Although Yin Pingru and Lu Yiduo have different ideas, their opinions are also very consistent.

The two immediately discussed the argument of refusal.

If Lu Yiduo had a verbal marriage contract with someone before, it may be the most thorough method, but it is not very acceptable for them to set up a family affair for their daughter in such a hurry.

In the end, it was decided to put it off for the time being on the grounds that Lu Qingrong was too young and orderly.

Yin Pingru also secretly planned in her heart that if the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion refused to back down, even if she took out the difficult things for her stepmother to do, she would not be able to compromise in the slightest.

When it was time to have dinner with the children, the two had already finished discussing.

Lu Qingrong paid attention to her parents' expressions while eating, and saw that she was the same as usual, neither showing excitement nor frustration, for some reason, her heart was much more stable......

What people didn't expect was that when Yin Pingru was firmly waiting for the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion to come to the door again, several days had passed, and there was no news.

This did not make her feel relaxed, but as if something was hanging over her head, neither falling off nor dodging.

After nearly half a month of silence, Yin Pingru finally couldn't hold it back, and discussed with Lu Yiduo to inquire about the news.

Of course, Yin Pingru can't go by himself, these eight characters have not been skimmed yet, and it is something that cannot be avoided, whether it is to go to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion or the Chengping Marquis Mansion, it is not suitable.

In the end, it was Lu Yiduo who went to the Hou Mansion in the name of visiting the Marquis of Jingyuan.

In the past, as long as Lu Yiduo was in the capital, he would go to the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion to meet him. Although most of the people who have been there in recent years have not seen Marquis Jingyuan, with the gradual change of Lu Yiduo's identity, he who could only wait in the concierge can at least be invited to the outer courtyard to be entertained by the housekeeper.

As soon as Lu Yiduo came back from the Hou Mansion, Yin Pingru waited for him to change his clothes and come out, so he couldn't wait to meet him and ask.

"What's the news? Is there another candidate in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion? ”

There was a faint expectation in Yin Pingru's tone.

"Not really." Lu Yiduo's face was a little heavy, "It's the body of the prince...... The condition suddenly worsened. ”

"This ......" Yin Pingru didn't know what to say, she didn't expect it to be this reason anyway. Recalling that on the day of the Duanyang Festival, Mrs. Wu lightly brought the matter of the son falling into the water, and everyone didn't take it to heart, "It won't be because of the falling into the water, right?" ”

"I guess, at least that's what the Imperial Doctor said. Listening to the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, the imperial doctor will go to the mansion to check the pulse of the prince basically every day these days, but it has not improved. ”

"Didn't you say you'd be healed sooner or later? It's not like because of this, you don't even say it, right? Although Yin Pingru is against this family business, she still feels that it doesn't seem to be in line with common sense.

"This time it's really strict, Mrs. Wu has been guarding the Yuyuan for a few days, and I don't think I can take care of other things."

Yin Pingru couldn't help but worry about Jiang Xuan's body when she heard this, but she didn't forget the slander against the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion in her heart.

Since you are a matchmaker, no matter whether things are successful or not, you must always have an explanation for both sides.

Like now, there was no news all of a sudden, after all, the words had not been made clear, which made her always feel a little uneasy.

You can't let her take the initiative to come to the door to refuse people......

But after thinking about it, since there was nothing I could do, I had to wait and see what happened.

And Lu Qingrong has been behind for so much a month, and he has already left this matter behind.

Because she knew that this thing was going to be yellow.

When Lu Fangyu was married a few days ago, not long after the Di family invited a matchmaker to come over, the two families had already finalized, and Yin Pingru also went to the Wisteria Pavilion to talk to Lu Fangyu about the matter in person.

And according to Lu Qianyu's statement, Yin Pingru had already mentioned Di Gongzi to Lu Fangyu when he was in Wuchang.

Now that his family affairs are really done, Yin Pingru will not be as silent as she is now, and she will never mention it.

So it must have not worked out.

As for why it didn't work out, Lu Qingrong didn't care at all.

Although I know in my heart that I can't expect to fall in love as freely as I did in modern times, if I really let her marry someone she doesn't know, she still can't pass this hurdle in her heart.

Therefore, at this time, Lu Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

In June, Lu Qingrong couldn't think about it anymore, because there was a big event in the East Courtyard of Lu Mansion, and Lu Chengjie was going to go to the hospital with Yin Zihao to take the test to show talent.

Lu Yiduo made him study steadily and steadily, so that the diligent and studious Lu Chengjie is still just a child, and the Lu Mansion from Mrs. Tai to Lu Qingrong and the sisters are all a little anxious.

Now that Lu Yiduo finally agreed to let him go to the hospital examination, everyone was naturally very happy for Lu Chengjie, and felt that his talent was simply nine out of ten.

Just three days before the start of the hospital examination, Mrs. Tai also deliberately held a family banquet in the main courtyard, saying that she wanted to practice it for Lu Chengjie.

In fact, it was to take the college exam in Shuntianfu, and it was a bit exaggerated to say that it was practiced, Lu Yiduo originally didn't want him to just go to the exam to show off so much, but it was not easy to refute his mother's meaning.

