Chapter 245
"Congratulations, Uncle Lin! You won the 32nd place."
The person who brought the good news went to the Lin family to ask for the reward, and everyone in the Lin family also came.
"Uncle Lin is only eighteen! Has he won the imperial examination?"
"No! I heard that she hasn't gotten married yet."
The neighbors talked a lot, and the Lin family came over, set off firecrackers, and offered rewards.
The Lin family has not had such a young candidate for many years.
People from the clan brought Lin Yunyi into the house and chirped, "Brother Yi, please offer incense and kowtow to your father and eldest sister!"
Mrs. Lin burst into tears when she heard this, pushed her son and said, "Go."
Their family has been waiting for this day for too many years!
Lin Yunyi paid homage to his family and dealt with the clan elders.
"This year there have been several young candidates in the capital, and the youngest is the one from the Lu family."
He heard someone talking about Lu Changgong and said, "Lu Changgong worked hard in the academy and was extremely talented, but... the eldest sister helped him get started."
The Lin family members nodded: "After all, he is the child taught by Yun Wan."
"Oh, what a pity...your sister can't be seen."
Lin Yunyi lowered his head, seeming very sad.
The patriarch mentioned Lin Yunyi's marriage, and Mrs. Lin's face was full of joy: "It hasn't been decided yet."
The clan leader said: "Don't worry, the general examination will be in February next year. With Yun Yi's current ranking, Jinshi will just have to dig into the bag."
This is actually a bit of an exaggeration.
But Lin Yunyi himself is bound to win.
A bunch of firecrackers were also set off at the door of Lu's house in Wudinghou Mansion. Lu Zhengliu was competing to see who was as happy as if he himself had won the election.
"Reward, reward everyone. Reward the children when they come, don't be stingy."
He gave orders to the steward of the front yard very generously.
The steward was also proud of the spring breeze. He took a bag of broken silver and copper coins and went out to reward those who came to congratulate him.
Lu Zhengliu greeted the guests at the door, "Long Gong——"
When he looked back, he couldn't see anyone there at all.
"Where did this kid go?"
Forget it, it's a big day today, the banquet is important, and there is the old lady. He wants to tell the old lady the good news.
"Grandma, I passed the longbow exam and passed the exam at the age of fifteen!"
Mrs. Lu took too many medicines and was not very clear-headed. When she heard Lu Changgong's name, she felt disgusted and waved her arms: "Get out! Let him get out! He is not from our Lu family!"
"Grandma, the long bow has been hit. Why are you so confused?"
Lu Zhengliu pursed his lips, feeling very uncomfortable, "Grandma, someone is supporting the Lu family now. The long bow has long been recorded in our Lu family's genealogy. Why is it not from our Lu family?"
Mrs. Lu was still cursing.
Lu Zhengliu shook his head, "Why should I tell you this?"
The old lady went crazy.
He turned around and left, and heard the old man on the bed ask in a hoarse voice: "She...she's back? Is she back?"
Lu Zhengliu paused, turned around and asked, "Grandma, who did you listen to?"
Of course, I only found out about it by listening to Yan’s mother and others talking about it.
Mrs. Lu cried and asked: "Zhengliu, is it true? Yun Wan is really back?"
Lu Zhengliu was stunned and said, "I don't know."
He went out to find Lu Changgong. On such a good day, both father and son wanted to celebrate together. He also wanted to take him to see all the relatives, friends and family friends in Wudinghou Mansion. He wanted to tell those people, "The child with such a promising future is me and..." my son".
He is his and Yun Wan's son.
But he met Ge Baoer, who looked very ugly.
Ge Baoer was also stunned when he saw Lu Zhengliu.
Lu Zhengliu: "Why are you here?"
On the big day, she was in charge of the inner house, and there were a lot of things to do, and she was still hanging out here.
Ge Baoer couldn't be unhappy, she had to show her generosity as a matron of the house.
Lu Changgong was becoming more and more prestigious in the Lu family. She was really afraid that her son could not compare to Lu Changgong, so she had to pretend that everything was fine with her even if she was just pretending.
She smiled reluctantly: "The long bow was lifted. I went to get something from the warehouse. I am his aunt after all, so I have to congratulate him."
Lu Zhengliu nodded and said, "There will be a banquet in the house in a few days. Please hurry up and prepare the list of guests and the tableware."
"yes."
Just as Ge Baoer knelt down and resigned, her maid ran over recklessly and said, "Auntie, Madam said to look for -" She stopped talking when she saw Lu Zhengliu, and quickly lowered her head and said, "Uncle."
Lu Zhengliu frowned: "Why are you running so rashly?"
Ge Baoer suddenly squeezed the handkerchief tightly, feeling very guilty, and scolded the maid: "Don't back down yet."
"yes……"
"Stop!" Lu Zhengliu stopped the maid and looked at her coldly: "You just said, 'Madam said to look for', Madam Chen? What is she looking for?"
The maid looked at Ge Baoer.
Lu Zhengliu said expressionlessly: "If you don't tell me, I will have you beaten to death immediately."
