"Yes." Wang Liang rolled out obediently.
Lu Mubai opened the door of the secret room, entered the secret room and sat on the dragon chair. He picked up his unfinished dragon robe and began to embroider it stitch by stitch, still muttering to himself: "This country will belong to me sooner or later. I must stay calm, stay calm."
The needle in Lu Mubai's hand became more and more stable, and he finally calmed down.
Inside the Hou Mansion
Shang Yuanshan smiled and looked at Shang Yanqing: "You little bastard, you are being too clever for your own good. It's been such a long time, and you still haven't had anything to do with that little girl from the Shen family.
I told you to announce your recovery a long time ago, but you kept it a secret. I want to see the Shen family girl worrying about you every day. I want to see if she will be angry if she knows that you have been keeping it a secret. "
Shang Yanqing's face was filled with sorrow. He was about to take the imperial examination, and he could no longer hide the truth. "I told her a long time ago. She didn't believe me when I said I was cured, and she even comforted me."
"You act so silly when you see someone, who would believe you? You should think about what to do. If you make the little girl from the Shen family angry and leave, I don't think you will be able to find a wife in your life."
"Dad, you have to help me."
"How can I help you if you don't do your best?" Shang Yuanshan turned around and walked away, and Shang Yanqing caught up with him.
"Dad, you and mom have such a good relationship, there must be a way."
Shang Yuanshan's mouth curled up. "That's true."
“Dad, you….”
Shang Yuanshan stopped and made a hushing gesture. Shang Yanqing looked in the direction his father was looking.
It was his mother who was holding Yangyang and standing in front of the wooden pillar.
"Yangyang, you've grown a lot taller in the past few months." As she spoke, Lin Siqing took a knife and made a mark on the wooden stake.
Shang Yangyang's little face was filled with a big smile. "Mom, eat well."
Lin Siqing gently rubbed Shang Yangyang's little head. "Your hair has gotten better recently and it doesn't stand up anymore."
Shang Yangyang nodded vigorously. [Damn Heaven, you screwed me for so long, luckily I have recovered.]
Lin Siqing led Shang Yangyang away, and Shang Yuanshan retracted his gaze and looked at Shang Yanqing. "I, your father, can't help you. You can only rely on your own efforts."
Shang Yuanshan walked away with a smile, leaving Shang Yanqing standing there with a sad face.
A few days later, Shang Yanqing stood in front of the Imperial Examination Hall holding two bamboo baskets full of things.
At this time, some students had entered the Imperial Examination Hall one after another, but he stood there, staring at the door of the Imperial Examination Hall in a daze.
After a moment, he strode up the stairs, and after the routine inspection, he successfully entered the tribute hall.
Shang Yuanshan in the carriage in the distance lowered the curtain. "Is this brat going to keep a low profile?"
Shang Yangyang nodded her head in a rush. [My elder brother hasn't explained his situation to Sister Mengli yet, which makes me, the little matchmaker, very worried.]
Shang Yangyang sighed, opened the curtain of the car, and looked towards the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall. She saw a familiar figure.
【Shang Jinzhi is here too.】
Shang Yuanshan came forward and saw Shang Jinzhi's back. He stared at the back as he walked into the Imperial Examination Hall, and he lowered the curtain of the carriage.
"Go back home and come back to pick up your brother the day after tomorrow."
"good."
Three days later, Shang Yangyang came to pick up Shang Yanqing and found that Shang Yanqing no longer had the high spirits he had when he left, and now his face was full of fatigue.
After returning home, Shang Yanqing didn't say much. He took advantage of the time to rest and went to the Imperial Examination Hall again the next day.
There were three examinations in total in the Autumn Examination. Every time, Shang Yanqing entered the Examination Hall in high spirits, and came out three days later with a tired face. Finally, today was the last day of the Autumn Examination. Shang Yangyang and the others had been waiting in front of the Examination Hall early, and they thought that this time he would leave in a low-key manner like in the past.
But just as Shang Yanqing was walking out of the Imperial Examination Hall, he was stopped by someone. "Shang Yanqing~"
Shang Yanqing didn't want to pay attention to it, but the man caught up with him, and that man was Shang Jinzhi. When he confirmed that it was Shang Yanqing, his face showed mixed emotions.
Shang Jinzhi raised his voice: "Shang Yanqing, why are you here to participate in the Autumn Examination?"
Those tired students were attracted by his voice, and some of them recognized Shang Yanqing, and they couldn't suppress their surprise.
Someone sneered and said, "Isn't Shang Yanqing a fool? How can a fool come to participate in the Autumn Examination?"
The students present were all talking about it, but it had no effect on Shang Yanqing at all.
Shang Yanqing said slowly, "I was already a scholar when I was ten years old. Is it okay for me to come and participate in the autumn examination now?"
Shang Jinzhi's eyes fixed, he stared at Shang Yanqing in surprise, he took a few steps back in shock, because he found that Shang Yanqing no longer had that silly expression.
The students present also noticed something was wrong, and some couldn't help but ask, "Shang Yanqing, are you stupid?"
"Well, the poison in my body has been resolved."
Everyone present was in an uproar and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
When they recovered, there was a lot of noise here: "It's over, Shang Yanqing was a scholar at the age of ten, so this time the champion will be him, right?"
"Oh, are you kidding me? A person who has been stupid for eight years is lucky not to be at the bottom. You still want to take the top spot in the exam. Are you kidding me?"
This remark woke everyone up, and they all felt relieved. They had studied hard for so many years, it was impossible for them to be inferior to someone who had been stupid for so many years.
Shang Jinzhi felt relieved when he thought about this. He looked at Shang Yanqing with a sneer, then turned and left.
But Shang Yanqing no longer had time to pay attention to these people. He had to hurry to the Shen Mansion. He had to explain everything quickly and not let Meng Li misunderstand him.
Shang Yanqing quickened his pace and ran onto the carriage. "To the Shen Mansion."
【Big brother, why are you so anxious now? 】
[Big brother is usually very decisive, but when it comes to Sister Mengli, he is doomed. ]
Shang Yanqing also knew that he was being too slow, but he was worried about scaring Shen Mengli, and worried that he would lose Shen Mengli once he exposed the truth. But now he had to explain it clearly.
Soon the carriage stopped in front of the Shen Mansion. When the gatekeepers saw several people coming, they thought they were here to see General Shen and did not stop them.
Shang Yangyang saw Shang Yanqing's anxious look. She had already asked Xiaobai to find out where Shen Mengli was. She was now in General Shen's yard.
When they arrived outside General Shen's courtyard, they happened to hear the conversation between the grandfather and grandson.
"Li'er, do you really like Yan Qing?"
Shen Mengli nodded firmly. "Grandfather, I am sure I like him. I used to think it was just admiration when I was little, but after a year of contact, I can be sure that I like Shang Yanqing."
General Shen continued, "Even if Yan Qing's illness can never be cured, you still like him."
"Well, I like everything about my grandfather. Whether he was the high-spirited young man eight years ago or the innocent and kind-hearted man now, I like him all the same."
General Shen nodded. "But Li'er, you have to know that if you choose Yanqing, you can't be like an ordinary couple. Maybe Shang Yanqing doesn't know what love is, and you won't get his emotional response. You may have to bear it."
