Chapter 231 Congratulations

The news that Ling Xiao's eyes recovered soon reached the ears of the Lu family.

Due to emotions and reasons, all the Lu family should come to express their congratulations.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Ping led two brothers, Lu Hong, to the Ling family.

Because of Lu An's relationship, the Lu family and the Ling family kept in contact during the New Year. However, Uncle Ling regarded himself as an orthodox bastard and looked down upon Lu Ping's tendency to please King Yan. He was not close to Lu Ping on weekdays and only exchanged a few words with each other at most.

Today Lu Ping came to visit as a guest, but he was inconvenient and neglectful.

Uncle Ling and Fifth Master Ling accompanied Lu Ping to talk in the main hall. All the juniors were listening, and there was basically no chance to interrupt.

Lupine is two years younger than his eldest brother Luan, but his appearance is far less handsome than Luan. His skin is slightly darker, and he is not too tall. He has a pair of small eyes that are shrewd and smooth, and he looks very affectionate when he speaks:

"I heard that Dr. Wei cured Ah Xiao's eye disease. I was really happy to hear the good news. Today I specially brought Ahong and Aqian here to congratulate me. I also brought some supplements, which can be regarded as a thoughtful gesture from an elder like me. Fifth brother Ling can Don’t give it up.”

Fifth Master Ling responded with a busy smile: "Second Brother Lu has this kind of intention, I am already very grateful in my heart, why would I dislike it." He turned to Ling Xiao and told Ling Xiao: "Axiao, come quickly and thank Second Uncle Lu."

Ling Xiao walked forward as instructed, clasped his fists and bent down to salute: "Thank you, Uncle Lu."

Lu Ping looked at Ling Xiao for a few times and praised him repeatedly: "Brother Xiao has a handsome face and a talented person. He looks like he is extremely smart. He will definitely have a bright future in the future."

Ling Xiao responded politely and humbly: "Compared to Cousin Hong, I'm really far behind. I really don't dare to be praised like this by Uncle Lu."

Ling Wuye interrupted with a smile at the right time: "After the New Year, the Imperial College will recruit new students, and I want Ah Xiao to give it a try. If you are lucky enough to get into the Imperial College, you can ask Ah Hong to take care of him in the future."

Lu Hong immediately responded with a smile: "My fifth uncle said that very politely. Ah Xiao and I are cousins, so we should help each other. It's embarrassing to say that, I have been in the Imperial College for a while, and I am still... Didn’t really get used to it.”

Ling Ji on the side smiled and joked: "Cousin Hong, why are you so humble? In the academic assessment at the end of this year, you got an A in every subject. You are so famous in the Imperial College that my cousin, who is several years older, Deeply ashamed."

Lu Hong smiled, without any arrogance on his face: "It's all a fluke. There are many talented people in the Imperial College, but I'm not outstanding among them. I still need to work harder."

Don't be arrogant or impetuous, be diligent and motivated, and be humble.

Although Uncle Ling and Fifth Master Ling criticized Lu Hong because of Ling Jingshu's illness, they really couldn't feel bad in front of Lu Hong.

Listening to Uncle Ling and Fifth Master Ling praising Lu Hong, Lu Ping stroked his beard and smiled, feeling quite proud and contented in his heart.

Among the children and grandchildren of the Lu family, Lu Hong is the eldest and the best. At only sixteen years old, he already has a great reputation. Less than three months after arriving at the Imperial College, he began to stand out and dominate everyone.

Being so young and so outstanding, he truly has a limitless future.

What makes Lu Ping even more happy is that Lu Hong met Princess Changping by chance and unexpectedly won Princess Changping's favor. After that day, Lu Hong came to apologize with a generous gift, and Princess Changping invited Lu Hong to have lunch in the mansion. After that, several invitations were sent out, inviting Lu Hong to visit.

Such obvious favor and goodwill made Lu Ping secretly happy.

Princess Changping is a real golden girl!

If he climbs up to Princess Changping, Lu Hong will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and the Lu family can truly climb up the two big trees of Queen Xu and King Yan. When King Yan gets rid of the prince and ascends the throne, the Lu family's rise to prominence is just around the corner!

This is simply a perfect opportunity that God opened his eyes and specially sent to the Lu family.

What's annoying is that Lu Hong is not enthusiastic about Princess Changping's favor, and even tries to avoid her. After receiving the invitation, I only went once and refused to keep the appointment again.

The system in the Imperial College is strict, and you only have to take a bath every half a month. Lu Hong did not return to Lu's house even on the day of rest, citing his studies. No matter how domineering Princess Changping is, she cannot go to the Imperial Academy to arrest people. In desperation, I had to give up temporarily.

He's just a clueless idiot!

Every time Lu Ping thought about this, he would get angry and "hate iron but not steel".

So what if Princess Changping has a consort? As long as she really puts her mind to it, it won't be difficult to replace her consort.

When there is an opportunity in the future, I must "teach" Lu Hong well.

Lu Ping thought about it secretly, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk. You juniors are too reserved here. Go out for a walk and find a place to talk."

This proposal was in line with Ling Ji and others' wishes, so they hurriedly agreed.

…

After leaving the main hall, everyone's expressions were relaxed.

Ling Ji smiled and suggested: "I got a few calligraphy and paintings a few days ago. How about you come with me to the study to taste them?"

Lu Hong responded with a smile.

Lu Qian was a little uneasy and didn't pay attention to what Ling Ji said. When Ling Ji asked him with a smile, he nodded casually. On the way to the study, I looked around from time to time. It seemed as if the figure he was thinking about would appear in front of him at any time.

Lu Qian's absent-mindedness was visible to everyone.

Ling Xiao's eyesight gradually recovered, and he could clearly see Lu Qian's dejected look, and couldn't help but frown.

Since knowing Ling Jingshu's illness, Ling Xiao has lost his affection for the two brothers Lu Hong and Lu Qian.

Especially Lu Qian, who is two years younger than Ah Shu, and at this age, Fang Mu Shaoai is obsessed with her. Not only does it not make people feel moved, but it makes people feel weird.

Just thinking about it, Lu Qian has come over: "Brother Xiao, why haven't you seen cousin Shu today?"

The smile on Ling Xiao's face faded, and he replied indifferently: "Ah Shu has been staying in the boudoir these days and rarely comes out."

If Lu Qian dared to ask to visit Ah Shu, he would never consider Lu Qian's face and would definitely refuse without hesitation!

The coldness of Ling Xiao's tone was obvious.

Lu Qian glanced at Ling Xiao, wanted to say something, but silently held it back.

In the past two months, he wanted to visit Ling Jingshu countless times. But every time he had this idea, the words that Doctor Wei said would linger in his mind, making him heartbroken and he had no courage to see her.

He hoped that she would recover from her illness as soon as possible and return to normal!

Therefore, he could not appear in front of her!

When he thought of this, it was like a sharp knife stirring in his chest, bleeding and painful.
