His innermost thoughts were revealed, and he ventured into a fictional dynasty with the system.
Chapter 13 The Imperial Examination (2)
Hearing the increasingly passionate recitation of poetry downstairs, Qin Qianluo couldn't help but sigh to 001, "The ancients said that the poet Li Bai, with a single utterance, captured half of the Tang Dynasty's golden age. Hearing these students' poems now, it feels like half of a golden age has arrived."
001 agreed, replying, "Yes, Luo Bao, it truly lives up to its reputation as an imperial examination system comparable to the Dragon and Tiger List! I've certainly broadened my horizons."
Upon hearing this, everyone's cheeks flushed. Master Qin and that person called 001 had acknowledged their talent! Half a golden age—that was incredibly high praise! They didn't feel there was anything wrong or unconvincing about comparing so many of them to one person. Hadn't they heard Master Qin say that this was the Poet Immortal? Having the opportunity to be compared to him, or even comparing everyone present to one person, was still an honor. For a moment, everyone's spirits soared, and brilliant lines flowed from their lips.
Qin Qianluo felt a little hungry, so she rummaged through her spatial storage and found some snacks like pork jerky, beef jerky, and pistachios. She placed them on the table and ate while looking downstairs. Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room. Qin Qianluo went to open it and was slightly surprised to see that the person at the door was Prime Minister Su Jinyun. She smiled and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Prime Minister Su."
Su Jinyun smiled and helped Qin Qian up, then asked, "Would young Master Qin mind if I joined you in appreciating the talents of these students?"
Qin Qianlu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, thinking that Prime Minister Su had come to the wrong room. It seemed that he had indeed come to find her, so she smiled and gestured for him to come in, saying with a smile in her eyes, "It is my honor that Prime Minister Su is willing to come with me. Please come in."
He welcomed Su Jinyun in, poured her a cup of tea, and gently pushed it in front of her. Looking at the beef jerky on his tea and snack plate, he secretly thought something was wrong. He secretly reached over, picked up the beef jerky, picked up the tea and snack plate, and placed it in front of Su Jinyun: "These are just some snacks that I've been making on a whim. Please try them, Prime Minister Su."
Su Jinyun pretended not to see the suddenly disappeared beef jerky, smiled, picked up a piece of pork jerky, tasted it, and asked, "What is this? It's slightly sweet, chewy, and tastes good."
Qin Qianluo glanced at the pork jerky in Su Xiang's hand: "This is pork jerky, made from the hind leg meat of a boar. It's not bad as a snack."
Su Jinyun raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Oh? This method is quite novel, and it doesn't have the fishy smell of pigs at all. On the contrary, it gets more and more delicious the more you eat it. I wonder if Master Qin could tell me how it's made?"
Qin Qianlu felt a little annoyed, forgetting that the pig had not been castrated and would have a fishy smell. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Of course, I will write it down and give it to Prime Minister Su when I return to the manor."
Looking at the delicate little person in front of her, Su Jinyun smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Master Qin. You can call me Sister Su in private."
When Qin Qianluo saw Su Jinyun's smiling face, her cheeks flushed slightly. She thought to herself that Su Jinyun was too beautiful, but she pretended to be serious and replied, "Okay, Sister Su. You can also call me Qianluo."
Su Jinyun smiled even more happily, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Okay~"
As she spoke, she picked up another pistachio. There were pistachios in the palace, and Su Jinyun knew that this was taken from the little maid's space. She didn't ask any questions, and with her delicate hands, she peeled off the shell, took out the flesh, and put it in her mouth to savor it.
Qin Qianluo was utterly stunned. Though she didn't show it on her face, she was inwardly praising 001 like crazy: "001, how can someone be so beautiful? Just eating a pistachio is such a delight to behold! I really want to eat a pistachio peeled by this beautiful lady herself. I feel like eating a pistachio peeled by a beautiful lady would be even more joyful!"
001 "Luo Bao, tone it down a bit. Don't be so infatuated."
Hearing this, Su Jinyun's lips curled into a smile that wouldn't fade. She deftly peeled another pistachio, holding the kernel to Qin Qianluo's lips, her eyes crinkling with laughter as she gestured for her to open her mouth. Qin Qianluo opened her mouth in a daze and ate it, her cheeks flushed. She appeared to be chewing the pistachio blankly, but inside she was thinking, "Ahhh, 001, look! This beautiful sister is feeding me! I'm so happy!"
001's soft, childlike voice held a hint of helplessness: "Luo Bao, don't be so pathetic."
The crowd downstairs: So who entered Master Qin's private room and even managed to steal his attention? How despicable!
Qin Jiyuan: Who's trying to seduce my little sister? He angrily wanted to go upstairs, but was stopped by Su Xiang's guards. After realizing it was Su Xiang, he went downstairs dejectedly, pretending that he had never been up there. He couldn't beat him, and he didn't dare to.
001. To divert Qin Qianluo's attention, "Luo Bao gave Prime Minister Su the recipe for pork jerky, but the pigs in this dynasty are all uncooked, so even with the recipe, you can't make it."
Qin Qianluo's attention was successfully diverted. "Then write about the castration method. I remember there's a book in the study that describes it."
001 glanced at the study in the space. "There's a book on animal husbandry, so I should have it. I'll go photocopy the section on pigs."
Qin Qianlu thought for a moment, then said, "001, why don't you photocopy the whole book? I'll give it to Sister Su too, so that ordinary people can learn animal husbandry techniques and afford to eat meat."
