Chapter 37 Surprise for Lv Hong

The grapes are available. Is the wine still far away? In addition to grapes, there are several cheap fruits in season. Lv Xianger, Lv Erniang, Zaoer and Xiaotao, are busy day and night. When Song Yuan saw this scene, he stopped Lv Xianger's class in a humane way, saying that he would make it up after the fruit wine was brewed.

Seeing that the Lv family's wine cellar was full of jars, Lv Hong was finally relieved and could take a break. In addition to going to the school, Lv Hong has not been idle for many days in Qinghe Village and the county. Despite Song Yuan's follower Xiaowu's help, Lv Hong still felt what physical and mental fatigue was. On the night of the last grape shipment, Lv Hong lay down early and slept until dawn without dreaming.

After breakfast, Zaoer and Xiaotao picked up the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to clean up. Lv Xianger sat aside and wrote something in a brochure. Lv Er Niang said to Lv Hong, who was preparing to go to the school, "Brother Hong, everyone is tired these days. Today, when you go to school, invite Mr. Song to come. Auntie, make some delicious food to make everyone easy.

"It's better to be a mother. Unlike some people, they almost forget that they still have a brother." Seeing that Lv Xianger's serious appearance was a little uncomfortable, Lv Hong deliberately raised his voice. This made Lu Erniang look at Lv Xianger very funny and want to see how she reacted.

When Lv Xianger heard Lv Hong's words, she immediately raised her head, threw away the pen in her hand and ran to Lv Hong's side. She smiled and said, "Brother, how can Xianger forget her brother's fatigue these days? When all the grapes in the yard are put in the jar, Xiang'er will go to buy vegetables in person, and then cook two of her favorite dishes for her brother. How about that?

"It's almost the same." Lv Hong patted Lv Xianger on the head and walked out of the house briskly. In the past few days, except for the fruit wine, Lv Xianger sat in the room recording every numbered jar, and hardly talked to Lv Hong. This makes Lv Hong, who is used to Lv Xianger's dependence on him, feel a little sad and uncomfortable.

Lv Hong understands that Lv Xianger will also grow up and will not always rely on him. But looking at the sister he took good care of and turned a blind eye to him, Lv Hong really couldn't stand it. Thinking that Lv Xianger will get married in the future and rely on an unknown Langjun, Lv Hong, who came out of the Lv family's yard, was a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of Lv Xianger's marriage, I thought of the man who could marry Lv Xianger. Lv Hong couldn't stop thinking. When he came to the school, Lv Hong had already thought that before Lv Xianger was ready to get married, he must take a good look for her. Otherwise, let the man know his experience of Lv Hong, and don't think about bullying his sister after getting married.

However, listening to the noise from the school, Lv Hong was very strange. Usually, at this time, students should read silently and wait for their teacher's exam. Today's school is so lively and different.

While thinking about it, a teenager who usually talks with Lv Hong saw Lv Hong running out from the window and smiled at him, "Lv Hong, you're here. There are two good news today."

"What good news?" Lv Hong looked at the joy on the faces of the students in the school and asked the teenager beside him. The teenager seemed to have been waiting for Lv Hong to ask questions for a long time. As soon as he heard Lv Hong's voice, he was very excited to say two happy things to him.

The first thing is that after more than three years, the rebellious army in the court finally eradicated all the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River and returned to Beijing in a few days. The second thing is that Luming College, the largest college in Jiangling Prefecture, is going to recruit students.

Although these two things are somewhat related, for ordinary people like Lv Hong, it is more important for Lu Ming College to recruit students. Therefore, the students of this small county school in Qingshi County are mainly concerned about this.

Even when the gentleman, who has always been rigorous, walked into the school, he did not scold the students who had forgotten the rules with a cold face as usual, but showed a rare smile. This made all the students, including Lu Hong, couldn't help getting goose bumps and quickly became honest. The gentleman was obviously very satisfied with the self-discipline of his students. First, he said a few words and reprimands before talking in detail about the recruitment of students by Luming College.

It is said that although the rebel army has won the final victory, it has been too long, and the losses in all aspects are not small. Today's emperor is also a little far-sighted, believing that if this Zhou Dynasty wants to be strong, talent is the most important. Therefore, after receiving the victory of the rebellion, His Majesty the Emperor ordered the colleges of the Zhou Dynasty to recruit talented students and cultivate talents for the court.

"Luming Academy is the largest college in Jiangling Mansion and one of the four major colleges in the Zhou Dynasty. Although there are many rules of the college, it is a place for you to learn more knowledge. Therefore, in the next few days, you should study hard, pass the exam as much as possible, and become a student of Luming College..."

