In the study, Lu Yijian wore a loose robe embroidered with a crane figure and sat on the couch.

He is now Langzhong of the Criminal Department, and he is still the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, a bunch of things are waiting for him to make decisions, and he is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground all day long, but he can be more comfortable in the past few days of the New Year, and he doesn't have to hold a shelf.

Holding a rabbit tea cup in one hand, the tea soup in the tea cup is steaming.

The surface of this tea soup is very fine, and there are no water marks, which shows that it is a good tea, and the kung fu of the tea orderer is also very good.

The other hand is holding a jade pendant to play, the texture on the jade pendant is very simple, revealing a bit of simple vicissitudes.

As for the yarn on the jade pendant, he is very familiar with it, and the jade ornaments he wore before marrying his wife are all like this.

After so many years, Seventeen Niang still loves this shape of the network.

Lu Yijian looked at Luo Zi and inadvertently remembered his life many years ago, rubbing the lines on the jade pendant and said: "Da Lang's hand carving skills are becoming more and more exquisite. ”

He still remembered that Xu Pingyi came to the Lu family when he was a child and carved his jade Ruyi into a shapeless shape, and now it is so well carved, no wonder those nobles are also proud of the jade carved by him.

Several jade carving masters in the capital may not be much better than him.

The jade pendant in Lu Yijian's hand was carved by Xu Pingyi for Xu Gucheng a few days ago.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Gucheng wore this jade pendant for the first time.

When preparing to worship outside the palace, two or three colleagues had inquired.

He just smiled and didn't say much.

Although he has been in Suzhou in the past few years, the jade carved by his eldest son has been forced by the people in the capital to know about it.

But he didn't want his eldest son's life to be affected by this incident, so he smiled low-key, and rarely emphasized the matter at home, only treating it as the most ordinary thing.

Today, as soon as Lu Yijian entered the study, he said that he wanted to take a look at the jade carved by Xu Pingyi, which did not have the tall and solemn image that should be in the criminal department.

Xu Gucheng didn't say a word at the time and directly picked it up for him.

When Lu Yijian spoke, Xu Gucheng sat in front of the tea table and ordered tea, and was brushing, so he didn't answer.

It wasn't until he finished the tea opera that he said: "I never expected him to have such a talent, and he was willing to bother to study it." It's just that no matter how good the carving is, it's just a hobby, and you can't make a living from it full-time. ”

When he spoke, he had a faint look on his face. Can't see if it's supported.

Lu Yijian saw that the newly made tea Baixi tea was the carved pattern of the jade pendant in his hand, and he knew that Xu Gucheng did not object to this matter, and couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you say that Da Lang was determined to go through the imperial examination? You don't have to worry, he is so smart." As long as you have the heart to take the test, you will definitely be able to make the list. However, I haven't seen you make tea operas for many years, and now you are also making patterns other than landscapes?"

Those who know Xu Pingyi know that he doesn't like the imperial examination, otherwise he would not have abandoned the examination twice.

Xu Gucheng washed the tea set with water. After arranging it neatly, he stood up and said: "With such a casual and casual temperament, even if he is an official, I am afraid that he will not do his best, and a hat will become an object that restricts his actions." ”

In his words, he believed that Xu Pingyi could be admitted to the Jinshi, but what he was worried about now was that Xu Pingyi became an official after becoming a Jinshi.

He really never thought that his eldest son would suddenly come to him to ask for his notes from the imperial examination that year, and said that he would study wholeheartedly in the future and gain fame in the examination, so that he could rest assured.

The eldest son was suddenly so positive, which really surprised him.

After all, he watched this son grow up. He knew exactly what kind of person the eldest son was, and he was really surprised by the decision of the eldest son.

Later, he learned that it was after Concubine Sun's birthday, and the eldest son changed his attitude and made this decision in order to have the ability to protect the promise.

Because there are people to protect who want to be strong, this is normal, but Xu Gucheng is still worried that the path of the imperial examination is not suitable for Xu Pingyi.

"That's a child's business, you don't have to worry about it, he's at his age, he understands this. ”

Lu Yijian comforted, took the jade pendant to his waist a few times, and waited for Xu Gucheng to say a word to you. But I couldn't wait.

"Well, I won't interfere with the decisions he makes. But the Queen's side ......"

Xu Gucheng turned a blind eye to Lu Yijian's obvious hints, and began to talk about business as soon as the topic changed.

His son carved jade for so many years, except for the half-finished products that could not be seen when he was a child. It was the first time he had officially given him a jade pendant, and he naturally couldn't transfer it.

On the other side, Xu Yue and Lu Jiuniang held hands and talked for a long time, and then went to have a well-prepared dinner together, and quickly became little sisters who loved each other.

Youzheng, the Xu family of five was personally sent to the Hanging Flower Gate by Lu Yijian.

After the Xu family left. Lu Jiuniang dragged her mother and said that she might follow the promise to kick the bow tomorrow.

Ma naturally nodded in agreement, and lovingly helped Lu Jiuniang straighten her collar.

Seeing Ma's promise, Lu Jiuniang casually boasted: "Cousin Xu Liu has been separated from her family for many years, and she is very pitiful, but fortunately she is back now." I see that her etiquette is the best, no less than any boudoir woman in the capital, and her standard etiquette can't be faulted by grandmother. ”

Lu Jiuniang intended to resolve Mrs. Lu's attitude towards the promise, but she was embarrassed to say it clearly, so she said it in a roundabout way.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Lu, who was drinking tea with a tea cup.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she glanced at the position where she had been sitting during the promised meal, but did not say anything.

Lu Jiuniang stuck out her tongue and stopped talking about this topic.

On the carriage back to Xu's house, Xu Yue obviously felt that Lu's mood was a little strange, both happy and a little unhappy.

When she returned to Xu's house, she immediately asked Mama Li to ask.

Mama Li was reluctant to say it, and promised to know that there must be something going on here, and she used all her skills to be coquettish, so Mama Li revealed something.

It turned out that the Lu family found out that Mrs. Lu did not have a pampering for other granddaughters and grandchildren for the promise, and there was a pimple in her heart.

If there is any weakness in promise, then it is the Lu family.

She has always been reluctant to let the Lu family suffer any grievances.

After Lu Shi changed back to her original temperament, she was already able to protect herself, but in the face of her mother's cold attitude towards her daughter, she was really powerless and didn't know how to start.

Do you want to tell your mother that she shouldn't be like this, that the child is innocent?

When she disregarded the opposition of her clan and almost turned against her mother before she married Xu Gucheng, she knew that she had planted a thorn in her mother's heart, a deep and poisonous thorn.

And as the person who planted this thorn, she really didn't have the face to pull it out.

When Xu Gucheng came to the Lu family to ask for marriage, the Lu clan naturally did not want such an excellent lady to marry into the Xu family, who was born as a tea merchant, after all, with the talent and appearance of the Lu family, she could marry into any big family in the capital.

In the eyes of those people, an excellent lady like the Lu family is the right way to marry other big clans for the benefit of the family. (To be continued.)
