Lu Shiming went to the border town 14 years ago. At that time, he left home in anger. He took the imperial examination at the age of sixteen. Although the sons of merchants were allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, in fact, it was not easy for the sons of merchants to pass the exam. Extraordinary, I thought that I would definitely be able to enter the top ten in the exam, even if I couldn't pass the exam, there are still second-class ones.
But he failed the ranking, and later found out that his name was replaced by someone else, and it was his elder brother who agreed to be replaced by someone else, and finally won the fifth place in the first class.
The person who replaced him was the son of the governor of Jiangnan. Uncle Lu sacrificed his younger brother's imperial examination for the sake of the Lu family's business in Jiangnan. Although Lu Shiming was angry, he still endured it for the sake of his family.
Three years later, he took the exam again, and this time he didn't replace him, but he still failed because he came from a businessman, and he didn't try to curry favor with the examiners, so he didn't pass the exam.
At that time, there were many evils in the darkness of the examination room, and the examiners embezzled and sold a lot of examination questions. After he failed the exam, he disclosed his examination questions to the public. That year, the examiner was spurned by the students all over the world. This is obviously a deliberate failure. The talent will not lose to the champion.
At that time, Lu Shiming didn't know whether it was because he was young and energetic or because he was really unwilling. Three years later, he took the exam again. This time he passed the exam, and he was still the top three. During the palace exam, the emperor appointed him as Tanhualang.
After becoming Tanhualang, Lu Shiming made an excuse, took his wife and children and left the capital to open a small medical clinic in a border town. After going there for fourteen years, it was not until the death of the first emperor and the king of Qin who usurped the throne and killed the fatuous prince that Lu Shiming decided to come back. of.
Now that he is called to be an official again, he hesitates a little.
"Third Uncle, I know you have ambitions in your heart. It was my father who failed you back then. You have been in the border town for so many years. Haven't you thought about doing something for the people of the world one day?" Lu Lingzhi asked in a low voice.
Lu Shiming smiled lightly, "Your father didn't owe me anything. He did it for the Lu family. I will consider what you said."
"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from my third uncle." Lu Lingzhi laughed. If it wasn't because his father was sorry for his third uncle first, how could the old lady allow his third uncle to stay away for so many years? Moreover, among so many uncles, The third uncle is the most different.
Lu Shiming smiled and said, "I have one more thing to ask you. Xiangzhi will take the exam next year, and I want to find him a husband."
"Third Uncle, this matter is on me, and I will arrange it." Lu Lingzhi said.
"Okay." Lu Shiming nodded with a smile, and said to Lu Xiangzhi, "I don't want to thank you, brother."
Lu Xiangzhi scratched his hair, "Thank you, brother."
"We are brothers, so it's a shame to say that." Lu Lingzhi said.

Ye Zhen went back to her room, only to find out that Miss Lu and Miss Lu had come to look for her.
"Third sister, it's a pity that you were not there at that time. The imperial concubine gave a lot of things. You see, these pearls and flowers are only found in the palace, and you can't buy them outside." The second girl Lu pointed to the exquisite and beautiful hair. Zhuhua couldn't hide her joy on her face.
"Well, it's very pretty." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, she had seen all the beautiful pearl flower jewelry, how could she be envious of these, besides, she really didn't want what Lu Shuang'er gave her.
Miss Lu looked sideways at Ye Zhen, but she didn't see the look of envy and jealousy in Ye Zhen's eyes. She felt a little unwilling, "I heard that my sister went hunting?"
"Yeah." Ye Zhen nodded, a little confused what the two sisters wanted to do, to show off that they were rewarded by Lu Shuang'er
The Fourth Miss Lu coughed lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "I heard that you are with elder brother, so... who else is there?"
Ye Zhen felt that Lu Si's question was a bit strange, "Also, some of his friends."
"I remember that my brother's friend has a surname Tang, who is already Lord Marquis at such a young age, have you seen it?" Lu Si asked again, his cheeks flushed a little.
"Did you say Tang Zhen?" After Murong Zhan ascended the throne, he granted titles to those who had helped him. The old man of the Lu family was the Marquis of Anyang, and now the title of Marquis naturally falls on Lu Ling's head. Tang Zhen is the Marquis of Jingning.
Both the Lu family and the Tang family are the most dazzling upstarts in Kyoto.
"Have you met Marquis Jingning?" Lu Si sat up straight, staring at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen looked at Lu Si's eyes, as if she was going to take something away from her, she smiled, "If you're talking about Tang Zhen, you've met him before, we even had a competition, but he lost."
Lu Si stared at Ye Zhen with wide eyes, "What did you say? What did you compete with Jing Ninghou? How could he lose to you?"
"He lost the hunting competition. Look, he lost the silver whip to me." Anyway, the news of their competition will spread sooner or later. Instead of hearing something from other places, Lu Si should first speak out.
Lu Si looked at the silver whip hung on the wall by Ye Zhen, her face suddenly turned pale, this cold silver whip is a worry in the world, she will not mistake it, Tang Zhen actually gave the silver whip to Lu Yao tender.
"Third sister, I didn't expect your archery to be so good that even the Marquis of Jingning lost to you." The second girl Lu's face was not very good-looking. She originally wanted the third sister to envy her, but now it seems that she is not Know who envies whom.
Tang Zhen has been very conspicuous in the capital recently, especially the attention of his wives and girls, because he has not been engaged yet. Now that he is in a high position and has the trust of the emperor, I don't know how many girls want to marry him.
Lu Si forced a smile and said, "Third sister, what do you want this silver whip for?"
"Don't do much, just keep it looking good." Ye Zhen said.
"That's a pity. I like it very much. Why don't you give it to me?" Fourth Miss Lu said, never thinking about why Ye Zhen would give her the silver whip.
Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile, "Not good."
This Miss Lu Si is really funny, why should she give her the silver whip, and act like it's a matter of course.
Fourth Miss Lu forced a smile, but did not force her.
"We won't disturb my sister's rest." Miss Lu Er also felt that sitting here was boring, so she pulled Lu Si and said goodbye to Ye Zhen.
After seeing off the two girls, Ye Zhen took the ice silk silver whip off the wall, waved it on her hand a few times, felt it was very easy, and hung it back again.
This is a trophy, it belongs to Ye Zhen.
At night, before going to sleep, Ye Zhen asked someone to fetch water to wash her face. She looked at the phoenix bird on her palm and thought together, a drop of red spiritual spring appeared in her palm. She put the spiritual spring in the pear flower cream for skin care, and stirred it Apply evenly on face and hands.
Now when she takes a bath, she always puts Lingquan in the water. In the past two days, she feels that the discomfort in her body has disappeared, as if... she is being reborn, and her sense of smell is much better than usual.
However, it seems that the skin has not turned white, and it seems that it has to be done slowly.
