Chapter 87 An inexplicable and alluring charm
After drinking the tea, Xiao Li left, followed by Zi Yue.
"Sister Beauty, do you want to go home? Do you want to stroll around for a while? Can I follow you?"
His eyes were filled with pure and frank love, and his voice still had the childishness of a boy. Even his casual thoughts would not make people feel annoying.
Xiao Li was not in a hurry to go back, so he said: "Just take a stroll, how about you show me the way?"
Zi Yue immediately beamed: "Okay."
He is obviously very familiar with this area, and he can easily walk around the streets and alleys. He knows which restaurant has the best noodles, which wine is the most fragrant, and which bun has the most meat.
Xiao Li knew that he was a money-lover, so he took the money bag and prepared to treat him to something to eat. Unexpectedly, he refused and even offered to pay for Xiao Li.
"My sister gave me a lot of rewards. I can also treat my sister once today."
Xiao Li couldn't help but tease him: "Don't you want to save money to marry a wife?"
"Hehe." He scratched his hair with a naive smile, and said with a shy smile: "I'm still young, I have plenty of time to save money, and also... I lied to you before, my young master was very good to me, he gave me a lot He just didn’t let me spend the money carelessly. He also asked me to study, saying that I would have a lot of money to spend when I became successful.”
Xiao Li chuckled: "He is so kind to you."
This is not a servant. Is this a child?
Ziyue also understood in his heart: "The young master is the best master in the world."
This speech is really that of a child.
The two chatted all the way, and unconsciously arrived at the Manxi Building as they walked. They happened to see a carriage parked at the door. Shopkeeper Jiang came out first, then turned around to help Song Junzhan inside.
"Young Master" Zi Yue's eyes lit up and he quickly ran over.
The two of them looked over and saw Zi Yue and Xiao Li walking slowly over.
"Ahem."
The young master coughed a few more times, and then greeted Xiao Li: "Miss Xiao."
"Young Master."
Xiao Li said hello and approached. From this angle, he could just see the tail of his eyes which were red due to violent coughing. His clear eyes were filled with water vapor. This look of the man who was banished to immortals was inexplicably a bit alluring.
Shopkeeper Jiang invited: "Girl is here, why not go in and have a cup of tea together."
Xiao Li quickly shook off the strange feeling of being hooked and nodded: "Then I'll excuse you."
The teahouse was closed today, and there were only four of them in the teahouse that didn't have many customers.
Shopkeeper Jiang took Zi Yue to prepare tea, while only Xiao Li and the young master went upstairs together.
"Ahem."
The suppressed cough made people feel uncomfortable. Xiao Li was not a talkative person, but he still couldn't help but ask: "What is the disease of your cough? You don't look like a person who is short of money. You haven't found a good doctor." Do you want to see it?
Song Junzhan covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and finally suppressed his cough before replying: "I fell into the water for a long time before, and although I saved my life after being rescued, my lungs were injured. I saw a doctor, but they all said that we should keep him warm, and there is no other way." Other methods.”
Xiao Li: "Didn't some miracle doctor come here before? He could save dying people who couldn't be saved in the hospital. Why didn't you try to find him?"
Hearing this, Song Junzhan glanced at her: "Ahem, I thought about it, but I haven't had time yet."
After being quiet for a while, he said: "The girl looks a lot thinner."
Rumors spread that Princess Xuanyang had been in a coma for a month, and it seemed that she had only woken up a few days ago.
Xiao Li also knew that he had lost weight, but it didn't matter. It wasn't a disease anyway: "I didn't have an appetite some time ago, but now I'm fine. Just keep it up."
Song Junzhan understood in his heart and said no more.
Ziyue brought tea, and Song Junzhan was not afraid of the heat. He drank several sips before suppressing his cough.
The more Zi saw that he was working hard, he patted him on the back thoughtfully and said angrily: "The young master must be angry with someone today."
Xiao Li looked at Song Junzhan and couldn't imagine what it would be like for a Xian'er like him to be angry.
Xiao Li didn't ask, but Song Junzhan said unexpectedly: "I went to see a few uncles today and asked them to help me, but they were rejected, so we had a few quarrels." Zi Yue was angry: "There are no people from those aristocratic families. Good people.”
Xiao Li raised his eyebrows: "You want to be an official?"
Song Junzhan nodded and shook his head: "I want to be an official, but not just for the sake of being an official. Do you remember what I said about the imperial examination?"
"Now His Majesty is forcefully clearing out the Lu family, and the aristocratic family is undergoing changes. This is the best time. As long as there are people to recommend, the door to the imperial examination will be reopened."
Xiao Li was silent.
Song Junzhan looked thin, but his eyes were firm. He was very persistent in wanting to accomplish this.
"Perhaps, this may not be a good time. Your Majesty may not have the courage and wisdom you want today."
No one knows Jamel Xiao’s virtues better than her.
He had promised to take down the Lu family, but he almost backed down when things happened. He finally brought down the Lu family, haha, he was so pretentious that he let him go.
She killed Lu Cang, she killed Lu Yanzhi, and she also killed the generals of the Lu family.
If she hadn't taken action, the Lu family would have been completely unscathed. Let alone the Lu family being exiled, the emperor might have been replaced by someone else now.
With such a fool, you expect him to revive the imperial examination?
He doesn't have the foresight, the wisdom, the decisive courage and perseverance, so this thing will never happen.
Song Junzhan paused, as if he hadn't expected it, and he didn't seem that surprised.
"Many people in my father's generation lost their lives because of this. I just did what my predecessors had not accomplished. Even if there is little hope, I still have to give it a try, for my father's generation, for the poor students in the world, and for myself."
Xiao Li: "Aren't you afraid of following in the footsteps of your ancestors?"
Song Junzhan: "Everyone is destined to die. If you die for this, there will be no regrets."
Xiao Li held the teacup and didn't speak for a while.
In Xiao Li's world, the imperial examination has lasted for thousands of years. Although the rules have been changed, the core has not changed. It has always been an indispensable bridge for cultural inheritance and talent selection.
She knew that the imperial examination was good, but she had no sense of belonging in the world and had no idea of changing the world.
Song Junzhan is from this world. He may not know that this matter will change the world, but he judges that this is something that must be done, and he is determined to risk everything.
Xiao Li suddenly felt that the thin man in front of him was very tall.
This is righteousness and true wisdom.
It is precisely because of the righteous actions of countless people in history that history has been changed and the world has become better and better.
Cultural inheritance and a strong country need such people the most.
"The Young Master seems to have a fairy spirit, but he is actually very cunning."
The aristocratic family boycotted the imperial examination. As an emperor, he led a group of people to reform and was eventually forced to cut off his arms. He died within a few years. There was definitely a conspiracy in this.
Even the emperor kept secret things, but he told her everything about a woman he had only met a few times, and her appearance and clothes must have come from a noble family.
Isn't he afraid that if she goes back and reveals it, it will bring disaster to him?
Is it because I trust her too much, or is it because her surname is Xiao? Or has he guessed her identity and regarded her as hope?
"I appreciate the integrity of the Young Master family, but unfortunately, I am not someone like you."
"I don't like fame and fortune. Whatever I do depends on my preference. If there is no bargaining chip for my heart, I won't meddle in others' affairs.
Song Junzhan asked with a smile: "Then what is the bargaining chip that Miss Xiao likes?"
Xiao Li shook his head and smiled: "Who knows?"
She wants nothing now except leaving this obsession.
