The Crybaby Prince is Reborn, Where is the Prince Going?

You Changling did not discourage Jinyou. It is normal for children to have ambitions.

Yes, You Changling didn’t think that Jinyou had a useless brother, but he wanted to make progress and strive for something for himself.

Otherwise, a half-grown child wouldn’t come here alone to eat.

Jin You had no idea what he was thinking, and hesitantly handed Xiao Yunzhen to You Changling to hold, while he took out paper and pen and started writing.

Jinyou's handwriting is full of style. He spent three years in the palace practicing and polishing his calligraphy, which resulted in his current handwriting that is sharp yet as strong as bamboo.

"My friend, your handwriting is really beautiful." You Changling came over and praised him.

Xiao Yunzhen was honored to have participated in it.

[Of course, the calligraphy written by my prince is priceless!]

Jinyou's face turned red, and he wrote with even more vigor, as if he were inspired by God.

The article was very long, and Jinyou wrote it for half an hour. Its core argument was that the excessive wealth of the aristocratic families had caused the emperor to be wary, and what methods could be used to dispel his concerns...

As he finished writing, You Changling's breathing became heavier, and he praised him generously: "My dear friend, your writing is very talented! If this article were to be published among the candidates for the imperial examination, it would win first place!"

Xiao Yunzhen was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by You Changling's shout. He was so frightened that he started shaking and started crying at the top of his lungs.

You Changling frantically tried to comfort the child, "Hey, little ancestor, please don't cry. It can't be too noisy in this place."

Xiao Yunzhen didn't care about him at all. He didn't give anyone a hard time because he couldn't sleep well.

[Waaaaaa Jinyou, I want to sleep, wuwuwu, no one cares about my feelings, wahhhh, why won’t you let me sleep???]

Xiao Yunzhen's crying did attract some literati and some students wearing the academy's green robes.

Everyone was furious and stared at You Changling with unfriendly eyes.

You Changling pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly, bowed slightly to the crowd, and explained, "I'm sorry, everyone. I was just excited and moved by this young man's article, and I woke him up, thus disturbing your enjoyment... I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

You Changling's earnest words calmed people down.

Some people recognized You Changling's identity and stopped pursuing the matter. Instead, they looked at Jinyou and asked about the article.

A scholar asked, "What kind of article could have earned such praise from Master You?"

Someone else echoed: "I've never seen Master You so amazed by an article before."

Some people were disdainful: "Look carefully, this is just a child, what good article can he write? Could it be that the You family's own young people are bragging about themselves?"

He had studied hard for more than ten years and had written nearly a hundred articles in the six months since he came to Shikelai, but he had not been favored by the prefect. He really didn't want to see a little brat get ahead of him.

No matter what the article is like, he will lead the students to resist slander!

Thinking about it, the man continued, "I know that Master You has no young people in his family. Where did this child come from? Bring him here to memorize an article and deceive the prefect?"

Some people knew You Changling's character and didn't believe he would do such a thing.

"Brother Zhang, we all know what Patriarch You is like. He would never do such a thing."

Zhang Guan hadn't expected that someone among his own people would go against his wishes, and he immediately became furious. "Am I wrong? Why didn't I see Patriarch You here before? Why did he have to come just as the prefect was about to celebrate his birthday? And you still say this isn't a conspiracy?"

Some people were really instigated by Zhang Guan and began to say that You Changling had a conspiracy.

Most people don’t care about You Changling at all, but the child who wrote the article is too young. If he really steals their limelight and suppresses them, wouldn’t it tell everyone that those who hang out in Wenhua Pavilion every day are useless?

[These idiots &*……%￥&…*&....Why don't they just die if they don't have the ability? ? ? What's so sour about them? Even pickled cucumbers are not as sour as them!!!]

Jinyou was speechless. How could a child be so good at swearing?

He brought Xiao Yunzhen back, patted him soothingly twice, and whispered, "Don't be angry."

[Okay, I'm not angry, I just don't want others to look down on you.]

Jinyou patted him again, then coughed lightly. "Everyone, this article was not written by me. My brother's career has not been going well. He has heard about the existence of Wenhua Pavilion, but he dared not come here because of his dignity. I also wanted to fight for my brother, so I kept his article silent..."

"Oh? So that's how it is." As long as it wasn't written by a child, they would never admit that they were worse than a child.

The group of people laughed and talked, praising Jinyou.

What about "At such a young age, he can actually memorize an entire article. He is truly a hero in his youth."

What is "His love for his brother is deep, and he will surely achieve great things in the future."

Another said: "In three to five years, you can take the Tongsheng exam, and maybe you can even get three top marks in the imperial examination."

The group of people's attitudes changed drastically, and they were not stingy in praising Jinyou in any way, and they didn't even praise him the same way twice.

Xiao Yunzhen was speechless.

If they knew you wrote this article, wouldn't they go crazy?

Jinyou just smiled and said nothing, he was always like that.

I will feel resentment towards anything that doesn't suit me.

People hate so-called talent and cannot stand seeing people who are better than themselves, especially those who are much older than themselves.

When their peers write good articles, they may be envious and a little jealous, but they will never slander them.

Because we have all spent more than ten years studying hard.

But Jinyou is different. In just three to five years, he reached the level that they had achieved after more than ten years of hard study, and he was even better than them. That's why they feel unbalanced and resentful.

"Why am I still not as good as a little kid like you after studying for more than ten years? I can't let you get what I want so easily." This is what they really think.

People always want to inflict their own suffering on anyone else.

All the hardships they have gone through must be experienced by others as well, not just the next generation.

Jinyou concealed the indifference in his eyes, and his understanding of human nature seemed to be even more profound.

He said, "Would you like to appreciate my brother's article?"

