But I imagine he must have been a handsome man in his youth.
As soon as Lin Ruofu entered the main hall, his eyes softened.
A warm smile appeared on his face.
They explained their purpose very politely.
However, to Su Yu's surprise...
He brought it up first, but not about asking Su Yu to treat Wan'er's illness.
Instead, he mentioned the imperial examinations, implying that he wanted Su Yu to become his disciple.
Lin Ruofu's eyes were full of admiration.
Looking at Su Yu, he smiled slightly and asked gently.
We met twice during the imperial examinations.
Do you still remember?
This young man has an outstanding temperament.
Lin Ruofu spotted him in the crowd at a glance.
Then he carefully examined his exam paper.
This person was indeed exceptionally talented in literature, truly an extraordinary individual.
Therefore, I wrote down his name.
Su Yu nodded and smiled as well.
"some."
"Prime Minister Lin is the chief examiner for this year's imperial examination."
"As a candidate, it's hard for me not to remember Lin Xiang."
If a candidate doesn't even know who the examiner is, then...
Isn't that outrageous?
However, he really didn't expect it at first.
Lin Ruofu made a special trip to see his exam paper.
I thought I had just happened to walk into his exam room, so I took another look.
But upon closer reflection, I understood.
Lin Ruofu spoke slowly again.
"I can tell that you are an extremely intelligent and ambitious person."
"I won't beat around the bush with you anymore."
"Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
5. "In your future career, I can also help you achieve great things."
Actually, this should have been the student's responsibility to find a way to get help.
They personally visited their master's residence and sincerely requested to become disciples.
But Lin Ruofu waited at the Prime Minister's residence for a long time.
I also met many candidates who came to seek out my mentor.
However, the candidate he had been hoping for, Su Yu, never came.
However, Lin Ruofu greatly admired the young man in front of him.
He's not someone who can't let go of his status.
Since they cherish talent, they are naturally willing to treat the virtuous with respect.
Therefore, he came to the Su residence in person and spoke directly about the matter.
Lin Ruofu was looking forward to it.
Just as the young man in front of him was about to nod, moved and excited, indicating his willingness to become his apprentice.
Reality, however, gave him a resounding slap in the face.
Su Yu smiled slightly and answered calmly.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Minister Lin."
"I appreciate your understanding."
It's impossible for me to become an apprentice.
Su Yu only wants to take on apprentices.
Cultivating immortality.
Forget about becoming an official.
Generally speaking, that's where we stop here.
They both understood.
Lin Ruofu's expression shifted slightly, but it seemed he hadn't quite heard.
Or perhaps they were worried that Su Yu was too happy and couldn't express herself clearly.
So he spoke again, asking somewhat uncertainly.
"I appreciate it?"
Since Lin Ruofu became the prime minister of the previous dynasty.
People always try their best to curry favor with him and want to become his disciples.
Or, it would be good to get closer to him.
It was the first time we'd met, and he took the initiative to invite me out.
But he was rejected.
It's so unbelievable, it's simply too bizarre.
Is this young man a simpleton?
Do you just want to rely on yourself and work your way up step by step?
Or perhaps he sees himself as a treacherous minister.
Unwilling to compromise one's principles?
Lin Ruofu gradually stopped doubting Su Yu's answer.
It turned into self-doubt.
Su Yu couldn't help but smile, and then answered gently again.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Minister Lin."
"I can only appreciate your understanding."
"Since Prime Minister Lin holds a high position, I believe there must be many people who want to become his disciples."
"Let's leave the opportunity to others who need it."
His tone was gentle, but his meaning was firm.
He did not want to become Lin Ruofu's disciple.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruofu could no longer smile.
His face darkened, and his expression revealed a hint of displeasure.
When a person has expectations in their heart at the beginning, but is unable to achieve those expectations.
It will always be hard to accept.
At this moment, Lin Ruofu found it hard to accept.
It's a pity that such a talented person couldn't be recruited.
Or perhaps their enthusiastic invitation was rejected.
It's all quite hard to accept.
After all, in recent years, Lin Ruofu has always been condescending in rejecting others.
I've really forgotten what it feels like to be rejected.
However, Lin Ruofu was ultimately a smart and respectable man.
He knew that Su Yu must have his own reasons for saying that.
Therefore, after calming down and processing those negative emotions.
Lin Ruofu asked with some curiosity.
Can you tell me why?
"I believe that my rank and abilities are not low."
"He has a wide network of connections and many ways to get things done."
"If you wish to become an official, becoming my disciple would be an excellent choice."
When talking about these things, Lin Ruofu looked very confident.
Having navigated the officialdom for so many years, if one doesn't even have this much self-confidence...
Then all those years of officialdom have been for nothing.
Su Yu smiled faintly and replied politely.
"Because Su didn't want to be an official."
"I participated in the imperial examination to fulfill my long-cherished wish after years of studying."
Actually, it wasn't that I didn't want to be an official from the beginning.
