Chapter 1167: Birthday Present
"That's right." Lu Ruicheng thought about it for a while and nodded, it is true that they are in the capital now, and they are not in that small place in Mingzhou, so they have to take care of it.
"Thank you, brother!" Lu Ruicheng said with a smile.
After Si Si saw Qi Yuntong coming, he took a few maids around him to buy, there were many guests who came today, and there were a lot of things to prepare, after Si Si left, Qi Yuntong came more and more without scruples, sat down and patted, patted the small box and said: "You hurry up and open it to see what you have sent, I am very curious!" ”
Qi Yuntong also asked his brother what was in it, but his brother never said it, which made Qi Yuntong so curious along the way.
Lu Ruicheng opened the small box and saw a bunch of jade rings, lying in this brocade box, only to find that it was a nine rings made of white jade, and the jade rings collided with each other and made a crisp sound.
This jade is a good jade, the whole body is fair, if there are no impurities in the silver, you can vaguely feel the warm warmth in your hand, and it is valuable at a glance, but ......
Lu Ruicheng looked at her sister with some puzzlement and said, "What does your brother mean by giving me this?" ”
The Nine Rings are generally for children to play, and they can be regarded as being used to develop intelligence, and this thing looks valuable and must be valuable, but is it necessary to increase intelligence for Lu Ruicheng to hold it, or to collect it?
Qi Yuntong had already had a black line on the end when his little sister opened the box, and felt that his brother's gift was too careless, so he couldn't help but complain: "My brother is really a straight man, and he doesn't know anything about girls' liking." ”
Lu Ruicheng nodded and said with a smile: "I suddenly feel a little sympathy for that Luo Fandai, if Luo Fandai really becomes your sister-in-law, you must not be angry with your brother, such a person who does not understand the amorous feelings, how boring it should be in the future!" ”
Qi Yuntong's gift was to directly give Lu Ruicheng a complete set of books that Lu Ruicheng liked, a box full of them, and said in a new and new way: "Of course it can't be only this thing, Orange Orange, I can't think of giving you anything interesting for a while, so I only have one sentence I will pack whatever you want to read in the future, no matter what kind of book or miscellaneous book, or what kind of unique book or something, but as long as you want to see it tell me, no matter how precious it is, I will want to find it for you." ”
Qi Yuntong doesn't have so many bells and whistles to please his little sisters, but when it comes to his best friend, Qi Yuntong naturally shows his sincere intentions.
But for Lu Ruicheng, this is enough.
Lu Ruicheng asked Tangerine Duo to take these gifts to the room and put them away, and then went to the courtyard with Qi Yuntong, waiting for other guests to come over.
After leaving the court, Zhou Bowen was left by the emperor to discuss the matter of Chunqiu in the imperial study, because there were people at the border who made trouble, but there was no exam in March this year, Zhou Bowen and the emperor proposed to postpone the test to August, and the county test to July.
"It is not easy for the emperor's students, if the scientific examination is suspended this year, how will those poor students who use the strength of the whole family to go to the capital to take the exam spend the next year?" Zhou Bowen himself was also admitted from the imperial examination, and he has seen it in the academy, and many of them also know that it is not easy for poor students, and many scholars are part-time workers and students to participate in the imperial examination, while studying, while doing some small work, how can these people wait.
The emperor thought for a while and said, "Just do what you want." ”
Although the situation above the court has improved a lot now, the emperor just doesn't want to miss many talents.
What's more, there are still a few people around me, and I have some other ideas, I'm afraid it's not enough.
The two exchanged for more than half an hour before they preliminarily finalized many matters for the imperial examination, and waited until Zhou Bowen went back to prepare this matter into a recital, and then raised it tomorrow morning.
"By the way, the pair of twin brothers and sisters of the Lu family, it's a birthday today, right?" The emperor suddenly remembered this matter and said.
Zhou Bowen nodded, and he didn't wonder why the emperor knew about such a thing: "Yes, today is the birthday of my younger brothers and sisters, and Weichen is also ready to rush back to celebrate the birthday of the two!" General Lu Xiao was already waiting outside the palace, just waiting for the two of us to go back together. ”
Zhou Bowen still had a smile on his face when he said this, and the subtext was that the emperor should say something quickly, and if he was fine, let him go back to celebrate his younger siblings' birthdays.
The emperor naturally heard what he meant, and didn't blame more, several people knew each other at a young age, and it was okay to be a little relaxed between words, nodded and said: "If that's the case, then how can I not give a congratulatory gift?" For the time being, you can follow General Lu Xiao and the two of them back to the house, and my congratulatory gift will arrive in a while. ”
"Then Weichen thanked the emperor for his two younger brothers and sisters." Zhou Bowen nodded, and after saluting, he withdrew from the imperial study and came to the outside of the palace.
Lu Wei'an has been waiting outside the palace for a long time, riding a tall horse with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, looking bored.
After seeing Zhou Bowen come out, he hurriedly greeted him and took someone's hand and said, "But it's finally out, let's go back quickly, the family is still waiting for us." ”
Zhou Bowen, who always has a cold face on weekdays above the court, can't help but smile when he faces his sweetheart. Nodding his head, he said, "Well, let's go back!" ”
Lu Wei'an rode over, and when he went back, he only asked someone to lead his horse back to the house, and he and Zhou Bowen were crammed into a carriage, whispering in the carriage, and went all the way home.
After the emperor sent Zhou Bowen away, he ordered someone to send some congratulatory gifts to Lu Mansion, and when he was dealing with affairs, the eldest prince suddenly visited him.
"What are you doing here?" The emperor didn't raise his head and asked, "I just came over to see these twists and turns, what do you think should be done?" ”
Zhu Yansheng came over to have something to talk about, but looking at his father's appearance, he could only hold back for the time being and come over to help deal with the folds, after saying a few words, the emperor saw that this kid couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but raise his head from the fold pile and asked with a smile: "You kid is too lazy to let you do some things on weekdays, and you always push back, why are you so free to take the initiative to come to me today." ”
