The spring was bright and the sun was warm, and at the Xijiao Yard, Lu Zheng stood in the middle of the yard, rubbing ink and spreading paper, and writing attentively.
He is highly concentrated, fully dedicated, and forgets everything.
Lu Zheng's current calligraphy has achieved small achievements. This is all his credit for writing large characters and practicing calligraphy. Since his journey, Lu Zheng has never slackened regardless of cold or heat.
"My son, you are now the leader of the trial case! The second master gave you another three thousand taels of silver. Uncle Qi has already brought the silver back!" Si Qi stood opposite Lu Zheng, looking down at him. , Lowered his voice.
"Hmm!" Lu Zheng hummed softly, without pausing in his hands.
"My son, the big grandma brought you rose cakes from the mountain. They are your favorite flavors. I have asked quietly. The big grandma knows that you won the first two cases and is very happy!" Huamei said again.
Lu Zheng didn't speak this time, his expression was still serious, and he wrote seriously.
"Master, today Master Chen Gui and Master Qin Yue invite you to a banquet again! The venue is listening to the Yuge painting boat, and it is said that Miss Qilan is personally accompanying you!" Xiaozhu said again.
"Rejected for me, just say that I feel cold and unwell, so I won't go anymore!" Lu Zheng said lightly, but he didn't relax at all when he said this. He still focused on his pen and was meticulous.
Xiaozhu and the other three girls looked at each other, all disappointed, and finally retreated.
The three girls went from the courtyard to the main hall. Ying'er was studying and said, "Sister Ying'er, what's the matter with the son? Both have won the first case. I don't see that he has the slightest slack, but is getting worse. I worked hard, and I stayed behind closed doors all day long. I didn't go to banquets outside. He didn't accept other people's greetings.
We've all asked, there is no problem at all for the talents of the young boy and boy in the test. They are already in high school, why is it still so unkind, the son will not be a nerd studying, right? "
Ying'er put down the book in her hand, glanced at the three girls in front of her, and said: "You three hoofs, you only know how to show up in one day. In the past few days, I think you are wildly addicted? Are you still thinking about letting the son? Like you, are you also going outside Tiantianye?"
When Ying'er said this, Xiao Zhu and the other three laughed, and Siqi said: "Sister Ying'er, we can't be blamed for this. We are slaves who are servants and the master is expensive. Our son has a good life, and we are slaves. The status has naturally risen, and that is how it was originally!"
Si Qi talked with a smile, and both Huamei and Xiaozhu were beside him. They have enjoyed the scenery in Zhang's house these days, and everyone looked at them highly wherever they went.
The little girls all tried their best to please them, and changed their way to talk to them. Is there any girl in the Zhang family who doesn't envy them?
The brother Lu Zhengzheng they are serving can now be the first in the county and government examinations. Yangzhou is number one. This is a great name. Those who have come to the Zhang family to post these days will have to step on the threshold of the door. It's flat, they all want to see Brother Zheng!
Among these people, many of them are Yangzhou talents who are rarely seen, and some even guests who Zhang Jiahua could not invite, are now coming to post posts one after another, which shows Lu Zheng's reputation.
Si Qi and the other girls were naturally very happy, but they were also very puzzled. In their eyes, Lu Zheng is so powerful, why did he work hard as before?
Even more diligent than before. I used to go out every other time, but now I don’t go out at all. I start to write and read every day when I get up in the morning, and read by candlelight until late at night.
Lu Zheng's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, but he turns a deaf ear to all of this. Those talented guys are asking to come to meet with Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng all shied away. The girls in Siqi really don't understand why the son Do you want this?
"Well, you three girls don't make trouble anymore. The son is dedicated to studying and not tempted by fame and fortune. This is a very high state. How can you be like ordinary people, with a little achievement, and be proud of your tail?
Are talents like Gongzi the ones who really make big things? Let me tell you that in the eyes of the young master, a small talent is nothing at all. His goal is to go to the capital to participate in the meeting and palace exams, and to worship the emperor at the Golden Temple! do you know? "Ying'er said.
After all, Yinger had read books, and his knowledge was not comparable to that of Siqi and other little girls. When she said these words, Siqi and the others opened their mouths wide.
In their small world, the Zhang family advocated that Chengxi was a big man, and Liang Quanyi, the prefect of Yangzhou, was a first-class official. In the world outside of Yangzhou, they did not dare to imagine.
In addition to Yangzhou, it is said that there is the province of Zhili, and above the province there is the Dakang Dynasty. According to this, the capital of the Dakang Dynasty is more than a thousand miles away. The place where the emperor lived is said to be larger than Yangzhou City. There are three thousand beauties among them, all serving the emperor alone.
They knew that these were all insights gained on the stage or when they heard about the storyteller. Now they heard that Lu Zheng would worship the emperor in the Jinluan Temple in the future. They all felt their hearts were surging, and Lu Zheng was in their hearts. The image is elevated again.
