"Ah......h

It's a pity that it still interfered with Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng was immersed in writing, his thinking was in a critical place, and the shadow's exclamation pulled his thoughts back to reality.

He frowned, put down the pen in his hand, and said in an urn, "What's the matter?" ”

Shadow's face was flushed, and her eyes glared fiercely at the outside of the courtyard, and said, "It's all a few girls chewing their tongues, and they should have cut their tongues." ”

"Oh? When did our shadow become so ruthless? Lu Zheng said, he smiled and stood up, but he didn't mean to blame again.

Ying'er's expression was even more embarrassed, she thought about what Si Qi and a few little girls had just said, she was so ashamed that she couldn't do it, she was the big girl next to Lu Zheng, according to the rules of a big family, Lu Zheng could accept her into the room.

Zhang Haoran's eldest girl of the Zhang family has long been sleeping with her, and even the girls in Zhang Tang and Zhang Zhen's room have also gone to bed! And Ying'er is still the same as before, Lu Zheng didn't let her ...... like that

It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, Ying'er has long been a person in Lu Zheng's room, and Ying'er still remembers the last time she went to Yushan, even the eldest grandmother Liu Su thought so!

"These Nizi, they speak openly, they really should be taught a good lesson!" Shadow secretly said in her heart, her mood was very complicated at this time.

She is a little proud, but also a little lost, and she is full of longing and expectations for the future......

"What's the matter, it's so noisy outside?" Lu Zheng didn't know that Ying'er had so many tangled thoughts in his heart, so he put his hands behind his back and slowly walked to the window.

"Today is the day when the second master returns to Yangzhou, and the old lady has passed down the word, let us all prepare to go to the dock to greet it! Moreover, Steward Cui sent a message to you to go to Xincheng River Wharf too, and the time is almost over! Shadow said.

Lu Zheng frowned slightly, sighed lightly, and said: "The third generation of the Zhang family, known as the four masters of Jiangnan, did not expect that it would be reduced to such a state now.

Zhang Chengxi just made up for the lack of a county, so he made such a momentum, if one day someone in the Zhang family really won the jinshi, what kind of situation would it be? ”

Lu Zheng said to himself, but he was not completely ridiculing the Zhang family, he was more lamenting the rarity of the Dakang Dynasty, with such a prominent family as the Zhang family, Zhang Chengxi's entry into the county is a great joy, which shows the wealth of officials.

Lu Zheng thought of the "Fan Jin Zhongju" he had read, and he felt ridiculous when he read the article, but now that he has personally experienced the Great Kang Dynasty of the imperial examination, he really feels that this article is too vividly written.

Lu Zheng is now preparing for the children's examination in a few months, but what he is thinking about in his mind is what will happen after the children's examination, the children's examination for Xiucai, the township examination for lifting people, and the entrance examination for Jinshi, this step-by-step ladder has a difficulty coefficient that is 100 times more difficult than the university entrance examination on the earth, and it is more difficult than the entrance examination to the top famous universities.

Lu Zheng prides himself on not being a superman, he really wants to get ahead, he really has no second way to go except for hard work!

"Ying'er, change my clothes, let Sun San prepare the carriage, and I'll go to the Xincheng River Wharf immediately!" Lu Zheng suppressed all kinds of thoughts and prepared to go out.

Lu Zheng changed his clothes and went out, and when he arrived at the Xincheng River Wharf, the wharf was already crowded, and there had been a snowfall not long ago, and the ice and snow had not completely melted.

The river on the dock is cold and cold, which can really freeze people directly, however, at this time, the dock is full of people, including the old lady of the Zhang family, who is also in the crowd, but she is sitting on a chair.

Lu Zheng stood at the back, as low-key and inconspicuous as he usually did, and everyone in the Zhang family was now paying attention to the river, and no one paid attention to him.

He watched coldly, and saw that Mrs. Su and Zhang Haoran were obviously different from before, especially Zhang Haoran, for a period of time he was decadent and low-key, once Lu Zheng met him on the street of Xinchenghe, this kid actually took a detour.

However, today, Zhang Haoran's momentum came up again, he wore a new set of white Confucian clothes, wore a purple and gold crown on his head, and wore black leather to warm his ears, holding the stove in his hand, pacing back and forth with hot air, and holding his head high, which can really be said to be vivid.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Suddenly, he put the stove in his hand into the hand of the girl beside him, and raised his hand to point to the river.

Sure enough, there was a boat on the river, and everyone's attention was focused on the big boat, even Zhang's mother stood up, raised her eyes, and said, "My wife is dizzy and can't see clearly!" ”

Cui Da squinted his eyes for a while and said, "This is not our ship, Ancestor, please sit down." ”

Cui Da said this, everyone's momentum instantly fell again, and they were shivering with cold, and the masters were okay, they still had a stove in their hands, and they were all warm. The entourage girls and servants are really choked, especially a few little guys who are dressed in neat and thin robes and stand on the dock as honor guards, they are all about to freeze into icemen, seeing that their lips are dark and blue, and their whole bodies are trembling like sifting chaff, where is the majesty and grooming of the big family?

