"Is that going to be the case?" Lu Qianyu waited expectantly for Lu Qingrong's response.

"I think so." Lu Qingrong thought for a moment, "And Jiang Gongzi is younger than the eldest sister, my mother must have gone to the senior monk to calculate it, eighty percent is not suitable." ”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianyu thought that it was very likely, and her face was even more happy.

This time, Lu Qingrong really guessed correctly, Yin Pingru and Mrs. Tai did ask the senior monk to help Lu Fangyu calculate, and then gave up Jiang Ling's choice.

"Second sister, don't you often say that he is a nerd, why do you suddenly care so much about him?" Lu Qingrong pretended to be puzzled.

"Who said I cared about him anymore? I'm the eldest sister who cares! Lu Qianyu explained in a hurry.

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Lu Qingrong to react, he ran back upstairs like a gust of wind.

Who knew that the next day, it was said that Cao Cao Cao had arrived.

The next day, it happened to be the day when Lu Yiduo was resting, and Jiang Shenzhi rushed back to the capital from Wuchang with a pair of children and came to Lufu.

Jiang Shenzhi was nominated for the gold list, and he had been doing a west seat in Lu Yiduo's mansion, and then only in the three years when the Xianning County Order was released, the two families were a little farther away, and after Jiang Shenzhi was promoted to the prefect of Wuchang, he became close neighbors again with Lu Yiduo, who was then the governor of Huguang.

Therefore, several children in the East Courtyard of Lu Mansion were also very familiar with Jiang Shenzhi, and when they heard that he was coming, they all came out to greet him.

Jiang Shenzhi has not remarried for so many years, so only Jiang Ling and Jiang Yunpei returned to Beijing with him this time.

When Lu Qingrong and the others rushed over, Lu Yiduo had already led the three of them into the Moon Gate of the East Courtyard.

Jiang Shenzhi wore a duck blue pigmented Hangzhou silk straight up, and his hair was combed neatly, but he could also see from the slight tiredness on his face that he should be in a hurry this way.

Jiang Yunpei on the side was wearing a white silk stand-up collar mid-shirt and a lotus-colored chicken heart collar embroidered bamboo leaf skirt, her expression was much more relaxed than her father's, she hadn't seen Lu Qingrong for almost two months, and when she saw her, she looked at her with a smile.

Lu Qingrong also smiled back.

Seeing Jiang Ling standing beside Jiang Yunpei again, Lu Qingrong felt that he seemed to be much taller than two months ago.

At this time, Jiang Ling was dressed in a royal blue moire brocade robe, standing with his hands behind his back, his face was neither as dusty as Jiang Shenzhi's, nor was he as happy as Jiang Yunpei's, just standing there motionless with an indifferent expression.

The way he looked, Lu Qingrong didn't feel strange at all.

And Lu Qianyu is even more accustomed to it. In fact, in her memory, the number of times Jiang Ling talked to her over the years was probably counted on two hands.

But she was so happy when she saw him that she couldn't tell why.

Thinking that I heard my father say just now that Jiang Ling and they would stay in the capital this time, I was even happier in my heart.

This time, Jiang Shenzhi rushed back in such a hurry because he received the emperor's decree that he should return to Beijing on the same day to participate in the compilation of the "Jingxi Canon", and appointed him as the compiler of the "Jingxi Canon".

Today, the emperor has been in power for more than ten years, and while he is diligent in the government, he can't help but think about what to do in order to be remembered for a hundred years, so he plans to compile a book that integrates ancient and modern cultures, and personally named the title of "Jingxi Canon", and appointed Ji Ming, the first assistant of the cabinet and a scholar of Wenhuadian University, as the chief compiler.

However, Ji Daren has important positions and many court affairs, and there is no doppelganger, so he recommended Jiang Shenzhi to the emperor as he liked, and soon a holy decree quickly recalled Jiang Shenzhi, who was appointed as the prefect of Wuchang, to the capital.

Jiang Shenzhi came back in a hurry this time, and the emperor didn't know much about the situation in his family, so he didn't give him a house.

Since the Jiang family split up many years ago, Jiang Shenzhi left the house, and he had nowhere to stay in the capital, so Lu Yiduo sincerely invited him to live in the south courtyard of the east courtyard where he used to live before he found the house.

Lu Yiduo personally led the group to the South Courtyard: "I just told Sù Clumsy Jing the news that you were coming back, and she cleaned up this place the next day, and I said at the time that she was too anxious, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, fortunately you didn't listen to me!" ”

"I also asked Lord Lu to thank Mrs. for me." Jiang Shenzhi arched his hand.

Everyone didn't stay long in the South Courtyard before they left.

Jiang Shenzhi followed Lu Yiduo to the study of the East Courtyard.

Only Jiang Ling was left in the south courtyard.

And Jiang Yunpei followed the Lu Qingrong sisters to greet Yin Pingru.

Lu Qianyu followed everyone in the direction of the main house step by step, and Lu Qingrong couldn't help but sigh secretly when she saw her like this.

When she arrived at the main house, Yin Pingru was also very happy to see Jiang Yunpei, and took her hand and asked questions.

It wasn't until after lunch that Jiang Yunpei walked out of the main house with their sisters.

Lu Fangyu and Lu Qianyu walked in front, Lu Qingrong and Jiang Yunpei followed behind, chatting slowly, and soon distanced themselves from the two in front.