Zhang Guan was already impatient, but he was worried that You Changling would blame him because of his previous act of slandering Jinyou.

Seeing Jinyou was willing to share the article, he immediately spoke up: "I want to read it. They say articles are like people, although I have never seen it..."

Zhang Guan was stuck, he didn't even know the other person's last name.

Jinyou spoke appropriately: "Congratulations."

Zhang Guan continued, "Although I have never met Brother He in person, his writings suggest he is a close friend."

[Hey~ How shameless! He's such a shill! He's a nobody, and he dares to talk about being your best friend with the Prince Regent? If he were your best friend, Jinyou and I would be Qin Jin.]

“…”Who is shameless?

Jinyou was speechless and really had no energy to complain.

"May I know your name, brother? I will explain it to you when the time comes."

"My surname is Zhang, please tell me your name. I will show you my single character. It is very subtle."

Jin You bowed and said, "Brother Qu Wei, this is an article I once wrote. Please appreciate it."

Zhang Guan squeezed forward without hesitation and looked at the article carefully.

After reading the entire article, he was stunned until Jinyou asked him, "Brother Qu Wei, what do you think of my brother's article?"

Zhang Guan came to his senses and tears immediately flowed down his face.

He couldn't help but cheer, "This article should only exist in heaven! Wonderful, wonderful! I wonder where Brother He is? Zhang would like to visit him in person!"

"Ah? Is it really that good?" Some people didn't believe it.

After all, Zhang Guan was also a famous student in Guangling Prefecture. He had won the first place in the examination for students of higher learning and later became a disciple of Master Hong of Guangling Academy.

It is said that Master Hong was a student of the deceased Prime Minister Fang Pei of the previous dynasty, and Zhang Guan was also a student of Master Hong.

Rounding it off, Zhang Guan is the grand-disciple of the Prime Minister.

Regardless of whether he was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, he was well-known and had great respect in Guangling Prefecture.

Zhang Guan was good at literature and was just waiting to pass the imperial examination next spring to become a Hanlin.

Now, a Brother He appeared out of nowhere, and his profound knowledge even made Zhang Guan applaud him, so everyone became curious.

Everyone rushed to read Jinyou's articles.

Jinyou took the opportunity to hug Xiao Yunzhen and pull You Changling out of the crowd, and rushed to the fourth floor.

You Changling leaned against the railing and laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, you little kid are quite interesting. Leave behind such a legend, and there's no doubt that the prefect will take the initiative to see you tonight."

Jinyou quickly waved his hands: "It's not me, it's my brother."

You Changling understood and stopped worrying. He just said, "Let's go. Since we're up here, I'll show you the fourth floor, Fengyue Residence."

Romance and romance, with beautiful women singing and dancing.

The music of stringed instruments and bamboo pipes is so pleasant to the ears that it feels like being in a fairyland.

Jinyou couldn't help but feel curious as he could only hear the music but no singing or dancing.

You Changling explained, "Singing and dancing are hard to come by." He pointed to the high platform in the hall on the first floor and said, "See that platform? After the hour of Hai, you will see what it means to spend a fortune on a beautiful woman, just for a song and a dance. What's more, the most popular courtesan of the night will be auctioned off, and the price to be sold is..."

You Changling suddenly stopped talking, realizing that he had spoken out of turn.

He slapped his mouth twice and said with a smile, "Look at my mouth. I can say anything."

Jinyou smiled, but his eyes were dim.

At first he really thought that the diners came only to the restaurant.

But after seeing the third and fourth floors, Jinyou understood what a gourmet was.

The guests are still guests, but the food is not food, the food is also sex...

No wonder just one diner took away most of Guangling's business. It has to be said that the operator has a vicious mind, but he made a huge profit and earned a fortune.

"Well, the fourth floor isn't very interesting. I'm too old to enjoy these things. You're still young, so you must stay within your means and not indulge in pleasures."

You Changling spoke so sincerely that Jinyou nodded obediently, "Junior remembers it."

"Well, you're a well-behaved child. I've been delighted since I first saw you." You Changling said, "Let's go to the fifth floor. It's only for the rich and powerful. Every prominent family has their own private room on the fifth floor, named after their surname. I have one there too."

After saying that, You Changling went ahead and Jinyou followed behind him.

There is not much new on the fifth floor, but everything you see is extremely exquisite with carved beams and painted buildings.

Even the scales of the snake-like beast carved on the pillar are clearly visible, and you can even see the two slightly bulging, immature horns on the snake's head.

Not to mention the cranes spreading their wings, their feathers clearly visible and lifelike, as if they could fly away with the wind in the next second.

Although Jinyou did not often leave the palace in Beijing, he was sure that there was no restaurant in Beijing that was as meticulous and detailed as the one he had at Diners’ Home.

Seeing Jinyou gazing at the serpentine pillar in a trance, You Changling smiled and said jokingly, "A pillar is nothing special. If you like it, I'll give you a small one when we get home."

Jinyou came back to his senses and thanked him, "It's just that I've never seen a Coiled Snake Pillar before."

There were four dragon-shaped pillars in the imperial palace's Golden Throne Hall. He had never attended court and had never seen one, but he had seen dragon-shaped pillars from the previous dynasty in ancient books, and their craftsmanship was not as good as this snake-shaped pillar.

Moreover, the snake is a little dragon, and making snake patterns on a snake that is about to transform into a dragon is a big taboo.

Not to mention that Jinyou has never seen it, even in the whole world, I am afraid that there are only diners who come here to enjoy these coiled snake pillars?

You Changling pulled Jinyou into his room, closed the door, and then explained, "This guest comes to this business...with the support of the prefect and the governor. The prefect...is quite influential. As long as he's not someone from higher up, he can do whatever he wants here. Please take a seat."
