Chapter 392
Fortunately, the carriage arrived at the Lu residence soon, and Lu Xiaoning wanted to get off, Huangfu Shaoye said: "Bring the cakes, this is the wish of the concubine Xian."

"Oh." Lu Xiaoning followed suit and carried the food box.

"I won't get out of the car." Huangfu Shaoye said softly.

"Oh."

I didn't want you to get out of the car at first, so that it would cause trouble for others to see.

"Can you stay in Hancui Pavilion tonight?" Lu Xiaoning had already stretched out half of her body, and Huangfu Shaoye held her back again.

Lu Xiaoning said helplessly: "My grandmother is sick, and I have to be sick."

It was as if they were going to have a tryst in the middle of the night when no one was around.

Huangfu Shaoye was so disappointed: "Then when will you be able to live back in Hancui Pavilion?"

"I don't know, let's see when grandma recovers." Lu Xiaoning struggled a bit but did not let go.

"Then how do I find you?"

Lu Xiaoning looked at him speechlessly, he looked like a clingy child, his eyes were pitiful and full of hope, after all he couldn't bear to refuse, and said: "I will go to the pharmacy after I leave the palace."

Huangfu Shaoye rolled his eyes with a smile, and let go of his hand: "Got it."

Lu Xiaoning got out of the carriage, picked up the food box, didn't dare to look back, and quickly walked into the gate of the Lu family.

Huangfu Shaoye lifted the corner of the curtain to watch Lu Xiaoning enter the mansion, and then ordered: "Let's go."

Yueliu was an eye-opener today. My master has no temper at all in front of Ms. Lu. He speaks in a soft voice, and in a low voice, hey!Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty, and His Royal Highness is no exception.

Lu Xiaoning thought back to Huangfu Shaoye's blushing face, the handsome guy was so shy, it made her girlish heart burst, it's a pity that she didn't live up to it, otherwise she would have teased him.Lu Xiaoning felt that his footsteps were lighter than ever before, as if he had a bird in his heart, eager to fly out, to fly up to the branches and sing, when he was in a good mood, he looked at the clouds in the sky and felt that they were extraordinarily gorgeous.

Huangfu Shaoye
She didn't realize that after reconciling with him, she felt so comfortable.

"Miss." The maids in the mansion saw Lu Xiaoning saluted one after another, with surprised looks in their eyes, the eldest lady looks in a good mood today, could there be some happy event?Recently, the Lu Mansion has been full of bad things, and everyone is looking forward to something happy.

Lu Xiaoning suppressed his smile, regained his reserved appearance, and asked, "Is the master back?"

"Not yet, Zhu Wang came back and said that the master has a social event tonight and will come back later." The servant girl replied.

Lu Xiaoning nodded and went straight to the Charity Hall.

She doesn't like pastries, so she gave these pastries to her grandmother and Xiao Chengxun.

Lu Youren is currently sitting in a restaurant in Jinling City. The person who invited him to dinner today is a Jinshi who is going to participate in the Shujishi examination this year. He is from Shanxi. He is from the same town as Liu Shangshu. He found Lu Youren through Liu Shangshu's relationship. Lu Youren had to deal with him .

After drinking for three rounds, the other party took out a black lacquered and gold-plated box, pushed it in front of him, and said with a smile on his face, "Master Lu, a little care is not a respect, so please accept it."

Lu Youren's face tensed up: "This can't be done."

In the past, he always thought that he could get an important job, and some people asked others to give gifts. It was not for getting rich. He always thought that he was quite rich, so he didn’t need to be greedy. He just wanted to enjoy being respected and held up by others. a feeling of.Ever since he took the important position of presiding over the assessment of Shu Jishi, there are really many people who treat guests and give gifts. Speaking of which, he really needs money now, but he didn't dare to accept it. The handle, not to mention the ruin of a lifetime reputation, is serious, and even the black hat can't be kept.

"My lord, this one is for you, and Lord Shang Shu also has it." The other party said with a smile.

Lu Youren's heart skipped a beat, Master Shangshu also accepted the gift?

Also, if Master Shang Shu didn't accept the gift, how could he order him to take care of this person.It's not that he doesn't understand the rules of the officialdom. An upright official doesn't last long. If you don't take it when others take it, they will be jealous of you, thinking that you are not on the same path as him.

Now the other party has clearly told him that Master Shang Shu accepted the gift, if he doesn't accept it, it will be bad.Moreover, now he really needs to get some gray income, and the whole family has to spend. If Zhang Matchmaker can negotiate that matter, he will always give Fanghua more dowry for himself, so as not to go to the Qin Palace to live Sad, when I think about it, I can't control my heartbeat.

"My lord, it's just a little bit of care." The other party's smile lowered his eyebrows more and more, cautiously.

Lu Youren didn't know what was inside, and he was too embarrassed to open it to look at it. He forced himself to be calm, and said in an official tone: "Since that's the case, I'll accept it with a smile. Don't take it as an example. The assessment will start soon, and you also need to Just be prepared."

"Yes, please take care of me when the time comes." The other party nodded and bowed.

Lu Youren understood that this notice was nothing more than missing a question for him. Thinking of this, Lu Youren felt hot when he looked at the box. Fortunately, the assessment of Shujishi is not as strict as Qiuwei's selection of talents, so it is not necessary to operate it. It's not feasible, as long as the other party's mouth is tight and there are no problems, the other party will naturally not complain, so wouldn't he tell the world that his good fortune is bought?
Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Youren got up and said goodbye.

After getting into the carriage, Lu Youren opened the box and took a look, gasped, "My dear, there are all colorful silver bills inside, a thick stack, he was so scared that he almost threw the box away.

After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to stabilize his mind. It was too dark in the carriage and he couldn't see clearly. Lu Youren closed the box and returned to the Lu Mansion with complicated thoughts.

As soon as he got home, Lu Youren got into the study and asked Zhu Wang to watch outside, and no one was allowed to come in.

He opened the box by himself and counted the banknotes one by one until he was sweating profusely.

There are a total of fifty pieces of 1000 taels of silver bills.

5 million taels.

I just ask him to do it for a convenience, to take care of one or two, and to show a little care is 5 taels.

Lu Youren slumped on the chair, unable to recover for a long time, and fell into a battle between heaven and man.

This person gave him 5 taels, how much would he give to Master Shangshu?

Did Lord Shang Shu accept gifts like this before?And how much bribes did Mr. Zuo Shilang, who presided over the assessment of Shujishi, take?No wonder Mr. Zuo Shilang has a bad face every time he sees him. This is a way of cutting off his fortune.And it's a way to get money quickly and with lots of money.

Lu Youren thought to himself, since this gift has already been accepted, it is impossible to return it, but he feels uneasy holding it, he feels that he has embarked on a road that cannot be turned back.

Forget it, he will only accept it once, and he will never accept it again.

Lu Youren carefully kept the 5 taels of banknotes.

 Four more completed
