Chu Yuehua, who was about to take the basket from her side, was shocked by her tone. "What happened?"

"That's right, this originally has nothing to do with you," she nodded first, then said, "Originally, this year's general election was held, but the Emperor said that the crown prince is now fifteen years old and can choose his consort. So, this time's general election should be for the crown prince to choose his consort."

All the officials above the fifth rank in the imperial court, as well as all the beauties in the imperial court, were to participate in the general election. Since the Empress had already appointed Miss Luo, we were naturally going to accompany them.

However, Madam said that although this time's general election will only be for the princess consort, all of the young ladies who will be participating will stand out. If I am a little more outstanding in this field, I will be able to obtain the eyes of a lot of noble people, and it will be much easier for me to talk about a good family. "

Madame Li's thoughts were correct. Originally, there were very few opportunities for women to appear in the room, not to mention at such an important occasion with so many nobles present. This was indeed a rare opportunity.

Moreover, after experiencing what Zhou Ruxin had done, the House of the Marquis had truly changed its impression in the eyes of others. However, it was unexpected that Zhou Ruyun would actually be so frank with him.

But it was probably because she knew that she didn't have the qualifications to participate in the selection. Chu Yuehua was still well aware of her personality.

"Then why are you still wandering around here? Why don't you hurry up and train? Madam's words are not wrong. Who knows, maybe this time's talent show will give you a good marriage! "

Zhou Ruyun frowned in distress, "Don't mention it, I'm about to die from annoyance. I used to think that our family's requirements for us were already strict, but now that the palace's senior sister has come, she even has to take care of me if I shake my skirt multiple times when I'm walking."

Chu Yuehua smiled without a word and brought a fan over for her.

As usual, there were a lot of people who went to the temple to burn incense during the first 15 years of the new year.

The Marquis' Mansion was naturally popular as well, as it was normally the place where the Deng Family went out. The ladies then followed her if they wanted to go.

This time, Zhou Ruyun was going to practice all sorts of etiquette rules at home. Because of what happened last time, Chu Xuanghua always avoided the Deng family, but this time he was a bit uncomfortable and didn't want to go.

However, he immediately greeted the old lady and left the manor.

After talking about the matter at the manor, the old lady had opened her mouth to ask for help. If she had something to do, she could leave the manor on her own, but she could just ask someone to follow her.

Similarly, this time he still brought mother Xiao and Du Ruo out of the house. Of course, their destination wasn't the manor.

Just as he was about to die, a white horse suddenly appeared and brought him to this White Horse Temple. Although the White Horse Temple was not a national temple, its status was not any lower than a national temple.

Many nobles liked to come here and offer incense. This was partly because of the strong incense, but also because of the prayers made in the White Horse Temple. It was indeed more effective than other places.

A not very beautiful but definitely not simple carriage slowly stopped at the foot of the mountain of the White Horse Temple.

A young man about twelve or thirteen years old jumped down from the carriage with a errand boy. He smiled and said, "Today is it!"

Although there were many visitors to the White Horse Temple, the interior of the temple was spacious.

Moreover, most of the rich families were very familiar with the temple's overseer, so they had already prepared two rooms in the backyard. The women of the big families had all gone to the backyard, so most of the people walking in the front yard were normal people, and some of the grown men came from big families.

At this moment, under an old locust tree, between the front yard and the back yard of the White Horse Temple, sat a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar. He wore a square towel, and sat cross-legged on a big rock under the old locust tree.

The surrounding people were all whispering to him, especially the young scholars. Some of them were frowning as they tried their best to think of a solution.

There were also some ladies from wealthy families on the other side of the hall. They wore bonnets and were accompanied by maidservants to watch the show.

Almost invisible to the eye, he nodded. The young man turned to a scholar and said, "This brother here is very courteous. I just arrived and it seems like it's quite lively here. I wonder why?"

The scholar seemed to have been stumped by this. Hearing his question, he said, "This uncle came here early in the morning to argue with someone. Why is he asking such a question? What do you want to learn?"

"Oh?" Could it be that no one had ever tried to dispute with him before?

The scholar glanced at him, then blushed and shook his head meaninglessly.

As he spoke, another youth ran up. "Let me take a look."

The middle-aged scholar had a smile on his face the entire time. Seeing someone walk over, his expression did not change as he smiled and said, "Please enlighten me! "May I ask what you want to learn from your studies?"

"To learn, of course."

"What kind of knowledge?"

"What I don't know."

"Knowledge you don't know?"

"Yes!"

"Don't you want to learn what you already know?"

"What else do I need to learn from what I already know?"

"I heard that there is a type of lizard in the extreme northern part of the Qi Nation. It has five legs, do you want to learn it?"

"Why would I want to learn about Five-footed Lizards?"

"Do you know these five footed lizards?"

The young man's face immediately flushed red. He embarrassedly said, "I don't know."

"I heard that there is a water immortal mountain in the South China Sea. Rumor has it that the flowers and plants on that mountain are abundant all year round and don't wilt. Would you like to learn it?"

"What does that have to do with me? "Why should I learn it?"

"Your esteemed self doesn't know about these Five Legged Lizards, but you don't want to learn anything about them. You don't want to know about the South Sea Immortal Mountain, and you also don't want to learn anything about it; does that mean that you don't want to learn anything that you don't know?"

As you said before, you don't want to learn what you already know, and now you don't want to learn what you don't know. Aren't the things in this world only what you know and what you don't know? So, what exactly does your esteemed self want to learn? What do you want to learn? "

The young man was left speechless and had no choice but to withdraw.

Hearing this, Young Master couldn't help but chuckle.

This logic sounded very reasonable, but in reality, the young man had already let the scholar stealthily change his mind while he was arguing with him.

He looked at the light purple figure and smiled. Then, he walked up and sat down in front of the scribe.
