As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.

The old lady's face trembled, and she nodded stiffly: "Yes, what, where did Yun Qing know about it?" ”

Lu Yunqing didn't seem to notice the old lady's strange reaction, and explained with a smile: "The granddaughter just heard the occasional mention of it, and she wrote it down when she heard the novelty, I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

When the elders of the clans heard the conversation between the two, their expressions were different, and they whispered.

"Hanmei Academy recruits female students?!"

"Ridiculous! The rules handed down by the ancestors have always been that men go to school, read poetry and books, and women teach their husbands and children. ”

"I have also heard about this matter, it was announced by the master of Hanmei Academy, and it should be eight or nine and ten."

"What the hell does the imperial court want to do?"

"I think it's okay, it just so happens that there are only two men in the third generation of my Lu family, Yuanhe can't read well, so he can only go into business, only Yuanqing can still shine on the lintel, it's too little!"

"What the clan brother said is reasonable......

Hearing the discussion of everyone under the table, the Lin family, who was sitting next to the old lady, suddenly turned gloomy.

Which one of the people with a broken mouth actually ignored the old lady's order and told the news to this wild girl, and she was angry!

The old lady maintained a smile on her face, but her heart was even more uncomfortable than Lin's.

The matter was beyond his control, if Lu Yunqing looked for him in private, he would still be able to fool the past, but now that all the elders of the Lu family were present, someone must have known about the affairs of Hanmei Academy.

How could he lie in front of all the clan elders?

It simply won't work!

Lu Jinzhi, who was sitting on the side, looked a little sluggish.

There are only two months left before the selection of Hanmei Academy, and she is not surprised that the news is public, but what she is surprised is that Lu Yunqing didn't know about it a long time ago, why did she ask her grandfather in one more move? Could it be that grandfather would prevent them from going to Hanmei Academy?

Lu Yinfeng, who was sitting next to her, was at a loss, since the Yang family left the Lu Mansion, her status in the Lu Mansion was not as good as before, and naturally no one would secretly tell her about the Hanmei Academy.

"Grandfather."

Lu Yunqing's face was well-behaved, and his eyes were full of sincerity and sincerity, "The child wants to try it, and glorify the ancestors for the Lu family!" ”

The old lady opened his mouth, and before he could think about how to refuse, he heard the eldest clan elder in the family sitting next to him suddenly speak:

"Yongfeng, I think I can let the daughters of the Lu family try, if I can enter the Hanmei Academy, my Lu family's reputation can be saved a lot."

"Second Uncle...... It's not in order, right? ”

When the old lady saw him speak, her face was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, the second uncle was the elder of the Lu family, and even if he said so, the matter was irreparable.

"What's out of the way?"

The patriarch's face turned pale, "My Lu family's reputation has plummeted because of the Yang family, and the business of the pharmacy is as bad as a day. ”

The big hat was buttoned down, and the old lady could only nod and said, "What the second uncle said is very true, I will arrange for Steward Lin to go to Luzhou City to find out the news." ”

Hearing this, the clan elder nodded with satisfaction, and Lu Yunqing also sat back in his seat.

The banquet continued, but the old lady couldn't eat anymore, and his mind was full of scenes where Lu Yunqing rushed into Lu's house with officers and soldiers after learning the truth.

Lu Dong'er, who was eating silently at the second table, saw the expression on his face, his eyes flashed, and he didn't speak.

After the banquet, everyone went back to the courtyard, and the old housekeeper couldn't help but admire it in his heart after receiving the news.

The three girls' trick was really decisive and ingenious, forcing the master to have no way out except to let them participate in the school selection.

Although after such persecution, the lord will be more jealous of the three girls, but he still does not tear his face on the surface.

"By the way, the embroidery painting of the third girl has been lost in the room, and I always forget to take it to the Qing embroidery workshop."

The old housekeeper suddenly remembered something, turned around and went back to the room to get the baggage, and then hurried out of the Lu Mansion.

At the same time, the old lady returned to the courtyard, his face was so gloomy that he could drip, and he was about to vent his anger at his subordinates, but he heard the old servant speak.

"Master, the fifth girl is here, saying that she can help you get rid of your troubles."

Five girls?

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that before the Yang family escaped, he had taken in a goddaughter named Lu Dong'er.

Although he felt uncomfortable when he saw Lu Dong'er, he heard that the old lady liked this girl very much, so he turned a blind eye.

"What is that girl doing here?"

The old lady hesitated, but still let Lu Dong'er in.

After a while, Lu Dong'er respectfully walked into the house and saluted, "Dong'er greets my grandfather, but my grandfather is worried about how to prevent the third sister from entering the Hanmei Academy?" ”

While saying this, Lu Dong'er's heartbeat accelerated irrepressibly, staring at the old lady's reaction.

She's gambling!

It's right to bet on her vision, if she guesses the old lady's mind wrong, even if she has the love of the old lady, she will be kicked out of the Lu family for the crime of "provoking the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren".

After all, she is just a godgranddaughter who is not related by blood, if she is really driven away, the old lady will feel pity, but she will definitely not feel distressed, let alone stop the old lady.

