In winter, Baiquan City once again roared with gongs and drums, and the sound of firecrackers. Following the gongs and drums came servants carrying dustpans and carrying large sums of money.
The streets were already crowded with people.
"Congratulations to Third Young Master of high school."
"The third young master has a bright future."
Adults and children all shouted.
Following their shouts, the steward of the Lu family in new clothes shouted "We are happy, we are happy together", grabbed a handful of big money and threw it out, making the street noisy and lively.
"In less than a year, the Lu family has been happy twice." People watching the excitement in the street restaurants couldn't help but sigh.
Another person laughed and said: "There will be a third time soon. After entering the Imperial College and being taught by doctors for a year, Your Majesty will select officials."
"Yes, these are the first batch of scholars selected by His Majesty, and they must be entrusted with important responsibilities." Someone else said, "And a scholar in the capital was killed before. Although Mr. Lu is young, he is not afraid of trouble and does not shy away from it.
, took the initiative to ask the Imperial Academy to strictly check the moral character of the students, and also had a discussion with Mr. Xiahou. Your Majesty must have known about him by then."
That's really a promising future, and everyone nodded.
In the Lu family mansion, Mrs. Lu had read her son's letter over and over again, and then looked at the good news sent from the capital.
"My son really met Your Majesty?" she asked again.
Mr. Lu has obviously answered this question many times, and he said impatiently: "See you, see you."
Mrs. Lu said angrily: "Why are you anxious? Too many things and too many guests are making you upset?"
Mr. Lu laughed and said, "I wish my son would upset me more." But he frowned, "It's all that Seven Stars."
Hearing this name, Mrs. Lu's face also darkened: "What will happen to this wretched servant?"
"I want money." Mr. Lu said. "When I heard that Yi'er was in high school, he threatened not to give her more money, so he came to make trouble."
Mrs. Lu slapped the table: "Let her come, I will prevent her from leaving Baiquan City!"
That cheap maid is treacherous and may not come in and just make trouble outside Baiquan City. Mr. Lu waved his hand: "It is better to do less than to do more. Don't let her have her wish on the big day. Just give her the money."
After that, let Mrs. Lu go out to greet the guests quickly.
"The second child can't come out. Only the third child is outside. He's clumsy. Go out and watch."
The Lu family's banquet, which had been changed to a big house, was bigger than the last time, and there were more guests, but there was one less person to entertain the guests. Mrs. Lu also knew that Mrs. Lu was unreliable, so she could only get up and walk away while hating.
Voice: "What does this bastard think of us? She comes here all day long asking for money."
"It won't be long." Mr. Lu said, "If we wait any longer, we will take care of her."
Mrs. Lu walked out and met Mrs. Lu San coming over.
"Sister-in-law, please come quickly." She said hurriedly, "Many people are here and they are asking about my brother's marriage. I really don't know what to say."
It was really useless. Mrs. Lu snorted in her heart and just said: "I know."
He took a few steps forward, then stopped when he thought of something, and first looked down at his dress.
Mrs. Lu San hurriedly followed her look and bent over to smooth and tidy up her dress: "It's very good, no wrinkles."
She didn't care about this. Mrs. Lu frowned and asked in a low voice: "Are there any visitors from outside wearing something made by that bitch?"
Mrs. Lu San came back to her senses and suddenly realized that ever since Mrs. Li’s dress became the star of the magistrate’s chrysanthemum banquet, everyone in Yucheng knew the name of Xucheng Linglongfang Embroidery Shop, and many people went to Xucheng to buy embroidery.
.
Fortunately, everyone only knew about Linglongfang and did not know that the embroiderer was related to their Lu family.
Mrs. Lu doesn't want to see everyone wearing those clothes made by a cheap servant. It's really dazzling and heartbreaking.
What if that bitch deliberately made the embroidery exactly like Mrs. Lu’s dress and bumped into her and was asked, how would they answer!
In order to avoid this kind of thing, Mrs. Lu put away all the clothes with seven-star embroidery and ordered the ladies not to wear them.
