Thinking that even the strictest officials and Shangshu recognized themselves, and did they still have the reason that they could not pass the imperial examination, so in the evening, Xiaoman was not willing to have dinner at home, and decided to go to the restaurant outside with Lu Li to celebrate.

Lu Li felt very strange, and he didn't know what made Xiao Man so happy, but since Xiao Man said it, Lu Li was naturally willing.

So Lu Li Xiaoman took Li Niang, Wei Xiuyuan, and Ah Yue, who had recently been elusive, to the best restaurant in Shangjing together.

To say that this restaurant is very luxuriously furnished, the dishes inside are also diverse, and the fragrance is wafting.

To say that usually, Xiaoman feels sorry for the silver and is reluctant to come to such a place to eat, but today, of course, he doesn't care about any money or not, and is ready to eat a happy meal.

After Xiao Man ordered a table of dishes, he asked Xiao'er to bring good wine, so that Lu Li and them could naturally drink freely.

It is rare for Xiao Er to see such a generous guest, and his hands and feet are much sharper.

After all the dishes were served, Xiao Man was about to put down the chopsticks, only to feel that there was a pair of eyes staring at her all the time.

When Xiao Man turned around, he saw a little beggar looking at Xiao Man intently next to him, as well as the dishes on the table.

Xiao Man saw the ragged appearance of this little beggar, and his saliva was about to flow, although he didn't know how he got into such a restaurant, but Xiao Man felt that he was also strange and pitiful, so he beckoned to this little beggar.

When the little beggar saw Xiao Man's, he quickly ran over, and Xiao Man asked gently.

"Child, is your family in Shangjing?"

The beggar shook his head, and at first, his voice was very hoarse, and at first he didn't look like he had eaten, but now his stomach began to growl.

"I'm not from Shangjing, I'm from other places."

Lu Li looked at the child, who was skinny, so he took a piece of meat and put it in his notched bowl.

When this kid saw that Xiaoman's group of people were so kind, he was naturally grateful again and again.

But I didn't expect that at this time, the shopkeeper just started to inspect the store, and saw that this child was so short-eyed, and ran into such a gorgeous restaurant to spoil the scenery, so he was naturally very angry, and immediately took out a sweep and hit the child's back fiercely.

The child hadn't eaten for a few days, and he didn't have much strength, so he couldn't escape.

The shopkeeper was very heavy, and a few strokes made a few blood marks on the child's body, seeing that the shopkeeper was so ruthless, Ah Yue naturally couldn't bear it, and hurriedly threw a piece of silver to the showcase.

"Shopkeeper, we're still eating by ourselves, are you going too far?"

The shopkeeper naturally didn't want to mess with these rich masters, so he explained again and again.

"I'm sorry, I don't know where this kid came from, I'll drive him away immediately."

Hearing the shopkeeper say this, Ah Yue waved her hand to stop the shopkeeper's behavior.

"I look at the kid and look very smart, tell him to eat with us, and you won't have anything to say if we pay."

The shopkeeper looked at Xiaoman in surprise, and he didn't know what these rich people thought, so he put a dirty and smelly beggar to sit next to him to eat, but in this way, they want to be so kind, and they can't care about it, so they snorted coldly.

"Okay, what do the guest officers like to do,"

Xiaoman pulled the child down and sat down beside him, and said to him,

"You're right next to me, if there's anything delicious, you can eat whatever you want."

After listening to Xiaoman's words, the child naturally immediately picked up the bowl and devoured it, Li Niang looked at this child and thought it was very interesting, so she asked this child.

"Child, you just said that your family is not from Shangjing, so why did you come to Shangjing?"

I heard the child reply in a soft and glutinous voice.

"I'm here to participate in the imperial examination."

As soon as he said this, Wei Xiuyuan was on the side, laughing, and said that the youngest champion in Shangjing was Wei Xiuyuan, because he studied hard since he was a child, and he became the champion at the age of sixteen, and no one has been able to break his record until now.

This child is simply ashamed to say that at such a young age, he should stay at home.

"Child, do you know what the imperial examination is, you are so young, you should study hard at home for a few years."

Hearing Wei Xiuyuan say this, the kid shouted loudly.

"I don't care what others say, I just want to be the youngest champion in the capital."

Wei Xiuyuan frowned, this kid said this, didn't he just show that he wanted to surpass himself.

"Do you know who the youngest champion in Shangjing is?"

"Of course I know, it's Wei Xiuyuan, and I'm confident that I can break his record."

When Li Niang heard the child's words, she also felt that his tone was very loud, and he didn't know that this was sitting next to him, it was the youngest champion of Donglan Kingdom, Wei Xiuyuan.

Wei Xiuyuan seemed to be on fire in his eyes now, he looked at the child unconvinced, he couldn't let the child compare for no reason, right?

