After Daiyu returned to the room, Lu Jing rubbed Daiyu's shoulders and said, "Madame has worked hard!" ”

Daiyu had a sweet smile on her face: "The concubine is not hard, thanks to the help of her husband, everyone will have such a good time!" ”

Lu Jing smiled: "It's good to be happy, it just so happens that I have a good thing and a bad thing to tell you, which one do you want to hear first?" ”

Daiyu thought for a while and smiled: "Husband, let's tell the bad news first!" ”

Lu Jing nodded and said, "The bad news is that I met Xue Baochai privately today!" ”

Daiyu's body stiffened suddenly when she heard this, and the smile on her face disappeared, she turned to look at Lu Jing, no wonder Xue Baochai disappeared for a while at the beginning, and was about to ask what happened, but suddenly she came to her senses again, and asked, "Is she looking for her husband for the selection of the emperor and businessman?" ”

"Yes, Madame is really thoughtful!" Lu Jing hurriedly reassured.

After hearing this, Daiyu felt a little relieved, and carefully asked about the conversation between the two.

Lu Jing told Daiyu the general story of the incident, but concealed the handkerchief left by Xue Baochai.

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said with a smile again: "In the future, the husband must not be so rude, you see a girl who has not been out of the cabinet in private, if it is spread out, it is a little inappropriate." ”

Lu Jing said with a smile: "What Madame said is that when I see her again in the future, I will be in front of Madame." ”

Daiyu smiled very happily when she heard this, nodded slightly, and asked, "What about the good news that the husband said?" ”

Lu Jing said with a smile: "Yesterday, I went to invite my father-in-law to come to us for the festival on August 15, and my father-in-law has agreed. ”

Daiyu asked with surprise after hearing this, "Really?" ”

Seeing Lu Jing nodded, he said happily: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful." As he spoke, he reflexively hugged Lu Jing, his heart full of sweetness.

It was night, the moon was full of love in the water, and the red waves in the tent were turning over the mandarin ducks.

The next day, Daiyu and Lu Zhiyu made mooncakes by themselves, and Lu Jing went to the street to buy a lot of gifts, and when he came back, he gave the gifts to the two and helped them make mooncakes.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in March and Five, on the night of August 15, the lanterns in the Zhuzhu Garden are colorful, and there are nearly 100 lanterns of various colors hanging in the wind and bamboo forest, among which there are made by the Lu family, and there are also Lu Jing purchased from outside.

The lanterns are plastered with riddles, and the maids and servants either guess the riddles or choose which lantern they like better.

Before the time passed, Lin Ruhai came to the Lu family, watching Daiyu busy before and after, directing the maids to prepare the items for the festival, and felt very relieved, now her daughter is more mature and stable, and she can take care of all the affairs of a family.

When everything was ready, Lu Jing began to worship the moon, and then divided the division and bread, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

After the moon sacrifice, Lin Ruhai, Lu Jing, Daiyu, and Lu Zhiyu entered the banquet.

During the banquet, Lin Ruhai talked about the Mid-Autumn Festival in Gusu two years ago, and was suddenly full of emotion.

After the banquet, Lu Jing and Lin Daiyu gathered everyone together and began to award the prizes of the previous day's fun competition.

For a while, everyone in the Lu family, regardless of whether they had their own or not, was full of joy and sincerely congratulated the award-winning personnel.

Qingwen felt a different kind of festive atmosphere for the first time, and her heart completely settled down.

After the awards, Lu Jing asked everyone to either set off Kong Ming lanterns or guess riddles for fun, and Zijuan, who was in Beijing, also said goodbye to Daiyu and returned home for the festival, and Lu Jing specially arranged for someone to escort her in a carriage.

Lin Ruhai watched everyone laughing, and his heart was infected, and he took Lu Jing, Daiyu, and Zhiyu to Tingyuxuan to admire the moon.

