Chapter 80: Ease
"Miss Lu, this is the Niu Guo Mansion..."
…
"Miss Lu, this is the Wuhou Mansion..."
…
"Miss Lu, this is the Marquis of Wei's Mansion..."
…
Lu Weimang turned into a takeaway brother, and delivered the specialties assigned by Huo Jing in advance, and by the way, when they were concerned about General Huo's current situation, they simply answered a few words, and then accompanied them to chat about some Shu County customs and Kyoto climate.
However, the rules and etiquette of this high-ranking family are too in place, and she is enthusiastic about a nine-grade sesame official, and there is a family, Lu Weimang is not the right time to go, people are sitting in a room full of people doing homework, Lu Weimang's head is big as soon as he enters, and he was interrogated by this young daughter-in-law for a long time in the household registration book, and then he was able to get out.
Coming out of the last house, Lu Weimang had already collapsed, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet.
"Miss Lu, are you okay?"
Xiao Huangmen held back a smile and cared.
Lu Weimang rubbed his face and said weakly, "It's okay, I'm finally fortunate not to disgrace my life, and I finished General Huo's entrustment before I lost my breath." ”
Xiao Huangmen smiled, as if he was a little puzzled, "Miss Lu just graduated from Guozijian, and she went on an errand with General Huo, which shows that she is very capable, but now she only sends a few things, how can it be like this, well, "difficult"? ”
Xiao Huangmen found "difficult" to describe Lu Weimang's almost collapsed appearance at this time, which is quite accurate. At this time, autumn is almost the season of white dew, the weather is cool and pleasant, but Lu Weimang's forehead is sweating at this time, and his lips are a little pale, as if he has just gone through a big battle.
Lu Weimang took a deep breath and cheered up, "There is a specialization in this art industry, everyone has a good side, and there are also things that are not good at. For you, it is as easy as drinking water to communicate, I can't do it, let me count and ride a horse, I am not afraid, but let me communicate with people, it is more difficult than pulling ten cows. Fortunately, with you today, I can deliver it all in one day, otherwise it would be very difficult for me to even step into these high gates by myself. ”
The little yellow door said with a smile, "Miss Lu, you're welcome, this is the grace given to you by the queen mother, if you want to thank the queen mother." ”
"Of course I want to thank you," said Lu Weimang, taking out two bags from his sleeve, "This is a gem I got by chance in Shu County, it's not worth much, it's just a little bit of my heart." This one is for the queen mother, and this one is for you. ”
Xiao Huangmen hurriedly excused himself, but Lu Weimang was impatient to pull, relying on his own strength to stuff Xiao Huangmen's hand.
When this little yellow door returned to the palace, she first learned Lu Weimang's performance all the way from the queen, and the stiff face and strong communication made the queen in the palace laugh, and finally sent two tips to the queen, the queen opened it and saw that it was a pure and transparent gem, which reflected colorful fire in the candlelight.
A palace person next to him exclaimed, "Niangniang, what kind of gem is this, why haven't you seen it before?" Wouldn't it be even more gorgeous and dazzling if it was worn in the daytime? ”
The queen nodded with a smile, "Didn't you hear what you just said, did Lu Weimang get it by accident?" Shu County is separated by a river from the Qiang people, and some good things outside are normal. Okay, put it away, and set this gem out in a few days, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet to wear. ”
How can a woman not love gemstones, whether it is the noble queen mother, or Lu Weimang, who is not very dressed up on weekdays. She came across and bought the gem by chance from a merchant in Qionglai. Although the people of Daqian don't know about diamonds now, and they haven't seen them much before, it doesn't prevent everyone from loving this gemstone.
Without any name bonus, just as an ordinary gemstone category, I believe there will be many people who like it.
On the Qionglai trade route, not only the trade between the Daqian and the Qiang, but also the countries that are closer to the Qiang to the west will also look for business opportunities on this prosperous trade route.
The queen handed the big diamond to the palace maid next to her, and opened the small bag again, this time it was a small diamond ring made into an opening style, although it was not as dazzling as the diamond just now, but it looked extremely delicate.
"She has a heart. Since it was given to you by Miss Lu, you can take it. ”
Xiao Huangmen Cheng put away the ring in fear, secretly happy in his heart, looking at the expressions of everyone just now, it seems that he loves this gem very much. I don't know what the value is, but the most important thing is that this gem is rare. This rare thing is not comparable to silver in the palace.
Lu Weimang returned home here, and only honestly ate with everyone in the family. While eating, he was glad for his persistence, and when he went to deliver special products for General Huo, each family had to keep a meal, where could Lu Weimang stare at a large family and stay to eat, so he took the opportunity to leave under the pretext that there were still a few to send.
At this time, when he returned to his house, he was drinking pepper sesame beef and japonica rice porridge, and Lu Weimang felt that he had come to life.
