Chapter 150
Ye Ximing saw Pu Xiuwen's temptation and sneered in his heart, but still had a calm look on his face.
"Brother Pu thinks too much. It's not Brother Pu who caused me to fall into the water. It's my own fault that I didn't go to school. How can I hold grudge against Brother Pu?"
After hearing what Ye Ximing said, Pu Xiuwen was completely relieved. It seemed that Ye Ximing really didn't know the truth behind the fall into the water.
That's good. He doesn't have to take the risk of confronting the other party. After all, Taifu Yao is now interested in Ye Ximing. If he does something and Taifu Yao discovers it, it will be difficult to explain.
Pu Xiuwen thought this way, stretched out his hand and patted Ye Ximing's shoulder, saying: "I know Brother Ye is not such a stingy person, so let's get together again if we have time in the future? Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen are still waiting for Shu Jishi's appointment. Take the exam? Call them after they finish the exam."
Ye Ximing did not refuse this time, he nodded and said: "Okay."
Pu Xiuwen felt better when he heard Ye Ximing agreed.
After knowing that he and Ye Ximing were classmates, He Shilang gave him the task of wooing Ye Ximing. If he could do this well, he would be able to show his face in front of Taifu Yao.
In the past, Pu Xiuwen was jealous that Ye Ximing was better than him, that he could surpass him and win the case that year, and that he could be recommended by Dean Meng to study in the government.
But after a few years passed, Pu Xiuwen was no longer the young and energetic person he used to be.
Now he is still jealous of Ye Ximing's talent, but what he is thinking about now is not how to trample Ye Ximing under his feet, but how to use Ye Ximing to pave the way for himself and benefit himself.
After the two of them finished talking, Ye Ximing changed his book and returned to his seat.
Xu Jin, who was sitting at the table next to Ye Ximing, saw Ye Ximing working so hard and couldn't help but said: "Brother Ye, we have finally finished the exam now, why are you still working so hard? Are you studying hard at home during this time?" "
Ye Ximing shook his head and said, "That's not true. I've been busy with my wife these days."
Xu Jin looked at Ye Ximing's expression when he mentioned his wife, and said with envy and jealousy: "The one beside Brother Ye at that lantern festival was my wife, right? Brother Ye and his wife have a really good relationship, unlike Brother Fei and I who are still alone now? "
Fei Nanxing shook his head when he heard this and said, "Brother Xu, you can speak for yourself, but don't take me with you."
He didn't want to be pushed by his master at home or criticized by his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy.
However, when Ye Ximing heard this, he put down the book in his hand with a smile and said with a look of approval: "My wife and I have a really good relationship. I owe everything to my wife for what I am now. If it weren't for my wife, I might have died a long time ago. Where would I be?" now."
"Oh?" Xu Jin became interested, "Brother Ye, can you tell me in detail?"
So Ye Ximing talked to Xu Jin in detail about what happened between him and Zhou Ran.
Xu Jin originally thought that Ye Ximing was a very cold person. After all, he rarely participated in various poetry gatherings before. Even if he went there once in a while, he didn't talk much, but he didn't expect that he would talk about his wife like this. ...so eloquent.
When Ye Ximing stopped talking, Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and swore that he would not be so curious next time.
By chance, Hanlin Bachelor accompanied Gao Shangshu to their room, and the two ended their conversation.
After entering the room, Gao Shangshu exchanged a few words with the three new imperial examination candidates, and finally called Ye Ximing out alone. After Ye Ximing followed Gao Shangshu to a deserted place, Gao Shangshu said: "Ye Ximing, I have read all your imperial examination papers. Your articles are well written. Not only are the words beautiful, but the content is also very admirable. The article, especially the article about increasing the revenue of the treasury, really touched my heart.”
Ye Ximing didn't know what Gao Shangshu meant by saying this to him. Hearing this, he said respectfully: "It is an honor for me to be praised by Lord Shangshu."
In fact, Ye Ximing himself does not have the kind of writing style that uses gorgeous words. Most of his usual articles are grand and simple, such as the policy essay he wrote during the palace examination. However, considering the examiner's preferences, he will write during the examination. That article used more gorgeous rhetoric.
Gao Shangshu looked at Ye Ximing and nodded. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and was calm when things happened, which was very good.
"How old is Ye Xiuzan this year?" Gao Shangshu asked.
Ye Ximing was stunned for a moment and replied: "Xiaguan is twenty-one this year."
"It matches the age of the little girl in my family." Gao Shangshu said meaningfully.
Ye Ximing's heart skipped a beat and he immediately said: "Master Shangshu is joking. I come from a rural background in Xiaguan. How can I be worthy of being the daughter of your family?"
Gao Shangshu shook his head and said: "Although you were born in a rural area, you have now become the number one scholar in high school. What I value is your talent and ability, not your family background. Do you understand?"
Ye Ximing didn't understand, why did Gao Shangshu take a fancy to him?
Fei Nanxing and Xu Jin are obviously the right candidates, right? He is already married, doesn’t Gao Shangshu know?
Ye Ximing took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for your wrong love. It's just that I already have a loving wife at home, so I might not be able to meet the daughter of your family."
Being rejected by Ye Ximing one after another, Gao Shangshu's face couldn't help but look ugly, but he still didn't give up and said: "Ye Ximing, have you thought clearly? It's not easy for you to reach this point, so don't lose your future because of the wrong choice. Totally destroyed.”
Ye Ximing said firmly: "Back to Master Shangshu, I have thought very clearly."
After hearing this, Gao Shangshu snorted with a dark face: "Okay, okay, very good, Ye Ximing, don't regret it in the future."
After speaking, Gao Shangshu flicked his sleeves, turned around and left with an angry look on his face.
After Ye Ximing returned to the room, Xu Jin had forgotten the oath he had just made in his heart, and couldn't help but curiously approached Ye Ximing and asked: "Brother Ye, what does Master Shangshu want from you?"
Xu Jin knew that his family wanted to marry Gao Shangshu, and he was disinterested in the matter. But judging from Gao Shangshu's attitude towards him just now, it seemed that he did not intend to marry his daughter to him.
Pu Xiuwen on the side heard Xu Jin's question and pricked up his ears to listen. He had some suspicion that Gao Shangshu also took a fancy to Ye Ximing and wanted to draw Ye Ximing to their party.
However, Gao Shangshu came in person, which he did not expect.
Ye Ximing definitely couldn't tell anyone else about such a thing. He shook his head at Xu Jin and said, "It's nothing."
Xu Jin saw that Ye Ximing didn't want to talk. Although he was curious, he didn't ask any more questions.
On the contrary, after Pu Xiuwen heard Ye Ximing's answer, he felt more and more that Gao Shangshu was here to win over Ye Ximing, and he must win Ye Ximing into their group as soon as possible.
Ye Ximing hid the fact that Gao Shangshu came to him from others, but he did not hide it from Zhou Ran.