"uncle!"
The maid was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "Master, please spare my life."
She talked about Mrs. Chen's pursuit of the old man who served Lin Yunwan in the past.
"This slave is just a messenger!"
Lu Zhengliu waved his hand and asked the maid to step back, and asked Ge Baoer, "What do you want to do?"
Ge Baoer couldn't bear it anymore.
She has had enough!
"Uncle, I don't believe I'm the only one who wants to know if she is Lin Yunwan!"
Ge Baoer's skin is still white, and although his almond-shaped eyes are wrinkled and black, he still has the same ambition as when he first entered the palace.
She refused to admit defeat and asked: "Since you know that she is not dead, don't you have any idea at all?"
Lu Zhengliu was asked.
Ever since he learned that the Lin family had moved their graves, and recalled the time when Yun Wan was burned to death and when Lin Yunyi forced him to write a letter of divorce, he understood the Lin family's attitude of only seeking peace of mind.
"I know...she's not dead."
Lu Zhengliu closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "She is Princess Huan now."
It's not someone he can climb up to.
He laughed at Ge Baoer: "You don't think that you can do anything to Princess Huan just because of your shady relationship with Duke Xingguo?"
"Don't be so crazy."
Ge Baoer raised his neck and asked: "What if I can find evidence to expose her? Do you want to expose her? Or should you let her stay with Prince Huan and live happily?"
She sneered and said: "Uncle, you have reserved the position of your head wife for her. For her, now you only have a legitimate son, Chang Gong, and you don't recognize your own blood! But what about her, what kind of life is she living now? Carefree and happy."
Lu Zhengliu moved his lips.
He could barely hear himself, but he asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ge Baoer smiled and then said: "My mother went to check. The two maids Pingye and Taoye were at her husband's house after they got married. Lin Yunwan didn't see them when she returned to the capital. Although she had been with the Lin family, the Lin family There has been contact with the palace before, so this is not a clue."
"Ms. Guo, she hasn't seen her either?"
Lu Zhengliu suddenly thought of this person.
Ge Baoer said: "That lonely old woman has moved away a long time ago, and now she can't find anyone at all."
Lu Zhengliu sneered: "You searched a lot and found nothing?"
"Who said that?"
Ge Baoer said proudly: "Jiang Qianlin has a daughter who is married to a foreigner. She came to Beijing with her husband-in-law. Her husband Wen Hai also came here in a hurry to take the exam. Does the uncle know her relationship with Princess Huan?"
Lu Zhengliu didn't know.
After being driven away from the Lin family, he deliberately did not know anything about Lin Yunwan.
He was afraid that he would go crazy when he thought about her enjoying herself under King Huan.
"They are biological sisters! The Kewen family actually lives in a simple house, or they rent it."
"Uncle, do you think this is normal?"
This is not normal, but Lu Zhengliu no longer wants to know.
He said coldly: "That's it. Don't let me find out that you are leading the Lu family to dig their own graves. The long bow is about to win the Jinshi title. Our Lu family still has a chance to succeed."
He lifted his feet and left.
Ge Baoer gritted his teeth, his delicate face looking ferocious.
"I don't believe it. All the evidence has been found, and you still can't hold it back..."
She told the maid: "Get the car ready, I'm going to see the Wen family."
She didn't believe that even though Wen Hai and Lin Yunjiao were so wealthy, they could still keep their mouth shut.
"Brother, you won the exam, don't you have to go see the guests?"
Mu'er was holding the pen and was a little distracted when she heard the sound of gongs and drums outside.
Lu Changgong said calmly: "Concentrate."
Mu'er pursed her lips and asked, "Brother, do I have to learn to write?"
"Daughters can learn to write at home so that they can be sensible and intelligent, and know how to protect themselves when encountering injustice."
Mu'er was confused: "Brother, can't you protect me?"
Lu Changgong smiled and touched her head and said, "I can. But you are a girl, and my eldest brother cannot protect you."
"why?"
"Because Muer wants to get married when she grows up."
Mu'er put down her pen and said with a smile: "Then Mu'er won't get married, he will stay with his mother and eldest brother all his life."
Lu Changgong put the pen into her hand, held her little hand, and said, "Finish this one first."
Mu'er stuck out her tongue.
Her eldest brother noticed every little thought she had.
Lu Changgong knocked her on the head and said, "After you learn Three Hundred Thousand Thousands, my eldest brother will teach you to practice boxing, and when you grow up, you can practice swordsmanship. We will also go out to ride horses."
"Really?"
Mu'er's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Um."
Mu'er has the energy to practice calligraphy again.
Zhuqing brought the cakes in and asked with a smile: "Young master, why are you teaching Mu'er calligraphy today? Today is your special day, why don't you go out to meet guests?"
Lu Changgong didn't even look back and said in a gentle tone, "Mother is not here."
Zhuqing was immediately lost and sighed: "Grandma has a spirit in the sky, so she must know it. I think it was grandma who blessed you to win the exam."
Lu Changgong pursed his lips and smiled.
Mother should... know that he was successful.
