The Inverted Dragon is Scale

Gongsun Yu pushed the door and entered. There was a busy scene in front of him.

Several books were spread out on the table, and there were discarded messy manuscript papers under the table.

Men sit at their desks and write quickly, jumping on Jiajiang Xuan in beautiful small regular script rows. It looks like a living spirit.

Gongsun Yu stood at the door and waited for a while. He found that his arrival did not wake up his husband who was busy with government affairs, so he took the initiative to say, "Qingming is busy?"

Lu Qingming paused, looked up at his wife and said, "Xiao Yu, why are you here? Go back and have a rest. I have some work on hand. I'll go back with you when I'm finished. In the troubled times of the Empire, the border areas strive for stability, and there can be no relaxation at all. Even if I return to Tiandu as the new governor, I can't put down the affairs in the province - ---- I've wronged you because there are too many chores. "

Gongsun Yu not only didn't leave, but turned to close the door of his study and said, "Qingming, I want to talk to you."

"OK. You can say as many words as you want. You go back first, and I'll go back to my room with you in a minute -- "

"I want to say a few words in your study now." Gongsun Yu looked at his husband gently, but his attitude was extremely persistent.

Lu Qingming had to put down the brush in his hand. Junlang's facial features were smiling. The wind and sand in the southwest wrinkled his skin, but it could not disperse his martial spirit. He pushed aside his chair, stood up, smiled and said, "OK. What do you want to say to me? "

Gongsun Yu handed the cowhide bag in his hand and said, "look at this first."

"What is it?" Lu Qingming took the bag and asked as he untied the sealing line on it.

"It's guilt and regret." Gongsun Yu said quietly. But the eyes are a little red, which is the expression of extreme emotion.

Lu Qingming's expression was slightly stiff, and he immediately recovered as usual. He pretended not to see his wife, smiled and said, "I'm a little curious. What is it that you said so seriously?"

Lu Qingming untied the bag and took out several stacks of paper.

"Huh?" Lu Qingming looked puzzled, looked at Gongsun Yu and said, "this is the test paper?"

"Imperial college entrance examination papers this year." Gongsun Yu said calmly.

"Interesting. Do I need to be assessed? " As Lu Qingming spoke, he began to read several sets of test papers at hand.

With Lu Qingming's accumulation of knowledge, it is easy to read all these words.

He reloaded the test paper into brown paper and said, "he could have got a higher score if he had checked it carefully. The points were lost in places that should not be wrong. Instead, he answered those difficult questions very well - this student is very talented. Should he be able to study at Xifeng university? Or other imperial schools? "

"You know who he is." Gongsun Yu stared at Lu Qingming and said. No doubt, yes.

"What do you mean?" Lu Qingming opened the paper again, looked at it, smiled and said, "Li shepherd. A very strange name. How can I know who he is? "

"I know you know who he is." Gongsun Yu stared at his husband without blinking and said, "sixteen years ago, you lied to me. Now do you still want to lie to me? Lu Qingming, if you dare to deceive me again, I will never forgive you in my life. "

Lu Qingming's eyes were sad and his expression was painful. He said, "Xiao Yu, what do you want me to do?"

"I want him back." Gongsun Yu said firmly in his voice, "I'll take him back."

"It's impossible." Lu Qingming shook his head“ We sent him back sixteen years ago, but now it's impossible to pick him up again ---- Xiaoyu, you know. It's impossible. What reason do we get him back? How do we explain his existence? "

"Lu Qingming, he is my son, our son - - you thought he was disabled and a waste. You were worried that he would not survive, that he would become a deformed child, that he would disgrace your Lu family, and that every day he lived, your Lu family would become the laughing stock of everyone in the world --"

Gongsun Yu clenched his fist desperately, tried not to let himself shed tears, gritted his teeth and said, "but you see now. He is not disabled, not a waste, not a freak - on the contrary, he is smarter than many people, and he works harder than many people. He deserves a better education. He deserves everything he deserves. He should go back to Lu's family and his parents - I will explain to him well that he should not hate us and Lu's family. Then we will spend our whole life to pay for the mistakes we have made to him. "

Gongsun Yu looked at Lu Qingming and said word by word, "so I want him back."

