Tao Ying looked at Young Master Liu who was staring at her with a smile on her face, her cheeks were slightly red and she was speechless.
Of course she knew in her heart that what Young Master Liu just said was definitely not Taoism, but something like that, but she didn't know how to defend herself.
When it comes to talking skills, even if my words are worn out, I will definitely not be a match for this man!
"I won't tell you these nonsense. Please tell me, since you and Lin Hanzhi have never met, how did you figure out Lin Hanzhi's identity?"
Young Master Liu spread his hands and shrugged lightly: "I just said it, I figured it out."
"Fart, if you can figure out something just by asking a question, you must have other methods."
"You really want to know?"
"Nonsense, otherwise why would I ask you?"
Mr. Liu turned sideways and turned his face towards the pretty girl: "Kiss me, and I will tell you how I calculated it."
"You are shameless!
How can you be so shameless in public?"
"My dear sister, what you said is wrong. We are the only two wild mandarin ducks in this small shack. How can we say that we are in public?"
"Then I won't kiss your stinky face either, don't even think about it."
Young Master Liu clicked his tongue twice: "Forget it if we don't kiss, I will continue writing a book."
"You! You bully others."
"Good sister, haven't my little brothers bullied you a few times? I won't go into detail, let's just talk about last night. Good sister, you were bullied by your little brother...well..."
Tao Ying raised her hand to cover Young Master Liu's mouth, and stared at Young Master Liu shyly and anxiously: "Can you stop being such a vagabond?
If you do this again, I will go home."
Young Master Liu reached out and grabbed Tao Ying's wrist, silently pulling it down.
"I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, why don't I tell you?
Come, let’s sit down and talk.”
Tao Ying broke free from Young Master Liu's hand, picked up the small bench on the side and sat in front of the Gua stall. She looked at Young Master Liu curiously with her almond-shaped eyes.
"Tell me what's going on?"
Liu Mingzhi put down the pen in his hand and stretched out his right hand in front of Tao Ying. Tao Ying subconsciously dodged back, and then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mr. Liu honestly letting him look at his palm.
.
"What's in the knuckles of my fingers?"
"Coususes!"
"Why are there thick calluses in this location?"
Tao Ying was silent for a while, then looked at Young Master Liu with a sudden realization: "It's caused by holding a pen all the time."
"Yes, the young man has calluses on the joints of his right hand similar to mine due to years of holding pens. I conclude that he is a scholar."
"There are so many scholars in the world, so how do you know that he is the first person to be educated, and he is still short of food and clothing, and his life is in straitened circumstances?"
"Of course I asked!"
"Asked? Did he say anything to reveal his identity?
Why didn’t I hear it?”
"Of course I did. You forgot, my little brother asked him where is his fairyland? What's your surname?"
He said he was from Kunzhou and his surname was Lin.
You should know that the list of high school candidates in various state capitals will be submitted to the court for approval every year.
My little brother, as the king of a country, how can I not pay attention to the talents of the imperial court who will assist the country and the country in the future?
In the list of high school candidates in Kunzhou, there is only one candidate named Lin, and that is the top candidate, Xie Yuan Lin Hanzhi.
Although I can't remember the specific names on the subsequent candidates' lists, I can still get some impressions of them if they only have surnames.
The imperial court will open a subject in the spring next year to recruit scholars.
He is seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in coarse linen, and his accent is not from Beijing. In all likelihood, he is a student from various prefectures who came to Beijing to take the exam!
I can't remember many ordinary students taking the exam, but I still have a general impression of the top three high school students in each state.
After all, these will be the first choices for officials in the Sixth Department in the future, and I will definitely check them carefully.
I have checked Lin Hanzhi's Jinxiu article, he is a talented person, and I have a good impression.
A student taking the exam, Kunzhou, surnamed Lin.
Who else is Jie Yuan if he is not the number one person in Kunzhou?"
Tao Yingyu lightly covered her red lips with her fingers and stared at Young Master Liu's confident look in stunned silence: "You are really a weirdo!"
Weird is now a word of praise. Young Master Liu smiled and waved his hand.
"My good sister is so complimentary.
As for why he can see that his life is difficult, it is even simpler.
Red eyes and dark eye sockets are obviously due to lack of sleep and staying up late.
