Chapter 7 Return to Zhao
Lu Ru's face was slightly dark, but Lu Xuan's words had already blocked him into a dead end.
He threw his sleeves and was about to leave, but Lu Xuan grabbed him: "The son of the eighth rank of Changwangfu, you want to repay the debt?" โ
Lu Ru: "Youโโ! โ
Lu Xuan smiled: "What, do you want to repay the debt?" Gongsheng has been studying for many years, no matter which gentleman he is, he teaches to read not only for his career, but also for being a man, the eldest son of the Changfang, I don't know? โ
She said, "If it's such a strange thing, I'm going to publicize it to all the candidates." โ
The candidates all looked over, Lu Ru was stunned, and felt that the figure in front of him moved, and Lu Xuan seemed to be about to get up and go out to talk to the candidates as she said.
She is the best in the candidates, that is, she is usually not close to people, as long as she goes up to talk, the candidates will definitely treat her warmly.
His ability is not as good as Lu Xuan's, and he was really taken by the tail, and he went around talking about bad debts......
Lu Ru had a black face, took out his purse from his arms, and was about to smash the silver on Lu Xuan, when he suddenly stared at him like a life-seeking king, and immediately the back of his neck was cold, and his hairs stood on the ground.
He turned his head sharply, and there was only the high platform of the examiner's seat behind him, the curtain swaying slightly, and there was no one behind him.
Lu Xuan looked at him confusedly: "Lu Ru? โ
Lu Ru looked back slowly, in a cold sweat, remembering that he had just kicked the iron plate at Lu Xuan's place, and his frightened pale face recovered a little blue.
Holding the silver in his hand, Lu Ru stretched out his hand to smash it, and the next moment, he threw it beside Lu Xuan and left angrily.
Lu Xuan didn't mind, picked it up and put it in the baggage, she took out a soy sauce cake again and put it in her mouth.
Standing on the high platform, watching Lu Yu walk away, Gu Yuanli looked back at Lu Xuan eating the cake in small bites, coldly raised the corners of his lips, and said to Qin Xiao: "The papers of the past few days, his, will be brought to this king as soon as the exam is over." This king has passed, and if the other four are not, let them beware of their own heads. โ
Qin Xiao promised.

The examinations are laws and regulations, arithmetic, calligraphy, literary talents, and political theories.
Lu Xuan had already taken the exam in her last life, that is, many years had passed, but she also remembered the questions, answered them quickly and calmly, and no one in the examiner's seat talked to her anymore, that is, the few people in the concubine ate and lived around her, and they didn't give her trouble, and occasionally took care of her face when she washed, and she didn't grin at her.
However, even so, she was still wary of those people.
Half of the six days passed quickly, and the four days were stable, Lu Xuan thought that he could be safe, but who knew that after the calligraphy test on the fourth day, on the morning of the fifth day, something happened.
When she came back from washing, Lu Xuan held a set of skirts, looking at the various colors scattered in the baggage, women's clothes, and her eyes were cold.
It's hard to prevent.
After the exam every day, everyone will go to simply wash their faces and rinse their mouths, she tries to mess up the time, so as not to let those people touch the rules, who knows that they are still calculated!
She has also come to Kwai Shui in the past few days, and her original clothes are already dirty, and if she changes them, she will be suspicious sooner or later.
She only brought three sets of clothes, and in addition to the previous one, she also had this one on her body......
As he thought about it, there was a knock on the door.
The sneering voice of Lu Ru, the eldest son of the big house, came in.
"Lu Xuan, don't think that you will try it on until you wear it. If you change your clothes once every two days and bring three sets of clothes, the inspectors will know about it. If you wear it, I will believe the rumor and have you searched. โ
Lu Ru's thin face sneered contemptuously: "The eldest prince of the Lu Mansion is a woman, if it is true, presumably, the capital and the Son of Heaven will be greatly shaken, right?" But if you change it, hahaha......"
Lu Ru's laughter faded away, Lu Xuan pinched her dress, looked at the baggage, and pursed her lips tightly.
All her worries are what will happen after her identity is revealed.
In the previous life, her female body became an excuse for her to be executed by the new emperor. In this life, if she still dresses as a man all the time, then how can she guarantee that the people she assists will not treat her like that again?
The people in the examination institute naturally did not suspect her because she was wearing a skirt, after all, when she was born, she was an elderly Confucian Niu Ying who took pity on the Lu Mansion and escorted the Cui family, lying for her to guarantee that she was a man.
Now that Niu Ying has passed away, not to mention, she is highly respected and was once a staff member of the emperor, only for this reason, no one dares to search her because of her skirt. On the contrary, instead of changing, it is suspicious.
Lose the face of Lu Fu, and be searched suspiciously?
Lu Xuan pursed her lips, and after a while, she got up and changed into a skirt.
Putting the old clothes into the baggage, the exam bell rang, Lu Xuan opened the door, and was bumping into the person who was routinely checking on the cheater.
The man was stunned for a while, took a step back with a red face, and felt that something was wrong when he was done, glanced up and down at her, and then looked at the name tag on the door, and said in amazement: "Master Lu? โ
Lu Xuan shook his head, and the man was shocked: "Woman? โ
His voice was loud, and immediately all the inspectors looked over, and when they saw Lu Xuan, they were all stunned.
