As soon as everyone sat down, Lu Baichuan came back.

He Jiuniang teased him: "Mr. Lu, you are really lucky. Come on, I'll leave you alone!"

Lu Baichuan also felt strange when he saw this scene and said: "Mr. Kang, The banquet has been brought to the house!"

Everyone laughed for a while. Lu Baichuan sat down and drank some wine with Kang Xiucai. The other children also said some interesting things, but no one mentioned the lotus flower. things so that she would not feel embarrassed in front of everyone.

He Jiuniang secretly observed Lotus's performance. She was actually a little nervous at first. Later, she was exaggerated by everyone's atmosphere, and she slowly relaxed, and she could tell jokes along with the others.

At first, Mr. Kang told the children that they must study hard and that all of them would be admitted to the National People's Government. Later, he drank too much and kept talking about the things he had experienced in his life. .

First, he said that he was weak and sick. Even if he was admitted to the scholar examination, his body could not support the examination. Later, he met He Jiuniang and others. He was so lucky. It was the greatest blessing in his life.

Immediately afterwards, he talked about Meng Zhang again, saying that he didn’t know people well, so he would be framed by such a person. Similarly, if it weren’t for the help of He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan, this matter would not be like this. Solved easily.

Then there was another burst of emotion, gratitude to the Lu family.

Lu Baichuan and his wife have heard him say it many times, but they have never interrupted him. After such an experience, these friendships are indeed enough for him to remember for the rest of his life. He often talks about it. , proving that he is a benevolent person and understands how much the Lu family has helped him.

Tonight was said to be a banquet, but in fact it was just a small dinner party, but Kang Xiucai was still very happy and always toasted to Lu Baichuan.

"Mr. Kang, it is better to drink less. Drinking too much wine will harm your health."

In fact, they were more elegant tonight, using the kind of wine that could only be pretended It's a small wine cup with 4 or 5 milliliters. It's okay to drink a few more cups, but He Jiuniang is still worried that he will drink up like last time, which will be dangerous.

He was originally weak before. Although he is better now, he still needs to take good care of him. Who knows when the disease will come to visit him again?

Kang Xiucai nodded repeatedly and said: "I know, so I changed to a smaller one tonight, hahahaha!"

As he said that, he also showed off to He Jiuniang In his hand is a very small wine cup.

He Jiuniang: ...Thank you, I am so cute.

The children ate very quickly. After they were full, they ran to study and do their homework. Originally, Lianhua felt that she was too old to leave early, but He Jiuniang still let her go., and also asked Yueshu to take care of it and not let her have any other ideas.

Although after observing like this, she felt that Lianhua would never do stupid things again, but no one could say for sure about this kind of thing. Maybe Lianhua would still be sad when she thought about it when she went back, and she acted in a moment of excitement. ?

The three people at the dinner table basically talked about everything, because they were at home, and they were more concerned about who they were. Sometimes they talked about farm matters, and sometimes they talked about things in the court.

Kang Xiucai drank too much and dared to comment on the old emperor. He kept saying that some of the things the old emperor did were very wrong.

"His Royal Highness Chen is such a good person. He has always been doing things for the people. Not only does he not give rewards, but he even suppresses them everywhere. Alas! I really don't know what he thinks!"< br />
"If one day, I can stand in the court, I must ask him why he is so unfair to His Highness King Chen!"

"Hahaha, it is like this now I have said it, but I don’t know if I dare to do it then! Hahahahaha, let’s talk about it then!”

　…

He Jiuniang silently glanced at Lu Baichuan, and sure enough, It's because of drunkenness and cowardice that Kang Xiucai dared to say such things!

Lu Baichuan looked at her and smiled in a tacit understanding, and also advised Kang Xiucai to drink less.

When Kang Xiucai met them before, he was still very unfamiliar, and he mostly used modest words. Now he is better, and he doesn’t even claim to be a subordinate, and talks about you and me.

But they all quite liked Kang Xiucai. He was so knowledgeable and he would not be like other people who were too lazy to study and only believed in one dead idea.

In terms of knowledge, Kang Xiucai was a very adaptable person, otherwise he would not have done so well in knowledge.

With such a person as a role model, the children in the family will not be any worse.

It wasn’t until the moon reached the treetops that Kang Xiucai felt that he should go and stood up to say goodbye to them.

Tonight, Kang Xiucai was just drunk, but he was not completely drunk. At least he was still conscious. He didn't stagger when he got up and walked, which was much better than last time.

"Sir, stay!"

Lu Baichuan stood up and waved to Xu Yong who was standing not far away. Xu Yong hurried over and offered what he had in his hand.

Lu Baichuan took it, walked around the table to Kang Xiucai, and handed the thing in his hand to him.

"The spring exams are just around the corner. Mr. Kang went home and went to the capital as soon as possible to prepare for the exams. He went in advance. It was convenient for both the place where he lived and the college he needed to contact. The money was not much, but Please accept it, sir."

Attending a banquet requires giving gifts. They had already planned not to give gifts but to give money directly. This is what Kang Xiucai really lacks.

If he gave a gift, although it was valuable, Kang Xiucai would definitely be embarrassed to sell it because it was given by them, and he would continue to live a life of poverty.

Kang Xiucai stared blankly at the stack of banknotes, which amounted to five or six hundred taels at least. They were heavy in his hand, and he woke up from the drunkenness as soon as he got a little drunk.

"Third Master, this is..."

He didn't know what to say. Although he did need this money now, the amount of money was too much. Huge, it is very likely that he will never earn so much in his life, so how can he dare to accept it?

"Sir, please accept it. This is all our kindness. When you go to the capital this time, there are many places to spend money. These are nothing. Don't be polite to us."

He Jiuniang smiled and her tone was very soft, making people unable to bear to refuse.

But Kang Xiucai still resisted the temptation and wanted to stuff the money back, but Lu Baichuan took two steps back in advance, leaving him no chance to stuff it.

"Master Lu, you have helped me too much, how can I charge so much money!"

Kang Xiucai was a little anxious, such a big gift He really couldn't stand it.

What virtues and abilities do you have to ask them to help you like this?

Even if he is the enlightenment teacher of a group of children, he is not worthy of what they have to do for themselves.

"Sir, please accept it, we are not giving this money for free."

Lu Baichuan didn't want to push him for too long, so he spoke straightforwardly.

Kang Xiucai was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lu Baichuan meant.

Was it borrowed?

That’s okay, in the future, if he makes money, he will definitely return it in full!

Lu Baichuan then said: "Mr. Kang is a great talent, and he will definitely pass the imperial examination to high school. This time, Lu did not talk about friendship with Mr. Kang, but only about interests."