In this situation, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but think of the scene of teaching three people in the Mid-Autumn Festival in Gusu two years ago, so he said to the three people: "I had a question when I was in Gusu two years ago, and I will ask another question today." ”

"The twilight clouds are overflowing and cold, and the silver man silently turns the jade plate. This night is not good in this life, where will the bright moon look next year. ”

"This is the Mid-Autumn Festival of Master Su, and each of you will be rewarded with a song according to this rhyme."

Lu Jing pondered for a moment and muttered: "The good wind is unbearable and the cold is good, and the lamp is sparse and illuminates the jade plate." The moonlight in front of the stairs is clearer, and the lonely guest does not look at it. ”

Dai Yu groaned: "The falling light beads are cold in the muscles and bones, and the cold gold plate of the jade soul is condensed." Tonight is good when the circle is round, and who should be absent from the night after tomorrow. ”

Lu Zhiyu thought for a while and said: "The moon stream is clear and the bamboo shadow is cold, and the high river is turning the jade plate. The butterfly dream is clear and bright at night, and Xiaolai lives idly by the railing. ”

After Lin Ruhai listened, he nodded with satisfaction, and then commented on the poems of several people, and then set off a few Kong Ming lanterns with his own hands.

When the time came, Lin Ruhai returned from the end, Lu Jing let him clean up the remaining traces in the garden, and he and Daiyu went to the Cuizhu Bridge to enjoy the moon near the water and enjoy the time between them.

At this time, there is a round of bright moon in the sky, a round of water moon in the pool, up and down for glory, a breeze passes, the cinnamon fragrance blows on the face, and the sparkling pool surface is wrinkled and paved.

Lu Jing looked at the reflection of the two people in the water and said with a smile: "The reflection at the bottom of the hibiscus pool sinks, and the wind shakes and fluctuates. ”

Hearing this, Daiyu gently snuggled in Lu Jing's arms, and said softly: "Why do you need to borrow the power of the wind to embrace each other." ”

After speaking, he asked, "Does the husband think that the concubine's arrangements today are negligent?" ”

Lu Jing hugged Daiyu and said tenderly: "Madame's arrangement can be described as comprehensive, no one can find fault!" ”

Daiyu said with a smile: "Don't joke, husband, the concubine is asking you seriously!" ”

Lu Jing smiled: "I'm also answering seriously, Madame has done a good job, but I'm not as clever as Madame!" ”

When Daiyu heard this, she was overjoyed in her heart, and said with a smile: "Thanks to her husband's help!" ”

"It's not a foil, it's our husband and wife who work together to run our home well!" Lu Jing soothed.

Daiyu tapped her head and said, "The concubine will work together with her husband to take care of the family business." ”

Lu Jing said: "The same sound is like a drum, and the rhyme is like a piano." ”

Daiyu responded: "Respond with one voice, know each other with one heart." ”

After speaking, both of them looked up at the moon, and for a while, the shadows of the people in the lake reflected the moon, and there were two Chanjuan in the sky and on earth.

Liangjiu Daiyu leaned over to look at the moon in the lake and chuckled: "The moon floats on the water, pry open the water surface and the moon is still deep." ”

Lu Jing said peacefully: "The sun sets on the mountain, and the sun is far away from the mountain." ”

"The abbot of Chenglan is like a thousand acres, and the reflection is as close as a thousand miles." Daiyu looked up at Lu Jing and said with a smile.

Lu Jing looked at the jade man in his arms and said affectionately: "Parting for a day is like three autumns, and staying together for years is like an instant." ”

In an instant, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, freezing the picture, illuminating the time, and softening the years.

On August 16, the full moon was not lost, and the happy gathering was not over, and Jia Zheng was appointed by Emperor Yuan Yong as Jiangxi Xuezheng.

The Jia family was overjoyed when they heard the news, although it was released, but in the end they were promoted, and they were promoted to three levels in a row.

Jia Zheng was a little worried in his heart, now that his family is restless, Baoyu's behavior is becoming more and more absurd, he is leaving Beijing at this time, won't his son be more and more unrestrained, and he doesn't know how much trouble it will cause.