Madam Lu San couldn't help but take a look at what the eldest lady was wearing today. Although it was also new and expensive, she always felt that something was missing.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, there is none." She said that she had inquired about this matter in advance and was able to answer fluently, "The Seven Stars are regarded as treasures by Linglongfang. Her embroidery must be specially packaged. Each piece is unique and the price is extremely high.
, one only comes out every two or three months, so not everyone can buy it.”
Mrs. Lu's brows did not calm down, but instead tightened even more. Why did these words sound so unpleasant?
Should she be happy or angry?
In a daze, a group of women came over chatting and laughing, and saw Mrs. Lu coming one after another.
"Madam - why are you hiding here?"
"Come here and tell us how you raised your son so well?"
"You had three drinks last time, but three drinks are not enough today."
Mrs. Lu also smiled, and walked over with a radiant face. She was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the women, and the unhappiness caused by the little maid was also overwhelmed.
No matter how famous she is, she is just an embroiderer.
Her son, the emperor's disciple, is famous.
The difference between clouds and mud in the sky and on the earth is not worth mentioning.
Night covers the earth, and the happy people fall asleep drunkenly. The hustle and bustle of the day calms down, but the work does not stop with the night.
Vendors selling night food lighted fires, patrolling officers looked at the street corners of Qiaodong, women lit lamps in the houses and made needlework, and the workshops were busy with tinkling sounds.
On one side, Qing Pheasant was flying needles and threads on the embroidery frame, embroidering the outline of the petals. On the other side, Qixing was sitting in Ruyi Square and getting busy.
"Is there no demand recently?" she asked while sawing wood.
Shopkeeper Lu looked at the brochure in his hand: "It's not that there is no demand, but some of the demands have been solved. Since we set an example, this place has become more active. Some people send requests and some receive them, so they haven't been delivered to the hall yet.
, it has been solved."
This was indeed a good thing, and a smile appeared on Qixing's face.
The wheelbarrow rumbled, and Wei Dong's family walked in from the outside: "Not only did news flow, but people also moved."
He didn't come in alone. He was followed by an old man, wearing homely clothes and with a smile on his face.
Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly introduced: "This is Cao Dianli, and he is also one of our own."
Cao Dianli laughed and said: "Miss Qixing, I have admired you for a long time."
Qixing smiled and said: "To each other."
Cao Dianli's smile became even stronger: "You are younger than I thought. You are really a formidable person."
Qixing smiled.
Wei Dongjia said angrily: "Stop your yamen way of coaxing Shangguan and get down to business."
Cao Dianli laughed and said, "It's like this. There is a Mo Xia from out of town who wants our help in something."
The door curtain was lifted, and a thin man walked in, wearing straw sandals and a shabby winter robe. He looked like a beggar, but he raised his head and had sharp eyes.
"I'm chasing a bandit." He said neatly. "Everywhere this bandit goes, he not only steals, but also rapes and kills women. But he is very skilled and cunning. He just leaves after committing the crime and the government can't find him there."
No matter what, this bandit has been committing crimes and being free all the time, and just yesterday, he entered Xu City."
As he spoke, he glanced at the people in the room and saw three old men, one of whom was riding a wheelbarrow, and a girl.
The old ones, the crippled ones, the young ones, I don't expect them to help kill the gangsters.
"I want to get rid of him before he commits the crime. I can't let the government notice it, otherwise it will alert the snake. And after I get rid of him, I need to cover up my tracks because I am also responsible for the crime."
His eyes glanced around and landed on Wei Dong's house - before he came, the pian had told him to take him to see the steward here. Although the old man was disabled, everyone was treated equally in the sect. As long as he had the ability, the disabled could also be in the palace.
host.
He raised his hands and clasped his fists at the old man on the wheelbarrow: "Maybe you can help me?"
After he finished his request, he did not get an immediate response from the old man. The old man did not look at him, but looked at the girl.
Not only the old man, but the other two people also looked at the girl.
He couldn't help but was slightly stunned. What? Do you want this girl to agree? Is this girl the leader of the hall?
The girl's voice has already sounded.
"Okay." She said, her eyes calm under the light, "We can help you achieve your wish."
