Chapter 8: The Tributes
Gu Shi and Yin Pingru returned to the hall together and let the little guy come in and reply.
Lu Qingrong was playing with Yin Zihao in the hall.
I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who looked very clever, running in with a happy face and shouting, "Good news!" Good news! Congratulations to Mrs. will try to release the list, our master has taken the seventh place in the exam, and has become a tribute of Daqi! ”
The Gu family was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the maid to take the reward money to this little guy.
Yin Pingru couldn't help but fold her hands and thank the Bodhisattva for her blessing.
Brother Yin Qinghua entered Beijing to participate in the examination as a lifter, and now he has taken the seventh place in the exam, and only the palace examination is left behind.
According to the imperial examination system of Daqi, the person who has passed the guò examination can be called a "tribute scholar", and after the palace examination, he will become a serious 800 jinshi origin.
As has been the practice over the years, there will basically be no more screening in the palace examination, but just a re-ranking of the tributes.
Yin Qinghua's Jinshi can be said to be nine out of ten, and the seventh place of the Gongshi, if he performs exceptionally during the palace examination, it may not be impossible to rank among the top three.
Yin Pingru was happy for her brother from the bottom of her heart, and congratulated the Gu family with a happy face.
Gu Shi cried with joy, covered his face with a handkerchief, and actually cried.
Yin Zihao on the side saw his mother crying and laughing for a while, he was a little surprised at first, and later he also saw that his mother was happy, he followed his father at the age of three, he was very smart, and now adults can understand almost everything they say and do.
Not to mention Lu Qingrong, since the little girl reported the good news just now, she has already begun to grin at her mother and aunt.
Although this uncle has never seen it herself, as long as her mother is happy, she will naturally be happy, and she has always felt that her aunt is very kind and kind, so she also has a good impression of the uncle she has never met.
Besides, with Yin Pingru's current situation in the He family, there is an elder brother who was born in Jinshi, no matter what plans his mother has in the future, it will always be better than now.
Lu Qingrong thought secretly in his heart.
Gu Shi finally wiped away her tears, and the smile returned to her face. As if he suddenly remembered something, he asked the little guy, "In addition to our master, are there other people we have heard of on the list?" ”
"As soon as the list was released, the master saw his ranking, so he ordered the little one to come back and report to you immediately!" The little guy hurriedly replied attentively, "That's right, there is!" Yes! Our Xie Yuan Qiu Yongan from Shandong won the twentieth place in the exam! ”
Qiu Yongan is Qiu Muyun's eldest brother.
Both Yin Pingru and Gu knew this.
Although Lu Qingrong didn't know, he looked at his mother and aunt with a somewhat restrained smile at the same time, and this person was surnamed "Qiu", so he guessed the roughly.
Hmph, it's much worse than my uncle's seventh place, Lu Qingrong pouted.
Everyone did not continue the topic, and soon regained the joy they had just had.
The entire Yin Mansion was shrouded in joy.
In the evening, Gu prepared a meal that was more sumptuous than noon, and drank two cups with Yin Pingru.
After the meal, Gu Shi took the letter he had written for Yin Qinghua and showed it to Yin Pingru first.
The letter clearly stated what happened to the He family and Yin Pingru's attitude.
Yin Pingru was afraid that suing Yin Qinghua about these would affect his preparation for the palace exam.
But Gu insisted that "the palace test is true learning, and I don't care about these two days", so he called the little guy who reported the news today and asked him to leave for the capital early tomorrow morning to send it to Yin Qinghua.
Yin Pingru also hopes to get her brother's support, although her current thoughts are very firm, she still often feels uneasy inexplicably, especially when she sees Lu Qingrong.
She can't be separated from her daughter, absolutely not!
In the past two days, Lu Qingrong has slept with Yin Pingru at night.
At night, as soon as Lu Qingrong was put on the bed, he very consciously climbed up the quilt and covered himself.
watched her daughter, who was like a little fat ball, get into the quilt and cover most of her face with the quilt at once, only her eyes were exposed, shiny, blinking. Yin Pingru couldn't help laughing.
Lu Qingrong saw that Yin Pingru's cheeks were slightly red because she had drunk some wine, and a pair of watery eyes were looking at her and smiling happily, she unconsciously pulled the quilt down, revealing a whole chubby face, and giggled at Yin Pingru.
"What are Qingrong laughing at?"
"Mother! Uncle! Uncle! Lu Qingrong jumped out word by word with excitement on his face.
"Uncle became a tribute, and our little Qingrong was also happy, wasn't it?" Yin Pingru felt that her daughter was really a sensible child.
"Hmmm! Well! Lu Qingrong nodded vigorously.
"Qingrong is really smart." Yin Pingru also went to bed as she spoke, lying next to Lu Qingrong and looking at her, "Mother wants to ask Qingrong a question, okay?" ”
Lu Qingrong saw that her tone suddenly became a little solemn, and looked back at her with an inquiring gaze.
"If your mother and your father don't live together, does Qingrong want to live with her father, or does she want to live with her mother at her uncle's house?" Yin Pingru felt that her daughter definitely didn't know what "harmony" was, so she tried to be as simple as possible.
Lu Qingrong understood it at once, and hurriedly said, "Mother...... No...... Drop ...... Clear! ”
"No, how could my mother leave her Qingrong, absolutely not!" Yin Pingru's voice was faint, but there was a slight tremor, she hugged the nervous little chubby girl in her arms, and gently patted Lu Qingrong's back, "Qingrong can sleep with confidence!" My mother will always be with you. ”
Lu Qingrong nestled in Yin Pingru's arms with peace of mind, until Yin Pingru's steady and regular breathing was heard in his ears, and Lu Qingrong still had his eyes open and did not fall asleep.
Just now, Lu Qingrong said to Yin Pingru not to leave her, it was definitely from the bottom of his heart.
In his previous life, he and his father had been dependent on each other since he was a child, and he had never felt the warmth of his mother.
Now that she has crossed unexpectedly, although she has a scumbag father, because of the company of her mother, she is still full of hope for the future.
She didn't want Yin Pingru to leave her in the He family, one was reluctant to let this mother, and the other was that if He Kai really married Qiu Muyun and entered the door, would she use her precious life to accompany the little white flower to play house fights?
Lu Qingrong firmly believed that "if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather", not to mention that He Kai is a good seedling who is a stepfather at first glance.
As soon as he thought of He Kai, Lu Qingrong had a headache......
In the past two days, in Lu Qingrong's heart, there is always a trace of indescribable and unclear feelings. Today's mother looks exactly the same as her mother who died early in the previous life, and she is still called "Qingrong", no matter how you think about it, you have a feeling of past and present life.
But now he doesn't have the surname "Lu", what's going on?
Does this indicate that there will be other events?
Lu Qingrong gradually fell asleep in his more and more outrageous thoughts......
Early the next morning, Lu Qingrong was having breakfast with Yin Pingru with Gu and Yin Zihao, when a maid came in to announce that He Kai was here.
