Lu Qing Lin immediately stood up and went to welcome the guests, who were all discussing amongst themselves.

Martial House Master Ning turned his head to instruct the attendants, "Hurry and invite Ci Shi over."

Very quickly, An He Zhen and Lu Qing Lin entered the main hall, and in that moment, everyone in the hall was in high spirits. Lu Zi Nuo was unable to dodge, and was brought up in front of the two of them.

"Duke An coming here on purpose really surprises us." Lu Zi Qian greeted.

Lu Zi Nuo pinched Lu Zi Nuo's arm, and could only bow: "I pay my respects to Duke An."

"As expected of a young talent. Brother Lu, good luck." An He Zhen praised Lu Qing Lin loudly: "I had long heard that the Lu Family's daughter was extremely talented, but this brat didn't learn anything, so I really felt sorry for him. But the other day, I received my husband's' Incantation of the Courage ', so I know what it means to not reveal my true self. " With that, An He Zhen took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve, which had four lines on it.

"World Flower Eyes used to be a flower without knowing its shape and name. Dan, on the other hand, was green in the late spring, and beautiful when he fell. "

This was the poem Lu Zi Nuo wrote for Mu Rong Yuan that day. Initially, it was just randomly written, but suddenly, with the mindset of a girl at home, he took out the silk handkerchief and wrote it down, and even drew the Gentian Flower, but in the end, Mu Rong Yuan searched everywhere and only found the Gentian Fruit.

Seeing this silk handkerchief, Lu Zi Nuo's thoughts went through hundreds of changes, while the people around him had long praised this poem without end.

Lu Zi Qian recognized that it was Zi Nuo's handwriting. After reading the poem, she was even more pleased.

At this moment, the concierge came again to sing, "The Poplar has arrived."

It was the county magistrate, Yang Zongqi, who had arrived. Today's banquet was worthy of being called a gathering of famous people.

"With such talent, you should have served the imperial government more." An He Zhen said as he looked at Yang Zongqi who was walking in: "It's time for all the provinces to recommend their disciples to the nativology. I think we should give this quota to the Lu family's Lang Jun."

Yang Zongqi nodded again and again, "What Minister An says is right. That is what this student planned to do." As he said this, he held up a book, "This is a thesis written by the Lu sisters. It's also very good."

Yang Ci Shi's words made Lu Zi Nuo's stomach churn. He felt extremely disgusted, and while no one was paying attention, he quickly left the hall.

Originally, she had wanted to announce to the world that she had no interest in the path of fame. However, at this moment, she was like a flying bird, flapping its immature wings and breaking its wings. Lu Zi Nuo was not a family sparrow. If she was a bird, she wished that she was a great roc. With her wings spread out for more than three thousand li, she could fly above the clouds and go down to the bottom of the nine springs. She only wished to be born free.

"Mu Rong Yuan, oh Mu Rong Yuan, is this how you help others? Or did you never understand me at all, or did you want to break off all ties with me? " The more Lu Zi Nuo thought about it, the colder his heart became.

After the guests had all dispersed, Lu Qing Lin's smile did not fade. In the past fourteen years, it was the only time he had shown a smile on the day his wife passed away.

Indeed, it was worth celebrating. To be able to become a student of the nativology in one leap without going through the county examination, what a great honor that was.

In the current Dacheng, if one wanted to be an official, he or she had to take the Imperial examinations. Those who could take the examinations were students who had to graduate from the nativology, Taixu, or four schools. As the highest school, nativology had a dozen or so Scholars each year, which was the place where the students dreamt of obtaining their books.

But the difficulty of entering the nativology was also apparent to everyone. Recruitment was limited to 300 students every four years. Half of them were disciples of the Royal Family, officials of the third grade or higher who did not need to take any exams. They automatically became students. As for the remaining 150 people, they had to pass the exam to be able to pass, and it wasn't that easy to pass the exam.

First, there were the students between the ages of 14 and 19 who could participate in the nativology's exams, and then there were the two types of examinations. First, there were the ten recommendation slots for each of the 360 states in Dacheng, and the slots for each of the states varied depending on their size and talent pool. The one who passed the examination and got the quota was Supervisor You.

Those who did not get a recommendation quota could also get a recommendation from each of the scholars. The students could rush to the sect and submit their papers to the officials and nobles, thus obtaining a quota.

The second type of policy that only the current emperor pursued was that of a merchant's son who was not qualified to become an official. Through the reference of paying a high registration fee of one thousand gold coins per person, one could not withdraw if they failed the exam. Even so, the registration of this kind of people are very active, the examination will become an example of the invigilator.

As a result, every time there were over two thousand people taking the exam, they would be able to win over one hundred and fifty places.

Originally, Lu Qing Lin only wanted Lu Zi Nuo to pass the hometown and county exams and participate in the four examinations, thereby participating in the usual exams. If he could get a small official there, he could stop the members of the Lu Family from leaving. And today, she obtained the nativology's recommendation quota. Although the entrance exams were difficult, with Lu Zi Nuo's personality, he knew that as long as she wanted to take the examinations, he would definitely take them. But, did she want to? If really pass the examination, can also comfort the dead wife, even more can make up for their own years of abandonment business.

The big sister Zi Yun and the Second Sister Zi Qian were instructing the servants to clean up the mess that had happened after the banquet. Third Sister Zi Ling coughed a little and returned to the backyard early, while Fourth sister Zi Xuan went to the ancestral hall. It was as if she only remembered the day of her mother's death.

Lu Zi Nuo staggered toward the backyard, and after tonight, he had nowhere to run.

At some point, Yun Po Yue had appeared. Moonlight followed behind her, illuminating her path forward. The further away she was from the previously noisy and formal hall, the more sorrowful and desolate she became.

She was afraid when she thought about how she would continue to move forward as a man for the next few decades, never to marry, never to have an heir, and would be left alone in the future when she grew old. After all, she was only a child in her teens. There were many things that she could understand, but could not do.

The moon hung high in the sky, and the sky was as cold as water. She only stopped smiling when she closed the doors to the ancestral hall. If one looked carefully, their autumn watery eyes were filled with ice-cold sorrow.

Turning around, he saw Zi Xuan flash a look of disgust: "You're here, can you finally show off?"

Lu Zi Nuo was miserable. Sister Four had never liked her, but she knew the reason why. His parents and sisters were all happy, but because of her birth, all the beautiful and gentle feelings they once had were all condensed into a cold ice, with nothing left.

"I …" Lu Zi Nuo was speechless. She had never seen her mother before, so it was not that he missed her.

Kneel down. Although the decision to deceive your mother was made by your father, and I cannot blame you, your mother will definitely blame you for your lack of ambition. Fortunately, today is still a good start, so you should make a promise in front of your mother.

Lu Zi Nuo slowly kneeled down and did not say a word. If possible, she really wanted to ask his mother.
