The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

After Huo Jingyi spoke, Huo Junyan and Huo Junyu suppressed their shock and all turned their eyes to Lu Huaizhu.

Lu Huaizhu raised his eyes, glanced at Huo Jingyi, nodded and said:

"All correct, you win."

"Wow!" Huo Jingyi cheered immediately, ran to Shen Qinglan, opened her arms and said:

"Mother! Yi'er won! Go and praise Yi'er!"

Shen Qinglan smiled and picked her up, nodded her little head, and praised:

"Yier must have practiced a lot, right? This is what Yier deserves."

"Yeah, yeah!" Huo Jingyi nodded her head heavily, then looked at Lu Huaizhu and said proudly:

"Sir, can you please announce my brother's answer?"

When Huo Junyan and Huo Junyu heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, but the tension grew again.

They really didn't expect it. They thought that this bet would depend on their two brothers, but in the end, it was their younger sister who unexpectedly turned the tide!

Two wins in three games, but with one win and one loss, the outcome of Huo Junyan's strategy becomes particularly important...

Even though Huo Junyan originally had some confidence in himself, he couldn't help but become nervous at this moment.

Lu Huaizhu glanced at the few people, smiled, and without saying any more nonsense, he turned directly to Shen Qinglan, folded his hands and stretched them out in front of him, bowed deeply to Shen Qinglan, and said:

"It's my cousin's fault. I shouldn't have called you a vase. Now, I sincerely apologize to you. You have taught these three children well."

Lu Huaizhu's gift was not only a fulfillment of the bet with Huo Junyan and others and an apology to Shen Qinglan, but also an acknowledgement of Shen Qinglan's vision.

Shen Qinglan knew that Lu Huaizhu had recognized three children, so she immediately returned a solemn salute to Lu Huaizhu and said with a smile:

"In that case, the three children will be taught by my cousin from now on! I hope my cousin will not hide anything from me!"

Hearing this, Lu Huaizhu raised his head, glared at Shen Qinglan helplessly and said:

"Who do you take me for?"

Shen Qinglan smiled and said nothing more. He just looked at the three little ones who were a little dazed at the moment and said:

"What are you still standing there for? Your cousin Lu has agreed to accept you as his disciples. Come over here quickly, kneel down and offer tea to him."

The three little ones were still a little dazed.

They didn't expect that Lu Huaizhu would fulfill the bet so quickly!

So when he heard Shen Qinglan's words, he didn't think too much for a moment, and just came forward obediently, took the tea prepared by the servants, and knelt in front of Lu Huaizhu.

The three little ones kowtowed three times to Lu Huaizhu in unison and respectfully handed him the tea to pay tribute to the teacher.

Lu Huaizhu smiled and took the tea one by one. After taking a sip, he said loudly:

"Without the accumulation of small streams, there will be no river or sea. If you are young and do not learn, you are like water without a root. Now that you have entered my school, you must be modest and cautious, and be respectful and polite, so as not to let down the kindness of my teacher's teachings."

After Lu Huaizhu finished speaking, he gave the apprenticeship gifts to the three children respectively, which were three identical jade pendants.

When Shen Qinglan saw the three jade pendants, her heart softened a little.

Judging from the quality and appearance of the three jade pendants, it is clear that they were not made casually but were probably specially prepared long ago.

Therefore, Lu Huaizhu had no intention of rejecting her request to take the three children as apprentices from the beginning.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Marquis Jing'an has no sons, only her and Shen Qingli.

Therefore, Shen Qinglan has always treated Lu Huaizhu as his own brother, and now it seems that he feels the same way.

After the three little ones left Ming Academy, their steps were still a little unsteady!

The person who seemed so unreliable and spoke ill of their mother behind her back was actually their cousin?

So, from the very beginning, Lu Huaizhu deliberately provoked them and set a trap for them to take the initiative to propose the bet.

Firstly, Lu Huaizhu probably wanted to dampen their spirits, and secondly, he also wanted to see what they were capable of...

"Brother, how can we become his apprentice? We haven't even tested him yet! Who knows if he's any good? If I get a bad one, won't people laugh at me when I go out?"

Huo Junyu sighed and shook the jade pendant in his hand. He had already become his disciple, and he couldn't disown him in the future.

"You don't believe in your mother? Or do you not believe in the Lu family?"

"Lu's?" Huo Junyu was a little curious.

"The Qinghe Cui family and the Qinghe Lu family are both the two major clans in Qinghe, with a very deep foundation. I heard that the Lu family had a young genius several years ago..."

"When he was young and frivolous, he visited all the great scholars of the time one by one, and he never failed. After that, he easily passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. He refused the emperor's decree to confer an official title, and he was able to escape unscathed..."

Huo Junyu and Huo Jingyi opened their mouths in surprise. Huo Jingyi even asked:

"Brother, do you mean that this Mr. Lu is the genius?"

"Based on his age, name, and the degree of trust and respect his mother has for him, he should be about the same..."

At this point, Huo Junyan's eyes were already sparkling with excitement.

If this is the case, then they have been blessed with a great opportunity!

Huo Junyu was confused as he listened to this, but he finally understood that Lu Huaizhu was a very capable person!

Thinking of this, Huo Junyu directly sent someone to the Minister of Revenue's Mansion to deliver a message.

Lu Huaizhu settled down in Prince Zhan's mansion.

The next morning, Shen Qinglan was still looking at the account book when she heard Lu Huaizhu's angry voice outside.

"Shen Qinglan! You asked me to teach your three children, so that's fine! But why is there one more? Do you really think of me as a laborer?"

As Lu Huaizhu said this, he had already rushed into the yard and was about to rush into Shen Qinglan's dormitory.

Shuwen walked to the door as soon as possible, drew his sword quickly and put it against Lu Huaizhu's neck.

Lu Huaizhu's foot suddenly stopped, stretched out his hands to hold Shuwen's sword, looked at Shuwen carefully, and his tone suddenly became better. He said:

"Oh? Miss Shuwen, why are you wielding your sword for such a good reason? It's really hurtful. I'm just complaining to my cousin. It's not worth it for you to be tired."

Shu Wen glanced at Lu Huaizhu coldly and said, "My cousin is a man from outside the family. Please be aware of your identity and don't bring trouble to the reputation of our princess."

"Hey, hey, hey, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault. I'll wait outside. Lan'er, take your time getting dressed."

Lu Huaizhu smiled and took a few steps back. Shuwen didn't say anything extra. He swung the sword in his hand and put it back into the scabbard.

The movement was crisp and smooth.

Shuyu watched from the side and couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help saying:

"It seems that Shuwen is the one who can teach my cousin the proper etiquette."

Lu Huaizhu glared at Shuyu in annoyance. He was just a scholar who used his brain. How could he fight with Shuwen? That was like a nephew trying to light his uncle's fire. Wouldn't that be like a nephew looking for death?

Shen Qinglan heard the noise, put down the account book and walked out. Seeing Lu Huaizhu's aggrieved look, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? Come to Ming Academy and have a look! You are simply forcing me to join the Liangshan Rebellion!"
