Lu Chongyuan hurriedly got up to greet him, the young man pushed the door unhurriedly and entered, Qinghuan pulled Qingyu to the side, and shouted respectfully: "I have seen the third son." The young man waved his hand to signal them to stand down, turned his head to look at Lu Chongyuan, restrained the smile on his face, and waved to Lu Chongyuan. Then he spoke: "Brother Lu fainted directly when he saw the list that day, and he took it upon himself to bring you back, and if you offend, I still hope that Brother Lu Haihan." Lu Chongyuan hurriedly replied: "How dare Chongyuan be strange to my brother, your mansion has taken care of me a lot these days. If you don't know what to do, wouldn't you have read the books of the sages for many years? The young man did not speak, and the folding fan in his hand opened and closed. Lu Chongyuan gritted his teeth, and still asked the sentence that had been held back for a long time: "Dare to ask the name of the world, where is this place." ”

The young man seemed to have known what Lu Chongyuan wanted to ask, slowly closed the fan, cleared his throat and said: "A certain surname Lu is named Chengjian, the word is only in the middle, this is the Lu Mansion of Bao'en Lane of Daxiangguo Temple. Lu Chongyuan can be regarded as confirming what he thinks, the master in the mouth of the girl in Qinghuan is the current secretary Lu Mengzheng. Then the young man in front of him is naturally Lu Xiang's third son, Lu Chengjian. Lu Chongyuan sorted out his thoughts, looked at this top Yanei of Bianliang City, and slowly spoke: "What the world brother said is next to the Great Xiangguo Temple, if I am not mistaken, there is only one Lu Mansion here." Could it be that the world brother is the son of Lu Xiang? Where I was disrespectful before, I also invited my brother Haihan. Lu Chengjian nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Lu is really smart, but this Lu Xiang will meet his father, don't shout again." Lu Chongyuan naturally heard the sound outside the strings, Lu Mengzheng had been dismissed at this time, and calling Lu Xiang a little different, he couldn't make this kind of mistake.

In the study of the Lu Mansion, Lu Meng was sitting upright. After Lu Chengjian took Lu Chongyuan to the study, he got Lu Mengzheng's permission and left the study as if he was running away, and the speed made Lu Chongyuan a little sideways. The atmosphere became a little embarrassed in an instant, and Lu Chongyuan stubbornly opened his mouth and praised: "The student heard that Lu Gongzhi was strict in his early years, and today he knows that what he said is true. Lu Mengzheng was also a little angry when he heard this, and said: "But when I was young, I was often punished for being playful, and now that I am older, I am still a little afraid of this strict father." Lu Chongyuan was terrible when he heard it, this fart slapped the horse's leg, and he was scared out of a cold sweat all of a sudden. Lu Mengzheng also saw Lu Chongyuan's nervousness, so he talked about the problem of studying with him, and after several inquiries, Lu Chongyuan could answer it fluently, and Lu Mengzheng couldn't help but look sideways. Previously, Lieutenant General Wei brought Lu Chongyuan back and said that he was going to catch a son-in-law for Yue'er, but Lu Mengzheng just smiled indifferently. His son has no other skills, but he is good at making friends, and it can be said that he is a winning friend in this Bianliang City. After several examinations by himself, this son can obtain the second place in the provincial examination is indeed some sage truth in his heart. Yue'er's girl has always been dissatisfied with the marriage she arranged, just because she didn't want to be used as a marriage tool. If this son can get the top few results in the palace examination, it is not impossible to marry Yue'er to this person.

Thinking of his uncertain daughter, Lu Mengzheng was also a little afraid, he was a first-class talent in the world when it came to governing the country and learning. This is the only thing that really gives him a headache. Since Yue'er was sixteen years old, she has arranged no less than ten sons-in-law for her. Which of those princes didn't squeeze their heads to lean on their own bodies, but this girl couldn't look down on any of them. Seeing that he was already twenty-five, every time I talked about it with my colleagues, I was annoyed. What's more, it is rumored that Lu Xiang's daughter is extremely ugly, and no one is willing to marry for more than ten years. The dignified country is the ruler of the country, and the affairs of the family have become the jokes of the people of Bianliang City after dinner, and this time they want to marry this girl out of their mouths. This son has excellent appearance and conduct, but he is not visible in the world. But when I think about it, wasn't it the same for me at the beginning? After only ten years of high school champion, he entered the political hall, and now he mentions himself who does not sigh that the future is terrifying.