During the banquet, Mrs. Tai and Lu Yizhong and his wife both gave items such as pen and ink inkstones to Lu Chengjie, and Mrs. Tai also specially picked a Huang Fei jade pendant and let Lu Chengjie wear it on his body for good luck.

Lu Chengxi, who was sitting on the side, had never been very interested in reading, but he was also attracted by the four treasures of today's delicate-looking study, and couldn't help but say to Geng: "Mother, I also want to participate in the imperial examination like my eldest brother!" ”

Lu Chengxi is not even a child so far.

When Lu Yizhong heard this, he couldn't help but think that his son had finally opened his mind, and he was a little relieved.

But Geng disagreed.

She has always felt in her heart that Lu Yiduo now has two sons, so she naturally hopes that Lu Chengjie can compete more and earn a reputation for himself.

But their room is different, and so far Lu Yizhong only has one son, Brother Xi.

Rather than letting Brother Xi, who is not good at reading, go to the imperial examination and strive for the Jinshi quota that only has about 200 every three years, it is better to expect Lu Yizhong to be promoted quickly and let his son take the road of Enyin in the future.

But at this moment, in front of so many people, Geng still said encouragingly: "Then you have to study hard first, and pass the county and government exams first, before you can take the Xiucai exam like your eldest brother!" ”

Lu Chengxi was just hot-headed just now, but now that he heard this, he also realized the gap between himself and Lu Chengjie, but he no longer insisted.

After all, it was just practice, and this family banquet did not last long, and everyone dispersed.

Back in the East Courtyard, Yin Pingru also sent Lu Chengjie a set of four treasures of the study room custom-made in the capital to wash Xuanzhai, she thought that this thing was not too much, and she kept it for later use slowly, at this time it was just to borrow this meaning.

And she also made a set for Yin Zihao in Xixuanzhai.

Early the next morning, just in time for the days when the girls' school was not in class, after Lu Yiduo went to the yamen, Yin Pingru took a few children and came to Yin's mansion in Muxi Hutong.

Mr. Chu's class was not adjusted because Lu Chengjie and Yin Zihao were going to take the college exam, and they still attended classes as usual.

Yin Pingru and the others first went to Gu's place for a whole morning, waiting for Yin Zihao and them to come back to talk during their lunch break.

Lu Fangyu did not come with them today, but stayed at home to concentrate on embroidering the dowry.

And Lu Qianyu didn't wait for the end of class, so she pulled Lu Qingrong and waited at the door of the class.

As soon as the morning class ended, Mr. Chu, who was dressed in a gray robe, walked out of the west wing, and Lu Qianyu floated in like a gust of wind.

"Cousin, cousin!" As soon as she entered, she shouted Yin Zihao, "Mother came with us to send you a gift, saying that I wish you a good score in the exam!" ”

Yin Zihao touched his head, a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid that it will be bad to disappoint my aunt at that time." ”

Hearing that his tone was so unconfident, Lu Qianyu continued: "How could it be! My cousin is a child like my eldest brother, and you are a few years younger than my eldest brother! ”

What he said was true, but Yin Zihao knew in his heart that this was just what he saw on the surface.

Lu Chengjie is only a child now, and that's because his father never let him go to the hospital exam.

And as a child, he took several government exams before he passed the exam......

Yin Zihao didn't know how to answer, and Lu Qianyu had already turned his head to look at Jiang Ling.

"Why didn't Brother Jiang go to the exam with them this time?" The voice suddenly became much softer.

Lu Qingrong's hairs stood up a little when she heard this, especially the sentence "Brother Jiang", didn't she always call him Gongzi Jiang before?

And what made Lu Qingrong embarrassed the most was that Jiang Ling was already a showman, and it didn't matter if others didn't know, Lu Qianyu didn't know either.

Hearing Lu Qianyu ask like this, Jiang Ling still maintained his usual silence and did not make a sound.

Yin Zihao on the side reminded: "Brother Jiang has already tried it in Guò Academy!" If we can also pass guò this time, we can participate in next year's township test with Brother Jiang. ”

Lu Qianyu couldn't hide her surprise when she heard this, she really hadn't heard of it before, she was surprised and a little embarrassed at the moment, her face was slightly red, she lowered her head, and muttered in a low voice: "I really haven't heard of ...... before."

In fact, Lu Qianyu can't be blamed for this, it is the Jiang family father and son who are too low-key about this matter.

With Jiang Shenzhi's champion background, he naturally doesn't take a mere talent and fame in his eyes.

And Jiang Ling can't be judged by ordinary people, even if he is given a champion now, will he be happy to talk about it......

Lu Qingrong always had a question in her heart, and seeing that no one spoke at this time, she opened her mouth and asked, "Will you go to participate in next year's township examination?" ”

This is obviously asking Jiang Ling.

Others were confused when they heard it, the township test is only once every three years, since it is already a show, how can it not be participated?

But Jiang Ling's answer really stunned everyone.

I saw him bow his head and think for a moment before he said, "It depends on the situation." ”RS
