Wu Shilu got the news and said helplessly: "Wait until the time is set, and we'll talk about it." ”

As the head of the family, her grandfather rarely let Wu Shilu go to the study, and now that she is entertaining guests, she should wait for her to send the guests away before ordering someone to send the message away. specially sent the steward around him, presumably there was an urgent matter.

"I'll send them back, and then I'll go to Grandpa."

"Yes."

Wu Shilu didn't delay too long, and after sending his guests away, he walked to his grandfather's study alone.

After entering the door, Wu Shilu smelled the faint ink fragrance of the scroll. In addition to Wu Shilu's grandfather Wu Peiwen, her father Wu Shuanghui was also among them.

The two were discussing a big matter, and they didn't respond much in the face of Wu Shilu's salute.

"This year, there are only three people from all over the country who have submitted for the exam."

It's a pity that Wu Shilu came unfortunately, and he could only hear Wu Shuanghui's reply, but he couldn't hear Wu Peiwen's question.

"There are only three of them...... Wu Peiwen's face was already full of ravines, and there were a few more wrinkles, "It seems that next year, there is no hope." With that, he stroked his long beard and sighed repeatedly.

Seeing Wu Peiwen like this, Wu Shuanghui also became nervous: "I don't know why my father asked about this?" ”

"A few days ago, I heard the son of the Song family mention that his mother was seriously ill, and his mother's illness ...... I'm afraid it won't be better......"

Wu Shuanghui's breath stagnated: "The second lady of the Song family? This...... Isn't that the East Palace! ”

"This time...... It's too unlucky......"

Of course, Wu Shilu knew what her grandfather was talking about about the Song family. Speaking of the Song family in Shangjing, there is only the mother family of the queen of the British Mansion. And the second lady of the British Mansion they mentioned, Wu Shilu had heard rumors of her illness in the market, but she didn't know that it was so serious.

"Shi Lu."

As soon as Wu Peiwen shouted, Wu Shilu immediately responded: "Here!" ”

"Do you hear me talking to your father?"

"My granddaughter hears it."

"What do you think?"

Wu Shilu was stunned for a moment, and looked at her grandfather blankly with her mouth half-open.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Wu Peiwen was angry, and in a hurry, he slapped the armrests on both sides of the chair, and after looking at Wu Shilu's innocent eyes, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's because I want to fork in." ”

Wu Shilu said cautiously: "This matter of the East Palace...... Which round of interjection? Grandpa should ask his brother about this court matter. ”

In this study, Wu Shilu doesn't come much. Among the peers, only the elder brother who entered the court as an official was qualified to come in and discuss state affairs with his grandfather and father.

Wu Shuanghui couldn't stand it anymore, and said bluntly: "If the second lady of the Song family deteriorates, she will die." The Song family, the companion of the East Palace, is bound to go home to guard filial piety. Today's royal concubine has reached the age of marriage...... I'm afraid that the young talents of each family will not want to enter the palace......"

The East Palace companion has always been a sought-after position, and Wu Shuanghui's words made Wu Shilu hard to believe.

"Although there is no grade in this East Palace, this is a great opportunity to meet the Holy Lord and the future Holy One! Even if the young talents are reluctant to go, the children of the family who are messing around can always go to one or two to mingle...... Besides, don't you have a brother? ”

"Rather than sending them to the palace, the elders of the family hope that these outstanding heirs will get an official position and a marquis. The son of the family who is messing around is annoyed even by the emperor, how can he send it to the East Palace to dislike people? The more Wu Shuanghui spoke, the more excited he became, and the speed of his speech became faster and faster: "It's a pity that this East Palace companion can only be served by someone who has no official status, otherwise how could my father think of you?" ”

Wu Shilu's eyes drifted away, not daring to meet Wu Shuanghui's gaze.

"You! That's it......" Wu Shuanghui said hatefully: "It's me who indulges you too much......"

