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

"gentlemen!"

After shouting, the man didn't respond. Weng Xiao thought he had recognized the wrong person, so he shouted again without giving up.

The person in front of him turned around and looked at Weng Xiaoxiao in surprise, then smiled, "I was wondering who it was? Is it really you?"

Lu Yaowen looked pale and haggard, had lost a lot of weight, and had an unshaved stubble on his chin.

Seeing this, Weng Xiaoxiao had an idea in her mind that this marriage was probably not going well!

"I just entered the city yesterday and came out for a stroll. I was thinking of visiting your house tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Although Lu Yaowen asked them to address each other as brothers, Weng Xiaoxiao was willing to be called sir because of his age and knowledge.

There was no need to hide in front of acquaintances. Lu Yaowen knew that he was in a very bad state now, and laughing was uglier than crying, so he stopped laughing. Weng Xiao had seen him in an even worse state when he failed the exam, so he didn't care.

"Let's go find a place to sit and talk."

Weng Xiaoxiao followed and didn't ask any questions. She just told him about her experience, but she didn't mention the exposure of her gender.

Lu Yaowen was still wondering in his heart, but now he realized that Weng Xiaoxiao was fleeing. However, if she didn't say it, he would not be able to tell from her smiling face.

"What are your plans?"

After sitting down, they both asked at the same time.

Weng Xiaoxiao spoke first without any hesitation, "Sir, please write a letter to Lin Changqing and ask if Debao and his sister have been rescued? How were they settled? I can only feel at ease if they are okay."

"Writing a letter is too slow, so I might as well go over there."

"It would be great if you could make the trip, sir. Thank you very much." Weng Xiaoxiao stood up and saluted.

"You're welcome. Those two siblings are good kids. They've called me sir for so long. How can I just stand there and do nothing?"

"Sir, just go to Wangyuezhai directly. Meeting Lin Changqing there won't attract attention. After all, my father is from the Imperial College and has some connections. You can't let him notice you, otherwise it will only be disadvantageous to you."

Lu Yaowen nodded.

"I left a message for Lin Changqing. My share of the royalties is for them to live on. Sir, remember to collect your share."

Looking at the detailed instructions, Lu Yaowen smiled and said, "You are such a worrywart!"

It seems like there is a little bit...

"Sir, have you returned to the academy to study?"

"Well, since I have nothing to do at home, I might as well go out and study early, teach the scholar, and earn some money. Now that I have come this far, I can't quit even if I don't want to."

Lu Yaowen turned the teacup in his hand and said softly, "At the end of last year, she married the county magistrate as his second wife. Dad didn't write to tell me because he was afraid it would affect the imperial examination."

No wonder...

In this situation, Weng Xiaoxiao couldn't think of any words to comfort others.

“When Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility on a man, it will first test his mind and will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, deprive him of all want, and make him feel frustrated. This is to stimulate his heart and harden his nature, and enable him to do what he could not do before.”

Lu Yaowen shook his head and smiled bitterly. This advice...

You overestimate him!

"Sir, the pain and suffering in your heart means that it is still alive. Just get through this and it will be fine. When you pass the imperial examination and find a good wife in the future, this little thing will be nothing to you!"

He looked embarrassed and was most impatient to hear other people's advice, but Weng Xiaoxiao's words made him suddenly enlightened, especially when he was in such a situation.

"Based on what you said and your mentality, there's no need for me to comfort you. Your father will always regret treating you this way!"

"His regret is useless. People like him must be hit once and for all, and never given a chance to recover. I was naive, thinking of making trouble and causing him some trouble. Humph, who knew he would be so ruthless."

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. This guy... is really..."

"Don't mention him anymore, it's depressing!"

"So what are you going to do? If you're willing, I can help you find a school."

Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I plan to travel thousands of miles first, and go around and see a lot. As for what to do in the future, I can think about it slowly."

"Have you got your pass ready?"

Since you have come this far, you must have done it.

"My last name is Weng, which is my mother's last name. After I had some money, I asked Lin Changqing to help me make a new set of identity documents, but I didn't have a travel permit."

"How did you get here? Didn't you check it?"

"No, oh, maybe it has something to do with this identity! I don't quite understand."

Lu Yaowen took it and took a look. He found that the powerful and wealthy were indeed extraordinary in their work.

"You don't need a pass in Zhili Province, but if you go further and cross the provincial border, you won't be able to use it. Where are you going? Let me think of a way."

Weng Xiaoxiao wanted to go south first, as the south was safe and would not be affected by the war in a few years. She wanted to find a refuge there. Then she would go to the northwest, where there were many business opportunities.

Lu Yaowen was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the young boy opposite him, he was filled with envy.

Can he do this in his life?

It is easy to say that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles are easy, but the journey is hard, and it is not only about beautiful scenery!

"I'll be your guarantor and get you a travel permit to study abroad. I've never done it before, so I can only try my best."

"Thank you, sir. I originally intended to give you the rare book I won during the Lantern Festival as a gift, but now I want to give it to you as a thank you gift." As he said this, he took the bundle and pulled out a book from under his clothes.

Lu Yaowen's eyes twitched as he watched. It was really too casual to treat such a treasure.

He took it without thinking and quickly flattened it with his sleeve.

What a waste of natural resources!

Lu Yaowen had to go and apply for a travel permit and hire a carriage to go to Beijing tomorrow, so he didn't have time to sit down and chat.

"You can come and live with me in the academy. You can attend classes during the day. I will be back with news in four or five days at most. By then, we should have a clear idea about the pass."

"How many people are there in one room of the academy?"

"There are two people in one room. My room has two beds. My roommate has gone home, so there is an empty bed."

"Sir, I have already paid for the room at the inn, so let's stay there first. It would be nice to go to the academy and listen to classes." It's not good to sleep in someone else's bed, but it's not like I can't afford the hotel money.

Lu Yaowen didn't care about these little things and didn't think too much about them.

"Sir, I'll give you five taels of silver as travel expenses. It's not nice to ask you to pay money after you've done the work."

"Weng Xiao, are you making fun of me? This book is not worth money. I have already accepted it shamelessly. Why are you asking me for money?"

Seeing that Lu Yaowen was serious, Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and put the money away, "Then I wish you a safe journey, sir."

"Well, wait for my news. I'll go to the inn to find you when I get back."

Weng Xiaoxiao watched him leave. He looked much more energetic and walked with his head held high and his back straight.

Eight out of ten things in life are not satisfactory, so just look at it and think positively.
