Once upon a time, there was a scholar who was rushing to take the exam, named Li Wen. He came from a poor family, but he was smart and studious and ambitious. In order to change his fate, he decided to go to the capital to take the imperial examination.
Li Wen carried his bags, said goodbye to his family, and embarked on the road to the exam. On the way, he met a kind old man. The old man asked him, "Young man, are you going to **?"Li Wen replied: "I went to the capital to catch the exam." When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Young man, your future is immeasurable!"Be careful, though. ”
Li Wen listened to the old man's words, and his heart felt warm. He felt that this old man was unusual, so he asked the old man for advice: "Old man, is there anything that needs my attention?"The old man smiled and said, "Remember, don't trust strangers easily, don't be greedy for small gains. ”
Li Wen nodded to indicate that he remembered the old man's teachings. He said goodbye to the old man and continued on his way. Soon he met a young and beautiful woman. The woman claimed to be Li Wen's cousin and invited him to her home. Li Wen thought to himself that it would be good to have a companion on the road, so he agreed to the woman's invitation.
When he arrived at the woman's house, Li Wen found that it was very luxurious. The woman welcomed him warmly and revealed a secret to him: her father was the prime minister of the court and held the power of the court. If Li Wen is willing to marry her, he will be able to rise to prominence in the future.
Li Wen was very moved after hearing this, but he hesitated when he thought of his family background and ambitions. The woman saw what he was thinking and said, "I can help you realize your dreams if you want to." Li Wen thought about it, and finally rejected the woman's proposal.
After saying goodbye to the woman, Li Wen continued on his way. Soon after, he met a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest told him, "Your father is the prime minister of the dynasty, and I am also his friend. He was very happy when he heard that you were coming to the capital to take the exam. He wants to see you. ”
Li Wen was very excited after hearing this, and followed the Taoist priest to a luxurious mansion. Here, he met his father, Lord Li, the prime minister of the dynasty. Master Li hugged Li Wen very happily and told him, "Child, you are finally back!".You've suffered all these years. ”
