Chapter 281: Three Days for Funeral
"Mom, is grandma still alive?" Lu Chaochao asked Xu seriously.
Xu nodded: "You still care about her?"
The little guy hated the old lady's vicious heart the most. How could she be so kind?
"She is still hanging on to her last breath. Today the clan leader opened the ancestral temple to allow Lu Yuanxi and Lu Jinghuai to recognize their ancestors, which made the old lady so angry that she vomited blood. I guess she can't hold on any longer."
Lu Chaochao said "oh".
"I heard that there will be an exam tomorrow? Is Chaochao ready?" asked Mrs. Xu.
Lu Chaochao blinked her eyes and said, "I'm ready."
"Mom, I'm going back to review my lessons." After saying that, he skipped back to his room.
The little boy put his hands together and said: "Grandma's life is too painful, let her go soon."
He bowed reverently before climbing onto the bed.
It is impossible to review the lessons.
The next day, before dawn, Yu Shu helped her wash up.
"You can't be late today. The Prime Minister said he wants to test your knowledge."
Lu Chaochao didn't even open her eyes, her little face was red from sleeping, and she asked the maids to wash her.
I was so focused on the exam that I didn't even have the appetite to eat breakfast. She ate two bites with sleepy eyes, and before leaving, she kicked Zhuifeng's broken bowl, making it clang loudly.
"Get up and chase the wind."
"A day's plan begins in the morning. Get up and watch the door."
"Look at me, I get up so early."
Lu Chaochao was angrily awakening the confused Zhuifeng and climbed into the carriage.
Zhuifeng wagged his tail and looked at the empty bowl in front of him.
What a dog!
"Let's take a detour to Prime Minister Yuan's house." Lu Chaochao hung his head, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
"The disciples should go and give warmth to the teacher."
When he arrived at the gate of Yuan's house, he rushed into the main courtyard of the Yuan family with his short legs.
The maids and servants dared not stop Princess Zhaoyang and could only watch her act strangely.
Bang bang bang.
The door of Prime Minister Yuan’s bedroom was banged loudly.
Perhaps he was in a bad mood because of waking up, and he knocked on the door with a bit of resentment, almost knocking the door to the ground.
"Stop taking pictures, stop taking pictures. Who is here so early?" Prime Minister Yuan, with white hair and beard, opened the door in a hurry.
He didn't like having anyone serving him in his room, so he didn't keep anyone there at night.
When I opened the door, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
"Can you please lower your head?" Lu Chaochao felt discriminated against.
When Prime Minister Yuan lowered his head, he saw Lu Chaochao looking at him with resentment on his face.
"Teacher, it's time to get up and go to class. You said that a day's plan begins in the morning." The little guy looked at him innocently.
Prime Minister Yuan was so angry that he fell backwards and banged the door, thinking that Northern Zhao had been destroyed.
Just because she wakes up early?
"It's not even dawn yet!" Prime Minister Yuan was furious.
"You also know it's not light yet! I'm up, you should get up too!" Lu Chao looked at him angrily.
Yuan Shoufu gritted his teeth and said, "Get up, get up, get up! You evil thing!"
"What sins did you commit in your previous life? I have to be your teacher in this life!"
Prime Minister Yuan recalled his thoughts from the past two days, and now he moved closer to Lu Chaochao to listen.
There was no movement at all, so I felt relieved.
All the civil and military officials in the court were almost scared to death.
Lu Chaochao successfully woke up the teacher, and the resentment in his heart dissipated instantly.
"Hurry up and take out my heart pills." the teacher shouted.
"Ask the doctor to prescribe me another year's supply!"
Lu Chaochao laughed and ran towards the carriage with his small schoolbag.
"Don't worry, the old man can live another ten years without any problem." Lu Chaochao advised Yu Shu.
Furthermore, Lu Chaochao has merits and virtues. He has enlightened himself and increased his lifespan and fortune.
