Chapter 22: Tanhualang

Lou Rui's exhortation was no more than those few words, but Lou Zishang and Lou Zize were still respectful, at least on the surface.

This year, the shape of Jingzhong shì has changed a lot, and Lou Xiang's sister-in-law seems to have suddenly entered the sight of others, since the carriage incident, rumors about them are different, but Lou Xiang has not said a word from beginning to end.

It is more equivalent to a kind of acquiescence, after all, Lou Zishang is the son of the lord of Heshuo, and Mrs. Lin has not been corrected...... I have worked hard for many years to be a flat wife, but I have not succeeded.

In front of the Gongyuan Gate, he stared at Lou Zishang with joy and worry, "Young master, relax, if you can't answer the question, let's rest, for three whole days, I heard that those sons in the past came out with soft legs...... Horizontal and vertical, we took the test before, and it is normal to not be in the middle. ”

Lou Zishang didn't expect this kid to say such a thing, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, Mifu slapped him on the head unceremoniously, and scolded in a low voice, "What nonsense?!" How to grow the morale of others to destroy their own prestige! ”

Joy pursed his mouth, the young master knows what material he has, and it is strange that he can be admitted! But seeing that Mifu seemed to be about to kill him, he suddenly didn't dare to say more.

Lou Zishang sighed lightly and smiled, "Okay, let's go back, don't worry, young master, I have my own measure." ”

"Young master, don't listen to his nonsense." Mifu said softly, "Come back and sleep in the dark after the exam, maybe ......."

She smiled mysteriously, Lou Zisheng's face was a little hot, and she coughed lightly, "...... The night is wet and cold, Mifu, remember to move that into the house. ”

Mifu smiled and said, "Young master, you have explained it three times, Mifu should keep it in mind." ”

Joy looked at the two of them, and suddenly his heart sighed, and he glanced at Mifu, and secretly had a plan in his heart.

Each candidate has a cubicle, and after the invigilator announced the rules, it officially began, and the examiner passed in front of him, and glanced at him with contempt, Lou Zishang didn't seem to check, this person was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the person from the Ruan family.

He knew that it would not be easy today, and these people had never seen him as an obstacle, but they were also wary of him.

The education he received when he was hostage was not comparable to that of the original owner, but when he arrived in Beijing...... The King of the Southwest never put this down.

In a word, don't lose the people of the Southwest Palace.

As Lou Zishang expected, the meals were distributed by a special person within three days, and the portion was even, and then it came to him...... That's half less.

He didn't care, he chuckled and put down his meal, and wrote hard.

On the second day, there were even fewer, Lou Zishang urged his internal strength, and his face looked a little pale, and on the third day, he ...... Only the bottom of the bowl.

Lou Zishang sighed lightly, checked the test papers, and went straight to sleep, but his face was pale, as if he had fainted, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu walked over with a smile, extremely satisfied.

And when the cannon sounded, he tidied up his clothes and went out, his body was even more shaky, Lou Zize saw it and quickly hugged the person, and said loudly, "Little brother, it's not the eldest brother who said you, this won't be a long time to count, why bother with yourself, look at it and look like you're afraid that you haven't rested at night, alas, you, you, you, you're stubborn, you have to fight for everything, why bother?!" ”

He was full of energy, his voice came from afar, he looked at Lou Zishang with lowered eyes, and the sarcasm was undisguised, Lou Zishang said weakly, "Zishang is not talented, not as good as the eldest brother, the eldest brother will definitely be able to stand out this time." ”

Lou Zishang seemed to have exhausted his last breath of strength, and after roaring, he fainted on Lou Zize's body, but this sound ...... It spread farther than Lou Zize.

Lou Zize gritted his teeth, eager to throw people out of his arms, but he could only think about it.

With worry on his face, he laboriously helped people out, and these three days ...... He was also very tired.

Joy looked at Lou Zishang who was helped out and her tears almost fell, but she was glared at by Mifu, and she held back again, and quickly stepped forward to catch the person and take her home.

Lou Zishang really hasn't eaten well in the past few days, but he has worked every night, and he hasn't been weak to that point, he slept dimly after eating and drinking, and was full of energy after getting up.

Lou Zize is slower than him, and he seems to be very anxious these days, Lou Zishang is nothing, but he can't be idle all day, the Great Qi imperial examination system is different from the previous dynasty, and the results of the examination will not be released, but the saint will directly announce the quota of the palace examination, Lou Zishang and Lou Zize are in the list, Lou Zize is even more proud, but I didn't expect Lou Zishang......

Mrs. Lin couldn't wait to eat him, but Lou Rui still didn't say a word.

After the palace test, Lou Zize's whole person didn't seem to be very good, and the joy was also every day, Ai Ai looked at Lou Zisheng, but he didn't dare to speak for fear of stimulating him.

Lou Zishang was dressed in a white robe, waving his wrist, and a little peach blossom jumped on the paper, but it seemed to be ...... It's empty.

