CHAPTER XXXII
The imperial examination is approaching, and the court is busy.
Tang Shangshu, who was in charge of the imperial examination, worked particularly hard, and was busy until late at night all day, and he had not returned home for half a month.
Mrs. Tang's letter to Tang Qianqian received a reply, and seeing her daughter's plan, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, her daughter is smart, although the plan is full of loopholes, it is rare to be ruthless, and once she starts, there is no place to turn back.
Naturally, she wanted to help her daughter.
Although the Lu family is not good now, it can't stand the sudden appearance of General Lu one day, and the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is, no matter how bad the Lu family is, Tang Qianqian likes it, then she should find a way to get it.
Lu Ziqian's purpose was not to take the exam, so naturally he didn't have the heart to review the books, while he was still in the capital, he went to visit the Lu family's subordinates and the officials he had befriended every day, and asked them to take care of Ruyi.
This is a long way to go to the border pass, and in the same way, he also knows what kind of danger Ruyi will endure if he stays in Beijing.
It is precisely because I know that I feel distressed.
In the past, Lu Ziqian's favorite thing to do was to chant poems, boil tea and listen to the wind, and the spring and snow were so comfortable. If you encounter the biggest setback, it may be the cynicism of his childhood friend Cheng Yi.
But falling into the clouds overnight, Lu Ziqian seemed to be woken up by cold water. The hard work of rushing overnight, the wolf bรจi who fled in a hurry, made the boy who didn't know the world grow up instantly.
Assist Second Master Lu to support the Lu family, so that Master Lu has no worries, this is what the Lu family should do.
However, the rumors intensified, and all the subordinates sent to find people had no news, and Second Master Lu worked hard all day long, so he had to find Master Lu.
led Lu Ziqian to the border, this dignified and upright conspiracy was there, and he still had to jump off the fire pit by himself.
Lu Ziqian sat in front of the window of the study and smiled bitterly.
The curtain of the door cracked softly, and the familiar fragrance wafted in.
Lu Ziqian smiled and turned around, "Ruyi, you're here." โ
His little wife was wearing a goose-yellow brocade skirt and holding a food box in her hand, standing at the door with a pretty look.
"Nerd, I'm coming to see you! What are you thinking? โ
Lu Ziqian looked at this wishful hand and lightly brought the food box over, and placed the things neatly in the same way.
The meal had just been cooked and was steaming hot.
Ruyi put the chopsticks aside, "Today Aunt Wang is sick, I gave her a day off, other cooks are not always that taste, I think we have been in the capital for almost half a month, so I simply let people go to Zhiweilou to ask for a few dishes, how about you taste it?" โ
Through the heat, Ruyi's face couldn't be seen, only the soft voice sounded unhurriedly in his ears.
This is home, right?
Lu Ziqian's eyes were a little astringent, and he reached out to hug Ruyi in his arms.
Ruyi exclaimed, and twisted Lu Ziqian's ear with one hand, "Stinky nerd!" What are you doing to hug me suddenly? You see, the soup is all spilled! โ
Lu Ziqian buried his head in Ruyi's neck and said in a muffled voice, "I'm about to leave, I can't bear you." โ
The snow has not melted since Sanli Town, and it is now the end of April.
Counting the days, there are still a few days to go to the scientific examination, and the release of the list is only the beginning of June, and the days when Lu Ziqian can still be by her side are only more than a month.
Ruyi thought, his nose was sour, and he turned around and hugged Lu Ziqian's neck, "Lu nerd, when will you come back?" โ
Lu Ziqian rubbed his neck, "I'll come back when I find my father, don't worry." It's just Ruyi, will you think of me? You and Tang Qian every day...... When Tang Qiao was stubborn together, why didn't you see you thinking of me? โ
Ruyi was a little embarrassed, "I...... Hey, nerd! You even eat a girl's vinegar? โ
Lu Ziqian bit Ruyi's earlobe affectionately, "I like ......"
Ruyi groaned, and her body softened.
โฆโฆ
By the end of the day, the food on the table had already been cold.
Ruyi was lying in bed with a sore back.
"Land nerd! You...... You're tossing me to death, and I'm going shopping with Qiao'er tomorrow, what can I do? โ
Lu Ziqian cleaned the two of them, got out of bed to clean up the food, and prepared to let people take it down to heat it, after all, Ruyi's current appearance is really not good for the girls to come in.
