It is: Your current talents are not the same as those of Ameng under Wu
Original text of the work
At the beginning, Quan said to Lu Meng: "You are now in charge of Tu." , we must learn from it. "There are many things in the Israeli army." Quan said: "Why do I want you to become a doctor in the classics? Instead, you should dabble in it and see the past. You talk about many things, so who is alone? Reading alone is a great benefit." Meng Nai began to study. When Lu Su passed by Xunyang, he discussed with Meng. He was shocked and said: "The talent you have now is not the same as returning to Wu Xia Amen!" Meng said: "We have been separated for three days, and we treat each other with admiration. How can I see this? It’s too late!” Su then paid homage to Meng’s mother and left as friends. [1] [2]
