"Oh, Lord Xiao is coming, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome" As soon as the two men ran out of the Piaoxiang Pavilion, a middle-aged man walked in from the back door and said very respectfully to Xiao.

"The shop just now said to the little one, Liu happened to have something out for a while, but he didn't want this kind of thing to happen, I really can't help the guest officers, and the store will send a few more signature dishes to the guest officials as compensation, I'm really sorry for you" The shopkeeper Liu said to all the guests in the hall again.

"Lord Xiao, I'm really sorry, I disturbed your interest, today's meal is on Liu, and the little one will go and cook a few more dishes for Lord Xiao."

"No need" Xiao also finished speaking, took out the silver and put it on the table, then pulled Lu Jian's sleeve and walked out of the Piaoxiang Pavilion.

The plain-clothed man Jiang Li also followed, and when he arrived at the door, Xiao also let go of Lu Jian, Jiang Li bowed to the two, "Thank you, girl, thank you for helping Xiaomin break the siege."

Lu Jian hurriedly supported him, "There is no need to do this"

Xiao also looked at Lu Jian holding Jiang Li with his hand, frowned slightly, and pursed his thin lips, "This is what I should do in Dali Temple, you don't need to thank you" After speaking, Xiao also pulled Lu Jian's sleeve and prepared to leave.

As soon as he walked a few steps, Jiang Li's voice came from behind him, "That, girl" Lu Jian paused when he heard the sound and turned to look over.

"I don't know..... What is the girl's name? Jiang Li's expression was a little nervous.

"Lu Jian"

Lu Jian didn't think about it, blurted out directly, and after speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction where they stopped their horses before eating.

“...... Lu Jian..."Jiang Li stood in place, looking at Lu Jian's distant back, and muttered.

Xiao also sent Lu Jian to the door of the Lu Mansion

"The reward I promised before will be delivered to your house early tomorrow morning," Xiao also said.

"Hmm," Lu Jian said with a smile, "I'm thinking about entering Dali Temple." ”

"Good"

After saying that, Xiao also rode away, Lu Jian entered the Lu Mansion, this time it was just past the time to eat at home, she had eaten outside, and there was no need to let the kitchen cook for her.

Lu Jian walked into the gate, and walked in the direction of her yard, and just a few steps away, a family member of the family stopped her, "Miss, you are back, the master asked you to go to the study to find him"

"Uh-huh"

After a while, Lu Jian came to Lu Heng's study, pushed the door in, and saw the old man sitting at the desk and working.

"Father"

"Where did you run today?" Lu Heng saw Lu Jian walking in, so he spoke.

"A friend asked me for something and invited me to eat in Piaoxiang Pavilion in the afternoon, so I came back late," Lu Jian said with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, I've been so busy all day long that I can't even see your shadow," Father Lu said pretending to be angry.

"Dad, staying at home all day will suffocate" Lu Jian walked around behind Lu Heng and began to massage his shoulders.

"Hmph, find some excuses" Although Lu Heng said this, there was no anger on his face, "You must pay attention to safety outside, especially girls?"

"Don't worry, Dad, my daughter got acquainted with the second lady of General Mu's mansion a while ago, and the second lady is very good at kung fu and taught her daughter a lot of self-defense moves" Lu Jian smiled very sincerely, she really liked the Lu family, although this father sometimes said two words to her, but it was also because he really cared about her, and he was also very good to her.

There is also Shu He, although the two are not related by blood, but their personalities are very compatible, and they grew up together since childhood, which is much better than the children of many big families or the children of official families who are harmonious on the surface, and fight openly and secretly behind their backs.

"That's good" Lu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "In more than ten days, it will be time to take the entrance examination in mid-July, you Shu and your sister want to enter the palace to go to the Ruyi Pavilion on an errand, what are Jian'er's plans?" ”

"Shu and Sister want to enter the palace as painters?" After listening to Daddy Lu, Lu Jian asked.

Ruyi Hall is a royal painting academy in the palace, helping people in the palace to paint portraits or draw various pictures and Tibetan paintings for the royal family.

Shu and since childhood very much like things related to paintings, but also a good hand of painting, usually when there is nothing to do, often ask Lu Jian to be a model, the painting is very delicate and real people in general, although several times Lu Jian sat there and fell asleep, but it did not affect the results of the painting at all, if you can join the Ruyi Pavilion is also an affirmation of the painter.

Lu Jian has been busy in the past few days, and rarely has time to gossip with Shuhe or go out for a stroll, so Shuhe hasn't had time to tell her yet.

"Hmm" Father Lu touched his beard, "I have a few friends in the Ruyi Pavilion, and when Shu'er goes, I don't have to worry too much about them taking care of me."

This entrance examination will be held in mid-July every year, and after taking the exam, if you have good results, you can go to the position you want to go to, but most of them are small grade positions, and if you do a good job, you can be slowly promoted.

The scientific examination is held every three years, and if you are on the list, you will be directly assigned to medium-grade or high-grade positions according to your results, and then slowly promoted according to your merits.

Lu Jian thought for a moment, her red lips rose and she said, "I will also take the entrance examination, but I haven't thought about which position to be an errand in the past."

Lu Heng glanced at Lu Jian, "Wait until you pass the exam first and then think about it, if you want to be as well-behaved as you Shuyou, I will be relieved"

"Dad, I think you should have some confidence in me"

Lu Heng rolled his eyes, there was no doubt that he was his father.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and it was a little dark outside, so Lu Jian left and went back to his yard.
