As soon as the sky was dark, the subordinates in the Guogong Mansion were busy in the huge mansion as usual, and the waiting masters stood outside the doors of the bedrooms in each courtyard and shouted, and the rough ones all took their own things to chop wood and fetch water in and outside the house, wipe the table and sweep the floor.

Everything went in order, until the masters had all used up early, and those who should have gone to the morning and gone to school had taken the carriage, so that they could have a little leisure, gather together, and whisper some gossip.

The big kitchen is a good place where the maids often gather to talk, some come to serve supplements, some come to find some good materials for the masters to eat, and three or two people happen to meet in one place, there is a conversation, there will be a stubble.

"It smells so good, huh? Sister Evian, the eldest lady is drinking four ginseng gentleman's soup today? A pink-clad maid approached the stove, sniffed the warm soup on the fire, and asked the older maid who was standing by.

The maid named Evian tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "It's not for our wife to drink, it's for the second lady." ”

"For the second miss? Then how can you let your sister stew, she didn't have a call in her yard? ”

"Huh, who made the master in Xiang Li Courtyard expensive now, and the old man is too spoiled." The green-clothed maid who was eating a snack on the side of the stove brazier interjected.

"Yilu, don't talk nonsense," Evian scolded lightly and said: "The old lady specially instructed our wife, so let me do it, those of us who are subordinates, wait for a good master, that is our duty, the second lady is the concubine in the house, how can I be lazy." ”

Yilu put the snack plate on the side, picked her eyes, and said:

"Why can't I say it, sister, you didn't eat much in the morning, so you kept this small jar of soup. Our eldest lady is the daughter of the family, what kind of concubine is she, in the final analysis, she is just a branch of the door, and she has paid good luck to climb our Guogong Mansion, that is, Sister Evian, you are diligent, this job has to be given to me, I am too lazy to do it, hum! ”

Evian smiled reluctantly, glared at her, and said, "I know that you are the most splashy, even Madame can't control you, so eat your snacks." ”

These two people are waiting in front of the eldest lady Zhao, the relationship is close, there are three, six, nine and other people in the house, like them walk in the house on weekdays, and when they see it, they also want to call my sister to say hello, the days are long, no matter whether the horizon is far away, these eyes have grown taller. Looking at the mother and son of the Lu family who came back halfway, most of them had the same thoughts as Yilu said.

At this moment, the other servants in the large kitchen listened to their words, and exchanged glances, and even exchanged ears.

Lu Shuqing stood outside the kitchen door with her bookbag, listened to the conversation inside, the corners of her mouth pulled slightly, turned her head and walked back to the gate, lifted the curtain and got into the car, sat down opposite Lu Zhi, who was flipping through the book, and said:

"Yesterday, the cook made a new snack, which was supposed to be brought to the eldest brother to taste, but the next person forgot to prepare, and I will send it to your yard at noon."

"Well," Lu Zhi nodded, knocked on the wall of the car to signal that the coachman could go, Lu Shuqing saw that the Yu Yu had not come yet, so he asked:

"Huh? Second sister she? ”

"She's not getting better."

Yesterday morning, the case of Dali Temple fell, today is thirty, and the school is a ten-day holiday, only the students who may be selected to participate in the revision of "Kun Yuanlu" need to go to school, because of the previous case, Yu Yu and Lu Zhi have not been present for three days, seeing that the candidates will be decided this afternoon, it is impossible for the brothers and sisters to occupy that place, it doesn't matter if they go or not, Lu Zhi just went through the motions this morning.

Lu Shuqing nodded clearly, waited for the carriage to turn around at the corner of the street, and said to himself: "As of yesterday afternoon, there were still fourteen people, except for the four in the Literature Museum, the rest were the people from our country's eunuch, by the way, in the past few days, His Royal Highness King Wei has not come once." ”

Lu Zhi looked at the book and said, "When the candidates are announced today, they should go." ”

"I know, ah, by the way, the second sister is very familiar with His Royal Highness King Wei, when I saw her help His Royal Highness explain to the third eldest grandson, I was really shocked, I heard that at a banquet, King Wei praised her calligraphy in front of everyone, is it true?"

Lu Zhi closed the book, looked at her, did not answer, but asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Lu Shuqing's expression was stunned, and he said, "I'm just chatting with you." ”

"Lu Shuqing," the corners of Lu Zhi's lips hooked slightly, "I remember telling you, don't play tricks in front of me." ”

Lu Shuqing was silent, remembering that before the start of the art competition in the Fifth Academy, he said a few words to Yiyu in Xuanlou, and was warned by Lu Zhi, his eyes darkened, and he said:

"You misunderstood, I just want to know more about you, I've been a person since I was a child, I'm very envious of your brother and sister, I want to be close, and I don't know what to do, so I have more mouths, if the eldest brother is unhappy, I won't ask anymore."

She is a delicate girl, and such a supple appearance makes people feel soft-hearted, but Lu Zhi chuckled unceremoniously after her words fell.

"Hehe..."

"What are you laughing at, big brother?"