The cheeks are pale and bloodless, which is naturally caused by malnutrition, hunger and cold.
The imperial court's new decree has just been mentioned by my younger brother. Fifty taels of silver, even if it does not allow Lin Hanzhi to live in fine clothing and food, is enough to last him until the autumn meeting.
However, it is naturally strange that he has fallen into such a situation.
At first, the younger brother thought it was a corruption case involving local state officials, so he asked more carefully. Unexpectedly, he accidentally lost the money he relied on for survival.
Although the word "question" is just one word, a lot can be seen from his words and deeds.
Good sister, do you understand now?"
The pretty lady looked at Mr. Liu's half-smiling look and nodded blankly.
"I understand, this is called observing the subtleties and knowing everything clearly, right?"
Seeing Tao Ying's dumbfounded expression, Mr. Liu grabbed the eight copper coins on the side, quickly kissed Qiao Jia's red lips, and then patted the copper coins into Qiao Jia's palm.
"My wife, housekeeper, put it away.
This is the money I will spend to buy you a hairpin on your birthday, I will not be responsible for losing it!"
Tao Ying instinctively covered her lips that had been secretly kissed, and looked at Young Master Liu who was writing at his desk again, looking down at the eight copper coins in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little crazy.
I, who had always had no worries about food and clothing, felt my heart tremble because of these mere eight copper coins.
During the days when I stayed with this man, although he always took advantage of me, this kind of joy and shy sweet feeling in my heart was something that my husband Li Yunlong, who had been in business for many years, had never given me.
After being silent for a long time, Tao Ying tightly held the eight copper coins in her hand and silently put them into a purse embroidered with peonies on her waist.
"I...I am your third sister-in-law. Even if you are my sister-in-law Yan'er's husband, I am still your third sister-in-law in name only.
Is this really okay for us?
became known to the world.
What will happen to you? What will happen to me?"
Liu Mingzhi stopped writing and looked at the contents on the paper silently.
"Now that the new dynasty has been established, the previous dynasty has long become a thing of the past.
Although the big dragon is still a big dragon, this big dragon is not that big dragon.
The previous dynasty has become a thing of the past, how much more can it be said that the previous dynasty was a vassal king?
The former King of Shu, Li Yunlong, had already committed suicide because of his rebellion, and his entire family was missing.
This is the result that everyone in the world knows.
The woman named Tao Ying in Shu was just one of the many living beings. Only eight or nine of the Li family members in the clan knew about her.
Not to mention everyone in the world.
Tao Ying, one of the ordinary people, now lives in Xing'anfang, an outer city of the capital. She is a widower and a lonely person!
She is also one of Liu Mingzhi’s confidante.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.”
"But I know, I know my identity, and I know your identity even more..."
"The people of the world care about the people of the world, but not the royal affairs.
Not to mention I, Liu Mingzhi, have nothing to do with me.
Tao Ying, my aunt Liu Ying once said something to me.
It is not easy to meet each other in life, but it is even harder to get to know each other.
When I first heard about it, I was a little disapproving, but now I am convinced.
It's not easy to meet, it's even harder to get to know each other.
Cherish the moment!"
Under Tao Ying's dull gaze, Liu Mingzhi grabbed Tao Ying's hands and put them toward his ears before continuing to write.
"Housekeeper, whether you can earn enough money for your hairpin depends on whether you work hard or not!"
Tao Ying was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She lowered her head and looked at Mr. Liu for a while, bit her red lips, and continued to yell sweetly at the passers-by outside the shed.
Under Tao Ying's instructions, Liu Dashao welcomed seven more guests one after another. After a round of deception, each of them earned ten copper coins for tea, and continued to write and write classics that have been handed down for generations.
The sun was setting in the west, and Young Master Liu was drinking tea with pain all over his body. From time to time, he lowered his head and glanced at the pretty Tao Ying, whose cheeks were as red as fire, and she was writing something at her desk.
"Good sister, have you finished writing this sentence?"
The pretty girl's voice was as imperceptible as the trembling of a mosquito or fly, and she nodded.
"Um!"
"Okay, next sentence, when Ximen Senior Official saw Sister Pan's peach blossom face, ripples appeared..."
