Chapter 238

After he finished speaking, he went into the conservatory and shouted loudly, "Dali, Cuilan, come out quickly, the third child is here, someone is coming home!"

Jiang Dali and Cuilan were watering the vegetables, and they could hear the sound of running out, but they couldn't be more happy. They pulled the skirts of their clothes to wipe off the dirt on their hands, and then they boiled tea and prepared snacks.

Soon, several other villagers in Xiaozhuang also ran over.

Everyone has been out for a long time, and they never went back during the Chinese New Year. Naturally, they miss their family members.One asked if the family members were healthy, and the other asked how everyone was doing in the new year.

Lu Qian answered carefully one by one, and finally said, "Xiaomi has already found a good manpower, and the ancestral hall and school will be built in the spring. Outside the mountain pass, the villagers of Zhaojia Village will also build houses. New courtyards are built on both sides of Fuju and Yi'an Hall, and we are planning to marry a new wife."

"Okay, okay." Li Wuye stroked his beard and smiled, "The life at home is so prosperous, I want to go back to the old man."

Jiang Dali and Cuilan were also itchy, so they said, "In two months, the greenhouse will be almost fully planted, and we will go back with you when the time comes."

Lu Qian also smiled and said, "It's the same at home. It is said that after February, we will not grow vegetables. The elders plan to raise corn seedlings. In addition to giving some to their relatives and friends, the rest will be given to the nearby villagers."

"This is a good thing!"

Li Wuye clapped his hands and agreed, "Don't talk about our hometown, it's near Kyoto. Occasionally, in some years, it will freeze before the corn is harvested. If you plant corn seedlings directly, it will really guarantee a bumper harvest." gone."

Jiang Dali also nodded, "Our small village, I heard that it hadn't had a good harvest for several years, and the former owner just sold it off."

Lu Qian's heart moved, he thought for a while and said, "I have free time in a few days, I will discuss it with Brother Chen, if everyone is not too tired, the restaurant will not be affected, why don't we grow some corn seedlings here and distribute them?" Neighbors nearby."

"Really?"

Cui Lan usually dealt with the neighbors around her, so she laughed when she heard this, "When the news gets out, our threshold will be trampled. It is said that the capital is prosperous, but in fact it is just that the wealthy people are better. The common people are no better than us in Bei'an. In autumn, when we harvest more grain, everyone must be happy."

Everyone talked and laughed like this for a while, and seeing that the sky was about to darken, Cuilan made a fuss about cooking dinner, planning to keep Lu Qian and the three of them drinking overnight.

But Lu Qian hadn't drank less during the three noon days, thinking about getting up to study and do homework tomorrow morning, so he strongly declined.

Cuilan feels sorry for her, and always feels that she has treated her family badly.

Fortunately, Li Wuye said, "The third child is not going to leave in a few days, and the diary is still growing. Let him study hard first, and when he is named on the gold list, we must celebrate it."

Cuilan and the others didn't give up after hearing this, but they found out that the Cheng family's servants took care of their three meals a day, so they loaded some vegetables into the car, as well as two hens raised in the village.

Lu Qian bid farewell to everyone and went back to Cheng's yard. He simply ate a bowl of hot noodle soup, and then drank some hot tea after a while. The drunkenness left at noon was completely gone.

At this time, Liu Buqi and Cheng Ziheng regretted offending Liu Junsheng today.

"Dejing, do you think Liu Junsheng will trip us up behind our backs? Then Liu Shilang looks like a man, he doesn't know how to protect our weaknesses, right?"

"That's right, when I watched Liu Junsheng leave, my face turned blue."

Lu Qian raised his hand to pour tea for them. Thinking of someone, he felt a little complicated, but he still said firmly, "Don't worry, this exam must be the fairest. As long as we have the ability, we will definitely not be buried."

Liu Buqi was still a little worried, but when he suddenly remembered something, he smiled and said, "Oh, it's my obsession, why did I forget? This year's chief examiner is Li Yushi, we met him, and he is the most unselfish, Even if you don't give us convenience, you won't help others get in trouble, will you?"

"Then shall we pay a visit?"

Cheng Ziheng also showed a smiling face, preparing for the exam is a big tree to enjoy the shade, they don't want to be special, but they don't want to waste the existing contacts.

"I don't think it's necessary to go. At this time, the Li family may want to thank him behind closed doors to prove fairness."

Lu Qian was so happy that the two friends took out Li Lin as a shield, "Let's go to bed early, and start writing the topic tomorrow, and sir will check it the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, as long as others don't cheat, it's just a fuss. Who are we afraid of?"

"That's right, sleep, get up early and read."

The three of them chatted a few more gossips, and finally went back to their rooms, really resting early.

But not far away, the small courtyard where the old dean lives is bustling right now.

The teachers and students hadn't seen each other for many years, plus the other officials who had come to visit, as well as the professors and students of the Taixue, gathered for more than forty people.

The old dean directly asked the old servant to go to the restaurant and ordered five tables of banquets, which filled the small yard.

As the most promising apprentice of the old dean, Liu Yu was naturally complimented and respected by everyone.

