Ningdong pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss, isn't Mr. Xingping always like this? This is his true temperament."
Chu Yue raised her eyes and glanced at her.
"Next, I'm afraid Mom will have a headache." She sighed and stood up, "I'm going to change clothes first. Ningdong, you go to the kitchen and help Aunt Song."
"Yes, miss."
Ningdong knew that Chu Yue was not used to being served by someone when she was changing clothes, so she went to the kitchen for her own good.
…
After eating, Chu Yue looked at Yun Cuihe.
"Mom, the academy is about to have a field holiday, and Xing'an wants to study. Next month, how about I take Xing Ping to the house that was awarded by the county? It was a gift from the emperor after all. It's definitely unreasonable to leave it empty. I'll first Let’s go see if we can add anything.”
When Lu Xingping heard this, he felt a little nervous and a little expectant.
He calmed down and focused all his attention on Yun Cuihe, fearing that if she shook her head, she would not let her sister-in-law take him to the county seat.
Yun Cuihe nodded.
"Okay, but if Xingping, the monkey, lets you go, will it ruin your business?"
Lu Xingping immediately looked at Yun Cuihe with an aggrieved expression, "Oh! Mom, you are my biological mother. In your heart, can I only do bad things?"
Yun Cuihe nodded seriously, "That's true, it's not like you can't do everything well."
Just when Lu Xingping was complacent and thought she was about to nod in agreement, Yun Cuihe added, "But most of the time it's unreliable."
Hearing this, Lu Xingping immediately became speechless.
He held his mouth, with a hurt look on his face, "No wonder Lu Xing'an said that I was picked up from the mountains by my mother. It turns out that in my mother's heart, I am so unbearable. I am not as safe as Lu Xing'an in work, not as focused as Lu Xing'an in studying, and failed to pass the child examination." Okay, I’m a waste!”
Seeing him like this, Lu Xing'an looked a little surprised, and Chu Yue's brows also raised slightly.
It turns out that over the years, seeing Lu Xingan doing everything better than himself, Xingping still felt a little inferior, but he was cheerful by nature, so he didn't show it.
Yun Cuihe was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Lu Xingping to say such words.
"Okay, okay, you just want to follow your sister-in-law to the county town. Why do you think you are so worthless? Mom is just joking with you."
As the mother of these children, how could she not know what Lu Xingping was going to do in the county?
She just couldn't bear to see him face danger.
It's all the flesh that fell from her body. If any piece is missing, it's tearing out her heart.
Her husband is gone, and she doesn't want anything to happen to the child she worked so hard to raise.
That's all, after all, the child has his own ideas, so he can just turn a blind eye. Maybe he will turn around after hitting a wall.
Seeing that Yun Cuihe agreed, Lu Xingping immediately cheered up.
"Is what mom said true? Do you really want me and my sister-in-law to go to the county seat?"
Lu Xingan frowned slightly as he looked at his sometimes gloomy and sometimes clear mood.
"It's not like I'm just going to the county seat. It's not like I've never been there before. Why are you so excited?"
Lu Xingping glanced at him, his face full of pride.
"Huh, I'm just excited!"
…
During the following period, under Chu Yue's instructions, Heimu conducted hell-like training on Lu Xingping, not only teaching him martial arts, but also archery.
Tiantian trained Lu Xingping until he almost fell down, but thinking about the upcoming martial arts test, he got up again and continued gritting his teeth.
As for martial arts books, such strategic books have always been prohibited from being bought and sold in bookstores. Chu Yue thought about it and sent a letter to Mrs. Lin in the provincial capital garrison to see if she could get some. This book, even if it costs a little.
Lu Xingping studied military formation with Yang Shichao for a period of time. Although it was only verbally, at least he was exposed to these things in advance. When the time comes to read the military book, many contents will be understood by analogy.
Time was urgent, so Chu Yue was doing her best to create conditions for Lu Xingping, while also taking care of the affairs of the workshop and the medical center.
In early July, as soon as Zhang Qiuying was out of confinement and her mother-in-law came to the town to look after the child, Chu Yue led Lu Xingping to Tongzhi County after confirming that her physical condition was recovering well.
Along the way, Lu Xingping expressed all the excitement and excitement in his heart on his face.
Chu Yue glanced in his direction and said, "Xingping, there is still one month left before the martial arts test. Compared with the difficulty of the martial arts test, your kung fu should be fine. You have to practice hard next. Archery and martial arts.”
"Martial Arts." Lu Xingping touched his head and frowned, "I learned a few things from Achao before, but I haven't memorized the entire military manual."
Chu Yue nodded.
"What he taught you must be the essence. Don't forget that I asked someone to collect military books for you before. They should be sent to the county lord's mansion now. Next, I will make it a point for Kuromu to watch you endorse them. If you can't memorize them, What a missed meal.”
Lu Xingping's heart beat wildly.
"Sister-in-law, it's not like you don't know that I'm not very smart."
"Who said that?" Chu Yue rolled her eyes at him, "I think it's not that you have a bad memory, but that you didn't pay attention to the book at all. The best proof is that you can pass the childbirth examination."
"So don't even think about begging me for mercy. It's useless!"
Lu Xingping curled his lips.
"Sister-in-law is so cruel."
Chu Yue felt a chill rising from the bottom of her feet to Tianling Gai, "Do you still want to take part in the martial arts test?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingping immediately sat up straight.
"Yes, of course I do!"
Chu Yue looked serious, "If you want to, then carry it carefully for me. If you don't carry it, you won't be allowed to eat!"
After hearing her words, Lu Xingping lowered his head.
"Yes~"
…
The carriage stopped in front of the County Lord's Mansion. Knowing the news of Chu Yue's arrival in advance, Huang Zhuangxian and Jiang Qingwan stood guard in front of the County Lord's Mansion.
When they saw Chu Yue getting off the carriage, the two of them quickly saluted.
"I've met the Lord of Heyue County."
Chu Yue hurriedly stepped forward to lift the two of them up.
"No way, Mr. Huang and Aunt Jiang are like elders to me. How can they salute me? Doing so would really offend me."
Jiang Qing looked at her with a smile.
"I was worried just now. Now that you are rich, you don't want to interact with people like us."
Chu Yue glanced at her with some complaints, and said with dissatisfaction with her bright red mouth, "What did Aunt Jiang say? Do you think I, Chu Yue, am such an ungrateful person?"
Jiang Qingwan stepped forward and took her hand.
"Of course not, I didn't think so. I know that Yueyue values love and righteousness the most."
Chu Yue then smiled and pointed to Lu Xingping beside him and introduced, "This is my brother-in-law Lu Xingping. He came to the county this time mainly to participate in the martial arts examination."
Then he looked at Lu Xingping.
"Xingping, please say hello to Mr. Huang and Aunt Jiang."
