Chapter 402 You Are Dreaming
Lu Qiao continued to look at the account books, feeling relaxed and at ease in the cool breeze.
Suddenly, a burst of shouting broke the silence.
"Third sister, third sister, third sister, are you there, are you there?"
As Lu Chao walked into Qixia Courtyard, Yun Zha bowed and saluted: "This servant greets the young master."
"No need to be polite." Lu Chao raised his hand: "Is your young lady here?"
"In the warm room..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chao walked past her towards the warm room, knocked twice, and pushed the door open without waiting for Lu Xiang to speak: "Xiangxiang... Hey, Sixth Sister is here too."
Lu Qiao: “…”
Why did she hear a hint of disdain?
"Brother is back."
Lu Xiang put down the notebook in his hand, turned his head to look at Lu Chao, and said expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"
Lu Qiao lowered her head and pretended to look at the account book, trying hard to reduce her presence, but her two ears were quietly perked up.
The eldest brother is really strong-willed. Even after being beaten like this by the third sister, he can still come to her happily.
"I've finished the exam, don't you even congratulate me?" Lu Chao touched his chest and felt a dull pain for no apparent reason, which was really the aftereffect of being beaten. He then moved a chair next to Lu Xiang's bed and sat down.
Lu Xiang: "Have some shame, the results haven't been announced yet."
Lu Qiao curled her lips and tried hard to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.
Lu Chao choked.
Dear sister, don’t be angry.
"I came to you to verify my results." Lu Chao grinned, and then told him the questions in the past few days and his answers in detail: "...How is it? I think I handed in a perfect answer sheet. I'm sure I'll pass the imperial examination, right?"
Lu Qiao really wanted to roll her eyes. Third sister was right. Big brother, please have some shame.
Lu Xiang rolled her eyes decisively. Although she knew the result of Lu Chao's autumn exam after hearing it, she didn't want to admit it at this time. Although she had predicted the autumn exam questions from her experience in her previous life, the final result had not come out after all.
The real results will only be known on the day the results are announced.
"Who gave you the confidence?" Lu Xiang glanced at Lu Chao.
Lu Chao looked at Lu Xiang seriously: "You."
Lu Xiang: “…”
I really appreciate your esteem for me.
"At least 90% of the content for this autumn exam is in those books that my second uncle forced me to read. My second uncle said that you sorted out these key points for him. To be honest, third sister, you are amazing."
Lu Xiang: “Thank you.”
"But third sister, you care so much about Qiao Yuanan, are you interested in him?" Lu Chao suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiang glared at him.
“……”I really want to beat this guy to death.
Lu Chao was so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth and made a sewing motion.
"Mmmmm!"
Lu Qiao asked speechlessly: "Brother, what did you say?"
“Mmmm…” As he said this, he glanced at Lu Xiang, implying that Lu Xiang didn't let him speak.
"If you're here to talk nonsense, you can leave now." Lu Xiang said unhappily.
Lu Chao paused, and under the pressure of being beaten by Lu Xiang again, he said: "I came to ask you for help..."
Halfway through his words, Lu Xiang interrupted without hesitation: "No help."
Lu Chao was so angry that he choked: "I didn't even tell you what I wanted you to do for me, but you refused?"
Lu Xiang looked at Lu Chao expressionlessly, with an air of resistance emanating from her whole body. "If it wasn't for my sister-in-law, would I let you sit here and talk so peacefully?"
"We are siblings, are you really so heartless?"
Lu Chao lazily raised his eyelids: "Can I unilaterally break off relations with you?"
Lu Chao: “…”
What kind of sister is this? She makes him so mad!
"No, I don't agree." Lu Chao refused righteously: "You want to get rid of me? You're dreaming."
Lu Xiang couldn't touch his forehead.
Lu Qiao blinked her eyes and looked at Lu Chao, who was getting braver and braver as he was abused. She smiled and asked, "Brother, what do you want me to do for you?"
Lu Chao gave Lu Qiao a sensible look.
Look, this is the correct way to open your sister's mouth. Lu Xiang, you should learn from her.
Lu Xiang said, the gate is there, you can go by yourself.
Lu Chao quickly collected his wandering thoughts and said to Lu Xiang, "What if... I said what if, I fail to pass the imperial examination this time, you must help me go to the Qiao family to ask for mercy, and let your sister-in-law come back with me. I promise that if I fail this time, I will definitely pass the imperial examination in three years."
“What about your confidence?”
Lu Chao curled his lips and said quietly, "You can be confident, but you have to be prepared. Everyone in the Qiao family likes you very much. If you say one word for me, it's better than a thousand words from me."
"Look." Lu Xiang said.
Even if Lu Chao really failed the exam, as long as his sister-in-law was willing to come back, the Qiao family would not object.
"You are really a good sister to my brother." Hearing this, Lu Chao laughed and patted Lu Xiang on the shoulder: "Then I will leave it to you when the time comes. I will go back to sleep first."
Although he didn't nod, the interpretation of these two words almost means that he is willing to help him.
After Lu Chao finished speaking, he stood up and left happily.
Lu Xiang rubbed her shoulder which was a little troubled by Lu Chao's pat, and seriously suspected that this guy was deliberately taking revenge on her.
In the evening, Lu Youping came back from the government office, and the Lu family went to the old lady's Fuyuan Hall for dinner. Zhao Qingya, the old lady's favorite concubine, also sat at the same table.
Lu Youping expressed his hard work to Lu Chao, and then told him to relax. If he failed this time, he could study hard for three years and not put too much pressure on himself.
Lu Youping had a good idea of his son's level. He didn't expect Lu Chao to pass the autumn examination, so Lu Chao's participation in the autumn examination was already a kind of comfort to Lu Youping. It didn't matter if he didn't do well in the exam.
This is not well prepared.
Lu Chao nodded modestly, not wanting to make such boastful statements in front of his father.
"Some people study hard for decades but still fail to pass the imperial examination, while others can enter the official career without doing anything. It's also your father's fault that he has no ability and can directly assign you to the six ministries." Lu Youping took a sip of wine and suddenly felt something.
Everyone at the table looked at him.
The old lady asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"That Xiao Muheng." Lu Youping couldn't help but grit his teeth when he mentioned Xiao Muheng. "He fainted in the examination room because he was not capable enough, and was carried out and missed the exam. But guess what, he was sent to the Imperial College by Prime Minister Liu today. Although he started as a seventh-rank official, many talented people failed to pass the imperial examination and show their talents, but he took the back door and got the job directly. How do you think those students who worked hard to take the exam in the Imperial College will think? Isn't it infuriating?"