"Huh?"

Hearing Lu Dong'er's words, the old lady's face instantly turned cold.

Lu Dong'er let out a "chuckle" in her heart, her expression was a little flustered, but she could barely maintain her composure, and continued: "Your granddaughter can help you!" How high is the threshold for Hanmei Academy? Even if the third sister participates in the selection, whether she can be selected or not is still a matter of two opinions. ”

The old lady was first shocked when she heard this, and then her face was happy.

Yes!

His heart was in turmoil, he didn't even expect such a simple truth. As long as they do tricks and feet from it, even if the three girls are proficient in the six arts, as long as they can't get it in front of the examiner, it will be useless!

Thinking of this, the old lady's expression when she looked at Lu Dong'er instantly softened, and asked, "Fifth girl, tell me, how can you help your grandfather fulfill his wish?" ”

Lu Dong'er's body trembled slightly when she heard this, and her heart was settled.

She, the bet won!

"Grandfather, your identity is not suitable to go in and out of the Splendid Courtyard often, but the granddaughter is different, the granddaughter can go to the Splendid Courtyard to explore the truth, there is an ancient saying called knowing oneself and knowing the other, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. As long as you know what the talent of the third sister is, your grandfather will know where to go, right? ”

As soon as Lu Dong'er said this, the old lady's gaze at her suddenly changed.

Although the Yang family has a bad character, he wants to kill him quickly, but the goddaughter she received is even better than the two biological ones, and this insight and means alone are not comparable to Jinzhi Yinfeng.

The old lady pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "This matter should be done naturally, and don't be seen by your third sister, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”

"Yes, Grandfather."

Lu Dong'er obediently responded, hesitated for a moment, and said timidly: "The child also wants to participate in the selection of Hanmei Academy, and I also ask my grandfather to agree!" ”

“…… You? ”

The old lady glanced at Lu Dong'er strangely, and asked out loud: "If I remember correctly, you were a cheap person before you were adopted by my Lu family, right?" ”

Lu Dong'er's face changed slightly, and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Although Dong'er is from a lowly background, she has now got rid of her slave status, and going to Hanmei Academy will never embarrass Lu Fu!" If you succeed in your studies, you will definitely bring good opportunities to Lu's Pharmacy. ”

The old lady looked at Lu Dong'er's eager appearance, and a smile appeared on her face.

This girl came to offer advice, it turned out to be the idea of Hanmei Academy, but it was precisely because of this that he could feel at ease.

If this Lu Dong'er didn't have any purpose, he just came over to offer advice, but he would have doubted the identity of this girl.

"It's good that you're self-motivated."

The old lady smiled, stroked his beard, and said slowly, "How about I find you a chance?" But I won't give you any help except for letting you go, and whether or not you can get into the house depends on your own ability. ”

The old lady's voice fell into Lu Dong'er's ears, like a heavenly sound, which stimulated her eyes to turn red, and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you grandfather for making it perfect!" Thank you grandfather! ”

Daddy, the child has finally waited for a chance to turn over! If you watch from the sky, your daughter will definitely fly on the branches and become a phoenix!

……

Today, in the streets and alleys of Luzhou City, there is talk about the establishment of a women's school in Hanmei Academy, and even the mansion where the black knife guards are stationed have heard of it.

"Oh? The women's school has opened to Luzhou City, and the speed of the second sister is really fast. ”

The white-robed young man closed the booklet and glanced up at Ah Yi, who was waiting for the guard at the door, "Today is the third day, right?" You go to the Qing embroidery workshop to get the jade pendant back, and it's time for us to leave for Beijing. ”

Ah Yi bowed slightly, "Childe, then I'll go." ”

The white-robed young man waved his hand, and Ah Yi turned around to Li Mansion, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

The situation in the capital is extremely tense, and the prince should have gone back a long time ago, but he stayed in this Luzhou City for three more days, just to wait for his jade pendant?

Ah Yi shook his head suspiciously, he always felt that since the last time Childe disappeared and came back overnight, it had become different.

At this moment, Qing embroidery workshop.

The old housekeeper moved the door of the shop, hurriedly opened the secret room, and when he saw the medicine table, he couldn't help but think of the scene he had seen a few days ago.

Bloodstains, poisons, and herbs that had been cleaned up by the scourge of the night. What happened to the girl that night?

Sighing, the old butler put the wrapped jade pendant on the medicine table in the secret room, turned around and walked out of the door of the secret room, but met Ah Yi head-on.

When Ah Yi saw the old housekeeper, he bowed his head stiffly, and said coldly, "I'll take the jade pendant." ”

"Your Excellency has come just in time."

The old housekeeper didn't care about Ah Yi's attitude, smiled and took out the cloth bag from the secret room and handed it to Ah Yi.

"What's that? Calligraphy? ”

"Your Excellency is mistaken."

The old housekeeper shook his head and smiled: "This is the embroidery embroidered by my young lady herself, and I haven't opened it yet." ”

"Oh?"

Ah Yi remembered that his son-in-law seemed to be very curious about this young lady, and immediately said, "How much?" I bought it. ”
