I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

Except for the top three in the palace examination who all stayed in Beijing, and a few including Lu Yanzhou who stayed in Beijing to take up positions, almost all the others were sent abroad.

At this moment, Lu Yanzhou felt that his mind was a little unclear and he couldn't react.

Although he had a good ranking in the palace examination, he had no roots in Kyoto. The fact that he could stay in Beijing and even enter the Hanlin Academy was completely beyond his expectations.

The others, except for the top three, who stayed in Kyoto like him, were all children of nobles in the capital, and were definitely different from him.

Similarly, this incident also made everyone in the capital dumbfounded. They began to inquire about Lu Yanzhou's identity. After learning that he was just an ordinary student taking the imperial examination, they were completely unable to understand this appointment.

Could it be that there was something secretly that they didn't know? However, after Lu Yanzhou came to Beijing, he stayed at home until the imperial examination.

After the results were announced, he claimed to be sick and stayed in the inn, rarely going out. He didn't seem to have any background at all, and for a while, he was a little unpredictable.

When Lu Yanzhou reacted, he was overjoyed. Being able to stay in Beijing would of course be the best outcome. If he was sent abroad, who knows how many years it would take.

Even if he made political achievements, he might not be transferred back. He just didn't understand why. His luck was really too good.

It seems that among all the people who took the imperial examination, he was the luckiest one. He was admitted to the Hanlin Academy just like the top three. This is something that many people would love to have.

He stayed indoors all day, and this job fell into his hands safely.

You know, the days after the results were announced were very busy in Kyoto.

Only Lu Yanzhou turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window. He was reading and waiting in the inn peacefully. He didn't expect that the final result would be like this.

Many people were talking about Lu Yanzhou and wanted to find out what he was thinking, but he refused all the invitations on the grounds of illness.

After thinking about everything in the room, he still couldn't come up with any clue, so he simply sat down and planned to write a letter to the Lin family first.

This appointment determined his future whereabouts, which was a big deal. Lu Yanzhou wanted to write to the Lin family as soon as possible to let them know.

Secondly, I have to solve the problem of where to live in the future. Since I came to Beijing, I have been living in an inn, but if I stay in Beijing in the future, I must have my own place to live.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou took out all the remaining silver he had to see how much he had left. It would be impossible to buy a house in Kyoto.

If I have enough money, I can consider renting a cheaper house and settle down temporarily. Once my salary comes in, it should be enough to cover these expenses.

Lu Yanzhou was lost in thought when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was the waiter of the inn. He handed him a letter and pointed to a figure not far away.

Lu Yanzhou took the letter from the clerk and looked in the direction he pointed. When he saw the man clearly, he couldn't help but pause.

It turned out to be Chu Jiu, whom he had met once in Qingxi Village. He had sent a thank-you gift to him and Lin Yunchu. He didn't expect to see him here.

Seeing that his job was done, the clerk bowed slightly to Lu Yanzhou and then retreated.

Lu Yanzhou closed the door and opened the letter. He was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Xiao Er, whom he and Lin Yunchu had rescued, was actually the Crown Prince of the current dynasty.

Today, Chu Jiu came to deliver a letter to him, inviting him to meet him.

Lu Yanzhou held the letter in his hand, his face filled with shock, and stood there for a long while.

Thinking back, I thought that this was the reason why I was able to enter the Hanlin Academy.

Lu Yanzhou didn't have time to think about it at this moment. He followed the address on the letter, changed his clothes and hurried over.

Soon they arrived at a secluded house, not far from the main street, but the location was extremely secluded, which was a good place.

Lu Yanzhou took a step forward, raised his hand and knocked softly on the door. Soon, the door opened, revealing a familiar face.

It was Chu Jiu who opened the door for him. When he saw Lu Yanzhou, he immediately smiled.

"Master Lu!"

Chu Jiu was very happy to see Lu Yanzhou, and secretly thought that he would have to change his address to Lord Lu when he saw him again in the future.

Lu Yanzhou bowed to Chu Jiu. If Xiao Er was the current crown prince, then Chu Jiu's identity must not be simple either.

"Come in quickly, the master is waiting for you inside."

Lu Yanzhou nodded, straightened his clothes and walked straight in.

After passing through the corridor and entering the main hall, he saw a man standing in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back, looking straight at him with a smile on his face.

Lu Yanzhou was a little stunned for a moment. He had rescued Xiao Er, oh no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, from the back mountain and brought him home. He had been recuperating in the Lu family for quite a while.

Ever since he knew that Xiao Er was an educated man with great literary talent, no less talented than him, the two of them would often chat about everything.

From humanities and customs to imperial examinations and the court, Lu Yanzhou initially thought that the person in front of him was a capable person with great wisdom, but he did not expect that he would have such an identity.

And the Xiao Er standing in front of him at this moment was no longer the same as before.

The person in front of him was now dressed in gorgeous clothes. Although they were not the court clothes specially made for the prince, they still made people feel unattainable.

He had a white jade crown on his head, and was wearing a cloud satin brocade robe. Even the cuffs of his robe were embroidered with gold-trimmed patterns, and a jade pendant hung around his waist.

He has an upright posture and an innate sense of nobility between his brows. When standing from a distance, he seems unattainable.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Don't you recognize me?"

As a light laugh reached his ears, Lu Yanzhou was slightly startled, then immediately came to his senses and hurriedly saluted the person in front of him.

"No gift!"

Xiao Er, oh no, it’s the current Crown Prince Xiao Xunyi.

"Please sit down. I just wanted to see you today. No need to be so formal."

Xiao Xun also knew that Lu Yanzhou was a knowledgeable and ambitious man. Now that he had entered the Hanlin Academy, he would be able to display his talents in the future.

When he was recuperating at the Lu family in Qingxi Village, he also liked talking with Lu Yanzhou. However, Lu Yanzhou didn't know his identity at that time, so he was not as restrained as he is now.

Xiao Xun did not blame Lu Yanzhou either. After all, he knew his identity, and it would be impossible for him to act as recklessly as before.

but......

Xiao Xunyi didn't show too much in the end. After they talked for a while, Lu Yanzhou couldn't wait to ask the questions in his mind.

The reason why he could stay in Kyoto was probably because of the person in front of him.

Xiao Xun seemed to have anticipated that Lu Yanzhou would ask him this question. He curled his lips slightly, picked up the teacup beside him, and took a sip.
