Chapter Seventy-Six: The Past
is not what Lu Yiduo thought, this time Yin Pingru dragged on for a few months, and it was not until February of the following year that he went to talk to Lu Qingrong.
At that time, seeing Yin Pingru's positive face and a slightly cramped and uneasy expression, Lu Qingrong thought that something was wrong.
It wasn't until Yin Pingru finished talking about the events of the year while reminiscing that Lu Qingrong was relieved.
It turned out to be for this.
Yin Pingru just picked out some key points, such as her separation from He Kai, Lu Qingrong's relationship with the He family has long been severed, and later entered the Lu family tree, and told her about these things.
As for why he left He, as well as the qiē related to Qiu Muyun, he did not mention it.
The past is like a cloud of smoke for Yin Pingru, she is calm in her heart, and she also doesn't want Lu Qingrong to have any troubles because of this.
She just wanted Lu Qingrong not to listen to the rumors of others, and to stay away from the people of the He family, without increasing resentment and torturing herself.
Of course what she didn't know was that Lu Qingrong didn't need her to worry about it at all.
Lu Qingrong felt the same as her back then, and because everyone treated her as a baby at that time, she was afraid that she heard more things than Yin Pingru.
But now that he understood what Yin Pingru meant, Lu Qingrong also followed her words and asked, "He Qingwan is also in the women's school of the Yanguo Mansion now, or I won't go to class in the future, right?"
The reason why I asked this is just to see if my mother is really relieved of the past.
After all, this was the first time that their mother and daughter had spoken face-to-face about this matter.
Yin Pingru shook her head when she heard this: "Then why bother? As long as you know in your heart, don't get too close to her. ”
Lu Qingrong nodded solemnly.
"Why did my mother suddenly tell me about this today?" Lu Qingrong was a little puzzled, could it be that He Kai couldn't do anything in the next life?
"It was your father who asked me to tell you about the past, and you are also older, and you will be thirteen years old by your birthday next month, so you can't keep it a secret from you." Yin Pingru said honestly.
I see.
It's no wonder that my mother, who has always been secretive about this matter, suddenly talked about these things uncharacteristically today.
This made Lu Qingrong relax a little, and he didn't have to pretend not to know in the future.
On the contrary, she has always been more curious about whether He Qingwan knows these twists and turns.
If she knows, she has never revealed half a point in front of herself, if this style is all pretended, then her acting skills are a few points higher than Qiu Muyun at the beginning.
But if she didn't know, Lu Qingrong always felt that her eyes looked at her with a bit of deep meaning, which was not quite the same as when she looked at others.
Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much.
According to Lu Qingrong's own thoughts, the people of the He family, including He Qingwan, have become strangers with him, and they have nothing to do with him.
But thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little inexplicably worried, wondering if her father knew what she was thinking.
Fang Cai's mother also mentioned that it was Lu Yiduo who wanted her to understand the past, so now that she "understands", should she express it?
In the past ten years, she and Lu Yiduo have been like biological father and daughter, and even she can faintly feel that her father treats her better than her two sisters.
In her previous life, she often heard married friends around her say that there would be a lot of trouble in divorce and remarriage after having children, and she didn't care about it at the time.
Now that I have become this "child", I have found that if I don't handle it well, it is indeed easy to have unnecessary misunderstandings.
Lu Qingrong thought to himself that he still had to find a chance to explain it to Lu Yiduo.
Unexpectedly, she couldn't find this suitable opportunity for a long time.
February of the 32nd year of Jingxi was the period of the triennial imperial examination in the capital.
People from all provinces have entered Beijing to take the exam, making a last effort for the fame of Jinshi, including Lu Qingrong's eldest brother Lu Chengjie.
Originally, because his son was going to take the exam, Lu Yiduo thought that he would not be assigned any position in this exam.
didn't think that Ji Ming, the first assistant of the cabinet, would ensure that he was the chief examiner of this examination.
Lu Yiduo was born as a Jinshi and has the status of a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, so it was reasonable to serve as the chief examiner, but in order to avoid suspicion, he still sincerely shirked it.
In the end, due to the strong recommendation of Lord Shoufu and the similar precedent in the past of this dynasty, the position of the chief examiner of this year's examination still fell on Lu Yiduo's head.
