After returning home, Lu Xuande sat down on the stool.

Look dazed.

Full of confidence and satisfaction.

As a result, as soon as he got home, he was hit on the head.

It also knocked him unconscious.

Lu Xuande couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Why can Li Jinglan always anticipate his moves?

Mrs. Lu Zhang came out from the inner room, looking anxious: "Son, what did you take out the 100 taels of silver for?"

Lu Xuande took a deep breath and said, "Let's not talk about these for now! Mother, tell me the truth about how Li treated you. Don't exaggerate, just tell the truth."

Mrs. Lu Zhang recounted everything that happened to Li Jinglan after her marriage from beginning to end.

Finally, he added: "She was very docile on the day of the wedding, but suddenly got angry the next morning. She took the opportunity of visiting the grave to take Lu Bozhou out of the hospital. I was not prepared at all."

Mrs. Lu Zhang was really not on guard at all.

Li Jinglan had just beaten Wan Er's family with a club in the main courtyard, and she was very satisfied and thought that Li Jinglan would fight with her in the inner courtyard.

result.

Li Jinglan didn't work hard in the inner house at all.

Just use external force to drive her away.

Listening to his mother's words, Lu Xuande frowned.

Everything Li Jinglan did seemed to be planned in advance.

Lu Xuande had a feeling that Li Jinglan knew the Lu family very well.

Could it be that Lu Bozhou and Li Jinglan had met and communicated before getting married?

Otherwise, how could Li Jinglan know the Lu family so well?

The next day, visiting his parents was indeed Lu Bozhou's only chance to go out.

He hated Li Jinglan and Lu Bozhou.

Lu Bozhou has been too obedient in the past four years.

He relaxed.

In addition, there was a big business in the capital that needed his attention, so he did not go home to preside over the wedding.

Should have known so.

He would rather give up the deal than let Lu Bozhou die at home.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuande cursed angrily.

"If I had known she was like this, I shouldn't have kept my engagement with the Li family and should have married someone else for Bozhou."

After Lu Bozhou's parents passed away, he observed mourning for four years. At the age of seventeen, he had to get married.

Only then did he agree to Lu Bozhou's marriage, and instructed Lu Zhangshi to keep an eye on the new bride and not allow her to have too much contact with Lu Bozhou.

Anyway, Lu Bozhou's role is to keep him alive until his son passes the examination and becomes a student, then he doesn't need to live anymore.

Who would have thought.

Marry Li Jinglan.

Mrs. Lu Zhang glanced in the direction of the Lu family compound, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes: "Son, when can I go back to live?"

In the Lu family compound, she was the old feudal lord, with a horde of servants.

When I returned to my home, Mrs. Zhang was the only one there.

The yard at home is too small.

The most important thing now is not the house, but to find a way to get rid of Li Jinglan. Lu Xuande told his mother: "Don't contact Li during this period, so as not to be harmed by her."

"But Zhang Cheng is still in jail." Mrs. Lu Zhang shouted, "Zhang Cheng is your nephew."

"I don't care about anything else, you have to find Zhang Cheng." When Mrs. Lu Zhang mentioned Zhang Cheng, she stomped her feet in anger.

Lu Zhang wanted to stamp her feet, and Lu Xuande wanted to stamp his feet even more.

He worked hard for several years before he took control of Xishui Village.

He had money and connections, but he couldn't even make friends with the yamen runners.

Even when offered money, the yamen runners refused to accept it.

Why can Li Jinglan summon yamen runners at will?

Why would the bailiff listen to her so much?

The only possibility is Teacher Wang.

and so.

His son must take the imperial examination.

Only in this way.

Only his family can be the superior ones.

"I will go find Cunren right away and ask him to take the gifts to Teacher Wang's house to apologize to Lu Bozhou and say that he had no knowledge of the matter! He is even willing to sever ties with me as his father."

Lu Xuande stood up.

When Mrs. Lu Zhang heard about her grandson, she immediately forgot about Zhang Cheng: "We must protect Cunren, he is the root of our family!"

"When Cunren was seven years old, a high monk passed by our house and said that there was a purple aura in the Lu family compound that could rule the world. As long as our Cunren could pass the examination and become a student, we could get half of this purple aura."

Lu Xuande glanced at Lu Zhangshi and said, "Keep this in your heart and don't talk nonsense."

"In next year's county examination, Cunren will definitely pass the exam!" Mrs. Lu Zhang was full of confidence.

While Mrs. Lu Zhang was talking to Lu Xuande, Lu Bozhou was hosting a banquet for all of today's classmates at Deyue Tower, the best restaurant in the county.

"Thank you all my classmates today." Lu Bozhou stood up and bowed to all directions.

The students returned the greetings one after another: "Brother Lu is too polite. We have been classmates in the community school and county school for several years. Why are you being so polite?"

