    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    Lu Lizhi's rhetoric quickly disappeared in the following series of pregnancy reactions.

    Retching, loss of appetite, fatigue, insomnia at night, and even cranky thoughts, fearing that the child will not be able to conceive, and fear that the child will be born unhealthy.

    The most fearful thing is to give birth to a fool.

    The strong paternal love immediately made him fondle, and he took Jiang Baiye's hand, "No matter how stupid our cub is, we can't dislike him!"

    No matter how Jiang Baiye looked at it, it was because he disliked it a little more, maybe he was really not very smart, and it had to be because of him.

    Thinking of this, couldn't help laughing.

    Lu Lizhi withdrew his hand in an instant - this is also one of the reactions during pregnancy, he is emotionally unstable, but his temper is rarely shown unless he is pushed into a hurry by Jiang Baiye.

    For example, at this moment, Jiang Baiye had a smirk on his face, "I just like silly ones."

    "You can get out!" I won't be stupid, Lu Lizhi turned around angrily, picked up the book, and made a gesture of chasing people away.

    Jiang Baiye didn't dare to touch him, and he didn't know where Li Zhi's worries came from. He always felt that their son was a fool.

    It didn't take long for Lu Lizhi to feel uncomfortable again, and now he could no longer say harsh words about giving birth to three, four, five or six cubs.

    Thanks to Mrs. Da Da being by his side during this time, Jiang Baiye packed his things early and took him to a rented house here.

    The house is not big, but fortunately, everything is available, and it is comfortable to live in, not to mention that they are just resting here temporarily.

    As for why he didn't go back to Xuanhe Mansion, this is the characteristic of the rural examination.

    From the beginning of the rural examination, scholars can no longer work behind closed doors. Those who have a family with good skills will immediately rush to the capital when the results of the rural examination come out, do business around, get acquainted with the environment, and learn from teachers and make friends.

    Those who have no knowledge and failed the rankings should try their best to socialize, recommend themselves, and find more opportunities for themselves.

    Lu Lizhi was a talented young man born out of nowhere, if he turned around and left so ignorant of the world, he would be ostracized in the circle of scholars.

    At this time, the reputation is bad, and it will even affect the future career development.

    Who knows whether these people will become powerful figures in the future, if they don't give them face, if they are invited to participate in their literary meetings or activities, they may be narrow-minded and hold grudges.

    In the book, Lu Lizhi is a counterexample. Because he doesn't fit in with the group, he is often put on small shoes, but he will fight back quietly.

    This time, perhaps under the influence of Jiang Baiye, his cold and aloof temperament has changed a bit, or he may have his own plans.

    He took the initiative to stay, and participated in some gatherings with Song Haocheng and Yi Shuyun from time to time, occasionally officials from the provincial capital, and occasionally activities led by Tu Huanwen or famous local scholars.

    Therefore, during the banquet, this scene was staged from time to time——

    Lu Lizhi covered his face with his sleeve and retched uncontrollably.

    "Li Zhi, are you alright?"

    "Brother Lu, don't you smell alcohol, hurry up and take it down!"

    No one would make things difficult for him. When the literati were on the rise, they would occasionally compose poems, write inscriptions, or pick up a brush and ink to make some pictures.

    It is part of the fun, and it also means a competition. Often at this time, their talents will flow like a spring, bursting out with amazing creativity.

    And Lu Lizhi was often provoked by people saying that he was arrogant and conceited because of his young age, lack of cold words and the fact that he took the provincial examination in less than three years.

    But the results were all the same-everyone who wanted to provoke him was severely beaten in the face.

    Every time, Lu Lizhi could calmly and calmly deal them the most fatal blow!

    Some people jokingly said: the romantic is not talking about Fengsheng, the longest is being silent[6], and it is talking about Lu Lizhi who sits quietly on the side, only drinks plain water and does not even touch tea, and never talks too much.

    No matter the poems and songs, or the calligraphy and paintings, they are all amazing!

    Even Song Haocheng and Yi Shuyun, who boasted that they were fairly familiar with Lu Lizhi, were eye-opening. They are not geniuses, what are child prodigies?

    Although he is no longer a "child", but he has mastered so many talents, how can he be unworthy of a "god"!

    Most of the people present have exhausted all their energy after reading a sage book. It is rare to see someone as talented as Lu Lizhi. Tu Huanwen is one of them. Fang Kaiyuan has energy, but his family does not have the background for him to cultivate his sentiments.

    In a short period of time, Lu Lizhi was unconvinced and provoked many times. The more provocative, the more he showed his secrets. His talent and reputation can even be compared with Tu Huanwen, and his reputation has been spread in the streets and alleys of the entire provincial capital..

