894 Chapter 894-saving his life
Everyone had a long dinner.
The general examination was tomorrow, and it lasted for nine days. Lu Zheng had to go to kun city before the general examination ended, so everyone chatted for a long time.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Zheng picked up his teacup. it’s a pity that I can’t see second uncle’s name on the Golden roll. So, second uncle, I wish second uncle good luck with this tea!
Gu shouxin glanced at him. it’s okay. I don’t care if you can see it or not!
Although he said that, Gu shouxin still drank the tea.
Gu shouxin instructed,”you do well too!” He had the appearance of a scholar, but he wanted to do the work of a general. Forget it, it’s your choice. Remember to keep your little life on the battlefield!”
“I promise to complete second uncle’s mission, save my life, and come back to listen to second uncle’s teachings,” Lu Zheng said.
……
On the 1st of September, the triennial general examinations began.
At the entrance of the capital’s examination hall, there were already many examinees waiting in line to enter the examination hall before the sky brightened. There were also many relatives who had come to send them off.
Gu Xin and Gu Hui still looked like two young masters. Together with Cai Xiaolian, they watched Gu shouxin enter the examination hall before going home to catch up on sleep.
It was indeed too early.
The general examination was held once every three days, and there were three rounds in total.
Although Cai Xiaolian believed in Gu shouxin’s strength, she was also worried.
Lu Xue, who lived next door, would come over every day to chat with Cai Xiaolian and listen to her business.
Lu Xue was very interested in the Liansheng Street that Cai Xiaolian had mentioned before, so she asked Cai Xiaolian if it was possible to set up such a Street in the capital.
As Cai Xiaolian had said, it was better to set up Liansheng Street in the capital than in other places, because no one in the capital was short of money. The rich didn’t care about those small houses, and the poor couldn’t afford them, so it wasn’t worth it.
However, she had a plan for the capital, which was to set up a place for the rich to have fun. It would be best if it was warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
In the capital, it would snow in winter and be very cold. In summer, it would be very hot. If they set up a place that was warm in winter and cool in summer, business would definitely be good.
Lu Xue became even more interested when she mentioned it.
Cai Xiaolian’s family of four had already discussed this. After everything had settled down, they planned to get two partners and trick the Emperor into joining them. Then, they would start this.
Recently, Cai Xiaolian was still drawing!
Just from Cai Xiaolian’s description, Lu Xue couldn’t help but think of such a place.
Cai Xiaolian saw Lu Xue as her own daughter. She had a hard time. She lost her mother when she was young, her father didn’t care about her, and she had to protect her younger brother. She had a grandfather who loved her, but he died when she was of marriageable age. If it wasn’t for her brother’s ability, she would have been schemed against by her stepmother and married into the fire pit.
Lu Zheng found a good man for his sister when he was ten years old. He did not reincarnate when he was ten years old, so it was his own ability to see through people.
Sometimes, Cai Xiaolian would even tell Gu shouxin that even without the male lead Halo, this child was still a promising one.
On the afternoon of the second round of the examinations, the Emperor summoned Lu Zheng into the palace again.
The Emperor looked at Lu Zheng in disdain. “Let’s go, come with me.”
Lu Zheng was confused.
He didn’t ask and followed the Emperor.
He had been to the Imperial Palace in his past life, and the further he walked, the more confused he became. The Emperor was bringing him to the Grand Empress Dowager’s Palace?
At this time in his life, he still did not know the Grand Empress Dowager, and the Grand Empress Dowager should not know him either!
Could it be that the person in Shen Feng’s carriage that day was the Empress Dowager?
What was this low-key but very capable old lady looking for him for?