"Xiaoyu" -- Lu Qingming's forehead is blue with veins, and his eyes are full of pain“ I've been avoiding you these days. I'm just worried that you'll have a showdown with me. I'm worried that you'll poke everything to the surface and let me give you a result. I admit that I know who he is. I pay more attention to his existence than you - I have seen this test paper for a long time. And I know you'll see it. "

"I also want to get him back. Like you, I want to get him back immediately. I don't need you to explain to him. I will explain to him personally. I want to make atonement for him - whether he forgives or not, I want to stand in front of him and tell him all this immediately. I want him to know what happened that night. I want him to know that he should have a different life -- "

"But we can't do that. As you just said, we sent him out because we were worried that he would not survive or become a deformed child. We were worried that he would be ridiculed and criticized by political opponents. Now, if we want him back, how can we explain his existence? How do you explain your relationship with him? How do you explain where he went before? The scandal that happened 16 years ago has become smelly after 16 years of fermentation and brewing - if we now announce to the outside world that Li Shepherd is the abandoned son of the Lu family, how can the Lu family have a foothold in Tiandu? How can you stand in the imperial court? "

"What's more, the situation in Tiandu is complex now. My father is impacting the position of Zuo Xiang. The Lu family is in the vortex, and countless people are staring at it. Everyone in the Lu family is careful for fear that we might vent our breath at this bone eye ----- Xiaoyu, if we pick him up at this time, wouldn't we erect a target on ourselves?"

"Is that why you refused?" Gongsun Yu was extremely disappointed with his husband and said, "just as you threw him out 16 years ago, it's ridiculous."

"Xiao Yu, give me some more time. We now know that he lives well, and he is likely to study all day. At that time, he will be right under our noses. We can take good care of him. When the opportunity is right, we will pick him up and recognize him - - is that good? "

"Lu Qingming"

"Xiaoyu ----"

"I don't want to wait a day."

"Xiaoyu ------"

"I want him to go to Xifeng University." Gongsun Yu said aloud.

"OK." Lu Qingming immediately agreed and said, "I've read his test paper. If there were no accidents, he could have gone to Xifeng University."

"I want to make sure he goes to Xifeng University." Gongsun Yu said.

"OK." Lu Qingfeng nodded and said, "I'm sure. He can certainly enter Xifeng University. If they don't let Li shepherd into Xifeng University, I'll tear down the gate of Xifeng University and burn it as firewood. "

"Lu Qingming, I hope you won't disappoint me this time." Gongsun Yu took a deep look at her husband and turned to walk outside.

Lu Qingming was extremely upset and walked around in his study.

"Someone." Lu Qingming shouted.

Li Ping'an, the bodyguard, pushed the door in and asked, "general, what can I do for you?"

Lu Qingming was a general who fought to kill the enemy. Li Ping'an and Yue Feilong were all members of his pro guard. Later, he became a civilian governor, but the people closest to him still like to call him "general".

"Is the master in the mansion?" Lu Qingming asked aloud.

"This - I'll ask?" Li Ping'an whispered. I thought, we don't know whether the master is in the mansion or not.

"No." Lu Qingming waved his hand and said, "go down."

"Yes. General. " After Li Ping'an went out, he winked at Yue Feilong and said, "the general's performance must have failed to satisfy his wife. His wife was angry and the general was frustrated."

"Li Ping An" -- "Yue Feilong will draw his knife again.

Before they could do it, Lu Qingming came out with a file bag.

They were about to follow, but they heard Lu Qingming say, "don't come."

Lu Qingming came to the yard on the left and asked the old housekeeper, "is father there?"

"The master receives visitors in the study." Said the housekeeper with a smile“ Young master, why don't you come back later? "

"I'll sit down and wait." Lu Qingming glanced at the housekeeper and said.

The housekeeper glanced at Lu Qingming and said, "young master, please go to the teahouse and have a cup of tea."

"Thank you."

Lu Qingming waited in the teahouse for half an hour. The housekeeper came in and asked him to go to the study.

Lu Qingming went in and looked at his father sitting there like a towering mountain. He said in a deep voice, "Dad, I want to pick up the sheep."

(PS: many friends asked about the update. It is tentatively scheduled to update two chapters and 6000 words a day. If the number of words is missing that day, it will be supplemented later. Each more cute leader will add a chapter.)
