After Pei Ru moved out of the Lu Mansion, he rented a small courtyard in Shengjing City.
He was not a person who enjoyed pleasure. Apart from his interest in tea, he just took things as they came and did not care about anything else.
However, this courtyard is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Although it looks small, it is extremely simple and elegant inside. As soon as you walk in, you can feel the owner's orderly style. Even the trees at the entrance of the courtyard are of the same height.
Pei Rushi was meticulous in his work. When Qin Shaobei and Shen Ruoyan arrived, he had already written the petition, signed his name, and even put his fingerprints on it.
Qin Shaobei ran into him and was stunned. "Brother Pei, where are you going?"
He swallowed, feeling inexplicably nervous. Could it really be what he thought?
"Sue the Emperor."
These three words of calmness reveal a simple sense of madness.
Shen Ruoyan was overwhelmed. These things all looked normal, so how could they cause such a headache?
"Where are you going to file a complaint?" Qin Shaobei asked subconsciously. Looking at what he was holding, he was inexplicably more impressed. "Is the complaint already written?"
Pei Rushi nodded, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her behavior.
"Go to the government office. If they don't accept you, go and stop the censor's sedan chair. Shengjing is so big, there will always be a place where people can file a complaint." Pei Rushi said it in a sonorous and powerful voice. There was no frustration and dejection in his eyes, but a bright light of arguing for his rights.
Shen Ruoyan suddenly didn't dare to look directly at it. In this huge Shengjing, there were indeed places where you could complain everywhere.
But what Pei Rushi didn't know was that in a city as big as Shengjing, if someone wanted to, they could make it impossible for you to even find the place to submit your complaint...
But she had no way of saying this to Pei Rushi.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen the burning fire in those eyes for many years.
Even if it needs to be extinguished, it shouldn't be her who does it.
"Mr. Pei, calm down first. Things haven't reached this point yet." Even if you want to file a complaint, you have to have a legitimate reason. Otherwise, you will only be labeled as making trouble for no reason.
Now Qin Shaobei and Pei Rushi are both eager for a result, but they have forgotten that the final result has not yet been truly revealed.
Even if they really report it to the emperor now, it will not stand!
What will you say when you sue?
I feel that no one else did as well as I did in the exam, and I am the most talented person in the world. If I am not the best, then there is something wrong with this list - even if this is really true, it sounds too ridiculous!
"The list of the Spring Examination has been announced. This is an established fact. Madam, do you think there is still room for maneuver?" Pei Rushi's tone clearly showed disbelief.
Shen Ruoyan shook her head. She had no intention of being perfunctory, nor did she want to use delaying tactics to stabilize Pei Rushi first.
She simply analyzed the current situation and said, "The article hasn't been published yet. Even if you are truly talented, your words alone are not enough to prove anything. If you want to question the Spring Examination list, then you must come up with something that will convince everyone."
She glanced at Pei Rushi, then at Qin Shaobei, and said calmly, "Your article is your best evidence."
The people have sharp eyes. There are so many scholars in Shengjing City. Can't they tell the quality of articles?
As soon as the Spring Examination papers are published, those who understand will naturally know what level everyone is at and who will rank higher. By then, even if Qin Shaobei and Pei Rushi don't stand up themselves, someone will stand up for them and uphold justice.
This is the bloodiness of scholars!
Those who are involved are often confused, which refers to Pei Rushi and Qin Shaobei.
Both boasted of their talents, though one was quiet, the other active, one internal, the other external, their pride was similar. Therefore, when they felt their rankings were lower than they actually were, they reacted so strongly.
Because they are all conceited enough!
But now, it is not enough for them to know it themselves. If it is truly well written, then they should wait for the article to be published. Let the readers of the world see it with their own eyes, and justice will prevail in the hearts of the people.
Both of them felt that what Shen Ruoyan said made sense, so they decided to wait until the article was published before making a judgment.
Even after calming down, the two of them reflected on the same topic - maybe the people in front of them really performed better than them!
The world is so big that there are all kinds of things. It is normal that there are people better than you.
Shen Ruoyan also held a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that they really had little experience, and perhaps they would meet a real master in this spring examination.
In this way, this dynasty can still be saved!
However, she never expected the slap in the face to come so quickly, without even giving her time to react.
The article was published and then cancelled!
Since the founding of the Dasheng Dynasty, the practice of publishing the essays of candidates after the spring examination has continued without exception.
But this year, the emperor issued an edict, saying that in order to respect the wishes of each candidate and protect their privacy, the essays of this spring examination will no longer be displayed publicly.
Including, the top three articles.
"Guilty! He must be guilty!" Qin Shaobei was furious after hearing the news. Since he stood up, he has never sat down for a moment and has been walking around the room. If Shen Ruoyan hadn't asked someone to close the door, he would have flown out long ago!
"Wait and see the situation outside first, don't be the first to speak out." At this moment, Shen Ruoyan could no longer say the words that asked him to read the article before speaking.
