255, let's go crazy
255, let's go crazy
"Wow, the top scholar smiled at me!"
"Lu Zhuangyuan is so handsome!"
"If I could marry Mr. Lu and become his wife, I would have no regrets in my life!"
“…”
The girls upstairs thought that the new number one scholar was smiling at them. They all covered their hearts with their hands, looking intoxicated and as if their hearts were about to melt.
Only Zhao Lang, who was upstairs at the moment, knew that Lu Zhuangyuan had just accepted his flowers and smiled at him.
"Your smile is so seductive, who are you trying to seduce?" Even Zhao Lang himself didn't know how dazzling the smile on his face was when he said this.
Because of the top scholar's smile, the girls upstairs went crazy and threw even more things onto the street.
This caused the runner-up and third place winners who were riding horses behind to be hit directly.
"Lu Mingfei!" Fu Lianxin looked at Lu Mingfei's back as he rode away on horseback, feeling so angry that his teeth were itching.
"Fu Bangyan, let's hurry up and leave." Zhang Lingxuan, who was passing by, kindly reminded him, fearing that Fu Bangyan would be hit on the head by the girls upstairs if he stopped here.
“…”Fu Lianxin.
The three of them rode their horses very fast, and the team behind them was no longer visible, but the three of them ran to the front.
When they arrived at the Ye family's teahouse, Lu Mingfei and Zhang Lingxuan both slowed down their riding.
Ye Zhuoran called out to them from upstairs: "Ming Fei, Ling Xuan!"
The two looked up and saw not only Ye Zhuoran, but also their senior brother, their Mr. Fu and his wife, as well as Ye's father and mother, and Ye Zhuoran's two younger brothers and sisters, all watching them upstairs.
"Zhuoran, Senior Brother, Teacher!" Lu Mingfei waved to his classmates, friends, and teachers. He was deeply moved and happy to see these closest teachers and friends who had come to participate in their parade and witness the most important moment in their lives.
Ye Zhuoran threw down the flowers he had prepared in advance, and the others also threw things down.
Miss Ye San threw the purse she embroidered towards Lu Mingfei. When she saw that Lu Mingfei didn't catch it and her purse fell to the ground, a trace of disappointment flashed across her face.
Ye's mother noticed her daughter's expression and held her hand to comfort her: "Xi'er, that Mr. Lu is no longer someone we can dream of. I'll introduce you to other young masters later. Don't even think about Mr. Lu."
"Mother, I don't want him. I want him." Miss Ye San was unwilling to give up. She had liked Lu Mingfei since she was a child and wanted to marry him. However, she never expected that Lu Mingfei would act like a monster every time he saw her. He would avoid her every time and never accept her feelings.
Seeing her daughter's persistence, Ye's mother regretted her decision to match her daughter with Lu Mingfei. In fact, she looked down on this poor boy at first, but after seeing Lu Mingfei's progress from a student to a scholar, she began to think about marrying her daughter to him.
However, what she didn't expect was that this poor boy refused to accept the olive branch thrown out by the mother and daughter!
At that time, she thought that if the other party was unwilling, then forget it, she would find a matchmaker to introduce a better marriage for her daughter.
However, they never imagined that this poor scholar would pass the imperial examinations and become a Juren, and then the Zhuangyuanlang. Now that he has become the Zhuangyuan, and has been granted an official position by the court, he is no longer someone they can reach.
Thinking of this, Ye's mother felt a little regretful. Why didn't she discuss her daughter's marriage with the Lu family earlier? As a result, her daughter's marriage has not been finalized until now. Her daughter is determined to marry this poor boy.
Seeing Lu Mingfei riding on a horse in red, Miss Ye San liked him even more. She grabbed her mother's hand and said with a determined look, "Mother, I heard from my eldest brother that Mr. Lu's marriage has not been decided yet. Please find a time to go to his house and talk to his family about my marriage with him."
"He and my brother were classmates, and he also knows our family. His mother would definitely be willing to marry into our family."
"But..." Ye's mother hesitated, worried that the Lu family wouldn't agree to let their son, who had passed the imperial examination, marry a merchant's daughter. She also worried that this would upset Lu Mingfei and affect his relationship with her son.
After all, compared to a daughter, a son's future is more important.
"Mother, once he gets engaged to another girl, I won't have a chance!"
"...Okay, I'll find a time to go to his house and feel out his family."
However, Ye's mother changed her mind and decided to go to the Lu family to test Lu's mother's opinion. If the other family did not agree, they would just let it go. At that time, they would be able to stop their daughter's thoughts and find a good family for her to marry off.
If the other family agrees, they will give their daughter more dowry and marry her to the Lu family. This will not only satisfy their daughter's infatuation, but also strengthen their relationship with Lu Zhuangyuan. It can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
At this time, Lu Mingfei didn't know that the mother and daughter of the Ye family were planning his marriage. He took the flowers thrown by Ye Zhuoran, waved to his senior brother and teacher, and rode forward on his horse.
On this side, Zhang Lingxuan also caught the flowers thrown by Ye Zhuoran. He and the person who threw the flowers met each other's eyes. For a moment, he rode his horse and forgot to follow Lu Mingfei and left.
