Chapter 161 Father and Son


    Meng Qianqian always felt that it was indescribable to say anything after hearing her cousin.


    Will Lu Yuan read Xun Yu’s articles?


    Lu Yuan couldn''t put down the book, and read all the books. He even despised the old lady''s book while despising it.


    Everyone calls him a fool without any worries, but is this really the case?


    "Cousin, who copied this? His handwriting is more elegant than Xun Zhuangyuan''s."


    Yu Li admired the article in her hand, and the admiration on her face became more and more obvious.


    "I don''t know, I''ve been in the study. Maybe it was copied by a Hanlin official."


    Meng Qianqian still decided not to tell her cousin that it was Lu Yuan''s handwriting after she was drunk.


    Yu Li held the article and admired it almost forgot his own way. In the past, he appreciated the meaning of the article, but was completely attracted by calligraphy tonight. Moreover, it seems that after matching this set of calligraphy, the connotation of the article has been greatly improved.


    Not only has the character of a literati, but also has the ambition to help the world and the people.


    Yu Li was so heartbroken that Meng Qianqian called him several times but didn''t hear him.


    Meng Qianqian shook her head: "Cousin, look first, I''ll go to rest."


    Yu Li read in the study for a whole night, and it was not until dawn that he reluctantly placed the article neatly on the table, rubbed his eyes that were red, and looked at the morning light that was about to bloom. All the mysteries suddenly became clear in an instant.


    "Cousin! I understand, cousin!"


    Yu Li was like a young child and suddenly rushed towards Meng Qianqian''s house.


    Madam Li came out with a basin of water, hit him all over, and exclaimed, "Young Master Cousin!"


    “It’s okay!”


    Yu Li said quickly, realizing that she was abrupt, she hurriedly turned her back, "Cousin, I''m sorry!"


    "Cousin, I''m here."


    In the yard, Meng Qianqian, who had just finished practicing swordsmanship, wiped her sweat and smiled slightly at Yu Li.


    Yu Li looked at her heroic cousin in the morning light, as if she had seen a beam of light illuminating the lost road, just like the article he had read for a night.


    “Cousin.”


    He walked down the stairs and grabbed Meng Qianqian''s wrist, "I want to take the scientific test!"


    A hint of surprise flashed in Meng Qianqian''s eyes.


    The Yu family is a scholarly family. Children in the family, regardless of gender, will join the clan to study. Among them, Yu Li is the best in this generation.


    The Yu family asked Yu Li to take the imperial examination several times, but Yu Li only took a child exam and never went again.


    "It''s boring. I just like to study and don''t want to do anything else."


    This is Yu Li''s original words.


    Even if you enter the Imperial College, it is just for the purpose of studying.


    Unexpectedly, after reading the article Lu Yuan wrote after he was drunk, my cousin was actually inspired to take the scientific exam.


    Meng Qianqian smiled: "Okay."


    Yu Li and Meng Qianqian went to Tinglanyuan to have breakfast with the old lady and Baoshu, and then Yu Li returned to the Imperial College.


    Yu Li''s household registration is in Youzhou. I don''t know if he can take the county examination in the capital. Meng Qianqian decided to ask Lu Yuan later.


    Speaking of Lu Yuan, this guy has not returned all night and doesn’t know what he has been busy with.


    "fish."


    Baoshu walked over staggeringly and took Meng Qianqian''s hand and walked out.


    There is a small fish pond in Fengshui Hutong, where chubby koi are raised. Baoshu will lie on the side and play for a long time every time she goes.


    Meng Qianqian thought Baoshu wanted to go to Fengshui Hutong to see the fish, but she pointed to the direction of the back mountain, "Fish."


    There are fish there?


    Meng Qianqian led Baoshu toward the back mountain.


    Walking through a deep cobblestone path, a small farm garden came into view.


    On the left side of the small garden is the vegetable field and on the right side is the fish pond. There is a small waterwheel on the side, which introduces the water from the fish pond into the vegetable field for irrigation.


    And the water from the fish pond is actually the living water flowing in from the ditches.


    Meng Qianqian has never planted the land, but she can still understand the principle of water diversion. She couldn''t help but think of Xun Yu''s canal and water diversion project in the Western Regions.


    Are so many coincidences really coincidences?


