It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

The book boy and the attendant all had to go to the place where servants were entertained. Lu Yaowen said that Weng Xiaoxiao was his cousin, so he brought her along. Weng Xiaoxiao was very grateful to this cheap master. What could she see by staying in the servants' place? It would be better not to come.

There is a large plum forest in the manor. It is not yet the time for the plum blossoms to bloom in the frost, but the red buds on the branches have already shown their initial charm, which is extremely eye-catching in this gray winter.

Holding a literary gathering in the Plum Garden is always an elegant event.

According to Mr. Lu, the organizer of this literary gathering is the eldest son of the Zhongxin Marquisate, who will also take part in the Spring Examination this year and wants to make friends with some knowledgeable people in advance. Lu Yaowen ranked well in the Autumn Examination, so he was among the invited guests.

After Lu Yaowen exchanged greetings with the eldest son who was welcoming guests, he went to the students he was familiar with, and whispered to Weng Xiaoxiao, "Just stay with me, don't go too far."

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. Although she was curious, she was not reckless and knew not to cause trouble.

However, Weng Xiaoxiao soon regretted this decision. The discussion of classics, history, and imperial examination papers by a few scholars was so boring that she kept dozing off.

"Sir, I'm going to go to the bathroom. I won't go far."

"Go ahead, remember the route, and don't get lost." Lu Yaowen could naturally see that Weng Xiaoxiao could no longer sit still.

Weng Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile. When she was traveling by herself, she went to places with few people. She walked around but didn't reach the edge of the Merlin. But she couldn't remember the way back, so she had to find a rock to sit down and rest.

......

"Who do I think it is? How did you get in?"

As the teasing male voice came, a branch was thrown towards Weng Xiaoxiao and hit her shoulder squarely.

Weng Xiaoxiao stood up angrily and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I don't think it's possible to sneak into a literary gathering like this without a leader. Are you belittling me or the host?"

Lin Changqing knew that his elder brother was having a party in the Plum Garden, so he didn't want to go over there, so he hid here. Unexpectedly, he got a pleasant surprise when he saw the lost Weng Xiaoxiao. He stared at Weng Xiaoxiao for a long time before approaching her to talk to her.

"I was rude, and I apologize to you. Don't mind it, don't mind it." He smiled and bowed.

"Sir, are you here to attend the literary gathering as well? You must have come to the wrong place." Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Changqing carefully. This man has a good appearance, but he is a bit sloppy. He can't be a serious scholar.

"Of course... No, although I run a study, I am not a scholar. How did you come up with those bizarre stories? Tell me about them."

Running a study and knowing that he is writing a book, could he be the owner of Wangyuezhai? Such a young owner? Or even a young owner?

"I just like to daydream when I have nothing to do," Weng Xiaoxiao said, then quickly changed her words, "No, that book was written by my brother."

"Your brother wrote it? Humph, you are dishonest! I don't believe that a bookworm can write such a story. I believe that your brother paid for it."

"Sir, you have a sharp eye and a clear mind, but what does it matter if it wasn't written by me?" This man was not easy to fool, so Weng Xiaoxiao simply spread out her hands, indicating that it didn't matter who wrote it.

Lin Changqing smiled. He saw that Weng Xiaoxiao rejected him, which was not his purpose, so he spoke in a serious tone, "Don't be nervous. We are also partners, and we share the same interests."

"Yes, a cooperative relationship." Weng Xiaoxiao didn't have a good impression of this playboy and still spoke in a rather cold tone.

"Little brother, you are not cute now. I just thought I could make friends with you because I thought you were interesting. I am so bored and I need a companion."

"You are from a noble family and have a carefree life, but I have to write books and run a small business to make a living. I'm afraid we can't get along."

"No, no, I can't say anything absolutely. We first met when you picked up my purse, and then we met again in the bookstore. Who would have thought that we would meet here again today? It's all fate." Lin Changqing lifted up his skirt and sat down on the stone.

"Haha, this gentleman is funny, isn't he? I am a man, not a girl, so there is no such thing as fate."

"You are narrow-minded. Brotherly fate is also fate! Even if you are a girl, I will not be attracted by your looks. Don't worry! I just think you are very interesting."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lin Changqing."

Weng Xiaoxiao forced herself to look constipated. This reason was really hard to refuse, so she responded, "I am Weng Xiao. Thank you, Master Lin, for your kindness."

"Being brothers is not just a lip service, it is all about getting along. Drinking in Merlin is very interesting, why don't you go for a drink with me?"

Weng Xiaoxiao waved her hands repeatedly. Drinking with strangers is not a good habit, and she doesn't have it.

Seeing that Weng Xiaoxiao didn't drink, Lin Changqing thought that he was still young and let him just not drink. Just as he was scratching his head and thinking about the program, he heard footsteps coming.

"Oh, Lin Changqing, have you changed your taste? But your taste is not very good!"

The frivolous tone in his voice was different from that of Lin Changqing's. It was obviously filled with malice. Weng Xiaoxiao frowned when she heard it.

Lin Changqing stood up with a dark face, took a step forward and stood in front of Weng Xiaoxiao.

Then he tilted his head and chuckled, "Why, you, Mr. Wang, are also here to attend the literary gathering? Can you write an article?"

"You talk as if you can write?! Don't you say you don't play with young prostitutes? Tsk tsk, this beauty..."

"If you want to change your taste and have no money, how about I treat you to a visit at Ruyi Pavilion some other day? But your sister has to marry me and even sleep with me!"

Lin Changqing was so angry that he gritted his teeth and told Weng Xiaoxiao to run behind him quickly and not to care about him. Then he swung his fist at the foul-mouthed man.

There was no reason not to fight back, and the three of them started fighting immediately.

Weng Xiaoxiao just took a look and ran away obediently. She couldn't help with this matter either by talking or doing, so it would be more useful to run and ask for help from others.

He ran and stumbled for a long time before he saw a figure. He didn't care whether he knew him or not, and told everyone he met that there was a fight in the woods. He talked so much that he finally alarmed the eldest son of the Lin family.

Since someone was causing trouble, Lin Changchun, the host of the literary gathering, naturally could not ignore it, so he immediately led a few servants over.

As long as someone is in charge, Master Lin will not suffer any loss, and Weng Xiaoxiao stayed with Lu Yaowen with peace of mind.

"It's insulting, and there are people causing trouble at the literary gathering."

"Where there are people, there are disputes. If someone is in charge, there will be no disputes. Let's continue with our discussion. What do you think of Lord Chang's invitation?"

Mr. Chang? Invitation?

Weng Xiaoxiao searched her memory and found that there seemed to be no one with this surname in the original book. If there was any, he was just a minor follower and she had no impression of him.

"Brother Wen, it's not too late to talk about it after the Spring Examination. It's still unknown whether you will make the list or not. If you submit it like this, I'm afraid it won't be taken seriously."

"Brother Lu, what you said makes sense. I think so too. Let's see if I can make the list after the Spring Examination."

"We are from ordinary families. Without support, even if we pass the imperial examinations twice, it will be difficult for us to make a name for ourselves. It will be too late to try to get ahead at the last minute."
