It was already late at night, but there were still no boatmen. The four of them understood that it was better to rely on others than themselves.
Thus, Chu Jingli said, "Tomorrow, we will cross the river by boat."
Matching men and women, not tiring at all.
The river was cold at night, and they made a fire and ate the dry food they carried with them.
"Young Master, why do you think the emperor would come to such a remote place?" Is our search for him in the wrong direction? "
Besides, could it be that the Emperor is the same as them, building ships and crossing rivers? But he was a person after all. It was too time-consuming.
Chu Jingli lightly opened his mouth, "This is the only clue we have right now. We can only follow it up. Whether we can find it or not, we have to go all out."
There was a saying that the Heavens did not disappoint those who wanted to. After hard work, there would be a reward.
"Young Master, Xuan Yue has chosen you as a great general, what a fortunate thing." Ru Ying couldn't help but praise her young master. She said that her young master had everything, including good looks, a good family background, a high position and loyalty. No wonder his young mistress would marry him even if she were to die.
"Alright, hurry up and go to sleep." Chu Jingli let his wife's head rest on his shoulder and peacefully fell asleep.
The next morning, the two women were awakened by a delicacy.
Since they were very close to the river, Chu Jingli and his shadow were able to pick materials on the spot. With their precise positioning, they used the swords in their hands to insert fish into the water.
In the end, a few fish of neither size nor size contributed their own flesh to the human food.
"This fish is so fragrant!" Although there was no extra seasoning, it was still a blessing to be able to eat meat.
"If you like it, then eat more." Suyuan did not dare to mistreat his only cousin. Thus, he brought the four roasted fish on the wooden stick in front of her.
"How could I eat so much? Let's just give it to Madam."
So she gave two to Wang Jing Rou. This big family was quite happy.
After eating and drinking until she was full, she started to work. Wang Jing Rou used to be a lady and had never done these before, but now was a chance to study, so she started working with them as an assistant.
In the afternoon, a simple boat was finally ready. What else could he do? Are they still planning to go up there to carve flowers or what? They're not that particular.
As the river was not too wide, he estimated that they could cross it before the sun set. Therefore, he did not need to wait until tomorrow.
However, the sky was unpredictable. Just as the boat reached the river, a huge wave came over it. This boat … He flipped it over as soon as he said it.
This was a boat of friendship.
Imperial Capital, Imperial Advisor's Estate.
"Princess, Lin Mu requests an audience." The servant girl whispered to Qi He.
Wei He's eyes rolled slightly as he understood that the man was probably here to ask about his position as an official.
Forget it, after dodging the first fifteen, what should come will come sooner or later. It's better to tell him the truth.
"Let him in."
Not long after, Lin Mu Gan appeared in front of her and knelt down, bowing. "This commoner pays his respects to the princess."
Qi He didn't hurry to help him get back on his feet, but said with a slightly regretful tone, "I'm very sorry, but I really can't help you with your matters."
He could not be blamed on the imperial government for not being able to receive a high priority. It was because his ideas were unrealistic. Even if he made an exception and became an official, it would be of no use to both the commoners and himself.
"Princess, you must have never read this commoner's essay. This commoner now has an essay on you, please take a look. After reading it, you will definitely change your mind."
He didn't believe it. His wife had been accompanying him in silence for so long after ten years of studying hard. The Heavens had treated him like this, not even giving him a chance to show off his ancestors.
If he were to return just like that, how would he have the face to meet those close relatives? When he first came to the capital, he had made a solemn pledge that he would return home in glory.
Wei He shook his head. "No need. I've read your essay and there's no logic to it."
"No logic?" Lin Mu Gan's eyes were red and swollen, "This is just an excuse that you nobles reject as a commoner, right? You don't know anything at all, you don't even deserve to recognize the words in the Book of Virtue! "
A thousand li horse was a common occurrence, but Bo Le was not a common occurrence. Was he, a thousand li horse, really unable to see Bo Le?
"You!" How could Qi He not be angry after being humiliated by a man like that? However, taking into account that his wish had come to nothing, he was just spouting nonsense in a fit of anger, so he didn't blame him too much.
Lin Mu Gan stood up and took out a piece of paper. He unfolded it, and on it was an essay that he was most proud of.
"You guys didn't even look at me. You deny a person like that and you actually use your flying horses to lie to me? Is my mind really that unrealistic? It's obvious that you are stubborn and unyielding. If this world has no fresh ideas to irrigate, then you can only become more and more rotten and not improve. Of course, this is a good thing for you guys, because the power of you royal relatives will be deeply rooted and unshakable. "
He was still too naive, hoping that Wei He could help him. Who was Wei He? She was a princess, so how could she help a commoner like herself? Moreover, as a woman, what could she possibly know? She believed what others said, and she was born to lose the opportunity to be judged fairly by her.
Qi He walked in front of him and said seriously, "Lin Mu Gan, you should wake up. If someone says you're wrong, then you're probably right. But everyone says you're wrong, so you should reflect on whether there's a problem and not just push the blame onto someone else."
She understood his pleading, but that was different from giving him the office. She had to abide by the principle of privacy.
In the past, she had been too disrespectful and caused herself to be riddled with injuries. After experiencing such pain, she should have grown up and transformed.
Although it was a bit late, it was better than continuing to be injured.
Lin Mu Gan's words and attitude were a bit extreme, "I'm not wrong! The one at fault is you! Have you heard the story of the three of them becoming tigers? "
Some things were just like this, spreading like wildfire. Rumors would spread like wildfire, and the fakes would become the real thing.
It was possible that there was someone who did not think highly of his literary prowess, and then passed this thought on to the others. The others all agreed with him, so it turned into someone who did not think highly of him.
Above the imperial court, there were countless examples of blindly following the wind, but they just happened to be victims.
He stubbornly believed that he had not been given a fair chance.
"This has nothing to do with the three of them becoming tigers. You must believe that gold will always shine. Unless you are not gold, how can you be buried? Besides, if you look at the articles written by the top scholar, that's a really good, really useful piece of work. " The man in front of him must be delusional. He always felt that the whole world treated him badly, but he never dared to confront the problem with himself.