The old lady was also cold enough, but her spirit was still sufficient, she looked around and said, "It's all for me to stand up, and the critical time is to see your patience." Young people just have to grind their hearts, and when their hearts are sharpened, they can do things.

If you are impetuous, you will be impetuous, and you may end up ...... everything."

The old lady lectured the family, she spoke, her eyes roamed on her juniors, she looked back from the front one by one, and finally, her eyes fell on Lu Zheng's body, and his words suddenly stopped.

Lu Zheng's patience is very good, but there is no rudeness.

But Zhang Jing had been waiting impatiently, he sneaked to Lu Zheng's side, and grinned: "Brother Zheng, are you looking for guilt?" On a cold day, what are you doing drinking this northwest wind on the dock? ”

Lu Zheng said with a smile: "Second brother, aren't you here too?" ”

"Whoever wants to come is a bastard, I can't help it? Hey, according to me, our ancestors are really confused, our dignified Zhang family, the second uncle is just a county official, an official who is younger than the seven-grade sesame official, is it necessary to make such a big fanfare? Zhang Jing said.

Lu Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Second brother, this is a great event, why is it not necessary?" Do you know that after winning the Jinshi, just filling the vacancy is only seven grades, the so-called high-rise building rises from the ground, the second uncle has stepped into the career this time, this can be said to be a step to the sky, and the future is limitless! ”

"! Brother Zheng, did you bully the second brother for not studying? My second uncle has no reputation, his prisoner was donated with money, he got this official, he can be the wronged leader, if you want to be promoted, it is a dream! ”

"I won't tell you the truth, I don't think the second uncle may be able to be a long official, the county commander surnamed Nie is a lame duck himself, and he doesn't recruit colleagues to see him, he recommends my second uncle, if he falls, my second uncle can still mix?"

Zhang Jing squinted his small eyes, and said that he was the first to be the truth, and the more he spoke, the louder he became, and when he said it, his eyebrows danced.

Lu Zheng squinted at him and said, "Second brother, what you said is really reasonable, but you can't tell me about this matter, or you look back, the second sister-in-law and they are all looking at you, you tell them?" ”

Zhang Jing's expression froze instantly, and only then did he realize that there was silence around him, and he immediately turned around, and his expression immediately became extremely exciting.

Everyone's eyes fell on him, Zhang's mother's mouth was still half open, looking at the old ancestor's expression, her face was green, Zhang Jing's words just now The old man must have heard them all.

Zhang Jing was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he was about to kneel, Lu Zheng took a step forward, tugged at his sleeve, and said: "Come, come, the second uncle didn't take the waterway, he went directly to the county office, and he was rushing over from the county government at this time!" ”

After Lu Zheng said that, he pointed in the direction of the cross street, and sure enough, he heard someone beating gongs and drums on the side of the cross street.

Zhang's mother couldn't help but get angry, and immediately beckoned everyone to go in the direction of the cross street, and finally, Cui Da shouted in front and said:

"It's the second master! The second master is majestic, sitting in an official sedan chair! ”

Everyone came together, and sure enough, they saw a group of people coming up on the cross street, two gongs in front, three gongs, followed by six soap officials, and then behind was a four-official sedan chair, the sedan curtain was lifted, and the person sitting in the sedan chair was not Zhang Chengxi.

Looking at Zhang Chengxi's appearance, it is very different from before, he is wearing an official crane supplement uniform and a red-topped official hat today, looking majestic and special spirit.

Especially with the honor guard in front of him, the gong sounded, and the people on the street avoided it one after another, and this kind of pomp and circumstance was particularly stylish.

Mother Zhang was so excited that her hands trembled, and she almost threw away the dragon head crutches, Cui Da shouted at Zhang Chengxi: "Second master, the old lady is here to greet you!" ”

Cui Da shouted like this, Zhang Chengxi heard it in the sedan chair, and immediately raised his hand, the sedan chair stopped, the gong also stopped, and Zhang Chengxi got off the sedan chair with the support of the two soap officials.

He took small steps all the way, walked quickly to Zhang's mother, and in front of everyone, he knelt on the ground with a "poof" and said, "Mother......"

You must know that at this time, there were a lot of onlookers around, everyone looked at the excitement here, and when everyone saw Zhang Chengxi kneeling, there was a burst of coaxing.

Zhang's mother was so frightened that she hurriedly supported Zhang Chengxi, so happy that she burst into tears, she suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said, "Go home!" ”

When she said these three words, she seemed to have exhausted her strength, Zhang Chengxi hurriedly stood up and helped her, fortunately it was not far from Zhang's house, and Zhang Chengxi helped Zhang's mother all the way to Zhang's house.

Along the way, the people have stopped, Zhang Chengxi heard a piece of praise in his ears, Zhang Chengxi entered the official office, and his mother was filial, so that it could soon be passed on to Yangzhou good stories.
