"Junior brother, why didn't you go to see Miss Miwu?" Lu Jin followed Yu Qizhe out of Xinglou, and after getting on the carriage, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Yu Qizhe.

"Do you want to see?" Yu Qizhe asked.

Lu Jin shook his head.

Yu Qizhe looked out the curtain, and Lu Jin explained, "You have only been in Beijing for a short time, and you don't know Liu Miwu's fame and talent. If you can discuss poetry and prose with Liu Miwu, you will be the first among the candidates this fall, and you will surely become famous."

"Become famous in the world of romance? What's the point of me becoming famous?" Yu Qizhe retracted his gaze.

Lu Jin said to Yu Qizhe, "You can't say that. You don't have any background and you don't have any connections in the capital. Do you know how many people in the officialdom Liu Miwu is friends with? If you can get to know Liu Miwu, spread the name of your Qingzhou Jieyuan in Xinglou, and get her introduction, why would you need to take a sixth-rank official in the Zhanshi Mansion as your teacher?"

On the first day Yu Qizhe arrived in Beijing, he went to visit Liu Zhanshi's house. Liu Zhanshi was not very enthusiastic and his words were very cold. He said that he would become his disciple after he had tried the test. He only gave him a sign that allowed him to study under Master Shanshui.

It seemed that he looked down on Yu Qizhe's origin from a small place, and was not willing to accept Yu Qizhe as his student as he had stated in the letter to County Magistrate Gao.

Lu Jin looked down on Liu Zhanshi, a mere sixth-rank chancellor who dared to act coquettishly. In his opinion, with his junior fellow's talent and knowledge, he should worship the elder as his teacher.

He invited Yu Qizhe to come to Xinglou to write poetry with the intention of making Yu Qizhe famous in Xinglou. However, when his junior brother heard Liu Miwu's invitation, he refused without a second thought, and did not stay long to chat with others or make some connections. He won the first prize in vain. It's possible that the people in the building couldn't even tell who won the first prize tonight.

Actually, that was not the case. After that night, the poem written by Yu Qizhe in Xinglou became widely circulated among the literati in the capital. The couplet was also carefully studied by a group of old scholars and was regarded as one of the best couplets of all time. At that time, many people knew that there was a scholar named Yu among the candidates for the imperial examination this autumn.

After Chen Guan returned home, she first asked her father if a scholar from Qingzhou had come to visit with his invitation. Her father and the servants in the mansion said that no such person had come.

Shen Guan sent a letter to Qingzhou. She always felt that the scholar named Yu from Qingzhou might be Yu Jiao's brother.

When the results of the autumn examination were announced, Yan Jie'er wrote to her, saying that Doctor Yu's brother had won the first place in the imperial examination and would come to Beijing to take part in the examination soon. In the letter, Yan Jie'er asked for her father's name card for Doctor Yu's brother, and asked her to say a few good words for Doctor Yu's brother in front of her father, asking her father to accept Doctor Yu's brother as his student.

Thinking of how Yu Jiao saved her cousin's life in Qingzhou, Shen Wan went to ask her father for help, and her father agreed to accept this student. If the one who won the first place in Xinglou was really Miss Yu's brother, Shen Wan was puzzled as to why he didn't come to the house with a visiting card.

My father also read the poem written by the scholar named Yu and praised him for his true talent.

As the scholar named Yu became famous in Kyoto, Xiao Yantai became very depressed. Whenever someone talked about the poems written by that scholar, they would always compare them with the poems he wrote that night, saying how much better the other scholar's poems were.

There were also people who saw him talking to Lu Jin, who was traveling with Yu that day, and asked him about the origins of Yu. How could he know that person's origins? If he had known that person was so talented, he should have kicked Lu Jin out that day. Now, not only did he not get to meet Miss Mi Wu, but he also became a topic of conversation for others.

Xiao Yantai couldn't help but suspect that Lu Jin was the nemesis of his closeness to beauties. First it was Liang Wushuang, and now it was Liu Miwu.

Fortunately, Lu Jin has been busy these days, secretly investigating Liang Wushuang's whereabouts. He doesn't know that many people in Beijing are trying to find out about Yu Qizhe from him.
