In Lu Xingping's impression, Mr. Huang was the biggest official he had ever seen. He put away his usual incoherence and saluted the two of them respectfully.
"Xingping has met Mr. Huang, Aunt Jiang."
Jiang Qing smiled gracefully.
"The children of the Lu family are all very handsome."
Huang Zhuangxian looked at Lu Xingping. Although the boy was only ten years old, he was quite tall. A thin layer of calluses could be seen on the exposed palms of his hands.
It was obvious that this young man did not just participate in the martial arts examination with enthusiasm, he came prepared.
"The martial arts examination will be on the fifth day of August. I will also be one of the invigilators at that time. I am looking forward to your performance." After he finished speaking, he slightly cupped his fists towards Chu Yue, "Heyue County Master, there are still some things to deal with in the Yamen. Since my wife is here, I will go back to the Yamen first."
Chu Yue said to Huang Zhuangxianfushen, "Master Huang, walk slowly."
Huang Zhuangxian left, Lu Xingping looked at his back, and when he turned to look at Chu Yue, admiration flashed on his face.
My sister-in-law, a female prostitute, can achieve her current status and be respected by others by virtue of her own abilities. I'm afraid there are not many people in this world who can do that, right?
Sister-in-law is so awesome!
Chu Yue took Jiang Qingwan's arm and entered the county lord's mansion.
"I don't know what this mansion is like yet. Does Aunt Jiang have time to walk around with me? When I get tired, I'll ask Ningdong to prepare refreshments, and we can eat and drink while chatting."
Jiang Qing smiled and said, "I'm very happy."
Seeing that Chu Yue and Jiang Qingwan had entered the county lord's mansion, Lu Xingping hurriedly followed them.
The County Lord's Mansion is very large, with flowers, plants and trees complementing each other in the whole mansion. There are also small bridges, flowing water, rockery springs and five exquisite courtyards as if they are located in a garden. Chu Yue is very happy to look at it.
There were many servants in the courtyard, pruning flowers, taking care of the lawn, cleaning spring pools, or sweeping dust and leaves. They were busy when they saw Chu Yue walking by with Jiang Qingwan on her arm. Although they were strangers, they still understood her. Salute in the direction of the two of them.
"Meet the County Lord!"
Every time at this time, Chu Yue would smile back and say, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Go about your own business. Mrs. Jiang and I will take a look around the house."
It was at this time that everyone realized that the Lord of Heyue County was actually a charming, kind and considerate little girl.
"This yard is really nice." Jiang Qingwan said sincerely.
Chu Yue nodded, right? She might not be able to describe such an exquisite house in her dreams.
"The annual maintenance cost for this kind of yard is not cheap, right?"
Look at the flowers, plants and trees, they are really beautiful and beautiful. There are also koi carps in the stream, each one is fat and big.
Then I thought about it, if Master came here, wouldn't he be thinking about her koi?
Although the koi is mainly used for viewing, the old naughty boy couldn't bear it sometimes and wanted to try some new things on a whim.
If he really wants to eat, the most he can do is to cause one disaster, nothing more.
Jiang Qingwan glanced at Chu Yue and said with a smile, "With the property you have now, it is more than enough to maintain this courtyard. We have made money, isn't it just for fun? Besides, this is the imperial palace. Is it possible that you can still let it go?"
When she said the last sentence, she deliberately lowered her voice.
Chu Yue was relieved, "What Aunt Jiang said makes sense, it's just that I haven't gotten used to it for a while."
Jiang Qingwan patted her hand and said, "You'll get used to it slowly."
Chu Yue smiled and pulled Jiang Qingwan towards one of the courtyards.
"I think Ningdong has prepared refreshments. Aunt Jiang, please come with me to sit in the courtyard first." Then he looked at Lu Xingping behind him, "Xingping, you choose a courtyard to settle down first. I'll let you go later." The book will be brought to you."
Lu Xingping naturally knew what book Chu Yue was talking about, so he nodded and ran towards the yard he had just spotted.
The courtyard that Lu Xingping was interested in was the simplest of the five. In addition to a small flat lawn on both sides of the courtyard, there was only a row of bamboo planted on the edge of the courtyard wall.
His idea is very simple. For someone like him who practices martial arts all year round, the flowers and plants cannot withstand his misfortunes. This kind of simple yard is perfect.
Chu Yue took Jiang Qingwan to a courtyard with a total of five rooms.
There are side rooms on both sides, and there are three wooden houses side by side in the middle. There is an empty step. Enter through the moon cave door. There are refreshments that Ningdong has prepared in the room. There are two rooms next to it, one is a study room and the other is a bedroom.
Chu Yue poured Jiang Qingwan a cup of tea.
"How's Hao'er doing lately?"
"I listened to you, don't overfeed him, let him move more, his skin has become stronger recently."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Now that I can leave, my skin will definitely be stronger than when I held it in my hands. Aunt Jiang, please be more patient."
Jiang Qingwan nodded, "Is Yueyue almost sixteen?"
"yes."
"You are a grown-up girl." After a pause, she added, "I look at you as if you haven't had sex yet?"
The girl is a good girl, you can tell at a glance.
Hearing this, Chu Yue felt her cheeks get hot.
She pretended to cough twice and said, "No indeed. I was young at that time, so I didn't think about it. Now that my husband has gone to the capital, I don't know when he will be able to return. There is no rush."
"I think that boy from the Lu family treats you well. It's even rarer to stay in the same bed with you and maintain a gentleman's behavior for so long. It's just that in the capital, wealth and wealth are charming, so Yueyue shouldn't let down her guard. After all, he is A normal grown man.”
Jiang Qingwan was not the first to say this in front of her.
Although she believed in Lu Xinghe's character, she couldn't stand so many people mentioning this matter, and she still felt a little panicked in her heart.
"Probably not."
Jiang Qingwan smiled, "That's what I said. Keep it in mind Yueyue. Although this may not happen, we still have to pay attention to it."
Chu Yue stuck out her tongue and whispered softly.
"I can't send myself there..."
Although she will be sixteen soon, she still can't do this. She looks so deliberate!
"Um?"
Jiang Qingwan looked at her with confusion, as if he didn't understand what she was mumbling.
Chu Yue reacted and waved her hand quickly.
"No, no, I was just wondering when he would come back."
The two chatted for a while, and then Jiang Qingwan said goodbye and went home.
Chu Yue sorted out the military books sent from the provincial capital and asked Ningdong to send them to Lu Xingping's Xiuzhuyuan. Heimu also asked Heimu to watch him endorse them and practice archery.
Hei Mu is a cold-blooded man, and his methods of punishment are endless. Under his training, Lu Xingping does not dare to be careless at all.
Fortunately, hard work paid off. Before August arrived, Lu Xingping had memorized several books that Chu Yue had sent to the hospital.
Two days before the Wu Tong trial was about to begin, Chu Yue finally asked Kuroki to relax some of his intensity.
Finally, the day of the martial arts examination arrived. Chu Yue arranged for the palace's carriage to take him to the examination room early in the morning. Then he returned home and lay down to wait for the news. His face was so content that Ningdong was a little dumbfounded.
"Miss, aren't you worried about Mr. Xingping?"
Chu Yue peeled a grape and threw it into her mouth.
"Why are you worried about him?"
Ningdong raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm worried about whether he can pass the martial arts test, and I heard that although the martial arts test is not difficult, it is still a bit dangerous. If he gets injured, how will we explain it to the madam? "
Chu Yue looked in her direction.
"Do you think Mom really doesn't know why Xing Ping came to the county town?"
