Zhang Yuqing didn't even look at Zhang Yuqian, and didn't give him a little more out of the corner of his eye, and walked past him expressionlessly, as if there was no such person next to him.

"Phew!" Zhang Yuqian snorted coldly, took a sip in the direction where Zhang Yuqing left, and hurriedly ran to Mrs. Zhang.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang saw Zhang Yuqian coming back, she immediately stood up, greeted her, and asked eagerly, "Is the silver coming back?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Yuqian said.

Mrs. Zhang was anxious, "Did you tell them, if you don't pay back the money, you will find Lu Gongzi to come forward to clean them up?" ”

"What are you anxious about! Listen to me! Zhang Yuqian said happily, "They told me an inside story, one of the people who was admitted to Xiucai this time suddenly died of a heart attack, and there was no one on the night when he went home after the exam!" The messenger of the good news came to his house and found that he was doing nothing! ”

Mrs. Zhang was inexplicable, "What does this matter to us?" ”

"Mother, only twenty people were admitted to the show this year, and now one has died, and there are only nineteen people left, so it is bound to make up for one!" Zhang Yuqian's eyes were full of joy.

Mrs. Zhang understood the key to this and was pleasantly surprised, "Do you really want to make up for one?" ”

"It's true! I was afraid that they would deceive people again, so I asked several people, and they all said that there was a Xiucai who was in the exam and died of a sudden illness! Zhang Yuqian said with an oath.

Mrs. Zhang rubbed her hands excitedly, and suddenly calmed down, "It's a supplement, and it doesn't necessarily make up for you, right?" ”

There are so many children who have fallen off the list! Why do you have to supply Zhang Yuqian?

"People told me that the examiner of this exam is from the same door as Brother Lu, as long as Brother Lu speaks, what can't be done? It's just that this matter has to be fast, one step later, and I have to make up for others! Zhang Yuqian said in a low voice, with a posture of victory.

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed and didn't know what to say, "I thought this thing was out of play, but I didn't expect that there would be a time when the peaks and loops turned!" ”

"People said, send me such an important news, let me quickly find a relationship to do something, and the three thousand taels of silver will be the money to buy the news." Zhang Yuqian said hesitantly.

Mrs. Zhang snorted, "Let's find Mr. Lu to make up the record first, and when you record it, then ask them for money!" Our Zhang family is the in-laws of the lord of Duanshu, and even our family's silver dares to cheat, it is simply lawless! ”

On the second day, Zhang Yuqian sent an invitation, inviting Lu Wei and several people he knew in the polo team to come to his home to discuss the affairs of the polo team, and have lunch by the way. Nominally, it was to discuss the matter of the polo team, but in fact it was only to invite Lu Wei.

Because the people invited are all characters who "have heads and faces" in Mrs. Zhang's heart, Mrs. Zhang beat the subordinates of the family several times in advance, be cautious, and never make mistakes when serving the nobles, so that the nobles can see the jokes of the Zhang family.

As for Zhang Yuqing, Mrs. Zhang spoke directly, and stayed in the house that day and was not allowed to go out. Afraid that Zhang Yuqing would be disobedient and run out and collide with the nobleman, Mrs. Zhang privately told the maid to lock up the dilapidated courtyard where Zhang Yuqing lived when the guests arrived.

When Lu Wei received Zhang Yuqian's invitation, he refused in his heart.

"Didn't he fall off the list? It's not good to study hard at home and discuss what the polo team is! Lu Wei's tone was displeased.

Fang Mo echoed: "That is, if you lose the list, please have a banquet to celebrate his failure?" ”

"Childe should go for a trip!" Fang Qin persuaded, "Last time, because of the matter of Yuqing's girl Zhuangzi, I had a very unpleasant quarrel with Miss Zhang, if you don't go this time, I'm afraid that the Zhang family has an idea in their hearts." ”

Lu Wei bowed, "I want to go and see, the crown princess has just passed away, if the Zhang family holds a banquet with great fanfare, it will inevitably be caught." ”

The Zhang family spent a lot of money for this banquet, and kept buying chickens, ducks, and fish from the house for a day. Mrs. Zhang thought that the cooks in the house were not good, and invited the chef of a famous restaurant in the capital to come over and take charge of the cooking.

Zhang Zuozhen originally didn't want to invite someone at this time, but as soon as she heard Mrs. Zhang say about the supplement, she no longer objected.

Zhang Yuqing was separated by the courtyard wall, and he could feel the atmosphere of nervous anticipation from top to bottom of the Zhang Mansion.

When Lu Wei came over, the little guy immediately took him to the flower hall, where Zhang Yuying was waiting for him, Ying Yingsu picked up the purple sand teapot and poured a cup of tea for Lu Wei, "Taste, the newly bought Zhengshan small seed." ”

Lu Wei took the tea and tasted it.

"How?" Zhang Yuying asked with a smile on her face.

Lu Wei's expression was faint, "Not bad!" ”

"If you like it." Zhang Yuying said softly and kindly.

The two fell silent again, Zhang Yuying sighed, looked at Lu Wei with water vapor in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "The two Zhuangzi gave it to her, as for the income over the years, my mother is trying to find a way to raise silver taels, and when she has raised enough money, she will return it to her." I have fulfilled all three conditions you mentioned. ”

Lu Wei bowed, "That's very good." ”

Zhang Yuying didn't expect to get Lu Wei's words, her face was a little stiff, she walked up to Lu Wei, and said coquettishly: "Then don't be angry with me, okay?" ”

After all, it is a person who will get along with each other for a lifetime in the future, and there will be a long time in the future, and if there is something wrong, it can be slowly changed, thinking of this, Lu Wei softened his face and said: "Even if this matter is over, you and I don't have to mention it again, we still look forward in the future." ”

Zhang Yuying laughed, feeling that Lu Wei still had her in her heart, and saying that she would withdraw from the marriage if she couldn't meet three conditions was simply scaring her!

