Chapter 85 Qi Mubai's Ranking
The painting was so well restored that the scene in the painting seemed to be replayed before Lu Xingzhan's eyes.
In the picture, the little boy is looking up at the girl, and the girl is also looking down at him, with her eyes and smile filled with tenderness.
Just as Lu Xingzhan was about to stroke the woman's eyebrows with his fingers, the curtain of the shop was lifted up with a "click".
Lu Xingzhan shuddered with fear, then pulled his hand back and clenched it.
The golden leopard came in front of Yu Shengsheng like a gust of wind.
Yu Shengsheng stared at her with eyes wide open, holding his breath, his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned blue and white.
Jin Baobao's face turned red, a strand of hair was scattered, his eyes were wide open, and he moved in front of Yu Shengsheng.
The two looked into each other's eyes, standing very close to each other.
Lu Xingzhan swallowed his saliva, tilted his head back subconsciously, and his eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.
What's going on? What are the master and servant doing?
Is stupidity contagious?
Yu Shengsheng moved her lips slightly and uttered a few words, her voice so soft that even Jin Baobao couldn't hear it.
However, Jin Baobao knew what she was going to ask.
Jin Baobao couldn't help but be as small as hers, slowly opening and closing his lips, and said in a small voice: "Qi Mubai, first place."
Yu Shengsheng's eyes sparkled and tears suddenly fell like rain.
"real?"
Jin Baobao nodded vigorously: "Really!"
The crowd had passed and the sound was fading away. Yu Shengsheng wanted to stand up and Jin Baobao quickly supported her.
"Let's go back."
The master and servant left.
Lu Xingzhan looked puzzled. What was he doing? Why was that idiot crying? And he was crying fiercely.
Bullied again?
The Su family is nothing.
Shopkeeper Song asked, "Third Master, what do you think?"
"Good, well done," Lu Xingzhan collected his thoughts and took out a few gold beans from his purse, "This is an extra reward. I am happy."
Shopkeeper Song took it and said with a smile, "Oh, then I would like to thank the Third Young Master on behalf of Miss Yu."
Lu Xingzhan held the painting and looked at the shopkeeper: "Miss Yu? What does it have to do with her?"
"Third Young Master, you may not know that this painting was done by Miss Yu. She has great skills."
Lu Xingzhan turned around and looked at the door, but Yu Shengsheng was no longer there.
His servant ran in, carrying a few bags in his hands: "Sir, please make it easy for me to find it."
Lu Xingzhan put away the painting and tapped the servant with his fan: "Next, find someone, find that idiot!"
The master and servant also ran away.
Shopkeeper Song looked at his back with a meaningful smile.
Hao Mengye came out from the second floor and looked down: "Is the person gone?"
Shopkeeper Song turned around and bowed his head: "Commander-in-chief, the person has left. Given Mr. Lu's temperament, he should catch up with him before he stops."
Hao Mengye tapped the stair railing with his fingers without saying anything.
"Commander-in-chief, I don't understand. Why do you have to go through so much trouble to help Miss Yu?"
Hao Mengye walked down the stairs slowly: "Lu Laosan looks unruly, but he is actually a man of integrity. If he owes Miss Yu a favor, he will definitely find a way to repay it."
"He went out of town for a while, and he didn't know that Kong Dezhao was pressing Miss Yu. If he knew now, he would probably do something."
Hao Mengye didn't say anything else. Besides, if Lu Xingzhan did anything, Kong Dezhao would not let it go.
But the Lu family is by no means an ordinary family. They have a noble concubine in the harem and a prime minister in the court. If Kong Dezhao dares to touch Lu Xingzhan, the Lu family and the civil servants headed by the Lu family will not sit idly by and wait for death.
Such a situation is also beneficial to the commander.
Hao Mengye changed the subject: "How is the family of Zhao Tianliang, the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory, doing?"
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. Everything is in order. The Kong family has looked for it several times, but they have all returned empty-handed."
"That's good."
Hao Mengye walked out of the antique shop, and the air was still filled with the smell of firecrackers.
