Chapter 37

Lu Wei and his party rushed on horseback, and when they arrived at the Temple of Mercy on the outskirts of Beijing, the sun had just risen a foot high.

The Compassion Nunnery was originally an inconspicuous small nunnery, desolate and dilapidated. Princess Duanshu took a fancy to the cleanliness of this place more than ten years ago, renovated it and built it again, and used it as a place for her to practice and worship Buddha.

Although it is a nunnery, but the carved beams and painted buildings, the furniture and furnishings are all top-grade, and there are dozens of servants serving them, Princess Duanshu's life is no worse than that of Lu's residence.

When Lu Wei arrived, he walked to the door, stopped again, and ordered the others to retreat first, leaving only Fang Mo.

"In order to save your senior brother, did you ask the eldest daughter of the Zhang family?" Lu Wei asked.

Fang Mo's scalp tightened, and he begged for forgiveness with a bitter face: "My lord, I, I know I shouldn't bother him! But, but I really couldn't do anything at that time, I beg you to punish me!"

"She didn't help you either, so what is there to punish?" Lu Wei said, "It's just that you went to her, why didn't you tell me?"

Fang Mo didn't dare to hide any more, and said: "Young master, it's not that the subordinates deliberately deceived you! I thought, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family is our future mistress, and she failed to help me. I will tell you in front of you, but it is impossible to say that she Bad words! Besides, my senior brother came out safely, so I didn't say anything..."

"I heard that she didn't want to help. You said a lot of nasty things in front of her, Fang Mo, you are very courageous!" Lu Wei said coldly.

If Fang Mo was struck by lightning, he immediately plopped down on his knees, his face turned pale, and said excitedly, "Master, even if I have the guts of a bear, I don't dare to say anything nasty in front of the future mistress. That day I knelt down and begged the eldest girl of the Zhang family for help, but she said that my senior brother is a sack bearer, how could she have anything to do with a sack bearer as a famous lady... Then she got in the car and left, I really Didn't say anything!"

Lu Wei frowned.

Seeing that Lu Wei was silent, Fang Mo hurriedly said, "Zhang... who can testify about that!"

"Get up." Lu Wei said, "I believe in you."

Fang Mo stood up, a hulking man's eyes were red with grievance.

When Lu Wei entered the backyard of the nunnery, Princess Duanshu was wearing a brown linen layman's robe, her long hair was simply tied up in a bun, and she was instructing the maids to take good care of the flowers and plants she planted.

"Mother!" Lu Wei yelled and stepped forward to salute.

Princess Duanshu turned her head and smiled. Although she was nearly forty years old, her face without makeup was still beautiful and dignified. She nodded and said, "My son is here."

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Wei asked the little maid to bring in the taoist robe that Zhang Yuying had sent.

"I have a heart." Princess Duanshu glanced at the Taoist robe and said with a smile.

The servant immediately took off the Taoist robe.

"I see that my son seems to have something on his mind." Princess Duanshu said.

Lu Wei hesitated for a moment, and said for a long time: "I only know that I have been engaged to the eldest daughter of the Zhang family since I was a child, but I don't know the reason behind it."

Princess Duanshu laughed and sighed again, "It happened more than ten years ago, and many changes happened during the period. Both Luzhang's family fell, and they lost their former glory. They also lost their ability to stand up." Those who set up a family are all old things, and this marriage is ultimately your engagement to the Zhang family Yuying. Whoever is the eldest daughter of the Zhang family is your unmarried daughter-in-law."

Seeing that Lu Wei was silent, Princess Duanshu asked with concern: "But did you have trouble with her? Did she offend you?"

"Men, be bolder!" Princess Duanshu said with a smile, "Don't be like your old man Lu Dexue!"

Lu Wei said: "Zhang Jiayuying is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she didn't offend me, but sometimes she feels..."

He just felt that Zhang Yuying's behavior was not as good as she showed, which disappointed him.

But Lu Wei thought about it again, he and Zhang Yuying had never had any personal contact, and Zhang Yuying's character cannot be judged by just a few words.It would be biased to think that Zhang Yuying's moral character is not good just because of a few words.

Princess Duanshu waited for a long time, but seeing Lu Wei's next sentence, she knew that her taciturn son didn't intend to say anything.

Princess Duanshu looked at her son and couldn't help but feel distressed, "I have sent you to study with teachers all these years, and I have spent less time in the capital. In fact, I want you to avoid that kid from the Jin family. You won the polo match last time." He's gone crazy again, scolding you bloody every time he meets anyone, and threatening to beat you to death!"

"He can't beat me." Lu Wei said honestly.

Princess Duanshu gave him a blank look.

Lu Wei said in a deep voice: "I don't regret it, he insulted you! Even if you go back in time and do it all over again, I will still beat him!"

Princess Duanshu patted Lu Wei on the shoulder, her eyes were red and very sad.

"I didn't mean to make trouble with him. He didn't play in the polo match. I only found out later that he spent a lot of money to hire players from other places, and even spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy my team to lose." Lu Wei explained road.

Not to mention that the master player didn't play a role, and the tens of thousands of taels of gambling money didn't even hear the sound of water drifting. Without Lu Wei's knowledge, the bond with Jin Yongkang became bigger and bigger.

Princess Duanshu sighed, "The Jin family is the queen's natal family, and it is in full swing, but I am just the princess of the former dynasty. The emperor just maintains face and affection with me, keeps my title and salary, and shows that he is a benevolent monarch! "

Although they are all from the Fang family, they are just distant relatives separated by many generations.Besides, what kind of family relationship can the royal family have!
"Mother." Lu Wei called softly.

