Shocked by Lin Ruo's loud word "sit", Du Zhen was frightened and hurriedly sat down.

Zhu Xuan, who was behind Lin Ruo, saw Du Yuanzhi who was so anxious, and sighed silently in his heart. This series of reactions of Du Gongzi should be very disappointed in the eyes of his own young lady.

Zhu Xuan guessed correctly, Lin Ruo was a little disappointed, but she could understand that Du Zhen behaved like this under such a blow. At least, he didn't hysterically ask why he was teasing him so much.

"Xijiao...... That is, Yuetang, who told me about you and her. Lin Ruo said slowly, "To be honest, I appreciate your character and your ideas. I've read a lot of articles you've written, and when you took the exam, your performance was not abnormal. It's just that the head of the academy clearly mentioned that Chen Lao, the chief examiner of this course, doesn't like this type of article very much, but you still insist on your own opinion, this ranking is not wronged. ”

"Princess Rong praised ......," Du Zhen arched his hand and said, "Xiaosheng has studied hard for more than ten years, and he has also seen a lot of people's suffering. 'The article is eternal, and the gains and losses are known. If you can't put your true feelings in front of the Son of Heaven, will you not be deceived by the Son of Heaven, by the people, and by your own heart? Although Xiaosheng was born in poverty, he wanted to be the master of the people, serve the society, and serve the imperial court, and never make splendid articles for the sake of fame and future. ”

Seeing that the princess Rong in front of him was as rumored, gentle and decent, amiable and fair, Du Zhen gradually let go of the anxiety in his heart, especially when it came to his ambitions, and slowly regained his scholarly spirit.

Lin Ruo chuckled: "You are telling the truth." ”

Du Zhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly confessed: "Xiaosheng has made rebellious words again, please forgive Princess Rong." ”

Lin Ruo waved his hand: "It's okay, a scholar should have the spirit of guiding the country and scolding Fang Xuan, but he can't give birth to the arrogance of being invincible and arrogant." ”

Hearing the meaning in Lin Ruo's tone, Du Zhen immediately bowed his head and arched his hand: "Princess Rong taught you a lesson." ”

"And what are you going to do now?" Lin Ruo's tone was still as calm as water, "I know Xijiao's identity." ”

What answered Lin Ruo was Du Zhen's silence for a long time.

"Since you can't choose, why don't you listen to Concubine Ben's thoughts?"

"Please ask Princess Rong for guidance." Du Zhen bowed his hand and listened humbly.

Xijiao said that the person she trusts the most and treats her best is her fourth sister-in-law; And Du Zhen himself also admires Lin Ruo's behavior in the rumors. In addition, Lin Ruozun has said so much, and he has never forced him to leave Xijiao as Princess Rong, so he should be a credible person.

He was in turmoil at the moment, and he didn't know what to do, so he might as well listen to the words of the bystanders.

With the usual decent smile on his face, Lin Ruo said slowly: "The so-called plan, the so-called choice, is nothing more than seeing the situation in front of you clearly and making a decision. You don't have a choice right now, it's just that the authorities are confused and can't tell how many paths there are. ”

Du Zhen smiled bitterly and nodded: "What Princess Rong said is true." Princess Lao Rong relieved Xiaosheng's doubts. ”

"Everything in this world has two sides, there is positive and negative, there is yin and yang, there is right and wrong, there is gain and loss. As far as the word 'choice' is concerned, there are only two ways, stick to it or let it go. It's just that there are complicated and simple, difficult and easy, more and less, and there are two choices for each choice, and it seems that there are many choices when stacked together, which is confusing and incomprehensible. ”

When Du Zhen heard this, he carefully chewed the meaning of Lin Ruo's words, and felt that it made sense.

Lin Ruo saw that Du Zhen touched the doorway, so he continued: "Therefore, whether Xijiao's identity is a princess, or the daughter of a nobleman, or the daughter of an ordinary family, in the final analysis, there are only two choices for this matter: whether you are willing to become a dependent with her, yes, or no. However, if you choose yes, you will face a road full of thorns, and it is very likely that it will be a road of no return; And if you choose no, you have to bear the conscience of constantly blaming yourself for the rest of your life, why do you choose to give up on her. ”

Du Zhen's thick eyebrows furrowed, the choice was indeed two choices, but Lin Ruo's impartial attitude made him even more incomprehensible, whether the other party came to persuade him to leave Xijiao, or to show that he wanted to help the two.

Fortunately, Lin Ruo was not in a hurry to force him to make a statement, but continued to say to himself: "The fact that Xijiao is a princess is now irrevocable. Moreover, you should have heard the news that the emperor gave marriage to the eighth princess, and the quasi-concubine is Luo Zhe, the youngest son of the Zuo Xiang family. ”

Du Zhen's eyes were even more discouraged, although he was not a gossip, but he was not a nerd who didn't listen to anything outside the window, he had heard of this kind of news. However, when she heard that his Miss Yang was the eighth princess of the dynasty, she didn't have time to think about it, but now that she was directly exposed by Lin Ruo, she was even more depressed in her heart.

"Luo Gongzi participated in the Autumn Festival with you, he got the second-class jinshi and entered the Hanlin, and you are the third-class jinshi. Although I don't think that you are inferior to him just because of this ranking, it is, in the opinion of most people. What's more, Luo Zhe is still the son-in-law of the left minister. ”

“…… Xiaosheng and Luo Hanlin, how can the light of rice grains compete with the sun and the moon? ”

When Du Zhen heard this, he was even more depressed.

Lin Ruo shook his head: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, the rivers and lakes are tolerant of people." Don't talk about it from afar, let's talk about the Jianghuai dethroned envoy Zhang Xuzhang that you admire, he was still famous in the imperial examination of the first of you, and now in less than two years, he has jumped from a white body to a third-grade member, holding the power to inspect the achievements of Jiangnan officials and promote and promote the position of officials, who can imagine it? ”

Du Zhen smiled bitterly: "How dare Xiao Sheng compare with Master Zhang......

"Then I won't say that Zhang Dethroned the Envoy, but that you will be said. If you really want to be with Xijiao, it's not impossible. ”

"Please make it clear to Princess Rong!" Du Zhen's eyes flashed with a bright light.

"The will to marry has been made, and there are two ways, depending on whether you dare or not." A hint of fierceness flashed in Lin Ruo's eyes, "First, persuade the emperor to retract his order and marry Xijiao to you again." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's hard to climb to the sky......"

"Of course," Lin Ruo didn't hide it, "the possibility is almost zero." Moreover, according to the law of Donglu, the price of the lord is to basically cut off your ambition to ask for the people's life. I am a nobleman with no power and only wealth and false name, not a cadre who works for the welfare of the country and the people. ”

This is also the most important reason why Zuo Xiang is reluctant to let the outstanding eldest son Shang Zhu.

Lin Ruo looked at Du Zhen's struggling gaze and continued: "Second, you eloped with Xijiao, and since then you have wandered the world, wandered around, changed your name and surname, she no longer has the days of fine clothes and food, and you will no longer have the opportunity to display your ambitions." There are gains and losses, princesses and ambitions, you can't have both. Who will give up, who will get it? ”