He thought to himself that the results would be announced today and the palace examination would be held tomorrow, and the matter between Qi Mubai and Yu Shengsheng should also have a result.
I just don’t know whether it will develop in the direction Yu Shengsheng expects.
He smiled silently. He didn't need to worry about this. This time he had repaid the favor he owed Yu Shengsheng.
He walked forward, and sure enough, at the intersection not far ahead, he saw Lu Xingzhan stopping Yu Shengsheng's carriage and talking to her through the window.
Hao Mengye concealed the sharpness in his eyes and looked calmly towards the carriage. He saw a man pretending to buy something from a stall, glancing at Yu Shengsheng and Lu Xingzhan out of the corner of his eye.
He was not a stranger. He was the person who had been following Yu Shengsheng for some time and a subordinate of Kong Dezhao.
Hao Mengye twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at Lu Xingzhan, and turned away.
Lu Xingzhan had no idea that he was being "tricked" by Hao Mengye.
"Mr. Lu, if you have nothing else to do, please stay away from my carriage," Yu Shengsheng said in a low voice.
Last time, I had an argument with the daughter of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and I caused that girl a lot of trouble.
Lu Xingzhan had spoken for her several times, and Yu Shengsheng always remembered this favor and didn't want to implicate him.
"Hey," Lu Xingzhan raised his eyebrows. He originally wanted to say a few polite words to her and stop calling her a fool, but she even disliked him.
"Do you think I'm willing to get close to your carriage? I'm afraid you'll lead me astray."
"Okay, bye." Yu Shengsheng said without hesitation.
Lu Xingzhan was so angry that he couldn't even say a word of thanks.
"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go quickly."
Before he could finish his words, Jin Baobao waved the whip and the car drove away.
Lu Xingzhan stood there and ate a mouthful of dirt.
"Oh, these two people, I... cough cough..."
Lu Xingzhan went to a roadside teahouse to order some tea and rinsed his mouth several times before he finally recovered his breath.
"Okay, we're even now! I paid her and she did the work, so no one owes anyone anything. I must have lost my mind to think of thanking her."
The servant fanned himself and agreed, "That's right, let's not argue with her. She'll be in trouble soon. Just watch the show."
Lu Xingzhan raised his eyes and asked in surprise: "What bad luck?"
"You just came back, so you don't know," the servant lowered his voice, "Prince Nanshun has taken a fancy to her, and the Su family also agrees, and they are just waiting for the emperor's decree. She wants to marry Kong Dezhao, who is inhumane. How can it be good?"
Lu Xingzhan opened his eyes slightly: "What did you say? Kong Dezhao has seen her? Hasn't she entered the capital yet?"
"He came to Beijing a long time ago. He arrived just two days after you left. He injured his leg on the way and was carried here. He should be almost healed now."
Lu Xingzhan frowned, and the servant asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Shut up, I'm upset."
…
Yu Shengsheng returned to the yard, crying and laughing. Nanny Zhou was frightened. Jin Baobao pulled Nanny Zhou and told her the good news.
Nanny Zhou didn’t know who Qi Mubai was, and Jin Baobao actually didn’t know the specific relationship between them. Anyway, as long as the young lady was happy, that was all that mattered.
Seeing that Yu Shengsheng was very emotional and different from before, she always endured it. While she felt distressed, she was also happy for her.
However, a layer of worry can't help but fill my heart.
The young lady has a special relationship with Mr. Qi, she has had a vague feeling about it for a long time.
I'm afraid that things will see a big change when the results are announced this time.
But what about Kong Dezhao? He is a cruel and ruthless Tai Sui who is not easy to mess with.
When she thought of the fate of Princess Duanyang and the previous young lady, Nanny Zhou still felt a chill in her heart.
Nanny Zhou felt that she had to find an opportunity to mention it to Yu Shengsheng vaguely, as the young lady was a smart person and should be able to understand.
Before Nanny Zhou could find a chance to speak, Jin Baobao ran in from outside shortly after the lights were turned on and rushed to Yu Shengsheng in a few steps.
"Miss, something happened!"
