In the teahouse, Lu Xiang'er sat opposite Chaoxia and quietly looked out the window. On the table, in the teacup in front of the two, the tea was already cold. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, but no one wanted to say a word, they were all thinking about their own hearts. Even Lu Hong, Song Yuan, and Huo Qingsong came from afar, and neither of them saw it. It wasn't until the sound of Song Yuan and Lu Hong talking from downstairs that Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia turned their heads and came back to their senses.

After Xiao Wu pushed open the door and let Lu Hong and the three of them in, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia had a tacit understanding that they didn't mention what had just happened. In order not to let Lu Hong feel his sad emotions, Lu Xiang'er's face immediately appeared with a smile and greeted him.

Song Yuan and the three of them went upstairs very leisurely, and when they saw Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia at the door, the steps of the three of them were much faster. Song Yuan, who was walking in front, had a smile on his face, and so was Lu Hong behind him, and even Huo Qingsong's expression was very relaxed. Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Lu Xiang'er's heart was also stable.

"Xiang'er, congratulations to my brother for entering Luming Academy to study." As soon as the door was closed, Lu Xiang'er pulled Lu Hong to congratulate him.

Song Yuan saw Lu Xiang'er's blessing, and he also had a funny idea in his heart. Thinking about it, he straightened his face and said very seriously: "Xiang'er, we haven't said it is good news or bad news, how do you know that Brother Hong passed the exam?" ”

"Sir, Xiang'er has grown up, but she is not a three-year-old child. How can there be no good news for you to come back so happily. Lu Xiang'er's tone was a little proud, and her expression was cute, which made Song Yuan laugh.

As a party concerned, Lu Hong naturally couldn't stop rejoicing from his heart. When he saw Lu Xiang'er so cute, he remembered what Lu Xiang'er wanted to eat before. Looking at the time, Lu Hong reminded Lu Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, it's time for lunch soon, have you thought about what to eat?" ”

Lu Xiang'er rolled her eyes, thought about it but said with some embarrassment: "Brother, I haven't been to Jiangling Mansion a few times in total, how do I know what is special here." ”

"Well, too." Lu Hong nodded, then turned to Song Yuan and asked, "Sir, do you know what special dishes this Jiangling Mansion has?" ”

"Well...... this" Song Yuan just wanted to say something, but Yu Guang saw Huo Qingsong drinking tea very leisurely, so he smiled and said: "If you want to know what is delicious in Jiangling Mansion, you have to ask Qingsong." Let me tell you, Qingsong's grandmother is from this Gangneung Province. When he was a child, he followed Mrs. Huo to come here a lot, and Jiangling Mansion was the most familiar place for Qingsong. ”

"Then I'll have to consult General Huo." Lu Hong seemed to be familiar with Huo Qingsong, and his tone was not as unfamiliar as when he said goodbye to Qingshi County. This made Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia next to her slightly stunned. The two glanced at each other before they looked at Huo Qingsong with some inquiry.

I don't know if Huo Qingsong doesn't care about Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's eyes, or if he has other thoughts. Anyway, he didn't squint, and his expression didn't change: "Since you want to eat specialty, let's go to Hongyun Building." It is the oldest restaurant in Gangneung Province, and most of the dishes are among the best in the area. ”

"When I was in Beijing, I also heard people talk about Jiangling Hongyun Tower." Song Yuan agreed with what Huo Qingsong said and nodded: "Then let's go there at noon today, it can be regarded as celebrating for Brother Hong." ”

"Hongyun Building is very famous, if you want to go there to eat, we'd better go early. Otherwise, it's easy to run out of seats. Huo Qingsong took a sip of tea, and his voice did not fluctuate at all. This made Lu Xiang'er a little suspicious, and when she heard Chaoxia admit that she was Wang Zhen's righteous daughter, the person whose face changed slightly was Huo Qingsong.

Song Yuan didn't care at all, and when he heard Huo Qingsong say this, he immediately put down the teacup. He first called Xiao Wu and asked him to settle the bill, and then said to a few people: "Then let's go now, so that there will be no seats for a while." ”

Song Yuan's decision, the rest of the people had no opinion, and they all got up and went downstairs. This time, Song Yuan was in a carriage with Huo Qingsong, and Lu Xiang'er and her brother and sister were in a carriage with Chaoxia. As soon as Xiao Wujiang's carriage drove away from the teahouse, Lu Hong said softly: "Xiang'er, I saw the master's family in Luming Academy." ”

"Brother, do you mean Aunt Zhao's family?" Lu Xiang'er was very happy to have news of Zhao Xiu, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that Lu Hong's face was not very good, and her heart sank. Thinking of the possibility of the Zhao family in Luming Academy, Lu Xiang'er asked with some uncertainty: "Brother, Brother Yi also went to Luming Academy to take the exam, then ...... him?"

"Zhao Yi was rejected by Luming Academy because he was a little weak." Lu Hong recalled Zhao Yi's dejected expression, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia were a little strange about the reason why Zhao Yi was rejected, so they asked Lu Hong. Only then did I know that Luming Academy took the test in the largest square in the academy on the day of the exam. Each student has a desk, a pen, ink and paper, and the college is answering the questions on the spot.

