Chapter 131 It would be a pity without you
Such a dream is, of course, false and made up by Cen Yan.
But it did not affect her using it to persuade Ji Yunzhan.
"Last time I told you to study for the imperial examination, and you said you would seriously consider it. So many days have passed, and I just want to ask you again, what is the result of your consideration?" she inquired.
“This…” Ji Yunzhan was speechless for a moment.
"Didn't you listen to what I said at all? Didn't you think about it at all?" Cen Yan couldn't help but get anxious when she saw that he couldn't answer.
"No, no..." Ji Yunzhan wanted to explain, but the fact was that his mind was full of how to make money these days and he forgot about this matter for a moment.
"What is that?" Cen Yan asked him anxiously.
Since it concerns his safety for the rest of his life, she really cannot help but be anxious.
When Ji Yunzhan saw how anxious she was, he knew that she was thinking about him, and he felt mixed emotions, happy and conflicted, and was in a state of complete contradiction.
When Cen Yan saw him hesitate, she knew that he had not thought it through at all.
Last time, he hesitated because of his adoptive father's previous teachings. She gave him time to think about it, but he simply put the matter behind him.
Should we give him more time this time?
Cen Yan felt that although this was his personal matter and she shouldn't interfere too much, she really couldn't help it!
We can't let him go on like this any longer!
"Since you have never thought about this matter, let me make the decision for you. You must read this book. What I mean is, you should read the book first. As for whether to take part in the imperial examination, you decide for yourself. How about it?" Cen Yan said.
When Ji Yunzhan heard this, he was a little surprised.
Just now she said that she wanted to train him to be the new top scholar, which would be a sure win. Now she changed her mind?
"But if I only study and don't take the imperial examinations, I won't be able to get any honor, let alone the top scholar. Will you still want to train me? If so, then you're doing a losing business." Ji Yunzhan said this deliberately.
"Then what can I do?" Cen Yan sighed, but in fact she was retreating to advance, waiting for Ji Yunzhan to ask her this!
She sighed, and Ji Yunzhan looked at her with some interest, waiting for her to continue.
I don’t know what’s going on in her little head?
"I see that you like reading so much, how can you just stick to these books in your collection? There are more than just so many books in the world. I want to see you read many, many books, know more things, and have a broader vision. To achieve this, applying to the county academy is an excellent way. You know, the three academies in Xiangyao County are so famous and powerful that even the Imperial Academy may not be able to compare with them. The reason why these three academies in Xiangyao County are famous comes from inheritance and from the great scholars who are now working in the academies. They have spent their entire lives learning and are waiting to pass them on to the students. Brother Ji, I just think it would be a pity if you were missing from these students."
Cen Yan looked at him and said sincerely.
She really felt that way.
The dream she had before clearly told her how smart Ji Yunzhan was.
Such people should walk on the right path, be clothed in glory, and be seen by everyone.
Ji Yunzhan was undoubtedly moved by her words.
He looked into her clear and flawless eyes, and could fully feel the "what a pity" she said at the end. She was really afraid that he would not agree, not go to school, not read thousands of books, and not have a broader vision...
She was afraid that he would be lost in the market, his talents would not be able to be fully utilized, and would be buried and become mediocre.
He could completely understand what she was thinking because this was a fear he had once had.
He studied hard since he was young, but his adoptive father told him to give up the path of imperial examinations.
Before his adoptive father died, he asked him to sell all his property, join the Wei family, and become an ordinary mountain man, spending his life farming and doing business.
When his legs were broken by the father and son of the Wei family and he was thrown into the forbidden forest, crying out to the heavens and the earth for help but to no avail, he was desperately waiting to die...
The fire in his heart was extinguished little by little.
He also thought that he no longer had such a desire in his heart.
But at this moment, listening to Cen Yan's words of regret for him, he suddenly understood something.
Even if you drink ice for ten years, your blood will never cool down.
The desires and ideals in his heart were never truly destroyed!
"Okay! I promise you!" At this moment, Ji Yunzhan felt his blood boiling little by little, and he said without any hesitation.
"Really?" Cen Yan seemed to be overwhelmed by this sudden surprise, because she thought that he, a man with his own ideas, might not listen to what she said.
"Of course it's true." Ji Yunzhan looked at her, with stars twinkling in his eyes. "Next year, I will definitely take the entrance exam to the three major academies in Xiangyao County. In the future, I will also take the imperial examination. Even if I can't become the new champion, at least I can help you not lose so much money."
"That's great!" When Cen Yan heard that he actually agreed, she jumped up with joy.
Then, she realized her behavior and sat down again under his smiling gaze, feeling embarrassed.
She adjusted her hair, lowered her head slightly, and couldn't suppress a smile on her lips.
"Cen Yan, why are you so happy about my affairs?" Ji Yunzhan looked at her, moved his lips, and after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.
"Because I regard you as a very important friend of mine!" Upon hearing this, Cen Yan immediately raised his head and looked into his eyes very seriously.
She answered so decisively, without any hesitation, because there was a bond between them from their previous lives, and she was absolutely sure of it.
But after hearing such an answer, Ji Yunzhan felt somewhat disappointed.
It turned out that she only regarded him as a friend.
But then, his mood brightened a little.
Not just any friend, but a very important friend!
He should be content!
Ji Yunzhan warned himself like this, and at the same time tried his best to suppress his greed, nodded, and said: "Me too, you are also a very important person to me."
Upon hearing this, Cen Yan smiled happily.
She didn't hear any difference between this sentence and what she just said.
I just feel that they met too late in their previous life and missed the opportunity to become good friends who support each other, so they must not miss it again in this life!
…
…
Cen Yan reached an agreement with Ji Yunzhan and was in a very good mood.
But over at Old Cen's house, although everything has been calm these days, there are actually undercurrents surging underneath.
Ever since Cen Fang was forced to leave the old Cen family in disgrace, Old Mrs. Cen has been feeling uncomfortable.
