Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 148 Welcome
Lu Ziyu sent his brother to the gate of the palace, and then returned to the mansion.

It's not that she doesn't want to wait there to keep the news, it's just that it's not a problem to be so exhausted, but she still waits like a fire in her heart.

Tong Yun saw that his young lady was restless and restless, so he invited her back first, and stayed outside the palace gate to explore the wall by himself.

The front hall of Duke Lu's mansion.

Except for Lu Zhiting, who was taking the imperial examination, and Lu Zhimu, who was serving as the escort, the other four members of the Lu family were all gathered together.

Shen Lan twisted her handkerchief and stretched her neck towards the door.Lu Jinyan was holding a cup of tea in his hand, but he didn't take a sip, instead, he spilled it on his body without knowing it.

Needless to say, Lu Sanshao, who is not bright-headed, has never been upright.

Compared to them, Lu Ziyu could still hold his breath, but his hands were sweating right now.

She didn't know whether the idea she gave her elder brother would work or not, and what to do if it backfired.
Just when this thought was not settled, Tong Yun ran in panting, "Zhongzhong."

He put his hands on his knees, hunched over, panting like a cow.

Beads of sweat rolled down the forehead and into the collar.

When everyone saw him coming back, they surrounded him one after another.

Lu Jinyan even handed the teacup in his hand to Tong Yun, and asked with staring eyes, "Is Ke Ke famous?"

Tong Yun panted heavily and shook his head.

"Is that a Jinshi award?"

Tong Yun shook his head again.

Lu Jinyan felt a little disappointed, he knew how brilliant his son's literary talent was, how could he not even get a Jinshi.

"It's okay, if you don't succeed this year, you can wait for next year."

Lu Ziyu gently closed his dark beautiful eyes.

The atmosphere in the front hall suddenly became so low, like a valley in the mountains and forests, quiet and lonely.

Tong Yun managed to catch his breath, stomped his feet, laughed and waved his hands and said urgently, "Grandpa, among the eldest sons is the number one scholar, the number one scholar!"

The front hall was silent, and everyone looked at Tong Yun in a strange way, even in horror.

Lu Jinyan frowned, trembling, "Say it again, what did you hit?"

"Zhuangyuanlang, the eldest son used paintings to replace characters in the hall today, which broke the title of the saint." Tong Yun was talking happily, but somehow his eyes suddenly turned red, and he quickly covered them with his sleeves, crying and laughing He said, "The eldest son shocked everyone in the Chaoyang Palace with the 'Four Treasures Theory', and now the whole capital is going crazy."

He said while wiping tears.

Everyone listened to him and watched him cry, unknowingly they also had tears all over their breasts.

No one expected that their Lu family would produce a number one scholar.
Lu Zhichen laughed happily, and pinched Tong Yun's neck under his armpit, "What a brat, you actually did this for us." He waved to the servants and maids in the front hall, "Give this to me!" Don't tickle him, see if he is still talking and panting."

Everyone was swarming around, Tong Yun hurriedly wiped away his tears, begging for mercy, "There's still good things to come."

Lu Jinyan subconsciously raised his slightly wrinkled eyes to look over, the bottom of his eyes were cloudy and sore, obviously he hadn't reacted from what happened just now.

Tong Yun broke free from the confinement of Lu Sanshao's arm, quickly squeezed out of the crowd, and knelt down in front of Lu Jinyan with a plop.

Lu Zhiyu looked sideways, not understanding what he meant.

"Congratulations to your father-in-law on his reinstatement." Tong Yun kowtowed to Lu Jinyan amidst everyone's dull gazes, "The sage himself issued an oral order, and Eunuch Jiang will come to deliver the imperial edict later."

"Your news, but who told you to listen to it?" Lu Ziyu regained his composure, fearing that someone deliberately spread false news, so he hurriedly questioned Tong Yun.

"It's Brother Qin Qiao. He's working in the Chaoyang Palace today. When he got the news, he wanted to ask someone to pass it on. He didn't want to meet me, so he hurriedly told me about it." Tong Yun knelt on the ground, hooked He grinned at his young lady and said.

Lu Ziyu nodded at him, as if he understood the cause and effect.

Since it was the news brought back by Qin Qiao, there must be no half-truth.

After the Lu family banquet, her second brother asked Qin Qiao to leave.

Originally, he thought that he would just serve him as an idle soldier, but he went straight into the palace and became a Jinwu guard, which did not disappoint Qin Qiao's talent.

Jing Zhe heard that the news came from his brother Qin Qiao, and couldn't help blushing.

Luo Ning smiled, gently nudging her with his elbow, his eyes full of jokes.

