A month ago, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued an order to break through Enke. This is the first time since Emperor Zhao Changyuan succeeded to the throne that the imperial examination was temporarily set up. Moreover, this imperial examination was conducted at the same time as the civil examination and the martial examination. In order for the imperial examination to proceed smoothly, the candidates who participated in the examination must come from all the major academies across the country. In other words, as long as you have the documents of the academy, you can participate in this Enko. Therefore, this decree made the entire academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty lively.

I remember that three years ago, all the famous academies of the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly recruited a group of students. At that time, it was rumored that this was for the future imperial examination and to cultivate more talents for the court. Unexpectedly, this is true. Moreover, the court also attached importance to martial arts this time, which made many students who practiced martial arts very happy, such as Lu Hong.

Lu Hong noticed that Lu Erniang didn't seem to like him very much to do something related to martial arts. For example, when I heard him and Huo Qingsong discuss outside Qinghe Village, I was very unhappy. But Lu Hong didn't expect that Lu Erniang would be so opposed to his martial arts examination.

However, as the saying goes, everything is prosperous. Lu Hong also returned home no matter what he said, Lu Erniang and his mother and son finally reconciled as before, and the atmosphere of the Lu family immediately returned to the joy and warmth of the past.

However, although Lu Erniang was not angry with Lu Hong, she couldn't let go of Lu Hong's martial arts test. In Lu Erniang's cognition, the examination still has to be examined, and then it will be promising. In the martial arts examination, no matter what kind of test you get, you can only be a 'martial artist'. Moreover, there is the most important point, and it is also the point that Lu Erniang minds the most, Lu Hong's biological father used to be Wu Zhuangyuan.

Regarding this 'Wu Zhuangyuan', I will mention it carefully later, so I won't talk about it here. can only say that Lu Erniang was originally the wife of this famous matchmaker of Wu Zhuangyuan. But because of one thing, Lu Erniang was so angry that she took Lu Hong to reconcile with him.

Since then, when Lu Erniang thought of that person, she was extremely disgusted, and she didn't want Lu Hong to have anything to do with this person. So I heard that Lu Hong was going to take the martial arts exam and want to be the champion of martial arts, and Lu Erniang opposed it very fiercely. even threatened Lu Hong that if he had to take the martial arts test, he would not have to go back to the Lu family.

Lu Erniang thought that Lu Hong would change her mind, but she didn't expect Lu Hong to be so resolute this time. Not only did he not return home once a month, but he never wrote a letter. If Lu Xiang'er hadn't entrusted someone to inquire about Lu Hong's situation, Lu Erniang would not have learned about her son for a month. Lu Hong's temperament is so similar to his father, they are all so ruthless, how can Lu Erniang not worry that Lu Hong will become a person like his father.

After lunch, Lu Erniang didn't have the heart to do anything else, so she went back to her room. Sitting on the bed, Lu Erniang somehow, always remembered Lu Hong's father's ruthless face towards her before he left. Thinking of Lu Hong and his father's imaginary appearance, Lu Erniang was a little worried.

Lu Erniang's expression revealed her thoughts, how could Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er rest assured to do anything else. When Lu Erniang was in a daze in the room, the brother and sister stood outside the door, you made a look at me, I made a look at you, and they both wanted the other party to relieve Lu Erniang.

Lu Xiang'er saw that Lu Hong kept glancing at herself, so she couldn't help but whisper: "Brother, this is what you are worried about, why do you want me to relieve A-Niang." ”

"Xiang'er, you eat a lot of Qingxinlou pastries I bought for you." Lu Hong raised his eyebrows, so angry that Lu Xiang'er stomped her feet.

In the past month or so, the news that Lu Erniang knew about Lu Hong was said to be inquired by Lu Xiang'er, but it was actually Lu Xiang'er who had met Lu Hong. In the past month, although Lu Hong has not been able to go home, it has not prevented him from meeting Lu Xiang'er secretly outside. Every time they meet, the brother and sister exchange news, which reassures Lu Hong about his family and Lu Erniang about Lu Hong.

And every time the brother and sister meet, Lu Hong will bring Lu Xianger her favorite pastries. Lu Xiang'er always ate pastries while promising Lu Hong to help him appease Lu Erniang, so that Lu Erniang's anger with him would dissipate as soon as possible. At this time, Lu Hong didn't say anything, just nodded and smiled. Lu Xiang'er didn't expect that Lu Hong had learned to be insidious, and she would speak out at this time and ask her to explain Lu Erniang.

Thinking of 'taking other people's hands is short, eating other people's mouths is short', Lu Xiang'er glared at Lu Hong fiercely, but still raised her feet and walked to Lu Erniang's room. Both brothers and sisters understand that the one who can talk to Lu Erniang at this time is Lu Xiang'er. Who made Lu Hong a man and didn't understand a woman's mind.

Seeing Lu Xiang'er enter Lu Erniang's room, Lu Hong looked at the sky, and his eyes turned to have an idea. Back in the main room, Lu Hong said a word to Chaoxia and went out alone. Chaoxia didn't even move, still embroidering her purse. In the past three years, Chaoxia's embroidery skills have finally improved. During this time, she was very keen on embroidering handkerchiefs, purses, and so on. Basically, there is nothing going on, and Asaka won't move all day.

