Chapter 2523 The Young Emperor! (Seeking monthly tickets at the end of the month)

Madam Li looked at her daughters, thinking constantly in her mind.

Seeing that the young master of the Fan family keeps a close eye on his second daughter, the second daughter's marriage is settled. The Fan family is still a famous big businessman in the capital, so the other daughters should not be able to marry too low.

Young Master Wang and Young Master Ouyang have not passed the imperial examination yet, but they are very good at studying and are generally from aristocratic families. It is indeed a step above their station for them to marry such people.

Moreover, except for the third daughter, the remaining two daughters are still young, so she is not too anxious.

In fact, Madam Li would rather marry her eldest daughter to Wang Yue or Ouyang Xiu, so that later daughters could marry higher-ranking officials.

Besides, there are always a lot of gossips around a widow, and Wang Yue took the initiative to get close to her, so no one can be blamed.

But the eldest daughter has lived in Shuangju for three years after all, and I don’t know whether Young Master Wang or Young Master Ouyang will dislike her?

Just when the eldest lady of the Li family was thinking this, Li Leshan didn't know what her mother was thinking. She thought of her own plan and took the initiative to say, "Mom, you don't know that Mr. Wang is very strong in martial arts. The martial arts of Miss Zhao, whom I just met, are already high enough, but she is not his opponent.

Mom, why don’t you help me and let me become his disciple? I want to learn martial arts from him.

As long as I can learn a few tricks from Prince Wang, I will be able to protect my sisters in the future."

When she said this, she waved her fist, obviously wanting to say that if her brothers-in-law were not obedient in the future, she would take action.

After hearing this, Wu Niangzi's three sisters thought of their own sister, who was so ferocious in attacking those people in the tribe in order to protect their own land. They also realized that their sister was not joking, and they couldn't help laughing, saying that their love for this sister was not in vain.

However, Li Shouhua saw what her mother was thinking, but she remembered that her ex-husband had asked her to marry someone who was more talented and virtuous than him before he died.

Therefore, Li Shouhua was so moved that she actually didn't want to remarry. After all, even if her ex-husband's talent and knowledge could surpass his, her character and the way she treated him well might not be as good as his.

However, if her mother asked her to marry Wang Yue, she would agree. But if she did so, she would probably feel a little regretful.

So, in order to stop her mother from saying that, Li Shouhua said abruptly after she finished laughing, "Mom, why don't we fulfill Xiaowu's dream and let her become my disciple?"

After hearing this, Madam Li's attention was diverted.

After all, it was very difficult for the daughter of a small merchant to marry a scholar.

Unless they meet poor scholars who need financial support, they will marry the daughter of a merchant.

However, if they marry under such circumstances, the future of the daughters of merchant families will generally not be particularly good, after all, their status will become a burden to their daughters.

Therefore, although Madam Li also wanted her daughter to marry Wang Yue or Ouyang Xiu, she knew in her heart that it would be difficult to succeed unless it was a big and innocent matter.

But if you want to become someone's apprentice, it won't be that troublesome. You just need to pay enough money.

So Madam Li asked uncertainly, "Shouhua, do you want Xiaowu to become your disciple? But will he be willing to accept you? I heard that if you are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, you have to pay a lot of money to become a martial arts disciple."

Li Shouhua knew her family's situation and could not afford to pay so much money, so she smiled and said, "Although this young master Wang is very talented, I heard from the servants that when he was chatting with Young Master Ouyang, he once said that he could take the imperial examination as a student from Luoyang.

But he doesn't seem to have a household registration here, so he needs to buy one. But if he does, it will be very difficult. After all, if he is found out, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor."

After hearing this, Madam Li immediately understood what was going on, and she smiled and said, "You mean that Prince Wang himself would definitely not want to forge things, and those scholars would also be ashamed to forge things, but for ordinary people like us, it is indeed possible.

After all, buying and selling household registration is possible as long as money is paid.

As long as we can help this prince to make a perfect household registration, will he be willing to teach our Xiaowu?"

Seeing that her mother had already begun to calculate the pros and cons of becoming her apprentice, Li Shouhua heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Yes, this kind of thing is easy. As long as you have money, it's all right."

