That afternoon, the county government posted two notices.
One is a wanted warrant.
The other is an announcement to recruit strong laborers to build an amusement park and use the labor as a tax offset.
There were people standing in front of the bulletin board.
"What's written?"
"Yes, Mr. Literary, please read it quickly."
"It says..."
When the people heard the news, they were surprised and happy.
"I have three sons in my family, and they are at their prime. If they take this job, our taxes will be settled."
"I also have a son at home."
"My son is young, but I am still strong!"
"I was worried about not being able to pay taxes, but I didn't expect Mr. Lu to announce the news. Mr. Lu is really a good official for the country and the people!"
Everyone was discussing the tax issue and did not pay attention to the wanted notice next to it.
A mysterious man wore a bamboo hat that covered most of his face. He stood in front of the wanted poster and looked at it for a long time before taking it off.
The officer had been paying attention to the movement here and stopped him: "You privately removed the wanted warrant from the government. What do you want to do?"
"Let me tell you Mr. Lu, based on his heroic deeds for the country and the people, I helped him catch this criminal thief."
When the officer heard what he said, he put down the knife in his hand and let him go.
"Just let him go like this?"
"Anyway, I can post another one. If this person is really capable, we adults can save some worry, so why not?"
The tax problem and the labor problem of building the amusement park have been solved.
At this time, Lu Xuan's provincial examination should also be over.
"An Yu, would you like to see if our wolfberry and pork liver soup is ready?"
In the kitchen, Mu Siyu was in charge, the two girls were helping, and An Yu was the sous chef.
Recently, An Yu tried his best to ask Mu Siyu for cooking lessons. Mu Siyu just handed over the work to Kite and took the time to prepare Tong's lunch and dinner and teach her on the way.
An Yu opened it, looked at it, and said, "The pork liver is ripe."
"Then you put some salt and chicken powder to taste." Mu Siyu said while frying the tofu, "Put less, they will eat it lightly."
When Lu Xuan came back, Lu Yi was called away by Mr. Jiang. He asked about Mu Siyu's whereabouts and learned that she was in the kitchen, so he brought Lu Zhiqian to the kitchen to have a look. As a result, he saw such a busy but warm scene.
"Second Master, do you want..." Lu Zhiqian wanted to ask if he wanted to call his wife, but when Lu Xuan made a silent gesture, he stopped talking.
"Let's go to the academy." Lu Xuan said, a little further away from the kitchen, "Invite the teacher to our house for dinner."
I originally wanted to invite the teacher to a restaurant for dinner, but seeing how well prepared my sister-in-law was, I gave up that idea.
The chefs outside are not as good as my sister-in-law. It seems that she has been busy for a long time. How can he let her down?
Lu Xuan first went to the academy to pay his respects to the mountain chief, and by the way, told the news to his friends in the academy.
The mountain chief looked at Lu Xuan in front of him, stroked his beard, and said lovingly: "Well done, I knew you wouldn't let me down."
"It's just that this ranking is not satisfactory and makes the teacher disappointed." Lu Xuan said.
"Hey, it's already good that you can make it into the top ten." The mountain leader said, "Yiheng just left, and his performance this time was also good. You two have brought glory to the academy."
"Today I want to invite the teacher to my house for a simple meal. My sister-in-law is in charge of the cooking, and her skills are better than those of the chefs outside. The teacher has not seen my elder brother for a long time, and I must have a lot to say to him."
The mountain chief did not refuse.
The Lu brothers were his proud disciples, and he had an extraordinary affection for them. It was indeed strange that he hadn't seen Lu Yi for some time.
Lu Xuan did not invite any other wives.
He planned to invite the ladies to a restaurant for a meal tomorrow.
"Lu Xuan..." Chu Ling jumped out from the corner, "I heard they said you were back, but I still didn't believe it! It turns out it's true."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Did you pay attention to class while I was away? You didn't talk back to Master again, right?"
"Do I seem to be such an unreliable person?" Chu Ling smiled brightly. "By the way, did you pass the exam?"
"you guess?"
"I must have passed the exam." Chu Ling said, "If you hadn't passed the exam, how could you be so happy?"
Lu Xuan said: "What are your plans tonight?"
"There are no arrangements!"
"Then come back with me for dinner!" Lu Xuan said, "My sister-in-law has cooked a lot of delicious food. She should be there for me tonight. If you have no other arrangements, just go and eat."
"Okay!" Chu Ling said, "But I will go there by myself later and I won't go with you."
"good."
Lu Xuan invited his teachers and friends, went to Wenchang Private School to pick up Lu Shaoyu and Mu Zhenghan, and then went to Weaver Girl Pavilion to pick up Lu Zhiyun.
When passing by the Tongzhi Medical Center, I found Dr. Zhu who was busy, said hello to him, and told him about having dinner at home in the evening.
"Okay, I'll go over after I finish what I'm doing."
After Lu Xuan left, the patients asked Dr. Zhu: "Who is that handsome young man?"
"My son-in-law's brother."
"Your son-in-law is Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu's younger brother is so good-looking and talented. Has there been any talk of marriage?"
"Don't think about it. Such a good young man, even if there is no marriage proposal, it won't be your daughter's turn."
The patients are also gossiping, how can they really dare to think of such a gentleman?
Doctor Zhu smiled and said: "I just came back from the provincial examination, and it seems that I passed the examination."
If I had failed the exam, my expression would not be so relaxed.
"That's a big deal! Oh, why is someone else's son so good?"
Lu Zhiyun tugged at the corner of Lu Xuan's clothes: "Uncle, let me tell you something."
"What?"
"You went to take the science examination, but you didn't know that my grandmother has a little uncle in her belly."
"Really?" Lu Xuan was surprised.
"Yes, is it a surprise? Everyone is very happy!" Lu Zhiyun pointed at Mu Zhenghan, "This uncle protects me, and the uncle in my grandmother's belly is left to me to protect."
Back in the backyard of the county government office, Lu Xuan first went to the kitchen to find Mu Siyu.
He mentioned inviting the mountain chief and Chu Ling to come over for dinner.
"Why don't you invite other masters over?" Mu Siyu asked.
"There are more than thirty concubines in the academy. If we invite them all, my sister-in-law will be very busy. I plan to invite them out for a drink tomorrow," Lu Xuan said.
"That's okay!" Mu Siyu said, "Mr. An came back with you, right? Did he pass the exam?"
"I passed the exam," Lu Xuan said, "but my ranking was outside thirty."
"It's not important, just pass the exam." Mu Siyu said, "Do I need to invite him to have dinner with me?"
Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head: "We are a family. If he comes over, he will become a foil. He still has his mother at home, so the mother and son must want to celebrate."
Mu Siyu thought the same way, but she still asked Lu Xuan what he meant.
Knowing that the mountain chief was coming, Mu Siyu added three more dishes.
"Go and see if your brother has finished his work. He doesn't know that you have come back, let alone that you invited the mountain chief. You asked him to come back early to talk to the mountain chief," Mu Siyu warned.