Yu Wei Xiuyuan casually said a few questions on the Four Books and Five Classics, but he didn't expect this child to answer them fluently, so everyone was very surprised, they didn't expect this child to be so powerful, at a young age, he was already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.

Such a level is indeed better than most candidates in the capital.

Xiao Man listened, his face turned a little red, he didn't expect a child to be so powerful, he could participate in the imperial examination, and he studied hard all day long, but he still didn't know if he could pass the hard work, so he admired this child a little more.

"Then it's because you live in Beijing that you spend all your money?"

The kid shook his head.

"Actually, it's not, the main thing is that I've met some scammers in Shangjing, they cheated us out of our money, I don't have extra money to eat now, I just know that I'm begging, fortunately, I will get the time for the imperial examination soon, I still have a little money to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and when the exam is over, I can go home."

Lu Li looked at the child, although he was young, he didn't look like an ordinary person, so he proposed to Xiaoman.

"Xiaoman, it's better to let him live in our house a few days before the exam."

When Xiao Man heard it, didn't Lu Li's words suit her wishes, she happened to be living outside for a few more days and suffering from wind and frost, sleeping in the open all day, in case it affected her mood during the exam. Or what kind of disease is contracted outside. I can't take the exam. Isn't it too unworthy, after all, he is so smart, he can't live up to it.

So she asked cautiously.

"Child, what's your name, in fact, we have a house in Shangjing, I wonder if you would like to come to live in our house a few days before the exam?"

The child was naturally very happy when he heard Xiaoman invite him to give him a place to live, thinking that he could finally end the days of sleeping on the streets, so he hurriedly said to Xiaoman.

"My name is Du Yue, since my wife is willing to give me a place to live, I am naturally very willing."

Xiaoman nodded.

"Okay now, you see that when Xiuyuan and Liniang teach me to read in the future, you can still guide me on the side, so that I am not counted, and there is another person who can help me?"

Hearing Su Xiaoman say this, Du Yue felt a little puzzled, the person in front of her was a woman, how could she need someone else to guide her to study.

"Could it be that you are Su Xiaoman, who is rumored in the capital?"

Su Xiaoman felt a little nervous when he heard it, he had to know that his current identity was very embarrassing, as long as the people in the capital saw him, he would talk about it behind his back, and she didn't know if this child agreed with his own approach, if he was also very disgusted with the matter of women participating in the imperial examination in his heart, if he wanted to invite him to Lu Zhai, he would not want to come.

"Yes, I am the Su Xiaoman who proposed to let the emperor open the women's imperial examination."

Su Xiaoman thought that the young man would have some disgusted expressions when he heard it, but he didn't expect the young man to just nod lightly, indicating that he already knew about it.

This made Xiaoman a little surprised.

"Why, don't you have anything else to say?"

Du Yue raised her eyebrows and said to Su Xiaoman.

"What is there to say, do you want to ask me if I support the women's imperial examination, from my point of view, I don't think it matters, as long as there are talented people, you can enter the court as an official, whether it is a man or a woman, you see I am only thirteen years old, I said I want to participate in the imperial examination, all the people in our village are laughing at me, my parents don't believe me, and they don't want to give me more money to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but I myself am very confident that I will definitely be able to become the youngest champion in Donglan Kingdom, so you have this sincere heart, That's the same with me. ”

When Xiao Man heard Du Yue say this, his eyebrows were full of joy.

"Since you are also one of the candidates, wouldn't it be much more convenient for us to review together in the future."

Li Niang didn't expect this child to be so transparent at a young age, and she liked him even more in her heart.

"Yes, yes, it will be more convenient for us to review in the future!"

Xiao Man stood up and prepared to introduce Du Yue to one or two people in front of him.

"I'll introduce you to the people next to you, this is Li Niang, that is, my master, her wisdom is unparalleled in the world, it is said that she is also the one who participated in the imperial examination this time, but because the emperor does not allow lowly women to participate, she lost the opportunity."

Li Niang smiled gently, Du Yue saw that Li Niang's eyes seemed to be flashing with wisdom, and she was a little more curious about Li Niang in her heart.

"This is Wei Xiuyuan, that is, the youngest champion of the Donglan Kingdom you just mentioned."

Hearing that this person was his target, Du Yue suddenly stood up anxiously.

Lu Li couldn't help but hold his stomach and laugh when he saw Du Yue's big reaction.

I saw that the child's face was swollen and red, and he turned into a big tomato, and he squeaked and didn't dare to speak.

Lu Li saw that this child was so nervous, and he also understood a little, this child should think that Wei Xiuyuan should be regarded as an idol in his heart, and he would be so nervous when he saw an idol at this time.
