Chapter 6 The identity of the tribute, the son-in-law under the list

Lu Chongyuan endured the headache and opened his eyes, and a delicate screen came into view. The two ends of the moire bridge base support the whole screen, the rectangular screen frame is framed in the center of a pair of landscape calligraphy and painting, the outer part of the calligraphy and painting is covered with silk decoration, can be described as extremely luxurious. Screens are such objects, although Lu Chongyuan has studied for many years, although he has seen a little, all of them are noble families, this is just a living room, he has no relatives and no reason in this Kaifeng City, and when he thinks of this, he is not caught by someone on the list. Just as he was about to get up, the creaking sound of the door opening sounded, and a slightly rich little maid complained: "Lang Jun said that this person is a great talent, and it is said that he is the second place in this year's provincial examination." But it's so sleepy, and the young lady will pass the door in the future, and I'll marry as usual, aren't you worried about Qinghuan. Another delicate-looking maid just laughed and scolded: "Lang Jun said that this person will be an official master after the palace test, why are you Qingyu not happy to be a small official master." ”

Qingyu was obviously a little unconvinced when she heard this, and her puffing appearance was very cute. looked at Qinghuan and said, "Master Guan? Qinghuan, I'm afraid you're not confused, Lang Jun said that the first class in the palace test will be directly awarded. Even if he is awarded an official, can he be as high as the master? Qinghuan hurriedly covered Qingyu's mouth: "Forgot the rules of our house?" can't talk about the official position of the master, you, Lang Jun knew about it and was fined monthly money. Listening to the conversation between these two little maids, Lu Chongyuan also had a preliminary understanding of this. This is probably the mansion of a certain Beijing official, and this decoration is at least a third-grade official. What puzzled him was that most of the sons-in-law caught under the list occurred in some businessmen's homes, and the captured son-in-law would definitely provide some help to his own business in the official face after he entered politics, and he could also provide him with some financial help, which was a win-win situation. Most of the children of such high-ranking officials and princes increase their political capital through marriage, on the contrary, catching a son-in-law is dispensable for them, and long-term investment is not as real as reaping immediate returns now.

"Sister Qinghuan, go see if he's awake. I'm a little sick to my stomach, let's go and make it easier, my sister is the best for Yu'er, hehe. After speaking, he didn't wait for Qinghuan to respond, and ran away without a trace. When Lu Chongyuan heard this, he immediately closed his eyes and lay down again. Qinghuan's footsteps were soft, but Lu Chongyuan could feel the distance getting closer. Seeing that Lu Chongyuan was still unconscious, although Lang Zhong had already come to see it, he said that his pulse was stable. It's just that I'm overjoyed, and I'm so angry that I'll be healed after a few days of rest. Qinghuan still couldn't help but worry, this "future uncle" stretched out his jade hand and slowly put it on Lu Chongyuan's forehead. A breeze blew across Lu Chongyuan's face, and the faint aroma made him smell a few more times. Qinghuan also felt a little strange, his face flushed suddenly, and he hurriedly withdrew the hand placed on Lu Chongyuan's forehead.

Lu Chongyuan slowly opened his eyes, made a look like he had just woken up, and took advantage of the situation to look at this Qinghuan sister. The girl in the cardamom years looks quite delicate, especially the small face at this time is like a fire cloud after the rain, delicate and beautiful, which adds a few different charms to the young girl. Seeing that Lu Chongyuan was looking at himself, Qinghuan hurriedly hid behind the screen, he was sold to the Lu family by Yazi since he was a child, and he almost never had contact with other men except for a few Lang Jun from the master.

However, after adjusting his emotions slightly, he came to Lu Chongyuan and said slowly: "Lu Gongzi, you can be regarded as awake, Qingyu and I have been frightened by you in the past few days." Since Lang Jun brought you back from the Gongyuan, you have slept without eating or drinking for three whole days. Lu Chongyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, fortunately, it was only three days, and according to the usual practice, the palace examination would not be held until the next month after the Ministry of Rites examination. I have only slept for three days, and I will not miss this palace exam. Just when Lu Chongyuan was pondering how to speak, a grun~ voice broke the silence first. Looking at Lu Chongyuan's embarrassed appearance, Qinghuan also covered his mouth and smiled. He immediately spoke: "Master Lu, you lie down and rest for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to get you some food." ”

Looking at the back of Qinghuan leaving, Lu Chongyuan also got up and looked at the room. A screen is placed in the center of the room, and the bed is separated from the main entrance by a screen. On both sides of the screen is framed with a landscape painting, rough but without losing the artistic conception, and the ink treasure mentioned is also unique. Although Lu Chongyuan doesn't know much about this way, he is sure that these are all from everyone's hands. There is a set of neat four treasures of the study on the bookcase, and a delicate jade inkstone screen is placed in the upper left corner, and the layout of the room is simple and elegant, all of which show the status of the owner of the mansion. In front of the screen, a three-seater round table is placed, and the cloud head pattern forms a closed pattern around the round table, supplemented by the wooden pattern on the stool, and the two complement each other. After looking at it for a while, Lu Chongyuan came to a conclusion that this person must be a dignitary of the current dynasty. Thinking of the conversation between Qinghuan and Qingyu, Lu Chongyuan had a rough guess in his heart.

At this moment, Qinghuan led Qingyu to bring a few dishes of exquisite side dishes. Qingyu was also taken aback when she saw Lu Chongyuan alive for the first time, and took a closer look. This person has been hungry for so long, and he still eats Sven, and he is even more bookish than a few Lang Jun in the family. The pale face also had a little blood at this time, and it still looked like it was in the past. If you can get a ranking in the palace test, it seems that it is not a loss to be small for this person. Qinghuan saw that Qingyu's eyes had slowly softened when he looked at Lu Chongyuan, and he was also relieved in his heart, his Qingyu sister has been eccentric since she was a child, but fortunately, she was relaxed under the Lu family, otherwise this girl didn't know how much she would have to suffer. When the young lady marries into the Lu family, she and Qingyu can also leave the Lu family's birdcage to see the sky outside.

Just as Qingyu was wandering out of the world, a burp pulled her back to the real world. Lu Chongyuan's scholarly image of a beautiful man instantly put a question mark in this little girl's heart, and Lu Chongyuan also showed an embarrassed smile, he had indeed been hungry for too long. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it is worthy of a big family, and simple soup and rice can be made so exquisitely. After Lu Chongyuan finished eating, he planned to clean up the dishes by himself, Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stopped his behavior. The gentleman is far away from cooking, and the lord of the family and a few Lang Jun have never seen anyone clean up the dishes and chopsticks. We maids understand this truth, why don't this scholar understand. Qinghuan glanced at Lu Chongyuan with disgust, and cleaned himself up. Poor Lu Dacai, who has done everything himself in the past few years, where has he enjoyed this treatment, and he doesn't know where to put his hands for a while. Qingyu saw his embarrassed appearance, and he also covered his mouth, eating and smiling.

"Brother Lu, you can be regarded as awake, these days can make a certain person very worried." There was a hearty laugh outside the door, and Lu Chongyuan knew that it was most likely the one who brought him back to this mansion from the Tribute Courtyard.