For this reason, Lu Yiduo was still a little happy in his heart.
The prestige of the examiner among the candidates is naturally extraordinary, and those who are in the middle of the jinshi will worship the examiner as their teacher, so all the officials who are from the jinshi are very important to this.
The only fly in the ointment is that the deputy chief examiner this time turned out to be Qiu Yongan, the captain of the horses.
Although the rank of the Captain is the most noble, and he is ranked above the earl, he is only a title, and has no specific position, and has always been not allowed to participate in political affairs.
Qiu Yongan was born as a Jinshi, and because of the relationship between Princess Chengyang and Empress Dowager Wu, he was made an exception and was given the name of the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and in more than ten years, he was progressively promoted to a bachelor's degree, of course, he was still a name.
This time, I don't know why, I was able to squeeze in and do this deputy examiner.
Lu Yiduo didn't care too much about this, no matter what he said, he was just the deputy examiner, and he didn't need to look at his face.
But because Qiu Yongan is not very in charge, the director of Lu Yiduo's main exam has become extremely busy.
He personally supervised everything such as checking the list of candidates, arranging the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy, and arranging the invigilators, and he was so busy that he couldn't touch the ground.
Lu Qingrong hadn't been able to see Lu Yiduo for many days, let alone talk.
Today, the little maid she sent to guard the moon gate of the east courtyard finally came to report that Lu Yiduo had returned to the east courtyard and went to the study alone at this moment.
When Lu Qingrong heard this, he hurriedly walked out of the Wisteria Pavilion and walked towards the study.
I didn't think about it, but I was stopped by the little maid at the door of the study.
"Fourth Miss, there are guests in the eldest master's study." The little guy said respectfully.
"Didn't my father come back alone?" Lu Qingrong heard the maid say this just now.
"The eldest master came back alone, and the guest just entered the door."
"Who's coming?"
"Qiu Duwei of Princess Chengyang's Mansion."
Lu Qingrong was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"What is she doing here?" Lu Qingrong instinctively rushed out.
"It's not clear about this little one." I saw the little guy bow his head and respond.
Lu Qingrong also knew that he was not asking the right question.
She originally wanted to wait at the door for a while, but now that she knew that Qiu Yongan was inside, she didn't stay long, turned around and walked back.
At this time, she didn't know that less than a stick of incense had been done after she left, Qiu Yongan walked out of the study with an angry face and left angrily.
Walking on the way back to Wisteria Pavilion, Lu Qingrong was still wondering in his heart, what did this Qiu Yongan do when he came to his father, could it have something to do with him......
After thinking about it, that person was the deputy chief examiner of this examination, and he thought that he should have discussed business with his father.
Due to his excessive concentration, when he walked to the fork in the road to the South Courtyard, he almost collided with Jiang Ling who came from the opposite side.
"What do you think? So seriously! Jiang Ling asked with a playful smile.
Lu Qingrong was taken aback by his voice, and subconsciously spoke: "I didn't think about anything." ”
Jiang Ling stood there motionless, did not speak, and looked at her with a smile on his face.
After a while, Lu Qingrong finally came to his senses, and then asked, "Why are you here?" Didn't go to class today? ”
"It's not like I'm just going to meet you on the road."
Lu Qingrong looked up at the sun that was past noon, and then said, "I've used all the lunch, and you're only going to class now?" ”
"yes." Jiang Ling didn't want to say more, but seeing that Lu Qingrong didn't seem to be very happy, he thought that he had made her angry, so he went on to explain: "Your eldest brother is about to take part in the exam, and Mr. Chu will give him some precautions in the morning, so we who have landed naturally don't have to go." ”
Lu Qingrong felt particularly harsh when he heard him say this "landed showman", and he didn't know whether what he said was true or false, but fortunately he didn't delve into it anymore, and waved his hand at him: "Then you go quickly, don't be late, be careful on the road." ”
After speaking, Lu Qingrong didn't wait for him to answer, he walked straight to the Wisteria Pavilion absentmindedly, and didn't see Jiang Ling behind him with a bright smile on his face, staring intently at her back.
However, what Lu Qingrong didn't see fell into the eyes of Lu Qianyu, who happened to pass by. RS