001 agreed and went to make copies. Su Jinyun was just a little annoyed that 001 had diverted Qin Qianluo's attention, but when she heard about the book "Complete Guide to Animal Husbandry," her breath caught in her throat. This was a good book concerning the common people, and her annoyance vanished instantly. Then she heard about the spatial study and was really curious about what books Qin Qianluo had. She wanted to go in and take a look, but she knew she couldn't bring herself to say it, otherwise she would expose that she could hear Qin Qianluo's thoughts. At this time, Su Jinyun didn't know that she would later actually enter that magical space and see that room full of books. Although she went in injured, it satisfied her curiosity and gave her an excuse to frequently enter the space to look at the books.
Upon hearing the surname Su, the crowd downstairs roughly guessed that the person inside must be the current Right Chancellor. Their dissatisfaction vanished instantly. Hearing about the "Space Study" and "Complete Guide to Animal Husbandry," they felt a surge of curiosity. Those were books brought out by the amazing young Master Qin, and they even mentioned such a magical item as a spatial dimension! They wanted to see it…
Qin Jiyuan: Don't even think about it. I wouldn't dare go upstairs, but I can still stop you. The main problem is the study; I haven't even been there myself yet. Qin Jiyuan felt wronged, but he didn't say anything.
While chatting with Su Jinyun, Qin Qianluo was also paying attention to the commotion downstairs when she suddenly heard a clear, cool female voice reciting an extremely beautiful poem. Her eyes sparkled as she looked over and saw a woman with a delicate and pretty face, a pink dress, her lips slightly parted, revealing bright eyes and white teeth.
Overjoyed, she said to 001, "001, look at that young lady in the pink dress! She's so beautiful! Truly, her smile makes everything else pale in comparison. It's as if her smile makes everything around her lose its luster."
001 saw the woman; she had a delicate and pretty face, indeed beautiful. "Indeed, coupled with that cool, clear voice, she exudes a powerful, mature aura."
Everyone looked at the woman in pink. She was beautiful and had a melodious voice, like a clear spring. What did she mean by "mature and sophisticated"? Hearing this, the woman in pink smiled even more brightly, thinking to herself: This young Master Qin is really talented. Such a direct praise makes me a little embarrassed.
Qin Jiyuan subtly shifted his feet, seemingly unintentionally blocking Qin Qianluo's view. He thought to himself: Look at me, look at your brother. Stop looking at other women all the time. If you keep looking, everyone will know you're a lecher. It's infuriating that a woman likes to look at beautiful women like this. He would never admit that he was jealous.
Su Xiang also saw the woman, and she was indeed as stunningly beautiful as Qin Qianluo had described. However, he was somewhat displeased. Why was she calling someone "sister" again? What did this "little sister" mean? That woman looked quite old; what did she mean by "mature and sophisticated"? He picked up his teacup and took a sip, his eyes brightening. This tea was truly delicious. Thinking of asking Qin Qianluo for some tea, he decided to take her attention. He put down his teacup, wiped his mouth, and softly asked, "I wonder what kind of tea Qianluo has?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo turned to look at Su Jinyun and said with a smile, "This tea is called Tieguanyin. I usually like to drink this tea. If Sister Su likes it, I will send it to you tomorrow along with the recipe for the pork jerky."
Su Jinyun looked at the person in front of her with a smile in her eyes and nodded: "Then I won't stand on ceremony with Qianluo. Thank you, Qianluo."
Qin Qianlu waved her hand dismissively. There were plenty of teas in the space, and the space even had an automatic restocking function. How could she refuse a beautiful woman's offer?
The poetry gathering came to an end amidst the two's casual conversation. The Qin siblings bid farewell to Su Jinyun and returned to the Left Prime Minister's residence. Qin Qianluo couldn't hide her excitement at the thought that she would have the opportunity to see so many beautiful women in the court in the future. She once again marveled at the Emperor's benevolence and respect for women. He truly did a good job of gender equality, completely unlike the harsh treatment of women in ancient times in her previous life. Having lived here for eleven years, she had never heard of those ridiculous things like "Admonitions for Women" or "Rules for Women".
After having dinner with her parents, brother, and sister and chatting for a while, Qin Qianluo returned to the courtyard. 001 had already taken out the photocopied animal husbandry manual and the recipe for pork jerky. Qin Qianluo also took out tea leaves and put them away. Thinking of the medical books that she hadn't given to the imperial physicians yet, she took out the photocopied medical books, wrapped them up, and put them on the table, preparing to give them out together tomorrow.
The next day, after court, Qin Qianlu walked briskly to her carriage, took out the medical books meant for the imperial physician, and, taking advantage of her father's inattention, handed the books to the head of the Imperial Hospital: "Imperial Physician Xu, these are some medical books I obtained by chance. I am not skilled in medicine, so I will give them to you. Please take them and see if there are any suitable prescriptions to spread so that more people can be saved."
Upon hearing this, Physician Xu accepted the document with trembling hands. In fact, the other physicians had been waiting impatiently, but Physician Xu had kept quiet and prevented them from asking. Of course, they dared not ask either, for fear of revealing their ability to hear thoughts. Now that they had finally obtained it, they were overjoyed: "On behalf of the people, I thank Lord Qin. Lord Qin is so young yet has such a broad mind. We are ashamed of our own inferiority and will certainly not disgrace these medical skills."
Qin Qianlu smiled and waved her hand, watching the head of the Imperial Medical Academy leave. Then she turned around, picked up the books and tea she had promised to give to Prime Minister Su, and walked towards Su Jinyun, who was talking to the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat.
