Chapter 115

The old dean is chatting with two old friends. The old friends are also well-versed in poetry and books, and they teach in the academy.

Seeing Lu Qian come in now, I couldn't help but take a few glances at Lu Qian, a closed disciple.

After all, when the old dean suddenly accepted him as a poor boy, many people were shocked.Everyone was curious about what was so outstanding about Lu Qian that made the old dean such an exception.

The old yard knew it in his heart, but he didn't say much.

When Lu Qian entered the door, he saw that there were other gentlemen present, so he hurriedly greeted him, and without any politeness, he said directly, "Sir, my brother came to visit the students today and brought some food made by my younger sister. I remember that the sir once praised the taste of altar meat, The students specially sent an altar to honor Mr.

"Oh, that's how it is, that's great."

The old dean had half-closed his eyes, but when he heard this, he sat up straight and smiled like a child seeing sesame candy.

Lu Qian turned around and picked up the things in Gouzi's hands, and put them all on the table.

The old courtyard leaned over and sniffed it, and was even more delighted, "That's the smell. Since your brother came from a long way, I will grant you a day off and come back early tomorrow."

Lu Qian thanked him, but he refused to move.

The old dean laughed and scolded, "What else?"

"Sir, the student would like to implore the sir to allow Cheng Ziheng and Liu Buqi to sleep together for one night. The student has something at home and needs their help."

"Oh, do you need the old man's help?"

"Thank you sir, the students can still deal with it."

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Qian thanked again, and finally saluted the two gentlemen before leaving.

Before he walked out of the courtyard, he heard the old servant shouting happily from the old courtyard, "Lu Zhong, hurry up and move the altar of lotus white, how can you be without wine as a companion with such delicious food?"

Lu Bo and Lu Qian smiled, beckoning him to go out by himself, and then called a servant to go with him to clean up the bowls, jars and glasses.

The two old gentlemen were a little surprised when they saw the appearance of the old courtyard, which had always been moody and indifferent, and couldn't help asking, "What is it that makes the dean so fond of it? Let's ask for a glass of wine." , followed by eye-opening."

The old yard made a look of pain, but still told the old servant to set up a wine table quickly.After all, the wife at home is going out to be a guest. If he is at home, I am afraid that he will be stopped from drinking and eating meat again. After all, he is old.

Seeing him like this, the two old gentlemen seemed to be joking, and they wanted to share a piece of the pie.

When the brown-red meat, which was as big as a mahjong block, was put into a small white porcelain bowl, the chopsticks almost broke in two when they touched it, and when it was delivered to the mouth, the soft, glutinous and salty taste was really indescribable.Coupled with a mouthful of lotus white, it would not change the status of a god...

Now, the two of them ate non-stop without persuasion, and the distressed old dean hurriedly asked the old servant to carry the remaining half of the jar.

The two gentlemen were dissatisfied and yelled at the old dean for being stingy, but there was nothing they could do, just make a few jokes.Fortunately, there are other appetizers prepared by the old servant.

The three of them ate, drank, chatted and laughed, enjoying a rare joy. After drinking for three rounds, they lost their scruples when talking.

One of the old gentlemen said to the old dean, "If you talk about poetry and articles, I don't agree with you at all. But I am not as good as you when you talk about Taoism and people. Junshi has now been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Back then He is just a poor boy, who would have thought that he would be here today?"

"Yeah, if you hadn't snatched him to the door, he would be my student now."

Another old man was also joking, which caused the old dean to blow his beard and stare at him to retort, "At the beginning, you didn't like Junshi, and it was a pity for the old man to accept his disciple. But he has worked hard today, as the saying goes He is ineffective, and he has come to the end of all hardships."

The two old gentlemen both nodded, thinking of the previous selection in the academy and the big exam next spring, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Nowadays, the world is peaceful for a long time, although the current emperor is trying his best to make a difference between the wealthy and the Han family. A bowl of water is flat, but it's always... hey, it's hard for a poor family to get ahead."

"It's just that Lu Qian, who has outstanding character and talent, but the Mingchun University Examination... has no backing, so it mostly depends on luck. When the time comes, it's better to let him go to Beijing earlier."

Hearing what the two old friends said, the old dean just took the wine glass and drank it down without answering a word.But the smile on the corner of his mouth turned slightly mysterious...

Besides, when Lu Qian returned to his dormitory, before he could pack up his things, Liu Buqi and Cheng Ziheng came to find him.

"Dejing! I heard that the second brother is coming, why don't you say something, I haven't seen the second brother for a long time?"

"That's right, the second brother came here by himself. He didn't bring anything to eat... Well, he didn't bring his family?"

The two said so, but their eyes were wandering around the room, and Gou Zi proudly covered his mouth with his sleeve and snickered.Fortunately, he moved quickly and packed everything up.

Lu Qian was funny, he greeted his friend to come in, and then knocked on his servant, "Don't be naughty, take out your things quickly. There is still business to do!"

Gouzi was not angry either, and scratched the back of his head with a smile, but instead opened the big box next to the bed and took out two packages.

