Chapter 177: The Xiao family is here
Xiao Yao took the hot tea, the warm water flowed from his throat into his stomach, and the warmth came out of his limbs, before he felt alive.
Lu Fei was a little curious, he couldn't hold it back, and asked, "Young Master, what kind of nightmare do you have that you come from time to time?" ”
Under the dim light, Xiao Yao couldn't see clearly what Lu Fei, who was already dark, looked like. But his white teeth stood out in the darkness.
It's not the Lu Fei in the dream, who was torn apart by the wolf, but Lu Fei who is still alive.
Xiao Yao pulled out a smile and scolded with a smile: "Don't you want to change your clothes?" ”
"For what? The young master always changes clothes in the middle of the night, which is easy for people to misunderstand. When the time comes, it will be known to others, and several of us will lose our reputation. ”
Lu Fei chattered, but quickly took the clothes and pants on his body.
Xiao Yao couldn't help but knock over with a chestnut, gave him a leg by the way, and said with a smile: "Don't prepare hot water yet." ”
"The young master wants to take a bath and prepare hot water!"
Lu Fei pinched his throat and beckoned outside, so that the guards who were keeping vigil all had goosebumps in disgust.
After Xiao Yao finished bathing and changing clothes, he stood in the courtyard with his long hair scattered, and approached the road: "Young master, do you want to prepare some wine and food?" ”
"Okay, let's have two side dishes, call up the road near and the road together, and everyone drink two cups."
Because they walk outside all the year round, Xiao Yao and a few entourages are not so divided into master and servant, with clear hierarchies, but are like brothers.
Lu Fei responded with a smile and pulled Lu Chang up.
After drinking three cups silently, Xiao Yao suddenly said, "We don't seem to have been home for two years, right?" ”
"Well, yes, it's been two years. Didn't the young master say that he would return to Liaodong this year? The old lady must be so happy when she sees the young master go back, maybe she will have to set a family affair for the young master. ”
The road is not a big mouth, and the road is closer to the more considerate.
"The young master is now back in fine clothes, the emperor has made an earl, and he will soon have the title of the gold list. After seeing the young master go back, the villain said that he didn't say that the young master robbed him of his title. ”
Lu Chang looked serious: "Shut up, the young master should be the son of the world, who would dare to snatch his title?" ”
Xiao Yao watched the three of them arguing, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't want the title of Marquis of Weiyuan." The eldest brother has always defended the family and the country, and the Marquis of Weiyuan also deserves it. ”
"How's that going to work? Master! ”
Lu Chang is the grandson of the lord of Fuling County, a few years older than Xiao Yao, and grew up with Xiao Yao since he was a child, so he naturally knows the twists and turns in the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion best.
Xiao Yao raised his hand and stopped him from talking.
"Lu Chang, I know what you mean, but I really don't care. After August 15, if I can rank in the top three, I will follow the six princes in the future. ”
Xiao Yao looked down at the crescent moon in the wine cup, and said slowly: "When the overall situation is decided, I will take my grandmother and mother back to the capital." In this way, lest we look at each other and hate each other. ”
Although Lu Chang was unwilling, he also knew that the young master had always been bright, and his words would not change.
"No matter where the young master is, we will be there."
Xiao Yao suddenly raised his head, drank a glass of wine, and then said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, someone from the Hou Mansion may come." I went to Zhong's house to have something to do, and you often receive him at home. ”
Lu Fei suddenly asked, "Young Master, didn't the letter in the house say that someone was coming?" ”
Xiao Yao was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "I have an agreement with my grandmother, it should be these few days." In case I win the top prize, there is always a need for someone in the house to receive me. ”
Lu Fei and Lu Jin were not suspicious, but Lu Chang felt a little strange, but he didn't say much.
Day 2, in the afternoon.
Xiao An, who came from Liaodong, came to the old mansion of the lord of Fuling County.
"Third uncle, why are you here?"
Lu Chang was overjoyed, and it was his father's third brother who was now in charge of the private property of the lord of Fuling.
Xiao An is tall and dark, a man in his thirties, who travels south and north, and is very capable.
"The old lady counted the days, and the autumn season had not yet begun, so let me rush to the capital. For fear that the young master would be the top student in high school, and no one would take care of the reception. ”
Xiao An grinned, Lu Chang hurriedly welcomed him in, and said with a smile: "That's it, the day after tomorrow will be the palace test, if you don't come, I'm still worried that no one will open up." ”
The uncle and nephew hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they kept talking until Xiao Yao came back.
Xiao Yao strode in from the outside, saw Xiao An at a glance, and said with a smile: "Uncle An, you are really good to come, is grandmother okay?" ”
"The old lady is all right, she had a minor illness in March, and she recovered quickly, just because she wants the young master to be tight."
Xiao Yao smiled very naturally: "I also miss my grandmother and her old man, and when the results of the palace examination come out, I will ask the emperor for a decree and go back to Liaodong to visit my grandmother." ”
Xiao An was overjoyed and said with a smile: "When the young master goes back, the old lady and the lady don't know how happy they are." ”
"Really? I rejoice too. Lu Chang, haven't you told Uncle An yet, I have a meritorious role in saving the driver, and the emperor has already made him an earl? ”
Lu Chang patted his head and said with a smile: "Just now, I was only talking to the third uncle about Tongzhou, and I haven't talked about the Halloween yet." Third uncle, the emperor has already conferred the title of young master and earl, and the specific title may be announced after the palace examination. ”
Xiao An was stunned at first, and then said happily: "The young master is really edified, so blessed!" The subordinates should write to the old lady immediately. ”
Xiao Yao said kindly: "Okay, I also have a letter to send back, and Uncle An has written it together." ”
After greetings, Xiao An was tired from a long journey, so he went back to his room to rest. Xiao Yao sat in the study, as if he was thinking about something, and did not move for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.
Early in the morning, the foreign women entered the palace together and went to Kunning Palace to meet the queen. was told that this year's women's palace banquet was held in Cining Palace.
Cining Palace is rarely so lively, the Queen Mother sits on the phoenix seat, and Queen Jiang sits aside.
The four concubines and several high-grade old ladies were lined up on the left and right, and the other ladies and concubines sat in the whole hall full. There are not many young ladies with grades who are qualified to enter the palace, and they are all greeted by Gu Fanghua.
Yan Qingqin looked at the void, came to Gu Fanghua, and said curiously: "County Lord, why didn't Miss Zhong enter the palace today?" ”
Gu Fanghua didn't hide it, and said generously: "Today, the eldest aunt and cousin have entered the palace, Jiaojiao is not worried about my sister-in-law, so she went to the Gu family to tease her little nephew." ”
Yan Qingqin was a little envious and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gu is so blessed that she became a man in one fell swoop." ”
Gu Fanghua tasted the taste, and whispered in her ear: "Are you going to get married?" Which one is it for? I'll hear it. ”
Yan Qingqin blushed and fled.
Gu Fanghua called Zimei and asked her to pay attention to inquiring, and soon there was a result, which surprised Gu Fanghua.
Empress Jiang intended to marry Yan Qingqin for her nephew Jiang Yong.
It is said that the king of Runan County is very satisfied, but the princess of Runan County, who has always been docile, swears to oppose it, and the family matter is still being discussed.
Gu Fanghua is a little sorry for Yan Qingqin, if the daughter of the clan marries a concubine, it is really enough for people to talk about. However, looking at Yan Qingqin's appearance, she seems to be very satisfied.
"Green chrysanthemum, is there any news from the previous dynasty? Who is the champion? ”
