Chapter 303: From obscurity to fame... this is quite interesting!
Qin Yue had no idea that the three countries’ conspiracy plans were completely exposed because of her and the system, causing the royal families and courts of the three countries to fall into panic.
She is sleeping soundly at the moment.
The next morning, it was the last working day of the week, and the workers started a new day of work (eating melons).
Fu Lan'er was arrested by Minister Lin yesterday and was interrogated along with the admissions teacher of the private school.
This incident caused an uproar in the private school. No one expected that Fu Lan'er, who looked weak and gentle in daily life, would actually pretend to be a woman to seduce people.
But who did Fu Lan'er seduce? Could it be the admissions officer?
The instructors and teachers at the private school only knew that Fu Lan'er pretended to be a woman to deceive people, but they didn't know who the deceived person was.
This was what Minister Lin did on purpose. After all, the two children of Minister Zhou have not yet started their own families and careers. If others knew about this scandal, it would be detrimental to the children's future development.
Those who need to be protected must be protected. The two children are victims and they should not be criticized by the public anymore.
Minister Zhou even went to Minister Lin's house to express his gratitude for this, and his impression of Minister Lin changed greatly.
In the past, people thought that Minister Lin was as straightforward as his name. But after hearing about Minister Lin, people’s views on him changed a little. Although he was blunt, he had a kind heart.
And this time, Minister Zhou truly felt the goodness of Minister Lin.
Minister Zhou secretly made up his mind: No matter how blunt and harsh Minister Lin's words were from now on, he would tolerate it! He must tolerate it!
At that moment, all the court officials once again passed the "security check" of Wei Shangshu's eyes and successfully entered the Golden Palace. As they walked, they were still wondering whose turn it was to eat the melon today...
Everyone began to discuss state affairs very consciously, and they had become accustomed to waiting for the little official to wake up before eating melons.
When Qin Yue woke up, she habitually picked up the bottle, took a few gulps of milk, and then started drinking.
[Sister, what kind of melon are you going to eat today? ]
The court officials who had never been exposed to the gossip began to feel nervous and expectant again.
I'm afraid it will be my turn, but I also want to eat other people's melons. It's so confusing and exciting!
System: [Host, let me take a look~]
The courtiers who had eaten the melons had their mouths curled up slightly. Hey, come on! Big melons!
Qin Yue: [Okay! Let’s see which adult has an accident at home today…]
After a while, the system voice sounded again, and the nervousness and anticipation of everyone in the hall reached its peak.
[From being unknown to being well-known... this is quite interesting! ]
Qin Yue was confused when he heard this.
[Sister, what are you talking about? How can eating a melon go from being unknown to being a big deal? ]
Emperor Yuan of Jin had already made his own moves to eat melons, but he ended up hearing such a confusing remark from his sister.
The court officials in the hall were also confused.
From obscurity to fame? Are you talking about a certain official?
But which official in this palace did not work his way up from the bottom?
Ten years of hard study is not just an empty phrase, but their true feelings, from the warmth of spring and the heat of summer to the coolness of autumn and the coldness of winter, from hanging from the beams and piercing their legs with a needle to drilling holes in the wall to steal light...
Officials who come from poor families understand this very well. Their entire family tightens their belts just to give them a chance to pass the imperial examination one day.
Isn't Lord Meng a typical example of a person from a poor family? He is used to enduring hardships and didn't notice anything unusual when his stepmother treated him harshly.
Of course, there are also people with high academic talent, but it is undeniable that they are still unknown before they achieve results.
Therefore, everyone in the hall is really confused about who the old sister is talking about... It feels like it could be anyone...
The courtiers who had been eaten by melons: No! Not everyone is possible, for example, they... hehe...
Put your hands in your pockets, wait for the melon to eat...
Emperor Yuan of Jin adjusted the position of his buttocks, listened to the reports from court officials, and stroked his chin. This melon seemed to sound quite inspiring?
System: [Host, the melon we are eating today is the melon of Mr. Xu Zhiqing, the Minister of Industry! ]
Qin Yue: [Hmm? So Lord Xu went from being unknown to being well-known?]
Everyone in the hall looked in the direction of Lord Xu.
When people heard this answer, they were not surprised at all. Lord Xu was indeed worthy of the saying "from obscurity to fame".
However, Mr. Xu did not enter the officialdom through the imperial examination, but was hired by the Ministry of Works as an exception because of his extremely talented skills in mechanical engineering.
Lord Xu was born into a poor family and had no chance to study since childhood. Naturally, it was impossible for him to take the imperial examination. His family never hoped that one day Lord Xu would be able to change the Xu family's fortunes through his talent and hard work.
Most of the Xu family members make a living by farming. Mr. Xu is the youngest son of the Xu family. In order to prevent Mr. Xu from having to rely on the soil for a living, the Xu family gritted their teeth and sent the eight-year-old Mr. Xu to a carpenter's house to learn a craft, which would also allow the Xu family to have an extra guaranteed income.
However, what no one in the Xu family could have imagined was that this action completely changed Lord Xu and the Xu family.
While learning from the carpenter, Mr. Xu demonstrated his unique hands-on ability. While others needed to observe many times, he mastered the skills in just one or two times. Not only did he master it, he could also start working directly.
The key is that he not only got the hang of it, but was also able to apply what he learned to other situations, innovate on what he learned, and produce things that are both practical and beautiful.
This outstanding talent amazed the carpenter, so he suggested that the Xu family let Master Xu go to a better master to learn. He had taught everything he could here, and there was really nothing left to teach. Sometimes he even had to ask an eight-year-old apprentice for advice...
The Xu family was naturally happy to hear that their child was so talented, but they were also troubled.
They have been digging in the soil for a living all their lives and have never even left the county town. Where can they find a better master?
But they didn't want to give up, so the Xu family started asking people around to find out where they could find better craftsmen.
While waiting, Mr. Xu did not rest. He started making some common items to sell to reduce the burden on his family. At the same time, he continued to study new things.
They waited for a year, and just when the Xu family thought there was no hope, a wealthy family moved into the village.
The owner of this household happened to be Wu Zhixin, the former retired Minister of Works.
Thus, the bond between a master and a disciple began.
While everyone was lost in their memories, Lord Xu met everyone's curious or affirmative gazes, pursed his lips slightly, and was very surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be chosen by the young official to eat melon.
Especially the phrase "from obscurity to fame", Lord Xu actually doesn't think he deserves this phrase, at least not yet, but that person...
System: [Xu Zhiqing, born in a poor family, is extremely talented in machinery. By chance, he was accepted as a closed disciple by the former Minister of Industry Wu Zhixin.]
【But he is not the protagonist of this melon. 】