Lu Zhi opened the book again and replied, "Someone is pretending to be a fool to tease me, why don't you laugh." ”

"......" Lu Shuqing's face stiffened, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth.

Not to mention Lu Shuqing, who had a different mind in this carriage, and Lu Zhi, who was too lazy to know what the hell she was doing, and Yu Yu, who was "not well yet", was sitting in the small study of the east house practicing calligraphy at this moment.

The smooth pineapple wood bookcase, the four treasures of the study are all of the highest quality, only the brush in her hand is an old thing that she is used to.

Pinghui, who was dressed in light green and had a double bun on her hair, stood on the corner of the table and studied ink, while Pingtong, who was dressed in light red, knelt on the side of the tea table opposite, skillfully boiling the new tea sent by the housekeeper yesterday.

The faint and fresh aroma of tea wafted into the nose, Yi Yu's wrist was flexibly hooked, and his eyes fell between black and white, as if he hadn't written so carefully for a long time, and once he sank in, he still didn't know the time.

When Lu Zhongzhi walked in on crutches, what he saw was her preoccupied state, her eyes flowed with appreciation, waved her hand to stop Pingtong Pinghui's greetings, walked to the table, looked at the beautiful fonts on the paper under her pen, and when she put the pen away, she praised:

"That's a good word!"

"Grandfather." Yi Yu handed the brush to Pinghui to wash, and got up and saluted in a proper manner.

"This is the 'Ying Body' that you figured out yourself?" Although the old man of the Fifth Academy did not go, he also inquired clearly.

"Yes," Yi Yu saw that he looked interested, and had the heart to chat with him a few more words, so he explained: "The regular font is more square, Xiao Yu liked to write small characters when she was a child, but she felt that the body was not very good-looking, and the words of my daughter's family wanted to be square and square, but they must be dull, so I gradually figured out such a mellow one, which made my grandfather smile." ”

Lu Zhongzhi squinted and smiled, and said unceremoniously: "You don't have to be modest, my descendants of Lu should be so smart." ”

Seeing the smugness on his face, Yi Yu couldn't help but laugh, at this time the tea was ready, she took it from Ping Tong's hand, gave him a cup with her own hands, and asked:

"You've come to me, but you have something to explain?"

"There's something to say," Lu Zhongzhi waved at Pingtong and Pinghui, "you go down first." When there were only two grandchildren left in the house, Old Man Lu coughed lightly and got down to business:

"Yu'er, grandfather asked you, does your eldest brother have a favorite young lady?"

Yi Yu was a little surprised by his question, touched his earlobe, and said helplessly: "This kid doesn't know." ”

Old Man Lu frowned, "Then which young lady does he usually get close to, do you know?" ”

"Uhh

"What, it's hard to talk to my grandfather?" Roh Chung-sik glared.

"No, the kid isn't counting it in his heart." Yi Yu raised his head and said with a smile.

Listening to this posture, there are still a lot of people? Old Man Lu was happy, stroked his beard, and said, "You think slowly, don't worry." ”

"Hmm......" Yi Yu secretly laughed, pretending to think for a while, before he cleared his throat in his expectant gaze, stretched out his hand, and said a few words one by one:

"Miss Zhang and Miss Zheng from the Book Academy, Miss Liu and Miss Wang from the Academy of Mathematics, Miss Du and Miss Song from the Tai Academy...... Ah, and Miss Huang from the Law School," said more than a dozen in one breath, looking at the pair of tiger eyes under Old Man Lu's white eyebrows that were staring at him in surprise, Yi Yu smiled and added:

"These young ladies, he doesn't know any of them!"

"Huh?" After Lu Zhongzhi was stunned for a moment, he realized that he was shaken by her, his brows frowned and then let go, his white beard trembled slightly, first laughed lightly, and after a few times, it turned into a loud laugh.

"Hahaha, you kid, you are so bold that you dare to trick the old man to play!"

Yi Yu leaned on the table with his chin in his hand, seeing that the old man's eyebrows and eyes melted with a smile, and his eyes were bent, he stuck out his tongue at him, and said:

"Grandfather, do you want to help my eldest brother say goodbye?"

Lu Zhongzhi laughed for a while before stopping, and said, "Well, Zhi'er is going to participate in the imperial examination next year, and it's better to book this family matter in advance." ”

Although I have long heard the Lu family often nagging about Lu Zhi's marriage in her ears, but now that I heard the old man Lu say this, the widow has a sense of reality, Lu Zhi has reached the age of starting a family, she was in a trance, and asked puzzledly:

"Why is the imperial examination coming, so you have to get married in advance, does it matter?"

As soon as she finished asking, she saw the hesitation on Old Man Lu's face, and hurriedly said, "I just asked casually, if it's inconvenient to talk about it, forget it." ”

"It's not that I can't talk about it, the old man just remembered it, and he didn't have time to tell your eldest brother yet," Lu Zhongzhi sighed lightly, "Well, in the Shi clan, you have to be clear about these things sooner or later, and my grandfather will talk to you about it first, so that you can have a number in your heart." ”
