Sun Yao came to Xu Mansion for several days and couldn't see Xu Yu, so he was really worried. Subconsciously trying to find Lu Feng's idea, everyone walked to the entrance of Lu's residence, and then suddenly realized that she was going on an expedition.
Sun Yao sighed secretly that Lu Feng was the backbone of several of them, and turned his head to prepare to go back.
It just so happened that the Lu family's carriage came back from outside, and Sun Yao stepped back and stood by the door.
After the carriage stopped, the little waiter got down from the inside first, set up the ladder for stepping on his feet, and then stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and invite the people inside to come out.
The person who got out first was Xu Mu. He looked up and saw Sun Yao who was not far away. He was stunned for a while, motioning her to wait for him for a while, and then he turned around and helped Mr. Ji out.
Maybe because of the change of seasons in the past two days, the weather is a little cold, and Xiao Rui feels unwell. Afraid that Lu Yu was alone because of the child's panic, Ji Shi and Xu Mu went to the East Palace to take a look.
Ji Shi naturally also saw Sun Yao, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yao is here, come to the house for a cup of tea and then go. It just so happened that 'Tian Baiwei' brought new cakes before we left the house in the morning, come and try it."
Sun Yao thought, since this is the case, it is not very good to refuse, so he smiled and scratched his neck, and said, "That's bothering my uncle."
The three came to the main hall together, and the servants set the refreshments and then left.
Sun Yao had come to Lu Mansion quite a few times, and he was not polite to Mrs. Ji. After eating a cake, he drank a sip of tea and smoothed his throat before saying, "It's about Xu Yu, I originally wanted to find Lu Feng, Everyone walked to the door of Lu Mansion, and then I remembered that she was on the expedition."
Ji Shi naturally heard about Xu Yu's failure to be admitted to Juren, and he felt sorry for the child, but after all, the Lu family was not that familiar with the Xu family, and he couldn't say anything about other people's families.
However, Xu Mu and Xu Yu were classmates, and Lu Feng and Xu Yu were friends. Since Sun Yao came over, he must have told Candied Fruit about Xu Yu. It was natural for an elder of the Ji family to sit here and listen.
He simply left the time for the two of them, got up and said to Xu Mu, "I'll go see Xiao Xu at your father's place."
Ji Ruxu, the famous name of honey, is almost full moon now.
After Mr. Ji left, Sun Yaocai said: "I have been to Xu's house several times, but I haven't seen Xiao Yu. The servants of her house told me that she went out. Do you think Xu Xiang will lock her up? ?"
Xu Mu thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "Probably not. If Xu Xiang locked up Xu Yu, then there is no need for the servant to tell you that she went out."
"Then where did she go?" Sun Yao frowned and stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth. His mouth was blocked, and his voice was a little vague, "I'll go to her master's place to see later."
She felt that Xu Yu was on the cusp of the storm in the past few days, and naturally he would not run to Yujie.
But there was no sign of her in the Xu residence. Sun Yao thought that no matter what, it would be good to go to a few more places to have a look.
Before leaving, Sun Yao thought this cake was really good, so he ate a few more pieces. She is a woman after all, it's not good to have been in the same room with Xu Mu for too long.
After Sun Yao came out of Lu Mansion, he turned a few alleys and walked down the road to Yujie.
The woodcarving shop where Xu Yu apprenticed has been around for at least a hundred years and has been passed down through four or five generations. Although it is not as profitable as the jewelry store next to it, it is a well-known old store, and its business is OK.
At the beginning, Xu Yu got a piece of wood to carve for fun, but after saving some money, he came here to pick a good piece of wood.
The boss and Xu Yu had a casual chat. Later, seeing that she had some insights into wood carving at a young age, did she seriously ask her if she had studied wood carving
Xu Yu was self-taught, and shyly took out what she carved from his arms and showed it to the boss.
After seeing it, the boss nodded and smiled, "Although the things you carve are inconspicuous in my opinion, they are not bad for people of your age who have never learned to carve."
The boss asked Xu Yu if he wanted to learn carving, and Xu Yu nodded naturally.
Sun Yao stopped at the entrance of a woodcarving shop called "Mu Ji", lifted the hem of his clothes and crossed the threshold into the shop.
Several of them knew that Xu Yu was studying here, but he was not interested in wood carving and clay sculpture. The number of times he had set foot in these years could be counted with both hands.
When the clerk who was cleaning the wood carving saw a customer come to the door, he got up and asked respectfully, "Are you looking at it? Or do you want to order something?"