The corners of Princess Duanshu's eyes were red, "I have wronged you all these years, and you can't go home, it seems like you are wandering outside!"

"My mother is my home." Lu Wei said seriously, "It is a good thing to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles."

After seeing too much life in the market and the suffering of the common people, he would not be like Zhang Yuying, who would frankly say that getting involved with a sack-carrying man would cause him to lose his reputation.

Not two days after Fang Mo pleaded guilty, a maid came to inform that the young master was about to leave for the exam, and everyone had dinner together at noon, which was counted as seeing the young master off.

"Why did you come to deliver the message?" Zhang Yuqing asked in surprise.

This maid was in front of Zhang Yuying, not the maid next to Mrs. Zhang, the housekeeper.

The maid raised her chin, "Why, the girl despises me?"

Wang Chunniang hurriedly said, "How could it be!"

"Madam is busy with the housekeeper. It was our eldest girl who remembered that no one here informed me, so she told me to come over and tell you to come over." The servant girl rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "It's so kind to treat you like a donkey's liver and lungs!"

Zhang Yuqing didn't give her an extra look, "I see, let's go."

"Then you have to go! Our girl can tell you that you must go!" the maid shouted.

Zhang Yuqing ignored her again.

When the maid left, Wang Chunniang took out clean clothes from the box, changed them into Zhang Yuqing, and took a comb to comb Zhang Yuqing's hair.

"It's also strange. Why did you suddenly ask the girl to go to eat together again? Maybe you have to find some old man for the girl again!" Wang Chunniang said worriedly.

Since the last time Zhang Yuqing saw the Zhang family's dinner, Mrs. Zhang never asked Zhang Yuqing to have dinner together, as if she had forgotten about this person, only when Zhang Yuqing was of value, such as giving it to the powerful old man Only by warming the bed will I think of her.

Zhang Yuqing smiled, "Second sister don't have to worry, Zhang Yuqian will take the talent test, this matter is much more important than finding an old man for me, Madam Zhang will not choose this time if she wants to be a demon, at least not today."

Seeing how much the Zhang family attached importance to Zhang Yuqian, it was as if the future of the Zhang family was betting on Zhang Yuqian. The entire Zhang family had a cautious attitude towards Zhang Yuqian.Zhang Yuqian's exam was his first step into the imperial examination, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the top priority of Zhang's family.

She is just an insignificant role, Mrs. Zhang has no time to plot against her.

Wang Chunniang clasped her hands together and sighed, "I don't know when Master Luo's reply will arrive."

When Zhang Yuqing passed by, Zhang Yuying had already sat down with a few younger ones.

Mrs. Zhang was busy ordering the layout of the various places, and she must require that there be a lucky head of the gold list in every place. Seeing Zhang Yuqing coming, she frowned and asked, "What are you here for?"

"I called Sister Yuqing over here." Zhang Yuying stepped forward and put her arms around Mrs. Zhang's arm, and said coquettishly, "Big brother is such an important matter, the whole family should come together to encourage him!"

Mrs. Zhang wanted to reprimand Zhang Yuqing, but then she thought, although this Zhang Yuqing is very annoying, but she is Tanhua's daughter after all, and if there is Tanhua's daughter present, maybe Wenquxing's blessings can be poured into Zhang's family. ...

"Sit down when you're here!" Mrs. Zhang said, and couldn't help but habitually scolded Zhang Yuqing, "When Yuqian comes over, say a few more auspicious words, don't always be like a stupid dumb stupefied wood!"

Zhang Yuqing kept silent, watching her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose.

Even a basket of auspicious words can't change the fact that Zhang Yuqian scratched his ears and groaned all the time he memorized.

The hope of the Zhang family rests on such a narrow-minded and unenterprising person. She sees the future of the Zhang family as very difficult!An outsider can see Zhang Yuqian's seriousness clearly.Or, there is really no other way, I can only hope that Zhang Yuqian will have shit luck and bring the Zhang family straight to the blue sky?

Mrs. Zhang was busy with other things. Zhang Yuying signaled Zhang Yuqing to sit down, and said with a smile, "Sister Yuqing never goes out. I haven't seen Sister Yuqing for a long time."

"You have a lot of things to do and are busy, so naturally you can't meet me, an idler." Zhang Yuqing said with a smile.

At this moment, the servant girl came over and said: "Miss, Madam just ordered that the young master sit at their table, and there will be no place for the young master at your table."

Although Zhang Yuying called Zhang Yuqing's sister affectionately, everyone knew that Zhang Fu's "big girl" was referring to only Zhang Yuying.

Zhang Yuying nodded with a smile, indicating that she knew, and then sighed to Zhang Yuqing: "Brother Qian is an adult from now on, and he will provoke the Zhang family from now on."

"Brother will definitely pass the exam, he studies well, teachers and friends have great confidence in him!" Zhang Yucheng said loudly, his face full of promises.

Zhang Yushu also quickly expressed his opinion, "Brother, work hard and make progress, there will be no problem!"

Just when Zhang Yuqing was thinking of something to say to make herself less obtrusive, Zhang Yuying pulled her out and chatted with her: "I heard someone say today that Fang Mo, the servant of the Lu family, called you out to speak. What's the matter?"

 After some years.

  Zhang Yuqing: There is one thing I don't understand. You told Zhang Yuying that you can't judge her character in just a few words, for fear of being biased. Why did you just think in a few words that I was greedy for vanity and ungrateful?
  Lu Wei: Stop talking, I will kneel down with the washboard.
