Chapter 249 Three Yuan and the First
It was already evening when Lu Yanshu came back.
Mrs. Xu had already ordered people to prepare wine and food, just waiting for him to return home.
All the attendants in the house were glowing red.
"Brother, big brother... come and have dinner... Chaochao is hungry." Lu Chaochao stepped forward and pulled his eldest brother.
Lu Yanshu led Chaochao to the table.
"It's my fault for keeping Chaochao waiting for so long." He stroked Chaochao's little head.
"Mother, third brother." Lu Yanshu's eyebrows were filled with warmth.
"In the palace examination on the first day of March, Yanshu asked my ancestor's family for some rules so as not to violate His Majesty's taboos." Lu Yanshu has been paralyzed for many years, and Lu Yuanze is careless.
Taifu Xu was deeply afraid that he would violate taboos without anyone to teach him, so he invited him over early to give instructions.
"Don't be in a hurry." Mrs. Xu said with a smile in her eyes.
Lu Chaochao sat obediently on the stool, swinging his short legs back and forth.
"Taboo? What taboo?"
"The emperor's father has a good temper. Chaochao has never seen him lose his temper..." Lu Chaochao stared straight at the roasted pigeon on the table.
Xu glanced at her faintly.
"Is it possible that he only has a good temper in front of you?"
Lu Chaochao didn't believe it.
"I painted his nails and braided his hair, but he wasn't even angry. I even used his jade seal to smash walnuts..."
Lu Yuanxiao whispered: "Your name should be flashing in the book of life and death of the Lord of Hell, right?"
Lu Chaochao raised his face and said, "My name is not in the book of life and death."
Everyone laughed.
"I have to attend the palace examination tomorrow, so don't drink tonight and eat some light food. To avoid losing etiquette in front of the palace." Mrs. Xu personally prepared today's food, heavy and greasy food, and food that is easy to get on the body. eat.
Lu Chaochao didn't understand what it meant to be disrespectful in front of the palace.
Anyway, she peed on the emperor, which was a common thing in the emperor's arms.
Mrs. Xu's eyes were slightly red: "Yanshu, don't feel any psychological burden. No matter whether you win the top prize or not, my mother will be very satisfied."
"As long as you can stand up and regain your health, my mother will be satisfied."
In Chao Chao's heart, her child's life was miserable and life was worse than death.
Xu's heart felt like a knife piercing her heart.
"Mom, Yan Shu understands."
The family had a warm dinner.
The second day.
Before dawn, Mrs. Xu got up to take care of everything and personally sent Lu Yanshu out.
When Lu Chaochao got up, it was almost noon.
Mrs. Xu is holding an incense candle, her hands raised above her head and inserted into the incense burner.
"Bodhisattva bless you, Bodhisattva bless you, everything goes well..." Dengzhi clasped his hands together and murmured softly.
Xu didn't even eat breakfast and walked around the courtyard anxiously.
The servants in the palace also looked absent-minded, as if they were thinking about Lu Yanshu who was taking the imperial examination.
Lu Yanshu didn't return to his mansion until the afternoon.
Although his eyes were tired, his expression was full of energy and he looked somewhat relaxed.
"Are you tired? Go back to your room and rest." Even before Lu Yanshu came back, Mrs. Xu had beaten everyone and told them not to ask about their grades.
As smart as Lu Yanshu, you can't see the worried eyes of his family members.
"Mom, don't worry, everything is going well." Lu Yanshu said with a smile.
A big stone suddenly fell from Xu's heart.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Xu didn't ask any more questions. Lu Yanshu had been paralyzed for many years, and she didn't dare to ask for more if her son could recover.
Lu Yanshu had nothing to do, so he put aside all social activities and stayed at home to tease Lu Chaochao.
The next day.
Xu went out embarrassedly with two dark circles under her eyes.
"Mother..." Lu Yanshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Look at his mother who stayed up all night.
Xu couldn't wait any longer this time and took him directly to Suyun Pavilion.
