A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Shaoyu returned home after finishing the exam. He read at home for a few days and did not come out until the day when the results were released.
If everyone in the Lu family hadn't had confidence in his talents, they would have thought that he had been shocked. But it was difficult to tell anything from Lu Shaoyu's expression. He was simply a smaller version of Lu Yi.
As for Mu Zhenghan, he was even more relaxed. After the exam, he didn't care about his grades. He invited a few good friends to go horse riding at the resort.
Lu Shaoyu is very low-key and usually makes friends with few people.
But Mu Zhenghan is different. Because he has a cheerful personality and has many good friends with him. In addition, Mu Siyu is his sister. Once this name is given out, I don’t know how many people want to curry favor with him.
He is not stupid, he can clearly distinguish who is sincere and who is fake.
At this time, he was no longer the country boy who had just left the village. He never did anything like a sinner, but only exchanged sincerity for sincerity, and replaced pretense with pretense.
"The list has been posted." The servant ran in from outside, "Madam, the list has been posted."
In order to wait for the results to be posted, Mu Siyu has been staying at home these days, occasionally going to Lu Xuan's mansion to check on the progress of the renovation.
She often invited Su Zhiliu to Lu Xuan's house, and if Su Zhiliu didn't like it, she would immediately change it.
"Did you see their names?"
"I saw it. Mr. Han won the top twelve places. As for the young master, I hadn't finished posting it when I came back, so I didn't see the previous rankings."
Shang Zhi said next to him: "The lists are posted starting from the lower rankings. The better the rankings, the longer they have to wait before they are posted. This can be considered to whet everyone's appetite."
"I know." After Mu Siyu finished speaking, he said to the servant, "Thank you for your hard work, Shang Zhi. Please reward me."
The servant received the reward and retired happily.
After a while, Qin Wenhan came in under the leadership of a servant.
"I come down to say congratulations to Madam." Qin Wenhan said with cupped hands, "Congratulations to Mr. Xiao Han for winning the top 12, and Mr. Yu for winning the first prize."
"Jie Yuan?" Mu Siyu was surprised, "How do you know? There is no news from the people I sent out yet!"
"Haha, of course I have a connection." Qin Wenhan said with a smile, "This news must be reliable, Madam, just don't worry."
"In order to avoid suspicion, Madam asked the Second Master not to interfere in this matter, so she didn't send anyone to inquire." Chanyi said.
"Starting from today, Mr. Han will also be lifting people. Young Master Yu is not only lifting people, but also taking the first place. It's really a sight!" Qin Wenhan said, "Today I will shamelessly ask for a drink."
"Of course, I will hold a banquet today, and I won't invite anyone else, only my family and friends." After Mu Siyu finished speaking, he asked the servant to call Lu Shaoyu and Mu Zhenghan over.
The two of them were at home, but they didn't come to the lobby.
Lu Shaoyu had nothing to be afraid of, but Mu Zhenghan didn't have much confidence in himself, so he simply turned his back and stayed in his small courtyard.
Jie Zi, who delivered the newspaper, soon came to Lu's house to deliver the list. The ranking was exactly as Qin Wenhan said, which made everyone feel at ease.
The news spread quickly, and more and more people came to visit.
Seeing more and more people sending congratulatory gifts, Mu Siyu knew that these people were doing it for Lu Yi's sake. This was also the most basic social interaction and it would be inappropriate to refuse, so she accepted it and rescheduled the date for the banquet.
.
The official date for the banquet is three days later, and only people with whom we have good friends will be invited tonight, including Su Zhiliu, his future sister-in-law.
The Su family and the Lu family are traveling more and more frequently, and the good things between the two families are getting closer and closer. Of course, a good day like this must come to take advantage of it. The more glorious the Lu family is, the more prosperous the Su family will be.
In such a good day, as one of the most generous owners, Mu Siyu did not treat his clerks harshly. According to the past rules, each clerk had two taels of silver.
"I met my second aunt when I was going out, and she said a lot of mean things." Su Zhiliu poured water for Mu Siyu and said, "According to what she said, I was very scheming and wanted to flatter you early on."
, so I asked for this marriage."
"Why do you care about her?" Mu Siyu said, "Since ancient times, excellent people have always been easily hated by others."
Su Zhiliu smiled.
"The younger generation of our family is almost done with their affairs, and your marriage to your second uncle is about to happen." Mu Siyu said, "My second uncle is a little bored. If you dislike him, just tell me and I will help you deal with him."
"I'm bored too." Su Zhiliu said, "I don't know how to behave like ladies."
"You talk like I'm a lady. If you don't show your teeth and just obey orders, I won't be willing to be your sister-in-law!"
"But I am quite nervous to be your sister-in-law." Su Zhiliu looked at Lu Shaoyu who was surrounded by the crowd, "After all, not every child can become Jieyuan. You make me very stressed."
"The Lu family has no shortage of literati, but they haven't found a military general yet. Aren't you good at martial arts? Then train a martial arts champion."
Su Zhiliu's eyes were full of glow.
Mu Siyu's words touched her heart.
Compared with the glamorous Wen Zhuangyuan, she preferred the heroic Wu Zhuangyuan.
General Su drank a lot, so Lu Yi let him spend the night in his house. Mrs. Su had no choice but to stay with her daughter.
After Mrs. Su and Su Zhiliu looked at General Su who drank too much, they went to another wing under the leadership of the servant.
"Madam..." Lu Xuan came over.
Mrs. Su looked at her future son-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more pleasing she became. She said with a smile, "Has Mr. Lu drunk too much?"
"Thank you for your concern, madam. I don't have a good drinking capacity, so I only had two drinks."
"This is good, unlike our master who drinks even when he can't. You young people should pay attention to your health." Mrs. Su said, "You talk to Liu'er. I'm tired too, so I'll go to bed first."
Su Zhiliu was a little reserved. She was always generous and rarely showed timidity.
"Second Master, do you have something to say?"
Lu Xuan looked at her: "I thought you were quite brave."
I didn't expect that there would be such uncomfortable times.
When I usually see her, she is very open-minded. When she looks at him, she doesn't look sideways and looks directly into his eyes.
"I'm a little sleepy." Su Zhiliu would not admit defeat.
"I accidentally found a dagger that is as sharp as clay. I thought you might like it and gave it to you." Lu Xuan took out a dagger from his sleeve.
Su Zhiliu took it and opened it, the light flickering.
"Nice dagger."
"As long as you like it."
"Everyone else gives you rouge and gouache, so how can you give me a dagger?"
"If you like rouge and gouache, I can also give it to you." Lu Xuan said, "But I think you don't lack those. This dagger is rare, so you should like it."
Su Zhiliu was blessed: "Thank you very much."
"It's too late. You should go back and rest." Lu Xuan said, "My sister-in-law has to receive a lot of guests in the past few days. With her temperament, she will definitely take you with her, and you will be tired."