    How many people who come here here for fame want to make friends, and how many girls in Huaichun want to see him and throw a handkerchief.

    The calligraphy written by Lu Lizhi, the casual paintings and poems were snatched and treasured by others. The poor were lucky enough to get them and tried to resell them to others, but found that many people were willing to pay high prices and were reluctant to sell them for a while.

    Ordinary people may not know what happened in these circles of scholars, but Mingli Academy, which also had students taking the provincial examination this year, has keenly heard a lot of news about Lu Lizhi.

    Lu Qinghong was the first to break the vase on the table. If Lu Lizhi hadn't been too arrogant, he would have taken the provincial examination this year.

    Three years later, he will definitely have a good fight with him!

    Lu Changsheng was also quite unhappy, but the turning point came in the blink of an eye——

    He found Mr. Qingyuan and lobbied the other party, and the other party finally agreed to their conditions!

    However, the "Qingyuan Lord", who they were sure was a middle-aged man, asked them several times in a meaningful way at the end.

    "You really think it through, no matter what the consequences are, you still want my identity and let me be the knife catcher for you?"

    "Treasurer Ning, Mr. Yi, and everyone who may know your identity, solve them, and we will add another thousand taels!"

    The middle-aged man stroked his carefully grown beard, which made him look older than he actually was.

    "But not without someone else who might find out..."

    "That's our own business, or Mr. Qingyuan thinks the money is short? Five thousand taels, it's a good deal to buy a false name that you don't care about, and we don't want any other money you make!"

    "It's just a false name. People who study after pursuing these things will lose their original intentions. If you don't want to harm your grandson, you'd better stop it as soon as possible!"

    Lu Changsheng became a little impatient, and thought that you are very noble, you still make a lot of money by writing scripts, caring about these filthy money and even selling your own identity, how noble is it!

    The middle-aged man shook his head silently, and finally left a sentence, "The sergeant forgets his name, the sergeant establishes his name, and the corporal steals his name. The real victory is good;Wealth is the bane[7]!"

    Lu Changsheng's face turned green and pale, but he didn't take his three maxims to heart. He was full of thoughts that the identity of Lord Qingyuan finally belonged to them!

    If it wasn't for gaining this title, it wouldn't be of much benefit to him, he would have thought about it, and enjoyed the praise and adoration he had never had in his life.

    Lu Qinghong took advantage of this, but felt a little uncomfortable and awkward.

    At first, he just wanted his grandfather's approval.

    After being noticed by his grandfather, everything went wrong. He didn't want to give up this identity, but he also didn't want to make deals with others.

    In the final analysis, Lu Qinghong is a hypocrite who does not care about the consequences, and takes chances, as if he can deceive himself and others by doing so.

    I am really like Mr. Qingyuan.

    And Lu Changsheng is a scheming, cunning and shrewd businessman. He knows that if he wants to fully enjoy this identity without any worries, he must spread it out and treat it as a deal!

    No matter what the grandparents and grandsons think, it doesn't prevent them from quickly and excitedly starting to use this identity to boost their reputation.

    In an instant, it spread to the circle of scholars in the provincial capital, and spread rapidly among the candidates for the rural examination.

    Arrived in front of Lu Lizhi.

    Lu Lizhi unconsciously covered his lower abdomen with one hand, and held the jade-colored teacup with the other hand. His slender finger bones were more delicate than the fine jade, but he tapped the side of the cup twice as if everything was in his hands.

    Showing a bit of composure.

    There was a lot of discussion around, and two of the Mingli School students who had been defeated by Lu Lizhi couldn't help but said: "Lu Qian'an, you are indeed talented, but do you dare to compare with Lord Qingyuan?"

    There was a sudden wow on the court, and everyone's gossip ears were pricked up.

    Because of stimulation.

    Mr. Qingyuan, that is a character who has been popular for more than a year, to what extent?

    I am afraid that most of the literati circle in Daning have read his scripts, and 30% of them have listened to his storytelling, and even the name "Qingyuan" is often mentioned in many poems that have been circulated in recent years.

    Firstly, bringing his name is like being on a hot search, and it is easier to spread. Second, it is also through him to express one's ambitions and preferences, which is quite a bit of the status of those frequently quoted celebrities and saints.

    In the whole of Daning at present, the only living person who is quoted in this way is Mr. Qi Shan, a peerless genius who has passed away in seclusion.

    "There is no comparison, one sky and one earth are not on the same level at all!"

    Some people also said: "Mr. Qingyuan is only good at writing scripts, but poetry and painting may not be able to compare with Lu Lizhi. This time, Lu Lizhi may be able to compete with Jiang Yi and the Lu family."

