After listening to Ling Yun's words, Mrs. Li was in a daze. She couldn't believe her ears. Her eyes were as wide as bells, and her face suddenly changed. The muscles of her cheeks drooped loosely.
, the mouth was almost astonished and looked like a small round hole.
After a long pause, she leaned forward and approached Ling Yun, and asked cautiously, "Yun'er, you...what did you say? My wife didn't hear clearly just now, why don't you say it again."
It's not that Mrs. Li didn't hear clearly, she just couldn't believe it.
Ling Yun twisted his face and said shyly, "Master's wife, it's Yun'er who accidentally got the first place in the imperial examination, which is often called the number one scholar in the world."
"Really...really?"
Ling Yun nodded towards her.
Mrs. Li confirmed again and again, and immediately burst out laughing without any effort, and kept shouting, "Master, Master, did you hear that, our Yun'er is the number one scholar..."
It is impossible to say that Li Chengyou is not shocked, but after all, he is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. Even though his heart is turbulent, he is still quite calm on the surface.
When Li Chengyou heard the news, he was not surprised at first. After careful consideration, he discovered the flaw.
I thought that Ling Yun had just taken the palace examination today, and the results were not posted until the next day. Even the examiner who marked the papers wanted to know who was the top scholar?
That would have to wait until the examiners have read the test papers of all the candidates, and then submit the test papers of the top three candidates they think are the top three candidates, and then let the emperor make a decision. After this series of operations, the top candidate in this subject can be born.
If we want to say who is the first person to know the number one scholar, it must be the examiner, the Minister of Rites, because he is the one who submits the selected examination papers. After the emperor has made the decision, he will ask him to draft the edict.
Therefore, what Ling Yun just said was too far-fetched in his opinion. He just came back from the palace examination and deliberately claimed that he was the top scholar in this subject.
Even if you have absolute confidence in yourself, you can't talk so wildly. If it hadn't been spread, no one knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
Thinking of this, Li Chengyou felt uneasy. Before the news came out, he congratulated him in advance, fearing that his disciple would be too happy and it would turn out to be a dream, which would have an indelible impact on him.
Therefore, Li Chengyou remained the same on the outside, but in his heart he was worried. He sighed softly, frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Yun'er, is what you said the truth?"
Seeing Li Chengyou's reaction, Ling Yun was puzzled, thinking that at this time, shouldn't he look up to the sky and laugh?
After all, he won the first prize, which was also one of Li Chengyou's wishes. Now that he has achieved it, why does the master, the old man, not look as happy as he imagined, but a little depressed? Could it be that he made a mistake?
Ling Yun solemnly said, "Master, it's absolutely true."
Mrs. Li also noticed Li Chengyou's abnormality and immediately said unhappily, "Master, look at what you are saying. Yun'er has always been steady. What he said must be 100% true. Why do you still think so much?
"
Li Chengyou rolled his eyes at her, curled his lips and said, "A woman's kindness."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Li was furious. She stood up from her seat in an instant, pointed at Li Chengyou and said angrily, "Li Chengyou, you...what do you mean?"
Seeing her rage, Li Chengyou wisely turned his head away from looking at her.
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Ling Yun saw it and was anxious in his heart. If this trend continued, he would be the one who would suffer in the end.
I have to say that Li Chengyou is a real dog, because Li Chengyou did not dare to offend Mrs. Li, but in the end he vented all his anger on him.
Ling Yun stood up, poured two cups of tea neatly, and said respectfully, "Master, Mistress, please have some tea."
When Li Chengyou looked at it, he thought that this brat's pain was not in vain, and he was quite capable of doing something good. Then his brows slowly relaxed, and Mrs. Li was no longer as angry as before. She sat back and sipped tea.
After taking two sips of tea, Li Chengyou continued to ask, "Yun'er, didn't you just take the imperial examination today?"
"Yes, master."
"Then do you know that the results of the palace examination are usually announced tomorrow?"
"Know."
At first glance, Mrs. Li, who was sitting next to her, realized something. She glanced at Li Chengyou tenderly, and then looked at Ling Yun with doubts in her eyes.
"Now that you know it, why did you brazenly declare that you won the top prize when you just came back?"
"Forehead…"
Ling Yun thought it was something that made Li Chengyou frown and feel unhappy. It turned out to be because of his performance in the imperial examination.
After trying to understand the reason for Li Chengyou's sulking, Ling Yun felt relieved and just thought of explaining it, but Li Chengyou was one step ahead of him and started educating him.
He had no choice but to wait for him to finish before explaining.
"Yun'er, it's good to be capable and confident, but at this critical moment, you must not be complacent, let alone brazenly conclude that you have won the top prize. Even if you are 100% confident, you must remain calm and wait for the final result to come out.
There’s no rush to celebrate.”
Li Chengyou took another sip of tea and then asked the answer sheet, "Otherwise, if the result changes and this matter is publicized, it will definitely affect your credibility."
When Li Chengyou finished speaking, Ling Yun was about to open his mouth to explain. At this moment, Mrs. Li stood up again and staged a drama of husband and wife singing in front of him.
"Yes! Your master, Yun'er, is right. As a human being, we need to be calm and composed. Don't be eager to share it with others just because you have some skills. People are unpredictable, and no one knows whether they will encounter a human with a beast's heart."
"Master Wife, I..."
Then Li Chengyou interrupted his explanation again, and said with seriousness and sincerity, "Yun'er, please be careful. Master, I also know that you are extremely talented, but you must not make any further announcements about the number one scholar. Everything has to wait for tomorrow's results."
Only when you come out will you know the final result."
"No, master..."
Ling Yun couldn't help but interrupt, but Li Chengyou suddenly stood up, patted his shoulder gently, with an expression that I knew for a while, and continued to enlighten, "Okay, my teacher knows that, you don't need to worry, no matter what
, Jinshi is already in my pocket, because I have never heard of the fact that Huiyuan failed in my court."
Seeing the emotional Ling Yun, Mrs. Li stood up and took his hand to comfort him.
Ling Yun was filled with helplessness, his voice suddenly raised to a higher level, and he said solemnly, "No, Master, Master, please listen to me first."
Li Chengyou and Li Chengyou were stunned and looked at him in astonishment, as if wondering why this kid was so stubborn and refused to listen to others' advice?
Now that they have spoken, what else can he explain?
These two people sang and harmonized, leaving him speechless. Every time he wanted to explain, he was interrupted by the two of them, which was really a headache.
He thought to himself that these two people had almost quarreled, but now they were standing in front of him, comforting him.
I have to say that things like temper are too metaphysical, especially between husband and wife.
Ling Yun sighed, fearing that they would misunderstand again, so Ling Yun said slowly, word by word, "Master, Master, things are not what you think, and Yun'er is not showing off. Yun'er is really the number one scholar, and it was done on the spot by Your Majesty.
The hand-picked number one scholar in modern science."
