The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 263

[Chapter 263: Beauty’s Night Visit]

Lin Tian obviously didn’t know that he had fallen into another bigger conspiracy. He was still discussing the current situation in the court with Yang Sheng.

As expected, Yang Sheng was well-read. After a conversation, Lin Tian benefited a lot.

“Thank you for your teaching, Master. I’ll take my leave first!”

After Lin Tian stayed at Yang’s house for lunch, he saw that Yang Sheng looked a little tired, so he took his leave very tactfully.

“Go back and think about it carefully. The situation in the court is unpredictable now. You must be careful with every step.”

Yang Sheng also nodded. He is old now and his spirit is not as good as before.

Just one morning has made him a little tired, so he can only let Lin Tian go back first.

Lin’s house.

Lin Zuhua doesn’t have to go out now, so he stays in the study all day reading books, or practicing calligraphy, and sometimes practicing boxing and kung fu.

So if Lin Tian wants to find him, he only needs to go to the martial arts training ground in the backyard for a walk. If he is not there, he can only go to the study.

Sure enough, today, after he came back, he went directly to the study room, where Lin Zuhua was practicing calligraphy.

“But do you have any doubts?”

After all, he was still the son he raised himself. When Lin Tian pushed the door open, Lin Zuhua looked up at him.

“Father is indeed a wise man!”

Lin Tian smiled with the corners of his lips, but his expression was a little tired.

He has now been involved in the court disputes without knowing it, and the original desire to become the richest man in the world seems to be getting farther and farther away from him.

But Lin Tian unexpectedly discovered that although he was tired of the court disputes, he did not hate them.

Being able to protect Da Chu is also an achievement for him.

“Don’t be so talkative, tell me, what difficulties have you encountered?”

Lin Zuhua put down the brush, asked the old man beside him to help him pack up all the things, and made tea and put it on the table.

“Now that my child has been appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Works, I am afraid that I will be involved in the court disputes in the future.”

Lin Tian said his current situation without changing his face.

He originally just wanted to help out, but he didn’t expect the emperor to wave his hand and give him an official position.

Now the name Lin Tian has caught the eyes of those old foxes. If he keeps a low profile, he might be treated as a soft persimmon.

“What do you think?”

Lin Zuhua raised his eyebrows. Compared with the current situation, he was more concerned about what Lin Tian thought.

If Lin Tian didn’t want to enter the official career, then he could just find a reason.

After all, Lin Tian didn’t have any fame, and this official position was not legitimate.

If Lin Tian proposed to abdicate, the emperor would naturally have no reason not to agree.

“Although the whole world belongs to the king, this land is also the homeland for you and me to survive. If the Great Chu is in turmoil, how can the eggs be intact when the nest is destroyed?”

Lin Tian slowly said what he thought.

He drank a sip of tea calmly and suppressed his thoughts.

He had thought about the current situation at the beginning, but he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, which caught him off guard.

Sure enough, the emperor is the emperor after all. To guess the emperor’s mind, it requires a certain level.

“Yes, I am very pleased that you have such an idea! But to enter the official career, you must take the imperial examination.”

Lin Zuhua said, he knew that Lin Tian had the intention to take the imperial examination.

But if he could not get a good ranking in the imperial examination, it would make no difference whether he took the imperial examination or not, after all, he was now the Minister of Works.

“Of course I have to take the imperial examination. Now there is not much time left before the palace examination. What can father do?”

Lin Tian frowned and said, this was also what he was worried about. If

he wanted to take the imperial examination, he had to go through the provincial examination, the imperial examination and the palace examination to be selected layer by layer, but the time for the provincial examination and the imperial examination had long passed.

If he wanted to start from the grassroots, he had to wait for another cycle.

The current situation in the court did not allow him to wait like this!

“So Tian’er is worried about this! Don’t worry about it. With Master Yang here, you just need to review your lessons and take part in the palace examination later.”

Lin Zuhua said with a smile.

As the chief minister, Yang Sheng must have a lot of weight in the Imperial College.

After all, in addition to being the Prime Minister, Yang Sheng is also the teacher of the current emperor, that is, the imperial teacher! With

his status, it is naturally easy to squeeze someone in for the palace examination.

However, this also requires assessment, and of course Lin Zuhua is not worried about Lin Tian’s ability.

After all, Lin Tian is recognized by Yang Sheng!

“So it’s that simple!”

After listening to Lin Zuhua’s words, Lin Tian also smiled slightly and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Unexpectedly, the thing that troubled him for so long was just a matter of words for Lin Zuhua.

Because this body didn’t care much about the imperial examination before, it can be said that it has no memory of the imperial examination at all.

Lin Tian had not deliberately tried to understand it, or he simply had no time to understand it.

“Since you have decided, then work hard to do it. Your father will always support you!”

Lin Zuhua stood up and patted Lin Tian’s shoulder heavily.

He used nearly 70% of his strength to pat Lin Tian’s shoulder with such great strength, but Lin Tian did not even move.

His expression did not change at all.

“The child will definitely not let his father down!”

Lin Tian bowed to Lin Zuhua and saluted.

Then he looked up, and the father and son’s eyes met and smiled at each other.

The two chatted about something else in the study, and then Lin Tian returned to his room.

Calculating the time, there were only a few days left before the palace examination, and now the weather was about to enter autumn.

Before, he had wasted a lot of time because of the Ningjiang City incident, so now he had to hurry up to review his lessons.

That night, Lin Tian held the book in one hand and thought about it.

This knowledge had long been imprinted in his mind, and now reading it again was just to consolidate it.

“Master, you have been reading all night, have some lotus seed soup.”

Just when Lin Tian was in a daze, the door outside was pushed open by Gu Maner.

A fragrant breeze blew, and Gu Maner walked towards Lin Tian gracefully with a bowl of lotus seed soup.

“Maner? Why are you here?”

Lin Tian put down the book and turned to look at her.

Gu Maner had obviously just taken a shower, and her body was still a little damp, accompanied by a faint floral scent.

It is said that beauty is alluring. Lin Tian had been reading for most of the day, and suddenly seeing a beauty standing in front of him, he was even more refreshed.

As for reading?

He had already thrown the book in his hand aside. How could he waste such a good time?

“This lotus seed soup is good.”

Lin Tian scooped a mouthful and put it into his mouth, squinting his eyes and praising, obviously enjoying it very much.