In Lu Erniang's room, Lu Xiang'er was already sitting on the bed with Lu Erniang, sewing the robe for Lu Hong. Compared with Chaoxia's turtle speed embroidery skills, Lu Xianger's craftsmanship is better than Lu Erniang's, which has the meaning of 'blue is better than blue'. Lu Erniang is very proud that Lu Xianger can have such a female celebrity.

While the needle and thread were flying, Lu Erniang and Lu Xiang'er were gossiping. Lu Xiang'er saw that Lu Erniang's mood seemed to be better, so she suddenly said: "Ah Niang, I heard that Sister Yue gave birth to a son, but Aunt Zhao couldn't keep her mouth shut." ”

"Yes, a few days ago, I went to see our family's field and went to Aunt Zhao's house to sit down. That kid doesn't look like the weak Brother Yi at all, but he looks very much like your Uncle Zhao. Thinking of Aunt Zhao's satisfied look, Lu Erniang was very envious. Seeing that Lu Hong is almost seventeen, if it weren't for the fact that the academy was about to take the imperial examination, Lu Erniang would also be ready to say a family affair for him.

As soon as Lu Xiang'er saw Lu Erniang's eyes, she knew what she was thinking, and hurriedly said, "A-Niang, you said that this time flies so fast." Now that I think of those days in Qinghe Village, it seems like it happened yesterday. I remember that when I first arrived in Qinghe Village, Zhang Xiaobao in the village scolded Xiang'er for being a fool, and my brother had a fight with him......"

"Don't look at your brother who didn't talk much at that time, he was really ruthless when he beat people. Now when Zhang Xiaobao sees me, he will also mention the embarrassment of being beaten by your brother at the beginning. Listening to Lu Xiang'er's memories, Lu Erniang also remembered the life of Qinghe Village. Although she left in the end, Lu Erniang still misses those days very much.

Lu Xiang'er glanced at Lu Erniang, and said carefully: "Ah Niang, when my brother wanted to practice martial arts with Uncle Zhao, he just wanted to prevent Xiang'er and Ah Niang from being bullied by the villagers. Therefore, when he met General Huo at the foot of the mountain outside Qinghe Village, he happily learned martial arts with him. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiang'er glanced up at Lu Erniang again, but she didn't see her say anything. Lu Xiang'er's heart calmed down a little, and she continued: "Later, Mr. Song came to our house, and Sister-in-law Zhang came to the door with her son who was a soldier and caught fast. At that time, my brother felt that he was just practicing martial arts, and he couldn't protect Xiang'er and A-Niang. At that time, my brother had the idea of taking the imperial examination to become a big official. My brother did everything so that Xiang'er and A-Niang would not be bullied by others......"

"Xiang'er, don't say it. A-Niang knows that Hong Ge'er's greatest wish is to be a general who fights on the battlefield. Lu Erniang couldn't hear what Lu Xiang'er meant at this time. Sighing softly, Lu Erniang put down the needle and thread, took Lu Xiang'er's hand, and said with a sigh: "If it weren't for Xiang'er, how could Brother Hong have this opportunity to do what he wants." At the beginning, A-Niang promised your father in her heart that she would take good care of you. Now, he asked you to take care of A-Niang and help Hong Ge'er realize his wish. A-Niang is really ......"

Lu Erniang said that she couldn't go, but she startled Lu Xiang'er, hurriedly grabbed her hand, and said hurriedly: "A-Niang, Xiang'er is the closest person to your brother." Doing something for her relatives, Xiang'er has no regrets. Moreover, my brother has also done a lot of things for Xiang'er, and Xiang'er doesn't want her brother to wronged herself. ”

"But if your brother wants to be like his own father......" Lu Erniang didn't continue, just shook her head. Lu Xiang'er understood that Lu Erniang didn't like Lu Hong's martial arts examination, but it was because of Lu Hong's biological father. However, Lu Xianger didn't know what happened to Lu Erniang back then, and she didn't know what to say at this time.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Lu Hong strode in. He came to the bed and looked at Lu Erniang, and said very seriously: "A-Niang, what you just said, my son heard it." Now the Son will tell you who the Son is like, and he will not be like that man. The son promised A-Niang that no matter how difficult it was in the future, the son would not do that kind of thing. ”

"Since you said so, A-Niang doesn't want to embarrass you." Lu Erniang looked at Lu Hong's face and sighed again: "Brother Hong, you will be seventeen years old soon." It stands to reason that you should have been engaged and ready to get married. However, A-Niang doesn't want you to have any regrets in the future, so your family affairs can only be delayed. If you really meet the little lady you want to marry, you have to make sure to treat others well in the future, you know. ”

"Auntie, don't worry. The son is not a heartless and unrighteous man. When Lu Hong said the latter sentence, the disdain in his eyes made Lu Xiang'er very curious. But the current situation didn't allow Lu Xiang'er to ask more, so she took Lu Erniang's hand and said with a smile: "A-Niang, as long as you live happily and live to be a hundred years old, you can watch your brother all the time, and he will not dare to disobey you." ”

"Didn't he just not listen this time?" Lu Erniang nodded Lu Xiang'er's nose and looked at Lu Hong pouting a little disapprovingly. But in her heart, she is very relieved to have such an outstanding pair of children.
