Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Many people came to greet them.

"Brother Xu, it's been a while since we parted ways at Zuiyue Tower. I hope you've been well."

Li Lan smiled slightly and looked directly at Xu Ruyu in the middle of the crowd!

Today, Xu Ruyu was dressed in white, looking elegant and handsome, standing out from the crowd like a star among the crowd.

However, when he met Li Lan's gaze, it flickered slightly. But he gritted his teeth, his face turned cold, and he said, "Li Lan, how dare you bring up the Drunken Moon Pavilion?"

Li Lan smiled and said, "Brother Xu, what makes you say that?"

"Do I need to say more that the Drunken Moon Pavilion plagiarizes other people's poems and deceives the world to steal fame?"

Xu Ruyu pressed on, "Do you dare say that 'Spring River Flower Moon Night' was truly written by yourself?!"

Li Lan showed no anger whatsoever, but instead smiled and said, "You're right, that poem was copied by me."

Just admit it!

Immediately, the crowd erupted in uproar.

"Sure enough!"

"Hehe, I knew it! There's no such thing as a genius lying dormant for a day and then suddenly becoming a legend!"

"This kid is truly shameless, plagiarizing other people's poems and yet so arrogantly spouting nonsense!"

Another wave of criticism followed.

Even Lin Ruobing pinched Li Lan's arm, wondering what nonsense he was spouting.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruyu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Whom did you copy from?"

That night at Zuiyue Tower, Li Lan's poem "Spring River Flower Moon Night" truly left him utterly powerless, shattering his pride completely!

However, after being persuaded by Mr. Zhu and others, and due to his own unwillingness to admit it and his resentment, he seemed to have forgotten the scene that night and instead felt that Li Lan must have plagiarized.

Hearing Li Lan admit it himself, he felt an overwhelming sense of hope.

Yes, it was Li Lan who copied it!

This useless son-in-law can't possibly defeat me!

He could accept that his talent was not as good as those of the great scholars of his predecessors, but he could not accept being trampled underfoot by another peer!

Li Lan smiled and pointed to the sky: "Celestial Immortals!"

"I, Li, am indeed not talented. Unfortunately, I am extremely lucky. I often dream of immortals bestowing poems upon me..."

He looked relaxed.

"What a madman!"

"Shameless! What are you to dare spout such nonsense?"

"You actually think you can evade the fact of plagiarism with such absurd nonsense?"

The crowd erupted in angry curses.

"If you don't believe me, then forget it. I need to go to the examination hall to sleep so that the immortal can bestow the essay upon me in my dream. I won't waste any more of your time."

After speaking, Li Lan calmly stepped forward and entered the examination room.

"Gentlemen, this boy is arrogant. We will make sure he is utterly disgraced when the results are announced!"

"Yes, it's the crucial exam for literature and scholarship, who else could he possibly copy from?"

"Let's see how he handles this!"

Everyone spoke up and entered the examination hall.

Inside the examination room cubicle.

The sealed exam papers were handed out. It was a major exam for literature and art, and all of them were policy essays. Li Lan glanced at them and found that the theme was always the same: On the essentials of governing a country.

This kind of article is very easy to write because everyone has countless ideas.

Such articles are extremely difficult to write because the subject matter is too broad. Without a systematic theory and outstanding viewpoints, they will become utterly commonplace and lose their meaning.

After a moment's thought, Li Lan picked up his pen and began to write.

He was indeed plagiarizing.

Soon, Li Lan was the first to leave the examination room.

Outside the examination hall, people from all the households were waiting, and when Li Lan came out first, it caused a stir.

"Young Master Li, my master invites you."

Just as the Lin family was about to come and pick him up, a servant in blue approached. Li Lan waved to Tie Poshan and walked with the servant to another carriage.

Inside the carriage, a middle-aged man holding a folding fan lifted the curtain and smiled slightly: "Young Master Li Lan, would you mind coming aboard for a chat?"

Li Lan calmly entered the carriage.

The carriage was spacious and had a small table with wine on it, namely Qingyun Brew.

"Mr. Zhu is indeed a man of refined taste and enjoyment."

Li Lan said.

Mr. Zhu was not surprised that Li Lan could guess his identity. He said, "I heard that Young Master Li Lan likes Qingyun wine, so I specially prepared a small amount of wine to celebrate Young Master Li's success in the imperial examination."
