Chapter 920: Someone Is Sour
When Lu Baichuan came back from an errand, he happened to see the old man Lu coming out of the teahouse, so he came back together.
Sun scolded the old man who landed: "You dead old man still know to come back!" What day is it and you don't have points? Why don't you go to the shower and change your clothes, it's hard to let the nobles wait for you! ”
Seeing that after his son came back, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, he should have something to say to his daughter-in-law, Sun's eyes were very strong, and he grabbed the old man and left, leaving space for the two of them.
"What's wrong?"
He Jiuniang also felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that Lu Baichuan should not pass by the teahouse when he came back.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suspect that there may still be people left in the Eastern Court in the Eastern Court, or there are still internal ghosts in the court, and they have been investigating."
Lu Baichuan replied honestly, as soon as he opened his mouth, He Jiuniang understood what he meant.
There are still people in the capital of the Eastern Court, and if the matter of looking for the king is announced now, it will be in vain to hide it for so long.
"I know, you can just watch it, this kind of thing can't be rushed."
Lu Baichuan responded: "Well, by the way, I received a letter from Qin Jian, saying that the mine has been taken, and all the local officials involved in Xunwang have been arrested, and they are on the way back to Beijing at this time, and Chengzhou should be soon." ”
He Jiuniang smiled: "That's good, Brother Qin handled this matter very well, and it was not in vain for us to travel thousands of miles." ”
Qin Jinzhong's words were not ordinary excitement, all kinds of praise for how miraculous his daughter-in-law's medicine was, saved all their lives, and also made their task a lot easier this time.
The most important thing is that all the brothers he brought with him are alive and sound, and they can go with him and come back to Balabala alive.
So, he didn't tell his daughter-in-law.
After a while, the children who were studying also returned, knowing that they were going to a banquet in the evening, and went back to bathe and change their clothes like the wind.
When they were all packed up, the time was just right, and the whole family entered the palace together.
So many things have happened, the status of the Lu family has naturally risen, and some people would have cast disdainful glances before, but now they won't.
Even if you don't take the initiative to say hello, you will smile and signal, full of flattery.
The Lu family never cared about this, what others did to them, they would return it, anyway, they wouldn't suffer a loss, and they wouldn't be too ostentatious.
Zhang Lanxiang and Liu Yuexiang also came this time, and the two of them were still a little unaccustomed, but they felt that it was nothing to follow Lotus all the time, at least they would not come forward to make trouble for them without long eyes.
This Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet was very grand, intended for reunion, so the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother and other palace dependents had to participate, extremely lively, naturally prone to problems, the scene was strictly controlled, and it was never allowed to make any things that could not be put on the table, which disturbed everyone's interest.
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is divided into three stages, first everyone eats and drinks together, chats about family life, so that everyone will not be so restrained, just like in their own home.
Then the emperor and queen led everyone to admire the moon and enjoy the singing and dancing under the stage of the imperial garden.
In the end, the emperor and queen led everyone to worship the moon together, and then they went home to rest.
The most humane point is that on the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, give hundreds of officials a day off, and you don't have to get up early to go to court, and you can also accompany your family well.
The emperor was merciful, and the courtiers followed suit, and everyone was happy.
Before the banquet began, the emperor took the lead in speaking, summing up what had happened in the recent period and the achievements of the court, and praising the officials who had given a lot during this time.
Lu Baichuan was impressively listed, and the reward was soft, and many people were sour.
When the reward is over, the feast begins.
Originally, everyone was enjoying the food in front of them, occasionally boasting about which dish was delicious, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
At this time, there were still people who didn't come back to their senses from the sour water they had just been rewarded, and suddenly said loudly: "General Lu is so good, I think the little boy must not be bad, I heard that the little boy is studying in the Guozi Prison, I wonder if this official can take the school exam?" ”
He smiled brightly, like a very ordinary elder who wants to test the school's children's homework, and it is difficult to refuse.
But He Jiuniang still refused: "Lord Zhang, don't embarrass the child for this holiday, isn't the food in front of you delicious?" ”
Hearing He Jiuniang speak, Zhang Wentao's face instantly became unsightly, he looked down on women in his heart, and felt that women could teach their husbands and children at home, and they didn't need to have too much ability.
It's just that He Jiuniang is an alternative among women, and the limelight even overshadows men, and even when the emperor rewarded him just now, he specially explained that in the reward given to Lu Baichuan, there was also a share of He Jiuniang.
It's just a woman, why!
However, he also knew He Jiuniang's status in the emperor's heart, so naturally he would not be offended openly.
He quickly adjusted his expression and said: "Mrs. Lu said that he laughed, the little boy has excellent grades, so he is naturally not afraid of the school examination, besides, courage is to be practiced from a young age, today is just an opportunity, Mrs. Lu should not be disappointed." ”
said that she was disappointed, He Jiuniang was instantly unhappy, and was about to go back, Lu Baichuan said: "My family never asks how good the child is, let alone the child to show himself in front of so many people." Today's festival is celebrated, the whole country celebrates, why should Mr. Zhang embarrass a child? ”
It is easy for people to misunderstand what they said, thinking that the dog may really be a scumbag, and the rumors they heard before were all deliberately made up by the Lu family.
"Hahaha, General Lu is angry? Oops, this official doesn't mean anything else, he just thinks that the child is the future and hope of the country, and he just wants to take the test to see how the little boy's homework is, since General Lu is so unhappy, then forget it, forget it-"
He deliberately dragged the tail note very hard, and snorted coldly, looking down on people.
Then, as if he was deliberately trying to show off, he called his son up and took the school examination in public.
His sons are almost twenty years old, and they are still a little literate, but they probably didn't expect their father to take the school exam in public, so he was very nervous and stumbled a little when he spoke.
But fortunately, nothing was wrong, and the answer was decent.
Although his behavior was very annoying, there were still people who cheered him, so several teenagers were called up to answer questions.
Coincidentally, the teenagers who answered by name were usually quite good in their homework, obviously Zhang Wentao still gave everyone face, the questions asked were not difficult, and he didn't want to offend too many people.
After all, his target is the next one, and that is the kid of the Lu family.
The Lu family is too popular, and they must find someone to vent, otherwise he won't be able to sleep tonight.
After taking the school exam, he praised them one by one, and the atmosphere began to be harmonious again.
At this time, someone who had a lot of things to do spoke: "General Lu, Master Zhang has no malicious intentions, it's just the homework of the children in the school, so you don't have to be nervous anymore." ”