"Let's go quickly, Mingfei has already left." Ye Zhuoran, who was still upstairs, noticed that another good friend had left and reminded Zhang Lingxuan.
Zhang Lingxuan gave Ye Zhuoran a look that said "I'll come back to you" before riding away on his horse.
***
At this time, both sides of the street were full of people. The top scholar in red appeared on the street on horseback and slowly walked towards the braised food shop.
Lu Mingrui, who was sitting on his father's shoulders, saw his brother riding a horse coming towards them and shouted, "Dad, Mom, it's my brother, my brother is here!"
"Brother, it's my brother who is here!" At this time, Lu Mingcong and Zhang Xiaobao were standing on the stools. When they saw their brother coming, they both jumped up.
"Yes, it's Fei Ge'er who's back!" When Liu Sanniang saw her eldest son riding a horse towards them, tears flowed uncontrollably.
The others also saw Lu Mingfei riding towards them on horseback.
Many people from Shihua Village also came today. Their village chief and village head, as well as old clan leaders Lu and Wang, several clan elders and some young people all went into the city. Now they were all standing at the door of the braised food shop.
When he returned to the door of his shop, Lu Mingfei dismounted and said to his father and mother, "Father, mother, I'm back."
"Hey, you look so smart and handsome in this outfit." Lu Youtian held his eldest son's hand, his eyes instantly reddened. "Dad never dreamed that you would get the top spot in the imperial examination. You're really bringing honor to Dad and your mother."
Liu Sanniang held her eldest son's hand, tears streaming down her face.
"Brother!" Lu Mingrui and Lu Mingcong ran to their brother's side, hugging his waist from the left and the back.
Lu Mingfei touched the heads of his two younger brothers. Seeing that the village chief, the head of the neighborhood, and the old clan leader had all arrived, he came over to greet these elders, and did not forget to call him his adoptive father and mother.
Seeing his brothers looking at the horse he had ridden back, he asked, "Do you two want to try riding on the horse?"
"I do! Is that okay?" After Lu Mingrui nodded, he turned to look at his brother with a face full of caution and expectation.
Lu Mingcong also looked at their eldest brother, his face full of eagerness to try.
Only Zhang Xiaobao had an expression that showed he really wanted to but was afraid to do so.
Today, Zhang Qi also returned to the city from the workshop, and came back specifically to watch their eldest young master riding a horse in the parade.
"Of course you can, but you can only sit for a while and then get off." Lu Mingfei took his three younger brothers one by one and put them on the horse's back, letting them feel what it was like to ride a big horse. Finally, he encouraged his three younger brothers, "If you pass the imperial examination in the future, you can also ride a horse and travel all over Kyoto like your brother did today."
"Brother, I will study hard!" Lu Mingrui looked at his brother wearing a red robe and a top scholar hat, and longed to become the top scholar.
Only Lu Mingcong and Zhang Xiaobao did not dare to respond, because they knew that even if they studied until death, they would not be able to pass the imperial examination.
Zhang Qi looked at his younger brother with an expression of disappointment.
"You don't have to take the imperial examination, and you can do other things you like." Lu Mingfei rubbed the heads of the two silent boys, then came back to his father and said, "Dad, I have to go to the Qionglin Banquet soon, and I'm afraid I won't be back until very late. I'll leave this place to you and Mom to entertain everyone."
"Okay, go ahead and don't worry. We will make arrangements at home." Lu Youtian said.
Lu Mingfei glanced at his adoptive father.
Lu Qingfeng understood and said to his adopted son, "You go ahead. Your adoptive father is here to help today."
"Okay, then I'll go first." Lu Mingfei said a few words to his family, apologized to the elders and tribesmen who came from the tribe, and then rode his horse to continue the parade.
This time, there was no one he wanted to meet, so he rode his horse slowly on the street, waiting for the people behind him to come up.
I thought Zhang Lingxuan fell behind and went to meet someone, but he didn't expect that Fu Lianxin would find him first.
"The peony flower that Mr. Lu is wearing is so beautiful. I wonder which girl gave it to you?" Fu Lianxin couldn't help asking when he saw the peony flower pinned on Mr. Lu's ear.
Seeing Fu Lianxin riding his horse towards him, Lu Mingfei suddenly wanted to tease the young master when he saw that Young Master Fu was so serious. So, he deliberately leaned close to Young Master Fu's ear and whispered to him in a low voice: "It's not a gift from the young lady, it's a gift from the young master."
"Do you want one? I have several more here." He was holding a flower in his hand, which was given to him by his younger brothers at home.
"...I don't want it. You can keep it and wear it slowly." Fu Lianxin said with a look of disgust.
"Hahaha..." Suddenly, Lu Mingfei felt that this Young Master Fu was still a little cute.
They didn't have to wait too long before Zhang Lingxuan came over on horseback.
After the three of them met up, they discussed for a while and decided to ride back to find the large group that had fallen behind. Fortunately, the streets of Kyoto Prefecture were all cleared today, so they could ride back and forth on the streets without any problem.
