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

Zhao Yanchen had been paying attention to Yang Lin's expression. When she saw the sword in Liang Bin's hand, she showed a trace of regret and began to introduce it, "This sword belonged to a female general in the previous dynasty. It's a little light, but it's extremely sharp. It's a rare fine product."

Liang Bin didn't know there was such an allusion. He only heard that Caitou was a good sword, so he, a martial arts fanatic, wanted to get it. Unexpectedly, it was used by a female general. Then he looked at Yang Lin belatedly. She disguised herself as a man to fight for it. I guess she likes this sword very much! It is just right for a woman like Yang Lin to use it.

If it was just given away for free, people might not be willing to accept it. Liang Bin didn't know how to ask, when he heard Lin Changqing say, "Brother Liang, this sword is not suitable for you. Are you willing to give it up?"

"I practice hard kung fu, so this amount is indeed a little light for me. Mr. Lin, do you want it?"

Lin Changqing shook his head and looked at Yang Lin. "I don't know martial arts, but my sister likes it. If Brother Liang is willing to give it up, I will naturally want my sister to get what she wants."

"Miss Yang's kung fu is first-rate, and this sword is a perfect match for her. She should give way to you."

"I'll pay for it. I'll have to accept the loss. It's not good to take advantage of you for nothing." Seeing Liang Bin's generosity, Yang Lin quickly said.

"Just give me whatever you think is appropriate." It would be inappropriate not to take the money, so Liang Bin agreed with a smile.

"Haha, great!" Lin Changqing stood up and filled everyone's glasses with wine. He also pulled Zhao Yanchen to sit between him and Liang Bin.

The Yang family had been guarding the border for generations, so they were inevitably suspected by the emperor. In order to show their loyalty, they only married into small families with no power or civil servants, and did not dare to get involved with powerful people. Although the Zhongxin Marquis's Mansion had a title, it had long collapsed inside. Only Lin Changqing's father had a fourth-rank idle position to support the situation.

Therefore, Yang Lin's marriage options are very limited, and the person will not be too outstanding. Lin Changqing loves this cousin very much and only hopes that her cousin can marry someone who truly loves her.

As a man, Lin Changqing thought Zhao Yanchen was a good person. At least, he was sincere towards Yang Lin. Therefore, he was willing to give him a chance.

Lin Changqing raised his glass first, "Meeting is fate. Today is the Lantern Festival. I wish you all your wishes come true and everything goes well."

Everyone stood up and toasted to each other. Everyone was satisfied with today's event. They talked happily and felt sorry for meeting each other too late.

Where there is gathering, there is separation.

Liang Bin left with a deposit of 100 taels of silver. He was delighted not because he got the silver, but because he had some money left so he could see Yang Lin again.

Lin Changqing went to pay the bill, and Yang Lin followed him and stayed behind.

Seeing Zhao Yanchen looking at her so passionately, the dashing female warrior felt a little embarrassed. "I'm not an ordinary lady from a noble family. I really don't understand why you like me? Is it just because of this face? Besides, my grandfather will decide my marriage. It's useless for you to put in so much effort on me."

This is a rare opportunity to spend time together. As long as Yang Lin is willing to talk to him, Zhao Yanchen doesn’t care what she says. He won’t back down anyway.

"There are many good-looking people, but I just like you. I like you no matter what you look like. My father will come to propose marriage. Before that, I hope you can accept me sincerely, not because of your parents' orders or the matchmaker's words."

Yang Lin knew that Zhao Yanchen was not a playboy and was very good at business. She did not despise the low status of businessmen. The Zhao family was more respectable in the capital than their general's mansion and was a guest of honor of the prime minister.

Not accepting it simply means that you don’t like this person.

After refusing many times and seeing that it was still the same, Yang Lin shook her head and left first.

......

When they got home, Debao and Kangbao had already returned.

Lu Yaowen's whole mind was on the rare copy. He asked Weng Xiaoxiao to borrow it to have a look and then hurried back to his room.

When the book box was opened, there was a layer of red silk wrapped inside. He carefully took it out and placed it on the table. After opening it, he saw the true appearance of the book. It turned out to be the manuscript of the great scholar Gong Bingzhang in his later years.

As a scholar, Lu Yaowen is very clear about the value of this book, which is a priceless treasure.

The prize was not his, but he was lucky to be able to hold it in his hands and read it quietly for a night. The pride of a scholar prevented him from having the slightest thought of claiming it for himself.

Weng Xiaoxiao slept soundly all night. Jiang Liangcai's appearance had no effect on her. She had already thrown her bad mood into Java. When she woke up, it was already daybreak.

Lu Yaowen, who had not slept all night, finished reading the rare copy and copied it again, then gave it to Weng Xiaoxiao.

Weng Xiaoxiao knew the value of a rare copy, but she didn't value it, and since she wasn't interested in studying, it was useless except for show. However, seeing that Mr. Lu was determined not to accept it, she didn't force him.

......

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is February, and the spring examination is approaching.

Being alone outside, Lu Yaowen had long been accustomed to taking care of himself. Now that he had enough money, he had already prepared many things he would need for the examination room.

Weng Xiaoxiao knew the equipment that the heroine in the book would bring to the exam, so she went to the pharmacy to buy some common medicines to be prepared. She also went to the temple to ask for a peace amulet so that Lu Yaowen could take the exam with peace of mind.

It was something he had not expected, and Lu Yaowen accepted it with a smile. It was the first time for a teacher like him to be cared for by a student. He just felt warm in his heart, without any embarrassment.

February 9th is the first day of the Spring Examination.

Early in the morning, Aunt Chen made a big bowl of white noodles for Lu Yaowen and added two poached eggs.

"I wish Mr. Lu a smooth exam and a satisfactory result."

Lu Yaowen is a cold-hearted person, but the care and concern given to him by his students and neighbors makes this man of state feel like it is March in the cold early spring, and he is warm from the inside out.

After breakfast, Weng Xiaoxiao carried the book box, Debao carried the bedding, and Chen Cheng carried the backpack full of food and some necessities. The three of them sent Lu Yaowen to the Imperial Examination Hall in a mighty manner.

For most candidates, the Spring Examination is the last one of the imperial examinations, and only those who make the list have the opportunity to take the palace examination.

The inspection before entering the Imperial Examination Hall is particularly strict. Everything you bring will be checked one by one. If there is any cheating, you will be disqualified from the exam.

......

After sending Lu Yaowen to the examination room, Chen Cheng was going to perform on the overpass, Debao continued to be a street vendor, and there was also a special task given by Weng Xiaoxiao.

"Brother Chen, if you have the opportunity, would you be willing to do something else to make a living?" Weng Xiaoxiao asked.
