At this time, for Lin Yiqiu, the benevolent father, Qin's mother always bent over when she spoke.

Lin Yiqiu smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't bother, just drink some tea, I mainly want to drink Zhao Gongzi and talk alone."

"Please don't let anyone else in, I don't like to be disturbed."

"Don't worry about this, I'll just go out and say something, and remember to say hello if Childe has other instructions."

Mother Qin said a few words, then took the maidservant to close the door and retreated.

Lin Yiqiu picked up the teapot at this time, poured a cup for the other party, and poured another cup for himself.

"It seems that you have a lot of bitterness in your heart, why don't you tell me?"

He smiled and took a sip of his tea.

Zhao Qi seemed a little puzzled.

"How do you see that?"

"It's very simple, if there is no hidden secret, then why is Miss Zhaodi like this? You and he should be alike, right? ”

Lin Yiqiu pondered for a sentence.

Hearing this, I saw Zhao Qi also pick up the teacup, sighed and said: "What Lin Gongzi said is true, I and Miss Zhaodi are indeed good, to be precise, it has been set for life." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Qi's face turned rosy again, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

Lin Yiqiu spoke calmly.

"It's not uncommon to set a lifetime with a Qinglou woman, and many people in the Great Qianguo Kingdom will redeem a beautiful girl from the Qinglou as a concubine."

"But since you've made a lifelong commitment, how did you come to this point? Did you lose her? Falling in love with another woman? ”

Lin Yiqiu was curious.

After listening, I saw that Zhao Qi sighed heavily again.

"Lin Gongzi, this matter is actually a long story."

"I, Zhao Qi, was born in poverty, and my family has been farmers for generations. Looking forward to doing my best for the country! ”

"That's a good idea! And as it should be. ”

Lin Yiqiu nodded.

Zhao Qi drank tea and said: "When I came to the capital, I didn't have much entanglement on my body, and I couldn't afford to live in other expensive places." ”

"Like Xiangyue Building, Jinfeng Building, those places cost ten taels of silver a month, I'm a poor and sour talent, I can't even enter the door!"

Hearing this, Lin Yiqiu still nodded.

This is indeed a fact, Xiangyue Tower and Jinfeng Tower are relatively high-end green buildings in the capital.

There, only countless rich second generations, officials, and wealthy businessmen can have a good time.

For ordinary literati, even a cup of tea would be a luxury!

Compared to this Silver Immortal Building, it is much cheaper! You can spend at least half less money on staying for a month!

"Then you and Miss Zhaodi met here, right?"

Lin Yiqiu continued to speculate.

Zhao Qi nodded.

"Yes, Miss Zhaodi and I met in Yinxian Building, when I was drinking tea in the building, and she was playing the piano upstairs."

"Her piano sound is so beautiful that I was fascinated by it the first time I heard it, so I couldn't help but recite a poem."

"And Miss Zhaodi is also attracted by my poems and smiles at me."

Speaking of this, a happy smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Qi's face.

Although he is a poor and sour talent, many Qinglou women like talented and handsome young men.

Therefore, I don't care much about his own family background.

And obviously, that Zhaodi girl belongs to this category.

"That night was the happiest night I've ever had in my life."

"I'm in harmony with Miss Zhaodi, you and I..."

"Stop! Needless to say, the details go into question. ”

Lin Yiqiu hurriedly raised his hand.

This kind of thing is too familiar to him, and it feels really strange to listen to others talk about it.

Zhao Qi's face was embarrassed, and then he said: "My identity with him is low, so although we have feelings for each other, they are both extremely restrained, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to get along alone." ”

"However, Mother Qin knew about it, but she didn't object, and said that as long as I am willing to take Zhaodi away, then he is willing to hand over Zhaodi to me."

"Mother Qin thinks that I am a man who can give Zhao Di a lifetime of happiness."

Hearing this, Lin Yiqiu became even more puzzled.

"Why did you get to this point? Why did Zhao Di jump off the building? ”

"Alas, Lin Gongzi, all this is also related to my conceited character."

Zhao Qi drank tea, but it felt like he was drinking.

"In this exam, I thought I would definitely be able to top the high school rankings! Because I believe that my articles will surpass everyone else! ”

"The flashy rhetoric they write is useless! But I'm different! I've been away from home ever since! Traveled poorly in the mountains and rivers of Qianguo! I have the deepest understanding of the ills of the Qianguo! ”

Therefore, my article is completely realistic people's livelihood! One of the suggestions is also my sincere wish! But..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Qi's originally confident face suddenly showed a touch of loss.

"But what?"

Lin Yiqiu frowned.

Zhao Qi said again: "I have a friend named Jia Xiangyang, and he knows the nephew of a Ministry of Rites official!" ”

"From that person's mouth, Brother Jia heard about the results of this exam, and he was at the top of the list... It's not me, it's not even my rank... Not in the top three, within the top 100! ”

"I was suspicious! But after that! The news that no math has inquired about is like this! I... I'm off the list! ”

It can be seen that this incident is a big blow to Zhao Qi, because while talking, he can't stop beating his chest and feet!

And Lin Yiqiu is also very familiar with this matter.

That's right, at the beginning, this Zhao Qi did not even enter the top three, not even a hundred!

If it weren't for the time when I reviewed him, I would have promoted him to the top prize, I'm afraid that this ranking would have been fixed!

And Zhao Qi obviously didn't know what happened later, so he was so lost, which is completely understandable.

With the level shown in Zhao Qi's article, he is even better than many officials of the Ministry of Rites and some students of Guozijian!

This kind of practical article and practical talent are exactly what the great cadres need!

It was precisely because of these points that Lin Yiqiu brought it up again and appointed it as the champion scroll!

And Zhao Qi, the more he talked at this time, the more sad he became.

"I was originally a poor literati, and my family was even more destitute, with only a 60-year-old mother and a 10-year-old brother."

"I wanted to try to soar to the sky, but the reality shattered my ambition directly!"

"So. So..."

Fragmented, Zhao Qi couldn't go on anymore.

Lin Yiqiu already understood after hearing this.

"That's why you're hesitant to take Miss Zhaodi away, right? Because you think you can't give him a stable and happy life? ”

"Exactly!"

The corners of Zhao Qi's eyes are also moist!

"I'm a poor talent, I have no money and no power, and I have to take care of my mother and younger brother when I go back!"

"You say, how can a family like mine make Miss Zhaodi live happily? Didn't he suffer in vain when he went back with me? ”

"As a man, how can I let a woman follow me?"