    Baoshu went to play with the water truck, but was snarled by the water truck. She screamed in anger and quarreled with the water truck for a whole morning.


    In the end, Meng Qianqian disconnected the water and the water truck stopped turning.


    Baoshu thought she had finally won the quarrel, so she swung her little head and left proudly!


    During lunch, Lu Yuan had not returned home.


    The old lady didn''t feel good about her meal: "Where is the great-grandson-in-law?"


    Meng Qianqian whispered: "He is busy with official duties and comes back after finishing his work."


    The old lady looked at the osmanthus cake on the table, drooling in her greed, but she still held it tightly. She kept it for her great-grandson-in-law.


    Meng Qianqian was also very confused. Why did Lu Yuan go out for so long?


    When it was dinner, Lu Yuan was still not on the table, and the old lady couldn''t sit still: "I''m going to find my great-grandson-in-law! I don''t care about me, I''m going!"


    "Okay, okay, go with you!"


    Tan''er accompanied the old lady out of the mansion, just around the corner, and wouldn''t really take her away.


    At this moment, Qingshuang was not there, Shangguan Ling was not there, Yu Zichuan was not there, Meng Qianqian thought about it and could only call Manager Cen over.


    "Madam, call me."


    Manager Cen gave a tribute.


    Meng Qianqian said, "Manager Cen, where has the Grand Governor been?"


    "this…"


    Manager Cen showed hesitation.


    Meng Qianqian looked at him steadily: "What is inconvenient to say..."


    Manager Cen hurriedly said, "It''s not that it''s inconvenient, but that''s the young man, I don''t know where the Grand Governor has gone."


    Meng Qianqian said again: "Can he go to court today?"


    Manager Cen said, "Your Majesty has been on duty for two days."


    The Imperial College is understandable for holidays, but it is incredible to take a break in the court. It is a big deal for the prime minister to return to the court. Shouldn’t this good news be announced to all civil and military officials as soon as possible?


    When Lu Yuan won a battle from the border, Lu Yuan did not go to court himself, but the emperor never stopped courting.


    Meng Qianqian vaguely felt that there would be big trends in the court.


    "Manager Cen, can I take the liberty to ask, are the Grand Governor and the Prime Minister on the same boat?"


    Manager Cen pondered for a moment, but did not answer Meng Qianqian''s question immediately, but asked Meng Qianqian: "Madam, the Grand Governor hasn''t mentioned his past affairs to you, right?"


    Meng Qianqian shook her head: "I only know that his mother is Miaojiang''s wife. He has Miaojiang''s blood shed, and I don''t know anything about the rest."


    Manager Cen said: "The Grand Governor was bleeding from Miaojiang, but the Grand Governor grew up in the Central Plains. The Prime Minister was his adopted father."


    Meng Qianqian was stunned.


    She had made great calculations and did not figure out that the two of them had such a relationship. No wonder Lu Yuan would go outside the city to greet the prime minister in person.


    Manager Cen continued: "The Grand Governor was separated from his wife when he was young, and the Prime Minister took him in. At first, the Grand Governor was just an ordinary horse boy in the Xun family. Later, the Prime Minister found out that the child was literate, smart and clever, so he asked him to be a scholar for his son. If he grew up, the Grand Governor became the adopted son of the Prime Minister. Not many people knew about this. Is this the answer to the wife''s question?"


    Being an adopted son must have the conditions, right?


    What are the conditions?


    Meng Qianqian''s eyes fell on the article after article that Lu Yuan made when he was drunk. Is it it?


    "I understand, Manager Cen."


    Manager Cen smiled and said, "Mrs. It is a blessing for the Grand Governor to marry his wife."


    Meng Qianqian shook her head: "It''s too early to say these words now, and I don''t know if what I brought to your master is good or bad."


    Manager Cen doesn’t seem to care about good and bad luck. He said, “Madam, no matter what happens next, please believe in the Grand Governor. He is a smart person and he will never do something unsure.”


    Meng Qianqian looked at him deeply: "What is he going to do?"


    Manager Cen was hesitant again: "This..."


    Meng Qianqian said seriously, "Take me to see him. If you don''t take me there, I will move out of the Governor''s Office."


    The time is coming! Come on for the couple!
