persuaded. After being in Beijing for a few days, he had already seen the gap between himself and the people here.
But he was short of money and could not stay in Beijing for long.
However, Xiao Tingshan warmly invited him to stay, saying that he did not want any reward. His only request was that if he could achieve fame in the future, he should promise to be a good official who works for the people.
He was deeply touched, but still couldn't make up his mind.
Xiao Tingshan only told him that those who achieve great things do not pay attention to trivial matters, and he did not say anything more.
Although he was moved, he was not a fool.
If he accepted Xiao Tingshan's kindness and stayed in the Sixth Prince's Mansion at this moment, he would owe Xiao Tingshan a great favor in the future.
How can I not repay such a great favor?
Moreover, I am afraid that the day he enters the court, he will be labeled as a member of the Sixth Prince's party.
Therefore, he was reluctant to agree.
He came here today because he was hesitant. He thought he was not talented enough to get a ranking, but he couldn't stop being excited.
But I didn't expect to meet Xiao Tingshan here again...
Shen Shuyi saw through what he was thinking and knew that Yan Song really couldn't get a very good ranking at the moment.
After all, in his previous life, he was able to get the top spot six years later.
"Mr. Yan, if you can't make up your mind, just follow your heart. However, the opportunity for the preliminary exam is rare. Now many people in Beijing are taking part in it just to gain experience." Shen Shuyi spoke again.
What she said was true. Considering the scale and environment of the Autumn Examination, an examination funded by the imperial court could be said to be a rare opportunity to accumulate experience.
With such an attempt, no matter what the ranking is, you will always have a better idea of what to expect when the real exam comes.
Although the time for this pre-examination was tight, all the students from the surrounding areas who could come came.
"Sixth Prince, what do you think?" Shen Shuyi looked at Xiao Tingshan sarcastically.
Xiao Tingshan's eyes were gloomy. He didn't expect that the person he tried so hard to keep would be disrupted because of running into Shen Shuyi and his sister here.
Xiao Tingshan looked at Yan Song and said in a gentle voice: "Princess Mingzhu is right. If Master Yan feels that he is ready, he can give it a try."
Yan Song was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on Shen Shuyi: "So the young lady is the famous Princess Mingzhu, I admire you!"
As soon as Yan Song finished speaking, Xie Jingchi pulled the corner of his lip and said sarcastically: "Since you have heard of the name of Princess Mingzhu, I wonder if you have heard that the Sixth Prince once killed an innocent girl and caused the Huang couple to hang themselves outside the palace gate in order to seek justice!"
Yan Song looked up and saw a man as white as jade and as handsome as a demon, leaning on a chair. His fingers were as slender as jade, and he was playing with a fan with a seductive painting of Zhong Kui catching ghosts.
He is obviously full of laziness, but he is also extremely fierce, which makes people afraid to act recklessly for some reason.
Xiao Tingshan's expression turned a little ugly: "Thank you, sir, this matter..."
Xiao Tingshan wanted to explain something, but Xie Jingchi interrupted him impatiently: "His Majesty has punished you with twenty lashes of cane outside the palace for this matter. How come, now that the Crown Prince has become the Sixth Prince, you have forgotten this matter?"
Xiao Tingshan's face turned pale and he couldn't stop coughing a few times.
Xie Jingchi didn't want to waste time talking to him, but looked at Yan Song and said, "There's still one stick of incense left before you can't enter. Why don't you go?"
Yan Song came back to his senses and bowed to thank them: "Thank you very much."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran back to get his book box, then hurried towards the entrance for the pre-examination.
Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips and was in a good mood.
Yan Song is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is very smart. It's just that he is not very worldly-wise and doesn't know how treacherous people can be.
After Yan Song left, Xiao Tingshan's eyes lingered on Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi.
After a while, Xiao Tingshan slowly said, "Apart from my poor health, how can he compare to me? Are you sure you want to marry him?"
Xiao Tingshan pointed at Xie Jingchi, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Shuyi.
Hearing this, Xie Jingchi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Shuyi, wanting to hear what she would say.
"It seems that the Sixth Prince is really weak in the kidneys, with cold stagnation and stagnation, so much so that he can't even urinate to look at himself." Shen Shuyi sneered.
Xiao Tingshan clenched his fingers, the gentleness on his face finally disappeared, and his eyes looked at Shen Shuyi with murderous intent that could not be concealed.
Shen Shuyi didn't care either, he just said: "The future of bad people will be struck by lightning. The Sixth Prince is so weak, I think he did too many bad things in his previous life."
Lou Yulan looked at Xiao Tingshan's ugly face and couldn't help but said, "Shen Shuyi! Don't go too far!"
Lou Yulan couldn't believe that Shen Shuyi could be so rude.
Shen Shuyi sneered: "Lou Yulan, the things you treasure are worthless in the eyes of others. If you treasure your Sixth Prince so much, you'd better tie him up with a rope and tie him up in the mansion."
"You...you...cousin is in power now, why has she become like this? The Sixth Prince has always been gentle and polite to you, but you are so domineering and humiliate him! Aren't you afraid that the Empress Dowager will find out?" Lou Yulan's eyes were red, and she still looked like an angry little white flower.
The woman in front of him was the same as her in her previous life, and Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips, her almond eyes deep: "I hope you will still protect him like this in a month."
