Chapter 98: Hun Yen Kun's Poem

"I'm a student trying for the imperial examinations. I would like to wish the Lim Family Head a prosperous long life and have his blessings."

Hun Yen Kun bowed and gave the guard some bits of silver.

The guard held the bits of silver in his palm, trying to see how much they weighed.

He looked at Hun Yen Kun with his page boys beside him.

Nothing seemed unusual, so he pointed to the side door and said, "Go and choose a seat over there. We will present your gift to the Family Head. If he likes it, he might call you to the main hall."

Hun Yen Kun bowed and went through the side door.

It was a bustling scene inside.

Round tables with plates of delicacies on them.

Sitting around the tables were scholars that looked like Hun Yen Kun.

In the garden not far away, an opera about a general fighting invaders from the North was going on.

Hun Yen Kun sat down at one of the tables, glanced at Lin Fan and Ho Ming.