Lu Bozhou's face was full of smiles. "I can't see clearly, so I won't toast to you. Please drink a few more cups."

A scholar put down his chopsticks and asked with concern: "Brother Lu, with your eyes, can you still take part in the provincial examination?"

"I can't even see clearly now, but Doctor Hu said that as long as I treat it patiently, my eyes will slowly recover."

The scholar was relieved. "You are well-educated and write well. It would be a pity if you can't take the imperial examination."

Lu Bozhou smiled and said, "No, no, compared to Brother Yuan, I am still a little worse."

Lu Bozhou couldn't see clearly, so when he was eating, Lu Zhongyu and Ningxin helped him serve the food.

Put all the dishes in a small bowl and Lu Bozhou ate it.

When the scholars saw this, they all sighed.

After the meal, Lu Bozhou asked Deyuelou to rent ox carts and horse carriages to send the drunk scholars home.

By the time they returned to Wang's house, it was already dark.

After washing.

陆仲玉向陆伯舟报账:“得月楼的酒菜加上今天来回租车一共8两4钱。余钱剩11两另4贯3吊。”

They rented several horse-drawn carriages and went to Xishui Village, then invited dozens of classmates to dinner and drinks, and then rented cars to send the classmates home.

There were more than thirty classmates and four tables of food and wine.

A table of food and wine weighs two taels, which is a middle to upper-class meal.

"You keep the rest first." Lu Bozhou couldn't see clearly because his younger brother was the one keeping track of the accounts.

Lawrence Lu hummed and noted the amount on the bill.

Ningxin felt distressed.

"The restaurants outside are too expensive. If we go back to the Lu family compound and prepare a few tables of food and wine ourselves, I'm afraid we won't even be able to spend five taels."

"You don't understand." Lu Bozhou understood.

He can't go home now.

Once he goes back, he will be caught by Lu Xuan De and lose his freedom again.

It is safe to take shelter in Teacher Wang's house.

It’s a pity for Li Jinglan.

Xishui Village is not a peaceful place.

Ningxin knew Lu Bozhou very well, so when she saw him like this, she changed the subject.

"Now we only have 11 taels left, so we have to be careful with our money in the future," Ning Xin said.

Lu Bozhou spent ten taels of silver to redeem her.

If these eleven taels are used to pay off the debt, only one tael will be left.

I really need to be more careful with my spending in the future.

"You don't have to worry about the money." Lu Bozhou said.

Ning Xin raised her eyebrows and said nothing more.

After helping Lu Bozhou to sleep, Ningxin left.

Lu Zhongyu sat in the yard, looking up at the moon in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Erlang, has Dalang's eyes been checked by a doctor?" Ningxin asked.

Lu Zhongyu hummed, still looking up at the night sky.

"From what Dalang said, it seems that he went to see Doctor Xiao Hu. Did you go to see another doctor? For example, a real doctor or something."

Ningxin talked for a while and then turned back to the topic of money.

"Instead of using the money to treat outsiders to a meal, it is better to use the money to treat illnesses. Medical treatment and medicine are very expensive."

It was only then that Lu Zhongyu turned around and looked at Ning Xin, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

"I see."

"Don't just say you know it. Dalang's health is of utmost importance. How can he take the imperial examination if he can't see clearly?" Ningxin looked at Lu Zhongyu very seriously.

There are only a few of us left in the family now.

She has to hold up the backbone.

Lu Zhongyu was only seven years old and knew nothing.

She must teach me something.

Lu Zhongyu didn't say anything and continued to look up at the night sky.

Yesterday, when the messenger boy came to Wang's house to deliver silver, he asked about the situation at the boy's home.

The butler said that Li Jinglan and Lu Guanyu were both nice.

Li Jinglan also handed over the kitchen to Lu Guanyu.

The servant refused to say anything else.

Lu Zhongyu has been with Lu Bozhou since he was three years old.

After Lu Bozhou lost his sight, he took on the responsibility of taking care of him.

He had to please the Lu family in order to get a meal.

You also have to be very careful not to anger the Lu family.

Because if he angered the Lu family, not only would he and his elder brother go hungry, but his younger sister in the inner house would also have no food to eat.

He learned to read people's expressions early on.

More sensitive than most people.

Before delivering the silver to the eldest brother, the male servant went to the main courtyard to talk to Aunt Liu, and the conversation lasted for nearly half an hour.

Nowadays.

The eldest brother went back to the Lu family.

Those scholars gathered around the eldest brother again as before, calling him Brother Lu or Brother Lu short.

all of these.

It should have been done by my sister-in-law.

Lu Zhongyu looked at the colorful clouds in the sky chasing the moon.

This month is like Li Jinglan.

Carrying the stars through the clouds, running towards the rising sun.

after.

There will be good days at home, right?

Lawrence Lu couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, lifted his feet off the ground, and kicked gently a few times.
