Chapter 260: How can life be enough
He stared at Lu Jingcong's name for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's just a bachelor in the Hongwen Pavilion, and the fold is sent back to Menxia Province, naturally someone will tell the officials to do it, and it is not a knight, where do you need to pass on any decree?" β
Zhong Chi Chi heard that his tone was a little wrong, so he honestly explained: "It's because I want to pass on the decree, Your Majesty will give me a chance, right?" β
Li Changye smiled at her: "Who do you want to send a decree to?" β
Fingers clicked three times on the song, and Zhong Chichi said with a smile: "All three, I want to see them!" β
Li Changye's gaze crossed over the two names behind him, fell on the first place, and asked lazily, "Does Chi'er recognize Lu Jingcong?" β
Zhong Chichi obediently said "um" and said, "Five years ago in Wu County, when Cui Xian bullied me, he helped me. β
Li Changye's eyes changed, and he said sourly: "Isn't Ouyang Xu helping you?" β
Zhong Chichi grinned: "Ouyang Xu was busy spying on my master at that time!" He only cares about giving out money, and it is Lu Jingcong who comes out. β
When Cui Xian blackmailed her, although Ouyang Xu sent silver, she quietly hid it, and in the end, Lu Jingcong came forward and made a promise for her.
Li Changye was even more sour: "I'm old, and I'm still staring at the twelve-year-old lady......"
"He was only thirty back thenβ" Zhong Chi retorted halfway through, and suddenly blessed his heart, and changed his words, "But even if he is ten years younger, he can't compare to His Majesty's handsomeness!" β
Li Changye was immediately amused by her, pinched her face, and said, "The mouth is so sweet, the widow will write one for you-" stretched his arm, "Pen and ink wait!" β
β¦β¦
Lu Qun's wedding date is tomorrow, and today is the day when the woman gives the dowry, so the Lu Mansion is very lively, but when Zhong Chi arrived with the holy decree, the guests were almost scattered.
After hearing Zhong's late intention, Father Lu, who was the waiter of the Ministry of Rites at the time, was stunned.
It's no wonder he couldn't react.
As Li Changye said, conferring this level of official position is not qualified to ask for a holy decree at all, and even if a holy decree is requested, it must be reviewed by the ministry and then executed by the ministry.
The ranking just came out yesterday, and according to the normal process, it was not awarded so quickly.
Besides, what's the matter with letting His Majesty the Emperor's favorite beauty come and deliver the decree?
However, no matter how much they muttered in their hearts, Lu Shilang and Lu Qun still respectfully invited Zhong Chi Chi in, and ordered the servants to invite Lu Jingcong.
The incense case in the front hall has been prepared, and the idle people have been cleared out, and when Zhong stepped into the threshold for a long time, it happened that Lu Jing came in a hurry.
When he raised his eyes, he was stunned.
Zhong Chichi smiled slightly, threw the holy decree to the attendants who came with him, and just stood to the side idly.
Lu Jingcong was stunned for only a moment, then cleaned up his expression and bowed down.
It was to be expected that the top three scholars were awarded bachelor's degrees, and the Holy Decree rewarded them with some pen and ink in the study.
After the decree was read, as usual, it was followed by fragrant tea red envelopes and courteous greetings.
Zhong Chi Chi said before Lu Shilang could speak: "I have a few words to say to Master Lu alone!" β
β¦β¦
There was no one left and right, looking at each other, Zhong opened his mouth for a long time, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
When she first met Lu Jingcong, she was only twelve years old, she had just learned to speak, and it was the first time she had contact with people other than Yang Yuemian and Li Changdu.
In front of Lu Jingcong, she has always been clumsy and silent.
Lu Jingcong is not a person of many words, they get along, many times just quietly do their own things, he will occasionally teach her how to sharpen the ink, or how to move the wrist when holding the pen.
But she is no longer the clumsy little girl she used to be.
After a moment of silence, Zhong Chi Chi laughed, and was about to speak, but first heard his gentle and pitiful emotion: "Ah Zhong has grown up, and he almost can't recognize it......"
Zhong Chichi's heart softened, and he said softly: "After a long time, Mr. is still the same." β
He smiled slightly: "Ah Zhong is more beautiful than back then, and his words are much more clever. β
Zhong Chichi lowered his eyes and smiled, brushed the tea foam, and said, "I came to see Mr. today, I have something to askββ"
β¦β¦
After a stick of incense, Zhong left the Lu family for a long time.
The royal carriage drove very smoothly, and Zhong Chi leaned against the wall of the carriage, thinking about the news he had just learned from Lu Jing-
Lu Jingcong said that the Lu family does not have a jade zhang.
He is the only son in the family, if his mother Yuan has a jade zhang in her hand, it is impossible not to leave it to him, he said no, then there is really none.
Since Yuzhang is not in the Lu family, he can only go to the Yuan family in Chenzhou to check again.
Now the whereabouts of the magic weapon, one is in Yongshan, the second is in Tubo, and the third is in Chenzhou-
It seems that it is no longer time to stay in Chang'an......
Zhong Chichi suddenly felt that something was missing from the car, which made her uncomfortable, so she simply sat up straight.
As soon as he sat upright, the carriage stopped.
"Mrs. Zhong, Cui's Mansion has arrived!" The waiter said respectfully outside the car.
The second place in the pavilion selection is Cui Xian.
Although in the second half of the second literary debate, Cui Xian was pressed down by the Guan Xue disciples, but in the third game, Cui Xian still pressed the Guan Xue disciples, and finally Cui Xian was rated second.
Guan Xue's disciple was in third place, presumably Yang Xiang's mood must have been very bad recently.
Cui's mood is not very high, and there is still a sense of depression after Cui Wenji's violent death in the house.
At this hour, most of the men in the Cui Mansion were still in the yamen, and only Cui She, who had recently been suspended, was at home.
After Cui She heard her intentions, Shi Li said: "It just so happened that Uncle Gong went out, please sit in the angel house for a while, and then send the family to find it!" β
After serving tea in the front hall, Cui She also sat with him, and said with a faint smile on his face: "The matter of awarding officials originally belonged to the Ministry of Officials, why did you work for the lady to go on this trip?" β
With such an insincere greeting, Zhong Chi was too lazy to answer, and said directly to the attendant in the entourage: "You go out first, and I will catch up with Cui Jiulang!" β
The chamberlain froze visibly, looked at her with a strange look of persuasion, and saw that she was unmoved, and then left.
There was no one left and right, so Cui She put away the polite smile on his face, smiled at her, and waited for her to speak.
I haven't seen him for a while, he seems to have grown taller, and he has lost a little weight, but his face is still as beautiful as a hibiscus, but he is cold and depressed between his eyebrows, and he is still haunted by Cui Wenji's death.
That must be lingering, otherwise he would not have invited Cui Xian back after losing his position, and there is always a link in the successive traps against Li Yutai.
Zhong Chi Chi saw his shy and bright young man's appearance, and when he saw him at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, and said: "You guys are really amazing, now Your Majesty dislikes Li Yutai for being stupid and refuses to see her, she is not having a good time now, and you can be regarded as avenging Cui Shiniangββ"
His eyes tightened, then he let go, and said with a faint smile: "I haven't taken revenge yet, how can I have a bad life?" β
