The spring is bright and the sun is warm. In the West Corner Courtyard, Lu Zheng stood in the center of the yard, grinding ink and laying paper, and writing intently.

His spirit was highly concentrated and devoted, and he forgot about both the world and the self.

Lu Zheng has made some achievements in calligraphy now, and this is all his contribution to writing big characters. He practices calligraphy by writing big characters. Since Lu Zheng traveled through time, he has never been slackened regardless of winter or heat.

"Young Master, you are the leader of the mansion's trial now! The second master has asked you to reward you with another 3,000 taels of silver. Mr. Qi has already brought the silver back!" Si Qi stood opposite Lu Zheng, looked down at him, and said in a low voice.

"Um!" Lu Zheng nodded softly, without pausing in his hands.

"Young Master, Grandma, I asked someone to bring you rose cakes from the mountain, all of which are your favorite tastes. I asked quietly. Grandma was very happy to know about your two-time winners!" Huamei said again.

Lu Zheng didn't speak this time, his expression was still serious and he wrote seriously.

"Young Master, today Mr. Chen Gui and Mr. Qin Yue invite you to the banquet again! The location is on the Tingyu Pavilion Painting Boat, saying that Miss Qilan is here to accompany you!" Xiao Zhu said again.

"I politely declined for me, just say that I felt cold and felt unwell, so I won't go!" Lu Zheng said lightly. However, he said this, but his mind was not relaxed at all. He still focused on his pen and was meticulous.

Xiaozhu and the three girls looked at each other, but were quite disappointed, and finally retreated in a bad mood.

Three girls went from the yard to the main hall, and Ying'er was studying. She said, "Sister Ying'er, what's going on with your son? You have already taken the case head twice. He didn't see him relaxing at all, but instead worked harder. He stayed in the door all night, didn't go out for banquets outside, and he didn't accept the invitations from others when they came to him.

We have all asked, the young master boy made a surefire in the exam, there was no problem at all! They are already in high school, why are they still so inhumane? You can't the young master become a nerd after studying, right?"

Ying'er put down the book in her hand, glanced at the three girls in front of her, and said, "You three hooves only know how to show off in a day. In the past few days, I think you are addicted to wild animals, right? I still want to let the young master go wild like you, like you, and go wild every day outside?"

After Ying'er said this, Xiaozhu and the other three laughed. Si Qi said, "Sister Ying'er, we can't blame us. We are slaves who are servants and follow the masters. We are promising. The status of us servants will naturally rise. This is how it is!"

Si Qi spoke with a smile, and Zaimei and Xiaozhu were both echoing each other. They have been so glorious in the Zhang family these days, and everyone looks up to them wherever they go.

The servants and girls tried every means to please them and tried different ways to talk to them. Which girl in the Zhang family doesn’t envy them?

Lu Zhengzheng, who they serve, can now be ranked first in the county and prefecture exams. Yangzhou is such an amazing name. The Zhang family who came to submit posts these days have to level the threshold of the gate. They all want to meet Zhengzheng!

Among these people, many are rare Yangzhou talents, and some of them cannot even invite guests for money from the Zhang family. Now they are coming to post, which shows Lu Zheng's reputation.

Si Qi and the girls were naturally very happy, but they were also puzzled. In their eyes, Lu Zheng was so powerful, why did he work hard as hard as before?

He even worked harder than before. He used to go out every now and now he doesn't go out at all. He starts writing and reading every day from morning to night until late at night.

Lu Zheng's reputation grew bigger and bigger, but he turned a deaf ear to all this. Those talents were asking for a visit to meet Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng refused. Si Qi and the girls really didn't understand why the young master did this?

"Okay, you three girls don't make trouble anymore. The young master is devoted to studying and not being tempted by fame and fortune. This is a very high state. How can you be like an ordinary person? He is proud of his tail when he has a little grade?

People like the young master are truly accomplished? Let me tell you, in the eyes of the young master, a small scholar is nothing at all. His goal is to go to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, palace examination, and worship the emperor in the Golden Palace! Do you know?" Ying'er said.

After all, Ying'er had read books and had seen that it was not comparable to Si Qi and a few little girls. When she said this, Si Qi and others opened their mouths wide open.

In their small world, Zhang Chengxi, the Zhang family's proprietor, was a big shot, and Liang Quanyi, the governor of Yangzhou, was a first-class official. In the world outside Yangzhou, they didn't dare to imagine.

Beyond Yangzhou, it is said that there is also the Zhili province, and above the province, there is the Dakang Dynasty. The Dakang Dynasty is more than a thousand miles away. The emperor's place of residence is said to be larger than Yangzhou City. There are three thousand beauties in the palace, all serving the emperor alone.

