"This..." Lu Xiangsheng looked embarrassed. This jade pendant was the only thing he carried, but it was too expensive. The old man who set up the stall did not dare to accept it. Do you want him to mortgage his clothes?

"Is that so? Mr. Maocai must have come to take part in the provincial examination. This meal is for the younger brother." Seeing that the other party looked embarrassed, the old man was not a stingy person and hurriedly took over the words, "It's just that I have an article here.

, everyone agreed, but the little old man doesn’t quite understand, I hope Mr. Maocai can explain it to the little old man.”

My father-in-law had good intentions, but his actions seemed to have been premeditated, and his words were very clear and concise, without any hesitation.

Hearing what the other party said, Lu Xiangsheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He was a scholar and could not do anything without paying for meals. It was just an unlucky day. He really forgot to bring money. The other party gave up the meal and asked him to interpret an article.

Yep, the two exactly cancel each other out, which is consistent with my identity.

"So, thank you for your hospitality..." Lu Xiangsheng clasped his fists in salute, and was about to thank him, but before he could finish his words, a young voice from beside him intervened.

"Brother, if you have any difficulties, just ask. They are all scholars and they are in a foreign land. I will help if I can." As soon as he came here, the impatient Chen Zhenhui couldn't wait to see the situation on the scene.

's opening.

He even took out the money and handed it directly to his father-in-law. This action immediately stunned Lu Xiangsheng and his father-in-law.

"Since this young master is willing to pay the bill for Mr. Maocai, let's forget what happened just now." Seeing that someone was willing to pay, the old man couldn't help but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Finally, there was a scholar who didn't bring money to eat, so he took the opportunity to think

I wanted to ask for advice, but it was such an unfortunate coincidence.

And this look was precisely noticed by Lu Xiangsheng. Only then did he come back to his senses and finally understand why he always felt that his father-in-law's words were so familiar. It seemed that the other party had been waiting for a scholar like him who didn't bring any money to eat for a long time.

It seems that this article is very important to the other party.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and pushed away Chen Zhenhui's hand that took out the silver, "You don't need your help, sir. I have made an agreement with my father-in-law. I will explain an article to him and that will pay for the meal."

"Master Maocai... Thank you very much. I can't thank you enough!" As he said this, my father-in-law wanted to kneel down in excitement.

"No, please don't." Lu Xiangsheng supported his father-in-law. He was tall and strong, and he couldn't move his hand when he grabbed it.

"It's the little old man who is being rude." The old man wiped the tears of excitement from the corner of his eyes, turned around and touched behind the stall, took out a brand new chapter of the Imperial Daily, and at the same time greeted, "Grandson, come here quickly, come here quickly,

There is a talented gentleman giving you a lecture."

He spent a lot of time and waited for his grandson all because of his grandson. What a pity for the parents in the world. Lu Xiangsheng, who was waiting next to him, felt even more relieved when he saw this scene, and felt that the time he spent here was worth it.

"Hey, brother, I have money here. Don't be embarrassed. I paid for the meal and went back to study. I will take the test tomorrow..." Chen Zhenhui was still puzzled here and didn't understand why the other party refused.

He kept shouting, but Zhang Pu, who hurried from behind, covered his mouth and pulled him away.

"Brother Zhang, why are you dragging me along? Didn't you say that this brother, who was a man of great talent, heroic and martial, and a man who valued both civil and military affairs at that time, asked me to make friends with him? Why are you dragging me along?"

In the distance, Chen Zhenhui's struggling and confused voice could be heard.

"Brother, why don't I call you big brother? How ignorant are you of the world? Haven't you seen that others have solved it?" Another voice that hates iron but cannot be made of steel reprimanded very painfully, seeming to be worried about the other person's emotional intelligence.

.

"Solved, no. I think the other party has to explain the article to the old man. What a waste of time!" Chen Zhenhui is still confused. In his opinion, if he has the time, he might as well go back and pack his bags. He has an exam tomorrow.

.

"You stupid head, how should I say hello to you..." Lu Xiangsheng couldn't hear the voice behind him, but deep down, he was interested in these two people. They were a very interesting pair, and he didn't know them.

How did we know each other?

Both of them are young, but one is well-versed in world affairs and has a good sense of words, while the other is simple and kind, but a bit rebellious and incomprehensible to others.

"It makes Master Maocai laugh. I have to be so shameless for the sake of this grandson." The old man was shy and handed over a copy of the latest Imperial Daily. Next to him, there was a twelve or thirteen-year-old man.

The young man raised his neck and looked at Lu Xiangsheng with admiration.

"It doesn't matter, it's not too late." Lu Xiangsheng shook his head with a smile and took the newspaper. It was said to be the latest, but it was for Nanjing. Looking at its publication date, it was obviously a newspaper published in the capital three days ago.

"That's it, everyone is like a dragon." The old man pointed to an article on the front page and said, "My grandson's teacher said this article was very good, and later explained it to him, but this stupid boy didn't understand it.

I have no choice but to blame Master Maocai shamelessly."

As he said that, he gently patted his grandson on the head, and the other person responded with an embarrassed smile.

"Your Majesty said: I only wish that all of my people are like dragons." Lu Xiangsheng looked at the title of the article and read out softly, "Everyone is like a dragon". In an instant, like lightning, it struck into his heart.

heart.

I only wish that all my people would be like dragons.

This sentence kept echoing back and forth in Lu Xiangsheng's heart. The more he tasted it, the more he felt the sublime meaning inside it. The dragon was used as a metaphor to govern the people, and he hoped that all of them would be as great and noble as the dragon. What kind of expectation was this?

What kind of mind is this?

At the same time, in the capital, there was also a man who was staring closely at a newspaper. The article he was reading was also the article "Everyone is Like a Dragon." After a long time, this man raised his head and let out a long breath.

"Everyone is like a dragon, what kind of ambition is this!" This man was clearly the official who had noticed the details of the emperor's edicts many times during the early dynasty. Judging from his body qualities, he must be a sixth-grade official.

"What a man, everyone is like a dragon." When Lu Xiangsheng was immersed in it, a voice of admiration suddenly sounded next to him. He looked back and saw that it was the two people who wanted to help him just now, but this time it was the big one who spoke.

A bit of a taxi man.

"I'm so rude. I just couldn't help myself after seeing such a wonderful sentence. I hope you can forgive me." Zhang Pu cupped his hands and said apologetically, "I'm Zhang Pu in Taicang. I don't know what I call you."

"I'm Lu Xiangsheng in Yixing. I wonder if you can let me finish explaining this to this little brother?" Lu Xiangsheng reported his home address and then raised the newspaper in his hand.

"Brother Lu, please excuse me. Brother Lu, please excuse me." Zhang Pu took a step back and motioned for the other party to help himself. Next to him, Chen Zhenhui also walked over and looked at this scene curiously. Then, his eyes were attracted to the newspaper. What article

, can make two extraordinary-looking scholars admire him.