The location of Suyun Pavilion is excellent, just opposite Fangbang. The attic is high and the view is wide.
Furthermore, I heard that the Hundred Duck Banquet in the store is very good, so I would like to try it.
Lu Chaochao visited Suyun Pavilion for the second time and found that the pavilion was full of guests and all seats were occupied.
The madam saw Lu Chaochao from afar.
"Princess Zhaoyang, please come in quickly. There is a private room reserved for you in the hotel." The madam was grateful to Lu Chaochao.
Who would have thought that opening a restaurant would be more profitable than opening Suyun Restaurant for her! !
Moreover, there are more female customers than male customers!
He is also generous and never causes trouble.
Mrs. Xu looked surprised, Suyun Guan was so embarrassed by Chao Chao?
Xiao Chaochao grinned stupidly.
Mr. Xu sat at the table, tasted the Hundred Duck Feast, and looked satisfied: "It really lives up to its reputation." The menu includes almost all the duck recipes in Beizhao.
"The store also sells braised duck heads, duck feet and duck hearts separately. Gentlemen like to pack them back and drink some wine...I heard the sales are very good." Even in Dengzhi, people have heard of Suyun Restaurant. name.
"I'll pack it up and take it home to try later." Ms. Xu nodded.
The downstairs is crowded, with all the servants here.
"Guess who will win the top prize?" Countless people were talking in the lobby.
"Of course it's Mr. Lu Yanshu. He has won Jie Yuan and Hui Yuan one after another. Who else can compete with him?"
"That's not necessarily true. This time, I heard that a dark horse has emerged."
"It seems that he is Li Zixi from Changling. He is nineteen years old and is extremely knowledgeable, as good as Lu Yanshu."
"Hey, who would have thought? I originally thought that Lu Jinghuai could win the top prize. Who would have thought that he could barely win the exam..." Everyone looked sad when they mentioned Lu Jinghuai.
"Oh, you don't know yet, right?" A man raised his eyebrows.
"My eldest cousin's brother-in-law's brother-in-law's daughter-in-law works as an errand at Lu Yuanze's house. Tsk..." The man tutted twice.
The customers in the store couldn't even eat their food, so they all urged: "Why are you trying to show off your skills? Tell me quickly!?"
The man then exclaimed: "Lu Jinghuai's article was copied!!"
"He is a big cheat!!"
"Think about it, everyone. In the early years, Lu Yanshu's reputation as a genius spread throughout the capital. Who has heard of Lu Jinghuai's name?"
Someone slapped his head: "Hey, don't tell me, I really remembered it. I lived next door to Lu Jinghuai back then. He was about seven or eight years old at the time, and he was scolded by Lord Lu every day for his endorsement."
"At that time, I didn't see any talent at all. I took it for granted, but then I got the idea."
The man nodded: "What a fool, he is full of dark thoughts."
"After Lu Yanshu was paralyzed, all the articles fell into his hands. He borrowed the talents obtained through Lu Yanshu's articles."
"A ten-year-old scholar, how attractive he is."
"Since then, Lord Lu has valued him very much."
"I heard from relatives that when Lord Lu knew the truth, he almost beat Lu Jinghuai to death. He is still recovering at home."
Everyone's eyes were so bright that there was so much gossip about the former Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
"If you think about it carefully, it's true. When Lu Yanshu became famous, Lu Jinghuai was still a mediocre person."
"After Lu Yanshu became paralyzed, he seemed to have enlightened himself overnight."
"When Lu Yanshu stood up and entered the examination room again. Oops, Lu Jinghuai plummeted..."
"Haha, you deserve it!"
"Plagiarizing Lu Yanshu's article, and even going to the house to drive Lu Yanshu away. Where can you get such a big face?"
"I don't know if Mr. Lu will regret it later..."
The words have not yet fallen.
Then I heard exclamations coming from outside.
"Master Lu Yanshu topped the list in high school and passed three yuan!"
"Lu Yanshu passed three yuan and won the first prize!!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