They knew that these were all gained knowledge on the stage or by hearing stories about stories about stories. Now they heard Ying'er say that Lu Zheng would worship the emperor in the Golden Palace in the future, and each of them felt excited. Lu Zheng's image in their hearts was once again raised.

"Tsk, tsk, if there really is one day, we don't know if we can see it. Will the young master take us to see the world too?" Si Qi said.

"You think beautifully. Once the young master leaves Yangzhou, we sisters should part! After all, we are girls from the Zhang family. The young master has a subtle identity, so where can we take us away?" said Hua Mei.

Xiaozhu frowned slightly and said, "You are wrong with Mei. It's okay for us girls, but what about Sister Ying'er? Could it be that Sister Ying'er can't follow the young master? She is the young master's close girl!"

As soon as Xiaozhu said this, Zaimei and Siqi were speechless. The three of them turned their eyes to Ying'er almost at the same time. Ying'er's hands shook slightly, her heart was beating "bang", her cheeks were dyed red, and her expression was awkward.

There were countless thoughts in her mind instantly, and she felt a little panicked. She had thought about this question, but she had never had an answer.

Ying'er has a strong personality, nobleness, the life of a maid, and the temper of a lady. She gradually matured and grew up after following Lu Zheng. From Lu Zheng's experience, she deeply felt the level of people.

Ying'er is just a girl. In the past, the old lady was spoiled by Zhang Jiaheng. Later, after the second grandmother gave her to Lu Zheng, Ying'er experienced a lot of cold eyes during that period!

Now Ying'er is Lu Zheng's girl. If Lu Zheng really leaves Yangzhou, she really doesn't know where she should go.

"Don't talk nonsense. How can you talk about the young master's affairs casually? Even if the young master wants to leave, it must be after he became a scholar. It's still early!" Ying'er said.

She didn't want to talk to the three little girls anymore, and then changed the subject and said, "Okay, you girls know how to play, and don't look at the time. Why don't you go prepare food quickly? Let the young master go hungry at noon?"

Ying'er sent three girls away. Lu Zheng was still writing big characters in the yard. Generally speaking, Lu Zheng would write until noon, and then study the text in the afternoon, and write at least three texts.

The time for evening is the time for reading. Lu Zheng reads books in the order of classics, history, and collections. The classics have been completely read. Now he is reading the various philosophers. After the trial, he has asked Manager Gu to send books three times.

She sighed softly. In Ying'er's heart, she also had the same thoughts as Si Qi and the others. Seeing Lu Zheng working so hard, she also had an objection.

In the past, Lu Zheng tried hard for the boy, but now the boy has passed the test to a sure thing. Why do he still work so hard?

Yangzhou is just such a big place. Lu Zheng should take advantage of the current popularity to go out to make friends more. One is to become famous, but to consolidate his status as a talented man in Yangzhou.

As the saying goes, one is relaxed and one is relaxed, and Lu Zheng always tightens the strings. Why is that hard?

She slowly walked into the yard and watched Lu Zheng write carefully. After Lu Zheng finished writing a big word, she quickly handed Lu Zheng a towel over and said, "Young master, look at your head full of sweat, wipe it!"

Lu Zheng took the sweat towel and wiped the sweat off his face. Ying'er took this opportunity and said, "Young Master, it's been rumored outside recently that the young master got the first place in the palace examination, but there was no hope for the hospital examination! Do you know why this is?"

Lu Zheng smiled softly and said, "Ying'er, do you believe in those nonsense too? People in the world like to spread rumors, or spread rumors, and they cannot believe them!"

Ying'er said, "It's not a rumor. It was Mr. Chen Gui who said that the young master offended the lady of the Duanmu family and made Lord Su unhappy in the academic administration. You should know that Miss Duanmu's number one beauty in Yangzhou was given by Lord Su.

How can you put your face on Lord Su like that? He is the chief examiner now, I’m afraid he will have an opinion on you!”

Lu Zheng was stunned, laughed loudly, and said, "I said it was not a rumor, but it was completely rumored after reading it! What is Lord Su's status and how many beauties he has seen?

The Duanmu family is a merchant family. Even if Lord Su praised Duanmu Wanrong, he might have just forgotten it!

But some people who are flirting about Duanmu Wanrong is the number one beauty, and even brought this matter to the hospital examination. It’s really a big laugh!”

While talking, Lu Zheng put down his pen and said, "Okay, today's homework for big characters is over. Ying'er, I'll put all my pens and inks away. I'll work hard in the study in the afternoon."

"Young Master, it's not possible today. You have handed over the invitations from Mr. Qin Yue several times. You can't refuse them every time, right?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Ying'er, what do you know? This hole cannot be opened. Today, it will be opened by Qin Yue's face, and all kinds of people will hand over the post tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
