The next day, I ate the breakfast that Lu personally made for the three siblings. Yi Yu proposed to go to the hawthorn forest to go shopping, and the family of four went out early, leaving Xiaoman and Chen Qu to clean up the tables and dishes.

Although it was summer, the air in the gate was already cool, especially in the morning when the sun was rising, Yi Yu still felt the cool air rushing to his body when he put on a gauze coat, but when he walked all the way to the bottom of the mountain, his forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and the gauze had already been taken off and held by Lu Jun.

Uncle Xiaoman, who was guarding the forest, was wandering at the edge of the forest, and when he saw the Lu family from a distance, he hurriedly limped up to greet him, "Madam, why did you come up today?" ”

Lu Shi smiled and said: "It's not that a few children are back, I'll take them up to take a look, you are busy with your go." After saying that, they took the remnants and walked towards the forest.

The hawthorn saplings planted last year have grown a lot, and Lu took them to walk around the forest, and Yu Yu found an excuse and ran to the other end, and saw that Lu's figure was far away, so he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms. He shook the liquid inside, unplugged it, turned his back to Lu and them, and dripped two drops from the roots of the hawthorn trees that had not yet grown in the opposite direction to Lu and them.

Carefully put away the porcelain vase, and just turned around, he was facing Lu Zhiyi's slightly puzzled eyes, "What are you doing?" ”

Yi Yu sighed in his heart, but still replied calmly: "No, I think this red claw is growing very well, and I am afraid it will be able to bear fruit next year." ”

Lu Zhi nodded, Yi Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he hadn't seen his small movements just now, so he asked again: "By the way, big brother, is His Royal Highness King Wei going to hold a banquet in the near future?" ”

Lu Zhi frowned slightly, "Where did you hear that?" ”

Yi Yu pouted secretly, naturally he couldn't tell him that he heard it from a "bee", "I heard someone talk about it in my school. ”

"Well, there is such a thing." Lu Zhi saw Yi Yu's puzzled eyes, so he explained the banquet to her.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet of the King of Wei, on August 15, recruits talented and talented people, admires the moon and attracts nostalgia, it is a banquet that the students in the Guozi Prison and even the literati and scholars of Chang'an City have been rushing to in the past two years.

"Big brother got the post?" After hearing the words of the night banquet of King Wei, Yi Yu's heart jumped, and she suddenly remembered something that she had been pressing.

Lu Zhi nodded. "I received it a few days ago."

Yi Yu hesitated for a while, thinking that it was better to ask clearly, "Big brother, at that time in Xingyuan, you didn't let me ask, so I pressed it for the time being, but now I want to ask you, I hope you can tell me the truth." ”

Lu Zhi turned around and said in a deep voice, "You ask." ”

"Are you the person of King Wei now, King Wei, he intends to take the throne, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhi turned around suddenly, Yi Yu had never seen him look at himself with such sharp eyes, he was shocked, and heard him whisper: "This kind of thing, don't mention it again in the future, you know?" ”

Seeing Yi Yu nodding, his expression was relieved, and he continued: "I will only answer you once, I am not a person from King Wei, I am now a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and I will be an official in the future." is also an official of the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Yi Yu exhaled lightly, she couldn't blame her for thinking too much, although everyone knew that the bachelors recruited by the Literature Museum under the Wei Palace's palace were not only the people of King Wei, but she was still worried that Lu Zhi would be involved in the matter of seizing the heir in the future, and now the successor to the throne above the court is the most popular among the three people, one is Li Chengqian, the eldest son of the current emperor, one is Li Ke, the son of Concubine Yang, King Wu Ke, and finally Li Tai, the king of Wei, who is quite favored.

Although Li Chengqian's name is justified, he is arrogant and extravagant, and his reputation is not prosperous, although Li Ke has a very high reputation among the people, but he is not liked by the emperor, and the king of Wei is the most simple, although he is favored, but he has no maternal support.

The three parties have their own strengths and weaknesses, although the crown prince has been established, but the attitude of the emperor today is very vague, many officials in the DPRK and China have begun to secretly take refuge in the three parties, on the surface these three people have opportunities, but the jade of history is clear, these three people to the end, no play.

Although there have been some deviations in the history of this world, as far as she knows, the general direction has not changed, as if there is a push hand in the dark, no matter how changeable the process is, at a certain time, it will always be corrected back.

She didn't want Lu Zhi to get involved in this partisan struggle at all, but his ambition was beyond her control, and fortunately he didn't stand in line at this moment. Neutrality, nature is the best.

Lu Zhi looked at the thoughtful Yiyu, sighed silently, and looked sideways at Lian Biqing Mountain in the distance, the look in his eyes was even more determined.

***

After lunch at home, Yi Yu squatted on the edge of the flower bed in the backyard and fiddled with her flowers and plants, and was almost discovered by Lu Zhi in the hawthorn forest in the morning Her small movements, at this time she didn't dare to "do something" under everyone's noses, just checked the growth of those strawberries, thinking that the next time they would bear fruit, they would pick some and bring them to Dr. Jin, the old man still took good care of himself.

