Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 919 Someone is angry
When Lu Baichuan came back from an errand, he happened to see Old Lu coming out of the teahouse, so he came back together.

Mrs. Sun cursed at Old Man Lu: "You damn old man, you still don't know how to come back! Don't you know what day it is today? Why don't you go take a shower and change clothes? You might have to ask the nobles to wait for you!"

After seeing her son come back, he looked like he was hesitant to speak. He must have something to say to his daughter-in-law. Mrs. Sun was very discerning, so she grabbed old man Lu and left, leaving space for the two of them.

"what happened?"

He Jiuniang also felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, Lu Baichuan should not have passed by the teahouse when he came back.

"It's nothing. I just suspect that Dongting may have someone left in Dongting, or there is a spy in the court. I have been investigating."

Lu Baichuan answered honestly. As soon as he opened his mouth, He Jiuniang understood what he meant.

There are still people in Dongting in the capital. If the matter of finding the king is announced now, the work that has been kept secret for so long will be in vain.

"I understand, just do what you want. You can't rush this kind of thing."

Lu Baichuan responded: "Well, by the way, I received a letter from Qin Jian, saying that the mine has been taken over, and all the local officials involved with King Xun have been arrested. At this time, they are being escorted back to Beijing. Chengzhou It should be almost there soon."

He Jiuniang smiled and said: "That's good. Brother Qin handled this matter very well. It's not worth our traveling thousands of miles."

Qin Shicheng's words were not ordinary excitement. He praised his wife's medicine for saving all their lives and making their mission a lot easier.

The most important thing is that all the brothers he brought are alive and well. It's a long way to go with him and come back alive.

Therefore, he did not tell his wife.

After a while, the children who were studying also came back. Knowing that they were going to attend a banquet in the evening, they went back to bathe and change clothes like the wind.

After they were all packed up, the time was just right and the whole family entered the palace together.

With so many things happening, the status of the Lu family has naturally risen. Before, some people would look at them with disdain, but now they no longer look at them.

Even if he doesn't take the initiative to say hello, he will smile and express his gratitude.

The Lu family never cares about this. They will return whatever others do to them. Anyway, they won't suffer any loss and won't be too ostentatious.

Zhang Lanxiang and Liu Yuexiang also came this time. They were still a little uncomfortable, but they felt it was nothing after following Lianhua all the time. At least there would be no careless people coming forward to cause trouble for them.

This Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet was held very grandly, for the purpose of reunion, so the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and other family members were required to attend. It was extremely lively and naturally prone to problems. The scene was strictly controlled and no trouble was allowed to go wrong. Something happened that disturbed everyone's interest.

The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is divided into three stages. First, everyone eats and drinks together and chats about home affairs, so that everyone is not so restrained and feels like they are at home.

Then the emperor and empress led everyone to admire the moon and enjoy singing and dancing under the stage in the imperial garden.

Finally, the emperor and empress led everyone to worship the moon together, and then went home to rest.

The most humane thing is that on the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, officials are given a day off so that they can spend time with their families without having to get up early to go to court.

The emperor was kind, and the courtiers also took advantage of it, and everyone looked happy.

Before the banquet started, the emperor took the lead in speaking, summarizing the recent events and achievements in the court, and commending the officials who had made a lot of efforts during this period.Lu Baichuan was among them, and he was so merciless in receiving the rewards, which made many people sour.

After the rewards were over, the banquet officially began.

Originally, everyone was enjoying the food in front of them, occasionally praising which dish was delicious, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

It happened that at this time, there were still people who had not recovered from the sour water they had just received, and suddenly said loudly: "General Lu is so outstanding, I think the young master must be good at it. I heard that the young master is studying in the Imperial College, I wonder if I can pass the exam." Do some school work?"

He smiled brightly, just like a very ordinary elder who wanted to test the children's homework in school, he was approachable and hard to refuse.

But He Jiuniang still refused: "Mr. Zhang, please don't embarrass your children during the festival. Isn't the food in front of you not delicious?"

Hearing He Jiuniang's words, Zhang Wentao's face instantly turned ugly. He looked down on women from the bottom of his heart. He felt that women could just stay at home and take care of their husbands and children, and they didn't need to have great abilities.

However, He Jiuniang was an alternative among women. She even outshone the men in the limelight. When the emperor just gave the reward, he specifically stated that He Jiuniang also received a share of the reward given to Lu Baichuan.

She's just a woman, why!
However, he also knew He Jiuniang's status in the emperor's heart, so naturally he would not offend her openly.

He quickly adjusted his expression and said, "Mrs. Lu is joking. The young master has excellent grades, so he is naturally not afraid of taking the exam. Besides, courage must be practiced from a young age. Today is an opportunity, so don't let Mrs. Lu be disappointed."

Calling her a disappointment made He Jiuniang instantly unhappy. Just as she was about to retaliate, Lu Baichuan said: "My family never requires children to be outstanding, let alone express themselves in front of so many people. Today is a holiday, and the whole country is celebrating. Why would Mr. Zhang embarrass a child?"

It is easy for people to misunderstand what he said, thinking that Gou'er might really be a scumbag, and the rumors he heard before were all deliberately fabricated by the Lu family.

"Hahaha, General Lu is angry? Oh, I have no other intention. I just think that children are the future and hope of the country, and I just want to test the young master's homework. Since General Lu is so unhappy, Then forget it, forget it—"

He deliberately dragged out the ending sound very loudly and snorted coldly, looking contemptuous of others.

Then, as if he wanted to show off deliberately, he called his son up and took the exam in public.

His son is almost 20 years old, and he still has some literary talent. However, he may not have expected that his father will take the exam in public, so he is very nervous and stumbles a bit when speaking.

But fortunately, I didn't make any big mistakes and my answers were quite satisfactory.

Although his behavior was very annoying, some people still supported him, so a few more teenagers were called on to answer questions.

Coincidentally, the boys who were called to answer were all pretty good at their homework. Apparently Zhang Wentao still gave everyone face, and the questions he asked were not difficult, and he didn't want to offend too many people.

After all, his next target is that boy from the Lu family.

The Lu family was so busy grabbing the limelight that they had to find someone to vent their feelings to, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

After a round of school exams, he praised everyone one by one, and the atmosphere became harmonious again.

At this time, the troublesome person spoke: "General Lu, Mr. Zhang has no ill intentions. He is just testing the children's homework. You don't need to be nervous anymore."
