[Note: Due to unknown changes, the rewards for this decision have been combined into one. With the favor of an unknown minister, you can become a disciple at will, and you can leave your humble status after one year, and it will not affect your future path. 】
Is this a reward... Lin Ke lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground, hiding the glint in his eyes.
The unknown Shangshu surnamed Qi!
The system turned the "unknown powerful man" into an "unknown minister"!
His guess was correct, this unknown strong man with the surname Qi in black clothes was indeed a minister!
As for the specific rewards, such as the "any apprenticeship" and so on, perhaps we will know about it later.
Lin Ke thought of this and let out a breath.
Now that it's here, let's make peace with it... He comforted himself in his heart.
While he was thinking, the middle-aged man in black clothes secretly glanced at Lin Ke with his big round eyes from time to time.
Seeing Lin Ke standing there with a calm expression, he couldn't help but smile provocatively at the middle-aged man in white across from him: "Hey, are my naughty boys incapable of getting into your eyes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ke saw his father's eyes suddenly light up, and then he opened his mouth and uttered a few words:
"The wind is as fast as the arrow, and it calls people like the wind blowing!"
After saying that, a breeze suddenly blew in the room, and in the blink of an eye, a person appeared in the breeze, changed from virtual to real, and finally condensed into a human form.
Appeared!
This is extraordinary power!
Lin Ke couldn't help but look at his father a few more times, and then at the black-clothed minister, feeling a little shocked inside.
This is probably how he was summoned by the Minister in Black!
Of course, as for the quality of the poems read by "Lin Ke"'s father, Lin Ke didn't know how to complain.
I don’t know who wrote it, but this limerick is so simple and straightforward.
While thinking about it, Lin Ke looked at the young man summoned by his father.
This young man looks to be about the same age as himself, but he is much fairer than himself, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a sharp and angular face.
Lin Ke looked carefully and felt that he looked familiar. Then he looked closely at the middle-aged man in black clothes and found that they were somewhat similar.
He should be the descendant of the unknown black-clothed minister!
The young man stood there in a daze for a moment and then came to his senses. The first thing he noticed was Lin Ke's gaze.
He glanced at Lin Ke, frowned slightly, and then looked at Qi Shangshu and Lin Ke's father who were sitting at the table.
The young man put his hands together, bowed to the middle-aged man in black and said, "My child has seen his father."
Then he turned around, saluted the middle-aged man in white and said, "Qi Ye has met Uncle Lin!"
The etiquette is meticulous and there is no violation of the rules, which shows his excellent level of etiquette.
"Qi Ye? Aren't you not at home? Damn, why did you get caught by the old man??" Qi Shangshu was quite surprised to see his son, as if he shouldn't be here.
Qi Ye replied to Qi Shangshu: "The manager asked the child to live abroad for a while, but he felt it was inappropriate. As the old saying goes, a gentleman should..."
Qi Shangshu waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't act like a rotten scholar there, hypocritical...that, it was your uncle Lin who summoned you this time, um, old man, you
Speak for yourself."
Lin Ke's father's expression remained unchanged, still extremely indifferent. He turned to look at Qi Ye beside him: "Qi Shangshu and I have summoned you because we want to trouble you."
Lin Ke's father's voice was old and slow.
Qi Ye replied: "Uncle Lin, it doesn't matter if you say it."
"Yeah." Lin Ke's father nodded and opened his mouth to speak: "That's how it goes..."
The two of them looked more like father and son, and they were meticulous in every word they spoke. However, they spoke like a leader, slow and long, and Lin Ke was speechless.
Qi Shangshu was also a little impatient and directly interrupted Lin Ke's father: "Okay, okay, speak slowly...I'll say...come, you come over."
The latter sentence was said to Lin Ke.
"Yes." Lin Ke quickly stepped over.
When he walked to Qi Ye and stood not far away, Qi Shangshu continued:
"Let me introduce to you, my seed, who is sixteen years old like you this year, and will also be your opponent in a year's time, Qi Ye. Well, this is Lin Ke, the old man's seed."
"I've met my brother, I'm Lin Ke." Lin Ke smiled and saluted.
However, Qi Yedi did not look at Lin Ke, but looked at the two ministers, as if they were subordinates waiting for instructions from their superiors.
This is a typical example of not taking Lin Ke seriously!