The shop assistants in "Mu Ji" are not as attentive as those in the jewelry store next door. As soon as they see a buyer coming to the door, they immediately hug them flatteringly. They smile gently, giving people a feeling of comfort.
Some customers come to the store just to stroll around and enjoy these wood and clay sculptures. Unless the customer needs to inquire about it, the clerk will not come to disturb them.
Sun Yao didn't take a look after he came in, but asked directly, "Is Xu Yu there?"
When the clerk heard that he was looking for someone, he put down the handkerchief that was wiping the wood carving in his hand, walked to the door of the back room, pushed open the closed door slightly, and said, "It's inside."
The back room is where the boss carves things. When you open the door, you will be greeted by a natural fragrance that belongs to wood. There are many precious woods in it, and the smell is even better.
When the boss wasn't there, Xu Yu sat alone in the middle of a pile of tools, sculpting things with his head down.
Seeing that she was fine, Sun Yao let out a sigh of relief, and said, "It's really rare that you can still come here intact, Xu Xiang knew that you didn't succeed, so why didn't you lock you in the room and hang you? fighting?"
Xu Yu looked back and saw Sun Yao, without a trace of surprise, he lowered his head and blew the sawdust on the wood, and said, "Don't make me laugh. The reason why my mother didn't hang and beat me is because I made a deal with her. She allowed me to learn wood carving, and I gave the right to choose my husband."
Sun Yao was shocked, what kind of business is this
Xu Yu explained everything to Sun Yao. Since she knew that she could not be the master of the marriage, she simply immersed herself in the woodcarving.
Sun Yao saw that although Xu Yu was doing his favorite woodcarving, there was still no smile on his face, and he sighed in his heart.
"Think about it, what if Xu Xiang promised you to An Qingle?" Sun Yao put his arms around Xu Yu's shoulders and comforted her, "The first in the township test matches the last in the township test, it's a perfect match."
Xu Yu rolled his eyes, not believing this at all.
Seeing her sullen appearance, Sun Yao couldn't help but think, if Lu Feng was here and she had a lot of ideas, she would definitely be able to come up with a good way.
Lu Feng had only been gone for two months, and Sun Yao felt that he wanted to kill her.
Xu Mu also misses Lu Feng.
He lay in front of the bed and looked at the sleeping honey, and couldn't help but think of his wife and master.
If Honey was awake, Xu Mu could still tease and distract her, but now that she fell asleep, Xu Mu had nothing to do.
Lying on the side of the bed and watching for a while, Xu Mu couldn't help but stretched out his hand and poked his younger sister Bai. Tender's cheek, "Honey, what do you think your sister-in-law is doing now?"
Honey didn't know what Lu Feng was doing, but she knew that she was sleeping, and for Xu Mu, who harassed her to sleep, Honey had a more direct response, crying at the top of her throat.
Xu Mu hurriedly retracted his fingers in fright, and instead patted her small body lightly with the palm of his hand, and coaxed, "Don't cry, my brother won't bother you anymore."
Xu Mu's beat made Honey feel comfortable, or maybe Xu Mu's soft and slender voice was particularly pleasant to coax people.
Sitting not far away, Mrs. Li was making clothes for Honey, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but laugh.
He stretched out his hand and called Xu Mu over, and said, "Candied fruit, learn how to make clothes with your father? When Lu Feng comes back, you will be able to put on the clothes you made for her."
It's better to pass the time by making clothes than to poke the sleeping honey all the time.
Xu Mu felt that this method was good, took the needle and thread, and seriously learned from Li to cut and make clothes.
The days go by so fast, and after the new year, the spring season is ushered in.
An Qingle is worthy of being a talented person who has been praised by the sage. He passed the two exams in Qiuwei and Chunwei, embodying the words "men and women are not allowed" to the fullest. will be in the bag.
After Xu Mu heard the news, he felt happy for him from the bottom of his heart, and sent someone to send gifts.
Next, An Qingle is about to face the palace exam.
The palace examination is attended by candidates who have passed the general examination and obtained the qualification of "Gongsheng". They enter the capital and enter the Chaoshang Palace, and the emperor personally sets the questions for the examination.
The number of people admitted in the exam is very limited, only three tops are selected, and only three are selected from each top.
The top three in each test are called "Jinshi". The first place in the first grade is called "Zhuang Yuan", the second place is "Second Place", and the third place is "Tan Hua".
When the sage praised An Qingle for his talent before, there were still many women who cared about him. After all, it was a good thing to marry a talented son back.
But after An Qingle won the first place in the two rural exams in turn, many people stopped thinking about marrying him.