"What are you doing today, why are you so tired? Sanya didn't wait for me, I also went to the household department to inquire, Qin Xuan Qin Gongzi said that you were summoned by His Majesty early in the morning and did not go back. ”
Lu Weimang looked at his father obliquely, "Daddy, you should also be independent, just go to the government together, why do you have to be with your daughter?" ”
Lu Qingshan raised his chopsticks and laughed, "you, make Daddy kidding." ”
Lu Weimang dodged for a while, and said, "Don't go to the household department to find me in the future, I changed places to work today, and it's in the small courtyard next to your Wuwei Palace, which is very close." ”
"Isn't that General Huo's territory? I heard that it was a place where the princes came to Qianchao to listen and study when they were young, but then it was empty, and General Huo has been working there since he entered the court. Lu Qingshan said strangely.
Lu Weimang shrugged, "That's it." His Majesty said, I'm a woman, and I don't look like I'm crowded with everyone, so let me go there to work, anyway, General Huo rarely returns to the court, so it's more convenient for me to be there alone. ”
Lu Qingshan scratched his head, "This is quite good." It is to occupy General Huo's place, what will General Huo say when he comes back in the future? ”
Lu Weimang was optimistic, "The lobby is reserved for General Huo, I only occupy a room on the north side, General Huo shouldn't mind." ”
Lu Qingshan nodded, "That's right, you have known each other for a long time, and you have also done errands together, General Huo is generous, I guess I won't mind." ”
The father and daughter were talking here, and the eyes of Cheng Yang and Changfeng over there were shining. The most important thing a teenage boy wants to do is to grow up quickly, like his father and sister, and do things for the court.
Lu Weimang noticed the eyes of the two younger brothers, and suddenly remembered something, so he looked at the two younger brothers and said, "This time, Sister Ah went to Shu County on an errand, which is considered to be some results, so Your Majesty gave our family a place in the national prison, and the two of you brothers will discuss it and see who will go when you see it." ”
Changfeng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Brother, Changyang was calm, seeing Changfeng's excited appearance, he said to Sister and Daddy, "Just let Changfeng go." I will be able to take the exam next year, and if it goes well, it will only be two years, and I will be able to enter the court as an official. It takes at least four years to enter the country, which is too long. ”
Cheng Yang's words were also expected by Lu Weimang. Cheng Yang doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he has a lot of ideas in his heart. He has followed Lu Weimang since he was a child, and when he saw her earning money, making sugar, studying, and becoming an official in the court, he had long wanted to be like his sister and do some practical things.
Lu Weimang nodded, "Then you have to seize the opportunity, don't be careless for a while, wait for the next time, maybe you will fall behind Changfeng." ”
Cheng Yang nodded, "I'm sure." ”
Changfeng cheered, "I can also go to the Guozijian?" Then I also want to be like Sister A, and enter the Guozijian Polo Team! ”
Changfeng is very active, and because he always works on his own school field, his physical fitness far exceeds that of his peers, and he always feels that he is not happy to play with the polo team of his own college, and this time he can finally join one of the best polo teams in Kyoto as he wished.
Lu Weimang shuddered and advised, "There are many polo masters in Guozijian, but the number of places in the polo team is limited. If you want to be selected, in addition to polo skills, you also have to take a shot in your academic performance in order to be selected for the Guozijian Polo Team. ”
Changfeng covered his forehead and grinned, "I'm sure I'm fine, just counting this item, I'll get a full score." ”
Changfeng Chengyang has followed Lu Weimang to survive since he was a child, and other skills may be ordinary, but the part of settling accounts is not a problem.
This night, the Lu family really slept soundly and sweetly, and the next day, all the staff got up late.
Chengyang Changfeng got into the carriage with a snack in his mouth, and changed his clothes in the carriage, Lu Weimang and Lu Qingshan were miserable, the official robe could not be worn outside, it had to be worn at home, and it was carefully looked in the mirror, and there was nothing inappropriate to go out.
After all, every day, there are special instrument personnel watching the officials at the gate of the palace. Whoever is disheveled will be reprimanded. The consequences are not very serious, there will be no punishment, but shame.
It was easy to put on the official robes, and the two of them took the breakfast prepared by the butler and rolled their sleeves, then turned over and rode to the palace gate in a hurry.
Entering the square before the palace gate closed, the two walked to the Wuwei Hall together,
Lu Weimang's rare idle days have finally arrived in the past year.
In the first half of the year, competitions, exams, and a business trip to Shu County in the summer, this is the ideal life in Lu Weimang's heart.
The weather is clear, the wind is smooth, every day in their own independent office, bow their heads to drink tea, look up at the white clouds, the sky is high and refreshing, lukewarm and hot, comfortable.
Occasionally take a nap freely, wake up and wipe the corners of your mouth, get up and walk around the courtyard, move, and then sit back and drink tea.
Lu Weimang even thought that he couldn't be too depraved, or tomorrow he would take a bow and arrow to practice his hands? Forget it, it's too eye-catching to come in with sharp weapons at the gate of the palace, and I heard my father say that there are ready-made ones in the Wuwei Palace, so I'll borrow a pair tomorrow.
Therefore, in the four seasons of the year, Lu Weimang likes autumn the most.
I don't know if it's happiness and sadness, Lu Weimang's comfortable days have passed for less than half a month, and Xiao Huangmen sent an invitation to the palace banquet, asking her to go to Fengyi Palace for a banquet on August 15.
Lu Weimang was simply happy and sad.