    But Lu Lizhi himself lowered his eyes and made no statement.

    hungry.

    Some sleepy.

    Counting the time, it is time to go home, or else he will be "punished".

    This topic was left alone, but in the eyes of some people it was regarded as Lu Lizhifu's gesture of admitting defeat.

    "Hey, this Lu Qian'an is nothing more than that, he almost blows him into the sky, and he is not to know the immensity of Heaven and Earth compared with Mr. Qi Shan!"

    "The only one who can stand side by side with Mr. Qi Shan at the moment is Mr. Qingyuan."

    "But have you heard that Mr. Qingyuan seems to be a young man from the collateral line of the Lu family, Lu Qinghong, the grandson of the headmaster of the Mingli Academy..."

    The news spread quickly under the operation of caring people.

    As the night was getting darker, Lu Lizhi walked out of the brightly lit restaurant, and saw a gorgeous carriage parked under a camphor tree by the side of the road.

    Inexplicably, like an induction, he walked over.

    But when he approached, he found that the man sitting in front of the car was chatting happily with two young women.

    Lu Lizhi pursed his thin lips slightly.

    "Lu Lizhi!" One of the sharp-eyed women saw him, her pretty face blushed, and she hurriedly gave Jiang Baiye a look, and pulled the little sister away blushing and heartbeating.

    The little sister looked at Jiang Baiye with nostalgia, "This coachman is really handsome and romantic."

    "It's a pity that I already have a sweetheart, otherwise we would be alone."

    Lu Lizhi looked at Jiang Baiye calmly for a while, "What are you talking about with them?"

    "It's nothing." Jiang Baiye stuffed the letter back in his hand.

    The sparks in Lu Lizhi's eyes jumped up, "Jiang, Bai, Ye!"

    "Well, I admit it, I'm showing off to my rivals how good and lovely my lover is."

    Lu Lizhi didn't believe it very much, walked over, and was about to take the letter he hid behind his back, but Jiang Baiye quickly blocked it, which made a certain pregnant woman anxious, and tried to snatch it with ruthless hands.

    "Wait, don't worry, I'll take it apart for you to see, don't knock on the cub."

    Lu Lizhi immediately stopped, "Tear it down."

    When he saw the beginning of the letter - Mr. Qian'an... the anger in his heart was slapped out.

    "Okay, Lu Lizhi, it's okay for you to get together with a group of men every day, and read the love letter written by a woman in front of me..." Jiang Baiye started to fight back, full of jealousy.

    Lu Lizhi blinked his black feather-like eyelashes.

    "You just rely on my love for you and dare not do anything to you." Jiang Baiye seemed helpless, and said softly, "Get in the car."

    Lu Lizhi suddenly stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on his lips.

    He knew that the two women were not willing to leave just now and were watching from afar.

    He also knew that many literary talents who had just made friends were in the nearby restaurant and might see this scene.

    But the desire to kiss him became more and more intense.

    Jiang Baiye stopped him in time, looked at his bewildered expression, and changed the subject, "This is my new carriage, an upgraded version, how about it?"

    Lu Lizhi nodded absent-mindedly when he saw the more majestic and beautiful tall horse.

    Leaving aside countless bystanders with shocked expressions and overwhelming hearts, the two returned to the temporarily rented house, where they should eat and drink.

    As usual, he coaxed Mrs. Da, so that he didn't bother to go to Xianzhuang to be happy and unrestrained. Then he took a bath and changed his clothes, and drank a bowl of soup that was good for the body and the fetus half an hour after the meal.

    But the longing suppressed in the heart, as time goes by, becomes as thick as the night outside the door, like ink that cannot be melted, sticky and seductive.

    It has been more than two months.

    That night, the news of Lu Lizhi's good manliness really spread like wildfire, even far surpassing his previous talent and name, which caused an uproar.

    Some ridicule, some contempt, shame, bewilderment, admiration... Under various remarks, many people who wanted to invite Lu Lizhi stopped their movements.

    Some people who had talked with Lu Lizhi before also hesitated to alienate him.

    Those who like Lu Lizhi and those who hate Lu Lizhi began to polarize, but overnight, the difference became clear.

    And just when the bad reputation was deliberately guided by some people, it faintly suppressed those voices who spoke for him.

    In mid-September, when sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, the township examination results are officially announced.

    Who will get Xie Yuan, many people have already speculated.

    Just the night before the results of the township examination were released, the man who was three months pregnant finally managed to throw down a certain guy who was restless.

    "What are you pretending to be, you won't be able to do it again, will you?"