"You two young masters, my young lady specially asked the second young master to bring this to you."

"Ah, we really have our share!"

Cheng Ziheng and Liu Buqi were so overjoyed that they dropped their books and ran over as soon as they heard that the Lu family was coming.To actually have my own gift, it’s like a fire in the cold winter, half a cup of tea in the summer, it’s so joyful.

The two quickly opened the package, revealing a large box and a folded piece of clothing.

The name was carefully pasted on the box, and the names of the snacks inside were written. They were all things that the two of them liked to eat when they were in Lu's house.

The clothes underneath were shaken off, which almost made tears come to my eyes.

I remember once when everyone gathered to drink and chat, they talked about how stingy Lu Qian was, and they would never lend them that light and warm cloak.

I don't want to, Xiaomi has it in mind, and it was delivered from such a long distance.

"Xiaomi is really... hey, I don't know what to say." Liu Buqi carefully put down the cloak in his hand, fearing that it would get scratched somewhere.

Chen Ziheng nodded again and again, and replied, "That's right, Xiaomi will be my sister in the future. When she gets married, I must give her half a dowry."

Gouzi snickered and tried his best not to tell the two that he also received a new coat and trousers prepared by his lady.

Lu Qian glanced at him, turned to his two friends and said, "Xiaomi is my sister, I will naturally prepare the dowry, so I don't need to bother you. If it spreads out, Xiaomi's reputation will be damaged first. However, Xiaomi also I have something important to entrust to you."

"Xiaomi is also my sister, so why not prepare a dowry for her?"

Cheng Ziheng was more cautious, and he wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Liu Buqi, "Xiaomi has encountered a difficult problem, what should we entrust to us?"

Lu Qian didn't want to say more, after all, this is an academy, and there are people coming and going outside, so he said, "Let's go, go outside and talk to my second brother."

Cheng Ziheng and Liu Buqi stared, and wanted to complain a few words, but they suddenly reacted, hugged Lu Qian's neck firmly, and said viciously, "The dean's closed disciple has a big face, and he usually flips his head. Get out of the wall, and follow your prestige today!"

The three of them talked and laughed, walked through the academy all the way, and found the Ping An Inn through the back door.

Lu Lao Er has been wandering outside since he was a child, sleeping on trees and in caves, which is commonplace.Now there is a bed and bedding, even if it is not as comfortable as at home, it does not delay his rest.

When the three of Lu Qian found him, he was snoring soundly.

Lu Qian felt sorry for his brother's hard work, so he ordered the waiter in the shop to prepare food and drinks, and then ate with his two friends while talking in a low voice.

Speaking of which, both Liu Buqi and Cheng Ziheng have younger sisters in their family. They have been locked up in a deep boudoir since they were young, and they have to think twice about every step. If they are placed elsewhere, they will be quiet and courteous. But after they met Xiaomi, they often couldn't help it. sigh.

There is nothing wrong with girls being sharper and hotter, at least life is lively and interesting.

Compared to Xiaomi, who is like an elf, their sister is like a porcelain doll, and she is as beautiful as she is beautiful, but she lacks that kind of spirituality.

And ever since they met Lu Qian, the two of them have never missed Xiaomi's care, not to mention that when they were guests at Lu's house, what they ate and wore was not taken care of by Xiaomi.

The two sincerely treat Xiaomi like a half-sister. They were a little impatient when they heard Lu Qian say that Xiaomi had something to entrust.

Seeing Lu Qian pouring wine and vegetables slowly now, Cheng Ziheng became impatient, grabbed the jug with his chubby hand, and asked, "Dejing, what do you want us to do with Xiaomi?" help?"

"That's right, in case it's urgent, we'd better arrange it as soon as possible."

Seeing them like this, Lu Qian was not only not angry, but happy to have such a close friend.So he put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "It's not an urgent matter. You also know that the noodle shop at home has started work a long time ago, and the vermicelli and other things it produces sell for a tael of silver a catty. The business is booming, right?"

"I know, although the vermicelli is not worth eating, it tastes really good, and it's our first portion, so the business should be booming." Liu Buqi interjected, but Cheng Ziheng changed the subject when he opened his mouth, "Yes. , Speaking of which, did Xiaomi bring some vermicelli this time?"

Liu Buqi glared at him fiercely, and asked directly, "Did Xiaomi encounter difficulties from outsiders?"

He had a basis for asking this question. After all, the three of them rushed to file a complaint because the mountain was robbed. Now the vermicelli business is the only huge profit, and it is reasonable to be coveted.Of course, what they didn't expect was that Xiaomi had the most solid and solid backer, and this matter never had to be considered.

Lu Qian heard that the two were getting more and more biased, so he stopped teasing them and said carefully, "That's not the case, Xiaomi sent the letter to the second brother, and there is no ground egg at home, and it is too troublesome to transport from north to south. She knows that your family is located in Haizhou and Quanzhou, so she wants to cooperate with you two to set up a workshop."
