Chapter 89
The silence in the palace created invisible pressure on the hearts of some people in Beijing.Lu Qingshan was also a little uneasy, he was walking back and forth at home, seeing Lu Weimang dizzy.

"Father, sit down and rest for a while. When there is a result, it will naturally come out. It's useless for you to break your leg here."

Lu Weimang said while drinking hot tea and eating dry barley cake.

Seeing that his daughter was so leisurely, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but said, "Girl, why don't you know how to be impatient? Hey, if I knew it, I shouldn't have let you come forward that day. Father should go to the Princess's Mansion for an explanation. Why? Let you be humiliated in vain and let everyone criticize you."

In the past few days, the troublemakers in Beijing have clearly checked the ins and outs of Lu Weimang's disturbance that day in the princess's mansion. Not only was someone at the Ma Na table in the front yard making rude remarks and asked Lu Weimang and a woman to accompany him to drink, but also Even when Lu Weimang stood at the door the whole time, the details such as the banknotes that fell on the ground and the little money that the princess thought was not eye-catching, etc., he said it vividly, as if it was right in front of his eyes.

As soon as the details came out, the city of Kyoto was full of excitement, as if they were all incarnations of judges, pointing out the country, some said that the princess's mansion was domineering and disrespectful, some said that Lu Weimang did the right thing, a man was born in this world and cannot be humiliated like this, even if he is face to face For the clan, you have to be mighty and unyielding.Others said that Lu Weimang made a fuss out of a molehill, a few quarrels, talking and laughing and it went away, but it turned out to be such a big fuss, narrow-minded, and hard to take on a big responsibility.

No matter what the purpose of the rumor spreader is, the princess' mansion and Lu Weimang, who are the center of the topic, are undoubtedly the most affected.Especially Lu Weimang, she entered the court as a woman, and she was already carrying a lot of prejudice, but now there is another trouble.If Lu Weimang or the Lu family were ordinary nobles and paid great attention to boudoir reputation, I am afraid that they would already want to die by now.

The intentions of the people behind the scenes are not vicious.

Lu Qingshan was worried about this, he didn't think his daughter was doing too much, he just felt sorry for his daughter being criticized and becoming a gossip in the mouths of everyone in the capital.

Lu Weimang got up and dragged his father over to sit down, and handed him a cup of hot tea, "Drink a cup of tea and calm down. Things have already happened, worrying is useless, so just calm down. And, although this matter has been ulterior motives People want to promote it, but it's exactly what I want."

Lu Qingshan was shocked, "Girl, your idea is too radical, you don't know the power of this rumor to kill people."

Lu Weimang shook his head, "Father, I know, but there is one thing I can't escape, that is, I am a woman, and I am not the kind of woman who is all-round and exquisite. As a woman but an official, there are always secrets. Bias exists.

So I just took advantage of this opportunity of rumors to give everyone a chance to open up. Some things are covered up, and they become secretive and deeply ingrained. If you break it in time, it will make them accept it faster.

And prejudices are common, can I go to debate and correct their prejudices one by one?Can't.

Since I can’t, then I can only do my best to make an example to others, so that those who have prejudice and contempt for me will not dare to express their prejudice and contempt to me at will.

People are bullying.Therefore, an image of flipping the table when there is a disagreement will make my future journey easier.

As for what you said about being too aggressive and out of gregarious, this is exactly the best result for me.

I don't need to fit in with other people, and people don't really accept me.Instead of being hypocritical and pretending to be false, it's better to draw the line from the beginning. I only need you to cooperate with me in action, and you don't need to accept me psychologically from the beginning. "

After Lu Weimang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the lobby became silent.

"Weimang, you say that because you are making long-term plans for the future. Dad thought you were an official for a few years on a whim, and after you get enough of it, you will resign and go home."

This is Lu Qingshan's true thinking, and it is also the thinking of most people.

So prejudice is everywhere, even among your own family members.People inherently believe that men enter the court and become officials and make contributions, while women should take care of their husbands and children and return to the family.Therefore, no matter what kind of career Lu Weimang has made, the notion that she can't do it for a long time is in people's minds.

Lu Weimang didn't take it seriously, prejudice was pervasive, she didn't mind, "Father, no matter what happens in the future, I just follow the trend. I don't have the idea of ​​being an official for a lifetime, nor do I have the idea of ​​just trying to stop. I hope I do Any decision is based on my own heart. It is what I want to do, not what I should do. Maybe after the upside-down, I will get tired of being an official next year, and then I will put my love on the mountains and rivers and leave with my seal. uncertain."

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan smiled blankly, "I didn't know that my daughter still has such ambition."

Rumors can't stop the coming of the year.

This year, it is still as lively as ever, and it seems to be more lively than ever.

The Lu family has no relatives alive, and the only uncle, because he urged Lu Weimang's mother to marry, has long been ashamed to associate with the Lu family. The mother has a new child and lives well in her husband's house, and the elder sister is also married. I heard from an old man in the village who came to pay New Year's greetings that she was pregnant.

Knowing that they are all well, the Lu family is also relieved and no longer worry about it.

Changfeng is going to enter the Imperial College in a few days, and now he is excitedly taking his elder sister and elder brother out shopping to buy things for the Imperial College.