She was not joking, because there were many poor scholars who had no chance of studying because of their family’s poverty.

If you give them money and ask them to add a name to their tribe, it would be very easy.

Moreover, marrying a scholar would be a glory to their family in the future.

After hearing this, Madam Li smiled and said, "I remember that in Lihua Village where our Lihua Villa is located, there is a teacher named Wang. It seems that he lost his wife in his early years and his son in his later years. Now he is all alone. It seems that it would be a good deed for us to recommend someone to inherit his family's incense."

After hearing this, Li Shouhua was a little surprised and said, "Mom, this is probably not appropriate. Although Mr. Wang has some talent, he is too stubborn. I am afraid that doing this will offend Mr. Wang, right?"

Madam Li sighed and said helplessly, "The prince you mentioned is very talented and will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future.

If an ordinary person had a fake identity, there would be no problem. But if this prince had passed the imperial examination, then his fake identity would probably not be concealed.

Who could be more suitable than Old Man Wang? After all, he is the only one left in their clan.

Old Wang received favors from our family in the past, so he will definitely not betray us. No matter who investigates in the future, Old Wang will definitely say that this is his distant nephew, who has no relatives now and has come to this place for help. This way, no trace will be left out."

After hearing this, Li Shouhua did not refute. Anyway, he would take the household registration to find Wang Yue. Whether Wang Yue was willing to accept it or not was Wang Yue's own business.

……

Wang Yue had no idea of ​​the Li family's plan. He had just finished teaching his apprentice when someone came to visit him. It was Ouyang Xiu, who was being plotted against by the Li family.

As soon as Ouyang Xiu saw Wang Yue, he said apologetically, "Brother Wang, I have already told the governor about this. He said he needs to think about it. He has his concerns in the future, and I don't want to embarrass him."

Wang Yue didn't expect that Ouyang Xiu didn't get the job done. He was speechless. It seemed that he had to find another way.

He didn't seem to care, so he smiled and said, "This is just a small matter, Brother Ouyang, there's no need to be so polite."

Ouyang Xiu observed Wang Yue's expression and found that Wang Yue was really not angry. He smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I'm going to go around. I wonder if you are willing to go with me."

When Wang Yue heard this, he thought it was possible, so he smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not possible today. Tomorrow, no matter where Brother Ouyang goes, I will go with you." Seeing Wang Yue say this, Ouyang Xiu said regretfully, "I was originally thinking of going to the White Horse Temple with Brother Wang. In this case, I will go alone today, and we will go out together tomorrow."

Wang Yue agreed with a smile, while Ouyang Xiu Shihao left without staying. Judging from his appearance, the invitation was probably just something he said casually.

He did not take Ouyang Xiu's request seriously, but he did not expect that the next day, Ouyang Xiu really came to invite him and also prepared a horse for Wang Yue. It was obvious that he was going farther this time.

As soon as he saw Wang Yue, he smiled and said, "I borrowed a few horses from the resident. If you don't mind, we can ride. We will go a long way today."

Wang Yue did not refuse, but asked Ouyang Xiu to wait for a while. He went to ask Zhao Jian, and after learning that Zhao Jian did not want to travel together, he instructed Zhao Jian about his next training and followed Ouyang Xiu directly.

It's no wonder that if Ouyang Xiu were put into modern times, he would be a travel expert who would go wherever there are remote places or where there are strange peaks and scenery.

In just a few days, Wang Yue followed Ouyang Xiu and browsed through the Song Dynasty version of all the beautiful scenery that was developed and built in later generations.

After all, he had traveled through so many worlds and was knowledgeable, which made Ouyang Xiu admire him very much, so he would look for Wang Yue every time he went out to play.

On this day, when Wang Yue and Ouyang Xiu were preparing to go to Songshan, they unexpectedly saw a group of people slowly approaching them at a pavilion.

This group of people seemed to be very powerful, which made Ouyang Xiu want to get up and leave.

But Wang Yue knew that it would be bad for them to avoid him, so he whispered, "These people must be officials. We will serve as officials in the court sooner or later. If we run away, we will become a laughing stock."

