After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

Master Ling paused as he spoke and looked at Wang Yugui: "How about it, Mr. Wang, would you like to come to our Huaizhou Ling Embroidery and Textile Company to be a painter?"

Wang Yugui was surprised. He didn't expect that Mr. Ling thought so highly of him that he wanted to poach him to work for the Ling family!

"Master Ling, you think so highly of me, I can't bear to be born late in life!" Wang Yugui said hurriedly

He smiled and added: "Speaking of which, Mr. Lu has been very kind to me. It is my great luck to meet Ms. Lu in Wangtian County."

"How dare you come to Huaizhou City and enter Ling's embroidery workshop!"

"Humph, you are quite self-aware!" Before Master Ling could speak, Master Tan snorted first.

Wang Yugui glanced at Master Tan and did not dare to speak.

Master Ling smiled: "Hey, brother-in-law, Mr. Wang is so humble!"

Then he smiled and said: "Speaking of luck, Mr. Wang, you have to ask our Mr. Zhang."

"Mr. Zhang is proficient in physiognomy and numerology. You can ask him to make a fortune for you!"

"Oh, really? Then I really want to ask Mr. Zhang to help me tell my fortune!" Wang Yugui said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhang Banxian smiled slightly, looked at Wang Yugui and said, "Young Master Wang, it's not difficult to do a fortune telling. Just tell me your birth date!"

When Wang Yugui heard about it, he quickly told his birth date.

I thought: This old man is a famous fortune teller in the city. It is a rare opportunity, so of course I have to let him tell the fortune!

After hearing Wang Yugui's birth date, Zhang Banxian muttered something, counted it with his fingers, and smiled at Master Ling and nodded.

Then he said to Wang Yugui: "My lord, your fortune is very good. Although you were born in a humble family and suffered a lot when you were young, you are born with extraordinary qualities. You can always turn misfortune into good fortune and danger into misfortune."

"Although you may not be rich or wealthy, you won't be too poor either!"

"Mr. Zhang, will I have any luck in the imperial examination? Can I be a scholar?" Wang Yugui asked hurriedly

The rich and poor people Zhang Banxian talked about sounded like clichés to him. What he was most concerned about now was whether he could pass the examination to become a scholar.

After hearing this, Master Ling looked at Wang Yugui: "Master Wang, why do you still want to pursue an official career?"

"Master Ling, that's not true. I just want to be a scholar, so that no one will always say that I am a white man." Wang Yugui said and glanced at Master Tan again.

After hearing this, Mr. Tan coughed and said nothing.

Master Ling listened, smiled, and asked again: "Then Mr. Wang is going to take part in the college examination next year?"

"Hey, I want to participate, but I don't know if I can participate yet."

"We'll have to wait until I take the government examination next month to find out!" Wang Yugui said with a smile.

Master Ling nodded after hearing this: "So, Mr. Wang also participated in the county examination last month? I wonder how he did in the examination?"

"Yes, I took the test. I didn't do well in the exam. I just passed by luck." Wang Yugui smiled sheepishly.

Master Ling was also quite curious, so he asked again: "Young Master Wang, must you be humble? Where did you get in the exam?"

"Oh, Master Ling, I really have no humility. I only got 51st place in the last county examination." Wang Yugui smiled awkwardly.

After hearing this, Master Ling pondered: "No. 51..."

"Hmph, the fifty-first place is the last one!" Mr. Tan snorted again and gave Wang Yugui a rollicking look.

Wang Yugui lowered his head in fright and said: "Master Tan is right, he is indeed the last one!"

"That's why I said I got through it by luck."

"Hahaha..." Zhang Banxian burst into laughter and clapped his hands: "Very good, very good!"

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, why did you say this?" Master Ling asked hurriedly

Zhang Banxian said: "Mr. Ling, I mean that Mr. Wang's luck in the examination is very good!"

"Winning fifty-first is a hundred times more lucky than winning first place!"

"If you are not a person who has excellent luck in taking exams, it will be difficult for you to have such luck."

"Humph, isn't that right? The first place is all based on one's true talent and learning. The last place, of course, depends on luck." Mr. Tan said coldly, and rolled his eyes at Wang Yugui again.

Master Ling listened and smiled: "Brother-in-law, you can't say that."

"I think Mr. Zhang is right. It's rare to have such good luck!"

"Like me, I'm not bad at studying, but every time I take the exam, I'm a little bit unlucky. I always fail my elder brother's exam."

"So, after I won the scholarship, I stopped taking the exam. I wasn't interested in an official career, haha!"

Everyone laughed after hearing this...

Wang Yugui admired Master Ling's free and easy character very much. It turned out that he was also a scholar!

While the three of them were chatting and laughing, the waiter had already served the food and wine. Master Ling raised his glass and said, "Then, let's have a banquet and chat while eating. Everyone can drink and eat as they please!"

Master Ling said that he took a sip of wine first, and everyone started to use chopsticks to start the dinner.

After drinking for three rounds, Master Ling suddenly asked: "Master Wang, are you married?"

Wang Yugui was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He didn't expect that Master Ling would suddenly ask him a personal question!

Master Tan listened to the question and stopped his chopsticks to look at Wang Yugui.

Mr. Zhang was relatively calm, watching Wang Yugui while drinking.

"Master Ling, I am not married yet, but I have verbally agreed on a marriage." Wang Yugui thought for a while and answered truthfully.

Master Ling frowned after hearing this: "What do you mean by verbally deciding on a marriage?"

Master Tan also frowned and stared at Wang Yugui!

"Mr. Ling, it's like this. Originally, I wanted to formally propose marriage, but my future father-in-law despises me for being an idiot." Wang Yugui just said this

After hearing this, Mr. Tan coughed twice again!

After hearing this, Master Ling frowned again: "Oh, there are still such pedantic people?"

Wang Yugui glanced at Mr. Tan and nodded: "Yes, he said that he wants me to take the exam to become a scholar first. Only after I have achieved fame can he agree to marry his daughter to me!"

After hearing this, Mr. Tan choked on the sip of wine he just drank and started coughing again...

Master Ling looked at Master Tan and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you must have been offended by such pedantic people, haha, calm down, calm down, don't get excited!"

"Come on, bring Mr. Tan a cup of tea!"

Then he said to Mr. Tan with great concern: "Brother-in-law, I see that you are always coughing today, so you should drink more tea and less wine!"

"Brother Shou, it's okay, it's okay. I was just drunk and choked." Mr. Tan waved his hand awkwardly.

After saying that, he glared at Wang Yugui and said angrily: "Then can you pass the scholar examination?"

"Yes, I definitely can!" Zhang Banxian spoke.

After everyone heard this, they all looked at Zhang Banxian.

Zhang Banxian put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Master Wang's painting skills are higher than ordinary people, which shows that he is talented and intelligent and has something special about him!"

"Furthermore, I heard that Prince Wang's great skill in painting lies in his extremely fast painting speed."

"Such a person's memory, adaptability, and mobility should be extremely fast. A fool can't do it."

"So, I think that as long as he studies hard, it will not be difficult to become a scholar!"
