The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Lu Yun was surrounded by a low pressure, and found the old steward of the manor. "Uncle Tian, how many families are there in the manor now? Are there any scholars?"

Tian Guanshi said respectfully, "My Lady Princess, there are now twenty-two households in the village, and only Old Ding's family has a scholar."

Lu Yun narrowed her eyes and wondered if this could be his home. Using the excuse of inspecting the farm, Lu Yun took Caihe and followed Manager Tian to Lao Ding's home.

From a distance, I saw a house that was more neat than the other houses. Behind it was a large blue brick and tile house that symbolized status.

Tian Guan went in first and said, "The princess is here. Mr. Bing, the scholar from the old Ding family, please come out and meet the guest."

Another chair was brought out, but Lu Yun didn't sit on it. She saw an old woman in a dark blue cotton jacket walking out of the house, followed by a young man in a cotton robe that was washed white.

The Ding family mother and son respectfully saluted the princess. Lu Yun secretly sized up the scholar. He was in his early twenties, barely handsome, and not looking strong. His eyes revealed a fear of her.

Lu Yun was very disappointed. To put it bluntly, he was not as pleasing to the eye as Liuzi, Zhou Boli's friend. Lu Yun said a few words of encouragement and asked for a volume of his essays, intending to take it back to show her father.

He caught sight of the princess' figure out of the corner of his eye and took a few steps forward.

As soon as Lu Yun entered the room, she saw Zhou Boli and Miss Fang standing very close to each other. It was not good. Spring had come, and this couple might be too.

I'll leave now. Lu Yun nodded and quickened his pace to leave this place.

Liuzi grabbed Caihe and said, "Sister, where are you coming from?" His eyes were fixed on the paper roll in Caihe's hand.

Seeing his playful smile, Cai He said unhappily, "I followed the master to inspect the farm. The master asked for a paper written by Mr. Ding and was about to show it to the master."

Liuzi immediately let go, bowed and apologized, "Sister, please go quickly, don't delay the princess's important business."

Inside the pavilion, Master Lu Er glanced at it once and refused to read any further, saying reluctantly, "The handwriting is acceptable, but the structure isn't coherent enough, and the language isn't standard enough. It's too immature. Whose child wrote this?"

Lu Yun had a bitter face but still refused to give up. "With the level of this essay, how many years will it take to pass the imperial examination and then become a Jinshi?"

Master Lu Er looked troubled and answered the question seriously, "A scholar is barely enough. If you want to move up a level, judging by the level of this article, you need to read and recite all kinds of classics, history books, and collections by heart. If you spend another ten years, you may have hope."

It will take another ten years. Lu Yun's eyes darkened. Forget it, sister. This marriage is impossible. The only thing that Mr. Ding has in his family is the big blue brick and tile house.

Mr. Ding, where did this sour scholar come from? Zhou Boli's eyes darkened as he threw the scroll of articles to the ground.

"Sister, what do you think of my place?" Lu Yun pointed at her two-story house and looked at her sister meaningfully.

Lu Rong smiled and praised, "It's really good. Mother has praised it several times, saying that your manor is well built and is no worse than a marquis's mansion."

"Then I will build one for you later. Can you..." He didn't want the big brick and tile house anymore. Before Lu Yun finished speaking, she was interrupted by Caihe who came hurriedly.

"Master, someone knocked on the door and said they've brought you a gift car. It's already been pulled into the yard."

It turned out to be Mr. Tan. Lu Yun took the list, took a look at it, and handed it to Caihe to put away.

"Who sent this to me, sister?" Lu Rong looked at the car full of gifts curiously.

Lu Yun thought her sister was interested, so she handed over the list. "It's from Mr. Tan who left a few days ago. If you like anything, just take it yourself."

Lu Rong carefully looked at the items on the list. It was full of cinnabar, iron powder, incense sticks, tokens, and several sets of four treasures of the study. These were all things that were in line with her sister's Taoist identity. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Will my sister never be able to wear nice clothes in the future?" Lu Rong looked at her mother with a muffled voice.

Zhang nodded and said softly, "Sister Yun is the True Person Runhui, who was personally appointed by the Holy Empress Dowager. She doesn't need these.

Lying in bed at night, Lu Yun began to ask indirectly, "Sister, do you remember what you said last night?"

Lu Rong said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, "Ah, you still remember, I just said it casually."

I'm young, so don't lie to me. Lu Yun turned and looked at her. "Sister, this man is really too poor and his education is average. Can I not have this brother-in-law?"

Lu Rong felt her cheeks burning. Fortunately, her sister couldn't see her face in the dark. She defended the man a little, saying, "He looks a little dull, but he has a kind heart and looks like a good person."

"Sister, your mate selection criteria are actually looking like a good man." Lu Yun felt her mind was weak, and all she could see was the thin figure of Ding Xiucai she had seen today. She did not give up. "Sister, it's too early. Why don't we take a closer look? Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are still many two-legged gentlemen."

Lu Rong couldn't help laughing at her sister's words. "Don't worry, I just think that young man is good and didn't think too much about it. I understand what you mean."

Just as Lu Yun was about to let go of her worries, she heard her sister continue, "I know everything about my eldest cousin. Aunt Sun always liked to talk about how great my eldest cousin was in the Third Prince's residence, and now it's like this." Her words were full of regret. "It seems that it's easy to find a lover, but it's the most difficult thing to find a consistent lover."

After saying that, Lu Rong put her arm around her sister, held out her book and patted her gently. "When you were little, you always didn't like to sleep, so I imitated your nanny and patted you to sleep, but you still didn't sleep. You were a chubby ball lying obediently beside me, opening your eyes from time to time to look at me. At that time, I thought, my sister is really different."

Lu Yun blinked, she had already forgotten about it.

"It wasn't until later, when you were crowned a princess at such a young age and became a nun, that I realized your path would be different from ours. I used to envy you, but now I'm both envious and worried."

"Sister Yun, do you really want to be a crown girl for the rest of your life?"

Lu Yun didn't know how to answer this question. She had a hunch that someone was secretly pushing her to become a nun.

The difficulty lies in the fact that everyone here is very nice to her, and even though she knows that they may be taking advantage of her, she will not get angry.

The person beside her was breathing steadily. Lu Yun sat up from the bed, tiptoed out of bed, and put on her cloak. She leaped from the second-floor terrace onto the rooftop, her hair flying in the mountain breeze. Her bright face was adorned with eyes as cold as the snow on the mountains. Her slender limbs and light movements made her leap across the rooftops, finally landing on one.

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. She looked up at the full moon in the distance. The moonlight was as clear as water, casting thousands of frosty rays on the world.

With a creaky sound and the sound of a door opening and closing, a figure jumped onto the roof and stood beside Lu Yun.

"The princess is in such a good mood that she doesn't sleep late at night and comes to the roof of Songtao Pavilion to watch the moon?" Zhou Boli looked at the girl in the moonlight, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
