vs 87 Chapter 87 Two bowls of egg custard

'Ten years of hard work, just to become famous'. Any scholar who participated in the imperial examination looked forward to seeing his name on the list on the day it was released. This is an 'ever-changing' fact that has always been the case.

This time, the imperial examination was held at the same time, and the list was naturally released on the same day. It's just that the release of the literary examination is to tell everyone who has passed the exam. And the release of the martial arts on this day is to decide who can participate in the martial arts test in the martial arts three days later. As long as you participate in the martial arts test and obtain the approval of the examiners, you can be regarded as completing the martial arts township test and becoming a martial arts person.

There is a difference between this imperial examination and the previous one. Before the entrance examination, even if you fail the entrance examination or the township examination, as long as you have a letter of recommendation from an important minister in the court, you can go to Beijing to take the examination. And the four princes were sent to Gangneung Mansion for this purpose. If there are students in Gangneung Mansion who fail the exam, but can get the 'letter of recommendation' from the four princes, they can still go to Beijing to take the examination.

However, Huo Qingqing just guessed that it was impossible for Liao Wenbo to intersect with the Four Emperors so quickly, and Lu Hong and Lu Xianger didn't care. But the hearts of the two brothers and sisters have increased their good impression of Liao Wenbo and Qingya. What Lu Hong pays the most attention to is the day when the list is released.

For Lu Hong, the day of the release of the literary examination list is the day to decide whether he can go one step further to the hope in his heart. Although Lu Hong showed that he didn't care in front of Lu Xiang'er and everyone. But when this day really came, Lu Hong's heart was still very nervous. However, Lu Hong was still afraid that Lu Xiang'er would worry about him. Although he got up before dawn, he just sat in his room and did not go out.

Sitting quietly in the dark, Lu Hong remembered the days when he lived in Qinghe Village, and those playmates. I heard that Zhao Yi, who was the same year as Lu Hong, was already the father of two children, although he was not admitted to Luming Academy, but he went to the school again after a period of slump. Now, he's the gentleman of that school.

And Zhao Yi's younger sister Zhao Xiu actually married Zhang Xiaobao, the youngest son of Zhang's sister-in-law. Don't look at Zhang Xiaobao, who loved to bully others when he was a child, but now he is being killed by Zhao Xiuguan. The two of them have a very good life, even Sister-in-law Zhang provoked many times, but it never hurt the relationship between the two at all.

If Lu Erniang took Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er and still lived in Qinghe Village, Lu Hong should be married now, and maybe he should be the child's father. Every day, you should be like your master Zhao Pu, who makes a living by 'hunting in the mountains'. The days should be ordinary, but they should also be very warm.

"Brother open the door." Lu Hong was thinking about it, and a smile appeared on his face. At this time, a gentle knock on the door interrupted Lu Hong's conjecture.

Hearing that it was Lu Xiang'er's voice, Lu Hong felt strange in his heart, but he hurriedly opened the door and let Lu Xiang'er enter the room. At this time, the sky was not yet dawn, and it was still a little cold, and Lu Hong didn't want Lu Xiang'er to catch a cold and get sick. However, when it comes to getting sick, Lu Hong is really curious about how he hasn't seen Lu Xiang'er get sick for so many years.

"Brother, didn't I know you would wake up so early, why did you look at me with such strange eyes?" Lu Xiang'er put the two bowls in her hand on the table and grimaced at Lu Hong.

Lu Hong was startled by Lu Xiang'er's grimace by the moonlight, and immediately laughed: "Is my gaze so strange." Hey, what a delicious egg custard, I'm still hungry. ”

Pulling Lu Xiang'er to sit down together, Lu Hong put one in front of her, and then he sat and ate the egg custard in the other bowl. Seeing Lu Hong's scalded teeth, Lu Xiang'er immediately laughed. But while she was happy, she also picked up the porcelain spoon and ate it with Lu Hong.

A bowl of egg custard is down, and Lu Hong is comfortable all over. But Lu Xiang'er got up and put away the bowl, and was about to turn around and go out: "Brother, after eating the egg custard, let's rest for a while." After dawn, let's go to see the 'list' together. ”

"It's just that you have a lot of thoughts." Lu Hong understood Lu Xiang'er's intentions, and couldn't help laughing again. But when Lu Xiang'er just walked to the door, Lu Hong thought of something, and suddenly said: "Xiang'er, you come back and sit with your brother for a while, my brother wants to talk to you." ”

"My brother wants Xiang'er to accompany me, so Xiang'er will talk to my brother." Lu Xiang'er rarely heard Lu Hong want to talk to her, so she walked back very high and sat opposite Lu Hong.

