Madam, protect me!

After listening to a few pieces of music at Yuyin Pavilion, Zheng Zhi and his friends returned to the inn where they were staying.

The musicians at Yuyin Pavilion need to improve their piano skills, but their arrangement is pretty good.

It happened that several friends also arrived in Chang'an. He came to Chang'an first and was familiar with the place, so he took them around.

After returning to the inn, Zheng Zhi closed the door and began to practice calligraphy.

Because of his magical memory, he can save a lot of memorization compared to ordinary students and has time to focus on his weak subjects.

His imperial and archery subjects are not strong, but they are enough to pass the imperial examination. Etiquette and arithmetic are his strengths. Music subjects are not bad either. In calligraphy, calligraphy and painting are a little weak, but he can make up for it through laws and articles. .

He was determined to win this imperial examination.

Zheng Zhi's dream is to enter the censorship and become a censor who has the courage to give direct advice.

His grandfather was once a censor. Influenced by his grandfather, Zheng Zhi set his ambition to become a censor since he was a child.

Today's Daxia seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is troubled internally and externally.

There are many enemies on the outside, but on the inside, His Majesty is stupid and treacherous, and the government is in chaos.

In the court, we need upright ministers like him who dare to tell the truth and love to tell the truth.

Bang, bang, bang!

Before Zheng Zhi finished writing a post, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Several of his friends would not be so rude.

Could it be that brother came to him for tea?

Zheng Zhi walked to the door of the room and opened it. He did not see the kind brother, but saw several police officers with knives.

The leading detective asked: "Is your name Zheng Zhi?"

Zheng Zhi didn't like these predators who bullied others and preyed on the common people, so he said rudely: "It's me, what's wrong?"

"Take it."

The police officer gave the order, and Zheng Zhi was held down on the shoulders from left to right.

The noise at the door disturbed the other guests.

Three more figures walked out of the rooms on both sides. Seeing this scene, a young man's expression changed and he asked: "Why are you arresting people!"

The policeman snorted coldly and said: "The Chang'an County Government received a report that this person has openly insulted His Majesty many times, slandered the imperial officials, and committed the crime of gross disrespect. Is it wrong to arrest him?"

When the three young people heard this, not only were they not afraid, but they actively stepped forward and puffed up their chests.

"I scolded you too, please take me away too!"

"Your Majesty is lazy in government affairs, why can't you say that?"

"Li Xuanjing holds the power of the sky with one hand and controls the government. He fights for the same party and opposes those who are different. All officials are afraid of him. What kind of slander is this?"

"You can arrest us, but can you stop the mouths of everyone in the world?"

The policeman looked at them, sneered, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I don't know whether it was true or not before, but this time you insulted His Majesty and slandered important ministers, I heard it with my own ears..."

These little calves, after studying for a few years, don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.

This is Chang'an, not their backcountry.

You can't talk nonsense in Chang'an.

If these words were heard by the guards or people from the Mirror Division, no matter how many heads they had, they wouldn't be able to chop them off.

He waved his hand and said, "Take them all away for me!"

…

The streets of Chang'an.

Li Nuo held a vase of flowers in his left hand and held his wife in his right hand.

Along the way, Song Jiaren was silent.

He didn't know if mentioning his mother-in-law affected her.

After all, it was because of herself that the wife could not stay with her mother. Li Nuo didn't know how much grudge she had in her heart about this matter.

If the two become a real couple in the future, this will be an unavoidable problem anyway.

Li Nuo was silent for a moment and then said, "Madam."

Song Jiaren whispered: "Huh?"

Li Nuo asked straightforwardly: "Are you blaming me for my mother-in-law's matter?"

Song Jiaren turned to look at him, shook her head and said, "No."

In fact, she had been weird before.

And it’s been weird for a long time.

When she was a child, those people called her a motherless child, and she would also wonder why everyone else had a father and a mother, but she only had a father and no mother.

Later, she learned from her family that it was because of her marriage that her mother broke up with her father and ran away from home. Naturally, she hated the stupid husband she had never met.

However, as she grew up, she got used to it and knew that a newly born child should not be blamed for this incident.

Now, of course, she couldn't blame him.

Li Nuo looked at her and said, "You lied. You hesitated just now, but you still blame me."

Song Jiaren was slightly startled and said again: "I don't."

If she really blamed him, why would she let him hold hands, sleep in the same bed with him, cover herself with the same quilt, allow him to teach her how to play the piano, and even pretended not to know that he was a master of archery even though she knew he was very good at it...

Li Nuo thought for a while and said, "I don't believe it, unless..."

Song Jiaren asked: "Unless what?"

Li Nuo whispered in her ear.

Song Jiaren's face turned red, she let go of his hand and walked away quickly.

Li Anning is easy to coax, and the lady is easy to deceive.

She is more innocent than Li Anning.

It should have been Li Nuo's fault, but with just a few words, he could turn passivity into initiative.

Li Nuo sighed in his heart.

