Chapter 42 for the better
"No, let's take a few more days off? Anyway, you have good grades, and there are no problems at all in the promotion exam. ”
When Lu Weimang was sick, she said that she wanted to train Lu Qingshan, who made her have no time to think nonsense, but she was reluctant to let her daughter go back to school so soon.
"Girl, let's not learn from those sour Confucians, and follow the rules perfectly. According to your counting grades, is there a difference between going to school more and going to school less for one day? Usually you still shout that there are many school rules and you can't rest, so it's better to take this opportunity to hide at home and rest for a few more days! Butler, you say, right? ”
He saw that he had persuaded himself for a long time, but his daughter's expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't help but call the housekeeper to help him.
The butler stood at the dining table, smiling silently.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade his daughter, the housekeeper was also standing by and watching, Lu Qingshan had no choice, "Then you wear a few more clothes." ”
Cheng Yang smiled when he heard it, but Changfeng laughed without giving any face, "Dad, now the weather, others can't wait to be shirtless, it's good for you to let Sister wear a few more clothes, that stuffy heat stroke." ”
"Phew!" Lu Qingshan hurriedly snorted a few times, "The child speaks smartly, don't talk nonsense." ”
Seeing his father like this, Changfeng also covered his mouth, for fear that he would speak smartly, and his sister would be sick, and his eyes looked at Lu Weimang worriedly.
Cheng Yang couldn't help but look over.
Lu Weimang, who was at the center of the topic, put the last bite of the cream pine stuffed roll cake in his hand, put it in his mouth, wiped his oily fingers and mouth with the handkerchief on the table, and then took a slow sip of tea.
"What are you looking at me for? I'm just sick, so you're all starting to get lazy, aren't you? I should go to the top of the office, I should go to school, and when my entrance exam is over, if you don't have a good rating for me, all the pocket money will be deducted! ”
Seeing that Lu Weimang was as energetic as usual, without the weakness of the previous two days, Lu Qingshan, Lu Chengyang and Lu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Qingshan pulled his daughter's head with his big palm, "Okay, dad works hard to run errands, strives to be promoted to the next level at the end of the year, and gets out of those grass-headed troops, and if there is something at home in the future, I can finally talk up." ”
rubbed the girl's hair, and saw that her extraordinarily neat little bun was a little unkempt, and she flicked her sleeves proudly.
Chengyang also has the same example. In the past year, he has grown a little taller, and he stands up two heads taller than Lu Weimang, and he feels like a good boy. He also learned some dad to rub Sister A's hair, which was thin and soft, which was very different from his own prickly hair, "Sister, I will also study hard, and strive to gain fame as soon as possible in the future, so that you can be at home if you want to, and you don't have to go out to run for the family business." ”
After saying that, he put down his hand and walked outside.
Seeing that the two older men in the family had set an example, Changfeng also tried to stand on tiptoe and patted the small bun on Sister A's head, "Changfeng will also work hard, Sister will wait for me for a few more years." ”
Lu Weimang's face was black as soon as he stretched out his hand from his father, and when Changfeng jumped out at this time, he asked Xiao Xia to bring him a mirror.
Seeing that his unkempt hair that he had finally combed was unkempt and broken, he couldn't help but take two quick steps, walked to the threshold of the main hall, looked at the three people who were walking fast, ran a few steps to chase over, and shouted, "You guys, did you do it on purpose?" My hair, which I had so easily combed, was messed up again. I took a few days off, and I wanted to make a grand appearance in the class this time, but I'm going to ruin you all for me..."
Lu Weimang ran up here to chase the three initiators, and the three of them heard the footsteps and hurriedly walked two steps out of the gate.
Lu Qingshan turned over and got on the horse, and when he saw the girl who ran to the door, he raised his horsewhip proudly, "Girl, don't chase it, your hair will be loose for a while, you don't have time to recomb it, haha." ”
After saying that, he patted the horse and left.
He followed Cheng Yang and Changfeng's carriage, only to see two people lying on the carriage window, lifting the curtain, and looking side by side at Lu Weimang, who chased him to the gate, "Sister, don't you like to grease your hair the most?" Don't thank you for saying that it makes people look like you haven't washed your hair for a few days, and your brother will help you remove the oil. ”
Lu Weimang's face flushed, "Where is the oil?" It's just a broken hair, and I press it with oil. ”
"Sister doesn't need to comb it anymore, it's just right. Here we go..."
"Two stinky boys, they've learned to make fun of me."
Lu Weimang stood at the door, watched the three of them go away, and looked back at Xiao Xia and the housekeeper, "Is it oily?" Okay? ”
Xiao Xia and the housekeeper nodded with a smile.
Her own lady likes to pretend to be mature the most, but her white and tender appearance, black and white eyes, and soft hair that likes to be curled up and when she walks, she thinks of happy things and wants to jump a little, which makes it difficult for her to pretend to be mature and successful. So people who are familiar with it always like to tease Miss intentionally or unintentionally.
Lu Weimang retreated to the gate, picked up the mirror in the housekeeper's hand on the side of the door, looked left and right for a long time, and then returned the mirror to the housekeeper in frustration, "Forget it, I won't be smeared with oil in the future, and I will be awkward myself." ”
After speaking, he took his small basket in Xiao Xia's hand and prepared to go to school. It's too late.
But Lu Weimang didn't know what to think of at this time, she didn't look at her feet, she staggered in the air, she hurriedly took two steps and pretended that nothing happened, looked left and right, and looked back at the housekeeper and Xiao Xia, the two of them had already held back a smile and looked up at the sky.