Lu Ru sat in the room, crossed his arms and sneered.
Lu Xuan didn't panic at all, and took out a bag of women's clothes to the inspector: "When I came back from washing in the morning, I found that my clothes had been transferred, and my previous clothes were so dirty that I couldn't wear them. Inspector Lao found out for me. โ
The inspector was about an unmarried man, looking at the women's clothes and not daring to touch them, he looked at the leader Zhu Inspector for help.
Inspector Zhu came over and couldn't help coughing when he saw Lu Xuan's long neck and thin wrists.
After flipping through it slightly, he asked the person who was admitted to the hospital, "Has anyone brought anything strange in?" Things such as cans that are easy to put in this garment. โ
The man shook his head, Inspector Zhu looked back at Lu Xuan, uncomfortable again, and said in a low voice: "You are a man, you are cornered, you are dressed indecently, you can't just dress for the exam, someone framed you, you really wore the exam, how can this be done by a man?" โ
Lu Xuan looked at him and smiled: "Men are informal, no matter what style of clothes they have, isn't it just a piece of cloth to cover their bodies?" โ
She was at ease and calm, and Inspector Zhu was stunned by her.
Lu Ru didn't expect her to be shameless, poked her head out and sneered: "Speaking of righteousness, in the final analysis, what is good for Grand Master Lu in private is to wear women's clothes, right?" Informal, me! โ
Of course, Lu Xuan knew that what she said was crooked.
She actually didn't think that this would embarrass Lu Fu's face, because losing Lu Fu's face was when she was a man.
However, as a man, if she is known to be actually a woman, she will lose the face of Lu Mansion even more, and maybe, in the end, it will be the lives of everyone in Lu Mansion who will be lost.
Lu Ru framed her, but told her to figure it out.
Instead of pulling the cover open and saying that she is a woman, it is better to take this opportunity to give everyone a preparation first.
The examiners here are in high positions, and she presents such a face to them now, so in the future, if she really declares herself to be a woman, they will not be strange.
If they are not surprised, they will not join in, and then they may not become sharp blades stabbing at Lu Fu.
Glancing at the calm examiner's seat, Lu Xuan lowered his eyes and said to Inspector Zhu: "Lu Ru can't see what I'm wearing there, but he opened his mouth, but he pointed out that I was wearing women's clothes, inspector, you should understand?" โ
Inspector Zhu was a little surprised to see that she didn't care at all, but seeing that the test was open, he couldn't say it anymore, and said, "I will ask someone to transfer his position away from you and report this matter to the master." โ
Looking at Lu Xuan, he coughed lowly, and couldn't help explaining: "Don't feel unfair, he didn't hurt you in the exam, nor did he hurt you in the slightest, and there is no evidence yet, so the matter of virtue cannot be let him go immediately, but, according to the rules set by the master of the courtyard and His Majesty......"
He shouted to Lu Ru: "People with bad conduct are not allowed to enter the palace examination, and for ten years, they are not allowed to take the scientific examination!" โ
Lu Ru was shocked, crawled out, and said in surprise: "I have never heard of this rule!" You're biased in favor of him, Lu Xuan, you're-"
"Shut up! This is a place of justice, and if you slander the inspector again, I will whip you immediately!" Inspector Zhu scolded, "You haven't heard of this rule before, it's really normal, but the master of the courtyard thinks that this year's trial needs to be strict, so this article will be added this morning and made public to the door of the courtyard!" If you have any objections, you can directly report to Your Majesty, book! โ
Lu Ru snatched the notice in his hand, and after seeing it clearly, his face was like dirt, and he knelt on the ground.
The announcement was made at three o'clock......
How could it be...... He only put the burden in at two o'clock, how could it be such a coincidence......
Lu Xuan looked at him, sneering, but also a little surprised.
It was precisely the notice released this morning, and it felt like knowing that Lu Ru would do this early in the morning.
She lifted her eyes to look at the examiner's seat and shook her head.
Even if you want to recruit her, it is impossible to do this. What's more, she had seen the master of the academy, his surname was Shu, and his voice was different from the person in the examiner's seat.
The person who is the scholar represents the fairness of the imperial examination, and that person is powerful and acquainted with the scholar, and the scholar will not change the court law at will.
The exam papers began to be issued, Lu Xuan looked at the familiar questions, answered them one by one, and couldn't help but look at the examiner's seat.
She kept convincing herself that it was impossible, but her instinct kept making noise, saying that the matter had nothing to do with the person at the table.
โฆโฆ If so?
Lu Xuan dipped in ink, and suddenly remembered the last person he saw in his previous life, the man in purple who didn't know his face.
If it weren't for what she saw in the end, she didn't know that someone would kill the king for her rebellion. Just like now, she didn't know why, that mysterious examiner would shelter her.
Not only did she not know, but she couldn't see their faces.
She hated the need to keep exploring.
Raising his hand to hand in the papers, Lu Xuan stood out and said to the examiner in the middle: "My lord, Lu is really uncomfortable wearing women's clothes for the exam, I don't know if the adult has clothes, whether he can borrow Lu Mou's body, after Lu will take the test, he will come to the door to thank him and return the clothes to Zhao." โ
