Chapter 379 No One Cares About His Filial Piety
Lu Guanxuan and Fang were both very happy and wanted to tell everyone about it.
But their happiness did not last long. In the next provincial examination, Lu Juncheng failed.
When Lu Zhiran received the news, she felt a little disappointed, but not too disappointed.
It was like this in his previous life. In this life, no miracle happened, and his understanding and knowledge did not grow by leaps and bounds.
He achieved the title of scholar and became a student on government academy, which was already very good.
But Lu Guanxuan and Fang didn't think so.
For them, Lu Juncheng's failure in the exam was like the sky falling.
Lu Guanxuan's face was gloomy. "You clearly did very well in the college entrance examination, how could you fail? The Lu family spent a lot of money to send you to school and cultivated you for so many years, but you failed. Are you worthy of the Lu family's cultivation?"
Today was thought to be a happy day for celebration, and Fang was also released.
At this time, Fang reached an agreement with Lu Guanxuan and launched a verbal and written attack on Lu Juncheng.
"Did you become arrogant after passing the exam and not study hard?"
These words resonated with Lu Guanxuan. Looking at Lu Juncheng kneeling there, motionless and silent, he became even more angry.
"You rebellious son, if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't learn your lesson at all!"
As he said this, he was about to hit someone with a ruler.
Lu Juncheng's servant immediately rushed forward to protect his young master.
"Master, please don't hit me anymore. I work very hard every day and never slack off. I failed the exam because..."
Lu Juncheng immediately scolded him, "Guangping, shut up!"
His evasive attitude made Lu Guanxuan even more furious.
"You're still so secretive now. What's there that you can't say? Ah? Tell me the truth, what's going on!"
Guangping ignored Lu Juncheng's attempts to stop him and shouted, "Master, the young master failed the exam because of you! When you were beating and scolding Madam, the young master stepped forward to stop you and got hit on the teacup and injured his right arm. The doctor said it's a muscle injury and he needs to rest for three months without writing to recover."
"But the imperial examination is approaching, how dare you slack off? You've been studying hard day and night, and now your arm isn't only not healed, it's even worse. Being able to hold on through the exam is already your limit. By the time you left the exam room, you couldn't even lift your arm!"
These words made Lu Guanxuan stunned on the spot, and Fang immediately stepped forward, lifted up Lu Juncheng's sleeve, and exposed his right arm.
Fang's movements were very hasty and she did not hold back her strength. Lu Junben's already serious injuries became even more painful during the pulling. He frowned and gasped, but Fang did not care.
She grabbed Lu Juncheng's arm, her eyes blazing with fire.
There was no pity in her eyes, only regret and anger for the missed future.
Lu Guanxuan was unwilling to take this responsibility and immediately pointed at Lu Juncheng and cursed, "You are a fool. You know that your hands are so important, but you don't know how to cherish them. You are such a fool! How could I give birth to such a fool like you?"
Fang was furious. "How dare you shirk responsibility? If you hadn't hurt him, Jun'er would have definitely passed the imperial examination."
Lu Guanxuan retorted, "Oh, blame me? You are the culprit! If you hadn't done such a filthy thing to me, why would I have attacked you? I didn't beat you to death, I was already showing mercy!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and ordered the servants, "Come here, lock up this bitch for me. Without my order, she is not allowed to step out of the door!"
Someone immediately stepped forward, grabbed Fang's arm, and dragged her towards Zhichun Garden.
Fang struggled hard but couldn't break free. She cursed wildly and used all kinds of obscenities.
Lu Juncheng knelt numbly. This time, he did not stand up to protect his mother.
He realized that his protection could not win his mother's gratitude, and no one cared about all his filial piety.
Only by passing the imperial examinations can I make them smile at me.
But he messed up this matter.
Lu Guanxuan swept his cold eyes over to him, filled with a sense of disdain that seemed to be a disappointment.
"What are you still kneeling here for? Go back and heal your arm."
Lu Juncheng replied softly, "Yes."
His legs were numb and he staggered when he stood up. Guangping quickly supported him.
Lu Guanxuan admonished him again, "Although you can't use a pen during this period, you must not fall behind in reading. If you fail the exam again in three years, I will no longer have you as my son!"
Lu Juncheng agreed again and was supported by Guangping as he left.
Looking at his cowardly appearance, Lu Guanxuan became even angrier.
When Lu Guanxuan thought that he was Fang's son, he was filled with disgust.
But unfortunately, he is his only son, and the Lu family's incense has to be inherited by him...
He clearly hated him, but he couldn't do anything to him. Instead, he had to pass on the family business to him. This feeling made Lu Guanxuan feel extremely depressed.
No, he must find a way to heal himself!
Lu Zhiran soon learned about the Lu family's farce.
Cui Fu and Dan Yan couldn't bear to hear this.
"Master, how pitiful."
"He is the biological blood of the master and the mistress, why can't they treat him well?"
The two maids couldn't understand it.
Lu Zhiran was very clear about this.
Soon, Fang Jiao will be taken to the capital, and then everything will be resolved.
Lu Zhiran ordered, "Go get some top-quality bone medicine and send it to the young master. Send it with great fanfare."
She is the Princess of Jin. She sent someone to deliver medicine to Lu Juncheng, so the servants would be afraid and dare not treat him harshly.
The same goes for her scumbag father.
The matter has come to an end for the time being.
In the imperial examination, some people fail while others pass.
Students gradually came to the capital to prepare for the Spring Examination, and the capital gradually became lively.
In the blink of an eye, it was Xiao Baozhu's coming-of-age day.
The princess's coming of age ceremony is naturally grand.
At the first light of dawn, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns inside and outside.
Xiao Baozhu sat in front of the phoenix mirror in Changle Palace, and the female official in charge of ceremonies combed the first strand of her hair for her.
Adding more clothes is an important step in the coming-of-age ceremony.
The first one is a plain dress and a jade hairpin, the second one is a brocade and gorgeous pattern, and the third one is a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe.
From the plain plain clothes, to the gorgeous crabapple red embroidered gold-woven wide-sleeved skirt, and finally to the magnificent bright red embroidered gold-embroidered phoenix and pheasant robe, Xiao Baozhu seemed to have undergone a transformation from being immature and green to being calm and dignified.
The phoenix robe is as red as fire and the phoenix crown is as big as a mountain, just like the rising sun in the sky, so bright that it is impossible to look directly at it.
The queen was seriously ill, and Concubine Rou put a touch of rouge on her forehead and softened her eyes.
Adding hairpins, changing clothes, offering wine, all the procedures were carried out step by step.
Everyone congratulated in unison: "The princess has reached the age of marriage, auspicious omen for everlasting happiness——"
Xiao Baozhu's eyes searched among the crowd, and finally met the eyes of the tall and straight man. A blush appeared on her face.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, Emperor Defeng bestowed upon her the title of Qionghua, and from then on, Xiao Baozhu officially established her own household.
