Chapter 50 Cooperation

"Sister, this time I heard that someone said that the queen let women also participate in the hero festival competition, so this time the female students of Guozijian also organized four competitions of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, did Sister Ah receive a notice to participate in the competition? I heard that because this is the first time to hold a women's competition, the queen is worried that the number of people who sign up for the competition is too small, so she asks each female student of Guozijian to apply for at least one item. ”

On the way to Jingshan, the Lu family rode a horse, and the housekeeper rode in the carriage behind, carrying the necessary tents, changing clothes and other necessities. Each of these things is the experience of the Lu family from participating in the Heroes Festival over the years, such as waterproof boots, robes, and a full set of dressing boxes.

Lu Weimang shook his head, "No one informed me. I'm not from a girls' school, so I shouldn't have to participate in those competitions... Right? ”

The atmosphere of this era is more open and civilized than Lu Weimang thought. I heard that the doctors of the Imperial Observatory, as long as they hold the emperor's pigtails, they can read in front of the emperor for a whole day, until the emperor deeply realizes his mistake, and this matter will not pass.

And the Queen. I heard that the emperor and queen are young couples, when they were young, the queen was still pursued by the emperor with all his strength, so the emperor and queen have a very good relationship, except for a few furnishing concubines, in the harem, it is the queen's world. The queen quarreled with the emperor one day and even started to do it. I heard that in those days, when the emperor went to court, he had people hang bead curtains in front of the dragon chair to cover the nail scratches on his face.

Of course, privilege is the foundation of this era.

For example, the emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Jiazhen, because of her bad temper, killed a servant girl, and after being nagged by the imperial doctor in front of the emperor for a day, His Majesty the emperor punished the princess with half of the food? Then the Imperial Doctor was very satisfied with Mingjin and praised the emperor's wisdom.

In the concept of many people, the privileges such as power and status brought by different statuses are natural and natural.

After more than ten years of conquest, the emperor conquered the world, and this world is his family. The people of the world are also the emperor's.

This is the cognition of the emperor, the cognition of hundreds of officials, and even the people of the world.

After the hundred officials go through the front to kill the enemy, or recommend them as officials, to benefit the locality, then they are born with a higher status than the common people, and always have class privileges.

This is also a matter of course.

Only then did Lu Weimang know that in this society, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and filial piety are not just talking. It is the criterion for the emperor to rule society, and everyone must abide by it, and the emperor is no exception. If there were no such constraints, wouldn't the royal family do whatever they wanted?

The law binds the people, and morality binds privileges, including royalty and dignitaries.

Lu Weimang lives in this era, feeling comfortable and cold at the same time. Because she has a high status, but not particularly high. So she was a little bit on thin ice in her heart.

Fortunately, although the emperor did not have much contact, the officials and the people said that the emperor was kind and kind. Although the queen has not had much contact, she is open-minded and good at admonishing.

For example, this Hero Festival Women's Competition. Although Lu Weimang didn't want to participate, but just the students gave advice, and the queen agreed with kindness, which made Lu Weimang's respect for the queen more in his heart.

Coming to the foot of Jingshan, Lu Weimang, Father Lu, and Chengyang Changfeng housekeeper set up a tent together.

From time to time, there were nobles around him who looked at the Lu family with strange eyes, and even those slaves who were setting up tents like the Lu family were surprised at first to look at the nobles who were dressed in gorgeous clothes but doing these rough work.

But the Lu family didn't care. Subtly, the Lu family was deeply influenced by Lu Weimang, and some things could be done by others, and they could also do it themselves. It's not to show anything, it's because Lu Weimang likes to do something interesting by himself.

The annual tent setting up is an interesting thing in Lu Weimang's eyes, why did she give this opportunity to her subordinates to do, just for the so-called "decency" of nobles?

"One of them grabbed a horn and pressed together. Daddy, you're holding up in the middle, we're going to have to push hard. ”

Lu Weimang held a corner of the tent in his hand and commanded everyone.

"Got it, I'm carrying it here, you guys hurry up!"

Daddy Lu was in the center of the tent, trying to hold on to the column supporting the tent, and shouted.

"Okay, here we go. One, two, three! ”

The five of them worked together, and with the middle column of Daddy Lu in place, Lu Weimang and the other four people, the four corners of the tent were also in place. One man took a hammer and a stick from the ground and began to nail it into the ground.

There is great strength in numbers, and watching a triangular tent being set up, everyone has a sense of accomplishment on their faces.

"Sensationalism!"

When I'm happy, someone comes to spoil the fun.

A group of girls in gorgeous costumes walked over and said in a voice that everyone could hear.

"Yes. If you want to appear happy with the people and approachable, you should also do enough tricks, change into coarse cloth clothes, and do these rough jobs. Wearing a full suit of silk and satin to do these jobs is too wasteful and extravagant. ”

Lu Weimang and the others listened, looked at the clothes on their bodies, and scratched their heads a little.

"Housekeeper, do we have the right clothes?"

Steward Lu thought for a while, "There are not many people in our family, but the guard's clothes are okay." But nothing else. Miss, do you want to buy some now? ”

"Forget it, the clothes are already wrinkled, so I don't care. Quickly put up the rest of the tents, change your clothes in a while, and go out for a while. ”

"Hey!"

The housekeeper agreed, and the group walked over to another tent material to set up a tent.

Lu Weimang has earned a lot of money over the years, and his living standard does not dare to say that he has the delicacy of a generation of high-ranking people, but the name of a local tyrant is inevitable. Especially the housekeeper Lu, who may have been very poor a few years ago, so he doesn't seek the best in everything, but the most expensive.

