Li Yunxing was a little surprised when he heard these words for the first time, and couldn't help but look at Du Yiwen again, now when everyone is eager to be alone, it is the first time he has seen someone who takes the initiative to take responsibility for himself.

Most crucially, he saw that this man was not posturing, but really felt that he deserved to be punished.

Li Yunxing smiled and turned his head to look at Shen Qingshan, Shen Qingshan was moved by Du Yiwen's words, if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have pulled this person to have a good drink.

Shen Qingshan shook his head helplessly, he didn't have much contact with these students before the imperial examination, and his understanding was superficial, so he selected these ones that had some intersection with him before, he felt that his character was acceptable, but he didn't expect that there was only one Du Yiwen among these people, which was really his mistake.

Li Yunxing didn't say anything, beckoned directly, and called Du Yiwen to his side.

This move fell in the eyes of others, that is, Li Yunxing had already admitted Du Yiwen, and everyone's teeth were itching even more jealousy, and some people began to echo what Du Yiwen said like an afterthought, but it was quiet in the box, and no one paid attention to him at all.

Li Yunxing patted Du Yiwen on the shoulder.

"I have some impressions of you, do you remember what I said to you during my palace exam?"

Du Yiwen nodded.

Because he had not participated in the banquet of Kui Xinglou before, firstly because he had no money, and secondly, because he did not want to make useless compliments, he was one of the few people who did not know that Li Yunxing was the leader of the imperial examination.

He saw that the faces of the students who walked out in front of him were not very good, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very strict, or that the questions of the examination were particularly tricky, and after entering, he was even more afraid when he saw the majestic scene inside.

He looked nervously at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him, he was the only hope in the family, even the first imperial examination student who came out of the small county town where he was located, he still remembered the expectant eyes of his father and mother before going to Beijing to catch the exam, they had hope for themselves, hoping that he could pass the imperial examination to become an official and change the fate of their family.

Therefore, when Du Yiwen faced Li Yunxing, the whole person was very nervous, the burden on his body was too heavy, if this road did not work, he would not dare to imagine his father's disappointed gaze.

But when Li Yunxing finished talking about the palace exam questions, he was stunned, racking his brains to answer the questions, he felt that the answer was not good, but Li Yunxing nodded and comforted him.

"You didn't answer badly, it's just a mediocrity, I read the articles you wrote, and I can see that you haven't read many books, but you have your own unique opinions, and you can be in the top ten on the gold list, which is already amazing."

Du Yiwen blushed at first, and then his eyes turned red, he really hadn't read any books, because his family was poor, he had no money to buy books, let alone money to pay for it, so he often sneaked under the window of the school and eavesdropped on his master's lectures.

Fortunately, the master is a good man, seeing that he is so studious, he let him listen, but he has just learned to hyphenate words, usually nothing to do with a small branch on the ground to practice words, I didn't expect to be able to practice a good hand with wooden sticks and sand, my father and mother at that time also persuaded him to have time to find a strength to do it, after all, at that time to read and learn words is useless, the officials are all children of the family, like them such a poor family, this life can not get ahead.

Later, the prince said that he wanted to hold the imperial examination, and the master recommended him that he could try to participate in the imperial examination, Du Yiwen was frightened at that time, after all, he had never read any books at all, and the imperial examination time came in such a hurry, where did he have a chance?

But the master is full of confidence in him, because he has taught many students, and knows that Du Yiwen is actually very smart, and he learns things and memorizes things very quickly.

Since then, he has been reading and memorizing books during the day, and if his brain really can't turn around, he will start to practice calligraphy, sleeping only two or three hours a day, and sometimes he does not forget to memorize books in his sleep.

Seeing that he was so attentive, his father and mother took out all the savings of the family, and borrowed a lot from his neighbors, and even the master quietly dragged him aside, handed over all his savings to him, and asked him to go to the capital to take the exam.

In this way, he came to the capital with everyone's hopes, but as soon as he came here, he found that there were too many people participating in the imperial examination, in addition to the real poor people like him, there were even many children of families, businessmen, farmers, and people from all walks of life who were not allowed to enter the court as officials before, of course, most of them were people from ordinary families, but he had hardly seen anyone poorer than himself.

Also in the capital, he saw Shen Qingshan's outstanding literary brilliance, and saw many students with some money in their families followed by many children, and the books they brought had to be pulled by ox carts.

I thought he had no hope, but he didn't expect that when the gold list came down, he actually hit the top ten, and he almost fainted with joy at that time, but he had only studied for nearly a year or two, and he didn't have a cultural heritage like Shen Qingshan, and he could only quote the allusions he knew to make up for the shortcomings at the time of the answer sheet, but if it was above the palace exam, under the gaze of His Royal Highness the Prince, he was afraid that he would instantly expose the fact that he didn't read much, and he was very afraid that the prince would cancel his grades and let him go home shamelessly to face his master and father.

When he finished answering stumblingly, he didn't expect that the prince would praise him for being amazing, and his first reaction was to suspect that he had heard it wrong, so he had to look at the prince in a daze.

Li Yunxing is evaluating realistically.

"In my opinion, you should have studied and learned calligraphy for a short time, but you can surpass most people and become the best among them, which is enough to show that you are a malleable talent, if you have the opportunity in the future, you should read more books, broaden your horizons, and you will be able to go further."

Du Yiwen nodded stunnedly, he was actually still not sure what the prince meant, after all, he couldn't believe that the prince knew that he hadn't read anything, and allowed him to enter the court as an official.

In this way, when it was finally settled, he knew that he had not only passed the TV, but also been arranged by the prince to be a bookkeeper in the library pavilion, and as soon as he heard the library pavilion, he remembered what the prince said, hoping that he would have the opportunity to read more, and then the prince created this opportunity for him.

Du Yiwen was grateful in his heart, and he was so excited that he couldn't wait to kowtow a few to the prince that day, so he could say that he was willing to be a compiler for the rest of his life.
