Due to the change of the spring day, it left more time to prepare for the exam, and the lively teahouse of the previous year was deserted.
Years later, the Zhouhou Mansion also entered a tense atmosphere. The little girl in Changzhong's courtyard walked like a cat.
The servants of the entire Hou Mansion are aware of the Lord Hou's expectations of the young master, and the servants of the various residences also have comparisons, and they are also angry when they say that the Hou residence cannot produce the champion.
On this day, Zhu Lan went to the academy by carriage. Today is the school day. The school has 20 days of holidays, and the school starts on the 16th day of the first lunar month after the year-end holiday.
Today is also the day of handover and repair. When she arrived, the academy was already full of people. Now that the family is not out in the first month, most of the parents come to see the children, a small part is only the father, and the rest are the whole family. .
Shao Ting and Jiang Ling were in charge of the admissions alone, while the other was watching the shackles repair, and Zhulan deliberately went to the cashier to take a look before leaving.
When she saw Jiang Ling, Zhulan asked, "Will the bandha repair go smoothly?"
Jiang Ling's face was filled with joy, "Going well, some children have managed to make money in the past 20 days, plus the money they have saved before is enough to pay for repairs, so there is no need to prepare money at home this year."
Zhulan also smiled, "They are all good children who study hard."
Jiang Ling likes girls who are self-reliant and self-reliant. Only when she respects herself can she spell out the future for herself.
Admission to the academy went very smoothly, and Zhulan also met some students' parents, which was also an encouragement. She waited until the afternoon to take the carriage back to the city.
It was already dark by the time we got to the door, and Zhulan just happened to pull the curtain of the carriage and let out a groan.
Qingxue hurriedly asked, "What's wrong ma'am?"
Zhulan waited for the mansion door to open, and the driver wanted to drive the carriage into the mansion. Zhulan motioned for the carriage to stop, and said to the groom, "Ask the people in front of you why they are circling in front of the mansion gate."
Qingxue also saw a person looking at the Hou Mansion from time to time, and some seemed to want to go forward but didn't dare, "Madam, let's go back to the mansion first."
"good."
Not long after returning to the main courtyard, the servant reported that the man had just opened his mouth and left, and Zhulan's doubts were suppressed. As long as she came back, she would know sooner or later.
A little bit of time has passed, and now the day is still not long, and it is already dark when it is time to go to the yamen.
Changzhi sat in the carriage, resting, and was a little drowsy. The carriage stopped suddenly, and Changzhi suddenly woke up and frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
The coachman replied, "Sir, someone stopped the carriage and said they knew you."
Changzhi motioned to turn on the headlights, and was surprised to see the person coming, "It's you, how can you find this official if you don't study hard?"
He had seen the neighborhood by the light, and he was about to go home.
Liu Mingsheng was so cold that he didn't dare to knock on the door of Zhouhou's mansion. It was either a prince or a high-ranking official. He walked in and his legs were weak. , "Sir, please also ask the adults to help the students once."
Changzhi was stunned. After seeing Liu Mingsheng, he didn't pay attention to it anymore. Liu Mingsheng understood what he meant and didn't look for it. He was very satisfied with Liu Mingsheng's sobriety. What's the matter? Why are you sure that this official is in this carriage?"
Liu Mingsheng's legs were already cold, and he really had no choice. "Students don't know that adults are riding in this carriage. Students think about coming back and stopping one another."
Changzhi motioned for Liu Ming to get up, "Stop kneeling."
Another carriage came over and stopped quickly. Changzhi looked at it and said, "Dad."
Zhou Shuren was opening the carriage window, "What happened here?"
Changzhi told who Liu Mingsheng was and what happened just now, "Father, go back to rest first and your son will take care of it."
Zhou Shuren hummed and closed the car window to signal to leave.
When the carriage was far away, Changzhi didn't want to get cold outside. The carriage was not warm, and he signaled Liu Mingsheng to come up.
Changzhi handed over the stove in his hand, "Warm up first."
Liu Mingsheng thanked him carefully before he took over the stove, and headed back to the Hou Mansion without a word.
Changzhi took someone to the small hall in the front yard, and motioned for the **** tea to let Liu Mingsheng warm up first, and he wanted to go back to change his clothes.
Liu Mingsheng drank the **** tea, his cold throat warmed, and he slowly warmed up before looking at the small hall. He was a little surprised that he entered the Hou Mansion so smoothly. Ever since he knew the identity of Lord Zhou, he never thought of climbing up to the Lord.
Changzhi came back quickly, "Tell me, what do you ask this officer to help you with?"
Liu Mingsheng greeted him and said, "Sir, students have wives and children in their families. Students must not divorce their wives and remarry, and ask adults to help students."
The tea in Changzhi's mouth almost spit out, "Huh?"
Liu Mingsheng is almost 30 years old. He looks a few years older than his actual age, and people in the capital are also picky. There are still people who like Liu Mingsheng.
Liu Mingsheng was a little embarrassed, "Sir, students don't know why they must be students."
Changzhi became interested, "Whose family?"
Liu Mingsheng said, "Daughter of the family's family in the Ministry of Rites."
Changzhi stared at Liu Mingsheng, and then reacted that it should have something to do with him. He met Liu Mingsheng that day. Although he didn't communicate much, he was remembered by those who were interested. In addition, his second brother was in the Ministry of Rites. , which is to determine that he admires Liu Mingsheng.
Liu Mingsheng was anxious, he was not an ungrateful person, he never left his wife in distress, how could he abandon his wife.
Changzhi knew the reason, Liu Mingsheng had some fate with him after all, "Don't worry, I won't bother you again."
Liu Mingsheng was delighted, "Thank you sir."
Changzhi didn't leave Liu Mingsheng to eat, nor did he take the school exam, so a carriage was prepared to send Liu Mingsheng back.
Changzhi went back to the yard to eat first, and then went to the second brother to talk about Liu Mingsheng, "Second brother, you will inform Jiang Langzhong tomorrow."
Changyi, "The Ministry of Rites knows that a group of people will be recruited. Because Liu Mingsheng is favored by you, he just doesn't know whether Jiang Langzhong is planning for himself or he is planning for others."
Changzhi raised **** and couldn't help sneering, "Isn't the emperor's attitude clear enough? Now the two princes are in charge of the palace, and the prince's status is as stable as a rock. Is it bad?"
"It's easy to put it, there are a few people who can wake up in the royal family, and they will stop when their blood is broken."
The days passed, and the first month appeared in a blink of an eye. Changzhong did not listen to things outside the window. He was tested by the school every day. First, Rong Chuan came to the door from time to time, and then Zhou Shuren couldn't help teaching his son at night.
Changzhi didn't even teach Mingrui and Minghui, and after dinner, he followed Changzhong to study.
Minghui's brothers looked cold on their backs, Mingrui said quietly: "The family is holding their breath!"
Minghui responded quickly, "The bets are big outside?"
Mingrui listened to his brother-in-law saying a lot about his bets, "Yeah."
Mingjing swallowed her saliva, "Uncle's pressure is too great."
Mingrui smiled, "I feel that the more pressure the uncle has, the more he has to prove himself."
Some people are afraid of pressure, but my uncle likes pressure, and has a particularly strong psychological quality.
As the Spring Festival approached, there was a happy event in the Zhou family. Mingrui and Minghui entered the palace today.
