In the blink of an eye, it has been two days since he returned from the incense of Dajue Temple, and tomorrow Lu Yan is about to leave the field to take the children's exam.

"How's the preparation? Don't put pressure on yourself, you're still young, it's not a big deal if you don't get in, just study hard for a few more years behind closed doors. In Lihe Courtyard, the eldest lady was kindly asking about her eldest son's exam preparation.

"Mrs. Hui, everything is almost ready. The gentleman said the same thing, saying that it doesn't matter if you don't win, just accumulate experience. Lu Yan bowed and replied.

The sister-in-law has been studying in the academy all the year round, although he is not very close to himself, his attitude has always been respectful, and the eldest lady is quite satisfied.

"That's very good. I'm worried that you're too young and not stable enough, and putting too much pressure on yourself will backfire. ”

"Thank you, Madame, for your concern."

"Your sister is still waiting for you in Qiuhua Courtyard, she went to Dajue Temple two days ago to ask for a peace charm for you, you sister and brother may not have seen each other for a long time, I won't delay you, go." The eldest lady knew that the two of them had always had a deep relationship, and it was enough to give her the respect of the stepfamily if they could come over and greet the old lady after seeing the old lady from the academy.

Lu Yan's face, which had always been calm and calm, really showed a faint smile: "That kid has retired." ”

"Sister, I'm back!" As soon as he stepped into Qiuhua Courtyard, Lu Yan seemed to be a different person, and shouted loudly before he reached the door of the main room.

Bai Lan in the room hurriedly greeted her: "Young Master, you can come back, the eldest lady has been waiting for you." ”

Lu Yan nodded, and couldn't wait to follow her into the main room, with an excited smile on his face.

"Stinky boy, you're going to die, and you're still babbling like this, and I don't know where Mr. came from to praise you for his steady words." Zhihua scolded with a smile when she saw her younger brother's excited little appearance.

Lu Yan scratched his head embarrassedly and smirked.

Zhihua knew that as soon as he came back, many people would ask about preparing for the exam, she didn't want to put too much pressure on her brother, so she didn't mention it at all, and only handed him a delicate little bag in her arms: "This is the peace charm I asked for for you in Dajue Temple, my sister doesn't care if you are high or not, peace is what my sister hopes for the most." ”

Lu Yan took it with both hands with emotion, but said mischievously and deliberately: "Sister is really stingy, Jingyuezhai's business is so good, it is rare for you to give your brother a gift, and you don't give a valuable one." ”

Zhihua has never lost in the fight: "My sister has saved all the money she earns, and I will marry a beautiful daughter-in-law for my brother in the future." ”

Lu Yan Zaitao was also an eleven-year-old boy, and immediately blushed, and whispered angrily: "My sister will bully my younger brother." ”

"Yo, marrying you a beautiful daughter-in-law is bullying you? Could it be that my brother likes to be ugly? Well, when the time comes, my sister will pick the ugly one and tell you. ”

Facing her sharp-toothed sister, Lu Yan threw down a sentence: "I'll go back to prepare for the exam." "I was so ashamed that I threw away my armor and fled.

Seeing that a joke made his face look truly relaxed, Zhihua smiled slightly, and his mood improved.

The masters of the Lu family's big house focused their attention on the preparation of the eldest young master's exam, of course, with the exception of Aunt Zhou's mother and daughter. Aunt Zhou is now full of raising her two daughters, fighting down the mother of the big house, she doesn't have the time to care about the eldest young master, the seventh miss is young and ignorant, and the second miss Lu Zhixiang is now staring at a letter in her hand, in a daze for a quarter of an hour.

After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, for the safety of the daughters, the boudoir was closed for two months, Zhixiang hadn't seen her good friend Li Yuxue for a long time, and she didn't want to suddenly receive a letter from her today, which also contained a plan that made her heart flutter.

Their mother and daughter are in this situation now, all thanks to the eldest sister, Zhixiang doesn't want to retaliate, but with the old lady's mountain pressing, she can't find a chance to do it. Now with Li Yuxue's strong foreign aid and such a careful plan, how could Zhixiang miss this opportunity? After thinking carefully for two quarters of an hour, and determining that this plan had a high chance of success, and she didn't need to improve it anymore, Zhixiang decided to take action after Lu Yan's exam was over.

The night passed quickly, and the next day, Zhihua got up early in the morning and personally sent her younger brother off the exam.

Jing'anguo's children's examination is relatively simple, only one test, candidates line up to hand in the paper after writing, the marking officer on the spot to review, if qualified, stamped with a red seal, not a blue seal. The test papers stamped with the red seal must be collected and reviewed for the second time, so as not to be mixed with those who fish in mixed waters, and generally candidates with real materials can basically be said to have passed the exam after the first review, so after Lu Yan returned home after the exam, he still had a look of joy on his face that could not be concealed.

"Grandson greets the old lady." After returning home, Lu Yan first came to Songling Hospital to report to the old lady according to the rules. In order to show the importance of the eldest young master, the owners of the big house gathered here, waiting for Lu Yan to return from the exam.

"Well, how did you do on the exam?" The old lady asked with a blank expression.

"Mrs. Hongfu, the first audit has passed." The old lady's coldness calmed Lu Yan down from the excitement of the exam, and the smile on her face also subsided a little.

"The results of the review will not be announced until three days later, and you are too early to be happy. You are the eldest grandson of the Lu family, you should be more calm when you encounter things, and it is the most basic thing for you to do it, remember? Seeing the proud appearance of the eldest sister and brother, the old lady thought of her youngest son who was far away at the border, and her heart should be panicked, so she couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on it.