The Liu family also came from a poor family, and they suffered countless hardships when they were studying. Now in front of their teachers, Liu Yu has a great sense of honor to return home.

Satisfied in his heart, he drank a few more glasses. It was the moment when he was slightly drunk and comfortable, but a servant came and whispered something in his ear.

Liu Yu thought she was very drunk, but she misheard, and asked again in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"

The servant had no choice but to repeat it again, "Master, the third young master met Mr. Lu Qian and Mr. Lu in front of the Xiyangyang Restaurant earlier. The two had an argument and made a bet and lottery. As a result, Lu Qian It turned out to be the happy owner, so the young master would inevitably lose. But Lu Qian was too deceitful and forced the young master to yell three times on the street...'I'm an idiot'! The young master is mad and losing his temper at home, the madam is in a hurry No, send the villain to invite the master, and go home early."

This servant was originally serving in front of Liu Junsheng, so when he spoke, he naturally had his own preferences, preferring his own young master, accusing Lu Qian of bullying the younger and using despicable means.

Although Liu Yu knew that his son was a bit incompetent, but he was his own son, and his protective temper came up, so he had a bad face.

The others were not fools, so they could see the advances and retreats. Some people had even heard about the bet before they came to the door, so they couldn't help but look a little weird at the moment.

As Liu Yu guessed, his complexion became even worse.

The old dean was smiling and gossiping with some old friends of the Taixue. Occasionally, he saw the proud disciple like this, so he called the old servant to inquire.

The old servant made it clear in a few words, and the old dean couldn't help raising his eyebrows, feeling a little funny in his heart.

His youngest disciple, who is usually the most respectful and considerate, is so sharp today, and he used his nephew as a cock to scare the monkey, which is really beyond his expectation.

However, it was Liu Yu who disappointed him the most.

Money captivates the eye, but power corrupts the heart.

Having been in Kyoto for many years, the poor family's children finally changed their appearance...

Liu Yu didn't notice it at all at the moment, and the teacher was a little disappointed with him.His mind was full of anger, thinking that he, the minister of the official department, was swept away by Yi Shanye Xiaoer, how will he walk in the capital in the future?
"Teacher, this disciple is incapacitated, so I will take my leave today. Teacher will be free some other day, and disciple will come to see me again."

The old dean waved his hand, but didn't keep anyone, and replied, "Go back, man, self-cultivation is fundamental, and you will teach an article to come up some other day."

Liu Yu was taken aback for a moment, but his expression got worse, but he still bowed his head and said, "Yes, teacher, this disciple will leave."

After that, he quickly walked out of the courtyard.

Everyone is a smart person, even if they know the reason, no one will seriously say it.

This one talked about interesting things in Kyoto, and that one talked about the incompetent student in the Taixue, and soon, the yard became lively again.

But the banquet always ended, and as the guests returned home, rumors that Liu Shilang was reprimanded by his husband spread all over the capital.

Naturally, Lu Qian, the cheerful and mysterious boss, the old dean's closed disciple, became known to everyone overnight.

There are different opinions. Some people say that Lu Qian disrespected his senior brother and disrespected etiquette.He also said that Lu Qian showed his sharpness and was a young man.

But no matter what they said, Lu Qian didn't know anymore. He was locked in the Cheng family's small courtyard every day, except for three meals and sleeping, just studying hard.

The servants of the Cheng family went shopping, even if they heard the rumors, they would not speak out at such a time to distract the masters.

What's more, ever since Lu Qian's master and servant moved in, he would give away green vegetables and meat for his joyful work every day, and there were countless snacks and dried fruits.

Not to mention that the Cheng family saved a lot of expenses, the servants of them also followed suit.Naturally, everyone hopes that Lu Qian can study in peace and stay longer.

Of course, this is all for later. Besides, Liu Yu went home full of anger. Seeing his wife sitting in the hall crying, he reprimanded angrily, "Why are you crying? You have a good son. Besides embarrassing the Liu family, what else will it be?"

Mrs. Liu cried even more when she heard the words, "Master, I'm sorry for saying this. You are usually outside. When did you have time to take care of your son? I don't care. Could it be that he is left to fend for himself? People bullied you, so it’s fine if you don’t support your son, and you actually help outsiders to scold your own son... Wuwu, my son, why are you so miserable!"

Liu Yu unbuttoned his collar annoyed, and wanted to scold a few more words, but he couldn't bear it. His wife was married into the family when he was poor. Apart from doting on the children, there was nothing wrong with him for so many years, and he couldn't be too strict.

"Forget it, you go and tell that Nizi to stay at home and study before the big exam, and if he dares to go out and make himself ashamed, I'll break his leg!"

After all, he flicked his sleeves and went to the wing room in the backyard. The gentle and pleasant concubine is the best person to appease his anger at this time.

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she tore off the veil after hearing the servant girl's report, but after all, she saved her son from a good fight, she didn't care about others, and hurried to the nearby yard.

Liu Junsheng's room was smashed into a mess like a typhoon passing through right now.