"Good lady, give you a massage for your husband."
Ruyi turned over angrily, "Who wants you!" I'll sleep first, and call me when the meal is ready. โ
Lu Ziqian said gently, "Okay, you can rest." โ
Just as he was about to put the last dish into the box, Lu Ziqian felt a note at the bottom of the bowl.
Lu Ziqian remained silent, put the note into his sleeve, turned around and went out, and closed the door for Ruyi. Instructed his subordinates to take away the food, Lu Ziqian returned to the bedroom and unfolded the note.
'Tonight, under the big locust tree, urgent. โ
The font is elegant and elegant.
Lu Ziqian narrowed his eyes, he was very familiar with this handwriting, who else was Tang Qianqian? The two have been married for many years, although they can't meet, Tang Qianqian will send him a letter from time to time, or invite him in a courtesy post. At that time, he was young and romantic, and he loved a fair lady with elegant manners like Tang Qianqian, and he would reply to her a few poems when he was interested.
Although he stopped replying to letters when he was older, he was afraid of being rude, but Tang Qianqian's letters were sent to him for ten years, did he really not recognize them?
Is this ready to admit identity and have a showdown with him?
These days, he doesn't know how to tell Ruyi about Tang Qianqian's identity, he is afraid that Ruyi will be too careful, and he doesn't know how to explain it. Tang Qianqian is an outsider after all, and if he wants to avoid suspicion on weekdays, he has no chance to speak.
This will be her own collision, just an opportunity to solve all the dangers for Ruyi before he leaves.
Thinking of Ruyi taking a break in the study, a trace of tenderness flashed in Lu Ziqian's eyes.
โฆโฆ
Xu was tired after tossing for an afternoon, and rested again after eating as he wished.
When Lu Ziqian waited for Hai, he lightly put on his coat, avoided Su'er, who slept sweetly at night, and walked out.
The big locust tree is in the middle of the backyard of this house, and it is said to be an ancient tree of the Five Dynasties, which is very old.
When Lu Ziqian arrived, Tang Qianqian had been waiting for a long time, and her face was frozen white.
"What do you have to say? Miss Tang? โ
Tang Qianqian turned her back to him, and turned around in surprise when she heard the footsteps, but when she heard such a sentence, her originally pale face was even more bloodless, and she looked pitiful, "Brother Ziqian, you ...... You know it all? โ
Lu Ziqian was disgusted by her brother Ziqian, "The words you made up are full of loopholes, I naturally know." Miss Tang, please respect yourself, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Also, whatever your purpose, I don't want to see anything happen to you. โ
Tang Qianqian was ashamed and indignant.
Her brother Ziqian, please respect herself?
Holding back her tears, Tang Qianqian asked, "Young Master Lu, you only want to ask, why did you withdraw from the marriage in the first place?" What do you think of me? โ
Lu Ziqian lowered his eyes, "If something happens to my Lu family, how can I affect others." โ
Tang Qianqian stretched out her hand and wiped her tears, "I don't care!" Child...... Young Master Lu, I'm not afraid of hardship. For more than 10 years, my mind has ...... Don't you understand? As long as you want, I can make my sister a flat wife......"
Lu Ziqian said angrily: "Miss Tang! I already have a wife! I, Lu Ziqian, have been a couple for the rest of my life, and I will never fail her, please don't say such things again. โ
Tang Qianqian's body shook, her mouth full of bitterness.
In that case, how nice would it be if it was said to her?
โโฆโฆ Young Master Lu, I understand, don't worry, I'm ...... I'm not the kind of person who stalks, and since you and your sister are in love, I'll bless ......"
Lu Ziqian didn't overdo it, a little guilty.
The Lu family is sorry for Tang Qianqian, this is a fact.
"I won't ask you why you came here to stay, just wait for Uncle Tang to be free, and ask you to go back by yourself, don't make trouble for Ruyi."
Tang Qianqian forced out a smile: "I'm here to ask you...... Since you say that, I don't have the face to live anymore, but I made an appointment with my sister to go shopping tomorrow, and I will leave the day after tomorrow. โ
Lu Ziqian nodded, "It's not too early, Miss Tang should go back to the room early." โ
Tang Qianqian watched Lu Ziqian leave without looking back, and her heart was cold and piercing.
Lu Ziqian, I gave you a chance, and since you are ruthless, then don't blame me for being ruthless.