"Madame, Madame told you to come in." Chen Qu's voice came from behind, and Yi Yu let go of the strawberry leaves in her hand, got up and patted her clothes, and went back to the house with her.

Lu Shi was chatting with Lu Zhi in the living room, and when he saw her come in, he beckoned her to sit beside him, with a slight complaint on his face, "I haven't seen you for ten days and half a month, and I don't know how to talk to my mother when I come back." ”

Seeing that Yi Yu's eyes were apologetic, Fang Cai said again: "I heard your eldest brother say just now that there is a bamboo forest behind your house in the dormitory, do you like it very much?" ”

"Well, it's pretty cool to watch."

Lu nodded. "Bamboo is good, if you like it, in the future, we will save more money, and we will sell the house we live in now, and then change to a big one, and plant a piece for you, okay?"

Yi Yu's heart warmed, but he smiled on his face: "That's the best, in the future, the eldest brother and the second brother marry a daughter-in-law, don't want us to be the two of us, then buy a big house, and I will live with my mother." ”

Lu Zhi's hand holding the teacup paused slightly. I heard Lu Shi laugh and scold Yu twice, and then turned his head to him and said: "Zhi'er, you are not young, after the graduation exam in school next year, you should find a daughter-in-law to do an errand, I don't know if you like it now?" ”

Yi Yu caught the corners of Lu Zhi's stiff lips in an instant, lowered his head to hide his smile, and heard him answer lightly: "Mother, you don't have to worry about me, but the second brother has a temperament, he should start a family earlier, and he will be much more stable in the future." ”

Lu Shi heard what he said very reasonable, and his eyes showed his approval, "Your second brother is more lively, and he may become a family, so it will be better." After saying that, there was a contemplative look on his face.

Lu Zhi raised his eyes to look at Yi Yu, with a faint threatening look in his eyes, and Yu Yu was hesitating whether to argue for Lu Jun, who was not present, when he received her eldest brother's eyes, he immediately closed his mouth.

"It's just that your second brother is in school with you all day long, and he can't see any girls, so it's better to let him stay this time, there are many girls of his age in this town, and after a long time, there are always people who look at them."

Lu Zhi nodded and responded: "Wait for him to come back, and my mother will talk to him." ”

Yi Yu watched him sell Lu Jun in a few words, and there was inevitably a burst of sympathy in his heart, but next month, the shopkeeper of the silk Zhuangzi was afraid that he would go to the school to find them, and it would be better to leave Lu Jun, who liked to run around, at home.

***

In the evening, the family walked to the alley of Longquan Town, and Lu Shi pulled the Yu for a while before letting people get into the car, and the Yu looked at the reluctant Lu Shi, and glanced at the listless Lu Jun with a little amusement, and took Lu Zhi's arm and boarded the carriage.

All the way to Wubenfang, it was already dark. Four lanterns were hung high at the back door of the school dormitory, and Lu Zhi added one or two more silver to the fare to the horseman, carried Lu Shi to pack two bags for them, and sent the remaining jade to the gate of Kun Yuan, before handing one of them to Chen Qu.

"Rest early, get up early tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the Hongwen intersection, and someone will go to post the list at the time, so it's good to take a look."

Although this ten-year examination is not as important as the annual examination, but as a new student, if the academic evaluation of this ten-year examination is high, it will also be looked up to a few points, relatively speaking, if the academic evaluation is low, it will be coldly looked down upon, Guozijian is a very realistic place, if you have no status, you can't even learn talent, it will be shameful.

On the second day, Yu Yu got up a quarter of an hour earlier than usual, washed carefully and changed into a light and thin regular clothes, and still let Chen Qu comb his hair in the style of last month, and then went out after breakfast.

Although I went out early, I saw a few people along the way, and most of the students who looked at the list went out at this time, and when I arrived at Hongwen Road, I saw that there were two lists of one big and one small red and white posted on the wall at the intersection, one was full of names, but there were few on it.

There were twenty or thirty students standing under the list, wearing the regular clothes of each college, which was more crowded, and the relics looked left and right, and saw Lu Zhi holding a scroll on the side of the monument, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Big brother."

When Lu Zhi saw her coming, he closed the book and pointed to the people standing under the wall of the list, "These are all students from various colleges who come to see the list, and they only remember that the academic evaluation is A's and go back to pass it on, and you will go to see it when they disperse, if you get A, after the morning class, someone may go to look for you." ”

Yi Yu raised his eyebrows, "Looking for me?" ”

Lu Zhi nodded, "It's not Princess Chengyang's person, or Miss Eldest Sun's person, how you want to do it all depends on your own wishes." ”

Yi Yu's mind turned, and there was a bit of depression on his face, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Lu Zhi didn't answer, only patted her head, and went towards the academy with his backhand, Yi Yu looked at his back and gritted his teeth, turned around and looked at the list not far away, calculating the possibility that her academic evaluation was not A, but the conclusion made her face very ugly, the princess and the eldest lady, she really didn't want to mess with any of them.

It didn't take long for only three or five people to be left on the list, and Yi Yu sighed lightly and walked over. (！ )
