When Lu Baichuan came back from doing business, he happened to see Old Man Lu coming out of the teahouse, so he came back together.

Mr. 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 probably had something to say to his daughter-in-law. Mrs. Sun was very discerning, so she grabbed old man Lu and left, leaving some space for him. They are a couple.

"What's wrong?"

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 still have someone in Dongting, or there may be a spy in the court, and I have been investigating."

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

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, you can just take care of it, there is no need to rush this kind of thing."

Lu Baichuan responded: "Well, by the way, I received Qin Jian's letter I believe it, saying that the mine has been taken over, and all the local officials involved with King Xun have been arrested. They are on their way back to Beijing, and Chengzhou should be there soon."

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

Qin firmly believed that the words in his words were not ordinary excitement. Zhong praised his wife's medicine for how miraculous it was, saving all of 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 together.

So, he didn’t 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 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 increased. Before, some people would look at them with disdain, but no longer.

Even if you don’t take the initiative to say hello, you will smile and express your gratitude.

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

This time Zhang Lanxiang and Liu Yuexiang also came. They were still a little uncomfortable, but they felt comfortable following Lianhua all the time.It's okay, at least there won't be any unsighted 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 Queen Mother and other palace family members had to attend. It was extremely lively and naturally prone to problems. The scene was strictly controlled and decisions were made. We are not allowed to cause any unsightly things to disturb 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 they went home to rest.

The most humane thing is that on the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, all officials can take 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 credit for it, and everyone looked happy.

Before the banquet began, 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 prominently among the list, and he received the reward mercilessly, which made many people feel bad.

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.

At this time, there were still people who had not recovered from the sour water they had just been rewarded, 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 here I'm studying in the Imperial College. I wonder if I can take the exam?"

He smiled brightly, just like an ordinary elder who wanted to test the children's homework in the school. He was so friendly and couldn't refuse.

But He Jiu Niang still refused: "Master Zhang, as you are celebrating the festival, please don't embarrass your children. Is the food in front of you not delicious?"

Hearing He Jiu Niang's words, Zhang Wentao's face suddenly 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.

It happened that He Jiu Niang was an alternative among women. She even outshone the men in the limelight. Even when the emperor just gave the reward, he specifically stated that He Jiu Niang had a share in the reward given to Lu Baichuan.

It’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 naturally he is not afraid of taking the entrance examination., Besides, courage must be practiced from a young age. Today is just an opportunity, so Mrs. Lu should not be disappointed. "

Said she was a disappointment, and He Jiuniang immediately felt unhappy. Just as she was about to retaliate, Lu Baichuan said: "My family never requires children to be outstanding, let alone perform in front of so many people. Own. Today is a holiday and the whole country is celebrating, why would Mr. Zhang embarrass a child? ”

It’s easy for people to misunderstand what they said. They think that Gou’er may really be a scumbag. The rumors he heard before were all deliberately fabricated by the Lu family.

"Hahaha, General Lu is angry? Oops, I don’t have any 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 of his voice very loudly and snorted coldly, looking down on others.

Then, as if he was deliberately showing off, he called his son Get up and take the exam in public.

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

But fortunately, he didn’t make any big mistakes and his answers were quite satisfactory.

Although his behavior was very annoying, some people still praised him, so there were others. Several teenagers were called up to answer questions.

Coincidentally, the teenagers 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. He doesn’t want to offend too many people.

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

The couple from the Lu family are too much in the limelight and they must find someone to vent their feelings to. Otherwise, he won’t be able to sleep tonight.

After taking the exam, he praised everyone one by one, and the atmosphere became harmonious again.

At this time, The troubled person spoke up: "General Lu, Mr. Zhang has no ill intentions. He is just testing the children's homework, so you don't need to be too nervous. ”
