Chapter 54 A Big Meal
In the teahouse, Lv Xianger sat opposite Chaoxia and looked out of the window quietly. On the table, in the teacup in front of the two, the tea has already been cold. Lv Xianger and Chaoxia didn't want to say a word, and they were thinking about their own thoughts. Even Lv Hong, Song Yuan and Huo Qingsong came from a distance, and neither of them saw it. It was not until the conversation between Song Yuan and Lv Hong came from downstairs that Lv Xianger and Chaoxia turned their heads and came to their senses.
After Xiaowu pushed open the door and let Lv Hong and the other two come in, Lv Xianger and Chaoxia did not mention what had just happened tacitly. In order not to let Lv Hong feel his sad mood, a smile immediately appeared on Lv Xianger's face and greeted him.
Song Yuan and the three of them went upstairs leisurely. Seeing Lv Xianger and Chaoxia at the door of the room, the three of them walked much faster. Song Yuan walked in front of him with a smile on his face, and so did Lv Hong behind him. Even Huo Qingsong's expression was very relaxed. Seeing the expressions of the three people, Lu Xianger's heart was also stable.
"Xiang'er, congratulations on entering Luming Academy." As soon as the door closed, Lv Xianger pulled Lv Hong to congratulate him.
When Song Yuan saw Lv Xianger's blessing, he also had a funny idea in his heart. Thinking about it, he swd his face and said seriously, "Xiang'er, we haven't said it's good news or bad news. How do you know that Hong Geer passed the exam?"
"Sir, Xiang'er has grown up, not a three-year-old child. How can you come back so happily without good news? Lv Xianger's tone was a little proud, and her expression was cute, which made Song Yuan laugh.
Lv Hong, as a party, naturally can't stop being happy from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that Lu Xianger was so cute, he remembered that Lv Xianger wanted to have a big meal before. Looking at the hour, Lv Hong reminded Lv Xianger, "Xiang'er, it's almost time for lunch. What do you want to eat?"
Lv Xianger turned her eyes and thought about it, but said with some embarrassment, "Brother, I haven't been to Jiangling Mansion a few times. How can I know what's special here?"
"Well, that's right." Lv Hong nodded and turned to Song Yuan and asked, "Sir, do you know what special food there is in Jiangling Mansion?"
"Well..." Song Yuangang wanted to say something, but Yu Guang saw Huo Qingsong drinking tea leisurely, so he smiled and said, "If you want to know what delicious food is in Jiangling Mansion, you have to ask Qingsong. Let me tell you, Qingsong's grandmother is from Jiangling Prefecture. When he was a child, he came here with Mrs. Huo. Jiangling Mansion is the most familiar place for Qingsong.
"Then I need to consult General Huo." Lv Hong seemed to be familiar with Huo Qingsong, and his tone was not so unfamiliar when he saw him again in Qingshi County. This made Lv Xianger and Chaoxia next to her slightly stunned. The two looked at each other and then looked at Huo Qingsong with some inquiry.
I don't know whether Huo Qingsong cares about the eyes of Lv Xianger and Chaoxia, or has any other thoughts. Anyway, he didn't squint and said with an unchanged expression, "Since you want to eat specialties, let's go to Hongyun Building." It is the oldest restaurant in Jiangling Prefecture, and most of the dishes are local.
"When I was in Beijing, I also heard people talk about Jiangling Hongyun Building." Song Yuan agreed with what Huo Qingsong said and nodded, "Then let's go there at noon today to celebrate for Brother Hong."
"Hongyun Building is very famous. If we want to eat there, we'd better go there early. Otherwise, it's easy to have no seats. Huo Qingsong took a sip of tea, and his voice did not fluctuate. This made Lv Xianger a little suspicious. Hearing Chaoxia admit that she was Wang Zhen's righteous daughter in the carriage, whether the person with a slightly changed face was Huo Qingsong or not.
Song Yuan didn't care at all. Hearing Huo Qingsong say this, he immediately put down the teacup. He first called Xiaowu and asked him to pay the bill before he said to several people, "Then let's go now so that we don't have a seat for a while."
For Song Yuan's decision, the rest of the people had no objection and got up and went downstairs. This time, Song Yuan was in a carriage with Huo Qingsong, and Lv Xianger and his sister rode in a carriage with Chaoxia. As soon as Xiaowu's carriage left the teahouse, Lv Hong whispered, "Xiang'er, I saw the master's family in Luming Academy."
"Brother, do you mean Aunt Zhao's family?" Lv Xianger was very happy to hear about Zhao Xiu, but she looked up and saw that Lv Hong's face was not very good, and her heart sank. Thinking of the possibility of the Zhao family in Lumingyuan, Lu Xianger asked uncertainly, "Brother, Brother Yi also went to Lumingyuan for the exam, so he..."
"Zhao Yi was rejected by Lu Ming Academy because he was a little weak." Lv Hong recalled Zhao Yi's lost and depressed look, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
Lv Xianger and Chaoxia were a little surprised why Zhao Yi was rejected, so they asked Lv Hong. Only then did I know that Luming College took the exam in the largest square in the college on the day of the exam. Each student has a table, a pen, ink and paper, and the college will answer the questions on the spot.