Lu Hong hesitated for a long time before he asked softly under Lu Xiang'er's curious gaze, "Xiang'er, you are about to be in time." Have you ever wondered what kind of Lang Jun you will be in the future? ”

"Brother, your life's major affairs have not been resolved, but are you still worried that I won't be able to get married?" Lu Xiang'er was slightly stunned, and she was a little funny, this sentence seemed to have been asked by her Huo Qingqing. Thinking of her goal at that time, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Brother, do you have anything to say?" I'm your sister, so why should you knock on the side? ”

"Xiang'er is still as smart as ever." Lu Hong first praised Lu Xiang'er a little, then coughed and said a little uncomfortably: "Xiang'er, there are many sons in the world, and it is indeed rare to be as outstanding as Senior Brother Liao." However, Senior Brother Liao is from a famous family, handsome in appearance, and outstanding in learning, so it is impossible for him to marry a little lady like us......"

"Brother, what do you always do when you mention Gongzi Liao?" The more Lu Xiang'er listened, the more confused she became, so she interrupted Lu Hong.

Lu Hong raised his head and saw Lu Xiang'er's eyes full of doubts, and he understood that what he said before was completely true. Coughing again, Lu Hong still said tentatively: "Xiang'er, I mean, if, yes." If Liao Gongzi has a crush on you, you will ...... him and him."

"Brother, you said so much, just to know if I will marry Liao Gongzi, or someone like him, right?" Seeing Lu Hong nodding, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help laughing. While smiling, Lu Xiang'er said, "Brother, are you thinking too much. Liao Gongzi is five or six years older than me, and by the time I reach him, he may already be about to marry a wife. And do you think he's going to be interested in a young lady like me? ”

Lu Hong was relieved to see that Lu Xiang'er didn't have the slightest shyness of the unmarried little lady talking about the person she liked. But he didn't think much of what Lu Xiang'er said. If it weren't for Lu Hong discovering the brilliance in Liao Wenbo's eyes when he looked at Lu Xiang'er, how could he have thought of talking about this with Lu Xiang'er.

However, since Lu Xianger didn't care about Liao Wenbo, Lu Hong didn't want to say this, so as not to cause Lu Xianger's confusion, but it would make her pay too much attention to Liao Wenbo. It is easy for a person like Liao Wenbo to get the favor of an unmarried little lady.

Since this is the case, my brother is relieved. In case you are attracted by Senior Brother Liao and are willing to be his concubine, A-Niang will definitely not recognize you as a girl. Lu Hong's tone at this time was relaxed, and there was a hint of ridicule in it.

Lu Xiang'er raised her head and said without giving in: "Yes, yes, if A-Niang knew that you were thinking about a little lady who couldn't be with you all the time, she would definitely not recognize you as a son." ”

"You, how do you know?" When Lu Hong heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his body straightened up, and he looked at Lu Xiang'er in shock.

Seeing Lu Hong's appearance, Lu Xiang'er smiled very proudly: "You are my brother, I know you very well." Just look at your elegant look and demeanor, you know that you are interesting to others. actually dived for others, causing himself to get sick, and he never blamed others for missing the exam. Brother, do you have a deep affection for others? ”

"Don't talk nonsense in front of Qingya." Lu Hong was a little embarrassed by his sister who revealed the secret in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Xiang'er.

Lu Xiang'er rarely saw Lu Hong's shy appearance, it was very funny, and she even wanted to laugh out loud. But if you think about it carefully, doesn't Lu Hong's expression show that Lu Hong is sincere to Qingya. Lu Hong's temperament, Lu Xiang'er, knows very well that if he recognizes Qingya, he will not give up until Qingya gets married.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er's expression immediately became serious, and she said to Lu Hong seriously: "Brother, although we don't know Qingya's identity very well, she is Liao Gongzi's cousin after all, so she shouldn't be far behind." Moreover, are you sure that Qingya also has a crush on you? ”

"Xiang'er, I'm your brother, so you don't have to worry about my affairs. You see, it's dawn, we should go out for breakfast made by Aunt Zheng. Lu Hong knew that Lu Xiang'er was worried about him, and he also knew that what Lu Xiang'er said was what he had to face, but Lu Hong didn't want to face these things in front of Lu Xiang'er. In Lu Hong's heart, Lu Xiang'er has done enough for him and Lu Erniang, and this time he has to face it alone.

Lu Xiang'er didn't want to end this topic, but she found that the light outside, as well as the movement of Aunt Zheng who had already gotten up, could not continue. Lu Xiang'er, who was helpless, had no choice but to get up and walk out, and before turning around, she still said seriously: "Brother, if you really like Qingya, you should show her your heart as soon as possible." Otherwise, when she has someone she likes, her sister won't comfort you. ”

"Got it, you don't know how much you look like A-Niang now." Lu Hong pointed to the two empty bowls on the table and smiled at Lu Xiang'er. When Lu Xiang'er walked out of the room with the bowl and closed the door, the smile on Lu Hong's face slowly faded.

I don't know how long I sat there, but when Lu Hong heard Huo Qingqing's shout, he stood up with a smile again and began to change his clothes. After eating a bowl of egg custard and chatting with Lu Xianger for a long time, Lu Hong's heart calmed down a lot. However, when he thought that it would be time to decide his fate, Lu Hong still took a deep breath.
