But that girl is different. The environment he lives in is relatively closed. His heart seems to be focused on studying, and nothing else can distract him. So in this old gentleman's opinion, if that
If a girl can take part in the imperial examination, her achievements will be
He will definitely be taller than the young man in front of him. After all, the young man in front of him is just a white man. Of course, everyone is optimistic about him taking part in the next scholar examination. Almost everyone who knows him or not is saying
So, this young man is definitely the best candidate to be admitted as a scholar.
Being able to achieve this level at his age is already quite an achievement in itself, but in the old man's heart, if it were the girl in his memory, he would probably be more beautiful than the person in front of him.
Because he is so powerful, he may have achieved the title of scholar now, so he is indeed the youngest junior in the provincial capital in the past hundred years.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, but he didn't say any more information or words. But Li Xiucai next to him was very anxious. He had finally laid the groundwork for so much, and then he attracted the attention of this old gentleman.
He revealed some information about his former female disciple without any suspicion, but how should he continue to ask without arousing suspicion or misunderstandings from the old gentleman?
As soon as his mind came to his mind, Li Xiucai deliberately showed an unconvinced look, and snorted coldly through his nostrils before saying, "Old sir, I know that this kid's behavior is a bit shameless, but he's just like this
After many years of observation in the provincial capital, I haven’t seen it anyway
However, there is no one who can be better than me. Mr. you said that a girl can be smarter than me. This is simply hard to believe. Could it be that the girl you are talking about is someone else?
A place or a woman from a certain aristocratic family?
Seeing the unyielding look of the young man in front of him, the old gentleman didn't feel offended. After all, young people should have such an unyielding temperament to achieve superhuman achievements in their studies.
, the child in front of him has obviously not suffered too many setbacks since he was a child. In fact, such a thing is not a good thing for him. In line with the mentality of making money, the old gentleman originally wanted to downplay or ignore this topic,
Now I have changed my mind.
Through this period of contact, the old gentleman also had a desire to make money for the Li Xiucai in front of him. When he saw such a talented and beautiful young man, he was too proud in his heart. If it was because of this pride that he could
Promoting him to be aggressive, of course, is good, but being too proud may affect his academic problems, so it is better to use his former female disciple to rub the arrogance of the boy in front of him. After all, the child in front of him, alas, contact
It also made him agree with it very much.
And the most important point is that no matter what, Li Xiucai's character was recognized by this old gentleman. He knew that the conversation between the two would not spread and reach the ears of a third person. So he
Now I don’t have too many worries when I mention the former female disciple, as long as I mention it later
Please remind the young man in front of you a few words again. I guess this matter will not reach the ears of another person. The old gentleman's idea is indeed good. He doesn't even need to remind you. It's just a few words, and he won't.
He never mentioned this matter to anyone, but he kept it firmly in his mind.
In other words, the old gentleman never thought that Li Xiucai actually came to him to get acquainted with him on purpose, and that the two of them got along so well was deliberately created. He was angry that Li Xiucai had ulterior motives or good intentions, just to be able to get along with him.
He extracted the information in front of him from his own mouth, and the old gentleman thought that he had done a good thing, and was very proud of the fact that it was of great help to the young man in front of him.
In any case, the old gentleman did seriously talk about his former female disciple. Your qualifications are indeed good, and you have worked hard, so everyone is more optimistic about you, but they cannot remember you because of this.
You must know that the imperial examination is full of difficulties and the unpredictable world. If you are so proud, it will not do you any good. You must know that the girl I just mentioned
, indeed not to mention qualifications
You, and more importantly, her level of hard work far exceeds yours. Although I haven't seen him for two or three years, I can roughly guess that if this girl can
If they keep studying, they will never reach a level lower than yours, and the most important thing is that this girl is indeed from this province. And although her family is well off, she is not one of those girls from aristocratic families.
, it’s just a merchant’s home.
Li Xiucai was actually in a daze when he first heard the old gentleman preaching to him. They thought they were using this provocation method and the old gentleman should tell him directly that there was more information about the girl, but instead
Unexpectedly, it would lead to such a clichéd sermon. Although Li Xiucai had never shown a particularly arrogant appearance, he was not gregarious a long time ago.
, only many people already thought that this was a sign of pride for him, so he actually heard such words many times, and every time he felt that he was wronged, and he would retort a few words at first, but after being scolded
After more time, he learned to behave submissively and submissively every time at this time. Those people could waste less saliva and save him some time to study.
And in recent years, as my academic progress has far surpassed that of my peers, the opportunities to hear such words have become increasingly rare, and those people have also transformed from shrinking to another kind of recognition or pursuit.
Hearing such familiar words again, Li Xiucai didn't know for a moment whether it was him. He was disappointed that he didn't get the information he wanted, or whether he should miss the argument that had once made him extremely familiar. He felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.
But fortunately, the second half of the old gentleman's information was still the last sentence, and it was still what Li Xiucai wanted to know. Being able to hear such a sentence already made Li Xiucai feel that he had been misunderstood, or
No matter how childish you behave, it's all worth it.