"Tsk, tusk, if there is one day, we don't know if we can see it, will the son take us to see the world?" Si Qi said.
"You want to be beautiful, once the son leaves Yangzhou, our sisters should be separated! After all, we are the girls of the Zhang family, and the son's identity is subtle. Where can we take us away?" Hua Mei said.
Xiaozhu frowned slightly, and said, "Huamei, you are not right. We are a few girls, but what about sister Yinger? Is it possible that sister Cheng Yinger can't follow the son? She is the son's next big girl! "
When Xiaozhu said this, both Huamei and Siqi were speechless, and the three of them turned their eyes to Ying'er almost at the same time. Ying'er's hand shook slightly, a heart beating "bang", her cheeks dyed red, her expression embarrassed.
Numerous thoughts suddenly appeared in her mind, and her heart was a little flustered. She had thought about this question too, but she had never had an answer.
Yinger's temperament should be strong, noble, maid's life, young lady's temper. She also gradually matured and grew up after she had followed Lu Zheng. From Lu Zheng's experience, she deeply felt people's three-six-nine-class.
She Ying'er is a girl. She was spoiled by an old lady in Zhang Jiaheng before, and after her mistress gave her to Lu Zheng, Ying'er experienced a lot of cold eyes during that time!
Now Ying'er is Lu Zheng's girl. If Lu Zheng really leaves Yangzhou, she really doesn't know where she should go.
"Don't talk nonsense, how can you talk about things about the son? Even if the son wants to leave, it must be after he has won the talent, it is still early!" Ying'er said.
She didn't want to chat with the three little girls anymore, and changed the front of the conversation: "Well, you girls know everything to play and don't look at the time. Why don't you go to prepare meals? Let the son be hungry at noon? "
Ying'er sent three girls, and Lu Zheng in the yard was still working hard to write big characters. Generally speaking, Lu Zheng would write until noon, and then delve into the essays in the afternoon and write at least three essays.
In the evening, it was time for reading. Lu Zheng was reading in the order of the sub-collections of Scriptures and History. The classics have been completely read. Now he is reading Zhuzi, and he has asked the shopkeeper Gu to give away the books three times.
She sighed softly. In Ying'er's mind, she also had the same thoughts as Siqi and the others. Seeing Lu Zheng worked so hard, she also had opinions in her mind.
Lu Zheng used to work hard for the boy test, but now the boy test has already passed the test, why is he still working so hard?
Yangzhou is such a big place. Lu Zheng should take advantage of this time when the limelight is booming to go out to meet more friends. One is to make a name for himself, but to consolidate his status as a talent in Yangzhou.
The so-called one piece, one piece, the way of civil and martial arts, Lu Zheng always tightens the string, why bother?
She paced slowly into the yard and watched Lu Zheng write carefully. After Lu Zheng finished writing a large letter, she quickly handed Lu Zheng a towel and said, "My son, look at your sweaty head, wipe it! "
Lu Zheng took the sweat towel and wiped off the sweat on his face. Ying'er took this opportunity to say: "My son, it's been spread out recently, saying that my son won the first place in the government exam, but the hospital exam is hopeless! My son! Do you know why this is?"
Lu Zheng smiled lightly, and said, "Ying'er, do you trust those nonsense too? The world likes to spread rumors, or to spread falsehoods, you can't believe it!"
Yinger said: "It's not a rumor. It was Young Master Chen Gui. He said that Young Master had offended the young lady of Duanmu's family and made Master Xuezheng Su upset. You must know that Miss Duanmu's Yangzhou's No. 1 beauty is bestowed by Master Su. of.
You humiliated Miss Duanmu in such a way, how can you put the face of Lord Su? He is now the chief examiner, I am afraid he will have opinions on you! "
Lu Zheng was stunned. He laughed and said, "I said it wasn't a rumor. After I read it, it was all a rumor! What status and status is Master Su? How many beauties have he seen?
Duanmu family is a merchant's home, even if Master Su had praised Duanmu Wanrong, I am afraid it was just a sentence later, he himself probably forgot it!
It happened that someone who had something good said that Duanmu Wanrong was the number one beauty, and even brought this matter to the hospital test, which is really making people laugh! "
Lu Zheng put down his pen while speaking, and said, "Okay, I'm done with the big calligraphy today, Ying'er, collect all the pen and ink. I will work hard in the study in the afternoon."
"My son, can't it be done today. I've handed out the invitations from Young Master Qin Yue several times. You can't refuse people every time, right?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Ying'er, what do you know? This opening is not open. Today, it is preventing Qin Yue's face that I opened the opening, and all kinds of people will hand over posts tomorrow.
Once that happens, I have to go to banquets every day. Think about it, I have so much homework every day, so how can I have so many banquets for entertainment? Therefore, the smartest way is to directly call the sick at home, and no one will be seen, so that you can enjoy the most leisurely life. "
