The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 330

[Chapter 330: It Turns Out to be an Old Friend]

The officials from the Ministry of Rites laughed even more happily. No matter how they had slandered Lin Tian behind his back before, they were all smiling now.

After weighing the weight of the purses in their hands, they all nodded secretly. The Lin family was really generous.

There must be at least a dozen taels of silver in a purse!

Each of them had a purse in their hands, and they must be the same size and weight.

This would be hundreds of taels of silver. It was indeed the Lin family, generous! After

this round, the officials had a better impression of Lin Tian.

They had also received several champions before, and they all wanted to look down on them. Only Lin Tian was so humble and polite.

“Champion Lin, please!”

Thinking of this, their attitude towards Lin Tian became better.

Lin Tian smiled, straddled his long legs and sat on the horse.

The horse followed the caravan to the street, and the street was already full of men, women, young and old. Everyone wanted to see what the new champion looked like.

“I have to say, Mr. Lin is really handsome!”

A middle-aged woman said, looking at Lin Tian as if she was looking at the pork in the market.

Lin Tian just happened to hear her words and subconsciously looked at the woman.

He thought it was a compliment to him, but after seeing the woman’s eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.

Why is it a bit similar to the way the pork beauty looked at him?

Lin Tian couldn’t help but tremble, shook his head, got rid of the things in his mind, and continued to look ahead attentively.

“Mr. Lin! Mr. Lin looked at me!”

However, Lin Tian’s eyes just now made many women misunderstand.

“You are talking nonsense, Mr. Lin is clearly looking at me!”

Another woman was jealous.

Their words attracted the attention of others.

“Don’t you look at your big face? How could Mr. Lin like you?”

“You are big and fat, you are not much better!”

As soon as this topic was raised, several women immediately became jealous.

Several people chased and fought, and occasionally slapped each other’s faces with handkerchiefs.

After several rounds, some people could no longer hold back and wanted to fight, and there was a commotion in the crowd.

Fortunately, there were officials watching on the roadside. Seeing that a fight was about to break out, they immediately sent people to pull them apart.

“Don’t think that Master Lin will be interested in you. What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?!”

“Do you think he will be interested in you? Don’t even spit at you. Look at what you look like!”

The two women who were pulled apart were still tit for tat, unwilling to lose the upper hand.

“If you want to quarrel, go home and quarrel. Don’t block us from seeing Master Lin here!”

said the other women who did not join the war.

When these few people spoke up, the others also spoke up to criticize them.

Seeing this, the two women who provoked the dispute immediately fell silent.

They didn’t want to be driven away. They got up early today to stand in this excellent position.

If they were driven back, wouldn’t their efforts for the whole day be in vain?

“Humph!”

“Humph!”

After thinking about this, the two stopped talking, but they still snorted disdainfully at each other.

Then she started to fix her makeup, hair and clothes. She had spent a lot of effort to dress up early this morning.

After all this pulling and pulling, her body was a little messy, and she had to tidy it up quickly.

Lin Tian saw all this farce, but he just shook his head helplessly, feeling a little complacent.

I didn’t expect that there would be women vying for me. It seems that this champion was not useless!

Lin Tian was quite complacent, but as he rode his horse through the streets, he suddenly remembered a poem written by an ancient person.

“The spring breeze is full of pride and the horse’s hooves are galloping. I can see all the flowers in Chang’an in one day.”

Isn’t this what he is in now?

He can be regarded as having a spring breeze today. Those who looked down on him before have now been severely slapped in the face.

Although Lin Tian has never cared about the opinions of outsiders, he doesn’t want to carry the reputation of a fool all the time.

And the so-called seeing all the flowers in Chang’an in one day refers to the beauties in the capital.

However, he was always in front of beauties like Gu Man’er and Lu Wan’er in the Lin Mansion, so he didn’t care much about the so-called beauties in the capital.

But it still felt good to be admired by these people, and Lin Tian felt a little flattered.

When he came to an intersection, he saw the runner-up and third place winners coming from the other two sides.

And the third place winner seemed familiar.

“Mr. Zhou?”

After walking in, Lin Tian discovered that this Tanhua was Zhou Li whom he had met in Suzhou City before.

Previously, it was said that Zhou Shusheng cheated in the provincial examination, so he was disqualified. Later, Lin Tian specially sent someone to investigate.

He found that all this was groundless, so he secretly sent someone to deliver the evidence to Zhou Shusheng.

Zhou Shusheng must have made good use of these evidences, otherwise he would not have come to the capital.

“Lin Tian!”

Zhou Shusheng also found Lin Tian when he passed by, and he shouted in surprise.

The second place next to him was also attracted by him, and turned his head to look at Lin Tian.

This place is also the eldest son of a scholarly family in the capital, named Zhao Feiyang, who is as high-spirited as his name on weekdays.

I thought he could get the first place, but I didn’t expect a dark horse to come out halfway, so he was not happy to get the second place.

At the same time, he also hated Lin Tian.

“You are promising, I didn’t expect to see you in the capital so soon!”

Lin Tian just glanced at Zhao Feiyang. The two had no intersection at all, so he didn’t care much.

So he turned around and greeted Zhou Li.

Zhou Li also seemed extremely excited. Lin Tian could be said to be his savior.

And later, he was able to redress his injustice with the help of Lin Tian.

“I have to thank Master Lin for his help, otherwise, I would not have this opportunity.”

Zhou Li said to Lin Tian with gratitude.

He had just cleared his grievances some time ago and successfully applied for the palace examination. He was almost late when he rushed to the examination room.

Fortunately, he had accumulated a lot in his daily life, and the essays and poems he wrote also had the precipitation of experience.

So this time, although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable to win the third place.

“I saw you from a distance, and I thought you were someone else, but I didn’t expect it to be an old friend.”

Lin Tian also smiled, but did not refute Zhou Li’s words.

Indeed, when he sent people to find evidence for Zhou Li, he also spent a lot of thought.

I don’t know who Zhou Li had offended, and someone would go to such great lengths to deal with him.

But fortunately, it’s all over now, and Zhou Li has cleared his grievances.
