Chapter 164 Impressive
Wang Dongdong did not respond directly to Ling Yuke, but just shook his head: "In fact, it was the soft persimmon who told me."

When Ruan Shizhi was mentioned, his face suddenly turned red, and even his neck turned red.

Liu Sheng felt that this was similar to the roasted pork skin in her bowl.

"You should have heard it at that time, right?"

"Lanting Gathering, Letter from the North."

Except for Liu Sheng and Yang Qing who were confused, these eight short words brought everyone back to the scene three years ago.

Especially Ruan Shizhi, his face, which had just turned red, turned pale.

At that time, they were attending the Lanting Gathering hosted by Princess Lanling in the Lanting Pavilion. They and the young men of the yamen in the capital imitated the ancients in making wine cups and drinking wine by the stream, sitting by the pool, writing poems and drinking.

When everyone was a little drunk, Ruan Shizhi's servant suddenly handed them a letter.

When Ruan Shizhi opened the letter, his pale face turned pale and everyone expressed concern.

"You're just a weakling. At that time, your mother almost fell into the northern border with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, right? Fortunately, your father later went north to look for weaving academies and patrol offices in various places to gather forces to rescue your mother." Wang Dongdong said slowly.

"Yes." Ruan Shizhi certainly did not forget. At that time, he thought he would lose his mother forever.

Accustomed to being a quiet and weak playboy under the wings of his parents, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose all of this.

"I have never seen such a panic-stricken weakling." Wang Dongdong recalled that day and sighed, "So I didn't have too many thoughts. I just wanted to see what kind of weird thing was that could trap such a powerful General Ruan and make people all over the world turn pale."

"Fighting cocks and running dogs in Chang'an, there is no place to display my cultivation. It is better to do something for the people like the chivalrous women in the novels. Although after I really did it, I found that it was not quite what I imagined and it was not satisfactory..."

Wang Dongdong and Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile at each other when they thought of all the shit that happened in Li County.

Thinking about it now, it seems like a lifetime ago.

"Yes, Dongdong, you have loved reading stories about heroines since you were a child." Shao Yan smiled as she thought of it.

"It was you, Sister Shao Yan, who lent it to me at the beginning!" Wang Dongdong said with a smile.

This was the first time Liu Sheng heard these words.

Although the two are good friends, Wang Dongdong has never liked to talk about his background, and he would not mention that the reason he had to hone his skills at the grassroots level was because of a figure of the level of General Hubei.

First, I don’t want to be too high-profile, and second, I know Liu Sheng doesn’t care at all.

"Dongdong really has the spirit of a chivalrous woman. We are definitely not as good as her." Jiang Caizhi shook his head and sighed, then smiled and said, "Dongdong, I toast you a glass!"

Liu Sheng also secretly shook his head and sighed, he was worthy of being the eldest brother. Although there was no warmth in his eyes, he still pretended to be magnanimous and did his best to ease the situation.

"And Dongdong's approach is correct. Today's emperor values ​​people with experience and hates empty talk the most." Jiang Caizhi also revealed this piece of news.

"Since both Soft Persimmon and Cai Bin have been selected into the Honghu Project, I don't need to say anything more."

[Oh wow, I finally saw someone who participated in the Honghu Project alive! ]

[Humph, one of them is a bitch and the other is dumb, luckily I didn't go! ]

【Tsk, so sour.】

Jiang Caizhi continued, "You guys are still going to take the imperial examinations. If you can pass the joint examination, it's best to hone your skills before the palace examination to avoid empty talk when you meet the emperor."

"I wonder what Brother Jiang means by 'sharpening the skills'?" Yang Qing asked respectfully.

"Hunting ghosts." Jing Hao spat out two words coldly.

Yang Qing's face turned pale when he heard this: "But, this is so dangerous..."

"If you really become an official in the court, you don't know how truly weird it is. Can you really give advice to His Majesty?" Shao Yan frowned and said sternly.

Suddenly, Ling Yuke, who had been silent all this time, sneered and said, "Brothers and sisters, although this is a way out, I want to tell you that you are wrong."

"What does Yu Ke know?"

Although Jiang Caizhi had entered the court as an official, he had just started and his official rank was not high. He knew who Ling Yuke's father was, so he naturally did not dare to underestimate Ling Yuke's words.

"The news about Brother Caizhi is already old news. It seems that those old-fashioned people in the Ministry of Rites don't know about it." Ling Yuke was quite complacent. "My father said that the emperor has other ideas now." "What ideas?" Jiang Caizhi frowned and asked humbly.

Everyone leaned forward, waiting for Ling Yuke's answer.

Especially those who are about to take the imperial examination.

Liu Sheng also pricked up his ears quietly, but he already had a guess in his mind.

"Revitalize theology, revise divine books, and build temples."

Nine words, powerful and powerful.

Suddenly the whole place was silent.

Ling Yuke had a proud look on her face after she finished speaking. Her father had intended to train her and often discussed state affairs with her, so she knew a lot.

Although her father's position was not the highest among all the parents, when it came to the emperor's close ministers, her father was definitely ranked first.

Except for a certain rising figure named Wen...

Everyone knew about this matter, and of course they didn't suspect anything. Instead, they all looked thoughtful.

Except Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng had already realized that the emperor preferred this during the training in Huaishan and the recent reports from the palace, but he did not know such a specific policy.

It seems that Ling Yuke's father is not an ordinary official.

So Liu Sheng could only quietly take out the spiritual message and type a line of words for Wang Dongdong to see.

[Who is her father? ]

Wang Dongdong took Liu Sheng's spiritual message, lowered his head and typed a few words, then returned it to her.

Liu Sheng took it and took a look.

[Minister of Industry Ling Fu]

In an instant, Liu Sheng's mind exploded.

She couldn't help but let out a long sigh and put away the spiritual message.

But Liu Sheng, immersed in the discussion in his mind, was completely unaware of how loud his sigh was in the quiet box.

"What's wrong? This is... Liu Shu, right? Do you have any questions about what I said?" Ling Yuke reacted strongly and asked immediately.

Liu Sheng shook his head.

"First, my name is Liu Sheng. Second, I have no questions. You speak very well. You are amazing."

Liu Sheng even clapped his hands a few times in a very perfunctory manner while speaking.

It's even more annoying to see him trying to coax a child into calming things down.

Ling Yuke was so angry that her cheeks puffed up, but she didn't know why she was so angry, so she could only swallow it silently.

So, Liu Sheng became the topic terminator.

Liu Sheng was also happy to see this, because now everyone could finally start eating and no longer let the food get cold.

Although everyone still looked like they had their own thoughts and couldn't eat.

At this time, Ling Xiaoshu had already eaten without any courtesy, with his mouth full of grease and his stomach bloated. Liu Sheng felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, and thought that he would have to take the initiative to give some spiritual energy to the person who paid the bill later.

After a long while, Jiang Caizhi, Jiang Caibin, Yang Qing and Ling Yuke started chatting. In short, the topics were all about policy and current affairs, geopolitical relations, fine wine and tea, Chang'an entertainment and so on.

Liu Sheng listened to a few sentences and felt that there was a lot of information, but also that there was not much information, so he stopped listening.

I feel sick of eating too much roast duck and roast pork.
