Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 121
On the day of Lixia, two major events happened in the capital.

One is Chunwei's release of the list, and the other is the Queen Mother's return to Beijing.

In Lu Guogong's mansion, the sound of servants burning fire and chopping vegetables could be heard early in the morning.

The blade made a series of quick muffled clicks on the cutting board.

On the day when the rankings are announced, all those who have descendants of the scientific examination at home have to eat a bowl of hot dumplings before morning.

The old man said, this is Nafu.

On weekdays, the fire was cooked and cooked in the kitchen, but today, all the things were moved outside, which seemed a bit solemn.

Mrs. Lu was sitting in front of the dressing table and was doing her makeup when Bai Lu came in with a bowl of smoking dumplings, gasping for breath as she walked.

"It's still hot, Miss, hurry up and eat to feel happy." Bai Lu put the bowl on the table, and pinched her ears with her red hands.

"You don't know how to bring a tray." Lu Ziyu frowned, put down the black brush in his hand, grabbed Bai Lu's little hand and spread it out to look, "Is it red?"

Bai Lu grinned and shook her head, "The cooks forgot to take the tray, I want to give the miss a warm meal, so I won't go back to the back kitchen to get it."

The maids in Lanyue Pavilion are very nice to their young lady, and they are well aware of their preferences and pickiness.

This stuffed thing, my lady only eats it hot, and she doesn't like to taste it after letting it cool down a bit.

Lu Ziyu took the jade chopsticks from Luo Ning, put one in his mouth and nibbled, "Not bad! The mutton stuffing is very fresh."

As soon as she praised her like this, Bai Lu's eyes narrowed with a smile, "The servant said that this food tastes best when it's hot."

The dumpling lying on the ground yelled, attracting everyone's attention.

It touched its own jade bowl with its small thick legs, and spit out its pink tongue and twirled it around its mouth.

It clearly means that it is hungry.

Ever since Tuanzi moved into Duke Lu's mansion these few days, his calf has never stopped, and every time he enters Lanyue Pavilion, he is disgraced.

I don't know, I thought it went into a dog hole.

But it looks good when it was born, and its little head droops, and anyone who sees it wants to rub it twice.

A few days ago, Ah Lu was holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and when he saw it, he wouldn't go away, sitting on the ground and staring at Ah Lu.

Good guy, Ah Lu peeled melon seeds for this young master all afternoon.

And yesterday, Bai Liyao brought many small toys specially made for it, and played like crazy all day.

Now that Duke Lu's mansion is favored when it comes to mentioning it, it is estimated that apart from the fourth wife of the Lu family, it is this chubby little thing.

"What's the matter, you want to eat too?" Lu Ziyu smiled and glanced lazily at the little guy on the ground who was begging for food.

Tuanzi stretched out his little head and rubbed the beauty's jade legs.

The maids in the room couldn't help laughing.

"Come on, go with your sister Bai Lu and ask her to serve you some." Lu Ziyu picked up the coquettish little dumpling on the ground and handed it to Bai Lu.

Originally, it wanted to toss a little more, but when it saw Bai Lu bent down to pick up her own small bowl, it suddenly became more honest.

It's a good day today, Lu Siniang wore a skirt with lotus silk and auspicious clouds and emerald patterns, the material is light and soft, and she walks like walking on clouds, giving off a fragrance.

In the hair bun, a peony jade hairpin was inserted.

It was her birthday last year, and her elder brother gave it to her.

When Ah Lu came to report the time, the carriage of Duke Lu's mansion was already waiting outside.

Today, except for Lu Zhimu, who was on an errand, who was dispatched to Zhuquemen to meet the Queen Mother, the rest of the people were all going to the Gongyuan to watch the list.

The troika drove out from Qingshui Lane.

Lu Jinyan and Shen Lan rode together at the front, the two older brothers of the Lu family in the middle, and Lu Siniang and Bai Liyao at the end.