The hateful thing is that she was actually frightened and gave those two Zhuangzi to Zhang Yuqing in vain!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuying was unhappy in her heart, feeling that she had been pinched by Lu Wei, and originally wanted to foreshadow a few more sentences, but she was not in the mood at the moment, and said bluntly: "Brother Qian didn't get into the Xiucai exam, you know?" ”

Lu Wei said: "I heard about it. He is still young, and there will be more opportunities in the future, so you should urge him to study hard at home. ”

"Let's not talk about that." Zhang Yuying took a step forward and whispered: "Brother Qian has inquired, one of the Xiucai admitted this year will die of a sudden illness after the exam, and he will make up another one." ”

Lu Wei said: "In previous years, there were also such cases, but there were not many cases of supplementation. ”

"Lord Zhao, who is in charge of the Jingcheng Township Examination this year, is the same brother as you!" Zhang Yuying said eagerly, secretly scolding Lu Wei for being a wooden head, if Zhang Yuqian was so good that he was the first in Sun Mountain, she still needed to say this in front of him?

Lu Wei's eyes suddenly became cold, "So what?" ”

Zhang Yuying lowered her voice, "It's just a talent exam, do you want to make up for it, who to make it up, isn't it all a matter of Lord Zhao's words?" You are the only son of Lord Duanshu, and you are the same disciple of Lord Zhao, as long as you say hello to Lord Zhao......"

Zhang Yuying didn't dare to continue to say the next words, Lu Wei still looked like she was not shocked at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, but she sensitively noticed that the atmosphere between the two had changed.

"You asked me to cheat in the imperial examination?" Lu Wei asked coldly.

Zhang Yuying took a step back in horror by the cold momentum that emanated from his body, and bit her lip and said aggrievedly: "It's just a show talent, what kind of fraud is this?" Why do you say it so seriously! ”

Lu Wei was silent.

Zhang Yuying also thought that he was weighing the pros and cons, and said: "I have promised you three conditions, give you enough face, can't you do me a favor?" Brother Qian is my own brother, he missed this time, he was very sad, and he didn't even want to read the book! If you can make up for it, you can persuade him to continue to study hard! ”

Lu Wei took a deep breath, held on to the last glimmer of hope, and persuaded: "Miss Zhang, Brother Ling is not a stupid person, but he is not diligent enough in his studies, so he is famous for Sun Shan. If I were you, I would only let him use this defeat as a lesson, spur him to be diligent and motivated, and end up again in the future, instead of helping him go the wrong way! ”

Zhang Yuying's face turned red by what he said, and she was deeply disgraced, and said angrily: "Why is it that you say that the supplementary record Xiucai is a crooked and evil way?" If there is a shortcut, why take a detour? ”

Lu Wei took a deep look at Zhang Yuying in anger, and suddenly asked, "Do you know how difficult it is for a poor peasant family to confess a show?" ”

Zhang Yuying was choked for a moment, and then said unhappily: "What does this have to do with us?" Yes, it's true that it's not fair to those who fall off the list, but they are already off the list! We don't look for a way, the examiner is making up for someone else! Is that fair to Brother Qian? ”

Lu Wei couldn't hide his disappointment in his eyes, and turned around to leave.

Zhang Yuying stopped him, anxious and angry, "Lu Wei, it was you who introduced the fox friend to Brother Qian, he listened to the words of those people, and spent three thousand taels of silver to buy fake exam papers, thinking that he would sit back and relax, so he stopped reading books, so he fell off the list!" ”

Lu Wei turned his head, his eyes were cold, and he asked word by word: "In this way, I am all to blame for the failure of the younger brother's test, Lu someone?" ”

"No, that's not what I meant!" Zhang Yuying stammered.

Lu Wei asked, "Who did Brother Ling find to buy the rolls?" ”

"I don't know, I don't know those people!" Zhang Yuying said.

Lu Wei said directly: "I'll go to Brother Ling and ask him to identify it personally, since it was introduced by someone from Lu, I will definitely be responsible to the end, and let them return the silver to the Zhang family!" ”

"This, isn't this offensive! Cannot! Zhang Yuying hurriedly said, aggrieved, "You just help, send a word to Lord Zhao, I braved the scolding of my father and mother to achieve the three conditions you mentioned." When it comes to me, it's just a matter of your words, and you won't do it for me? ”

The more Zhang Yuying spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and she almost burst into tears, "Everyone else envies me for marrying the son of the Duanshu County Lord, but what is there to envy!" The only time I asked you to say a word, you wouldn't! You're willing to give that broom star a head, but you won't do anything for me, a wife who hasn't been through the door! ”

Lu Wei only felt that the woman opposite who had the aura of "talented girl" and "famous girl" was very unfamiliar, and as he got to know Zhang Yuying better, it was like a decent and elegant aura fading layer by layer, leaving only a greedy and shameless heart, naked in front of him.

Lu Wei said: "The meaning that was revealed in your words before, the Zhang family is difficult, and these two Zhuangzi are very important to the Zhang family. But I thought that Zhuangzi belonged to someone else, and it should be returned to someone else anyway. Since the Zhang family is in difficulty, I will buy Zhuangzi and give it to you, and this matter can be regarded as the best of both worlds. ”

"Now it seems that I am doing superfluous things." Lu Wei continued, "What I can give, not what you want. I can't give you what you want. ”