When he went to see the results today, Lv Hong knew that the college was in addition to letting the students answer the questions. He also secretly observed each student and wrote a comment for each student. With this comment and that answer, it is the final result of whether you can enter Luming Academy.
Taking a look at Lv Xianger, Lv Hong said with a wry smile, "When answering the question, Brother Yi once fainted. Later, he was quickly awakened and finally left after answering the question. Unexpectedly, this was indeed the reason why he could not enter the college.
"Then Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao should be very disappointed." Lv Xianger didn't think there was anything wrong with the courtyard of Lu Ming Academy. Zhao Yi was indeed too weak. It is estimated that what the ancients said about 'no power to bind chickens' is to say, people like Zhao Yi. In Lv Xianger's opinion, what else can you expect from a person who can't even pick up a chicken?
Lv Hong thought that Zhao Yi was really knowledgeable and said with some pity, "No, the master and mother are very disappointed. However, they didn't blame Brother Yi and advised him not to care anymore. But looking at Brother Yi's like that, it seems..."
"Brother, don't think about Brother Yi. I believe that after a while, he will recover. Lv Xianger didn't want Zhao Yi's incident to dilute the joy of the Lv family and began to change the topic: " By the way, brother, the wedding date of Sister Yue and Brother Yi should also be set. I remember what Aunt Zhao said, it seemed that she would let Brother Yi get married when he was 14 years old.
"Well, the teacher said that it will be on the sixth day of June. She also asked us to go back to Qinghe Village for a wedding wine. Lv Hong was a little embarrassed when he talked about Zhao Yi's marriage. Because if Lv Erniang knew about this, she would have to chat with him again. Moreover, there was a morning glow sitting in the carriage, and Lv Hong was a little embarrassed.
Coincidentally, the carriage stopped at this time, and Lv Hong didn't want to go any further, so he quickly jumped out of the carriage. Lu Xianger was stunned by his hurried appearance. When she thought about it again, she understood why Lv Hong was like this, and Lv Xianger was really happy. Chaoxia, who has been traveling south and north with Wang Zhen since he was a child, still doesn't know much about these. She just felt a little strange about the behavior of Lv Xianger's brother and sister, and did not look as shy as Lv Hong.
After getting off the carriage, a tall, simple but extremely lively building appeared in front of Lv Xianger. As soon as she looked up, she saw a huge plaque hanging high above her head, engraved with three very big words - 'Hongyun Building'.
Standing outside the gate of Hongyun Building, you can feel how popular the business of the restaurant is. Listening to the laughter coming from inside, and seeing the little two running around from the gate, with an amazing number of tea plates hanging on her arm, Lv Xianger immediately felt very hungry and wanted to go in and have a big meal.
Lv Xianger's mind was obviously reflected on her face, and Song Yuan and Lv Hong really smiled. Huo Qingsong and Chaoxia also raised the corners of their mouths, showing that they were in a good mood. However, when the two found that the other party's expression and their imagination were a little, they immediately turned their heads and looked elsewhere. It can be seen that the two are still a little awkward about each other's identity and the way they get along with each other.
"Okay, let's go in quickly. Xiang'er's saliva is about to flow down." Song Yuan saw that Xiaowu and Huo Bao had put the carriage back, so he started to walk into the restaurant. Lv Xianger in the back quickly followed, but said, "Look at what you said, it's like Xiang'er hasn't eaten for a few days."
"Look at you, it's like you haven't eaten for a few days." Lv Hong walked to Lv Xianger in a few steps and teased her, which made Lv Xianger with a white eye. At this time, she also found that Chaoxia was walking behind and quickly turned around and walked with Chaoxia. Huo Qingsong, who followed at the end, seemed to be a little relieved when he looked at their sister-like behavior.
To be honest, Huo Qingsong didn't believe that he heard Chaoxia in the carriage say that she didn't care about her adoptive father. After all, Wang Zhen died in front of him and Song Beiqiao, and no one else knew what had happened between the three. If Chaoxia said something against her heart and secretly planned revenge, Huo Qingsong was really afraid that she would retaliate against Song Yuan. And up to now, Huo Qingsong still suspects that Chaoxia's staying in the Lv family knows Song Yuan's identity and his thoughts.
Although he was just suspicious and not sure, Huo Qingsong did not dare to be careless. His only idea now is to take Song Yuan back to Beijing. But thinking of his resolute attitude, Huo Qingsong felt that he had to find a way from other aspects and must let Song Yuan leave here as soon as possible. The situation in Beijing is not very optimistic, and only Song Yuan can break the deadlock.
Thinking of the news found in the past few days, Huo Qingsong looked at Song Yuan, who was ordering. I made up my mind to find a way to send a letter to Song Beiqiao after dinner. If he agrees to the suggestion put forward in the letter, Huo Qingsong can successfully bring Song Yuan back to Beijing.
