Chapter 149
Just after the ugly time, the quiet house in the Lu Mansion was lit up, and the dark night became as bright as day in the area of ​​the Lu Mansion.

"Sister, what are you doing up? And Chang Feng, don't be so busy, go to sleep."

Lu Weimang hardly slept soundly all night, and just after the shuddering sound of the ugly hour, she simply got up and came to Chengyang courtyard, unexpectedly, father, housekeeper and Changfeng all gathered in Chengyang courtyard.

"I can't sleep, so I'd better come over and help clean up before I feel relieved."

While answering Cheng Yang's words, Lu Weimang walked towards his study.

But in the study, two bamboo baskets have been neatly packed.The pen, ink and inkstone are put together, and there are snacks in another basket.

Cheng Yang followed Ajie to the study, and Lu Qingshan and Changfeng also followed into the room.

"There's nothing to clean up. The Gongyuan won't let you take too many things."

Cheng Yang picked up the basket and looked at his family, "I'm going to the Gongyuan right now, so don't follow along."

There seemed to be great energy in Cheng Yang's thin body. At this time, everyone in the Lu family looked solemn, but he looked normal, as if he was going to an academy instead of an exam this time.

Lu Weimang was worried, waved his hand and said to Cheng Yang, "I can't sleep anyway, we might as well follow you to the entrance of the Gongyuan. Seeing you enter the Gongyuan, let's go again, or I won't feel at ease."

Cheng Yang had no choice but to say, "Sister, look at the children who participated in Chunwei, and asked their family members to send them off. It's not a joke."

Lu Weimang insisted, "Auntie has never seen Chunwei, you tell Auntie to open his eyes, and we will watch from a distance in the carriage instead of queuing."

Lu Qingshan also nodded in agreement, "That's right, our old Lu family has also produced scholars, I will follow you to the gate of the Gongyuan today, and go back to the yamen so that I can show off to those big bosses."

Although Changfeng yawned secretly, he still opened his eyes, expressing that he was determined to go.

Cheng Yang had no choice but to let everyone send him to the examination room.

In the early morning of February, wearing single clothes in the courtyard, he froze in an instant, but Cheng Yang refused to add more clothes, only saying that he got used to it now, and his hands and feet would not be stiff after entering the Gongyuan.

Lu Weimang was wearing a cloak, secretly complaining about the inhumane imperial examination system in his heart, while following Cheng Yang to the carriage outside the mansion.

There was no brazier in the carriage, and the whole family huddled together, so it was warmer anyway.

Lu Weimang's home is in Dongcheng, and the Gongyuan is in the north corner of Dongcheng. It is a dilapidated big courtyard on weekdays, and it is only lively for a few days during the spring time every three years.

The butler drove the carriage and walked for about two quarters of an hour before the family arrived at the gate of the Gong Yuan.

The Lu family was close and came early, but there was still a queue at the gate of the Gongyuan.

Lu Weimang exclaimed, "We came early enough, is there still time to come and line up?"

Cheng Yang jumped out of the carriage, moved his body, and talked to Sister A, "It's normal. The whole group of big-timers have come to the capital these few days. The door of the tribute yard is always open, so it's natural to be impatient. It’s early. We’re considered early, if it’s later, we might have to wait in line for a long time!”

As Cheng Yang spoke, he pointed to the several roads at the entrance of the Gongyuan. Under the dim light of the lanterns, there were continuous carriages coming, or people walking.

Cheng Yang took the basket and didn't wait any longer, "I'll go in first, if I delay for a while, it will take a long time."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yang carried the bamboo basket and walked to the end of the line to line up.

Although all the students were dressed in simple clothes, the guards checked them very carefully. When it was Cheng Yang's turn, more than a quarter of an hour had passed.

Cheng Yang handed over the bamboo basket to the supervisor, and untied his clothes for the guard to inspect.

Lu Qingshan was at the back of the line, his eyes burning just looking at it, "It's not that my family doesn't feel sorry for it, it's such a cold day, and you have to take off your unlined clothes."

After the inspection, Cheng Yang tied up his clothes unhurriedly, took back his bamboo basket, waved to the Lu family who had gone far away, and entered the Gongyuan.

Cheng Yang's figure disappeared at the gate of the Gongyuan, and the Lu family finally got into the carriage and walked back.

"The civil servants in this court are also mentally ill, and they insisted on setting the spring in February. Every year in February, the spring is cold, why don't they come and try to survive the cold?"

Lu Qingshan hated it.

"that is!"

Changfeng was also aggrieved.

Lu Weimang usually doesn't express his opinion on things that can't be changed, but at this time he couldn't help feeling a little bit like the enemy, "Because they passed the exam in this way, we won't allow the later students to have a better life!"

No matter how distressed and angry the members of the Lu family were, there was nothing they could do, they couldn't replace Cheng Yang.

After returning home, everyone lost their sleepiness and went to the school grounds to kill time.

When everyone in the Lu family was in the school grounds, they were also wearing single clothes. After the activities started, they were so hot that they couldn't wear thick clothes.

After the event, everyone in the Lu family tidied up and had breakfast. They should go to the government office, and those who should go to school should go to school.

In the Chunxi Hall, the fire wall was still on, and Lu Weimang fell asleep as expected on the warm desk in the Chunxi Hall.

When Huo Jing came back to Chunxi Hall from the morning, he saw Lu Weimang who was sleeping soundly.