When he went to see the results today, Lu Hong realized that the institute was not only asking students to answer questions at that time. He also secretly observed each student and wrote a comment to each student. With this comment and that answer sheet, it is the final result that determines whether or not you can enter Luming Academy.

Glancing at Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong said with a wry smile: "When answering the question, Brother Yi once fainted once. Later, he was quickly woken up and finally finished answering the questions before leaving. Unexpectedly, this did become the reason why he couldn't enter the academy. ”

"Then Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao should be very disappointed." Lu Xiang'er didn't think there was anything wrong with the courtyard of Luming Academy at all, so Zhao Yi was indeed too weak. It is estimated that the ancients said that 'there is no power to tie the chicken', which means that this Zhao Yi is a person. In Lu Xiang'er's opinion, a person who can't even pick up a chicken, what else can you expect him to do.

Lu Hong thought that Zhao Yi was really knowledgeable, and said with some pity: "No, the master and the master are very disappointed." However, they didn't blame Brother Yi'er, and persuaded him not to care anymore. can look at Brother Yi like that, it seems to be ......"

"Brother, don't think about Brother Yi'er. I believe that after a while, he will recover. Lu Xiang'er didn't want Zhao Yi's matter to dilute the joy of the Lu family, and began to change the topic: "By the way, brother, the marriage date of Sister Yue and Brother Yi should also be set." I remember what Aunt Zhao said, it seems that she is going to let Brother Yi marry when he is fourteen years old. ”

"Well, my wife said it, and it was set for the sixth day of the sixth month. She also asked us to go back to Qinghe Village to drink happy wine. Lu Hong was slightly embarrassed when he talked about Zhao Yi's marriage. Because if you let Lu Erniang know about this, you have to nag him again. Moreover, there was a morning glow sitting in the carriage, and Lu Hong was a little embarrassed.

Coincidentally, the carriage stopped at this time, and Lu Hong didn't want to say any more, so he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage. His hurried appearance made Lu Xiang'er stunned. When she thought about it again, she understood why Lu Hong was like this, and Lu Xiang'er was really happy. Chaoxia, who has followed Wang Zhen to the north and south since he was a child, doesn't know much about these. She just felt a little weird about Lu Xiang'er's brother and sister's behavior, and she didn't look shy like Lu Hong.

After getting out of the carriage, a tall, simple but extremely lively building appeared in front of Lu Xiang'er. As soon as she looked up, she saw a huge plaque hanging high above her head, engraved with three very atmospheric characters - 'Hongyun Building'.

Standing outside the gate of Hongyun Building, you can feel how hot the business of the restaurant is. Listening to the laughter coming from inside, and seeing Xiao Er running around from the gate, with an amazing number of tea trays hanging on his arms, Lu Xiang'er immediately felt very hungry and wanted to go in and have a big meal.

Lu Xiang'er's mental method was clearly shown on her face, and she could see that Song Yuan and Lu Hong were really smiling. Huo Qingsong and Chaoxia also raised the corners of their mouths, showing that they were in a good mood. However, when the two noticed that each other's expressions were similar to their imagination, they immediately turned their heads and looked away. It can be seen that the two are still a little awkward about each other's identities and the way they get along.

"Okay, let's go in quickly, Xiang'er's saliva is about to flow down." Song Yuan saw that Xiao Wu and Huo Bao had already put the carriage back, and then started to walk into the restaurant. Lu Xiang'er in the back hurriedly followed, but said in her mouth: "Look at what Mr. said, it seems that Xiang'er hasn't eaten for a few days." ”

"Look at you, it's like you haven't eaten in days." Lu Hong walked up to Lu Xiang'er in a few steps, teasing her, causing Lu Xiang'er to fly with a white eye. At this time, she also found that Chaoxia was walking behind, and hurriedly turned around and walked with Chaoxia. Huo Qingsong, who followed behind, looked at the two of them behaving like sisters, and his heart seemed to be a little more relaxed.

To be honest, when he heard Chaoxia in the carriage say that he didn't care about her father-in-law, Huo Qingsong didn't believe it. After all, Wang Zhen died in front of him and Song Beiqiao, and no one else knew what had happened between the three of them. If Chaoxia said something against her heart and secretly planned revenge, Huo Qingsong was really afraid that she would take revenge on Song Yuan. And until now, Huo Qingsong still suspected that Chaoxia stayed in the Lu family because he knew Song Yuan's identity and knew his thoughts.

Although it was only a suspicion and it was not yet confirmed, Huo Qingsong did not dare to be careless. His only thought now was to bring Song Yuan back to Jingshi. But thinking of his resolute attitude, Huo Qingsong felt that he had to find a way from other aspects, and he must let Song Yuan leave here as soon as possible. The situation in Jingshi is not very optimistic, and only Song Yuan can break the deadlock.

Thinking about the news that he had checked back in the past few days, Huo Qingsong looked at Song Yuan, who was ordering. I made up my mind that after dinner, I would find a way to send a letter to Song Beiqiao. If he agreed to the suggestion in the letter, then Huo Qingsong would be able to bring Song Yuan back to Jingshi smoothly.