"My father knew I had no intention of pursuing a career. Why did my father and grandfather think of me about this? The son of the Song family hasn't left yet, and things may not have developed to that point. Isn't it just a companion reading? The emperor is so powerful, what if there is one less companion to read? ”

"Is this one less companion?" Wu Shuanghui couldn't help but wonder if it was the right decision for the two of them to let Wu Shilu come over.

"Shi Lu hasn't seen this, it's normal to not understand." Wu Peiwen slowly looked at Wu Shilu, and continued: "Shi Lu really thinks it's just one less companion? ”

"Hmm......" Wu Shilu was very disliked by her father, and she asked timidly: "Can grandpa tell me in detail?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell you......"

The biological mother of the second princess has a lowly status and has no foundation in the palace. After becoming the emperor, the situation is even more like walking on thin ice. The ministers above the court and even the current saints are not optimistic about a woman becoming the prince.

Although the East Palace companion is nominally rankless, it is actually an important position used to train the right-hand man of the future heir.

The failure of the imperial concubine to break her arm will only make it more and more difficult for her to go on this road to the prince. As the teacher of the imperial concubine, Wu Peiwen will naturally be anxious.

"If there is a lack of a companion in the East Palace, it is equivalent to telling the ministers that the emperor has no ability to be a monarch, and no wise man is willing to recognize this prince."

After a little bit, Wu Shilu understood why his grandfather and father were so anxious.

It's just that......

"I'm really not fit to enter the palace......"

Wu Shuanghui sighed helplessly, "My father and I also understand...... But ......"

Wu Shilu understood what his father had not finished saying, and now there was no one else to choose except her.

"Grandpa's students, don't you want to either? Not a single student who meets the application requirements and does not have an official status? ”

Wu Peiwen nodded heavily, and Wu Shilu bowed his head and was silent.

Compared with Wu Shilu's depression, Li Jiangwei is in a very good mood. Not only did she have a fulfilling afternoon, but she also made an appointment with her new friends to see the cat in the future, and Lixin didn't cause trouble.

But to be a first-class maid, it's not enough to be obedient.

"What do you see in the Wu family today?"

Li Jiangwei's question, Lixin was caught off guard, and she racked her brains and didn't come up with a suitable answer.

"I ...... I don't know ......."

Pear heart is still poor in perception and needs to be guided slowly.

"Then let me ask again, what did the other maids do when you were waiting outside the house?"

"Other people's ...... They all waited quietly outside the door, and did not speak much. Even when he speaks, his voice is small. ”

"Next time you go out, if there is anything that won't happen in the future, see more how others do it."

Lixin's little face turned red, and she responded excitedly after a while: "Yes!" ”

Of the three maids under his hand, Li Yue is the most convenient one, with quick hands and feet, and can also talk to himself. Since Li Yue has her considerations and is willing to seriously cultivate Li Xin, Li Jiangwei decided to believe Li Yue's judgment.

When Lixin really grows, Li Jiangwei also has a nameless pride in her heart, and she is also sincerely happy for Liyue and Lixin.

Looking at the girls in her courtyard, Li Jiangwei remembered the trivial things that happened after the crossing. For a while, I regretted picking a story about overseas exploration!

What if she also wrote this house story? Where can I worry about having no inspiration and no ideas?

It's not okay to regret it, or honestly go through the information book given by the third brother. Not long after, the familiar sound of reading came to my ears. A few dialogues flashed through my head, and something was about to come out. Li Jiangwei picked up the pen and wrote down all the inspirations that suddenly appeared on paper.

Inspiration came fiercely, and Li Jiangwei wrote a long paragraph with enthusiasm.

It's a pity that this paragraph has nothing to do with the follow-up of "Overseas Lost", but a brand new story. The corners of Li Jiangwei's mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and the movements in her hands did not stop. Set aside the filled paper and replace it with a new one, and continue to add handwriting to the new paper.

This time I wrote the story of a young girl who disguised herself as a man and went to a scientific expedition.
