Hearing Mu Zichuan's introduction, Yang Ruoqing was so shocked that her eyes widened.

"What? The person who appreciates you is actually one of the three elders in the cabinet? Oh, cut!"

She was so shocked that she shouted out a catchphrase.

"Muzichuan, you are really lucky to be appreciated by such a big shot."

"As long as you don't go on errands next time, your career will be limitless. You may become a celebrity in Qing'an County!"

Yang Ruoqing said.

She had a premonition that the old Mu family would completely turn things around and shine from Mu Zichuan's generation onwards!

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Mu Zichuan was very relieved.

But there was still a modest smile on his face: "Qing'er, you have given me the award."

Yang Ruoqing didn't have the time to say modest words to him, because she wasn't giving a compliment, she was talking based on the facts.

She saw Daqi's official hierarchy in some books.

Although the three elders in the cabinet cannot be compared with the prime minister, this king, that prince, or the general who governs the country, etc.

Because in terms of power, the three elders in the cabinet have almost no real power.

But,

But the three of them are the people closest to the emperor besides the eunuchs.

In the palace, there are several halls.

Mu Zichuan's mentor, Mr. Zhang, was from Huagai Hall.

These three elders, to put it bluntly, are the emperor's assistants.

Many times when the emperor made a decision on a certain matter, he would ask the opinions of the three elders in the cabinet. This has also been the rule since the founding of the Qi Dynasty.

Therefore, the three elders in the cabinet have no real power, but they are the ones who can most influence the emperor's thoughts and are the real center of power in Da Qi.

Mu Zichuan is so lucky to be appreciated by one of the pavilion elders!

"By the way, Muzichuan, after hearing what you said, I'm even more curious."

Once Yang Ruoqing's fire of gossip is ignited, it cannot be extinguished unless she asks clearly what she wants to ask.

"Master Zhang and you were incompatible with each other in the past."

"How did you meet? Why did he appreciate you so much, accept you as his disciple, and take you with him when he comes to provide disaster relief?" she asked.

Mu Zichuan smiled and shook his head.

"To be honest, I'm not quite sure why I fell into my mentor's eyes."

"However, the encounter with my mentor also came from a ridiculous thing." He said.

"What's ridiculous? How ridiculous is it? Say it quickly, the more absurd the better, the more I like to hear it!"

Yang Ruoqing said excitedly.

Mu Zichuan thought for a moment and then spoke.

"That was the day when the provincial examination was over and results were released."

"The results were posted at the entrance of the Changhuaizhou government office. I was checking my name there at the time, and I learned that I had topped the list in the provincial examination. To be honest, I was very happy."

"However, just as I turned around to go back to the inn, a man who looked like a butler and several people dressed as servants blocked my way," he said.

"What are they going to do?" Yang Ruoqing asked quickly.

Muzichuan Qingjun's face turned slightly red.

"After they stopped me, they announced their identity. It turned out that I was a servant of an official in Changhuaizhou."

"They said that there is a young lady in the family who is waiting to be married, and they want to marry her..."

"Pfft..."

Yang Ruoqing's uncontrollable laughter interrupted Mu Zichuan's words.

He looked embarrassed, blushed and said, "I won't say it anymore. I won't say it anymore."

Yang Ruoqing quickly stopped laughing: "Just keep talking, I've already said half of it, and you've whetted my appetite. If you stop now, you'll die!"

she said.

"What's next? Are they dragging you to the house to have a bridal chamber with that young lady?" she asked.

Muzichuan's face turned redder.

Luo Fengtang glanced at Yang Ruoqing helplessly: "Girl, if you want to hear the complete story, don't interrupt him all the time!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, Mu Zichuan, you continue."

Muzichuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

"They wanted to drag me to their house, but I refused to do so."

"Then they threatened, saying that their master is a big shot in Changhuaizhou, and it was my good fortune to choose me as his son-in-law."

"If I don't submit obediently, they will make things difficult for me and make all my years of hard work go to waste!"

"I didn't compromise."

"They said harsh words and left. I went back to the inn."

"At night, two men dressed as guards came to the inn to look for me, saying that someone wanted to see me."

"I was taken away by them and wanted to see my man. Later I found out that he was actually the current cabinet bachelor, Lord Zhang of Huagai Palace!"

Speaking of this, Mu Zichuan stopped.

"Okay, that's all I know."

Yang Ruoqing also came to her senses.

She pinched her chin, looking thoughtful.

"After listening to these experiences you talked about, I think I probably understand why Mr. Zhang appreciates you!" she said.

"Why?" Mu Zichuan asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "You will not give in when you are strong, you will not be licentious when you are rich, you will not be moved when you are poor or humble."

"I would rather offend the powerful people in Changhuaizhou than force myself to do something I don't want to do."

"No matter when, you will never lose your principles and bottom line as a human being. Therefore, it is this quality of yours that Mr. Zhang appreciates."

"He must have felt that this young man was a talent, so he accepted you as his disciple, trained you and entrusted you with important responsibilities!"

Yang Ruoqing's analysis was clear and logical, and she believed in her own judgment.

After hearing this, Mu Zichuan did not refute.

Perhaps, this is really what my mentor is like?

"Then, will that powerful family from Chang Huaizhou come to trouble you again?" Yang Ruoqing was still concerned about this issue.

Muzichuan shook his head: "There is no more to follow."

Yang Ruoqing snapped her fingers: "That's right, it further confirms my guess."

"Master Zhang must have blocked the harassment for you secretly," she said.

"Muzichuan, I never thought that you, a person who usually looks so unassertive, like a mother's baby, would still be tough at a critical moment?"

"Hey, I'm impressed by you," she said.

Mu Zichuan looked at Yang Ruoqing and hesitated to speak, feeling embarrassed.

The girl in front of her, illuminated by candlelight, had a face like a peach blossom.

The eyes are bright and clear, as if they can speak.

Can he tell her that the real reason why he doesn't want to compromise is because he can compromise on anything.

But Dudu doesn't want to compromise and uses her marriage as a bargaining chip to exchange her future with others.

Because he knew better than to compromise or give up his wife's title.

Perhaps, he still has a faint hope for Qing'er in this life.

If you compromise, become someone else's son-in-law, and get a wife as beautiful as a flower.

With the support of his father-in-law's family, his career will be smooth and he will gain countless wealth, fame and fortune.

However, he could no longer get her.

Even the qualification to like her was lost.

Therefore, he cannot compromise, this is his last insistence.
