Yan Yan listened to the old gentleman's question and smiled.

Li Cong also asked this question, so she replied without thinking: "Old man, no contradiction, the younger generation always feels that whether a person is doing academics, business or politics, it is not only hard work, talent is also very important, therefore, the younger generation will feel that they have worked hard, even if they do not succeed, they will not regret it in the future, because this is not enough talent, it is a matter beyond personal ability, but whether they can endure hardships without care is within their own ability." ”

"In your opinion, what should be the explanation that diligence can make up for clumsiness?" Ji Weiming asked.

"Look at something. Some things can be done, some can't, for example, farming, you may be able to collect more than others if you are diligent, but writing an article may not be, it is very likely that you spend days or even months crafting an article is not as good as an improvisation work that someone else has written when his thoughts are springing. Therefore, the so-called diligence can make up for the shortcomings under the same conditions, and a person can make up for his own shortcomings through diligence, which is not a general reference. I'm sorry, but the juniors are bold. After Yan Yan finished speaking, he was worried that the other party would not be able to accept his point of view, so he gave a fist salute.

"Girl, you're really bold enough." Li Cong saw that Yan Yan mentioned politics, and he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

"Back to the emperor's uncle, the women are just talking about things, and there is no disrespect." Yan Yan also smiled at Li Cong with a fist.

"Okay, let me ask you, if it is according to you, then how should these families choose their successors?" Li Cong deliberately gave Yan Yan a difficult problem, he wanted to test whether Yan Yan had any thoughts about the position of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion.

"Back to the emperor, the primogeniture inheritance system has been followed for thousands of years, and naturally there is a reason for its existence, because the successor of a family, he needs not only talent, but also conduct, prestige, connections, courage, courage, talent and other related conditions, and the most important point, the eldest son system can avoid fratricidal brothers, therefore, this has little to do with talent." Yan Yan realized that he had exceeded the norm and hurriedly rounded up the conversation.

There is no way, relying on her strength to challenge thousands of years of tradition is tantamount to ants shaking elephants, and one is accidentally trampled to death.

Seeing that Yan Yan's answer was quite decent, Li Cong's face softened, he glanced at Li Ji, and Li Ji asked with a smile: "Oh, I don't know if in the eyes of Sister Yan'er, is my prince qualified or unqualified?" ”

"It's not qualified, it's quite excellent, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been benevolent, and after so many years of careful teaching by the emperor, it is naturally the best."

It's not all about slapping horses, because in Yan Yan's eyes, Li Ji is indeed a very qualified prince and the best candidate for the prince.

"Girl, when did you learn this?" Li Cong quipped.

"It's not learned, it's true." After speaking, Yan Yan was afraid that everyone would still be entangled in this issue, so he hurriedly looked at Ji Weiming, "Dare to ask the old man, can the grandson be taught?" ”

Ji Weiming stroked his beard, "That's it, I'll assign him a few homework first." ”

Yan Yan understood, the old gentleman wanted to see Lu You's scriptures and articles, after all, the scientific examination is not something that can be passed by reciting a few articles by himself, and it depends on a person's understanding and spirituality, that is, Yan Yan's own talent.

After the old gentleman explained a few things to Lu You, Yan Yan got up and said goodbye, she was afraid that she would stay and not be sure what problems these people would have waiting for her, and besides, she also saw that the emperor seemed to have something to say to Ji Weiming, and it was obviously inappropriate for her to stay.

Originally, Yan Yan meant to take Yan Zhang with him, but Yan Zhang didn't want to go back and forth because he had two days left on annual leave, so he sent Yan Yan and Lu You into the carriage and went back to the dormitory directly.

The carriage drove out of the academy, and Yan Yan began to recall the events of this day, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, on the one hand, he was worried that his remarks would offend the emperor, and he was afraid that the emperor would not like it; On the other hand, he is also worried that the argument with Lu Ming will affect his reputation, and at the same time, it will also make the Lu family dislike it and give birth to something else.

Lu You, who was on the side, saw that Yan Yan was a little embarrassed after getting into the car, thinking that she was tired, because he knew that Yan Yan had the habit of taking a lunch break, so without waiting for Yan Yan to speak, he took the initiative to take her into his arms, "Tired?" ”

"It's not tired." Yan Yan voiced his worries.

When Lu You heard this, his face suddenly felt a little self-blame, "Blame me." ”

"I don't blame you." Yan Yan said that in fact, she did blame him a little in her heart, if he hadn't shouted something "Finish Zhao Yanzi to make Chu", she would never have opened her mouth to argue with Lu Ming.

There is also talent and politics, if it weren't for Lu You, she wouldn't have spoken.

Fortunately, this trip was not without gain, at least Yan Yan conquered Mr. Ji with his eloquence and knowledge, and he finally agreed to accept Lu You as an apprentice.

"Husband, we are not worth this trip, anything else, just as an experience, if the elders blame, we will listen to the left ear and the right ear out, don't go to the heart." Yan Yan saw Lu You hanging his head, and comforted him in turn.

Anyway, she is a modern person in her bones, and these relatives, families, and rules have little binding force on her, but Lu You is different, he has encountered all kinds of discrimination since he was a child, and he has long left a shadow in his heart.

Who knew that what surprised Yan Yan was that this time he heard Yan Yan say something "left ear in and right ear out", Lu You's mouth unexpectedly had a faint smile, and he took out a free hand to pinch Yan Yan's face, "Okay, don't be sad, happy." ”

"Husband, why did you suddenly become bolder?" Yan Yan didn't see the expected fright, but he was a little puzzled.

"I learned from you." After speaking, without waiting for Yan Yan to ask, Lu You took the initiative to mention one more thing, "Take a concubine." ”

This reminded Yan Yan that this was not the first time Lu You had rebelled against the elders, and the fact that he rushed into the old lady's house and refused to take a concubine a few days ago could be regarded as a head start for Yan Yan, and it ended with Lu You's complete victory.

Thinking about it like this, Yan Yan was also a lot more relieved, no matter what, if you want to say that you are embarrassed, it should be Lu Ming's shame, what does it have to do with her?

Taking a step back, even if outsiders know that she is a boudoir woman, she is not alone to listen to this kind of public lecture, but to accompany her husband, what is the crime?

"Okay." Yan Yan replied to Lu You with a smile, who knew that just as she wanted to find a comfortable position on Lu You's body, the carriage suddenly vibrate, and then, Yan Yan sensed that the speed of the carriage was faster, and then, she heard the exclamations of people outside, and then, she was tightly held in Lu You's arms.
