Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 160: % depends on hard work, % is determined by fate

Liu Xianglan hesitated and said, "I heard that the Sixth Prince is only six or seven years old, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty is in his prime, so it won't be a problem for him to live for a few more decades.

In this case, even if Su Yun became the Sixth Prince's teacher, it would take at least several decades for him to become the Emperor's tutor and a core figure in the Song Dynasty court.

It takes so long, is it worth it for us to spend so much time and effort on it? "

The young man said, "We don't want a short-term benefit, but to take deep roots in it. For a few years, a dozen years, or even decades, as long as it can play a significant role one day, it will be worth our investment."

Liu Xianglan was stunned for a moment and said, "So, it's like I really married Su Yun, will be his wife for the rest of my life, and give birth to his children..."

The young man nodded and said, "You must really marry him, and help him rise step by step, devoting yourself to him wholeheartedly.

If Guo Chao never needs you in his lifetime, you will be his wife for life, giving birth to his children, managing his household, and after you die, you will be buried in the Su family's ancestral tomb.

But don't worry, your family will live well in the Liao Dynasty, and they will offer you a shrine in your ancestral temple."

Liu Xianglan suddenly felt a little panicked and confused, but she quickly came to her senses.

This is their fate as spies. If she can even be a prostitute, why can't she be someone's wife?
As long as it is beneficial to the country, there is nothing we can't do.

The young man observed Liu Xianglan's expression and saw that she was confused for a moment, but then became firm again. He couldn't help but admire her and sighed slightly in his heart.

How could a noble lady end up on such a path unless she had bad luck?

However, his pity only lasted for a moment, and then his heart hardened again, and he said, “It’s not easy to get close to Su Yun.

He rarely went out. In nearly a year since he came to Bian Jing, he only came to Fanlou once.

The rest of the time he either stayed in the Imperial College or in the Zhang and Su mansions.

We have to find a way to get him out so we can get close to him."

Liu Xianglan nodded and said, "You must have a way to ask him out, the key is how to approach him after the date.

Want to be his wife... No, an Oiran cannot become his wife, she can only become a... concubine."

When she said this, Liu Xianglan looked a little painful, but it only flashed for a moment.

“…Even if she is a concubine, she cannot go there as an oiran, otherwise it will be difficult for him to explain to his elders.

So, first of all, I have to become a good woman. Have you made up your mind? To become a good woman means to give up the status of an oiran. We have paid a lot for this status. "

The young man nodded and said, "Then become a good person! If you become a good person, and you are still a virgin...

Well, you can’t just become a good person first, you have to become a good person because of him, and you have to give up everything to become a good person for him, so that you can achieve the best effect.”

"..."

The two of them talked back and forth and soon finalized the plan. Then they checked again to fill in the gaps, and it was not until dawn outside that they finally finalized the plan.

The young man stretched himself, showing a tired smile, and said, "It must be perfect. A gorgeous courtesan gave up her status as a courtesan, gave up her money accumulated over the years, and gave up everything she had, just to be with him.

Hehe, no matter how hard-hearted he is, he can't refuse such a woman, and we don't ask for much, just a concubine, so he can't help but be fooled, haha."

Liu Xianglan nodded and said, "It's up to you from now on."

The young man smiled carefreely and said, "This is easy for me."

Liu Xianglan nodded. Although her partner seemed unreliable, he was actually a genius.

Born into a powerful family in the Liao Kingdom, he had been lurking in the Song Kingdom for nearly ten years. Not only did he not reveal his identity, he also controlled many Song officials. He could even easily find out what was going on in the Song Palace, which shows his ability.

And it should be easy to arrange a young man to meet him, even if he is the most outstanding young man in the Song Dynasty.

Su Yun didn't know that a big net was already closing in on him in the darkness, and his life was very busy.

Su Yun did not fulfill his promise to treat Wen Huanghua and others to three consecutive days of meals, because on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Imperial College ended its vacation and started classes.

Su Yun attended classes at the Imperial College during the day, and at night he either went to Su's house or Zhang's house, where Su Zhe and Zhang Dun took turns teaching him.

Su Che and Zhang Dun had already prepared a large number of topics for him.

Because the imperial examination system was reformed during the Xining period, and it has only been five or six years since then, and the examination is held every three years, there are not many types of questions in the palace examinations of the Ministry of Rites.

But it doesn't matter. Su Che and Zhang Dun used their connections to collect question types from recent years from prefectures and counties.

Because the examinations in the Song Dynasty were set by the prefectures and counties independently, there are a large number of question types that can be collected.

But there is also some selection. Those from remote counties and cities are not accepted because their teaching level is low, the questions they set are relatively simple, and their guiding role is not great.

Therefore, Su Che and Zhang Dun collected mainly questions from important imperial examination centers such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Henan.

