Chapter 119: Encouragement
[I don’t want to put up with this anymore! This old man really deserves a beating! ]

[My fists are hard! ]

[Quick, pour a glass of water on his head and yell, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor!" ]

【“Mom”, someone is bullying us! 】

Although Liu Sheng was furious inside, she looked calm as if she had been slaughtering fish in the fish market for twenty years.

She persuaded the little tentacles that were about to respond ignorantly to the call and spoke slowly.

"Does Master Zhang Chunxue know?"

"Someone will tell him." Fang Yuanzheng did not answer directly, "I believe he will not object."

"After all, he can understand Qinghe's position." Fang Yuanzheng's eyes were gloomy.

"Monk Feng has worked diligently in the Qinghe Abnormal Research Institute for ten years. She has made no contributions but has worked hard. It is time to give the old lady some opportunities."

"You know, if she hadn't gotten married and had children a few years ago and had to spend time taking care of the family, she would have been promoted to the position of Si Zheng long ago."

"You are also a woman, you should know the difficulties women face. When you have a family and children in the future, you will understand how rare this opportunity is for her."

"You are still young, you have two top journal articles, and you are a monk now. You have many opportunities. Why would you compete with such a poor woman?"

"Anyway, I know you're bound to feel aggrieved. It's okay. As the director of Qinghe Weaving Institute, I can give you some rewards."

"As a reward for having my article included in the Cultivation Theory."

Fang Yuanzheng emphasized every word.

Liu Sheng knew that this meant that it could not be related to her giving up the nomination quota for the "Honghu Plan".

"Haven't you always wanted to join the Irregular Research Department? That's totally fine. If you want to go back to being the treasurer of the warehouse, that's fine too. It's up to you."

"In addition, because your article was successfully published in "Theory of Cultivation", Qinghe Weaving Institute will reward you with fifty spiritual essences as an encouragement."

Back then at the Li County Weaving Factory, Liu Sheng had only received ten spiritual essences as a reward, but this time it had increased fivefold.

But it is not known how much of it was hush money.

Fang Yuanzheng saw that Liu Sheng was still silent and knew that she was upset.

I sighed, I am still too young and can’t see clearly what is important and what is not important.

But isn’t this how I have come this far?

So he softened his tone and said, "You don't have to go to the Wanshi Hall to be on duty this afternoon. Go back and rest first and think about it carefully."

"If you have made up your mind, come and tell me tomorrow so I can arrange your position."

……

Since the dean had said he didn't need to go on duty, Liu Sheng of course went home in a swagger.

Su Yanjun watched Liu Sheng hurried away and sighed, feeling that this relaxed figure was really heartbreaking.

However, Su Yanjun originally thought that Liu Sheng would be depressed for a few days, but he didn't expect to see her back on duty the next morning.

Although it's a little later than usual.

But I can understand it, maybe it’s because I cried for a long time last night.

I was originally going to the capital to enter the National Academy, but I ended up being reduced to my original form and had to stay here.

Qinghe is good, but not as good as Chang'an.

Liu Sheng is different from her. She can see that Liu Sheng is an ambitious person who cannot be content with just getting by.

So for Liu Sheng, only by going to the National Academy and becoming an official in the court can she fully display all her talents.

Su Yanjun was still immersed in grief and sorrow for Liu Sheng's lack of recognition, and couldn't get out of it.

Seeing that there was no response after he greeted her, Liu Sheng greeted Gao Yisheng who was reading next to him.

"Gao Yisheng, why are you here today? Didn't you say you were going to concentrate on preparing for the exam?"

"Not at all. My brain is going to become useless if I bury myself in books all day. I might as well go out for a walk to change my mind."

Gao Yisheng began to shake his head again. "As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. These days, I have been missing those aunts who asked me to find cats and dogs. Their burning love for living things moved me so much that I wanted to write three hundred poems to praise them. Look, isn't this inspiration for writing?"

"Are you short of money to play leaf games?" Liu Sheng thought that he had gotten to know Gao Yisheng a little better after spending these days together.

"Hehe, for a scholar, it is also a refined thing to have some fun occasionally." Gao Yisheng blushed and said to save his dignity.

"Besides, leaf play can exercise your brain and help you prepare for the imperial examination. Do you want me to teach you?"

Gao Yisheng was ready to pull one more person into the water, but was suddenly pushed away by Su Yanjun.

"Gao Yisheng! You don't know what Liu Sheng is going through. Don't you see that she is smiling to hide her inner sadness?"

Liu Sheng and Gao Yisheng were both stunned.

Gao Yisheng even turned around and looked carefully to see if there were any traces of tears on Liu Sheng's face.

"Well... actually I..."

"Liu Sheng, needless to say, I support you, but I am timid and dare not scold that old man to his face, but I have gone back and secretly poked him." Su Yanjun said very sincerely.

"Actually, I..." Liu Sheng was interrupted before he could finish his words.

“It’s a pity that you and I are too weak to overthrow the injustice in this world. Otherwise, I would lose my job and salary, and my parents would nag me until I die…” Su Yanjun started to sob to himself.

"What happened?" Gao Yisheng became even more curious.

Su Yanjun's desire to share gossip was suddenly aroused. He looked at Liu Sheng with his eyes wide open and full of desire.

Liu Sheng nodded helplessly, allowing Su Yanjun and Gao Yisheng to talk about this matter.

However, Gao Yisheng is now one of her rare friends in Qinghe, so it doesn't hurt to know him.

After hearing this, Gao Yisheng's first reaction was to look at Liu Sheng in awe, and he almost knelt down and begged the big guy to teach him how to write articles.

"If one day I can have an article published in "Theory of Cultivation", my parents will buy a hundred copies and burn them for my grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. I guarantee that they will get one in their afterlife."

"However, as far as I know, it doesn't matter if this Honghu Project is not implemented."

Gao Yisheng also seemed to come from a scholar family. Although it was a poor scholar family, he still had some sources of information.

"Indeed, I heard that everything is in turmoil because of this grand plan." Su Yanjun had obviously heard about it.

"This recommendation system has become a major way for aristocratic families to avoid the imperial examination and enter the National Academy. It is no longer the grand occasion of the past when everyone could contribute ideas to the country. It is sad and lamentable."

Gao Yisheng snapped open his flashy folding fan and let out a long sigh toward the sky.

"I don't know why those people are so depressed. How can studying hard in a national academy be as free and easy as being a rich and noble official in a local place?"

"Then why do you insist on taking the imperial examination?" Liu Sheng was curious.

"As for me, ahem, if I don't take the exam I'll be hacked to death."

Gao Yisheng's reasons were always so exaggerated and outrageous, but he was unwilling to say who it was.

[My intuition tells me that it's a girl! ]

[Academic master senior sister, academic scum junior brother, three or two things about the academy that must be said? 】

【Have we read this kind of book? 】

[What the world is looking at seems to be this book in the library that Liu Sheng gave him. ]

Liu Sheng: "Ahem."

"So, you've finished reading your book?"

"I guess so... The rest is 10% hard work, 30% talent, and 60% luck."

When he said this, Gao Yisheng became dejected.

"So, can you lend me your book?" Liu Sheng asked.

"I am going to take the imperial examination, too."
