Lu Shiqing almost vomited blood. When Dou Azhang turned around in surprise and looked at Hongju, he said to her seriously: "Huang-ju, you heard it wrong. This Mr. Dou is called 'Hongju', not you." While saying this, he gave her a suggestive look.
Dou Azhang saw this and hurried forward to bow to him, "Minister Lu, please forgive me for coming here uninvited." Then he looked at Hongju, "Miss Huang-ju, thank you for taking this trip. I'm looking for Miss Hongju from your house."
Seeing that he believed it, Lu Shiqing smiled at him with a fake smile, indicating that it was okay. However, Hongju was confused for a while, and then seemed to understand something. She wiped her wet hands on her coarse cloth shorts and said honestly, "My dear, you are a busy man, so you may not recognize me. If my name is not Huang-ju, then my name is Hongju!"
"… "
Did he wink at her for nothing? Didn't she know that his wink was very valuable and that he would not easily give it to anyone except Yuan Cixian
Dou A Zhang was also a little confused now, and asked, "Does your family have two Miss Hongju?"
Lu Shiqing nodded immediately and said seriously, "Yes, there are two of them. I just remembered them wrong."
Dou A Zhang opened his mouth as wide as a date, as if he had suddenly realized something. Suddenly, he heard Hong Ju beside him say in surprise, "No, my dear, you are wrong again. I am the only one Hong Ju in our house!"
"… "
Dou Azhang frowned and confirmed: "Hong from safflower, Ju from chrysanthemum?"
Hongju nodded affirmatively: "Hong from red flower, Ju from chrysanthemum!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Shiqing gritting his teeth and twitching his eyes at her. He immediately said in panic, "My dear, what's wrong with your eyes? Do you want me to call a doctor to take a look at you?"
“…” Shout! Call her over and let her take a good look at her brain!
Lu Shiqing had a look of disappointment on his face, when he suddenly heard a voice from afar: "What are you all standing at the door for?" He looked up and saw Yuan Cihan being supported by Shi Cui towards the mansion gate.
Seeing this, he didn't even remember what red chrysanthemum and yellow chrysanthemum meant. He walked up to her quickly and took her hand from Shi Cui: "Why did you come out?"
Yuan Cixian heard that he had returned, but was still entangled with someone in front of the mansion, so she came to see what was going on. When she saw Dou Azhang, she understood, turned around and asked Hongju to go down, and then asked him: "Brother Dou, what do you want from our Hongju?"
Dou A Zhang was still thinking about Lu Shiqing's strange behavior just now. Hearing this, he hurriedly bowed to her and explained, "Ms. Hongju from your mansion once saved my life on the Dragon Boat Festival. I have always wanted to thank her in person, but I have never had the chance."
"Brother Dou," Yuan Cixian glanced at him, "A real man should be bold in his thoughts and actions. You should be more direct in your approach to chatting people up. You have sent me hundreds of these sour poems. Just tell me that you are attracted to our Hongju."
Dou A Zhang's face turned red to his ears after his secret was exposed. He stammered, "Mrs. Lu... Mrs. Lu, this, I..." He struggled for a moment and said, "It's not that I dare not think or accept it, but the rules in my family are strict. I'm afraid that my grandfather will treat Miss Hongju badly after knowing the truth..."
He waved his hands and said, "But I have no intention of disrespecting Miss Hongju. I just need to meet her and find out what she wants. If she is willing to follow me, I will make sure everything is done. I will not let her suffer any injustice and will marry her in a grand ceremony."
Lu Shiqing gritted his teeth in anger.
He understood Yuan Yu's feelings when he married his sister. It was glorious, how could the daughter of his Lu family not be glorious? He wanted to see if this poor scholar was qualified. If he remembered correctly, Dou Azhang failed the imperial examination this year and ranked last!
At the bottom of the list!
It doesn’t matter what the reputation and status of the Dou family is in Chang’an, and he is not the kind of person who cares about these things, but how can Dou Azhang be a useless person!
Noticing his unhappy expression, Dou A Zhang hurriedly added: "Of course, since Miss Hongju is working for your family, this matter must also be approved by Minister Lu."
Seeing that Lu Shiqing looked like he was about to face a storm, Yuan Cixian tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to speak, and then said, "Brother Dou, Minister Lu already understands what you mean. But I really like Hongju and I can't bear to marry her off casually. If you want to marry her, you have to show your sincerity."
Dou A Zhang hurriedly said, "Mrs. Lu, just speak up."
Yuan Cixian smiled and said, "You should study hard with Minister Lu first, and write an essay for us to see in the next imperial examination. Then, Miss Hongju will give you the answer."
Yuan Cixian said this not because she wanted him to gain fame, but to give him a chance to change Lu Shiqing's mind.
Dou A Zhang had always thought that the key to this matter was to find out Hong Ju's feelings and then appease the elders at home, but he didn't expect to fail at the Lu family first. Seeing the couple's attitude, he had to suppress his feelings for the time being.
In fact, the reason why he failed the exam was because he accidentally ate too much natto the day before the exam, and had diarrhea that day, which ruined everything. But he didn't use this embarrassing thing to explain to the big shot, and only promised to study hard.
And secretly vowed to never eat natto again.

When Lu Shuangyu learned that her brother had accepted that seemingly dull nerd as his student, she felt that she had reached the age of coming of age and was going to be kicked out. She was so sad that she couldn't eat for several days.
It just so happened that Yuan Cixian didn't eat either, and was worried along with her sister-in-law.
She was starting to have morning sickness.
