Chapter 272 Lu Mingfeng Gets Married (1)
Fortunately, Zhao Yanjie was interested in the other people in the house, and the only ones who really cared about him were Mrs. Lu and Lu Mingxuan. Given him a chance to meet and talk with Lu Mingxuan alone, he has no regrets in his heart.

Lu Mingxuan got Mrs. Lu's order in advance, and made two purses for "the number one scholar" with Zhao Yanjie, and prepared a test basket. It's his business whether Zhao Yanjie can use it or not after returning to Yuezhou. With her kindness, after the banquet, the two of them talked in Mrs. Lu's west room, and they joined Zhao Yanjie together.

Because Zhao Yanjie saw that she was wearing an ivory lotus-patterned plain hang silk narrow-sleeved gown, an emerald-blue skirt with thread-stirring, two coral stone beaded flowers on her temples, and gold-encrusted bluestone earrings hanging from her ears. But it made her face more and more white and clean like a lotus, and her heart couldn't help but feel hot and hot. She felt that she had something to say to her, but she didn't know where to start. In the end, she didn't say anything, she just said something dumbly. : "I will do my best this time, and I will never let my cousin suffer with me..."

Lu Mingxuan saw that his face was flushed red, and he was so nervous that he didn't know how to let go of his hands and feet. Her heart softened, and it was rare to feel tenderness, because she said softly, "Brother Zhao, don't be nervous. It's up to people to make things happen." God, you are still young, even if you can't get what you want this time, you will definitely get what you want next time, I... am not afraid of suffering, and I will always share weal and woe with you in the future..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yanjie was so happy that he didn't even know how to let go of his hands and feet. He wanted to express his heart again, but it was a pity that Madam Zhang's voice came from outside: "Old Madam, Master Biao, please go over and talk."

He didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he had no choice but to say to Lu Mingxuan: "Cousin takes care!" He took another deep look at Lu Mingxuan, and then reluctantly left.

After sending Zhao Yanjie away, the marriage between the two of them was considered a certainty, and it would only be settled when Zhao Yanjie came back from Yuezhou. Therefore, when Lu Mingxuan was free occasionally, she would take needles and thread to make shoes with Zhao Yanjie. When he comes back, I will see you off.

After meeting Danqing several times, he still couldn't help whispering to Lu Mingxuan: "Miss, you really have made up your mind and there is no room for change? Mr. Zhao is not bad, but I always feel that he is not the most suitable one. Miss, is it true that the girl no longer thinks about it?"

Lu Mingxuan knew what Danqing wanted to say, but the matter had come to this point, so there was no room for her to think about it, but Ling Mengqi had already been heartbroken by her, so how could she turn back?He just said: "How do you know that Mr. Zhao is not the most suitable person for me, like a person who drinks water and knows it by himself, as long as I know that he is the most suitable person for me."

As she said that, she remembered that it would be Ling Mengqi's birthday in a while, and thought that in his situation, if she didn't give him a birthday present, no one would remember to give it to him, because she told Danqing: "How soon will you I went to Sunrise Mansion and asked Master Xiaochi to pick something similar to last year and deliver it to Young Master Ling before his birthday, anyway, we are also friends."

Danqing agreed sullenly, and after a few days, he really went out, but when he came back, he said to Lu Mingxuan: "Master Xiaochi chose an ancient sword to give to Mr. Ling, but Mr. Ling received the task before the first month of the month. I went to Beijing. I heard that if it goes well, I can come back in a year or so. If it doesn’t go well, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back in three to five years or even my whole life. Huzi also went with him. Master Xiaochi didn’t dare I entrusted someone else to hand over such a valuable thing, so I had to take it back and ask the girl what should I do?"

'If it doesn't go well, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for three to five years or even a lifetime'?
Lu Mingxuan was taken aback by these words, and her first reaction was to go to Lu Wenzhu to find out what mission Ling Mengqi had set out, and how difficult and dangerous it was, so it took so long. Qi has always been on good terms with Lu Wenzhu, so she should be able to find out by asking Lu Wenzhu... But she still didn't ask after all, it has reached this point, what's the point of her asking these again, anyway, she is not too old now, just She and Zhao Yanjie won't get married in a short time, if Ling Mengqi can come back safely then that's fine, if not, she will go with Ling Mengqi, so that she can not only live up to Zhao Yanjie, but also satisfy Ling Mengqi. Meng Qi also fulfilled his own heart!

In August, after Lu Mingxuan celebrated her 12th birthday, Zhao Yanjie sent a letter. Of course, he didn't dare to say thank you by name and said it was for Lu Mingxuan. He only dared to write "Aunt and Grandmother Qi" on the envelope. Anyway, Mrs. Lu knew about it. Lu Mingxuan naturally knew about it.

The letter said that he had passed the government examination in June, and now he is a scholar, and he is preparing for the provincial examination in August, please rest assured Mrs. Lu; he also said that his uncles and grandparents had arranged for him to get rid of his uniform. He could leave for Beijing after the results of the township examination were released in early October; at the end of the letter, he dared to greet Lu Mingxuan in a small way.

Yuezhou is more than a month away from the capital, even if the letter is sent to Beijing through the post station, it will take at least [-] days. After reading the letter, Mrs. Lu counted her fingers, because she said to Madam Zhang with a smile on her face. : "According to now, Yanjie has already participated in the township examination, and now he just waits for the results to be announced. I hope there will be good news as soon as possible."

Nanny Zhang said with a smile: "Master Biao passed the government examination in one fell swoop. It can be seen that he is really talented and learned as the gentlemen boasted in the past. You can just wait for the good news. To put it bluntly, it is Master Biao failed this subject, he is only 17 years old now, and he was only 20 years old when he passed the next subject, how many 20-year-old Juren are there in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty?" Lu Mingxuan who was on the side joked again, "That's why I said Our Miss Xuan is a very lucky person, in the future, we will just wait for Feng Guanxia's gift."

Lu Mingxuan blushed, stomped her feet and said angrily, "Nurse is here to laugh at me again, I won't accept it if this goes on." But she was not so happy because Zhao Yanjie was selected as a scholar, because she knew Zhao Yanjie this year She will pass the government examination and the rural examination in one fell swoop, but now she is just listening to the results that she knew early in the morning, so even if she is happy, there is a limit.

Besides, Lu Mingxuan has always had a shadow in her heart. Since she sent Master Xiaochi to give Ling Mengqi a birthday gift in April, it has been more than four months, but Ling Mengqi still has no news back to the capital. She really can't bear it. I can't help worrying, is something wrong with him?In short, if she didn't hear the news of Ling Mengqi's safe return, she couldn't rest assured for a day.

After hanging on for another ten days like this, and seeing that Ling Mengqi still had no news back to the capital, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but one day when Lu Wen came over to greet Mrs. Lu, she took advantage of everyone's attention and sent Lu Wen After being blocked, he asked directly after saluting, "Fifth Brother, do you know what mission Ling Shixiong is going out of Beijing this time, how come there is no news for such a long time, and when will he come back?"