Even so, there were still hundreds of test questions collected. Su Zhe and Zhang Dun asked Su Yun to finish all of these test questions within half a year.

Of course, it is not actually possible to finish them all, but there are quite a few repeated question types, so after actually screening out, there are only hundreds of questions.

Even so, it is impossible to complete it within half a year.

According to the normal imperial examination, it takes three days to complete one set of questions, and it would take at least a year to complete hundreds of questions.

So it was impossible to complete it completely, but Su Che and Zhang Dun also helped him plan it.

In the early stage, you must definitely do high-intensity questions, in the middle you just need to get the gist of the questions, and one month before the exam, you have to do questions according to the intensity of the imperial examination.

So, one hundred questions are just right.

Su Yun insisted on going to class at first, but he soon gave up.

Because I am too tired.

However, even though he did exercises during the day and Su Che and Zhang Dun revised their lectures at night, Su Yun was still exhausted.

There was no other way. A test book was divided into three days to be completed, and he had to finish it in one day.

Then after finishing the work, I had to revise it in the evening. The intensity of this was only comparable to that of my senior year in high school.

However, Su Che and Zhang Dun also made it very clear that other people basically started learning it when they were eight or nine years old.

Then they start to take part in the imperial examinations in their teens, and continue to hone their skills until they are in their twenties or thirties, which takes at least a dozen years.

Su Yun spent half a year before, and now he only has half a year. Others have spent more than ten years, but you only spent one year. Do you think you can compare with those who have studied hard for more than ten years?
Are you really not taking the people of the world seriously?

Moreover, even with such strength, only three points are likely to make the list, and the remaining seven points can only be left to fate.

Su Yun was so busy that Liu Lanxiang had to wait for several days.

"Can't contact it today?" Liu Lanxiang asked.

The young man smiled bitterly and said, "The day before yesterday, I asked a student from the Imperial College to invite Su Yun to Fanlou, but he refused on the spot, saying that he had already started preparing for the Spring Examination."

Liu Lanxiang was speechless for a moment, and said, "It's only been a few days since the Autumn Examination ended, and he's already started preparing?"

The young man consoled her, "It's alright. The results will be announced soon. He has passed the exam, so he will have to socialize. He will have to come to Fanlou at that time. I will keep a close eye on him. You just need to prepare your own affairs."

Liu Lanxiang nodded.

August 23rd was the day when Kaifeng Prefecture announced the results of the exam. On this day, all of Bianjing looked over.

The north entrance of Jinshui Bridge is the place closest to the suburbs in the outer city.

This place is much more dilapidated than the city, but it is much more spacious. There are some independent small courtyards, and there are even vegetable gardens behind the courtyards for growing vegetables.

In a small courtyard, there is a persimmon tree. The persimmons are small and green in color.

There was a lounge chair under the tree, and a woman in peasant girl's clothes was slumped on the chair. The morning light shone through the leaves and fell on her face, a beauty that even the crude peasant girl's clothes could not conceal.

"Sister! Sister! Let's go and see the results today!"

The person hasn't arrived yet, but the voice has already come from outside the yard.

Yuanbaoer jumped over the threshold and into the yard.

Zhang Qinghe stretched lazily, showing off her beautiful figure. She said lazily, "What's so good about it? Didn't we see the results of the Ezhou exam before? What's so surprising about it?"

Yuan Baoer immediately said, "That's different! Those scholars in Ezhou are either old and ugly, or they are country-students. There are few good-looking and talented young people. It's so boring to look at them.

But the Kaifeng Prefecture Examination is different. This is Bian Jing, and there are young talents as numerous as carp crossing the river. Many of them are from aristocratic families. There are countless good-looking and talented ones!
Moreover, there is a tradition of catching a son-in-law from the list here, hehe, this is very interesting!

Oh, I was just chatting with Aunt Li over there, and she said that a very interesting thing happened in the city a few days ago, and that was Su Lang.

As soon as he came out of the Imperial Examination Hall, he was targeted by those who had gone there in advance to catch the son-in-law. Those people rushed into the Imperial Examination Hall just to capture Su Lang!
Su Lang was so scared that he climbed over the wall and ran away. Hahahaha, I was laughing to death. I can even imagine how miserable that guy looked!
Sister, let's go and see today. It would be very interesting if we could see Su Lang being chased by the man who wanted to catch his son-in-law. Sister, let's go, let's go."

Zhang Qinghe half-raised his body and asked curiously, "Are you talking about Su Yun? The results haven't been announced yet, why would anyone arrest him? Will he definitely pass the exam?"

Yuan Baoer smiled and said, "Just looking at his face, even if he doesn't pass the exam, people would still be willing to marry their daughter to him, okay?"

Zhang Qinghe thought of Su Yun's extremely handsome face and nodded involuntarily, "That's true."

After saying that, she couldn't help laughing.
