Hearing these words, Shen Yichen's lips revealed a wry smile. Did Liu Wan'er place her hopes on herself?

If she knew that she was not that talented, and perhaps could not achieve anything great in the world, would she feel extremely disappointed?

"I don't want to hurt you, but I probably won't be able to clear your father's name."

Shen Yichen did not want to deceive Liu Wan'er and give her any false hope. The whole world knew that Liu Qiu was unjustly killed, but as long as Wang Zhen survived, no one could help him rehabilitate.

Even if one day he really becomes the number one scholar in the world, he is just a sixth-rank official in the Imperial Academy, and he is still far away from the cabinet, the center of power in the Ming Dynasty.

Even if you rise through the ranks, getting promoted is like riding a rocket. If you don't have an official career for ten or eight years, you can never reach the point where you can compete with Wang Zhen.

Of course, if the direction of history does not change and the Tumu Fortress Revolution in the 14th year of Orthodoxy still happens as scheduled, then Ming Dynasty Zong Zhu Qiyu will avenge Liu Qiu's grievances, and he will have nothing to do.

Therefore, no reward will be received for no merit, and Shen Yichen does not want to take credit in advance and pretend to be a good person.

"I know."

Liu Waner also had a bitter smile on her face, and then continued: "But the slave family always remembers the young master's words that justice will never be absent, and one day my father will be redressed."

"Yes, this day will come eventually."

This sentence is not to comfort Liu Waner, but the direction of history is correct, then Liu Qiu will indeed be given justice one day.

"Master Shen, you are a good person."

"Yeah?"

Shen Yichen was a little uncomfortable with being suddenly given a good guy card.

"Well, you saved me when we didn't know each other at first."

"Today I wanted to take advantage of you, so I submitted your lyrics privately, but you didn't get angry and were willing to help me."

"Ever since my family was destroyed, my master is the first person to be so kind to me."

Faced with such words, Shen Yichen didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful.

In the past, when I watched TV and novels, I could turn my hands to make clouds and rain after time travel, but the reality is that I am weak and unable to do anything I want to do.

"I have made a note that if one day I really become the leader of the world, I will uphold justice and restore your father's innocence."

Whether it was to give Liu Waner hope or to set a goal for herself, Shen Yichen felt that she had to do something after all, otherwise she would be ashamed of her time-travel status.

"Young Master is so kind to me, I will never forget you!"

After Liu Waner finished speaking, she was ready to kneel down and give a grand ceremony to Shen Yichen.

Seeing this posture, Shen Yichen quickly stretched out his hand to support her. He didn't like asking others to kneel down before anything was done.

"No need to give a big gift. If one day I really do it, you can thank me again."

"Well, young master..."

Liu Waner's face turned red at this moment, and her tone became hesitant.

This change made Shen Yichen feel baffled. Before, he was rushing to give a big gift, but now he suddenly started to act awkward. Even women are not so quick to change.

But Shen Yichen soon realized what he was doing, and he kept holding on to Liu Wan'er's arm. In ancient times, it was important for a man and a woman not to kiss each other, so even if they wanted to prevent a big ceremony, most of the time they would just do it in vain.

Even if there was physical contact, he quickly let go, how could he hold on to it like Shen Yichen did.

In addition, although Liu Waner has been reduced to a brothel girl, she is still a lady from an official family, and Qiu Yuefang also took a fancy to her identity and background, and made her a Qinghuan, just to sell her at a good price in the future.

Therefore, Liu Waner has a lot of knowledge about men and women, but not physical contact. This time she is really ashamed.

"Sorry, I was rude."

After Shen Yichen understood, he quickly let go and apologized repeatedly.

After experiencing what happened with Chen Qingtong, Shen Yichen now has a profound understanding of the importance of women's honors in ancient times.

"It's okay, Mr. Shen. It's already late at night, and I can't stay outside for a long time, so I have to say goodbye."

After Liu Waner bowed to say goodbye, she turned around and left before Shen Yichen could reply.

On the one hand, she was a little embarrassed and shy when facing Shen Yichen. On the other hand, Qiu Yuefang had relaxed her supervision a little during this period, but she was not yet able to walk freely.

Watching Liu Waner go away, Shen Yichen also stepped off the boat and walked towards his small courtyard.

Back in the courtyard, it was now close to midnight, and according to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people had already gone to bed.

However, there was still a weak candle burning in her yard. After her mother Shen heard the sound of the courtyard door, she immediately walked out with a candlestick. When she saw that it was Shen Yichen who had come back, she felt relieved and said: "Chen'er, come back. ”

"Well, mother, I'm back."

"How was your participation in today's poetry meeting?"

When Shen Yichen went out, she told her mother that she was going to attend a poetry club. However, for a poetry club, a gathering of scholars, Shen only knew a few characters and didn't know what to do, let alone the value of winning the first prize.

