Chapter 401 Chapter 402: Same Jinshi

"Ahem!" Qiao Yuanan coughed twice deliberately, trying to attract their attention.

"Hey, second brother, you came out too?" Qiao Jingru exclaimed.

Qiao Yuanan: "..."

Suddenly felt that the internal injury was a bit serious.

You might as well not call me.

Lu Chao bowed his hands to Qiao Yuanan: "Second brother."

However, the disheveled appearance is very embarrassing.

Qiao Yuanan gave Lu Chao a picky look, and the word "En" escaped from his throat, then looked at Qiao Jingru again, and said dissatisfiedly, "Lu Chao must be homesick after so many days in the Gongyuan, not to mention that everyone in the Lu family must be If you are in a hurry to see him, it is not right for you to take him back."

"Right, Lu Chao?"

Lu Chao looked at the slightly warning eyes of his second uncle, and couldn't help trembling, and nodded weakly: "Second... What the second brother said is that I have to go back to the house to report the situation to my grandmother and father. Go to Qiao Mansion to find you."

"Alright then." Qiao Jingru nodded.

Qiao Yuanan passed Lu Chao, pulled Qiao Jingru up and strode away.

"Second brother, why are you walking so fast?"

Qiao Yuan'an: "I stink all over, I hurried back to take a shower."

"Then you can go back first, I'll have a few words with Lu Chao."

"He also stinks, and he is in a hurry to go back to take a bath."

Looking at the two brothers and sisters walking away, Lu Chao rubbed his nose embarrassingly. Except for his mother-in-law and Qiao Qiao, the Qiao family has accepted him. From father-in-law to brother-in-law, they still don't want to see him.

God bless, he must be a Jinshi.

Even if you are a fellow Jinshi.

Let him take his wife home first.

The carriages at the gate of the Gongyuan picked up their masters one after another, Lu Chao found the carriage of Lu Mansion, Wenzhu and others approached and realized that it was his young master.

"Young Master, you are here."

This is a sloppy ghost after every exam.

Lu Chao is very tired, he doesn't want to talk to anyone except Qiao Qiao.

He raised his hand feebly and climbed into the carriage.

Seeing this, Wenzhu didn't ask any more questions, and drove back to Lu's residence in a carriage.

In the Lu residence, the old lady has sent someone to check the door several times since the morning. When the doorkeeper saw Lu Chao coming back, he hurriedly ran towards the residence: "You're back, the young master is back, go and report to the old man." Man, the young master is back."

So such shouts spread all the way to Fuyuantang.

When the old lady received the news, Lu Chao had already strode into the courtyard.

Seeing her grandson who has gone through a lot of vicissitudes and lost weight, the old lady is both distressed and happy.

"Grandmother."

"Hey, are you tired?"

Lu Chao smiled and shook his head: "Compared to marching and fighting, I just took part in the autumn exam, so I'm not tired."

"Go back and wash, and have a good sleep." The old lady said.

Although she really wanted to talk to her grandson, but looking at Lu Chao's black face, the old lady felt very reluctant.

After the exam, it's a foregone conclusion whether it's good or not. We'll talk about big things when the results are released. It's better not to ask too many questions, so as not to make your grandson worry too much.

Lu Chao didn't refuse either: "Okay, come and have dinner with grandma in the evening."

"Okay, call your father and sisters, let's eat together as a family."

Having not showered for a few days, Lu Chao also disliked himself so much that he washed it twice before putting on his clothes refreshed.

Most of the servants in Qinghui Courtyard were Qiao Jingru's dowry. When she left, all the servants also left, leaving only a few handmaidens.

Wenzhu also lived in Tsinghui Courtyard to take care of Lu Chao after Qiao Jingru left the Lu family. In the past, the young master only took him with him when he went out.

"Master, where are you going?" As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lu Chao wearing a belt, and then hung a purse embroidered with bamboo on his waist.

Asparagus recognized it, it was embroidered by the young lady herself when she just got married, but the young lady's embroidery skills were mediocre, and the young master refused to wear it because she thought it was ugly, but she actually put it on today.

And she is so handsomely dressed, is she going to meet the young mistress?

You haven't slept well for so many days, aren't you tired, young master?

"Looking for Third Sister." Lu Chao straightened his clothes and said without raising his head.

The corner of Wenzhu's mouth twitched slightly, seeing Miss San, why are you dressing yourself up so decently?

In Qixia Courtyard, Lu Xiang sat cross-legged on the floor, reading with relish with a book in her hand, and Lu Qiao sat opposite her, carefully flipping through the account book. Back then, her aunt and Aunt Yao were really thinking about the power of the house all the time, but there was no mistress in the house, so the grandma was in charge of the house, and they couldn't even touch a single corner.

But now, she is actually sitting in the third sister's room, checking the account books openly, but it feels unreal no matter what.

She doesn't even know how she came across these ledgers.

Ah, a few days ago, when she came to talk to Third Sister, she happened to be checking the account book, so she looked at it curiously, and Third Sister asked her if she was interested?

She shook her head hurriedly.

Just kidding, if Third Sister knew that she was thinking about this, wouldn't she be angry and draw a line with her? Finally, the relationship with the third sister eased up a bit, and there are many benefits to being with the third sister, except that my aunt was grounded in the North Courtyard, her life in the mansion was not easy, and she had to have a hard time with the third sister.

But before she showed her attitude, she saw the third sister pulled her to sit beside her with an excited face, forcefully stuffed an account book in her hand, and said with a smile: "It's good to be interested, just to learn Once you learn it, after you learn it, you help my sister-in-law housekeeper, and I will relax."

At that time, Lu Qiao only felt her head "buzz", and it went blank.

So let her learn to read the account books to help the manager?

And it is no exaggeration to say that she clearly saw the relief in the eyes of the third sister, as if she had finally found someone to do the hard work for her, and she could be more lazy.

Being robbed of the life-and-death control of the house, in the eyes of the third sister, she became a scourge.

Lu Qiao: "..."

It's quite fascinating!

"Third sister, I can't figure out this sum." Lu Qiao thought for a long time, and finally raised her head to look at Lu Xiang opposite, and said bitterly.

Lu Xiang glanced at the direction of her finger, then took the abacus, pulled it out quickly, and handed it to Lu Qiao again after the calculation.

Lu Qiao suddenly realized, and looked at Lu Xiang with some admiration: "Third sister, you are really amazing."

Lu Xiang smiled.

Having been the head of a family for a lifetime, settling accounts is a breeze for her.

If the Lu Mansion was full of savage beasts, Lu Xiang would definitely hold the power in his hands, but these things are managed by the sister-in-law, Lu Xiang didn't want to bother at all, and just wanted to lie flat and eat in the Lu Mansion Mixed drinking, but so many things happened, the sister-in-law hasn't come back yet, and she couldn't bear the grandmother's hard work, so she was forced to drive the ducks to the shelves. It was hard to catch a laborer, and she couldn't help her.

Anyway, when Lu Qiao gets married in the future, she has to learn these common tasks, so she should get used to it in advance.

The big power is in the hands of the sister-in-law, and the small power can be divided out, which is not tiring.
