In the next few days, Lu Yiduo continued to be so busy that he rarely returned home, and Lu Qingrong never found a chance to talk to him.

And there is another thing these days that makes Lu Qingrong very puzzled.

Lu Qianyu hadn't spoken to her for several days.

It's just that I didn't come to her room when I was in Wisteria Pavilion, and even when I went to the girls' school, I deliberately sat with her across the door.

And Lu Qianyu's interaction with Lu Manyu and Jiang Yunpei is the same as usual, the only difference is that he ignores himself.

If Lu Qingrong took the initiative to talk to her, she would have answered, but her tone became very cold.

In the end, Lu Qingrong couldn't hold back, and when they came back from the school and entered the Wisteria Pavilion, before Lu Qianyu went upstairs, he took the initiative to ask, "Second sister, what's wrong with you these days?" ”

"Not really."

can look at Lu Qianyu's expression, no matter what, it doesn't look like "not much".

Lu Qingrong was about to ask her directly if she had done something that made her misunderstand, but Lu Qianyu opened her mouth first.

"Do you have someone you like in your heart, but you don't tell me?"

Someone you like?

Lu Qingrong was stunned by her question, and he was completely confused.

Seeing this, Lu Qianyu continued to ask: "At noon one day a few days ago, at the fork in the road in the South Courtyard, are you with Jiang Gongzi...... A private meeting? ”

It turned out to be because of this!

Lu Qingrong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, while admiring Lu Qianyu's imagination very much, he was also somewhat relieved in his heart.

"Second sister, what are you talking about! That day, I was on the way back to Wisteria Pavilion, and I ran into him by chance, where did I get a private meeting! ”

Lu Qianyu was a little unconvinced: "I just had lunch on weekdays, even if we don't take a nap, we won't go out." It happened that I had been in my mother's house for a long time that day, so I passed by there. ”

Seeing Lu Qianyu's increasingly strict face, Lu Qingrong also suppressed his smile and seriously explained the reason for that day.

"I went to the study to look for my father that day, but I didn't expect my father to have a guest, so I met Jiang Gongzi on the way back."

Lu Qingrong thought for a while, and added: "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask if your father came back at noon that day, and if there was a guest in the study." ”

Seeing that she said it in such detail, Lu Qianyu believed her, but she didn't say anything more, just left a sentence "It's good if it's not a private meeting", and turned her head and went upstairs alone.

Lu Qingrong saw that she didn't seem to be completely relieved, but he also felt that he had explained it very clearly.

In fact, what she didn't understand was that what Lu Qianyu really cared about was not about their meeting, but about the smile that appeared on Jiang Ling's face that day.

Jiang Ling usually spoke very little, let alone laughed.

Lu Qianyu had almost never seen Jiang Ling smile at others, and he smiled so brightly.

As she grew older, Lu Qianyu's feelings for Jiang Ling seemed to become clearer and clearer.

At the beginning, Yin Pingru and the Gu family had privately discussed the matter of Lu Qianyu and Yin Zihao, and Lu Yiduo was also very much in favor of this, but because the two were still young, and Yin Pingru had never advocated that children marry too early, this matter had been dragged on like this, so Lu Qianyu had no idea about it, and he invisibly let go of his different feelings about Jiang Ling......

Lu Qingrong saw Lu Qianyu's mind very early, so he spared no effort to explain to her.

But I don't want Lu Qianyu to ignore people like she did a few days ago, but she didn't return to her usual enthusiastic appearance, and she was still a little cold to her.

Until the day of the exam, when everyone sent Lu Cheng to the door together, Lu Qianyu was still lukewarm to her.

Lu Qingrong didn't care, after all, he had already explained it very clearly, and he thought it would be fine in a few days.

The examination is also conducted three times, starting from the ninth day of February and ending on February 17.

Of course, Lu Chengjie can't go back home these days.

As the chief examiner, Lu Yiduo, in order to uphold the principle of fair selection, has been living in the Gongyuan since the past few days, and has put an end to contact with the outside world.

In the morning, Lu Chengjie was sent away with everyone, and Lu Qingrong and Jiang Yunpei picked up the piano in the South Courtyard together.

Originally, they learned together when they were children, and Lu Qingrong's skills were no worse than Jiang Yunpei's, but because he had lived in Wisteria Pavilion with his sisters in the past two years, he was afraid of disturbing everyone's purity, so he was a little neglected to practice.

The two of them originally planned to play after lunch, but at noon, Jiang Shenzhi returned to Lu Mansion from Hanlin Academy.

Jiang Shenzhi hadn't been back for a long time, and this time it was because of the exam, the Hanlin Academy's book revision had been postponed for a while, and he could take a break.

Lu Qingrong did not disturb their reunion, and stayed in the main house to talk to his mother after lunch.

Yin Pingru was embroidering the dark cardigan in her hand, and said while embroidering at this time: "Did you quarrel with Sister Qian'er?" I don't think she looked very kind to you just now. ”

Listening to his mother's inquiry with a smile, Lu Qingrong also replied with a smile: "How is it possible!" Have we ever quarreled? It's just a misunderstanding, it's been explained! ”

She didn't want to expose Lu Qianyu in front of her mother, so she touched the long gown in her mother's hand, and then said, "This dress is made for my father, right?" ”

Yin Pingru nodded, knowing in her heart that their sisters had always been good, but at this time, she knew that she was interrupting, but she didn't ask again.

And at this moment, a maid suddenly ran in outside and said, "The eldest young master is back!" ”

Lu Qingrong and Yin Pingru were shocked when they heard this!

It's going to take three days to take a test, so why did you come back now when you entered the venue this morning?

"Let him in!" Yin Pingru said anxiously.

Lu Chengjie walked into the main room and shouted while saluting: "Mother." ”

"Why did you come back early? But what happened in the exam room? ”

"Something happened, but it has nothing to do with us." Lu Chengjie's expression was not different, and he said slowly: "It's not just me, all the candidates have left the venue first, and you need to wait for another notice when the exam will start." ”

Seeing that Yin Pingru and Lu Qingrong were both looking at him blankly, Lu Chengjie recalled what had just happened.

"After entering the venue today, not long after the exam questions were issued, a lot of officers and soldiers suddenly poured into the examination room, carefully checking each examination booth and candidates, and then let us come back first."

Yin Pingru immediately reacted when she heard this: "But someone cheats? ”

"I guess so." Lu Chengjie continued: "As soon as I left the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, I ran into Di Qian. Hearing him say that someone in their platoon of examination booths was searched and taken away by officers and soldiers on the spot. I think it's a problematic candidate, but I haven't been able to come back today. ”

As soon as Lu Chengjie finished speaking, Yin Pingru and Lu Qingrong both felt that something seemed to be wrong.

Lu Qingrong suddenly asked, "What about my father?" ”RS