He was about to step out lightly and close the door, but it might as well be that Lu Weimang couldn't sleep well outside, and a little movement would wake her up.

"Are you down?" Lu Weimang rubbed his eyes and greeted Huo Jing at the door.

"Woke up early to see off Cheng Yang?"

Huo Jing simply went into the room and closed the door to prevent the heat from escaping.

"Yeah. Just after midnight, Cheng Yang woke up. I barely slept yesterday, so I just got up to send Cheng Yang off."

In the past few days in the capital city, there are people who have participated in the Spring Festival, and this is the most important thing.Although Huo Jing doesn't need to participate in the Spring Quarters, but because of his brother-in-law this year, the Spring Quarters is also very closed.

"I think Cheng Yang is very calm, but you and Mr. Lu are not calm. Think about it, if you participated in Chunwei by yourself, would you be so restless?"

Lu Weimang said calmly, "If I had taken the test myself, I wouldn't be so worried."

"That's it. Don't you have confidence in Cheng Yang? He didn't grow up pampered. This kind of hunger and cold is normal for him. A few days ago, I went to see Cheng Yang in the mansion. He But very calm."

Lu Weimang nodded, "That's what I said, but our family is only a scholar, so we are getting nervous. After a few days, if we want to feel the atmosphere again, we may have to wait for Cheng Yang and his son."

Lu Weimang scratched his head.

In fact, they were not only nervous about Cheng Yang.I just feel that as a parent of an examinee, I should act nervous.

Just like the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat zongzi, go on a green trip, and sacrifice Qu Yuan, and they follow suit.This is the atmosphere.

Huo Jing had a clear expression on his face, "It's okay to put on airs and participate in the atmosphere, but don't put on a show, it will delay Chengyang instead."

Lu Weimang smiled "hehe", "I don't have anything here, it's just my father's place, I'm too involved in the drama, maybe right now, I'm complaining about the Chunwei regulations to my colleagues!"

Over there, Lu Qingshan was really as Lu Weimang guessed, spitting at his colleagues, "Let's say that the civil servants are also cruel, and they have to suffer through the hardships of the past, so people who come later have to taste it. Have pity on me." That Cheng Yang'er has been a star of Wenqu since he was a child. In the academy, which gentleman doesn't praise him? Chun Wei was pinched with his hands, and because of this damn regulation, he will suffer nine days of punishment! Nine days!"

Lu Qingshan pointed at the sky and cursed, beat his chest and stamped his feet, but the colleagues around him showed indifferent expressions. In the end, the adult who drank the most with Lu Qingshan in the past couldn't stand it anymore, and kicked him, "Don't show off, it's been a long time to show off!" , let's cleanse our ears for a while."

"That's right, we know that your family, Cheng Yang, is a Wenqu star, okay?"

"That's right, you are the son of the honor, went to the entrance of the tribute courtyard, and came back to blow it off. If you have the ability, you can go to the tribute courtyard by yourself, and tell us when you come back, we will admire you!"

All the adults who endured Lu Qingshan's complaints all morning complained one after another.They are all old foxes who have been there for many years, Lu Qingshan will play Liaozhai for them, but a good son just went to the gate of the Gongyuan, that's all he can bear.

Lu Qingshan scratched his head and smiled, "Hey, old guys, what are you talking about? It's just our family's Chengyang Chunwei exam. I can't help complaining about it. If you guys don't like to hear it, I won't say it that is."

Seeing that Lu Qingshan stopped, everyone didn't bother to pay attention to him, and lowered their heads to do things.

Changfeng is the most innocent here, worried about his elder brother in his heart, but his body honestly fell asleep in the teacher's class, and was woken up by the teacher and reprimanded.

Nine days of war and chaos passed, except for Cheng Yang who drank ginseng soup in the mansion to catch his sleep, and the rest of the Lu manor never mentioned the matter of the Gongyuan.One is because he is afraid of putting pressure on Cheng Yang, and the other is that Lu Weimang's good life is just around the corner.

From the end of February to the beginning of March, the Lu Mansion was arranged in the mansion for a month.For a while Lu Qingshan felt that the floor tiles in the courtyard of the mansion were not bright, and wanted to change the floor tiles to level the ground, and for a while the housekeeper felt that the style of the lanterns in the mansion was out of fashion, and wanted to replace them with the freshest ones on the market.

The flowers and trees in the mansion also did not escape, and Cheng Yang Changfeng took the ladder scissors and pruned them, and trimmed all the branches and leaves that might wither in advance.

There is also the corridor in the mansion, which has been repainted, and even the stables have not escaped, and it has been reorganized and expanded.

By the time the inner courtyard of the mansion was repaired to the gate, the gate was repainted and hung with red silk, the time had come to March [-]th, and the happy event of the Lu Mansion was just around the corner.

After the main entrance was redly decorated, people came to the door one after another to say hello and help.

Lu Qingshan's colleagues, as well as Lu Weimang and Cheng Yang's classmates, all came over to help those who could help, but they couldn't find anything to improve, so they knocked on the melon seeds and looked around to see if there were any mistakes.

The main gate welcomes and sees off, and the side door and the back door are not idle.From time to time, servants from the mansion hurried out, suddenly thinking of what was missing.There are also vendors from all walks of life, who come to deliver all kinds of fresh goods that Lu Mansion has ordered long ago.
