Chapter 572: Two No.1 Scholars in One Family
When Shanshan woke up, she felt refreshed.
"I was surprised that the young master didn't cry or make a fuss last night." The nurse eavesdropped outside the door several times at night, but did not hear any crying at all.
I secretly opened the door and took a few looks.
The brother and sister slept very soundly and didn't make any noise at all.
"Yes, since he was born, Master Shanshan has woken up crying every night." And his screams were so shrill that even calling in the imperial physician was of no avail.
Lu Chaochao sat up with two curls on his forehead and sleepy eyes.
Shanshan obediently reached out her hand to the wet nurse.
"Oh, our little master wants to drink milk. He is so good. I wish he could be so good every day."
"Princess, breakfast has been prepared in the mansion. I will serve you."
Lu Chaochao had just woken up and his speech was still a little unclear.
"Where's the mother?"
The maid covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Madam has been waiting at the door for a long time. The results of the palace examination will be announced today."
When Lu Chaochao heard this, his mind instantly became clear.
"Let me wear a red dress, something festive." Today is a good day for the third brother.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw magpies chirping around outside the window.
"Oh, the magpie is here to announce good news. Today will be auspicious." The little maid outside the door had just finished speaking when she heard knocking sounds coming from outside the door.
"Ah, it's the sound of drums announcing good news."
Before Lu Chaochao had time to eat breakfast, he hurried towards the gate.
Sure enough, my mother was wiping her tears with excitement, and my father Rong was ordering people to give the wedding money to my father-in-law who brought the good news.
This is the number one scholar chosen by His Majesty, and the eunuch has come in person to announce the good news.
The eunuch saw the princess running towards him in small steps and did not dare to take her in. But General Rong said: "I want to get some of the top scholar's good luck."
The father-in-law accepted it respectfully, but he couldn't spend the money.
It must be passed down from generation to generation.
He adopted several orphans as his adopted sons and daughters, so that he would have descendants in the future.
Xu Shiyun said with red eyes: "Go prepare some incense, candles, and paper money, and go to the ancestral hall of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion to burn incense. To comfort the ancestors."
Dengzhi pouted slightly: "Madam, what good news are you reporting to the Lu family?"
She really had no good feelings towards the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion.
Rong Che grinned secretly: "You, don't understand the lady's thoughts."
"Two top scholars in one family, how great is this honor? This is a treatment that only the ancestors' graves can produce."
"The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion has handed over this great opportunity, so of course we have to go and announce the good news." Rong Che had already prepared incense, candles, and paper money, and took Yunniang out.
Dengzhi chuckled.
"This is not a happy report at all. I'm afraid that even the ancestors of the Lu family would jump up and down." Chunchun went to seek revenge.
Dengzhi likes to do this the most, but she cannot leave the house without someone, so she has to stay and take charge of the situation.
I could only watch them burn paper.
Several descendants of the Lu family followed Xu Shiyun.
Before long, the children had grown up and were able to protect their mother. No longer in the miserable state of being kicked out of home.
Lu Chaochao tilted his head and thought about it, then secretly stood in the corner. She made hand gestures and whispered, "Emperor Fengdu, please invite the elders of our Lu family to come to the mortal world for a chat."
She remembered that the old lady and Lu Yuanze were still being tortured on the eighteenth floor.
Excuse me, she wants to open the back door.
The mansion of Marquis Zhongyong was completely burned down by Lu Yuanze's fire, but fortunately the ancestral hall was far away and escaped the disaster.
At this moment, spider webs were crisscrossed and maids and servants were clearing the way in front.
The ground was covered with moss and was charred everywhere from the fire. After being washed by the rain, there was still a slight smell of decay.
The grass around the courtyard wall was already waist-high, and everyone barely managed to walk through the path to the ancestral hall.
Although the ancestral hall was not burned down, it had been exposed to the wind and sun for several years and no one had taken care of it. The once solemn ancestral hall had become extremely dilapidated.
The door was shaky and covered with spider webs.
Lu Chaochao blinked and looked towards a gloomy place in the corner.
Sure enough, standing in the ancestral hall was an old lady with loose hair and Lu Yuanze, who looked incredulous. The figures of the two were transparent, as if they were so weak that they could be blown away by the wind.
The old lady looked at everything familiar crazily. She cried and laughed as she touched and looked around in the ancestral hall.
But the sunlight leaking through the hole in the roof made her wail in pain and hide back in the corner.
'I'm back? Am I back at the Marquis’ Mansion? '
'This is my home, this is our home, Yuanze...' The old lady was tortured day after day in the eighteenth level of the underworld. She dreamed of returning to the starting point, back to the Marquis' Mansion.
She is an old lady who enjoys her life, a filial and well-behaved grandson, and a simple and honest daughter-in-law who serves her wholeheartedly.
'Has the mansion become so dilapidated? 'Lu Yuanze murmured in a low voice, looking at the ancestral tablets on the ground, big tears falling.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door.
With a squeak, the spider web was blown away and the maids and servants filed in.
The old lady screamed, "It's Yunniang, I knew it was Yunniang!" Yunniang has always been a filial child. When my feet hurt in winter, she used her body to warm my feet. '
'I was in pain, and she stayed up all night to give me a massage. '
'When I want to eat buns at night, she will get up and make them herself without fear of the hard work. '
Lu Yuanze said faintly: "Then why torture her? '
The old lady's voice stopped abruptly.
After a long while, he said, "You don't love her either." '
The two fell silent suddenly.
They watched as the tall, serious man carefully helped Yunniang into the house. After not seeing each other for a few years, Yunniang didn't look old at all. Instead, she looked younger than before, and she seemed to be overflowing with happiness.
"It's dirty here, don't get your skirt dirty." Rong Che felt distressed when he saw the dust on the corners of her clothes.
"How can you be so delicate?" Yunniang said with a smile.
"The Marquis' Mansion, which was so prominent in the past, has now become extinct, and even its inheritance has been cut off." Dengzhi couldn't help but sigh. Who could have thought that the Marquis' Mansion would become so destitute.
In the corner, the old lady's face was full of regret.
The Marquis's family has no heirs and is extinct.
Hahahaha, the Lu family was defeated by them.
Lu Yuanze stared at Yunniang and the children beside her.
"Although I have been expelled from the family tree and am not considered a descendant of the Lu family, I was born to you after all, so let's burn some incense to them. Let them see that we can still survive even if we leave the Marquis' Mansion." Yunniang's voice was light, but there was a hint of boasting in it.
"The eldest son who was lame back then is now ruling the Southern Kingdom."
"Zheng Yue, the playboy in the past, is now a general guarding the border."
"Yuan Xiao, the most foolish Yuan Xiao back then, has become the top scholar today. He has become the second top scholar in our family..."
"Oh, they all passed the imperial examinations."
"As for Chao Chao, there's no need to say more. With her around, the three realms dare not invade. Who wouldn't be in awe of our family now? It's a pity that the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion is not blessed."
"I won the Lantern Festival championship today, and I came to tell you the good news. Let me share in your happiness..."
Rong Che popped his head out from behind him: "I am blessed, I am blessed. Let's go to the Rong family and burn some incense later. We got some promising children for free."
Tears of blood flowed from Lu Yuanze's eyes.
They are like clowns hiding in the shadows, spying on Yunniang's happiness.
Peeping at the happiness that originally belonged to them.