Lu Weimang touched his hair, a little embarrassed, "I haven't left this threshold for a few days, it seems to be a little higher than I imagined..."
After speaking, he lowered his head, stepped into the carriage, and whispered, "Hurry up!" ”
The carriage began to move, and Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief in the carriage, patting his flushed face when no one was around.
Her perception of herself is that of a majestic patriarch and a confidant big sister. Who knows that it will always collapse, Lu Weimang sighed.
Here, Lu Weimang's carriage went to the Guozi Prison on the west side of the palace, and over there, Huo Jing and his party came out of General Huo's mansion on the west side of the palace.
At this time, it was still early, there were not many pedestrians and carriages on the street, and Lu Weimang's coachman saw General Huo and his party marching from a distance, and turned to another road in advance.
"Lao Zhao, what's wrong?"
Lu Weimang felt that the route didn't seem right, and asked in a loud voice.
"It seems that General Huo is preparing to go out of the city, and it is inconvenient for our carriage to go to the opposite side, so avoid it in advance. Miss rest assured, from Lan Kwai Fong, you can also go to Guozijian. ”
"Hmm."
When Lu Weimang heard General Huo and the others passing, he was patient, and waited for the sound of the horses and horses to gallop quietly, before he lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage, and only saw the backs of the people on horseback.
Over there, Lin Chen's eyes were sharp, and he saw the Lu family mark on the carriage at a glance.
glanced at his master, and whispered to Ding Yi next to him, "It seems to be the Lu family's carriage just now." ”
Ding Yi ignored it.
Lin Chen was helpless, shut his mouth, and the group went straight out of the city.
Outside the city, there is a team of Huo Jing's men, these people are Huo Jing's personal guards, and his henchmen who fight in the north and south. I didn't plan to stay long in Beijing this time, so I asked the guards to camp outside the city.
"The last general, Cao Hui, meet the general."
As soon as they saw Huo Jing come out, the group bowed down to greet them.
"Get up."
"General."
Huo Jing stopped his horse in front of the guards and explained to Cao Hui, the deputy leader of the guards, "Qin Hou has already raised the grain and grass in the early stage, we just need to rush to Tongguan as soon as possible." ”
"But wasn't there an emergency of food and grass in Northern Xinjiang some time ago, so I couldn't meet the enemy and was beaten to the city by Beidi?"
Cao Hui looked like he was in his thirties, and his armor and beard covered his face, but the whole person exuded an unstoppable wind and frost, and at first glance he looked like an old man who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
In fact, he is indeed an old man beside Huo Jing's father, who is following Huo Jing at this time, obeying Huo Jing's orders, and assisting him in leading the troops to fight.
Huo Jing is usually expressionless, and his speech is serious and cold, but he still has a patience and kindness towards his old man, and when he heard General Cao's question, he patiently explained, "Last year, there was indeed an emergency of grain and grass. His Majesty has been exempted from taxation and forced labor for three consecutive years, coupled with the drought in some parts of eastern Hebei last year, as well as the continuous banditry in Jingyang Prefecture, resulting in an empty treasury. Last year, the northern Xinjiang took advantage of the fire to rob, and the imperial court originally wanted to appease one or two, but at the end of last year, the imperial court opened a new salt road, which gave it the confidence to use troops against northern Xinjiang. This time, His Majesty summoned me back, and also asked me to connect with Qin Hou, the plan was settled, and the action was naturally as fast as possible. ”
"Good! The timing was perfect. Of the three months of the year, June, July, and August are the best times to fight against northern Xinjiang. The time and place are on our side, and the young master will definitely be able to fight in the northwest this time! ”
The black cloud-like team is like a sharp arrow heading north, but the team of thousands of people seems to have the momentum of thousands of troops.
Lu Qingshan knew a little about the use of troops by the imperial court, because in the past few days, the Yamen of the Ministry of War has compiled information such as maps of northern Xinjiang and the distribution of forces.
Lu Weimang and Qin Xuan didn't know at all.
One is that the school is heavy. Lu Weimang returned to Guozijian, and he didn't seem to believe in evil in the economic exam, and kept calling Lu Weimang, as if he wanted her to make up for the missing scriptures immediately.
Qin Xuan didn't care too much. His eldest brother and second brother are committed to the court, and he himself has always been lazy. Even if his father asked him to pay attention to the court, he was not interested in this, but he could not be like his eldest brother and second brother, who could see the subtleties through one or two court decrees and gain insight into the recent policy tilt of the imperial court.
He went to school with Lu Weimang every day, and after he broke school, he made an appointment with Lu Weimang or other friends to ride horses, shoot arrows, hunt, etc., and he was very happy.
Qin Hou originally hated that iron could not become steel, and wanted to catch Qin Xuan a lesson, but was stopped by his own lady, "Ah Xuan has lived like this since he was a child, you can't expect him to eat a fat man in one bite." He's still young, and he's a little more playful. When he is older, he will naturally have something serious in his eyes. ”
Qin Xuan didn't know that he had escaped, so he only dragged Lu Weimang, who hadn't come to school for a few days, to see the baby he ordered.
"I ordered it for you. When you are sick this time, I went to see you, and the house was too shabby, so I ordered you some furniture and other things for the girls, and you took them back to use. ”
Lu Weimang had a painful expression, "You don't have to pay for it, although my money is not much now, I still have these small money." ”
Qin Xuan said angrily.
This brother of his own, everything is good, but he is stingy. Spending other people's money is slippery, and spending your own money is like cutting meat.
Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, just don't let yourself pay for it.
