Chapter 771 Yan Song
"Now all the candidates in the capital are here. It is normal to see His Majesty the Sixth Prince here." Xie Jingchi said quietly.
Lou Yulan held her stomach with one hand and felt more and more exhausted.
The doctor said that she was pregnant with twins, so not only would she be more tired and have a bigger belly, but the babies would also be born much earlier.
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince is really capable. But Concubine Lou is pregnant now. Why did you bring her out? You don't seem to care about her difficulties." Shen Shuyi instigated calmly.
"I wanted to accompany His Highness. His Highness was concerned about the pre-exam, and I was bored at home, so I came out to take a look." Lou Yulan immediately comforted Xiao Tingshan.
Shen Shuyi smiled, obviously not intending to ask Xiao Tingshan to sit down.
Xiao Tingshan's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi, and he couldn't help but think of his dream.
That's right, he always felt that Shen Shuyi belonged to him.
But why...he has become a prince, but she still doesn't belong to him?
"Sixth Prince, what you said is very true. I have benefited a lot from listening to your words!"
Just then, a scholar in shabby clothes came running down from upstairs.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and looked at him, his gaze darkened a little - Yan Song.
That’s right, this person was also a capable person she recruited for Xiao Tingshan in her previous life. In her previous life, Yan Song was recruited by her three years later, and three years later, he won the first place in the autumn examination that year and became the top scholar of the dynasty.
But now, Yan Song is younger than he remembered, and obviously much more inexperienced.
Seeing Yan Song's admiration for Xiao Tingshan, Shen Shuyi's heart sank.
In the previous life, it was clearly him who recruited and subdued Yan Song, but in this life, how come Xiao Tingshan got there first?
Was it Xiao Tingshan’s dream that allowed him to foresee the future, or was it because of his appearance that many things became different?
But she knew better than anyone that Yan Song was a useful talent, and it was not a good thing for him to work for Xiao Tingshan now.
But I was already one step too late.
Seeing that Shen Shuyi's mind was on Yan Song, Xiao Tingshan said, "This is Yan Song, the candidate that I accidentally saved..."
He has been looking for someone useful these days.
Fortunately, I met Yan Song.
Yan Song's family was poor and it was not easy for him to come to Beijing, and he was ridiculed and targeted by children from wealthy families.
Fortunately, he rescued the man and provided him with financial support, which not only made Yan Song grateful, but also helped him find the right opportunity to win him over with words and conversation, so that he could use Yan Song's power to his advantage.
Shen Shuyi didn't listen to Xiao Tingshan's nonsense, and just asked: "Why didn't Lord Yan take the preliminary exam?"
Yan Song said, "My talent is still limited, so the time has not come yet. I should resist temptation and prepare carefully."
Shen Shuyi sneered.
Whose bullshit theory is this? Why does it sound so much like what Xiao Tingshan said?
But that was just to coax him, to keep him by her side.
What people like Yan Song lack most is the opportunity to practice. Due to his poor family background, it is difficult for him to practice like the kids from rich families.
Therefore, this year's pre-examination is a rare opportunity for practice.
But unfortunately, he was a young man with little experience in the world, and he believed Xiao Tingshan's lies and was ready to continue reviewing.
Shen Shuyi looked at him and said bluntly: "There is an old saying, Lord Yan, I wonder if you have heard of it."
Yan Song cupped his hands and said, "Please teach me, my lord."
"Knowledge gained from books is always shallow. One must practice it personally to truly understand it." Shen Shuyi said in a cold voice, thinking that he must create a disagreement between Yan Song and Xiao Tingshan.
Yan Song repeated Shen Shuyi's words in a low voice, obviously having heard them.
Xiao Tingshan's eyes were deep, he turned to look at Yan Song, and said slowly: "Yan Song, the time for this pre-exam has not yet arrived. If you want to participate, it's not too late to go now."
Yan Song didn't say anything, and Shen Shuyi continued, "This pre-examination is a rare opportunity. Lord Yan doesn't want to try his true ability, but listens to other people's assertions and denies what he has learned for many years?"
Meeting the girl's clear eyes, Yan Song was speechless for a moment.
He was indeed planning to attend at first, otherwise he would not have rushed to the capital.
However, he had offended several young men from wealthy families and was short of money. Fortunately, he met the Sixth Prince who came to his rescue, but he also realized that he was not talented enough.
The Sixth Prince persuaded him to stay in the capital and learn from him for three years. After learning from the great scholars in the capital, he would make up for his own shortcomings and after three years, he would make a name for himself.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but I still have many shortcomings..."
Yan Song opened his mouth again and wanted to say something else, but he saw the gentle man beside Shen Shuyi slowly speak.
"Brother Yan Song, besides the money, did you suffer any other losses this time?" Shen Shuhan spoke slowly, looking directly at Yan Song.
Yan Song was speechless for a moment.
Disadvantages?
Apart from silver, there is naturally nothing else...
However, he was bewitched by the Sixth Prince and wanted to make a big splash next year.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Shen Shuhan said slowly: "Everyone in the world wants to become famous in one battle, but most people are just ordinary people. Master Yan may be sure that he will win the first place in three years?"
"Even if I can't, my ranking will be better..." Yan Song retorted.
Shen Shuhan smiled slightly, his expression gentle: "The so-called good looks are false, but if you can do something for the people three years earlier, no matter how big or small, it will be real."
Shen Shuhan's words shocked Yan Song's heart.
That’s right, all talented people are often arrogant, but his words hit the nail on the head and hit the desire in his heart.
He really wanted to become famous in one battle and bring honor to his family.
But in one's life, there are many ways to become a high-ranking official. Even if one can become the top scholar today, one may not be able to go down in history and be remembered for generations to come.
Right and wrong, success or failure are all in vain. Only when you truly benefit the people will you be respected by others.
Shen Shuyi said again: "A true Bole is certainly someone who loves talents, but he should be someone who is good at identifying and employing people."
"He should have the wisdom to help you stay sober, the ability to make you face your inner desires, the virtues to convince you, and the love for the people, the world, and the country..."
Shen Shuyi's words moved Yan Song's heart.
That’s right, before coming to Beijing, he had thought that if he came to the capital one day, the person he would be loyal to would be like this.
But how come he has only been in the capital for a short time and has decided to follow Sixth Prince Xiao Tingshan?
He had clearly heard about a lot of things related to him, so why did he turn a deaf ear and insist on doing his own thing?
I think it was only because he had glimpsed his inner desire for fame, wealth and power, and everything he said and did was in line with what he wanted in his heart.
Shen Shuyi looked at him quietly. People in this world are ignorant and have two sides in their hearts.
The same was true for Yan Song, who was young and ignorant at that time.
He has the ambition to achieve great things and rise to prominence, as well as the character of loving the world and being pragmatic and kind.
How you choose depends on the person you meet and which aspect of his heart you magnify.