"fine."

"That's good. It's getting late. Chen'er, you should wash up and rest early."

"Mom, please go back to the house and sleep."

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen nodded, turned around and walked towards her room, murmuring: "Chen'er is now promising and can participate in poetry gatherings like other scholars."

It can also be felt from this sentence that although Shen did not understand the specifics of the poetry meeting, she was actually quite proud of Shen Yichen for participating.

One night passed, Shen Yichen went to school as usual. The atmosphere in the school today was strange. When Shen Yichen came in, many people stared at him without even daring to express their anger.

Is it that exaggerated?

When Shen Yichen saw the scene in the school, it was as if Duke Cheng had come in person that day. When did he feel such oppression?

Returning to his seat with this doubt, his deskmate Zhao Hongjie also stared at Shen Yichen but remained silent.

"Don't act like a fool here. If you have anything to ask, just say it."

Shen Yichen is very aware of Zhao Hongjie's talkative character. This kind of behavior must have many questions in his heart, and it is quite unnatural for both of them to hold it back.

"Yichen, will we still be friends in the future?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Wow...that's great."

Zhao Hongjie cried "Wow" and then hugged Shen Yichen. His emotional change was like a Sichuan opera face change.

"Hurry up and let go, otherwise others will think I have a habit of cutting off my sleeves."

Regarding this kind of hugging behavior, Shen Yichen pushed Zhao Hongjie aside with a look of disgust. He had never even hugged a girl, so what's the point of being affectionate with a guy like you?

"Yi Chen, I really didn't expect that not only did you participate in the Winter Solstice Poetry Competition, but you also surpassed all the scholars in the world in terms of skills, and even became the disciple of Duke Zhuangyuan!"

"Now you can be called a literary giant of the world!"

Shen Yichen probably guessed that today's strange behavior in the school might be related to last night's Winter Solstice poem. After all, he had experienced a family dinner before and had personal experience of the speed at which gossip spread in the Ming Dynasty.

But this kid Zhao Hongjie is a little too exaggerated. The literary giants of the world have come out and exaggerated too much.

"Come on, don't be too exaggerated."

"It's not an exaggeration, the outside world really calls it that."

"If there's anything else, just shut up and read."

Shen Yichen replied angrily, he really didn't care much about these false reputations.

"Yes, can you help introduce me to Duke Zhuangyuan? I have admired him for a long time and want to become my teacher!"

"Okay, if you can memorize all the Four Books and Five Classics word for word, I will take you to see your husband."

"It seems that I'm being rude!"

Zhao Hongjie was very self-aware. When he heard that he had to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, he immediately gave up.

While the two were chatting, Li Da also walked in from the door. When he saw him, Zhao Hongjie was like a mouse seeing a cat, lowering his head and not daring to look at each other. After all, he was used to being bullied before.

In the past, when Li Da passed by Shen Yichen and Zhao Hongjie, he would pretend to be cold and snort, or even deliberately provoke him with words. Anyway, he had to make some noise.

But this time, Li Da returned to his seat in an unusually low-key manner, without even looking provocatively.

Facing this scene, Zhao Hongjie was a little confused. Shen Yichen had just reborn as a different person. Why had even Li Da changed his temperament now?

What surprised Zhao Hongjie even more was what was happening behind him. When he saw Li Da coming, Shen Yichen was the first to speak: "Brother Xian, were you educated by your father last night?"

"What are you talking about? I haven't taken the county exam now."

Li Da replied unhappily, Shen Yichen didn't pick up the pot, how could such embarrassing things be said in public?

Good brother?

Hearing this call, Zhao Hongjie's eyes widened. When did Li Da become Shen Yichen's good brother?

Even if it was a nonsense, Li Da didn't get angry and refute the question after hearing it. It was equivalent to acquiescence. Is the sun going to rise in the west from today on?

Not to mention Zhao Hongjie, other students in the school were also shocked when they heard this.

These two people are incompatible. If it weren't for their status, they would have fought many times. But now they are still calling each other brothers. The world has changed so quickly.

"Brother, you have to work hard."

"Stop calling me random names, who is your good brother?"

Li Da also realized at this time, how could his reputation as the boss of the school be ruined in one day.

"Have you forgotten that everyone talks about their own affairs?"

Shen Yichen smiled maliciously. Anyway, in Chengguo Public School, he used to be on the weaker side.

In addition, he is younger than Li Da, so theoretically speaking, everyone can take advantage of it.

"I……"

Li Da also remembered what he said last night, so he swallowed it back as soon as he said it.

Although Li Da is not good at reading and is a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs, he is quite trustworthy and loyal, and he will not break his word if he says it.

And he also knew in his heart that he couldn't beat Shen Yichen in terms of talking skills. Talking too much in front of so many people would lead to mistakes, so he just gritted his teeth and held back, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