Lin Ke was not upset. After saluting, he returned to his standing position, still smiling.
Qi Shangshu and Lin Ke's father didn't say much when they saw this, as if they both knew why Qi Ye was so arrogant.
"I called you two here this time because I made a bet with the old man." Qi Shangshu chuckled:
"I will choose his son from the Lin family, and the old man will choose my son, and take them out to teach respectively. Finally, you two will come back here to compete three times within a year!
These three competitions will determine the winner in each game. Whoever wins between you two will win, me or the old man."
Qi Shangshu's words are concise and concise, which shows his vigorous and resolute character.
He smacked his lips, and then continued: "I chose Lin Ke first, and the old man chose Qi Ye, and then you will know what happened next. Do you two have anything else to ask?"
bet!
Gambling agreement!
The two ministers did not agree on what to do, so they decided to compete in the form of a bet.
After all, the fight between two ministers must be a fight outside the court, otherwise there would be no need for two children.
However, such a gambling agreement also has advantages.
Needless to say, the winner will get all the benefits.
Although the losing party lost, at least their son was trained by the opponent for a year, so it is not a loss.
I just don’t know what the stakes are anymore.
While Lin Ke was thinking, Qi Ye turned his attention to Lin Shangshu, expressionless: "No one can compete with me."
Then Qi Ye looked at Lin Ke, frowning slightly, paying special attention to Lin Ke's clothes that had been washed many times, and asked directly: "Where are you from?"
Qi Ye passed over the two ministers and spoke directly to Lin Ke, as if questioning him.
What's your origin?
Lin Ke's expression remained unchanged, his smile remained the same: "Prostitute."
Wherever his mother is from, so is he!
Hearing about the prostitution, Qi Ye frowned even more: "You think you can beat me."
It's not a question, it's a statement.
Lin Ke's smile remained unchanged and he was very polite: "Are you afraid that a prostitute will defeat you?"
It's not a statement, it's a question.
Qi Ye suddenly relaxed his brows and stopped talking.
Lin Ke was extremely speechless in his heart, but on the surface he looked calm and calm.
At this time, after Qi Shangshu finished watching their performance, he immediately said to Qi Ye: "Damn it, go back and prepare. Leave the Qi family as soon as possible tonight. I will be annoyed when I see you."
Qi Ye pursed his lips and looked at what his father wanted to say, but in the end he waved his sleeves vigorously and strode out of the house.
"Huh, if I had known better, I wouldn't have let those rotten Confucians teach you..." Qi Shangshu looked at Qi Ye walking out, his expression not very good.
During this process, Lin Ke's father said nothing, his eyes remained unwavering, and he sat there like a rotten tree.
There was no response when Qi Ye asked where Lin Ke was from, and there was no response when Lin Ke saluted and Qi Ye ignored him.
The main thing is that there is no response.
Unlike Qi Shangshu, who always curses.
The cursing Qi Shangshu finally turned his attention to Lin Ke again: "By the way, do you have any conditions? Just ask!"
finally come!
Lin Ke took a deep breath, first saluted, and then looked at Qi Shangshu with firm eyes: "Junior has three conditions. If you agree, you should do your best."
This is what he just came up with.
Although there are three conditions, he thinks it should not be difficult for someone of Shangshu's level.
Qi Shangshu looked at Lin Ke's gentle look, grinned and said:
"Don't say three. I'm happy to meet you today. I can agree to three hundred! But the premise is that you don't let me directly help you become a saint, haha!"
The more he saw Lin Ke's gentle and neither humble nor arrogant look, the more he liked him. The depression of being contradicted by his son just now was swept away: "Come on, tell me, what are the conditions?"
Lin Ke immediately said: "My first condition is that if I can win, I will take off my prostitution license."
Although he was talking to Qi Shangshu, he was also paying attention to his biological father in this body from the corner of his eye.
However, Lin Ke's father's expression did not change at all, as if Lin Ke was not his son, but a stranger.
So he continued: "Because... I will be seventeen next year, and I have not taken the imperial examination yet."
Seventeen!
There is an age limit for the imperial examination for children. The age of seventeen is the last chance for all candidates for the imperial examination.
Lin Ke is just sixteen today and will be seventeen next year!
If he cannot cancel his humble status, he will be cut off from the imperial examination!
Therefore, Lin Ke's first condition is to cancel his humble status!