Shen Lansu covered Lu Jinyan's trembling palm with her hand, and called softly, "Master."

Her voice was weak, but there was a trace of determination in it.

She married him when he was in his prime, and never left when he was in poverty.

Lu Jinyan clenched his wife's Rouyi tightly with his backhand, "Lan'er, let's go offer incense to our ancestors."

"it is good."

The two held hands and depended on each other, leaving only the affectionate pair of backs for everyone.

Lu Zhichen rubbed his palms together, "You brat Tong Yun, if you don't report us, you're going to make us hungry. Come on, let me scratch him hard."

Tong Yun was wronged, he obviously rushed back to announce the good news, why was he ravaged by a bunch of people like this
Lu Ziyu didn't bother to mess around with them, so he lifted his skirt and ran towards Lanyue Pavilion.

Now that my eldest brother won the first prize, the second matter has to be done together by "strike while the iron is hot".

After Lu Zhiting won the first prize, he kowtowed in the Chaoyang Hall to thank God, took off his cloth clothes and put on a Daluo red robe, a black gauze hat with wings on his head, and a silver silk belt hanging around his waist.

Putting on new clothes, he rode on a big horse with red flowers tied around his neck, and followed a ten-member guard of honor from the north gate of Xuanwu.

Worshiping the holy temple, passing through Kuimen, and parading the streets are very lively.

There were two people in front of them carrying bronze gongs, which rang every ten steps, four of them were holding high school ceremony plaques and drinking along the street, and the last four were holding the number one scholar's book bestowed by the emperor in their hands.

Lu Zhiting sat on the horseback, looking shyly at the congratulatory people along the street, he had never encountered such a grand scene.

Years later, when I think about it, it still feels like a dream.

He won the first prize, and half of the credit should go to his little sister.

That night, Lu Ziyu had a long talk with his elder brother by burning candles.

"Siniang came to see me, didn't she just give me a few dishes for supper?" Lu Zhiting had finished eating and drinking, and carefully put away the food box.

His fairy sister has exquisite thoughts.

Coming here tonight must be because I have something to tell myself.

Lu Ziyu was not in a hurry to leave, and moved a small stool to sit beside his elder brother, "Brother, Si Niang knows that you are restless. But what I have to say right now is related to the future of the family, so you must listen carefully. "

Lu Zhiting looked at the little girl's bright and solemn face, and couldn't help stretching his ears while sitting upright.

"Now the second elder brother is the only one in the family who holds an official position. Although he is of the third grade, he still has real power in his hands." Lu Ziyu pursed his lower lip, and looked up to meet his brother's bright eyes, "But my court, after all, values ​​civility over martial arts. Only Eldest brother has a smooth career, and our Duke Lu’s mansion can stand on the top of the mountain again."

"Standing on the top of the mountain." Lu Zhiting murmured to himself.

"Tomorrow's imperial examination will be a fierce battle." Lu Zhiyu narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer, "The Right Prime Minister's staff must be trying to prevent brother's paper from being included in the first-class volume."

Only when it enters the first-class volume can it be considered to be presented on the dragon case.

Duke Lu's mansion was able to return to the capital because of the blessing of the sage, how could the four big families not know about it.

The saint intends to use Lu Guogong's mansion to contain the forces of the four clans. In this case, the eldest brother will definitely be favored by the saint when he enters the palace test.

In order to prevent it, the right minister will of course obstruct it.

"Little sister already has a plan to break the situation?" Lu Zhiting asked hastily.

"Yes, but there will be some risks."

"But it doesn't matter."

Lu Ziyu took a deep breath, and fixedly looked at his elder brother, "Si Niang's way is to hide his clumsiness. Only by making the Prime Minister feel that elder brother is not a threat can he pass the palace examination safely."

"What's the risk?"

"The heart of a sage." Lu Ziyu smiled lightly, "Let the eldest brother hide his clumsiness, one is to attract the sage's curiosity, and the other is to reassure the right minister. But if the sage's heart is not enough to favor our side, once it touches the dragon's anger, That elder brother's official career will be even more difficult in the future."

Lu Zhiting glanced at his little sister in surprise, "Are you betting on the compassion of a saint?"

"Not only that, but also brother's determination whether he is willing to go straight up." Lu Ziyu smiled.

Lu Zhiting only felt that the Tianling Cap was about to explode, this... was crazy!

He stared at the girl in front of him who was only 14 years old.

Admire, scrutinize, complicate.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "What should I do."

"When everyone is not optimistic about my elder brother, I will bloom in an instant, and the sky will go straight up"

　Big bro! ! !
