354. Imperial Examinations

After a while, Su Xiaojin and Tang Muchen came, and when they saw their mother, Tang Muchen was so frightened that they couldn't get out under the table.

Meng Xiaoling thought that Su Xiaojin would beat him again, so she hurriedly stepped forward to grab her, and said that she had something to say.

Su Xiaojin smiled, he was here to take her home today, not to beat him.

Wan Mei is also kind of persuasion, Tang Lingyun is smart and cute, and he is so young, don't hit him.

Seeing so many people interceding with him, Su Xiaojin softened. She walked to the table, squatted down and said to Tang Lingyun.

"As long as you don't lie in the future, E-Niang won't beat you anymore."

Tang Lingyun didn't believe it, so she had to swear in public.

Su Xiaojin couldn't cry or laugh, and warned him that if he didn't come out again, he would be beaten again.

Tang Lingyun shouted in fright: "Auntie, save me!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Meng Xiaoling's husband was going to take the imperial examination, and he was very nervous, and he couldn't sleep well for several days. Meng Xiaoling saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. She asked Su Xiaojin what medicine he could take to improve sleep.

Su Xiaojin frowned, he had a heart disease, and ordinary medicine couldn't cure it.

Tang Lingyun, who was playing on the side, found out and volunteered to enlighten him. Meng Xiaoling didn't take it seriously at all, how could he know the troubles of adults at a young age,

However, she was worried about her husband's safety, so she allowed it, and it was good to have someone to talk to him anyway.

After Su Xiaojin learned about this, he couldn't cry or laugh. What is he enlightening as a child? But seeing her son's serious appearance, she couldn't bear to pour cold water.

Tang Muchen agreed, on the grounds that his son was smart, and maybe he could really enlighten Xiucai. Take 10,000 steps back, even if he can't enlighten, it doesn't hurt.

He said so, Su Xiaojin naturally couldn't stop him, but after telling him not to cause trouble in the Meng Mansion, he let him follow Meng Xiaoling.

Tang Lingyun, who arrived in Mengfu, was more like a wild horse that had escaped. Meng Shangshu doted on him like his own grandson, and Meng Xiaoling defended him everywhere, for fear that he would be wronged a little.

But Xiucai felt that they doted on the child too much and spoiled him easily. So when he faced Tang Lingyun, he always deliberately kept a straight face and didn't smile.

Who knew that the more he was like this, the more he attracted Tang Lingyun. While Xiucai was away, he sneaked into his study and flipped through the articles he had written.

"It's not good, it's pedantic." He shook his head after reading it, indicating that his article was written in a very average way.

At this time, Xiucai came back, and he pushed open the door and saw Tang Lingyun in front of the desk.

"What are you scribbling here?" He rushed to him angrily and rebuked him for not being invited.

Tang Lingyun calmly put down the brush, took his article in his hand, and held it high for him to read.

Xiucai found out that he actually added corrections to his article and added notes to the places where the language was incomprehensible. He looked at the rough handwriting, unable to believe that it was a three-year-old child.

"You wrote this?" He looked up and asked with a hesitant expression.

Tang Lingyun nodded, what's the fuss about, the articles in the old master's house were all changed by themselves.

Xiucai was taken aback, originally he thought he was playful, and he came to his study because of curiosity. I never thought that he could not only read and write, but also correct articles. Besides, looking at his sophisticated annotations, it shouldn't be something that can be practiced in a day or two.

Xiucai became even more strange, and he began to think, maybe he underestimated this child, although he was naughty and mischievous, but he had real talent in his stomach.

"Did Ling Zun teach you to read and write?" He took Tang Lingyun's little hand and asked carefully.

Tang Lingyun shook his head, his father didn't teach himself, he

Every day is so busy, where can I have time to spend with myself. As for the mother, what does she say about letting her nature and let her children thrive, she is also free-range for him.

He told Xiucai that he was purely self-taught.

"There are a lot of books in my father's study, and when I was young and naughty, I liked to go to his house to look through them, and over time I learned a lot of words and read a lot of books."

After he finished speaking, Xiucai admired him even more. At a young age, he is full of wealth, and more importantly, he is self-taught. In contrast, I am really ashamed of my shameless self-esteem.

He took his chubby little hand and asked him to sit down and talk to him about the books he had read. Tang Lingyun did not shirk, and sat down generously.

The two had a long talk, from governing the country with literature to Sun Tzu's Art of War, Tang Lingyun answered each other fluently. Moreover, his insights are very unique, his eyes on problems are very vicious, and more often he can solve problems with a sharp point.

For example, when Xiucai said that there was a famine in Jiangnan, he said that it should be prevented, and since he knew that there were many disasters in Jiangnan, he should let the officers and soldiers prepare the necessary medicinal materials and food as soon as possible.

"If it is a plague of locusts, the people should be taught how to prevent and deal with it. In the case of floods, water conservancy should be extensively repaired to prevent such things from happening again. Tang Lingyun said the first thing, and he emphasized that everything must be treated appropriately.

Xiucai nodded frequently, he very much agreed with Tang Lingyun's opinion. If a country wants to make great efforts, it must put the interests of the people first. The ancients said that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and this is the implication.

He didn't expect Tang Lingyun to have this kind of awareness. He dragged him to continue to ask for his views on other matters, including the current national approach to statecraft, and some agrarian reform systems, all of which he wanted to hear.

Tang Lingyun does not hide it, he knows everything about Xiucai, and he has endless words. Xiucai was surprised to find that although Tang Lingyun was young, his views on many things were more mature and stable than those of adults.

He's a genius! He slapped the table excitedly.

He suddenly understood a little, why his father-in-law and his wife loved him so much, he naturally had his advantages, and the previous prejudice against him was swept away, replaced by the highest respect in his heart.

"Can you stay two more days, I have a lot to talk to you about." Xiucai said ecstatically. As the saying goes, there are fewer drinks for a thousand soulmates. Chatting with someone as smart as Tang Lingyun is simply a great blessing in life.

Tang Lingyun readily agreed, he was originally here to help him, so why stay a few more days?

When Meng Xiaoling came to call the two of them for dinner, she was surprised to see that they got along well. She was also pleased to find that Xiucai was not as depressed as before, and he became much more talkative. And all of this is the credit of Tang Lingyun.

At night, when Xiucai and Tang Lingyun were reading books together, Xiucai suddenly sighed for no reason.

Tang Lingyun dropped the brush in his hand, rubbed his somewhat sour wrist, and asked him with his eyes why he sighed for no reason.