When Lu Chaochao was sitting in the school, it was still dark.
After reciting a book with everyone and shaking his head for a while, Prime Minister Yuan walked in with a gloomy face.
Lu Chaozhao grinned.
"Today, the school will conduct a test."
"Everyone, pay attention to review."
"Oh, I'm so scared of the test. Daddy will beat me if I don't do well on it!"
"Princess Zhaoyang, are you ready?" the children whispered to each other.
Lu Chaochao is the youngest child in the class. Although he is very intelligent and has a photographic memory.
But she interpreted it very poorly! !
She can always understand the strange meaning!
My palms are almost swollen from being hit by the Prime Minister.
Lu Chaozhao waved her little hand and said, "I didn't look at it and I didn't memorize it. Don't panic, not at all." Her little face was full of confidence.
The classmates looked at each other with joy on their faces.
"Princess Zhaoyang is not prepared, but she has someone to take the blame, so she is not afraid."
"Tell your parents that Princess Zhaoyang didn't do well in the exam either. We did it to save face for the princess. We did a little worse than her on purpose... so she'll get less slaps."
"Yes, yes, Princess Zhaoyang is so righteous." The little brothers and sisters, whose sad faces suddenly became happy.
Seeing that Princess Zhaoyang was not reading, everyone started to play leisurely.
I'm too lazy to even try to save my life at the last minute.
Prime Minister Yuan looked at them coldly.
Half an hour later: "Everyone take your books to the front desk. Prepare for the exam."
Everyone happily took the books to the front.
The children scratched their heads and Lu Chaochao felt very uncomfortable, looking at the door eagerly.
"You haven't written yet? What are you waiting for?"
Prime Minister Yuan was thinking in his heart that this time he would definitely break her little hand.
Before Lu Chaochao could speak, she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.
"My Lord Prime Minister, someone from the Lu family just came and asked Princess Zhaoyang to return home immediately." The servant was wiping his sweat with his hand, panting from running.
Prime Minister Yuan frowned slightly and put one hand behind his back.
"The princess is taking an exam today. Is there anything important?" The Prime Minister glanced at Lu Chaochao. Wow, it turns out he came prepared.
No wonder he's so calm.
The servant said, "The old lady of the Lu family has passed away, and she has come to the mansion to report the death."
"Although the princess is not considered a member of the Lu family, she still has to come out and visit."
Yuan Shoufu nodded: "You go ahead."
No wonder she was waiting all the time. Damn, she was waiting for the old lady to die so that she could take a leave!
Lu Chaochao was so happy that his eyebrows were dancing with joy, and his mouth was stretched to the back of his head.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she quickly covered her face and said, "Wow, poor old lady, you left so early..."
[What a coincidence that you left. Fortunately, I have received three days of bereavement leave.] 】
"Wuwuwu, Master, please give me three days of bereavement leave... Wuwuwu..."
"Agree!" The Prime Minister said with a dark face.
Lu Chaochao almost laughed out loud, covering her face and rushing out the door.
The classmates behind him were all confused: "Ah? The princess is going home for the funeral, what should we do? Dad will beat me to death!"
"Help, the princess has abandoned us!"
Xie Yuzhou felt as if he had lost his parents.
The last time he gave Lu Chaochao a drop of wine, he was beaten by his father, the king, and his mother. He had to lie in bed for three days before he could get out of bed.
Xie Yuzhou raised his hand tremblingly: "Master, I also want to ask for leave."
Yuan Shoufu glanced at him and asked, "Why?"
The little boy said seriously: "My father died, and I went home to attend the funeral. Please give me three days..."
Seeing the Prime Minister's grim expression, he hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Uh, one day please."
"I'll come back after I bury my father." As long as I avoid the exam, I won't be beaten, right?
Prime Minister Yuan looked at him coldly.
"Go to the Jingxi Prince's Mansion and report his death, and tell them that the prince spread rumors that he was dead."