Ouyang Xiu was also a very proud person. After hearing Wang Yue's reminder, he continued to sit there and watch the group of people slowly approaching.

The group was about ten steps away from the pavilion. There were two strong men who were originally planning to come towards the pavilion, but the young man in the lead said something and the group automatically dispersed.

The young man came over accompanied by an attendant, and Wang Yue and Ouyang Xiu also stood up and saluted.

The young man smiled and said, "My last name is Zhao, and I am the sixth child in my family. I wonder what your names are and why you are here?"

"Wang Yue, courtesy name Changwen, nice to meet Zhao Liulang!"

"Ouyang Xiu, courtesy name Yongshu, greets Zhao Liulang!"

Zhao Liulang was completely relieved after hearing the introductions of the two men. He said very politely, "Hello, brothers. This is the first time I've heard of Brother Wang's name, but I've heard of Brother Ouyang's name a long time ago."

After hearing what Zhao Liulang said, Ouyang Xiu said with some shame, "It's a pity that I failed the imperial examination twice. I don't know if I can pass the next time."

Zhao Liulang smiled and said, "Brother Ouyang is so knowledgeable, he will definitely be the top scholar next time."

Ouyang Xiu shook his head and said helplessly, "I missed the best chance to win the first place! Because my brother will definitely take part in the next exam, and I am ashamed of his knowledge."

After hearing this, Zhao Liulang looked at Wang Yue in surprise and said, "Oh? I didn't expect that Brother Wang would be so admired by Brother Ouyang. Actually, I just happen to have some time. I wonder if I can ask for your advice?"

Wang Yue smiled and said, "I don't deserve your advice, but we can still chat with each other."

Seeing Wang Yue so confident, Zhao Liulang immediately began to test him. As a result, no matter what he asked, Wang Yue was able to answer with ease.

Zhao Liulang was somewhat astonished. He did not expect that although he did not achieve his goal this time, he met a great talent instead.

Zhao Liulang was in a good mood, so he stopped questioning and started chatting happily with the two of them.

As the three of them chatted, Ouyang Xiu asked casually, "Liu Lang, from your accent you sound like you are from Tokyo. What are you doing in Luoyang?"

The smile on Zhao Liulang's face faded a little, and then he said helplessly, "I wanted to see a relative, but unfortunately I didn't see him."

When Ouyang Xiu heard this, he quickly said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't expect to touch upon Liu Lang's sorrow."

Zhao Liulang smiled and asked, "It's okay, I have a question for you."

Wang Yue and Ouyang Xiu both felt that there might be something wrong here. They looked at each other and knew that since the other party had asked, it would be inconvenient to hide. Then they asked almost at the same time, "Liu Lang, please speak."

"Liu Lang, please speak!"

Zhao Liulang sighed and said, "My father arranged for me to be raised by my stepmother since I was a child, and I only recently heard about the existence of such a biological mother.

You tell me, should I go meet this mother?"

When Wang Yue heard this, he immediately understood who this Zhao Liulang was. He was probably the legendary Renzong.

He was still thinking about how to answer, but Ouyang Xiu said frankly, "Of course I need to meet him. After all, the grace of giving birth and raising him is very important."

Zhao Liulang thought so too, but seeing that Wang Yue was still silent, he turned to Wang Yue and asked, "What does Wang Xiong think?"

Wang Yue didn't expect Zhao Liulang to want to ask for his opinion, so he smiled and said, "Actually, I think that since this is what your father wants, your stepmother is not at fault.

So, you can go see your biological mother, but you need to ask your stepmother's opinion, after all, your stepmother now only represents herself and your father."

When Zhao Liulang heard this, he began to think about it.

His father could have clearly supported his mother to ascend to that position, but he chose the empress dowager instead. Perhaps his father also had his own ideas.

Zhao Liulang understood that if he continued to insist on seeing his biological mother, it would be disadvantageous to him.

His mind suddenly became clear, and he bowed to Wang Yue and the other man and said, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. I am grateful for your teaching."

Wang Yue and Ouyang Xiu hurriedly exchanged some polite words, then chatted with Zhao Liulang for a while before Zhao Liulang hurriedly said goodbye and left.
