Fu Chengwang looked at Zhao Lindao with a slightly changed gaze, and said, "You are indeed talented and sophisticated, beyond your peers."
After saying that, Fu Chengwang picked up the teacup and drank tea.
It means that today is over.
Fu Liqing said anxiously: "Dad, that matter..."
Fu Chengwang ignored Fu Liqing.
Zhao Lin stood up tactfully and said, "Excuse me, sir. I'll take my leave now."
Fu Liqing sent Zhao Lin out and immediately returned to Fu Chengwang, asking, "Didn't you say you would give him some pointers? Why did you let him go so soon?"
Fu Chengwang said seriously, "This boy is so young, yet he has such a broad mind. He is truly rare. But he could actually come up with such a vicious plan. He is not a gentleman. I don't know whether it is good or bad to advise him."
Fu Liqing said anxiously: "He is just answering your questions."
Fu Chengwang shook his head and said, "Don't have too much contact with him in the future. Your mother is already in talks with the Bai family. If everything goes well, they will get engaged. You will have a fiancé in the future, so it's not appropriate for you to have too close contact with other people of the opposite sex."
"I won't marry Bai Shicheng." Fu Liqing said angrily, "You don't know, Bai Shicheng is a hypocrite, even worse than Zhao Lin."
Fu Chengwang criticized, "Don't talk nonsense. Bai Kaijing is highly respected, Bai Shiyuan is also a gentleman, and Bai Shicheng is definitely not much worse."
"That was his disguise. You don't know how he behaved yesterday. He didn't look like someone from the Bai family at all..."
Fu Liqing recounted what happened on the flower boat last night with some exaggeration.
Fu Chengwang frowned slightly: "How could the Bai family's children be so incompetent?"
Fu Liqing said angrily, "If you don't believe me, go ahead and investigate. Anyway, even if I stay single for the rest of my life, I won't marry that villain Bai Shicheng."
Fu Chengwang said calmly, "Marriage is a matter of life and death, and it's not your turn to choose."
"snort!"
Fu Liqing said angrily, "You just think Zhao Lin is an orphan and doesn't have the family background of the Bai family. It will be different when he becomes the top scholar."
Fu Chengwang remained noncommittal: "Not everyone who wants to take the exam can become the top scholar."
Fu Liqing took the opportunity to ask, "What if he can pass the exam and become the top scholar?"
Fu Chengwang looked at Fu Liqing and said calmly, "As long as I am the chief examiner, he will not pass the exam."
"You can't do this."
Fu Liqing immediately became anxious: "If you don't like him, then forget it. Why do you want to embarrass him?"
"I can't let this kind of person ascend to a high position." Fu Chengwang closed his eyes slightly and said, "He is cruel and extreme. Letting him ascend to power is not a blessing for the country."
"You're making a specious argument," Fu Liqing retorted. "Filial piety is the most important virtue. Judging by the heart, not the deeds, there are no filial sons from humble families. Lust is the root of all evil. Judging by the deeds, not the heart, there are no perfect people in the world. Young Master Zhao hasn't done anything yet, and you're judging him based on just a few words. That's biased."
Fu Chengwang opened his eyes and looked at Fu Liqing calmly: "Father can't be wrong."
The news of Zhao Lin and Minister Fu's meeting spread quickly.
"Zhao Lin actually received the comment from Minister Fu that he is not a gentleman?"
"What on earth did he do to deserve such an evaluation from Minister Fu?"
"He just answered a question."
"Hiss... This trick is truly vicious. It's not something a gentleman would come up with."
"Zhao Lin is finished!"
"But Minister Fu also said that he has a broad mind, which is very rare..."
Many people were talking about it.
Fu Chengwang's status in the literati circle is such that just a casual evaluation can make someone rise to prominence.
Having received such an evaluation from him, one can imagine what Zhao Lin’s future situation will be like.
"This rebellious son!"
When Han Yuehua got the news, she was so angry that she threw the cup.
"We are upright people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. How could such a vicious and evil person appear in our family? How can we go out and see people?"
Zhao Mingyu advised: "Fortunately, outsiders don't know that he is a member of our family."
"Yes, we must not let outsiders know."
Han Yuehua said sternly, "No matter what, you can't acknowledge him outside. Also, tell your eldest sister, second sister, and third sister, they are not allowed to acknowledge Zhao Lin. Do you understand?"
"yes."
Han Yuehua paced back and forth in anger.
Last night, Butler Fang brought more than 20 people to capture Zhao Lin, but they were ambushed by Zhao Lin and almost exposed the news that Zhao Lin was the biological son of the Zhenbei Marquis.
Fortunately, Butler Fang took the initiative to take responsibility and said that he was venting Zhao Chenhan's anger, so he was not exposed.
But Han Yuehua was so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night.
After finally getting some sleep in the morning and having just eaten something, news of Zhao Lin's incident came out again, which hit Han Yuehua right in the heart.
"This rebellious son, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have brought him back."
"What do you mean he's so tired from work that he doesn't want to eat and wants to read? What kind of work does he do? Is he asked to work?"
"Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. Has he ever suffered?"
"He wants to climb up to become rich and powerful, is he worthy of it?"
"To be able to come up with such a vicious plan shows how vicious this rebellious son is. We can't let this go on. We have to find a way to stop him. Fourth Brother, do you have any ideas?"
In response to Han Yuehua's question, Zhao Mingyu could only say, "There's no other way except to bring him back. But he's very defensive right now, and we can't make any big noise, so it's going to be difficult."
"This damn thing."
Han Yuehua could only feel helpless and furious.
Zhao Mingyu said, "How about I go ask my second sister?"
"Go ahead."
Han Yuehua waved her hand.
Zhao Mingyu hurried to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion to find Zhao Mingyue.
Zhao Mingyue happened to be discussing Zhao Lin's affairs with Liu Zhengyan, the son of the Marquis of Changning.
"Zhao Lin is also ignorant. He actually dared to say such words in front of Minister Fu. If not him, who will be unlucky?"
