In terms of prestige in the capital, the Duke of Chu's Mansion is far better than the Lu family.
The Lu family could stand up because Lu Zhan was the only one who was outstanding, so the Chu family was different. The emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent, and Emperor Gaozu raised an army to establish the Great Qi Dynasty. At that time, the ancestors of the Chu family followed Emperor Gaozu to fight south and north, and had great military achievements, so they were granted the title of duke and were hereditary.
Nearly two hundred years after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the Chu family produced a queen, and the queen's son also ascended the throne successfully. Although several generations have passed, the Chu family's blood is basically flowing in the royal family. The descendants of the Chu family are loyal and loyal to the country from generation to generation, and have never been involved in the disputes between princes and gangs. Emperors of all dynasties have trusted and valued them.
Therefore, the style of the Duke of Chu State's Mansion is not comparable to that of ordinary nobles.
However, when Lu Mingyu came to the Duke of Chu's mansion, it was like returning to another home, and he was familiar with it everywhere.
When he stepped into the main gate, a nanny was already carrying a sedan chair and waiting. Lu Rong wanted to follow Chu Xing's brothers to pay homage to the old man. Xiao took his daughter and Chu Ying's sisters into the sedan chair and went directly to the backyard to meet the wife of the Grandma.
"A Nuan must be obedient." Before parting, Lu Rong smiled and told his daughter.
"Yes." Lu Mingyu blushed slightly, always feeling that his father's instructions had other meanings mixed in.
"Let's go." Xiao thoughtfully rescued his daughter.
The nannies raised the sedan chair, Lu Mingyu held the veil in both hands, and as the nannies took the third step forward, they quietly glanced at Chu Sui. Chu Sui and his cousin watched the female family. When he noticed Lu Mingyu's peeping, he immediately looked over and looked at him. Lu Mingyu was both ashamed and nervous, and hurriedly avoided him. Unfortunately, this action fell into Chu Sui's eyes, and turned into a little girl glaring at him. She ran away in panic when she was caught.
Chu Sui shook his head funny, this child is really revenge.
"I remember Shi Qian is going to participate in the hospital examination this year?" His eyes were still on the little girl who left in anger. Sui suddenly heard Lu Rong's question in his ears. Chu Sui withdrew his gaze and responded calmly: "I have plans. My grandfather said that I am not young anymore. I will participate first. It is best to be on the list. Otherwise, I will be a training and continue to work hard next time."
The 14-year-old young man was wearing a sky blue round neck robe and a jade pendant with a graceful demeanor. Although Lu Rong could not see anyone, he could imagine the young man's outstanding style just by listening to Chu Sui Luoluo's generous answer. He nodded, and walked forward with a blind stick, while applauding: "I often hear people praise your brothers for being both literary and military. Shi Jin has the style of a general. I believe Shi Qian will shine in the imperial examination. Unfortunately, I am blind and the road to the imperial examination will be stopped in the college entrance examination. Otherwise, I can also give you some advice based on my age."
Chu Sui was slightly stunned. All the literati in the capital knew Lu Rong. Not to mention that Lu Rong was the first to take the high school entrance examination at the age of 11, he became the youngest scholar after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty. Just say that Lu Rong wrote a good handwriting after the blindness, which has both the elegant charm of the deep valley orchid, and the unrestrained style of the wind, which is worthy of praise from the world. The emperor once regretted it and called it a jealousy of the talented people.
If Lu Rong was not blind, Chu Sui would humbly ask Lu Rong for advice when he mentioned the examination, but Lu Rong was blind and worried that he would unintentionally touch on the past that Lu Rong did not want to recall, so he was cautious in his words and actions. But now Lu Rong said this, he had to express his attitude towards the examination that Lu Rong participated in before he was blind.
I was too deliberate in the past, but I followed the trend and was afraid that I would make Lu Rong unhappy if I accidentally said something wrong.
This was a difficult problem, Chu Sui subconsciously looked at his cousin.
Chu Xing...I can't help.