Walking to the fork in the road to the south courtyard, Lu Qingrong fortunately stopped.

"Sister Jiang and I will go to the Wisteria Pavilion, when I was a child, I went to the South Courtyard to find you, you haven't been here yet, have you?"

At that time, Lu Qingrong had just married Yin Pingru, and Lu Fangyu and Lu Qianyu rarely talked to her, and she stayed with Jiang Yunpei most of the time. Even later, whether it was in Henan or Wuchang, she felt closer to Jiang Yunpei.

Jiang Yunpei naturally had no objection, and followed her to the Wisteria Pavilion.

At this time, Lu Fangyu and Lu Qianyu had already gone upstairs to take a nap, and in the days when they didn't have to go to the girls' school, their schedules were still very regular.

Lu Qingrong pulled Jiang Yunpei into his room and sat directly on the Huanghuali carved step bed in the room.

"There is a class in the school tomorrow, Sister Jiang will go with us, right?" Lu Qingrong has been a little depressed recently, Lu Qianyu and Lu Manyu just went to the school to chat, and sometimes at the end of the day, they couldn't remember which gentleman came to teach.

"Is that the female school you mentioned in your letter?" Jiang Yunpei asked with interest.

"Well, exactly." Lu Qingrong said excitedly: "That female gentleman is still very good, not only the rigid things of "Female Commandment" and "Female Training", but also has a lot of guidance on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially if she has a good hand on the piano, like flowing water, we must learn her skills!" ”

Jiang Yunpei listened very yearning, but said worriedly: "Then the academy is not something you can go to if you want to, right?" ”

"Don't worry, my mother has already mentioned this matter to my father, and my father has also greeted the school, so there will be no problem."

Jiang Yunpei was very happy when he heard this, and immediately agreed.

Lu Qingrong looked even happier than her, but suddenly thought of something again.

"Your eldest brother is still studying with Master Jiang, didn't you invite a special Xixi?"

Lu Qingrong couldn't figure out whether he wanted to know, or if he was asking for Lu Qianyu.

"No, I still study with my father." Jiang Yunpei was also a little helpless when he said it, "In fact, he researches by himself most of the time, and only goes to his father to discuss when he has a problem." ”

"Then he is still unwilling to participate in the imperial examination?" Lu Qingrong then asked.

Jiang Yunpei nodded: "He has a new saying this time, saying that he wants to be a prophet and a sage......

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he was stunned for a while, thinking that this ideal was really too far from Lu Qianyu......

At this time, the two people in the study room of the East Courtyard were also talking about Jiang Ling.

"I used to think that he was talented and intelligent, and I didn't want to restrain him too much, but now it seems to be more and more ridiculous." Jiang Shenzhi said and did not forget to sigh, "People like you and me who have been named on the gold list dare not expect to have half a relationship with the sage, he is a child, and he just took the exam to be a sage, so he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to be a sage!" ”

Lu Yiduo thought that Jiang Ling had some personality: "Don't just think about suppressing him, maybe he really has some extraordinary talents, which you and I don't have." ”

"No matter what talent he has, he must give me a reputation first." Jiang Shenzhi insisted very much, "I don't ask him to have a good ranking, as long as he is a jinshi, I will be content, and I will no longer stop him from doing anything he wants in the future." ”

Lu Yiduo couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this, "As long as it's a jinshi", only Jiang Shenzhi can say it so calmly.

"Now you are about to start organizing the compilation of the "Jingxi Canon", although Lord Ji is the chief compiler, but he is entangled in official duties all day long, I am afraid that it is just a name, and it is estimated that the matter of repairing the book depends on your hard work, I am afraid that I will not have time to guide Jiang Ling to read."

Seeing Jiang Shenzhi nodding helplessly, Lu Yiduo continued: "Brother Jie is also going to be ready to end, now follow Mr. Chu to study, what do you think about letting Jiang Ling go with him?" ”

"That's the best!" Mr. Chu's experience, Jiang Shenzhi also knows a little.

"But let's talk about it first, this Mr. Chu has some quirks, although Jiang Ling's qualifications are higher than Brother Jie'er, but you still have to cast his eyes, let him go over with Brother Jie tomorrow, let Mr. Chu take a look!"

Listening to Lu Yiduo say this, Jiang Shenzhi is very grateful.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ling reluctantly followed Lu Chengjie to Yin's mansion.

And Jiang Yunpei and Lu Qingrong went to the women's school in the Moxiang Academy of the Yanguo Mansion together.

Today is just in time for Mr. Zhen's lecture, and it happens to be a lecture on piano art.

In the sound of a group of girls dancing wildly, Jiang Yunpei could at least finish a song in its entirety, with an accurate rhythm and melodious timbre, which couldn't help but immediately attract everyone's attention.

During the lunch break, Cui Shiyun, the concubine of the Marquis of Wuding, who had always rarely spoken, took the initiative to come over to ask her for advice.

Seeing this, Song Miaoxue on the side couldn't help but do everything possible to divert everyone's attention.

"Have you heard, recently the emperor is in the noble family, choosing a companion for the second prince!"

Everyone really turned their attention to her.

"Isn't the second prince's companion the Marquis of Jingyuan?" Lu Manyu asked for everyone.

Song Miaoxue pretended to pause mysteriously before she spoke: "After the prince of Jingyuan fell into the water, the imperial doctor said that he was sick and needed to recuperate, at least three or four months, and at most half a year. ”RS
