"Come, sit here!"

After hearing that Mu Bai was the Liu family in Jiangzhou, and looking at his current life, Li Gengyun already had a plan in his heart, and naturally knew that the relationship between Mu Bai and the Liu family was not very good, and it was inconvenient to ask about the hidden situation in front of the public, so he didn't ask in detail, and directly let Mu Bai sit beside him.

"Yes!" Mu Bai is also a smart person, he knows what Li Gengyun means, the other party no longer asks, he also nodded and agreed to sit next to Li Gengyun, after walking up to the high hall, he bowed before taking a seat, and then sat down.

"Today's first round of assessment has ended, Nangong stayed to watch the examination, and the rest of the scholars will go to the Military Division's Mansion tomorrow with their tokens to take their posts! Please! ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lee!"

It is natural for Nangong to stay in the examination, after all, the other party is a first-class assessment, naturally he has passed the first round of assessment, and the rest are all C-class, Li Gengyun ordered them to go to the Military Division's Mansion tomorrow to take their posts, which shows that their evaluation has been completed, as for what positions they can receive, they will have their own results when they arrive at the Military Division's Mansion tomorrow.

After the assessment of the first batch of scholars was over, Li Gengyun arranged for the second batch of scholars to enter the Zhaoxian Pavilion for assessment.

It is about the same as the previous assessment of the scholars, five of the ten scholars in this batch received the C class, one received the second class, and the remaining four were all unsuccessful.

Then the third batch, the fourth batch and the fifth batch of scholars entered the assessment, and when the sixth batch of scholars was over, it was already dusk, and it was late. The scholars waiting outside the Zhaoxian Pavilion were also a little disappointed when they heard the news of the end of today's assessment, but Li Gengyun had already arranged for someone to register their names, and it would continue in order at noon tomorrow, which also made them feel calm.

On the first day of recruitment, there were a total of 20 C-rated scholars, 5 B-class and 3 A-class judges. Except for Mu Bai, none of the other scholars were selected for selection.

It was already nightfall, and Li Gengyun told the three of them to continue to observe the examination tomorrow after Nangong, who had obtained a first-class assessment, and let them leave first.

"Mu Bai, you can stay and have dinner with me. Ziyi, you arrange for someone to go to Mu Bai's house and tell his parents, just say that Mu Bai stayed as the examiner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion. ”

"Yes!"

Li Gengyun successively told Mu Bai to let him eat with him, and at the same time asked Zhao Ziyi to arrange someone to inform Mu Bai's parents, saying that Mu Bai was staying in Xiangyang City as an examiner of Zhaoxian Pavilion.

This move immediately flattered Mu Bai, he was only eighteen years old and not deeply involved in the world, but he was very confident in his talent. Hearing about Li Gengyun's legendary story, he also rushed over to participate in the release of the recruitment order, this is to verify his talent, and the other is to see if this Li Gengyun is really as legendary as the rumors say.

"Thanks to Mr. Li's appreciation, I wonder why Mr. Li favors Zaixia?"

Mu Bai opened his mouth to test Li Gengyun, and he had to see how big the gap between himself and Li Gengyun was, or whether he would be better than Li Gengyun?

"Did I say I liked you?" Li Gengyun heard Mu Bai's words, with a smile on his face, and said to Mu Bai, "Then do you know why I didn't just tell everyone that I wanted to accept you as my protégé?" ”

"Here, here's the topic, it seems that Li Gengyun wants to accept me as a protégé, it seems that he wants to open up the relationship with the Liu family through me, so as to get involved in Jiangzhou, and even use the Liu family's network to recruit talents from all over the world." After Mu Bai heard Li Gengyun's words, he suddenly had a plan in his heart, what he thought was that Li Gengyun did not want himself, but wanted to use his relationship with the Liu family to catch the line of the Liu family, so as to seize the attention of Jiangzhou and even the world's scholars, so as to expand the influence of Xiangzhou's forces in the world.

"Mao Du hasn't grown up yet, and he wants to learn from others and indulge in it. The Liu family is a network I want to win, but I think you are more important than the Liu family. Between you and the Liu family, I choose you. So, the affairs of the Liu family, I plan to let you handle it yourself. ”

"Mr. Li, please use it!"

When Li Gengyun spoke, the attendant had already brought dinner, which was a standard three dishes and one soup, and Mu Bai's dinner was the same.

"Oh, good, there's work!" Li Gengyun saw that dinner had been served, and he also smiled and thanked the attendant, and then turned to Mu Bai and said, "Come, eat!" ”

"Mr. Lee......"

Mu Bai was still immersed in thinking, what Li Gengyun said just now may not mean anything in the eyes of others, but in Mu Bai's opinion, this is a very heartwarming thing. Li Gengyun immediately grasped the point that he had a discordant relationship with the Liu family, which was also because there had been a prime minister of the Eight Dynasties in the Liu family, and he had a prominent position in Jiangzhou, even the White Lotus Sect did not dare to touch the Liu family. On the other hand, because of the prominent status of the Liu family, Mu Yang, who is the son-in-law of the Liu family, that is, Mu Bai's father, was framed for greedy ink, and the Liu family also sneered at the Mu Yang family, and instead of helping them, they were driven out of the Liu family compound.

Although Mu Bai's family was disliked by the Liu family, Liu Fu was the daughter of the Liu family after all, so every year his father would take him and his mother to Jiangzhou to visit the Liu family for the New Year, but every time he was angry. This is also the reason why Mu Bai has a problem with the Liu family, to put it bluntly, it is because the family has a big business and deceives people too much. So he took the opportunity of the Xiangzhou recruitment order to come to the assessment, the purpose was to break through the sky, so that the people of the Liu family could see that his Mu family could get ahead without relying on your Liu family.

"I can probably guess about your parents. The reason why you don't have much affection for the Liu family is because of the ruthlessness of the Liu family, who didn't help your father when he was in trouble, but fell into the well and expelled you from the Liu family. Therefore, you have a grudge against the Liu family, so you will participate in the recruitment assessment, and you want to rely on your own ability to get ahead and shine on the lintel of the Mu family. I'm right! ”

While eating, Li Gengyun said to Mu Bai: "Actually, you are still young, but your qualifications are really good. In my opinion, your parents' abilities are not bad. The Liu family has been reused by the imperial court for generations, so naturally it will not leave any flaws, and your father was accused of greedy ink is to add a sum of ink to the reputation of the Liu family. The reputation of the family was burdened, and the Liu family was forced to do so at the beginning. ”

"Your father is not willing to go out again after being hit by this, of course, your father's crime has been recorded in the Great Song Dynasty Directory, and few people dare to use him. That's why they brought your mother and you to Xiangzhou, they pinned all their hopes on you, and they have learned all their life, I'm afraid you haven't done everything yet. Therefore, it is not appropriate for me to accept you as a protégé. ”

"After eating, you can think about it, you can repair a book and invite your parents to live in Xiangyang. Your family will stay at my house for the time being, and when you finish your studies, I will arrange another mansion for you. ”

"Mr. Lee......"

Hearing what Li Gengyun said, Mu Bai was first shocked, and then the grievances in his heart were finally known, and suddenly tears flowed, and he kowtowed to Li Gengyun and said, "Mr. Li!" Thanks a lot! ”

"You're welcome. Hehe, eat! ”