Lu Mengzheng paused and said, "Can you be sure of the palace test?" Lu Chongyuan smiled bitterly: "Back to Lu Gong, the students are quite slow to solve the problem, and the palace test is not as good as those talents who are quick in writing and thinking." This can make it difficult for Lu Mengzheng, the rules set by Emperor Taizu, and it was because of this that he took advantage of this that he became the champion of the department in one fell swoop. Before Lu Meng could speak, Lu Chongyuan immediately said: "Does Gong Lu know about the Li family's baked cake shop before the Ministry of Rites exam?" Lu Mengzheng thought about it carefully: "There is a slight impression, you can tell me the details." This matter has been widely circulated, and sure enough, the DPRK and China have also learned about it. Lu Chongyuan didn't dare to add oil and vinegar, so he described the poetry meeting that happened in the baked cake shop that day.

This description made Lu Mengzheng blush and white for a while when he heard it, didn't he know that this was not good. But this world belongs to the Zhao family after all, and he seems to be the most beautiful, but the king's unwarranted speculation can make him lose his phase. Lu Mengzheng knew that he couldn't change this matter on his own. Looking at Lu Chongyuan's eyes again, there was more praise and affirmation, and he didn't participate in such a ridiculous thing in such an environment. This son is a great good.

Lu Mengzheng thought about it for a long time and decided that the next day the court would play with Taizong, and report the content of the poetry meeting truthfully. None of the champions who have been selected in the palace examination for more than ten years have been able to enter the political hall, which is the face of the imperial examination and the face of the scholars in the world. Lu Chongyuan knew what Lu Meng was thinking, and waited quietly on the side. After a long time, Lu Mengzheng came back to his senses from his contemplation, smiled at Lu Chongyuan, and asked: "As far as I know, you are a member of Kaifeng Mansion, and you have been farming for generations, you are the first scholar in the family, you can obtain the status of a tribute student, and you may even be able to enter the department in one fell swoop above the palace examination, which is not easy." Lu Chongyuan hurriedly praised: "The student's knowledge is shallow, and he should not be praised by Lu Gong." Compared to Lu Gong's early experience, the achievements of the students are not worth mentioning. These heartfelt words made Lu Mengzheng very useful.

Lu Meng is father-in-law looked at his son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye, and said: "If you can get the top ten in the first class in the palace test, there is a daughter, Ping Suli was spoiled by her mother, and the family has recruited a son-in-law for her more than ten times. This girl picks and chooses, but none of them can be eye-catching. Now that I am the same age as you, I am interested in recruiting you as a son-in-law, what do you think? Without waiting for Lu Chongyuan to refuse, he instructed the old servant beside him: "Liang Fu, you let the rebel girl come to see so." Lu Chongyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, with Lu Mengzheng's identity, even if his daughter is as unsightly as rumors, there will definitely be people willing to marry, and there must be some reason for not being married for more than ten years.

During this period, Lu Mengzheng and Lu Chongyuan discussed some strategies for governing the country. Lu Chongyuan also complained about the official family's several Northern Expeditions, believing that the outside must first be safe. Because of his identity as a scholar, he did not talk about family and national affairs. The conversation was very decent, and there were many similarities with Lu Mengzheng's governing strategy, and the two had a very happy conversation. Outside the door, an old man and a young man also listened with relish and did not bother the two rashly. Lu Yue'er knew that her cheap father was arranging a marriage for herself again, but this time it didn't seem to be a straw bag. Compared with the previous gentlemen who made people feel disgusting in their conversations, Lu Yueer suddenly looked forward to the first meeting with her new "husband". Lu Liangfu also saw that this young lady seemed to be a little moved, so he added fuel and vinegar, and it was probably that Lu Chongyuan was not as good as the old man, except for his background, the rest were all good.

