The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

"Yes, it's me," Zhang Pingan replied. "I didn't expect we'd be so destined to meet again in the capital. How have you been these years?"

"Me? I'm fine!" Li Mingxuan replied gently without saying much.

The whole person seemed to have become much calmer, and he had shed the arrogance and aloofness of his youth, and understood the etiquette of the world.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the two of them for a few seconds and asked, "Are you also here to burn incense and draw lots?"

"Of course I come here to burn incense and pray for divination," Liu Sanlang replied with a silly smile.

"Yeah, I asked a stupid question," Li Mingxuan laughed and shook his head in self-mockery.

Then he said, "I heard that fortune-telling here is very effective. I don't know if it's true, but I'm unlucky. I got a bad fortune and am now going to find a fortune teller to interpret it!"

"When it comes to fortune-telling, if you believe it, it will come true; if you don't believe it, it won't come true. There's no need to think too much about it." Zhang Ping'an was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but quickly comforted himself.

"Well, I'm fine. Sometimes I think that it's not easy to survive in troubled times. It's useless to ask for too many things that you can't get. It will only add to your troubles. Seeing the red light in your two eyebrows, you must be in the luckiest time of your life. Your luck must be better than mine, and you will definitely get a good fortune," Li Mingxuan said with a smile.

"It's just a way to make a living!" Zhang Pingan said modestly.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of having a closer relationship with him, Zhang Pingan would not rush to make trouble for himself.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Zhang Pingan bowed and said goodbye: "If there is a chance someday, let's get together for a drink!"

"Sure!" Li Mingxuan nodded and bowed in response.

Everyone knows that it is hard to say when this day will come.

Li Mingxuan politely bowed to Liu Sanlang before turning around and leaving.

Looking at Li Mingxuan's back gradually disappearing into the distance.

Liu Sanlang sighed, "This man seems much gentler and more docile than before!"

"People always grow up, don't they? I think it might be easier for him to live this way. Okay, let's go back," Zhang Ping'an said, patting his brother-in-law's arm.

The two returned to the entrance of the hall.

Liu Shuisheng has a good memory. He had heard of Li Mingxuan before in his hometown and remembered him after only seeing him twice.

Seeing the changes in the other person at this time, I can only say that things are unpredictable.

No one paid any attention to this episode.

After the queue came up, we quickly entered the main hall to burn incense and draw lots.

Zhang Ping'an, Liu Sanlang and Luodouyan were all lucky enough to draw the best fortune sticks, but the contents of the fortune sticks were different, so they needed to find a master to interpret them.

Mr. Huang drew a lucky number, which was considered average, neither good nor bad.

Only Liu Shuisheng drew a medium-low lot.

Apart from the worst luck, the worst luck is the middle-low luck.

After reading it, Liu Shuisheng couldn't help but frowning, his eyes showing some worry as if he was thinking about something.

Several people couldn't help but say a few words of comfort, and Liu Shuisheng quickly adjusted himself.

He waved his hand and smiled calmly, "It's okay. Since some people draw the best lot, there must be others who draw the worst. It's impossible for everyone to have good luck. Don't worry about me. Let's go find a master to interpret the lot and hear what he says."

"You are a businessman, it is better to believe it than not to believe it. Ask the master later if there is any way to crack it." Green Bean Eyes himself was born into a royal merchant family, so he was very superstitious. The first thing he thought of was how to crack it.
