Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 64 Intersection (10)
These words only make it clear that Grandma Xu Duan and Grandma Sang will be the dowry nuns of Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu in the future. The two thought that they came out of the palace and were hired by Dingguo's government to teach the rules. Nanny, to put it bluntly, it means that the useless person who was released in the palace is useless, and he can't go back home. The rest of his life can only be married to some girl and become a decent mother in charge. Looking for an opportunity to take a goddaughter under her knees for retirement, where is there a better way out?
In addition, getting along with Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu these days, I found that the two sisters are very good-natured, without the slightest arrogance of the girls in the Duke's Mansion, and they all seem to have their own ideas, although they are hindered by the background of the side branches. I'm afraid that the future will not be as good as the real girls of the Duke's Mansion, but seeing how much the old lady loves and values ​​the two of them, the future prospects will not be much worse... So they all readily agreed to the old lady Lu's request, This can be regarded as officially becoming a member of Kongcui Pavilion.

Mama Hang and Mama Wu first thought that they would only stay in Kongcui Pavilion until the end of the year, so they were courteous to them everywhere, but they were the only ones who followed suit everywhere. The decency of the old lady and the value of her own girls these days, how can there be their soup in the future?They were all like eggplants beaten by frost, they withered overnight, and since then they have been more dedicated in their words and deeds than before. They are afraid that Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu will be displeased by an accident. They kicked them out of the Kongcui Pavilion, then they really lost their future, and lost all the old face of several lifetimes!

Lu Mingxuan saw these situations in her eyes, and naturally she became less worried.

Only Lu Mingfu was very dissatisfied with her running to the Jiusheng Building whenever she had free time, and complained: "Seeing the sky-high price of running to the library, could it be that you plan to come back from the female champion? It's a pity that no matter how good your knowledge is, , there has never been a precedent for female examinations in all dynasties, it is better to practice female red needlework more, or it is good to learn how to be a director from Da Furen or Zhang Nai, otherwise it will go in the future..., but what to do ?”

After complaining, he complained again: "Now that I want to see you, I have to make an agreement with the maid in your room before I can see you. Tell me, what is this called? Thankfully, it is no longer the time when we first came in." After a while, I don't know anyone well, and it's time for everything to be different, otherwise I can only walk alone, and I really can't live my life."

Lu Mingxuan felt guilty because of what she said. I had indeed neglected her a lot these days, but she couldn't tell her about her desire to become stronger, so she could only smile flatteringly: "I just fell in love with reading a while ago. , sister, don’t be angry with me, after a while, I will naturally be with you every day, just afraid that you will find me annoying.” I was thinking in my heart, it seemed that I would have to study in Jiushenglou as little as possible in the future, Borrow the book more often.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfu was just complaining and complaining in vain. Now she has some friendship with Lu Mingfeng and Lu Mingli. When she is free, she often gathers together to play chess or do needlework. It is not difficult to pass the time.

After going to Jiusheng Building more times, Lu Mingxuan inevitably ran into other people who also came to borrow books, such as Ling Mengqi, and then Zhao Yanjie.

When she met Zhao Yanjie for the first time to borrow books, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but chuckle a little. She was worried about how she could talk to Zhao Yanjie without showing any traces, so that she could get to know each other slowly and let him have Opportunity understands oneself, I don't want to see a great opportunity now.

It's a pity that Zhao Yanjie came to borrow books very seldom, and Lu Mingxuan might not meet him even once when he went there five times. After asking Danqing from the side, he found out that Zhao Yanjie started his studies at the age of four, and now he is quite young in his studies. Cheng, if his grandmother hadn't passed away, he would have to observe mourning for three years, and next year he would have to take the government examination. Now, except for eating and sleeping, he spends almost all his time on learning and learning crafts, and he looks forward to four years later At the end of the game, if you can pass the government examination and the township examination in one fell swoop, and make up for the missing three years, you will naturally not have much time to come to Jiushenglou to read the "miscellaneous books" in the eyes of those who are determined to take the imperial examination.

Lu Mingxuan could only temporarily dispel the idea of ​​having a long-term relationship with Zhao Yanjie after getting to know each other. Anyway, she is still young, and Zhao Yanjie still has three years of filial piety to keep. She will not talk about marriage for at least three years, and she still has plenty of time.

On the contrary, Ling Mengqi came here many times, Lu Mingxuan could meet him almost every time, and he reads many types of books, almost everything, Lu Mingxuan saw it a lot, so she couldn't help asking him: "Why doesn't Brother Ling I followed Cousin Zhao to learn art, isn't Brother Lingshi determined to take the imperial examination?" But he came from a scholarly family of civil servants, if he can't stand out in the imperial examination, what other ways are there to stand out?
Ling Mengqi's handsome face slowly turned red when she asked her, and he whispered for a moment: "I was a late opener, and because of... some other reasons, I never studied hard, let alone follow Zhao Shixiong I'm studying art, and I can't even understand some of what Mr. said, so I want to read as many books as possible. Isn't there a saying that "the belly has poetry and books in its own right", and in time, I believe in myself I will definitely be able to keep up with Brother Zhao, make my father proud of having me as a son, and make the Ling clan proud of me!"

A few simple words, but they made Lu Mingxuan feel very sad, especially when she saw clearly the childishness that flashed in Ling Mengqi's eyes when he mentioned her father, the Marquis of Guangping treated him like that. Not treating him as a son is equivalent to driving him out of the house in disguise. He still misses his father and wants to make his father proud of him one day through his own efforts... She should feel sorry for him, Or are you angry with him?
On this day, it was the holiday of May [-]st. Lu Mingxuan also greeted Mrs. Lu and arrived at the Jiusheng Building at about the same time as usual.

After scanning around, and finding that Ling Mengqi hadn't come yet, Lu Mingxuan didn't waste any more time, and immediately picked out the books she wanted to read in the next five days.

She was so absorbed in her search that she didn't even notice Ling Mengqi's arrival. Danqing, who was still standing under the bookshelf helping her hold the book she had found, caught a glimpse of the reflection of the sun on the ground and realized that it was Ling Mengqi who had arrived. She bowed her knees and called out: "Young Master Ling." She just came back to her senses, but she only half turned around and nodded to Ling Mengqi, and said with a smile: "Brother Ling Shi is here." Then she turned around and looked for her book is coming.

He didn't know what Ling Mengqi was thinking at the moment because of her smile.

Today Lu Mingxuan wore a stone blue embroidered half-sleeved, moon white tunic, and a blue Xiangshui skirt underneath. She was very clean and elegant. Because she was one year older, her stature had also grown a lot. Look, the outline of a young girl is vaguely formed, and she was born well, now standing against the light, her whole body is covered with a layer of golden light, which is indescribably bright and indescribably dazzling. The light entered Ling Mengqi's heart, making Ling Mengqi's breathing difficult and his heart beating faster, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
