I'm the one running the game

"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 made a special trip here to wait for you." Lu Xingshi said the word "special trip" 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..." At this point, Meng Shu smiled bitterly, 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's another story. Director Qi is indeed no match for Secretary Sha, but Director Qi picked up a sniper rifle, and Secretary Sha panicked.

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 is indeed reasonable, 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 next.

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 his many years of life, this was not the first time that someone had made gold coins, but it was the first time that someone had stolen his money.

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 this poisonous chicken soup, 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 whole street became empty, and the peddlers and hawkers stopped, just like pressing 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 chatted with Lu Xingshi on his own.

Lu Xingshi pretended not to see this strange scene, and chatted with Meng Shu, mostly about the Fu family and saying good things to Fu Wang.

"The head of the Fu family is really reasonable. I had the same idea as you before. I thought the other party would break up the couple."

"In the end, I never thought it would be such a solution. Fortunately, he has only one daughter. If there is another son, you probably won't have a chance." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

Having a son means having an heir, so Fu Qing's biggest possibility is to find a suitable person to marry.

With Meng Shu's background, it's impossible.

Prejudice is like a chasm that can't be crossed.

"Mr., what you said is very true." Meng Shu followed and agreed with Lu Xingshi's statement.

Fortunately, the two of them stopped chatting soon because they had arrived at the Fu Mansion.

"Please inform me that 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 and went into the mansion, obviously triggering some mechanism.

Not long after, a steward with a stiff face came out. There was no intersection, only Meng Shu was talking to himself, as if he was communicating.

Then he followed the steward into the mansion. During the period, the steward didn't say anything, just put on a stiff face.

Lu Xingshi didn't say much, and followed Meng Shu into the Fu Mansion together.

"Huangliang Dream..." Lu Xingshi muttered softly, 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 to ask.

Lu Xingshi didn't answer, but shook his head.

Meng Shu didn't ask further, and the two arrived at the location soon.

"My dear nephew, have you figured it out?" Fu Wang's voice came.

In the crowd of stiff people, Fu Wang, who is so lively, is simply an outlier.

The other party's eyes fell on Lu Xingshi again, as if he had expected it: "Lecturer Lu came to visit, and I, Fu, am honored."

However, Lu Xingshi looked at Meng Shu and then at Fu Wang.

"One of you two has a problem, or it is possible that both of you have a problem." He spoke directly.

Fu Wang and Meng Shu were stunned at the same time. They didn't understand what Lu Xingshi was talking about.

"I think it is most likely that you have a problem." Lu Xingshi placed the suspicion on Fu Wang. Ancient etiquette can kill people. How dare the other party put his daughter in Luyang College full of men to study? This is not in line with the thinking of this world at all.

Meng Shu's behavior, if there was no Lu Xingshi's deception, he was actually a normal reaction.

If Fu Wang was also stupid, then Lu Xingshi's target would be Meng Shu, but unfortunately he was not, and he was very flexible.

"Oh? Then please let Lecturer Lu talk about it." Fu Wang smiled.

He looked like he had everything under control, as if he had Lu Xingshi in his grasp.

Lu Xingshi also smiled.

"No need to be so troublesome. If you talk about it, you have to start from the beginning. I might as well speed it up." Lu Xingshi didn't plan to explain anything to the other party.

It was already troublesome enough to fool Meng Shu. The other party looked like the big boss behind the scenes, so he could just use force.

Four demon shadows emerged and released their original huge bodies, directly breaking the entire Fu Mansion.

The huge demon shadow stared at Fu Wang with a fierce look, and took action immediately.

Meng Shu was so scared when he saw this scene that he rolled and crawled. He didn't understand why Lu Xingshi took action as soon as he saw Fu Wang.

Boom~

A mountain emerged, easily blocking the four demon shadows.

"Master Lu, don't show off your tricks in front of me. Show your real abilities." Fu Wang's voice came with a strong disdain in his tone.

"Otherwise, people will think that your deeds of killing immortals in the capital are just a name in vain."

Fu Wang seemed to be irritating Lu Xingshi.

Lu Xingshi said without caring at all: "You are right, I am just a name in vain, if you have the ability, hit me."

This answer made Fu Wang feel a little bit at a loss for words, especially the last sentence, which was simply something that only a scoundrel would say, without any demeanor of a great man.
