Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Eunuch Hu went to the Imperidal Advisor’s residence with a slightly excited and nervous mood.
After the servant informed the housekeeper, he led Eunuch Hu in.
After that, Eunuch Hu met Liang Chengcai.
After learning that Lin Xiaoyue had arrived at the posthouse, Liang Chengcai was very happy.
“Then what are we waiting for? I’ll go pick her up now!” After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Eunuch Hu’s expression changed slightly. He stopped when he saw Liang Cheng.
“No, I have to ask Master first.”
Liang Chengcai muttered and then hurriedly walked out.
“Young Master…” The housekeeper took two steps forward, wanting to stop
Liang Chengcai, but he realized that he had already left.
He could only helplessly put down his hand.
Then, he looked at Eunuch Hu in embarra.s.sment.
“Eunuch, please forgive me. Young Master is like this.”
Eunuch Hu waved his hand.
“It’s fine. It’s normal for Young Master Liang to be excited when he learns that an old friend has arrived.”
The housekeeper nodded.
“Then please wait a moment. 1 will go get him. Also, I’ll make arrangements for Madam Li.” He cupped his hands at Eunuch Hu.
“Please help yourself.” Eunuch Hu replied with a smile.
Then, Housekeeper Liu left.
On the other side, Liang Chengcai rushed out of the door and went to the Imperial Advisor Liu Wuji’s room.
On the way here, Liang Chengcai was still a little worried. His master had already fallen asleep.
However, when he saw that the lights in Liu Wuji’s room were still on, he instantly felt relieved.
Then, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and adjusted his mood before knocking on the door.
“Come in.” Liu Wuji’s voice quickly came from inside the door.
Liang Chengcai pushed the door open and closed it.
After walking into the room for a while, he saw his master reading in front of the desk.
On the table beside him, there was an exquisite jade pendant.
Liang Chengcai recognized this jade pendant.
About a month ago, his master suddenly brought it back.
He still remembered that when his master came back, he was in a very strange mood, as if he had lost his soul. When others called him, he seemed to not hear them.
After that, he would occasionally see his master staring at the jade pendant in a daze.
“What is it?” Liu Wuji did not put down his book and said lightly. He didn’t even look at Liang Chengcai.
Liang Cheng returned to his senses and bowed to Liu Wuji.
“Eunuch Hu came over just now and said that Madam Li has already arrived.
She’s now staying at the capital’s posthouse.”
Liu Wuji, who was reading a book, had a slight change in his expression and his movements paused.
However, he still did not put down the book, so no one could see his reaction.
Liang Chengcai carefully raised his head and glanced at Liu Wuji.
Then, he lowered his head again.
“There are many people in the posthouse. I wonder if Master could allow them to stay in the residence? It’s also good to prepare for the test the day after tomorrow.” Liang Chengcai paused for a moment.
Yes, the arithmetic compet.i.tion between the Great Yan and Chu Jin this time was related to the peace talks between the three countries, so the importance of the compet.i.tion was obvious.
Even though Madam Li was recommended by him, she was still asked to partic.i.p.ate in the math compet.i.tion the day after tomorrow.
Only by getting into the top three would they be qualified to represent the Great Yan and compete with Chu Jin.
Moreover, if he was not the leader, he could only become the support beside the leader.
His recommendation had allowed Madam Li, a woman, to come to the capital from Daishi Village.
After that, he would have to compete with the other Arithmetic Masters of the Great Yan and fight for the chance to represent the Great Yan to spar with Chu Jin.
This was a chance for Madam Li to make a name for herself. If Madam Li performed well, she could even be rewarded by the Emperor.
However, he had not obtained Madam Li’s consent to do all this.
He had only just found out that after he left Qingshi Town, Madam Li had married Young Master Li.
After that, she started a business and a workshop.
Moreover, her business was very big. She even had collaborations with the Liang Trading Company, the Zhou Trading Company, and even the Anyang Imperial Residence.
The current Madam Li was no longer the peasant girl who sold wild animals at the Ruyi Restaurant.
Even Prince Anyang would have to address her as Ms. Lin.
When he received his cousin’s letter, he realized that his recommendation might not be a help to her, but a trouble…
But now, no matter what, she was here.
He was the one who caused this, so he had to take good care of her. Otherwise, he would feel very guilty.
Liang Chengcai thought to himself. He thought that his master would not seriously consider this matter.
Who knew that his master had put down the book in his hand and was in deep thought.
“Letting a woman like her stay in the residence will damage her reputation..”