It is really not easy to take the initiative to get a kiss from a lady.

She was always reserved and shy.

I don’t know where my mother-in-law’s initiative and generosity have been inherited...

Li Nuo returned to the Song Mansion and took a look at the code. Zheng Zhi's portrait had already appeared on the code.

Portraits of his three friends were next to him.

The difference is that Zheng Zhi's portrait is bright, while the three others are dim.

In fact, Li Nuo was not completely sure whether Zheng Zhi's portrait could be lit up this time.

He didn't know whether insulting His Majesty and criticizing the imperial officials were crimes recognized by the law. Anyway, there were provisions in the Daxia Code. Judging from the results, they all broke the law to some extent.

If that doesn't work, all you can do is have people stare at him and wait for him to spit on the street before taking action.

Li Nuo put the vase of flowers on the table and moved a lot of books.

These are all classics involved in the imperial examination syllabus.

Li Nuo randomly found a book, opened a page, glanced at it, closed his eyes, and most of the content of this page actively appeared in his mind.

After just a cursory glance, he remembered more than 60% of the content.

Li Nuo opened his eyes and read it carefully in his mind.

When he closed his eyes again, he could completely retell the contents of this page in his mind.

There is really no shortage of geniuses in this world.

There are actually people who can achieve photographic memory.

Li Nuo sighed with emotion and flipped through the pages of the book.

He was not Zheng Zhi, so he had to seize this day and go through all the things that needed to be memorized for the imperial examination, so as not to waste his life again.

A set of footsteps walked in from outside the door.

Song Zhe held a pile of thick books in his arms and saw Li Nuo reading. It was the "Sixteen Classics" of Confucianism, which is one of the must-read articles in calligraphy.

He stepped forward and asked, "How do you feel about reading the Sixteenth Sutra?"

Li Nuo said: "I just started watching."

Song Zhe was stunned: "Just started watching?"

It's one month away from the Spring Examination and two months away from the Imperial Examination, and he has just started reading the Sixteen Classics?

How will he write the article then?

He looked at Li Nuo flipping through the pages of the book and asked, "That's how you see it?"

Li Nuo nodded and said, "Yes."

Song Zhe asked: "Can you remember it if you look at it this way?"

Li Nuo said: "I can probably remember 80% to 90% of it."

Song Zhe glanced at the book in Li Nuo's hand and asked: "Only the most sincere people in the world can fulfill their nature; if they can fulfill their nature, they can fulfill their human nature... What is behind this sentence?"

Li Nuo thought for a while and said: "If you can fulfill the nature of human beings, you can fulfill the nature of things; if you can fulfill the nature of things, you can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth; if you can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth, you can participate with heaven and earth."

Song Zhe looked shocked: "You have just started watching it. Do you have a photographic memory like your father?"

Li Nuo was slightly startled: "My father also has a photographic memory?"

Song Zhe noticed that he said the word "ye".

Sure enough.

As expected of a biological father and son, ordinary people have to work ten times or even a hundred times harder to do what they can easily do.

Fortunately, he had grown accustomed to the strangeness. He put down the thick stack of books in his arms and said, "These are the books I used back then. There are many notes and annotations on them. If you have time, you can take a look."

Li Nuo said: "Thank you, father-in-law."

In fact, these books are not very precious, but the annotations of the third place in the imperial examination can save him a lot of detours.

Song Zhe glanced at him, turned and left.

Li Nuo opened the book he sent, and sure enough he saw that all the blank spaces on the pages were densely packed with annotations.

If you can read these books and articles, there will basically be no problem.

The time for photographic memory is limited, and Li Nuo did not want to waste his life by sitting at the table and reading.

Song Jiaren sat opposite her, reading Fenghuang's notes on flower arrangements.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Nuo looked up and saw that everything was dark outside. He didn't know what time it was. He looked at Song Jiaren and said, "If you are sleepy, Madam, please go to sleep first..."

Song Jiaren did not raise her eyes, but said softly: "It's okay, I'll wait for you."

Li Nuo looked at it for more than a quarter of an hour. He didn't want to interfere with his wife's rest, so he closed the book and said, "It's getting late, let's rest."

Song Jiaren nodded and walked to the bed.

Li Nuo usually slept inside, so he went to bed first and sat on the bedside inside.

The quilt was a little cold, so he planned to sit down and warm it up first.

At a certain moment, just as he was about to sleep, a cold and soft feeling suddenly came from one cheek.

Instantly separate.

Her movements were very fast, bringing a burst of fragrant wind to her face.

Li Nuo was slightly startled.

Although the kiss this time was on the face rather than the mouth, it was not an accident, but a kiss on her own initiative.

He turned around and saw that the lights in the room suddenly went out, and he couldn't see the lady's expression clearly.

Song Jiaren had already gotten into the quilt, turned her back to Li Nuo, and whispered: "I really don't blame you, you should believe it now, right?"

Li Nuo thought for a while and said, "I don't believe it, unless you kiss me again..."