And the eldest grandson's studies are at a critical moment, if there is no teaching by himself, not to mention the delay, it is very likely to be affected, although he is a little reluctant in his heart, but the holy order is difficult to disobey, so he has to pack up and set off on a certain day.

After Jia Baoyu heard this, his heart was a little excited, since the Dragon Boat Festival was beaten, he was even more afraid of Jia Zheng in his heart, he was afraid that he would make a mistake for a while, and he would be arrested and beaten again, so although he was reluctant on his face, he hoped that his father would leave home as soon as possible.

After Lin Ruhai learned about this, he realized that something was wrong, so he asked Lin Zhong to find Lu Jing.

"What's so strange about this?" Lin Ruhai asked with a frown.

Lu Jing groaned: "It stands to reason that the scholars and politicians are all held by those who are born as scholars, and the political masters are not even lifters, which is really out of line!" ”

The relationship between learning and politics is very important, and the emperor directly selects and sends them to the provincial governors to study in a province, and is responsible for the imperial examination of the provincial capital.

Generally by the six departments of the Lang, Langzhong, Jingtang, Hanlin, Kedao and their subordinates, the official rank is mostly from the four grades, although it is only a temporary errand, but with the provincial political envoys, according to the inspection and other official positions in parallel, and not subject to the local governor and control, directly obey the emperor's orders, belong to the Qincha.

And in the scientific examination that Xuezheng was responsible for, all the people who were in the examination and showed off their talents should be honored as a teacher, which is a justifiable way to gather talents and expand the beauty of local forces.

However, Jia Zheng is only a member of the Ministry of Labor, he is not a turbidity, and he is not from the imperial examination, and he has no prestige in Shilin, no matter from which point of view, he is not qualified enough to hold this position.

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "I'm afraid that the emperor deliberately wants to transfer the second brother-in-law out of the capital, but the second brother-in-law is idle, what is the meaning of the emperor's move?" ”

"I heard that the prince Tengwang who is in the northwest has been on the book one after another during this time, and asked the saint to return to the capital, and the disciple guesses that it should have something to do with it!" Lu Jing said in a deep voice, I am afraid that Wang Ziteng noticed that the situation in Beijing was a little unfavorable to Xungui, and wanted to go back to Beijing to check the specific situation, so the emperor appeased Wang Ziteng with this matter.

Lin Ruhai suddenly said brightly: "I'm afraid it's really as you guessed, originally I thought it was Xungui's side that there was some action, but now it seems that Wang Ziteng is not very peaceful." ”

"What my father-in-law said is very true, and the emperor suddenly announced this matter after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I think it was also a temporary idea." Lu Jing agreed.

Jia Zheng is Jia Yuanchun's biological father, and promoting him can not only reflect his favor for the concubine, but also stabilize the power of the Jia family.

But the emperor definitely didn't want the Jia family to get any substantial benefits, so he ascended and secretly descended, arranged a temporary errand for Jia Zheng, and transferred him away from the center.

Jiangxi is far away from Beijing, and it is not a major province for imperial examinations, but it is in line with the emperor's thoughts.

After analyzing the inside story of this matter, Lin Ruhai sighed a few words, ended the topic, and asked about the selection of imperial merchants.

Lu Jing said solemnly: "In the third round of selection, in addition to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Household Affairs will also participate in the warm-up for the next treasury bond issuance." ”

Lin Ruhai heard the words and persuaded: "You have shown your edge in the early stage, it is better to keep a low profile in the future, and you must not show your edge, there has been a lot of talk about you in the DPRK and China recently, you should also be careful." ”

Lu Jing nodded and said: "The son-in-law should be vigilant, the third round is mainly led by the household department and the internal affairs government, and basically has little to do with me." ”

Lin Ruhai felt a little relieved when he heard this, knowing that his son-in-law saw it more thoroughly than himself, so he no longer persuaded him, and said some digressions, so he let Lu Jing go home.
