Chapter 440: First deceive, then pour poisonous chicken soup into death
"Meng Shu, how is the marriage proposal going today?"
Lu Xingshi's voice fell on Meng Shu's ears, awakening the confusion in Meng Shu's mind.
On the one hand, there are etiquette and dogma, on the other hand, there is long-term love, and he can't give up either one.
"Mr. Lu, why are you here?" Meng Shu did not answer Lu Xingshi's answer, but asked a question.
"You asked me yesterday, and I felt uneasy, so I came here to wait for you." Lu Xingshi said the word "special journey" very seriously.
This made Meng Shu couldn't help but reveal a wry smile: "Thank you for your concern, sir. Student, I...oh, I can't say enough."
"Uncle Fu treats me very well, he just wants me to marry him."
"But I am determined to take the imperial examination. If I become a son-in-law..." Meng Shu smiled bitterly at this point, looking helpless.
"The official career in the imperial examination is the great road to the sky in Dazhao. However, thousands of troops and horses cross the single-plank bridge. Do you think you have a chance of passing the examination with your literary talents?" Lu Xingshi asked slowly.
He was not in a hurry to take action, but was observing Meng Shu to see if he was the Earthly God of Houde.
Even if the merit and karma system collapses, it has little to do with him. For the time being, he has no way to exploit this loophole like the gods.
He was already in the immortal class, and Lu Xingshi was still cultivating in the Tao. He was at a different level, so naturally he couldn't see more.
As for why he was able to kill the immortals, that was another story. Director Qi was indeed no match for Secretary Sha, but Director Qi picked up a sniper rifle, and Secretary Sha was in panic.
He can't compare to others in terms of cultivation and moral skills, but he can fight and cheat Lu Xingshi if he can't defeat him.
"This... is one in ten thousand." When Meng Shu heard Lu Xingshi's words, his expression showed helplessness.
The one who passed the examination did not mean that he was admitted to university or graduate school in modern times, but that he was directly admitted to the official establishment or directly became a county magistrate candidate at the division level.
How could it be so easy to win?
If he really wanted to succeed, Fu Wang would not dare to recruit him as his son-in-law, not to mention other things.
Of course, Meng Shu was destined to have no connection with Fu Qing. Only if he became a Jinshi would he be eligible to marry a wife.
At this level, Meng Shu and Fu are actually on an equal level. It would be even more extraordinary if they were the number one scholar in high school.
But that was in the past. In today's world, becoming the emperor is not a good thing, let alone the number one scholar in high school.
"Then what else do you have to consider? One has a promising future, while the other has a bleak future. It's not easy to choose which one." Lu Xingshi joked.
"What you said makes sense, but... I still want to give it a try." Meng Shu was very moved, but he was unwilling to become a son-in-law for the rest of his life.
"You want both, but the final result is to lose both."
"Do you think Fu's daughter can wait for you?" Lu Xingshi complained. The scholar's social status is not bad, but it is not as good as Fu's.
It’s not about lifting people up.
When Meng Shu came to Lu Xingshi, he actually valued Lu Xingshi's status as a "juren". After all, such a young "juren" would indeed have a higher social status.
Who knows whether Lu Xingshi will take the exam again.
Meng Shu reacted as if he really couldn't wait. If he refused, then Fu Wang would definitely prepare to recruit a son-in-law as soon as possible, and he would definitely miss it.
Even if he passed the exam, everything would be over, and he would naturally be helpless.
The husbands and sons-in-law have been recruited, but he can still hinder them.
"Can't wait..." His reply was hoarse.
"Yes, then what else are you thinking about? Could it be that in your eyes, Fu's daughter is not as good as your career?"
"If that's the case, I must have misjudged you."
"If you dare to admit it at this time, it is said to be a sincere love. If you give up for the sake of career, you are just a mediocre person who followed the influence of others and wanted to use the Fu family to climb up." Lu Xingshi directly started to deceive Meng Shu.
Needless to say, the effect is still very good, at least Meng Shu is no longer confused.
"Thank you sir for your advice. I happened to meet you, and I dare to ask you to go to the Fu Mansion together to prove this matter for the students." Meng Shu invited directly.
Lu Xingshi was speechless. He came here to observe you, but it turned out that you were lucky enough to grab a handful of his wool.
In all his years of life, this was not the first time that someone had made gold coins, but it was the first time that someone had taken advantage of him.
However, he didn't intend to refuse. He just needed to study the other party's situation.
Lu Xingshi always felt that Meng Shu didn't look like a virtuous god from the earth.
All we had to do was dissect him to see his body structure. There was nothing wrong with him inside and out, he looked like an ordinary person.
"Forget it, I couldn't make it in time, so the icing on the cake has to go." Lu Xingshi said immediately.
"Sir, you are joking. If it weren't for your words that woke up the dreamer, my student, I would still be confused and unable to control myself."
"Such a great kindness is much more important than providing help in times of need." Meng Shu was still very grateful to Lu Xingshi for the poisonous chicken soup. Without it, he didn't know how long he would have struggled.
