The Food Chain of Devoted Fans in the Capital
This statement immediately caught the attention of the surrounding scholars. Their eyes lit up, and they looked at the child dressed as a book boy in surprise.
Even the plump scholar seemed a bit astonished. Although the riddle wasn't difficult, a ten-year-old child responding faster than many adults was quite remarkable.
"You're a clever kid. Here, take the money!" The plump scholar handed over the silver coin.
Since Zhongren was following behind Gu Lan, the scholar handed the silver to Gu Lan. The scholars around them showed envy and admiration.
"Brother, this book boy is a child prodigy!"
"Train him well; he'll surely achieve great things in the future!"

Although the scholars were envious of the silver coin, they couldn't be jealous of a child at this moment. They could only praise him as if acting in an elder's position.