When the troika stopped at the gate of the Gongyuan, the list had not yet started.Tong Yun couldn't wait any longer, so he ran to the front of the list to take a good position.

If he turned his head carefully, he could see that Ji Xiang from Zuo Xiang's mansion was also crowding to read the list.

When the sun was about to catch up with Zhengyang, the door of the Gongyuan was opened.

Lin Youzhi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, came out with a high-spirited face and a loud voice, "The auspicious time has come, release the list."

At the entrance of the Gongyuan, there is a wooden sign dedicated to posting rankings.

Several servants from the Ministry of Rituals came out of the tribute courtyard with a bucket of batter, first painted a layer on the wooden sign, and then pasted the yellow paper on it.

When the Chun Wei list came out, the whole street was full of chaotic voices, one could hear crying, laughing and cursing, and one could also see sadness and joy.

"I hit it, I hit it."

"Father and mother, the child is not filial, huh"

"Never again. Never again"

Hearing the voices outside the carriage, Lu Ziyu felt extremely uneasy, wondering why Tong Yun didn't come back to deliver the news.

"Grandpa, Madam, Young Master, Miss, we have won, our young master has won!" Before Lu Ziyu could raise his heart for a while, Tong Yun happily squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards Lu's carriage.

As soon as he yelled, the curtains of the troika were lifted.

"Did you hit it? Really hit it? Have you looked carefully!" Lu Jinyan hurriedly asked Tong Yun.

Tong Yun kept nodding with red eyes, too happy to speak.

Lu Jinyan withdrew his head protruding from the outside, and sat in the carriage panting for a few breaths, while Shen Lan also followed his back with tears in her eyes without saying a word, the two of them stared at each other and choked.

There are many sons in my family, but only one is willing to study steadily.

Everyone knows that the most boring thing in the world is reading.Waking up in the morning and falling asleep in the middle of the night has been like this for more than ten years, day after day.

But even though there are thousands of boring things, Lu Zhiting is still willing to kneel and recite the Four Books patiently.
He is planning for the family for a hundred years, for the enjoyment of his parents when they are old, and for his siblings to have a shade of a tree to enjoy the cool.

After hearing what A Lu said, Lu Zhichen laughed and whispered in his elder brother's ear, as if he had been hit by it.

But Lu Zhiting's ears were numb and buzzing, and he couldn't hear half a word Lu Sanshao said.

He hit it, and he knew he could hit it.

But after getting the news, he still couldn't help trembling, and the robe on his knees was tightly held in his hands.

After studying hard for more than ten years, Han Chuang finally paid off.

Lu Ziyu, who was at the back, smiled and called Tong Yun, "But how many do you see on the list?"

Tong Yun scratched his head and became confused, "There are so many people, I didn't see clearly."

Lu Ziyu knew that it was not easy for Duo Tongyun, the spectator, to squeeze in, so he smiled reassuringly at him, "Wait." She got back into the carriage, put on a curtain and got off the carriage, "Come on, let's see Look."

It's not that she insists on a certain ranking, there will be a palace test after Chunwei, if she can figure out the origin of this ranking, she can also spend some effort to make her brother beat him in the palace test.

If he really wins the first prize, it will be easier to ask for marriage at Zuo Xiang's mansion.

Sister Qiong's temperament and appearance are both excellent, and she agrees with her elder brother in love, which is really a good relationship.

Tong Yun squeezed in front of the crowd, "opening the way" for his young lady in a hurry.

Lu Ziyu followed behind him, carefully protecting his appearance.

After finally squeezing in, he looked at the wooden sign to find his brother's name.

Ranked high, ranked third.

Looking at the name of the previous person, it was Yan Huaijin, who was the number one in the Chunwei Examination.

Lu Ziyu said his name tenderly, as if he remembered this person in his heart.

She didn't know that there was a young man with a jade face and a thin face behind her. When she heard her whispering "Yan Huaijin", his body froze suddenly.