Seeing Chang Feng's heartless look, Lu Weimang couldn't help but feel relieved.

Since she came to the front desk around graduation last year, one thing after another happened one after another.There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at her, and there seemed to be invisible pressure on her head, which made her unable to do whatever she wanted as before.If Lu Weimang went with the flow, she should be able to relax, but she has her own ideas and the life she wants to live.

So some struggle is inevitable.

"Sister, what are you thinking, don't be distracted, help me see which of these two ink cartridges is better?"

Changfeng pulled Lu Weimang to look at the ink cartridges he was about to bring to the Imperial College, one was the Junzi ink cartridge with embossed lotus flowers, and the other was the Guancanghai ink cartridge with sea wave patterns.

Lu Weimang looked at it and nodded, "They're all good, I want both. Cheng Yang, I'll give you the wave pattern Guancanghai, and I like the lotus embossed one, so I'll keep it for myself."

Cheng Yang smiled secretly and nodded, "Thank you, sister."

Changfeng was dumbfounded, "Sister, didn't you buy something for me when you came out today? You can't bring anything else to the Imperial College, you can only buy some of the Four Treasures of the Study."

Lu Weimang was unmoved, "There are a lot of stationery for poor students, you put all your thoughts on stationery, can you still concentrate on studying? First use the set from your original academy, which was carefully selected by you yourself, so you can't love the new and dislike the old. How about this, the Imperial College takes an exam in January, and when your exam results are in the middle, sister will buy it for you."

Chang Feng was dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do, "Sister still treats me like a child."

"What did you say~"

"No, let's go. Go and have a look at the rice paper. Rice paper is a consumable. Can you buy more?"

"Let's go."

Tired of shopping, the three siblings came to Rongsheng Pavilion, and did not go to the private room, but only had a meal in the lobby.

"Sister, I heard that the curfew will be lifted in the palace during the Shangyuan Festival this year, and we will have fun with the people. Should we prepare to decorate some lanterns at the entrance of the mansion? I heard that many mansions have asked craftsmen to make lanterns, not only in previous years. There are revolving horse lanterns, Kongming lanterns, three-story palace lanterns, beauty strip palace lanterns, animal-shaped palace lanterns, and other novelty styles."

Changfeng talked about the Lantern Festival with great interest.

Speaking of which, the most lively festival of the year is the Shangyuan Festival.

The ancients had no nightlife. After dark, there was nothing on the street except for one or two red lanterns at the gates of shops or houses. It was pitch black, except for the guards in charge of the curfew.As for the Shangyuan Festival, the night is decorated with palace lanterns of various colors, and the streets are full of brilliance and brilliance.

People who have never seen neon lights in ancient times, can’t they be fascinated by the night scene of the Lantern Festival?
Lu Weimang also likes the excitement of the Lantern Festival.

"It's boring to ask someone to customize. Let's make the palace lantern ourselves. This year, we will make a three-story palace lantern with beautiful women. I will be in charge of erecting the lamp stand, Cheng Yang will paint the beauties, and Changfeng will be in charge of pasting the lanterns. I will go to the lantern shop to buy later. some material back."

Lu Weimang made a decision, and Cheng Yang and Changfeng also agreed.They all follow Lu Weimang and like to do some small handicrafts by themselves. No matter what the result is, the joy of doing it is rare.

Arrived at the lantern shop in the afternoon, good guy, there are too many people to squeeze in.Looking at the clothes, most of the servants from various houses came to order the palace lanterns at this moment.

"Sister, wait here for a while, I will squeeze in to buy materials."

At this moment, the lantern shop has materials for DIY projects. After all, there are many people who like handcrafts.

Cheng Yang and Chang Feng rushed up to squeeze in, but Lu Weimang shouted from behind the crowd, "Anyway, if I squeeze in, I'll buy a few more, except for the three-story palace lantern, buy me a few smaller ones!"

Lu Weimang didn't know if the two younger brothers who were squeezed into sardines heard her shout, anyway, she quickly took two steps back after shouting.The entrance of this store feels like it can be overwhelmed by the turbulent crowd.

It took a long time before Cheng Yang squeezed out with Chang Feng. The jade crown on Cheng Yang's head was a little crooked, not to mention the clothes, the belt of Chang Feng's outer robe was pulled away by someone.

Lu Weimang hurriedly adjusted the clothes of the two younger brothers, Cheng Yanghou patted his chest in fear, "It's too crowded here, I don't know what to grab?"

On the contrary, Changfeng found it interesting, "Sister, brother and I bought quite a few, not only three-story ones, but also carousel lanterns, beauty lanterns, and rabbit lanterns, enough for us to make more."

"Let's go, everything is bought, let's go back and do it."

The three siblings walked home with big bags and small bags.

"Did you buy this palace lantern? I don't know what happened this year. I heard that the palace purchased a large number of palace lanterns. His Majesty has never been so extravagant in previous years. So all the mansions in the capital bought palace lanterns temporarily. I just came back and told the housekeeper Go buy it, but I haven't bought it yet."

What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom, no wonder the business of the lantern shop is booming today.

"We don't know about the other ones, so don't make wild guesses, just make the lantern first."