When Lu Yue'er heard this, she couldn't bear it, so she pushed the door in without waiting for the old servant to report, to see if Lu Chongyuan's appearance was the best choice as Uncle Lu said. Lu Chongyuan was frightened by this sudden scene, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Yue'er. Although he is close to his age, he has never been close to women. When I was stared at so closely by a woman, I was just born, and I was passed around by my mother to show my neighbors. Lu Chongyuan didn't know why he remembered everything clearly from birth to now, and even the second woman who hugged him had a mole in the upper left corner of her chest, and it had been almost thirty years, and he still remembered where it was.

Lu Yue'er saw Lu Chongyuan's shy appearance, and her heart was playful, so she wanted to snuggle in Lu Chongyuan's arms. Lu Mengzheng couldn't stand it anymore, and stopped her by opening his mouth: "Rebel girl, Hugh is rude!" Lu Yue'er replied indifferently: "Don't you just want to marry me off?" Daddy, I'm very happy, when will I get married? Is the post going to be delivered? Then he looked at Lu Chongyuan: "Xiao Langjun, I guess you have also heard some stories circulating in the market, saying that I, Lu Yue'er, am ugly, so Lu Mansion has failed to marry more than ten times of recruiting sons-in-law." You look at me and say well, am I, Lu Yue'er, really that ugly? ”

Asked by this, Lu Chongyuan dared to look at Lu Yue'er carefully, this woman had a smile between her eyebrows and eyes, and the natural charm in her smile was vividly displayed. Under the loose pale green Luo skirt, the proud figure looms, and the fair skin and bright eyes and bright teeth make her a first-class beauty. Xu is past twenty-eight years, and the woman at this time has a unique charm. Lu Chongyuan sorted out his thoughts and said the sentence that he had been thinking about for a long time: "Miss Yue'er's hands are like soft wattles, her skin is like clotted fat, her collar is like a grub, her teeth are like a rhinoceros, and her head is like a moth eyebrow." Clever smile, beautiful eyes. Among the women I have seen, I am the first, and in a certain heart, there is no one to match. Lu Yue'er looked at Lu Chongyuan with a little more shyness in her eyes, although she was arrogant and unreasonable at home, and her brother was accommodating to herself, but it was the first time she was praised like this. Listening to my father talking to him outside the door was very pleasant, and it was quite a good son-in-law. It's over, then grandma, isn't it really going to be bad this time. As soon as he thought of this, he fled from the study without looking back.

Lu Mengzheng was already surprised by this, and looked at Lu Chongyuan, who was already looking at his son-in-law, as if he was sure that Lu Chongyuan would get a good ranking in the palace examination. smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, the little girl has been unrestrained since she was a child, and her temperament is a little weird." It is rumored that Yue'er's appearance is unbearable, and it is also a miscommunication, and today the two of you can be regarded as having a relationship. As long as you can get the first grade in the palace examination, I will marry Yue'er to you. Lu Mengzheng had unconsciously lowered his requirements for Lu Chongyuan a lot, and as Lu Yue'er's father, he naturally saw that his daughter was a little moved. Of course, I am also very satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.

"What arrangements do you have next, the palace exam will not start until the next month." Lu Mengzheng didn't want to miss such a good son-in-law, so he naturally wanted to contribute to the palace examination. Lu Chongyuan returned: "After the student etiquette exam, I originally planned to go back to my hometown to report the good news to my parents. Unexpectedly, he fainted at the gate of the Gongyuan, but fortunately, the brother was kind-hearted and took the students back to Lu Mansion to recuperate. Students still want to return to their hometowns as soon as possible to give good news to their parents. Lu Mengzheng was also touched when he heard this, he was the top student in high school, and he returned to his hometown to report the good news as soon as possible. This son's filial piety is commendable, so he can rest assured that Yue'er will be handed over to him.

"Tomorrow, I will let Weizhong accompany you on a trip, it is inconvenient for me to go out of the city, but Weizhong will say hello to your parents on my behalf." Lu Chongyuan understood that Lu Mengzheng was trying to build momentum for himself, and he would also be labeled as the Luoyang Lu family.
