After Lu Ming left the Academy, he first went to the stall for dinner, and then went to rent a carriage and set off to rush back to Jiang County, Shaoming Prefecture. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jingzhou and Suzhou are Linzhou, not very far, with the speed of the carriage, can be reached in one night.

Lu Ming sat in the carriage, took out the official seal and entered the Jingzhou Wenbang of Liang State, and visited many interesting things.

Most of the posts on the Jingzhou literary list are about the Wendou Conference, and the people of Changguo and Liang Guo post with each other, filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

In addition, there are also some posts criticizing Lu Ming, saying that Lu Ming does not dare to participate in the Wendou Conference, he is as timid as a mouse, he has a false reputation, and his speech is very ugly.

Lu Ming felt extremely helpless about this, and did not respond to this, allowing them to insult him.

The time of the night passed quickly.

The carriage stopped in front of Lu Mansion in Jiang County, and Lu Ming got out of the carriage and returned home.

"Ahem......"

As soon as Lu Ming opened the door, he was choked by the smoke and dust all over the room, his eyes swept over the dilapidated house, and he shook his head helplessly, "This house should be demolished and rebuilt, but now, we have to clean it first." ”

Thinking of this, Lu Ming took a broom and began to clean the house.

"Excuse me, is Lu Ming back?", a voice suddenly sounded.

Lu Ming looked at the door and saw a young man in cloth walking into the small courtyard, and when he saw the person clearly, his face suddenly turned happy: "Chen Jun, long time no see!"

"Lu Ming, it's really you, you're back!"

Chen Jun was overjoyed, hurriedly ran over, and gave Lu Ming a big hug.

"Good brother, I knew you would come back!"

"Jun Chen, I haven't seen you for a few months, you look much thinner. Lu Ming said with a smile.

"It's not because of you, I heard some time ago that you killed demons with the Suzhou army, which made several of our friends almost worried to death, why are you so impulsive!", Chen Jun said and punched Lu Ming lightly in the shoulder.

"Haven't I come back? Don't worry, Senior Yang takes good care of me in the barracks and won't let me do anything dangerous. ”

"I know, we've all heard about you. ”

Chen Jun said excitedly: "You served as a staff officer in the army, made two strong bow battle poems, and a song "Triumphant Song" spread to the world, and after returning to Beijing, he was promoted to major general, and at the same time won this year's top Maocai, Lu Ming, it has only been a few months of hard work, you have such an achievement, it is really unprecedented, and there is no one in the future!"

"I won the award, this is all the credit of going north to kill demons, and I also got the personal guidance of Scholar Yang, and I have made great progress, so I was able to get lucky to win Maocai. ”

"You actually got the guidance of a scholar from Zhenzhou University?"

Chen Jun suddenly showed envy, and then said: "You guy is quite lucky, you have spread such a big good thing, it really makes my brother and I envious, you will definitely be prosperous in the future, and you will have no worries about food and clothing, but I have already given up studying." ”

"What?Chen Jun, aren't you going to continue to gain fame?", Lu Ming asked.

"Forget it, reading is really not for me, but my father has been doing a good business recently, and he has already set up a shop in Shaoming Mansion, let me take care of it myself, and I will be the owner of Chen in the future." ”

After Chen Jun finished speaking, he raised his head slightly, revealing a little smugness.

"Can you take care of it yourself?", Lu Ming asked.

"You dare to underestimate me?"

Chen Jun said disapprehantly: "Let me tell you, my father's biggest business was negotiated by me, and now that boss only agrees with me, I am naturally recommended as the owner." ”

Lu Ming laughed and said: "You have liked to be clever since you were a child, and it is no better to mix in the business field. ”

"You just came back, the room looks dirty, I'll clean it up for you." ”

"Okay, thank you then. ”

The two of them cleaned the house together, and at the same time talked about a lot of things, and laughed from time to time.

After cleaning up, Lu Ming invited Chen Jun to sit in the living room and continue to talk and laugh.

After some exchanges, Lu Ming also knew some other things.

Since Han Xianling took office, the living standards of the people of Jiang County have been greatly improved, and industry and economy have also developed.

After Lu Ming's literary name gradually spread, Yan Weiqing went to the Yan family in Jingzhou City to study, and returned to Shaoming Mansion a few days ago to participate in the government examination, and also won the title of the gold list in one fell swoop.

Lin Xiaoyan has been worried about Lu Ming since he learned that he was going to kill the demon, and he didn't think about it for a while, until Han Xianling told her that Lu Ming didn't need to be a pioneer as a staff officer in the army, and he was much more relieved.

As soon as Lin Xiaoyan was mentioned, Lu Ming's face changed slightly, and then he said to Chen Jun: "I returned to Jiang County this time to come for Lin Xiaoyan, and I swore with Yan Weiqing that whoever can compete for this year's Maocai, then Uncle Lin will agree to anyone's marriage." ”

"Haha, then I have to congratulate you first, Lin Xiaoyan has already married you, and the two of you are the right family, which is very suitable. Chen Jun said with a smile.