Lou Zishang smiled softly, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said, "Joy, it's okay to help Mifu, don't wander around alone, I will be dizzy, young master." ”

“…… Master! You, aren't you in a hurry?! Xile spoke very quickly, "It's not that you don't know, in the past few days, it has been rumored that you have fainted before you leave the Tribute Courtyard, and you must be on the list, this must be the eldest young master and Mrs. Lin, don't you see the smug look of the people in Mrs. Lin's room, and the master, they are all his sons, how many times has he visited the eldest young master, are you here...... Haven't been here once! ”

In the end, he seemed to be very angry, Lou Zishang raised his eyes and suddenly laughed, pinching his face, "Silly thing, must it be a good thing if he comes?" ”

"That, that can't ...... either"

Mi Fu walked in with a teacup and said softly, "Young Master, you have been standing for a long time, moisten your mouth," she said and glanced at Xile, "Rumors are rumors, just because they are not facts, what do they do?!" ”

Lou Zishang glanced at Mifu appreciatively, and said lightly, "Joy, it's okay to learn from your sister Mifu." ”

Joy opens her mouth, you, do you know that she is much older than us? You're as old as me, young master!

He pursed his mouth, Lou Zishang looked at him with a smile on his sip of tea, and opened his mouth with joy without saying a word.

The day of the release of the list came soon, but Lou Zishang has become more and more anxious in the past few days, not because of the imperial examination, but because of ...... It's time for the Mighty Owl to come back.

A few days ago, Daqi won a great victory, Beidi sued for peace, King Su led the army almost into Beidi Kyoto, brought back countless trophies, and the soldiers returned with blood, the news came, the whole country rejoiced, and the army returned to the court!

Lou Zishang was a little stunned, and when he was thinking about it, he only heard the joyful exclamation outside almost breaking the voice, "Young master!" Master! Master! ”

In the end, there was a crying voice, and Mifu pulled his sleeve tightly and said urgently, "What's the matter?" What's wrong? Joy, you say! ”

The movement was too big, Mrs. Lin, Lou Rui, and Lou Zize rushed over one after another, Mrs. Lin covered her lips and smiled, with a sad face, "What if you don't win?" You can come back in the future, and you should not be so sad about joy. ”

"Alright, what does it look like!" Lou Rui frowned and shouted, "Joy, what about your rules?!" ”

When Lou Zishang came out, he heard a cry of joy's 'wow', looked up Mrs. Lin and Lou Zize were looking at it with a smile, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mifu help people up, frowning and coaxing, "What's the matter?" Say it well, don't cry. ”

"Less, young master." Joy hiccuped, but she was in a hurry to find a husband, Lou Zishang was a little helpless, "What's wrong?" ”

"Young Master, you! Medium, hit! Joy wow wow cried, "Master, the young master is hit, woo woo, hit!" ”

Lou Rui was taken aback, and Mrs. Lin frowned and drank lightly, "Don't joke about joy." ”

"The minions don't!" Joy retorted loudly, "Young master, the top three!" ”

After speaking, he cried again, "Young master, you, you are Tanhualang!" Young Master......"

Lou Zishang was also a little incredulous, but when she saw Xile's appearance, she hurriedly said, "Don't cry, don't cry, explore the flowers, what are you crying about?" ”

"Rejoice! Are you mistaken, young master? Mrs. Lin took a deep breath, "Don't you see the name of the eldest young master as your young master?" ”

Before Xile could refute, the gongs and drums sounded outside, and the butler came quickly, "Master, the good news official is here." ”

Lou Rui's face was happy, and then he sank, he didn't even receive any news before, Mrs. Lin almost fainted and held on, choking with joy, pulling Mifu's sleeves tightly, Mifu's smile couldn't be hidden.

Lou Zishang couldn't tell his mood for a while, and the good news official smiled again and again, "Congratulations to the prime minister, congratulations to the son, the prime minister's mansion is happy to explore the flowers, and the lower official will send you good news." ”

The matter has been settled, Mrs. Lin opened her mouth, and Lou Zize couldn't react, Lou Zishang ...... How could it be like this?! Lou Zishang?!

As soon as the official left, Lou Rui waved his hand, "Reward!" The maid and the woman will each be rewarded with three months' money, Zisheng," Lou Rui looked at him deeply, "I didn't embarrass the Lou family, I didn't embarrass your mother." ”

Lou Zishang's face seemed to be a little sluggish, and after a while, he couldn't help himself with excitement, "Father, father, son isn't dreaming, right?" ”

"Of course not! Hahaha", Lou Rui laughed loudly, "Zishang is doing well, ...... in the future ...... for the Father"

He didn't say anything, but several people knew it, and Lou Zize's face was pale as if he had been fished out of the winter lake, "Father......"

"Ze'er is not bad, and you have to work hard after taking the Jinshi exam." Lou Rui patted him on the shoulder, "Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden." ”

Lou Zize closed his eyes, "Yes." ”

The champion is a poor student, and the list has never been too conspicuous, but this time it is not bad, Tanhualang has always been outstanding in appearance, Tanhua Tanhua, no good appearance to explore what flowers.

"Zishang, follow me." Lou Rui called.

"Yes, father."

When the two arrived at the study, as in the past, they were silent for a long time, and Lou Rui said lightly, "That fox fur was sent back by His Royal Highness King Su." ”

Lou Zishang paused for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

"Mifu is good for you, but...... It's not his own family," Lou Rui glanced at him, "Joy is heartfelt, but that brain ......"

Lou Zishang glanced at him and said softly, "Father, you also know that Mifu is a member of the Third Highness. ”

Lou Rui suddenly sat up straight, "...... You're right, Zishang, the three halls are returning to the dynasty after work, and the limelight is in full swing, you ...... It's the same as before. ”

Lou Zishang lowered his eyes, and the smile in his eyes flashed, "Yes, father." ”