Before Ge Zheng left, he told her that she would suffer a lot. Because she did not see any special symptoms in the next few days, she initially thought that the old doctor was exaggerating, but now she really believed it.
Now she was not only tired and weak every day, but also felt dizzy and nauseous from time to time for several days, and could hardly eat. Xuan thought of eating small meals more often, and asked someone to keep her food hot all day long, and eat whenever she could eat.
She knew she had to eat, so she forced herself to swallow.
Lu Shiqing was very busy during the day, and he was able to take care of her only when he returned home later. When he was not around, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she just stayed on the couch, not showing much in front of Xuan. Only when he came back did she let go, pouting and blaming him for giving her only one pair at a time, which doubled the signs of her pregnancy.
Lu Shiqing choked, thinking that she had said a few days ago that this was her credit, but now it suddenly became his fault.
But seeing that she looked dazed, he could not bear to retort. He thought that the credit was hers and the fault was his, so there was nothing wrong with it. He folded his sleeves and went forward to apologize in person, feeding her, dressing her, and even almost took her to pee in the morning. Naturally, he was knocked out by her weak punch.
After a month of intermittent suffering, Yuan Cixian's morning sickness finally eased a little in early August. Seeing that she was able to eat and sleep again, and even ate more than before, the worries of the Lu family gradually settled down.
However, two months later, when the first dew month of winter came, Yuan Cixian began to worry about something else.
She found that Lu Shiqing had fed her and made her fat.
Nearly five months pregnant, her belly was already swollen, not only did her waist become thinner, her face became rounder, and her legs and feet were often swollen. Seeing that she had become as fat as the famous white elephant of Pyu Kingdom, but she couldn't eat less, Yuan Cixian felt bitter and didn't want to stand side by side with the tall Lu Shiqing, for fear that this mountain of hers would fall and crush him.
Yuan Cixian's belly was also restless. After a while, one day in late October, she felt a movement in her lower abdomen for the first time, like a small fish sliding past. In the following days, this symptom became more frequent, and she realized belatedly that it was the baby moving.
After Lu Shiqing knew about this, his pleasure every night became bending over and listening next to her belly.
After more than half a month, he had figured out the times when the children were most naughty and active. One night, when it was a little late, he suspected that Yuan Cixian did not eat enough during the day and the two children were hungry. So, on that cold November day, he got up in the middle of the night to feed her food.
Yuan Cixian complained bitterly, asking him if he had forgotten the child's mother because he had a baby.
Of course, Lu Shiqing didn't mean that. He was thinking about how to comfort her when he suddenly stared at a certain part of her increasingly plump body and asked her, "Does it hurt?"
More than four months ago, Yuan Cixian's breasts were swollen and painful, and she couldn't sleep at night for many times. At first, she refused to tell Lu Shiqing, but after he found out, he made a quick decision: rub it if it hurts.
In fact, there was no use in rubbing it, it was just that he was itching, and now it was not as uncomfortable as before. She rejected him with a glare, but after falling asleep, her clothes were still opened by a pig's paw.
Seeing that he was really not giving up, Yuan Cixian dodged for a few times and then decided to give up and let him have his fun.
During these days, Lu Shiqing really had not broken his vows once. Although the doctor said that after the first three months, it was okay to have sex occasionally, he was afraid that if he broke his vows, he would not be able to control himself and move violently, which might hurt her and the child, so he had been trying hard to hold it back.
Yuan Cixian is a person who responds to soft words but not hard ones. Seeing that although Yuan Cixian has strong self-control, he is still enduring a lot of hardship, she took the initiative to help him relieve his stress in other ways several times.
He was content with the fact that he had gotten a few bargains during his vegetarian days.
But this time, not long after Lu Shiqing reached out his hand, Yuan Cixian's breathing became heavier.
She was not a fool. She had sex with him several times in midsummer and was very happy. Later, she would think of the taste from time to time. She was just enduring for the two babies in her belly. Now she didn't dare to indulge him anymore, fearing that he would turn her on and it would be too late. So when he put his mouth close to her, she pushed his head away.
Lu Shiqing swallowed, quickly moved away obediently, turned his back and panted twice, taking a deep breath as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
Yuan Cixian knew what he looked like without even touching him.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, until Lu Shiqing suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and lifted the quilt, and said quickly: "You go to sleep first." After that, he got off the couch, apparently going to the bathroom.
Yuan Cixian thought he was probably going to jump into the tub to cool down, so she hurriedly called out to him, "Don't use cold water in the middle of winter."
Lu Shiqing paused, turned around and said, "If I don't take a bath, I will catch a cold and infect you."
"So what are you doing..." She suddenly understood the question halfway through and said in embarrassment, "You want to do it yourself..."
Yuan Cihan knew that many men would do this, but she was sure that with Lu Shiqing's previous arrogant temper and his love of cleanliness, he had never done such a thing.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like if he did it to herself. She felt that it would be too cruel for him. She couldn't bear it just thinking about it.
Seeing him turn around and leave, she hesitated for a moment, then said with a frown, "Come here, I'll help you."
Lu Shiqing shook his head: "You will be tired, just go to sleep, I will come later..."
"There is a way to avoid getting tired. I saw it in a pamphlet." She interrupted him and winked at him, "Come here!"
He stood there for a while, then walked to the bed with doubt, and heard her say, "Stop it, come down."
He did as he was told hesitantly, looking at Yuan Cihan who was lying on the edge of the bed in confusion, until she stared at him, frowned and struggled for a long time, then took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind, and held him and pressed him to her mouth.
Lu Shiqing finally understood what she was talking about. When he was just inches away from her lips and tongue, he suddenly withdrew and panted slightly, "... Don't!"