"Don't be in a hurry to congratulate you, although I have become the first famous Maocai, but at the same time, I have also offended many officials in the court, so I don't plan to get married for the time being. ”

"Oh, yes? That's a bit tricky......

Chen Jun thought about it and said: "If you say it to Uncle Lin like this, in case Uncle Lin mistakenly thinks that you are now successful and you don't look down on their family, then with Lin Xiaoyan's stubborn character, he will definitely fall out with you." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, that's just your guess, Uncle Lin is above board, it is impossible for him to have such an idea,"

"Then what are you waiting for? Since you have come back and cleaned the house, you should visit your uncle as soon as possible, so that Xiao Yan can rest assured. Chen Jun said.

Lu Ming nodded and said, "You're right, then I'll go visit Uncle Lin now." ”

"I'll go with you. ”

"No, it's my business, it's not appropriate for you to go. ”

"That's right. ”

Chen Jun smiled awkwardly and continued: "It's not too early, I should go back and prepare, and tomorrow I will leave for Shaoming Mansion." ”

"If you don't mind, can you let me go with you too?" I also want to go back to the Academy of Literature in Shaoming Mansion to study. ”

"Of course, but you've just come back, aren't you going to stay longer?"

"I have set a goal, I want to pass the four imperial examinations as soon as possible to become Hanlin, and when I settle down, I will marry Xiaoyan. Lu Ming said.

Chen Jun said admiringly: "If you have ambition, then let's just make up our minds, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

"Good. ”

Lu Ming immediately got up to see Chen Jun away, then closed the door and walked all the way to the street.

The streets are full of people, as lively as ever, and readers like to get together in groups to communicate and hold cultural activities, so the readers in this world are basically very studious.

The bigger the name, the more friends you have, if you are not educated, others will not only not befriend you, but will also dislike you.

Lu Ming passed by Zhu Ji Restaurant and found that the business of this restaurant had become extremely bleak, and the shopkeeper Zhu sat on the stone steps in front of the restaurant and sighed.

"If this continues, don't even think about opening this restaurant anymore, hey...... knew that Lu Ming's part-time salary should not have been deducted in the first place. ”

"Okay now, Chen Jun let everyone know about it, and the people in the county don't come to my house for business, hey...... Why am I so unlucky......"

"Shopkeeper Zhu, don't be in a daze all day long, let's change careers and do something else!", a reader laughed.

"Go, go, don't disturb my thinking!", Shopkeeper Zhu snorted coldly.

"Hey...... Shopkeeper Zhu, you can't be blamed for this, who made you so stingy? It's normal to have no business. ”

After the man finished speaking, he left gloating, so angry that the shopkeeper Zhu gritted his teeth.

"Phew! ", shopkeeper Zhu scolded.

Seeing this, Lu Ming showed a helpless expression, waved his sleeves, and turned to leave.

After arriving at the Lin Mansion, Lu Ming knocked on the door.

"Squeak", the door was opened, and a girl walked out, looked up at Lu Ming, and was immediately stunned for a while.

"Are you...... Lu Ming?"

"Long time no see, little goose, how are you doing?" Lu Ming said with a smile.

"Lu Ming!"

Lin Xiaoyan threw herself directly into Lu Ming's arms, tears flowed uncontrollably, "Do you know, I heard that you are going to join the army to kill demons, how worried I am about you?"

"I'm sorry to worry you. ”

Lu Ming patted Lin Xiaoyan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, aren't I doing well?" By the way, I have good news to tell you, I have passed the first famous Maocai examination, and I can let my uncle fulfill the marriage contract between us. ”

"You ......"

Lin Xiaoyan suddenly had a slightly angry face, and said coquettishly: "Who wants to marry you guy, don't think about it!"

"But we ...... it"

"But then again, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, you went to the army to kill demons, and you didn't reply to a letter of peace, so I was worried about you alone......"

When Lin Xiaoyan said this, a flush appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry, I won't be like this in the future. ”

Lu Ming hugged Lin Xiaoyan into his arms and said, "I won't let you worry about me anymore." ”

"Really?"

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at Lu Ming, and finally showed a smile, "Then you have to talk." ”

"Good. ”

Lu Ming agreed, and at the same time let go of his arm, and asked, "Is Uncle Lin at home?"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded and said, "I'll take you to the living room to wait first." ”

As he spoke, he led Lu Ming to the living room and sat down, and then went to call Lin Donghai.

After a while, Lin Donghai came to the living room and said with a smile: "Lu Zhenguo is here, and Lin is not welcome." ”

Lu Ming got up and said, "Don't dare to be, you and my father are friends for eight years, and in my nephew's heart, you have always been my uncle." ”

"But I didn't speak. (To be continued.) )