He is a martial artist, and he is sure of making decisions on the battlefield if he is a power struggle in the officialdom, but Lu Rong's situation is too special. I heard that Lu Rong rarely goes out because of his eyes. It shows that he cares about his eyes very much. The more he does this, the more he talks to him, the more cautious he needs to talk to him. Just like now, he has to cross a threshold before, and Chu Xing really wants to remind Lu Rong, but he can't say it.
My cousin couldn't help, and Chu Sui didn't have time to think more, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "The Third Master is too humble, and his knowledge is endless. Shi Qian is young, and he has many shortcomings in his studies and life. If he can get the third Master's teachings, Shi Qian will definitely benefit a lot." He cleverly avoided the hospital examination and broadened the things that could be asked for from Lu Rong.
Lu Rong nodded and said nothing.
He did have the intention to test Chu Sui, and the 14-year-old boy gave him a satisfactory answer.
But he was just a little satisfied. He wanted to marry his pearl in his hand. Chu Sui had to take longer than the top scorer in the exam.

"Madam, A Nuan is here to greet you. This is a sachet I embroidered myself. Do you think it's okay?"
At the back house of the Duke's Mansion, Lu Mingyu smiled and delivered the gift she prepared to the grandma, and introduced it to the elders in a very good manner, "Madam, I can only embroider longevity peaches now. The embroidery is not good-looking, so you definitely can't wear it. But if you like it, you can hang it in the closet, so that every time you see it, you will think of A Nuan."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the lady with big eyes. The lady was almost fifty years old, and the silver thread on her head was clearly visible. However, the old man was in good spirits. His eyes were not yellow and turbid because of his age. He was still bright and vigorous. He smiled very charitable. Once he was angry, he did not need to frown, and his eyes were enough to convey her dissatisfaction.
Lu Mingyu felt that she was very lucky. Her sisters would encounter some trouble when they got married, either from her aunt or from her sister-in-law. Only she had a smooth sailing after marriage. The grandmother and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Chu Er, both liked her very much, especially the grandmother, who treated her as her granddaughter. Therefore, Lu Mingyu used twelve points of sincerity when embroidering this sachet.
"A Nuan is only seven years old and is such a coincidence?" The lady held the sachet given by the little girl and looked over and over again, her words full of surprise. "I like it. I hide this in the closet first. When A Nuan grows up, I will embroider one for me. Then I will wear it out to show off and ask others to see A Nuan's skillful hands."
Lu Mingyu was a little shy. She had deliberately embroidered her ugly things, but after all, she had lived once, and Nu Hong could not be as clumsy as a real beginner's child.
After appreciating the sachets, the lady gave them to her daughter-in-law for appreciation. She smiled and looked at the little girl in front of her. After living for so many years, she could long be able to guess their future beauty and ugliness based on the appearance of the children. Lu Mingyu, her peach blossom eyes are as delicate and tender as her mother, and she is as delicate and tender as a woman in Jiangnan, and she looks so beautiful. This is her appearance. Lu Mingyu has a family background that is outstanding than girls of the same age. Her grandfather is the Minister of War, uncle, and uncle, and her uncle are young and promising. She has the grandfather as her grandfather and the emperor is a cousin. With such good conditions, she will definitely become the daughter-in-law candidate for the wife and wife when she grows up.
Just age...
Lu Mingyu is only seven years old, and it is definitely not enough to match the 19-year-old eldest grandson. The next grandson is fourteen. When Lu Mingyu is in his seventies and eighth year, he will get married in his early twenties... It is not too late. He just happened to specialize in the imperial examination first and become a Jinshi as soon as possible. When he marrys Lu Mingyu, he will immediately climb to the Lu family and Zhuang Wang Mansion, which will help her marry the eldest granddaughter of the eldest prince.
Thinking of this, the grandmother became more and more good to Lu Mingyu. The daughter's family started to talk about marriage only in the thirteenth, fourteenth and five years, but there are only so many girls in the capital. Those who want to marry their daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law have to stay away from each other. In this way, they have to establish a good relationship in advance, and it is easier to propose marriage in the future. With the Chu family's status in the capital, of course, they have to choose from thousands of choices. If Lu Mingyu grows crooked, they can change people at any time.