What they want to marry is the husband, not the "Lord". Now marrying An Qingle back, that is to make offerings at home, and in the future, a man of him will show his face and go out to court, so the women who will be set off are useless.
And a woman with a higher official position only wants to marry a docile lord, not a man who may have the same official position as her in the future and has a strong temperament and is unwilling to have children at home.
Some people dare not marry, but others have other thoughts. Those who have no titles and no one in their family can work now, have moved their hearts to An Qingle.
All they want is An Qingle's future power. It doesn't matter whether he wants to have children at home or not.
They could see An Qingle's future after the palace exam, and as soon as possible after the exam was over, they would find someone to send a message to An Shangshu, expressing their desire to marry a family.
How could An Shangshu not know what these people were thinking, she sneered in her heart, and her face was polite. In the future, the people from the mansion and gifts were invited out, "We have already decided on the marriage of the child, but we are afraid that it will affect his exam. Say it, and after the palace exam, you will set a date to get married."
After sending these people away, An Shangshu said angrily to his husband, "What kind of heart do these people have?"
At the beginning, she took a fancy to Lu Feng, except that Lu Feng himself is good, and there is the Lu family's family rule of not accepting servants.
But now, these people marrying her son is only interested in his promising future. The side attendants, attendants, concubines, and concubine daughters in the family are all waiting for her family to support her happily!
Why are their faces so thick! If the abacus is playing so loudly, won't the conscience hurt
An Shangshu took a few breaths before saying, "Fortunately, we have already settled with the Xu family. Although Xu Yu is not motivated and not very good, the house is clean."
Then she explained to her husband, "Don't tell Qing Le about this beforehand, just let him prepare for the palace exam with peace of mind."
…
A month later, as everyone guessed, Anqing Le Palace came out on top in the exam and passed the exam.
The person who gets the champion must be appreciated by the sage. Generally, if the champion is not married yet, the sage may give her the prince under the great joy of the dragon's heart.
And this time the champion was a man, so it was naturally impossible for Prince Xu to be his husband, but the sage personally conferred the marriage for him and Xu Xiang's daughter.
Not long after An Qingle received the imperial decree for marriage in the palace, Xu Yu, who was preparing to go out to "Mu Ji" in the Xu residence, also received the imperial decree.
Xu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground to receive the decree, opened his eyes in a daze when he heard who he was going to marry, and almost fainted with joy.
The surprise came too suddenly, and she was not prepared at all.
Xu Yu was so dumbfounded that he knelt on the ground with the imperial edict in his hands and didn't know it. Xu Xiang asked people to take money to reward the person who passed the decree, and then he glanced down at her, his tone was rather disgusting, "Promising."
So far, what else does Xu Yu not understand
Holding the imperial edict, she kowtowed to Xu Xiang, grinning foolishly, "Thank you mother."
Wan's smiled and helped her daughter up, and said, "You are our treasure, why are we willing to make it so difficult for you?"
Ignoring his daughter's full of joy, Xu Xiang said as if pouring cold water: "The marriage with the An family is only out of interest.
After Qing Le gets married, she won't be like an ordinary husband in the backyard and give birth to you a child, so you need to be a little prepared.
In the future, if you are gossiped after you go out, you will have to endure it. If you dare to come back and complain to your husband, I will break your leg. "
Xu Yu shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, I will definitely love him and respect him. If he wants to show his ambitions in the courtroom with his mother, I will take care of his inner house and handle the house affairs for him, and I will never complain. As for gossip... I've been used to it since I was a child, and it doesn't hurt or itches, so I definitely won't care."
Seeing her daughter's appearance, Mrs. Wan immediately felt that she didn't see it.
Xu Xiang actually smiled, "You'd better think about it."
This daughter's mind, whether it's because of her love for An Qingle or something else, is worthy of praise.
Marriage is bestowed by the Holy One, and it is not sloppy. The date is set at the end of the year, and it is still early, but Xu Yu has already begun to discuss with Wan Shi about getting married.
No matter what happened in the middle, the result now is that Xu Yu was finally able to embrace the beauty.
Xu Mu wrote a letter to Lu Feng and asked her when she would be back.
Lu Feng wrote back that Dayu's quick-fix tactics had been shattered, and he would return after the winter this year.
The author has something to say: Little Theater
An Shangshu: If you hit my son's idea, will your conscience not hurt
The person who made the idea: No, not only will we not have pain, but we will also be happy.
An Shangshu: _(:зゝ∠)_ Fortunately, my son Xu is early