The rigorous Mr. Xuetang explained everything about Luming Academy very carefully, and Lv Hong listened very carefully. Lu Ming College's open enrollment of students has increased Lv Hong's confidence in his future. Since following Uncle Zhao to practice martial arts, Lv Hong's desire to join the army has become more and more popular. At that time, Lv Hong was young and there was still a war in Jiangnan. He knew very well that Lv Erniang would not agree. So Lv Hong thought that after the martial arts in the court, he could also go to the military camp.

However, the Zhou Dynasty also valued literature over martial arts, once every three years, but once every five years. Lv Hong was waiting for the arrival of martial arts with an unhurried mentality. But now a will of His Majesty the Emperor made Lv Hong immediately raise his spirit. The whole Zhou Dynasty understood the meaning of His Majesty the emperor, and these literary and martial arts examinees turned their eyes to the upcoming literary and martial arts. Where there is competition, there is pressure, and Lv Hong is under a lot of pressure now.

When he got off school in the afternoon, Mr. Xuetang seemed to see that Lv Hong had a sense of urgency, but he was gratified and left Lv Hong at the same time. Speaking of which, Qingshi County is not big or small, and there is only such a school. Some families nearby will send their children here. Among the students here, my husband has a good impression of Lv Hong, and I also hope that he can be admitted to Luming Academy.

"Lv Hong, this Luming Academy looks very big, very strict, and has many rules. In fact, only if you have that talent, you will not be turned away. So, don't be too nervous. Relax, maybe you will achieve your wish.

Mr. Lv Hong patted Lv Hong on the shoulder with a smile on his face, which made him a little flattered. He quickly said, "My husband's repentance, the students remember it. Even if students can't get into the college, they won't give up on themselves.

"That's good, that's good. Go back. If there is anything you don't understand in the book, you can come and ask me. The gentleman waved his hand and turned around and left by himself. Lv Hong got Mr.'s words, but his mood slowly calmed down and strolled home as usual.

After arriving home, after talking about these two things with Lv Erniang and Lv Xianger, their reaction made Lv Hong a little speechless. Lv Erniang didn't care about the war in the south of the Yangtze River. She just heard that Luming Academy was recruiting students, so she said, "Oh, this Luming Academy is in Jiangling Mansion, and it's not very close to Qingshi County. It's really inconvenient to go back and forth. I have to make more clothes for you, so as not to wear enough.

"Mother, I may not be admitted to Luming College. Don't be busy yet." Seeing that Lv Erniang got up and was going to sew new clothes, Lv Hong quickly stopped her.

Looking back to Lv Xianger, the little woman looked calculating and said silently: "When the war is over, the price of grain can be reduced and distilled wine can be made."

Lv Hong looked at the mother and daughter and got up helplessly and said, "I'm still going to school. A Niang, Xiang'er, you continue to brew fruit bars."

After Lv Hong left, Lv Xianger ran to Lv Er Niang's side and said with a smile, "Niang, how are I doing?" My brother didn't even see it and left angrily.

"It's not your idea. I'm afraid that your brother will stay at home for a long time and know that today is his birthday, right?" Lv Erniang nodded on Lv Xianger's forehead. Although she didn't agree with Lv Xianger's idea of giving Lv Hong a surprise, she still followed Lv Xianger's idea. Perhaps in Lv Erniang's heart, she also wants to give Lv Hong a different birthday to make up for the regret of not being able to give him a complete family.

Zao'er watched Lv Hong go far away and ran to the room to report to Lv Xianger. Lv Xianger immediately got up, changed her clothes, and went to the market with Zao'er. Lv Erniang and Xiaotao took an hour to fill the remaining grapes into the jar, and finally filled the wine cellar. The two had just come out of the wine cellar, and Lv Xianger and Zaoer also returned to buy vegetables at this time.

When Lv Hong came back from the school, he found that his home was quiet and strange. At this time, the sun had set, but the oil lamp was not on in the Lv's yard as usual. Lv Hong's heart immediately thumped and walked into the main room quickly. He also shouted loudly, "Mother, Xiang'er, you..."

Seeing a table of rich dishes, Lv Hong was suddenly stunned. Before he could react, Lv Xianger jumped out of the room inside, ran to Lv Hong with a purse and said with a smile, "Brother, happy birthday. This is my novice embroidered purse for you."

"Today is my birthday." Lv Hongmu took the exquisite purse and slowly remembered that today was his thirteenth birthday. Thinking back to what happened in the morning and noon, Lv Hong immediately realized that he looked at Lv Xianger and said happily, "I said it's weird today. It must be your idea, right?"

Lv Xianger smiled, did not deny it, and asked, "Are you happy, brother?"

"Happy. This is my brother's best birthday. Let's go for dinner." Lv Hong took Lv Erniang in one hand and Lv Xianger in the other, and strode to the dining table.