The old man's heart was twists and turns, let alone Lu Mingyu didn't know, even Xiao could not see it at all. His daughter was only seven years old. Who would have expected that someone had already started to think about her daughter's marriage?
The backyard was filled with laughter. In the front yard, Lu Rong chatted with the old man for a few words, and suddenly said to Chu Xing: "Shijin, I have a reluctant request this time. I heard that the emperor gave you the Zhanlu sword. I wonder if I can taste it myself?"
Many people knew about this. Chu Xing was not surprised by Lu Rong's request and said generously: "San Master, wait a moment, I will order someone to get the sword."
Lu Rong shook his head and stood up with a smile, "It is said that the swords have spiritual energy, and the Zhanlu sword is famous. If you have the honor to pay homage to it, it is already a great luck. How can you treat it as an ordinary sword and lazy? If Shi Jin doesn't dislike it, I'd better go to your side to see it."
Chu Xing's heart moved slightly, looked at Lu Rong with an inquiry, stood up and saluted the old man, and then led Lu Rong to his Dingfeng Hall.
He had a special sword hiding room. When he came to the door, Chu Xingming was guarding his confidant outside, and he accompanied Lu Rong in alone.
"The sword blade is sharp, please be careful." Chu Xing advised tactfully.
Lu Rong nodded and took the sword. His white fingers solemnly touched the scabbard pattern and touched it in full. Lu Rong did not pull out the sword body and returned it to Chu Xing with both hands. "Lu is half a literati. He can only rely on his eyes to appreciate the sword. Today, his eyes are blind and it is useless to draw the sword. When he recovers his vision in the next year, he will come to your mansion to disturb him again."
Chu Xing was shocked and looked at Lu Rong's eyes and said, "Third Master, has the third master found a good doctor?"
After saying that, he realized that his mood was already in chaos. He had seen many famous doctors over the years, but they had no choice. The things that could be seen in the left eye were blurred year by year. Chu Xing was afraid that it would not be cured, so his left eye would be completely blind. Lu Rong's eye disease was even worse than him, and maybe the good doctor Lu Rong met could cure him.
Lu Rong was waiting for this sentence and whispered: "That's right, the miracle doctor I met was named Ge. He had a strange temper. It was a coincidence that he was willing to treat me. He repeatedly asked me not to spread it. That day, Shi Jin saved A Nuan, and the miracle doctor happened to be in Anguo Temple. Just by meeting him, he concluded that Shi Jin had a disease in his left eye..."
Chu Xing clenched his hand tightly. Is there such a miracle doctor in this world?
"Shi Jin doesn't speak, is he accusation?" Lu Rongyun asked calmly.
A hesitation flashed across Chu Xing's face. The only people who knew that he had eye disease were grandfather, second uncle, and cousin. Once the news broke, he would lead troops again in the future and would be difficult to convince the public. However, facing Lu Rong who had been blind for many years, seeing Lu Rong's confidence in the revival, Chu Xing thought to give it a try again.
"I'm not hiding it from the third master, I do have a disease in my left eye, but I have been looking for a doctor for many years, but I have never had any medicine to cure it." I was determined to be sure, and Chu Xing no longer beat around the bush and bowed to Lu Rong, "San Master, are there any conditions for Doctor Ge to treat someone? As long as he is willing to treat me, I am willing to do my best to repay his kindness."
Lu Rong smiled, "Shi Jin is so serious. If you save A Nuan, you are my benefactor. When I learned that you may have eye disease, I have tried to persuade Dr. Ge to promise to treat you. However, Dr. Ge is short and ugly, and he doesn't like to see guests the most. If he treats anyone, he will ask the patient to always close his eyes. Can Shi Jin do this?"
Chu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said firmly: "Don't worry, Master Third, you shouldn't see anything. Shi Jin will never peek at it."
