Chapter 41 Different
Lu Xuan laughed when he heard this.
He found this step for his second brother, and Miss Feng found this step for himself. He didn't want to see the other party worry about this or that, and he was restrained.
"I will follow the line of Lord Qi from the Hanlin Academy and let you know if there is any progress." Lu Xuan stood up and walked towards the window, remembering the scene he came last time, and added, "Miss Feng doesn't have to send it."
As soon as the window opened, the wind rushed in, causing the gauze curtains to sway.
The thick clouds in the sky covered the stars and moons, and suddenly a flash of lightning broke through the black sky, and the raindrops as big as beans fell down.
The wind and rain were harsh. Lu Xuan held the window frame with one hand and watched the rain get heavier and he stopped a little.
Could it be that I have to stay overnight?
Bai Lu was shocked when he heard the thunder.
This definitely won't work!
"Bai Lu, take an umbrella."
"No need, it will still get wet." Lu Xuan waved his hand and supported the windowsill with one hand and climbed over the window.
Seeing that the black clothes and the night collapsing, Feng Cheng hurriedly shouted: "Lu Xuan——"
The boy who was about to walk into the rain turned around.
Feng Cheng walked quickly to the window.
It was raining outside the window, blowing against the thin boy, doubt appeared in his black eyes.
The sound of "Lu Xuan" made him feel a little uncomfortable.
This discomfort was not a disgust, but a distant distance from others, which made him unexpectedly call out his name from a girl who was not a relative or accustomed to be called out.
Looking at the girl with a comfortable look, Lu Xuan's eyebrows slightly stretched.
Maybe he was fussing. To be honest, "Lu Xuan" is of course better than "Master Lu".
"Is there anything else?" the boy suppressed his strange mood and asked lightly.
Feng Cheng glanced out the window worriedly.
The rain curtain outside was boundless, accompanied by bursts of thunder.
"Young Master Lu should not walk under the tree, and try not to stay at high places for too long..." Faced with the other party's puzzled eyes, Feng Cheng seriously advised him.
The more Lu Xuan heard, the more strange he felt, and he asked casually: "Why?"
"Walking under a tree or high place, you may be struck by lightning."
Lu Xuan twitched his mouth violently.
But the other party's eyes were clear and his expression was solemn, not like a joke.
Miss Feng’s concern is a bit unique…
"Thank you." The boy squeezed out two words and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Bai Lu walked over quickly and hurriedly closed the window.
"Girl, don't stand by the window, be careful of catching a cold."
Feng Cheng turned around and walked towards the bed.
"Girl, will you really be struck by lightning when walking under a tree or high place?" Bai Lu packed up the bowls and dishes on the table, and asked curiously.
“It’s possible.”
After two years, even the emperor was struck by lightning, so what else could it be impossible?
Bai Lu was surprised and sighed in a low voice for a while: "The eldest son Lu came to see the girl at risk of his life..."
The next day, it was sunny, and Feng Cheng knew that the weather was good and his grandfather liked to drink tea in the pavilion, so he went to pay his respects.
"I got two taels of good tea a few days ago and brought it to my grandfather to taste it."
Shangshu Feng was intrigued and took the small tea pot from the girl and opened it. He looked at the shape and smelled, and nodded: "It's good, Cheng'er is interested."
He praised this and felt a little bit of pity for this granddaughter who suffered a great disaster.
Cheng'er has been innocent and straightforward since childhood. Although she was obedient to him in the past, she never specifically respected him.
I began to know how to please people, but I also had to grow up because of setbacks.
"Come on, Cheng'er, have tea with grandfather."
Shangshu Feng poured a cup of tea and handed it to Feng Cheng.
"Thank you grandfather."
"How is your body recovering?"
"Grandfather Lao is worried about it, and his granddaughter feels great."
The grandparents and grandsons talked about family matters, and the topic gradually turned to the subject of the science and technology examination.
"Will my grandfather be the chief examiner of this year's autumn examination?"
"Why would Cheng'er ask this?"
Feng Cheng pursed his lips: "Brother, my second brother is going to end this year, I'm a little worried."
Feng Shangshu laughed: "I didn't expect Cheng'er to worry about her brothers taking the exam."
"Yes, my granddaughter thought if my grandfather was the chief examiner-"
Feng Shangshu's face turned upright: "Grandfather will not serve as the chief examiner."
Facing his granddaughter's confused eyes, the old Shangshu patiently explained: "It is just a provincial examination, and the chief examiner of Shuntian Prefecture has never been appointed by the Minister of Rites."
There is also a co-examination after the provincial examination and the palace examination, which is the real fish jumping over the dragon gate.
"So that's the case. Granddaughter thinks this is a good thing."
“Why?”
"Brother is so good at studying, so there will definitely be no problem with the provincial examination, so that others will not think that the eldest brother has benefited from you."
Feng Shangshu smiled loudly: "Cheng'er thinks so well and has a backbone. However, the imperial examination is a major event for the country, and people dare not criticize it randomly."
Feng Cheng blinked: "Grandfather, if there is any fraud in the scientific research, isn't it very serious?"
Shangshu Feng looked cold: "Of course, not to mention that the candidates have no future from now on, even senior officials who have reached the second rank will be sentenced to death!"
Feng Cheng showed fear on his face.
"Little girl doesn't have to be interested in these things, go and have fun."
"The granddaughter surrendered."
After returning to the late autumn residence, Feng Cheng sat next to the orange tree in the yard, holding his chin to ponder.
Tell my grandfather about my uncle and his plan to the Shangshu Mansion, which would make my mother unable to raise her head in the Shangshu Mansion from now on.
What if the fraud in the imperial examination is exposed?
My cousin was involved and lost his qualification for the scientific examination for life, which was the biggest blow to my uncle's family.
As for the battle between the prince and the King of Wu, she was not able to control it. As Lu Xuan found more, Duke Cheng should remind his grandfather that she would act again when she saw the opportunity.
Feng Cheng made a decision and waited patiently for Lu Xuan to contact him.
On that day, Bai Lu handed over a green belt to Feng Cheng, and soon the two met at Qingxin Teahouse.
"That Lord Qi is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. His wife met Miss Feng's aunt because of her niece's child held a full moon banquet. However, no open contact was found, but one day they both went to Wanfu Temple."
"What Master Lu means is that Mrs. Qi told my aunt and my aunt convinced me again?"
"This is the greatest possibility."
"What are the plans for Master Lu next?"
"I want to wait and see if the person named Qi is called the examiner a few months later, then the people involved will be solved."
Seeing Lu Xuan and himself think of a place, Feng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became confused: "If this happens, my clue will be cut off."
Lu Xuan was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly: "I have had a long talk with my grandfather, and my second brother is probably in danger."
The surname Qi is the clan of Shoufu Han, and he will participate in it because there is a bait that impressed Miss Feng’s uncle’s family. He does not think that the person who abducted the second brother is also the surname Qi.
The Chief Guard of Han is the most powerful supporter of the King of Wu. As long as you know, it is enough to be convenient for the King of Wu to attack the second brother.
Thinking of the first time I met Miss Feng, what reason did the other party have to let his second brother be alive?
After all, Miss Feng is a variable in the other party’s plan, a lucky accident.
Lu Xuan was in a deep mood and looked at Feng Cheng deeply.
Feng Cheng was also shocked by Lu Xuan's words.
Lu Xuan’s idea is different.
