Lu Zhaolin smiled with relief: "If such a day really comes, I will definitely thank you for coming to my house in person today."

"I will go back and report to the emperor first." Xiao Dezi bowed to the two of them again and left the general's mansion.

The moment the door of the general's mansion closed.

Lu Zhaofeng patted Lu Zhaolin's shoulder heavily, his emotions a little difficult to control: "Brother, I have finally waited for this day. Brother, your talent will definitely make it to the top of the list."

Lu Zhaolin smiled bitterly and pulled the corners of his lips: "It's hard for my sister to be alone in the palace. As a brother, I can't share her worries, and I always make her worry."

Listen to what Lu Zhaolin said.

Lu Zhaofeng was slightly stunned.

Just for a moment.

Then he quickly came to his senses: "My sister has grown up. She is no longer the little girl who always hangs around us and asks for candy."

Lu Zhaolin pursed his lips and sighed secretly in his heart: "Is my eldest brother so useless? He is so old, but he still makes his younger brothers and sisters worry about him all day long."

"What are you talking about, brother." Lu Zhaofeng hugged his neck and said, "Come on, brother, let's go pick out the best set of four treasures of the study. When you win the first prize, I will follow you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

"No need. We have plenty of the four treasures of the study at home." Lu Zhaolin looked repulsive.

"What's at home belongs to the family." Lu Zhaofeng said as he pulled him out: "My brother gave it to you so that you can win the championship in one fell swoop. How can it be the same? Besides, you stay at home all day and are almost moldy. It's good to go out for a walk."

Lu Zhaofeng said so.

It was not possible for Lu Zhaolin to continue refusing, so he had to be dragged out of the general's mansion reluctantly.

The imperial examination is approaching.

Many scholars came to the streets and alleys of the imperial city.

The teahouse was packed with guests, and scholars gathered in groups of three or five, talking and chatting.

In Qinxiang Garden, the largest teahouse in the imperial city, two scholars in green shirts were sitting near the window.

"I have studied hard for ten years and taken the imperial examinations three times, but the last one to be named is Sun Shan, and there are even more talented people outside of Sun Shan." He Xingyi said dejectedly.

"Brother He, you don't have to be so discouraged. Maybe you can win the first prize this time." Xie Ruofan said.

"Brother Xie, you don't know that there is no fairness in the imperial examination nowadays. One can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi with only 100,000 silver coins. How can poor scholars like us covet this?" He Xingyi said indignantly.

"Brother He, why do you say that?" Xie Ruofan was puzzled.

He Xingyi shook his head helplessly: "Oh, the officials nowadays have already clearly marked their prices. It is inevitable that Brother Xie does not know these since this is his first time to take the imperial examination..."

Listen to the conversation between the two.

Lu Zhaolin and Lu Zhaofeng stopped in their tracks at the same time.

The two looked at each other and walked into the teahouse.

Lu Zhaolin walked to a table next to the two of them and sat down.

The waiter didn't even fill up the glass.

There was a noisy sound coming from the direction of the door.

"Get out of the way, everyone!"

"I can't see Master Liu coming, why don't you get out of the way?"

"roll roll roll……"

A man who looked like a servant was following the shop's lead, showing off his power to the customers in the shop while fawning over a greasy-haired and big-eared man.

"Are you blind? Get out of the way now. Once the imperial examination is over, this guy will be our current top scholar."

The servant, taking advantage of his master's power, drove away the scholars who were drinking tea at the table in the middle.

"How can you talk like that?" One of the scholars couldn't stand it anymore and retorted.