"The old lady has taught her a lesson, and her grandson has been taught." Lu Yan looked at him.

The eldest lady was bent on enveloping her son-in-law, and during this time, she and the second lady were housekeepers, so she gradually gained confidence, so she interjected: "The old lady also feels sorry for the eldest young master, so I will teach a few lessons." With the knowledge of the eldest young master, it must be easy to review it through guò. The children in the examination are also happy events, we should put on a family banquet to celebrate. ”

On weekdays, the masters of the Lu family eat in the small courtyard where they live, and only when there is a family banquet, will they gather together. The old lady just wants to get out of the Songling courtyard and clean up the big house at the moment, how can she agree to hold a family banquet for Lu Yan to celebrate.

Snorted coldly, she didn't give the eldest lady any face and said: "What is a middle child, if you want to celebrate, you go back and tell the kitchen to add a few more dishes to the eldest young master, and there is no need to hold a family banquet." If you can be the champion of high school in the future, it will be a great joy, you just go to the restaurant to set a three-day flowing water banquet and don't care about the old body. For now, let's keep a low profile, lest Yan'er's classmates know about it and say that he is arrogant behind his back. ”

The eldest lady has long been accustomed to the ruthlessness of the old lady, and she doesn't think it's a pestle, anyway, she has done enough to win over the eldest young master. Therefore, he said respectfully: "What the old lady said is true. ”

No matter what the old lady's original intention was to teach her younger brother a lesson, what she said was right, so Zhihua only watched from the side and didn't say much. However, seeing his brother's collapsed little face, he still couldn't bear it after all, and said to him with a smile: "Since my brother will have good food there today, my sister will reluctantly go to Qingyun Courtyard to celebrate with you in a while." ”

Lu Yan was happy, but the old lady taught her a lesson, so she didn't dare to show it, so she only nodded vigorously at her sister.

Seeing the old lady's impatient look, everyone retired with interest. Walking out of Songling Courtyard, the two Zhihua sisters and brothers quit their eldest lady and went to Qingyun Courtyard, not wanting to hear the voice of the second lady Zhixiang behind them: "Brother and sister, wait for me." ”

Zhihua and Lu Yan both looked surprised, and both turned to look at Zhixiang who was walking quickly. "Brother, I also want to go to Qingyun Academy to celebrate with you." Zhixiang's tone was kind, and a look of admiration appeared on her face.

The second sister, who has always been cold to herself, suddenly expressed such a statement, Lu Yan only thought that she wanted to curry favor because she was admitted to the middle school and had a bright future, and she was disgusted, and said coldly: "No need, the old lady just said that you can't be arrogant, it's good that I have my sister with me." My sister was kind, and my brother got it. ”

Zhihua knew what she was doing, and she didn't want to have an unappetizing person stay aside during the meal, so she took the initiative to say: "If my sister has anything to say, just say it here, you don't need to eat." Aunt Zhou has your favorite dishes every day, so don't waste a piece of her motherly heart. ”

Zhixiang showed a sad expression on her face after being rejected, and carefully flattered the eldest sister and said, "My brother has passed the Tongsheng examination, and my sister will go to the temple to make a wish in a few days, right?" Can you bring your sister with you? I can't study, and my aunt doesn't let me go out, and I'm about to suffocate at home, sister, you can do it, take me out to breathe. ”

"Last time, I just asked for a peace charm, and I didn't pray for my brother's autumn test, so I don't have to go to the temple to make a vow. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my sister. Zhihua smiled faintly.

"This ......," Zhixiang said, not expecting her to say that.

Lu Yan saw that she couldn't make a fool of herself, so she turned her head to please her sister, and her disgust was even deeper, so she didn't want to pay attention to this kind of person anymore, so she turned to her sister and said, "Sister, let's go, I'm hungry." ”

Seeing that the eldest sister nodded, and was about to leave with her brother, Zhixiang was in a hurry, and pleaded with tears: "Sister, now you are the only sister who can come and go freely in the house, you can pity your poor sister for more than a month, take me out to play for a while." ”

"My sister said that, I seem to like to go out all day long. Recently, Beijing has not been peaceful, I have nothing to do and can't go out at will, my sister please be cautious. Zhihua didn't eat it softly and hard, but she refused to nod her head and agree.

"Sister, don't worry, it's my sister who said the wrong thing, and my sister can't compensate my sister. But since my sister is asking my brother for safety, and now that my brother has passed the exam safely, shouldn't my sister also go to the Buddha to offer incense and thank the Bodhisattva for his blessing? Sister, you just promise your sister, and my sister promises that she will be obedient and obedient, and she will never cause you trouble. "In Su Ri, Zhihua has never been close to her, every time she visits Qiuhua Courtyard, nine times out of ten she finds an excuse to avoid it, and if she misses today, Zhixiang doesn't know when she will have the opportunity to propose to her to go out together, so she stalks and swears not to give up.

Zhihua also knew this, and the repeated refusal just now was to give Zhixiang a chance to withdraw. If she still had a trace of conscience in her heart, she should have retreated from the few refusals just now and no longer participated in Li Yuxue's plan. However, she still underestimated the resentment that Zhixiang had against her in her heart, and she would never stop if she didn't succeed.

"Since my sister said so, well, I'll let you know when I go to the temple again."

In her previous life, Aunt Zhou and Li Yuxue colluded, but now Aunt Zhou doesn't have the mind or the ability, Li Yuxue actually chose Lu Zhixiang to cooperate again, I don't know if Zhixiang and her aunt will be more clever than each other? Zhihua thought evilly in her heart.