The sunshine in May is warm but not hot, and everyone is in full swing, but the group of little girls just now didn't leave, and they were still noisy on the side, "Look at it, they are all wearing ready-to-wear clothes from the Nishang Pavilion, and I heard that one piece will cost dozens of taels." It turns out that the Lu family is so extravagant, we only know today. ”

"I don't know if it's a swollen face, full of fat, the Lu family is just a five-grade Zhonglang general, where did the money come from to buy clothes for the whole family? Isn't there another way to go? I heard that Lord Lu did in the yamen to pay for the wounded soldiers, and we can't compare~"

Lu Weimang sighed. I don't know what's wrong, it's clear that their family has been quite peaceful in the past few years, and since this year, people have come to pick on thorns everywhere to find trouble.

Although I am sitting upright and sitting at the end of my house, these flies are surrounded every day, and I am upset, aren't they? If you ignore her, she will always buzz in front of you, and the more energetic she will be.

The ferocity in Lu Weimang's heart was a little uncontrollable, so if he couldn't do it, he would beat them up, and they would treat the tiger as a sick cat, and they came over three times to find trouble.

Lu Weimang made up his mind in his heart, and listening to the chirping voice of this group of girls, he finally stopped being irritable. "Butler, you use more strength, push it up, I have something to do at this time, come back when I'm done."

After speaking, Lu Weimang let go.

At this time, it was the critical moment to set up the tent, Lu Qingshan was struggling to support the column in the middle, and Chengyang Changfeng and the housekeeper were supporting the four corners of the tent with a piece of wood. Lu Weimang's hand let go suddenly, which made the remaining few people a little stressed, and it was worth using all his strength to grab the wood in his hand.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Cheng Yang knew Lu Weimang best, and as soon as Lu Weimang let go halfway at this moment, he felt that his sister seemed to be about to make a big move, so he hurriedly shouted. He knew that although his sister was very reliable on weekdays, she had a small flame in her heart, and she would do something slightly crazy from time to time.

Lu Weimang didn't hear it, his eyes swept around, he picked up the rope in the material of the other tent, as well as the carpet, and tore the whole carpet with his hands, tearing out a few pieces larger than a handkerchief.

Here Lu Weimang was tearing the carpet, and everyone next to him was puzzled, "Hey, Lu Weimang, what are you doing?" Good Persian carpets, do you know how expensive they are? Even if you are in your family tent, you have to tear it apart, and sure enough, it is a cow chewing peonies. In the end, he is from the countryside, and he can't become a nobleman with good things. ”

"Hey, Sister Chan'er, she can do whatever she wants. This Miss Lu has always been different from us. Others go to a girls' school, but she goes to a boys' school, even if she is hand-picked by the saint? Won't she refuse? In the final analysis, she wants to go by herself, and she is different all day long, but it is just grandstanding, what about the last time the queen mother left her alone, it didn't take a while to leak the stuffing, so that the queen mother came out? ”

Lu Weimang's expression remained unchanged, just tearing the carpet on his hands. Counting the ones in his hand again, "Well, there are five in total, that's enough." ”

The girls who were talking about the cool words on her side didn't know why, they looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Weimang's gourd.

Only that Miss Chan'er, she vaguely felt that Lu Weimang's expressionless appearance at this time was very similar to her silent appearance in the Danqing Pavilion that year.

Instinctively, Zuo Chan'er began to beckon her people to retreat, "Let's go, she is so boring, like wood, let's talk to her, it's just a waste of words." ”

A little girl was surprised, "Sister Chan'er, didn't you say that Lu Weimang is here, come here to teach her, and let her not be whimsical?" Why haven't we said anything yet, but you're backing down first? ”

Someone on the side answered, "I heard that Chan'er was beaten by Lu Weimang, don't be cowardly, you're afraid of her, right?" ”

The girls laughed, and the cold sweat on Zuo Chan'er's forehead was about to come down. Although she has a cheap mouth, she knows that it hurts. Back then, her hands were hung for three months.

"If you don't go, I'll go first."

After Zuo Chan'er finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and was about to leave, but after a glance, she found that Lu Weimang was holding a rope and a cloth head and came to her side. Suddenly screamed in panic, "You, don't come here!" ”

Lu Weimang made up her mind to do something, she would not hesitate, seeing Zuo Chan'er carrying her skirt and wanting to get out, she ran a few steps directly in front of her, without saying a word, twisted her arm and put it behind her back, and tied it with the rope in her hand.

Zuo Chan'er's personal maid stepped forward to stop her, her fists fluttering, and she was pushed away by Lu Weimang with one hand, and went to grab another noble girl.

Everyone saw Lu Weimang rushing into the crowd like a tiger descending the mountain to arrest people, and they all wanted to scatter and escape, Lu Weimang could not allow them to escape easily, one by one on the ground, the gorgeous dresses of these noble girls became a burden at this time, and they couldn't run and couldn't get up. Lu Weimang strung it with a rope, one after a while, and all five of them tied it with their hands behind their backs.

The maids of these five people rushed over and beat Lu Weimang, and she was also beaten to the ground one by one hand and one by one.

Three women in one play, five women and the screams of the maids can make a lot of noise, Lu Weimang took out the cloth torn off the carpet and stuffed it into their mouths in the frightened eyes of everyone.

But fortunately, there are still clever girls, who see that things are not right, and run away to call someone.

Lu Weimang's position is not high, and the place where the tent is set up is relatively remote, and when the maid called someone over, Lu Weimang had already packed up a group of people, and when he was stuffing the cloth head into the mouth of the last noble girl, a guard came over to drink, "What are you doing, stop it!" ”

Lu Weimang stuffed the cloth head into it, and stood up innocently with both hands, "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to be clean." ”
