This day marks the end of the last day of the Autumn Examination.
When Lu Qian came out of the examination room, his sister was already waiting outside to take him home.
"Brother, how did you do on the exam?"
"It should be okay, let's go. Let's go back first."
The chubby young master had been taking exams for the past few days and was feeling a bit exhausted. Darong's Autumn Examination was held every three days, three consecutive times.
There's no exaggeration to say you'll be stuck in the exam hall for days straight. The exams are held every three days, with two days in between for rest.
However, students will rush back to study for the next exam after the exam. It is important to take advantage of this last minute opportunity.
Seeing that her elder brother was a little tired but in good spirits, Lu Wan felt relieved and thought that his grades would be good.
Seeing Lu Qian get on the carriage and lean against it to rest with his eyes closed, Lu Wan did not disturb him to rest.
The carriage returned to the Lu residence. When the brother and sister got off the carriage, they saw their mother coming out eagerly to greet them.
After Lu Qian entered the mansion, he went straight back to his room to wash up and rest.
Mrs. Lu pulled her daughter aside to question her.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Mrs. Lu nodded and smiled happily, thinking that Lu Wan had told her that the situation was not bad.
…
The next day.
A matchmaker went to the Su residence to propose marriage, and his efficiency was amazing.
Lu Qian was completely unaware of this matter. The little fat boy's family was a marriage arranged by his parents and matchmaker.
The matter was decided without even informing the parties involved. The fat young master now has no status in the mansion.
But of course Lu Wan knew about this, and she also agreed with it.
Last time I went to Qingyun Villa with Yuchi Shuang and others, and also had contact with Su Yanan. I felt that everything was good. Well, my sister-in-law was very satisfied.
As the guardian of the Lu family, Lu Youwei nodded and said two words after hearing his daughter-in-law say that she was going to the Su family to propose marriage.
"Can."
Then, Mr. Lu wrote a letter and asked the matchmaker to take it over.
So, while the little fat boy was still sleeping, his lifelong affairs had already been arranged properly.
He was kept in the dark until Lu Wan came to his yard and called him to get up.
Today, Lu Qian woke up late, which was rare. After being called by Lu Wan, he slowly washed up.
Lu Wan, in a cheerful mood, said to her elder brother,
"Brother, my family sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to you this morning."
Lu Qian paused and turned to look at his sister in disbelief. He was halfway through brushing his teeth when he mumbled incoherently.
Lu Wan smiled and said, "Don't get excited, big brother. Mother said that they went to the Su Mansion, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel."
Lu Qian didn't react for a moment, didn't hear it clearly, threw away the toothbrush, and asked with a look of fear,
"How many pounds?"
That’s right, many wealthy families in the capital are now using toothbrushes from Xincheng, and the Lu Mansion is no exception.
"A daughter." Lu Wan didn't quite understand what her brother meant by asking this question.
"...this..." Lu Qian was so frightened that his voice trembled. "That crazy woman at the last literary gathering wasn't even a thousand pounds, right? This is too scary, isn't it?"
Hearing him say this, Lu Wan wanted to roll her eyes. Was he talking about weight? Ninety percent of the time, Big Brother was frightened and had a seizure.
Lu Wancai explained it again.
"It's not about how many pounds. Listen carefully, big brother. It's the daughter of the Su Mansion and the Minister's family. Do you understand, Miss? Does the talented lady Su know?"
"Oh. I see." Lu Qian felt relieved.
"I've seen it before, at the literary gathering, and also at the poetry club that Shuang'er set up this time, which she and I started together.
What a great woman, talented and pretty. You are so lucky, brother.
Grandpa has already sent a letter to Lord Su, so this is almost certain."
"Well, I've heard of this person. Many classmates have talked about him." Lu Qian said calmly.
Seeing her elder brother so calm, Lu Wan asked in disbelief,
"Brother, aren't you excited? How many people want to marry her but can't, and you don't feel anything about a wife like this?"
"What's the point of feeling? It's just living together, so just marry me. It doesn't matter who you live with."
"Brother, you have a problem."
"I'm fine."
"Are you thinking about some young lady?"
"I don't."
"Tell me, if it doesn't work, I'll talk to my mother and grandfather, maybe there will be a turning point."
"There's no turning point. So that's it. It's good."
There was no way Lu Qian would admit it, and the chubby young master now felt that he had given up and was indifferent to it. As long as he was not a heavyweight player, it would be fine.
Lu Wan didn't ask anything and looked at her elder brother doubtfully, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.
"How about you come with me to the poetry club today and meet your future wife?" Lu Wan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm not really interested. I'd rather read more books. If nothing unexpected happens, I still have a good chance of participating in the Spring Examination at the beginning of the year."
Lu Qian has entered the study mode. Humph, women will only affect the little fat boy's enthusiasm for learning.
This lukewarm performance made Lu Wan, who was originally quite happy to come and tell her elder brother the good news, feel a little depressed.
At this time, Yuchi Shuang happened to come to find Lu Wan and was going to the Qingyun Villa Poetry Club. When he came to the east of the city, he wanted to ask her to go with him.
I heard that Lu Qian did well in the autumn examination, so Yuchi Shuang naturally wanted to invite him over.
I had agreed to participate before, and I felt embarrassed to disturb him before the Autumn Examination, so I naturally won't let him go this time.
In the end, Lu Qian lost the vote with a one to two margin and was pulled away by the two of them. He rode a horse behind their carriage to Qingyun Villa.
…
Outside the capital.
Yuchi Zhong's army was returning and approaching the capital.
At noon, the army arrived and set up camp on the banks of the Rongjiang River, ten miles outside the east gate of the capital.
Yuchi Zhong and Yang Hongjin, along with their personal guards, headed straight for the capital.
After entering the city gate, they went directly to the imperial palace, while at the same time, soldiers who reported the news went to the general's mansion.
In the general's mansion, Jiang Hai finished his morning light skills training.
After practicing for a while, Jiang Hai has begun to get the hang of it. The wall that Wen Hui couldn't climb before should be no problem for him now.
I have just finished my meal with my wife.
Jiang Hai said, "My lady, it's getting late..."
Ding Wu then called out to someone at the gate of the yard, informing them that the master would be back today.
"Oh, Daddy is back." The eldest lady slapped his dirty hands away and rushed out of the house to confirm the situation with Ding Wu.
"The messenger said that the master has gone to the palace now and should be back home later."
"Okay, got it."
Yuchi Ziling nodded to show that she understood, and Ding Wu took his leave.
Back in the house, Yuchi Ziling said with mixed feelings,
"Oh, I wonder what Dad will do when he hears he's being transferred west."
"My lady, don't worry. Leaving this capital city full of mixed people is actually a good thing. Maybe old Taishan will have some free time." Jiang Hai comforted her.
