Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 131
Lu Zhiting's body was stiff when he came out of Zuo Xiang's mansion until he got into the carriage.

He sat in the carriage in a daze, with a sentence lingering in his ears, "You are just a tribute now, how dare you come to propose marriage?"

The day before yesterday, he just succeeded in Chun Wei, and the books he had studied hard for more than ten years finally paid off. He wanted to go to Zuo Xiang's mansion to meet her with joy, but he was left behind by the crowd for nothing.
Tribute?Those officials and ministers in the imperial court, who was not promoted from the tribute?

Lu Zhiting was well-bred since he was a child. He has a gentle temperament and is neither arrogant nor impatient when things happen.

But he was belittled so much today, and he was greatly frustrated.

When I got out of the carriage and saw my little sister, I felt even more unable to lift my head.

In the ancestral hall that day, he was deeply impressed by the younger sister's strategy. Not only did he help his father reverse the case, but he also pulled down the corrupt officials.

Look at yourself again, as the eldest son but so useless.
Lu Zhiting abruptly showed an ugly smile at his little sister, walked past her with his head bowed and ears drooping.

"Brother, how long have you been studying?" A pleasant female voice called out to him.

How long is the book?Apparently he couldn't even figure it out himself.

Lu Ziyu saw his elder brother turned around, but his face looked so lost, he couldn't help worrying.

"Since you were three years old, mother has invited Mr. Kaizhi for you." Lu Ziyu walked slowly beside him, comforting him softly, "Counting now, I have read books for more than 17 days, a full [-] year."

Lu Zhiting was in a daze, he never thought that it had been so long.

"The first sentence of the Analects that Si Niang learned was taught by my elder brother." Lu Ziyu whispered, full of pity, "Scholars can't be resolute, there is a heavy responsibility and a long way to go."

"Since Si Niang was born, no matter whether it's severe cold or heat, rain or snow, my eldest brother has never missed a single day of his homework. I played with my second and third brothers, and you are also a sage who studies hard without distraction."

Lu Ziyu took a deep breath, and asked softly with a calm expression, "If big brother Chunwei fails the ranking that day, would you be willing to give up?"

Lu Zhiting blurted out, "Of course I don't want to."

He has lofty aspirations, studying not only to revive the lintel, but also to serve the imperial court.

Lu Ziyu pressed on step by step, and asked again, "Then if you fail the palace exam?"

Lu Zhiting hesitated for a while, but still gritted his teeth and insisted, "I don't want to either."

Since he has read the book for so long, how could he give up because of one setback?
It seemed that something was breaking out of his heart, making his difficult thoughts go away.

"That's right. Big brother can persevere and swallow 17 years of suffering. Why did you give up because of this setback given by the Li family?" Lu Ziyu stretched out his small hand to lightly rest on his brother's clenched fist, "The tribute can't do it, so let's take the champion and go again. If you can't do it once, you can do it twice, and if you can't do it twice, you can go three times."

Hearing what she said, Lu Zhiting's eyelashes trembled rapidly.

He thought about it, and felt that what his little sister said made sense.Zuo Xiang only had a few words, but how could he shake his heart.

If he couldn't bear such a blow, how could he have the face to mention the word "love" to Qiongniang?
"If Prime Minister Zuo said something that doesn't please you, elder brother must forgive me." Lu Ziyu looked at him with a smile, stretched out his white and tender hand and tapped his chin, "If there is a poor scholar with no fame, come and talk to Dad Mother said to marry me, do you think they will agree?"

Don't talk about parents, even his elder brother can't agree.

Since my little sister was born, she has been pampered.

She was all loved and loved by the whole family, how could she be married off by a worthless kid?

Lu Zhiting didn't know what to think of, but his complexion suddenly sank.

"Look, this is exactly what Prime Minister Zuo thinks. Si Niang is the sweetheart of his parents and brothers, so naturally Sister Qiong is too."

Lu Zhiting stroked her head, and the anguish in his eyes just now completely dissipated, "You're the only one with more ideas."

Now that the matter has come to this point, he understands that his little sister is trying to comfort him.

Lu Ziyu laughed and stuck out his tongue at him, then quickly ran away, the hem of his skirt fluttering like a flower.

It's good if you can think about it, I'm afraid that my elder brother's elm head will never get it right.

Chunwei is just a small test, and it will only be seen in the palace test in a few days.

At this time, my brother's mind must not be confused.
Zuo Xiang's humiliation today must have shattered her brother's self-confidence to pieces, so she had no choice but to use this energy to send him off to the sky to embrace the sun and the moon.

Decay can also be magical.

There was a trace of blood surging in Lu Zhiting's chest, if he was usually not fighting or grabbing, then now his competitive heart would also be ignited.

In the palace examination, he must be on the list.

Just after lunch, Lu Siniang was lying in the yard under the banyan tree to enjoy the shade.

A recliner, rickety.

A "rogue monkey" came out from nowhere, smiling and threatening her from behind the chair, "Hey, little sister."

Lu Ziyu's hand didn't even shake for Tuanzi Shunmao, obviously he was not surprised by her third brother's tricks
"Boring." She lazily opened her lips.

Lu Zichen rubbed his nose, and snatched the dumpling from her arms, "Fat dumpling, have you gained weight since I haven't seen you for a few days?"

Tuanzi wants to cry but has no tears. You can't beat my master and you come to ravage me?

Lu Ziyu opened his eyes and yawned softly, "What's the matter?"

"What else could it be? Mu Cangzhai will open tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyu turned over and sat up, "Have all the posts been scattered?"

How could she forget such a big thing.

Mu Cangzhai can be said to be the painstaking effort of her sister Yao, and it is also the money bag of the Lu family in the future.

Opening this matter can not be sloppy.

"It's all gone, but I'll post all the noble ladies and sons who can be named in Beijing." Lu Zhichen smiled cheerfully, his mouth almost reaching his ears.

That's right, as soon as Mu Cangzhai opened, he could see the money, and he, Lu Sanshao, was in charge of the Lu family's finances. Wouldn't it make people happy to lie on the bed and count the money?

"Let's send a copy to the Ninth Prince's Mansion too." Lu Ziyu said casually as he played with the strands of hair in his hands.

"Ah? Will the nobleman go?"

"You don't care whether you go or not, the post has to be delivered, but he is in charge of the city defense camp."

Lu Zhichen's eyes widened, city defense battalion?
The city defense battalion that manages the security of the capital?

Then he has to curry favor, Mu Cang Zhai usually puts valuables, if he can get involved with the city defense camp, let's see which thieves dare to recruit them.

Without saying a word, he walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Third brother, where are you going?"

"Order someone to deliver the post to the Ninth Prince's Mansion!"

Lu Ziyu smiled and shouted out, "Then give me back the cat."

This stupid monkey pretended to be busy, and forgot about the work at hand.
The name of Mu Cangzhai has already been ranked first in Beijing, and it is not in vain for her painstaking management over the years.