After all, no one knows whether he can pass the imperial examination and make a class jump, and the imperial examination is just the beginning. If you want to marry, you have to be a Jinshi. Then you have to compete with the world's elite, and the success rate is really slim.
If he really had this ability, he wouldn't still be studying in the academy.
"Okay, let's lead the way. I've only been in Luyang Mansion for a short time, so I don't recognize Fu Mansion." Lu Xingshi said with a smile. When Meng Shu saw this, he also bowed: "I don't dare bother you, sir, to lead the way."
As he said that, he led the way.
As Meng Shu changed his mind, Lu Xingshi found that the entire street had become empty, and the original traffickers and lackeys had also stopped, as if they had pressed the pause button.
Everyone stared at Lu Xingshi and Meng Shu with burning eyes.
But unlike Lu Xingshi, Meng Shu didn't notice the strangeness at all, but kept chatting with Lu Xingshi on his own.
Lu Xingshi pretended that he had not seen this strange scene and chatted with Meng Shu. Most of the conversation was about the Fu family and saying good things to Fu Wang.
"The head of the Fu family is indeed reasonable. I had the same idea as you before. I thought that the other party would beat the mandarin duck."
"I never thought it would be a solution like this. Fortunately, he is an only daughter. If you had another son, you probably wouldn't have a chance." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.
Having a son means having an heir, so the most likely possibility for Fu Qing is to find a well-matched person to marry.
With Meng Shu's background, it was simply impossible.
The view of the door is like a chasm that cannot be crossed.
"What you said is absolutely true." Meng Shu responded, and he also agreed with Lu Xingshi's statement.
Fortunately, the two of them stopped chatting quickly because Fu Mansion had arrived.
"Excuse me, Meng Shu is here to visit." Meng Shu said to a gatekeeper at the door.
The gatekeeper stared at the two of them, then moved towards the house, apparently triggering some mechanism.
Not long after, a steward with a stiff face came out. There was no interaction, only Meng Shu was talking to himself, as if communicating.
Then he followed the steward into the house. During this period, the steward didn't say anything and just had a stiff face.
Lu Xingshi didn't say much and followed Meng Shu directly into Fu's mansion.
"Huang Liang Meng..." Lu Xingshi muttered quietly, mainly because this scene was indeed very familiar. He had seen a replica of the scene before.
"What?" Meng Shu didn't hear what Lu Xingshi said clearly, so he turned around and asked.
Lu Xingshi did not answer, just shook his head.
Meng Shu did not go into details, and the two quickly arrived at the location.
"My dear nephew, have you figured it out?" Fu Wang's voice came.
In a crowd of stiff people, a lively person like Fu Wang is simply an anomaly.
The other party's eyes fell on Lu Xingshi again, as if he had expected it: "Lecturer Lu is here to visit, and Mr. Fu is in full bloom."
However, Lu Xingshi looked at Meng Shu and then at Fu Wang.
"One of you two has a problem, or both of you may have a problem." He spoke directly.
Fu Wang and Meng Shu were stunned at the same time. They had no idea what Lu Xingshi was talking about.
"I think you are most likely to have a problem." Lu Xingshi put the suspicion on Fu Wang. Ancient ethics can kill people. How dare the other party send his daughter to Luyang College, which is full of men? This is simply not in line with the thinking of this world.
Meng Shu's behavior, if not for Lu Xingshi's deception, was actually a normal reaction.
If Fu Wang was also dull and stupid, then Lu Xingshi's target would be Meng Shu, but unfortunately he is not, he is also very flexible.
"Oh? Then please ask Professor Lu to explain." Fu Wang smiled.
He looked like he had a lot of wisdom, and he looked like he was determined by Lu Xingshi.
Lu Xingshi also showed a smile.
"Don't go to such trouble. You have to start from the beginning. How about I speed it up." Lu Xingshi had no intention of explaining anything to the other party.
It's troublesome enough to fool Meng Shu. The other party looks like the boss behind the scenes, so he can just use force.
Four demonic figures emerged and released their originally huge size, directly bursting the entire Fu Mansion.
The huge demonic figure stared at Fu Wang eagerly, and immediately moved his hands.
When Meng Shu saw this scene, he was so frightened that he rolled over. He simply didn't understand why Lu Xingshi took action as soon as he saw Fu Wang.
Boom~
A mountain appeared, easily blocking the four demonic figures.
"Taoist Master Lu, stop showing off such trivial tricks in front of my eyes. Use your true skills." Fu Wang's voice came, with a strong disdain in his tone.
"Otherwise, it will only make people think that your plan to kill immortals in the capital is just in vain."
Fu Wang seemed to be irritating Lu Xingshi.
But Lu Xingshi said without caring at all: "You are right, I am just a vain person, you can beat me if you can."
This answer made Fu Wang choke, and he didn't know how to answer, especially the last sentence. It was just something that a rogue would say, and it didn't have any powerful demeanor at all.
