CH 71

Lu Lin put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Getting married is not a trivial matter, this king has to think about it for a while."

It was not uncommon for the man to come to the house to propose marriage, and the woman to hold back once or twice.

Matchmaker Zhao was secretly relieved and said a good word with a smile on her face.

Master Zhou quietly stretched out his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Mrs. Zhou looked at her son eagerly, and the phrase "When shall we go" was almost written on her face.

Zhou Li was reluctant to leave.

On that day, while riding a horse and parading on the street, he saw a glimpse of her. That gentle and beautiful girl caught his eyes and was imprinted in his heart.

What made him even more excited was that the housekeeper Lu of the Xingyang Palace quickly came to the door. The meaning inside and outside the words was very obvious.

Xingyang Wang's righteous daughter, Third Miss Lu.

It turned out that the beautiful girl in the teahouse had such a prominent family background.

Lu Lin, King of Xingyang, had only one biological daughter and treated several adopted sons and daughters as his own. With this marriage, he can marry the girl he likes. Second, it is a good thing for Zhou family and him. With the help of the Lu family in the future, his official career will be much smoother.

Today, when they came to the door to propose marriage, the Lu family was showing off. This is nothing. As long as he can marry Miss Lu San, it's nothing to bow your head.

Zhou Li suddenly stood up, clasped his fists at King Xingyang, and bowed slightly: "Xiaguan has something to say, please allow King Xingyang to agree."

Lu Lin glanced over: "If you have something to say, you can say it."

Lu Mingyu also fixedly looked at Zhou Li.

Under the sharp eyes of the father and daughter, Zhou Li was able to maintain his composure, and he could be considered calm.

"The Zhou family is a family of farming and reading, and the family background is ordinary, far from being on a par with the Lu family." Zhou Li's face was sincere: "Xiaguan was lucky enough to pass the exam, so he had the courage to come to the door and ask for Third Miss Lu."

"Xiaguan swears here; if he can be the son-in-law of the Lu family in the future, he will definitely treat his wife wholeheartedly and not let her suffer any grievance..."

Lu Mingyu interrupted Zhou Li who was talking nonstop: "Will you take a concubine?"

Zhou Li: "…"

Zhou Li was almost dumbfounded by the question.

Fortunately, he responded very quickly. After a moment of shock, he quickly responded: "Of course not."

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Lu Mingyu's eyes, and she continued to ask: "Can you refuse the beautiful concubine sent by Shangfeng or colleagues? Go to Huafang brothel to drink flower wine, there is a beautiful and enchanting oiran who wants to entrust herself to you for life, will you refuse her?"

Zhou Li: "…"

Those black eyes were so bright that they seemed to be able to see through all his thoughts. The indifferent but sharp questioning was even more difficult to resist.

Zhou Li looked away a little embarrassedly, cleared his throat, and replied, "In the future, I will definitely be loyal to my wife, and I will not be tempted."

Lu Mingyu twitched the corners of her mouth and said lightly: "This is what you said yourself, don't forget it."

To tell the truth, Lu Mingyu suddenly asked such a question, which was quite a bit of bullying.

However, Lu Lin didn't say a word, turning a blind eye to his daughter's almost rude behavior. The Lu family's siblings, together with the eldest son-in-law, stared at him, obviously all on Lu Mingyu's side.

Zhou Li knew that he must not hesitate at this time, and responded without thinking: "Yes, what I Zhou Li said here today, will always be remembered in my heart and will never forget."

No matter what, at this moment, Zhou Li's desire to marry Lu Minghua is eager and sincere.

Lu Mingyu took a deep look at Zhou Li: "It doesn't matter if you forget it. Naturally, someone will remind you."

Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were all cowardly and didn't dare to say a word at all.

Matchmaker Zhao had to bite the bullet and smooth the game again, she laughed and said: "Zhou Tanhua is not only a literary star, but also a young man who values ​​love and justice."

As she said it, she winked at Zhou Li.

Zhou Li calmed down and said goodbye: "I'm going to the door today, there is so much harassment. I'm going back now."

Logically speaking, if the Lu family intends to marry, the Lu family should stay with the Zhou family for lunch. If the Zhou family were to leave just like that, it would appear that the Lu family was too high. I'm afraid the Zhou family won't have the courage to come back.

Lu Lin glanced at Lu Mingyu calmly. No matter how unhappy Lu Mingyu was, she nodded slightly.

For the third sister, she also has to save some face for her future husband's family.

Lu Lin opened his mouth and asked the Zhou family to stay for lunch.

The heart that Zhou Li raised high finally fell gently, and there was a gleam of joy in his eyes.



Lu Minghua stayed in the boudoir until the Zhou family left after lunch and did not show up.

Lu Mingyu pushed open the door and entered, and saw her third sister was shy and blushing. You don't need to ask, you know, you must be thinking about your future husband.

Lu Mingyu felt upset when she thought of her future third brother-in-law. It's just that the things that should be said have been said yesterday, and since Lu Minghua can't be beaten, it's better not to say them.

"Fourth sister," Lu Minghua opened her mouth shyly: "Today the Zhou family came to propose marriage, has the adoptive father agreed?"

Lu Mingyu smiled: "There is no reason to respond immediately. My father asked the Zhou family for lunch, and asked the matchmaker to come back to Lu Mansion to hear back in a few days."

The Lu family went to the Shen family to propose marriage, and after going three times, the Shen family nodded.

As a woman, even if you are willing to do everything, you have to be a little reserved.

Lu Minghua blushed and hummed.

Lu Mingyu said leisurely: "Third sister, I gave the Zhou family a show. Zhou Tanhua said in front of me that in the future when you get married, he would not take concubines, and would not be confused with women outside."

"What he said these himself, everyone heard today. In the future, if he dares to do anything wrong to you, I can't forgive him."

The last five words were spoken lightly.

But Lu Minghua knows the weight of this sentence.

The six siblings of the Lu family may not be related by blood but the friendship between them was very deep.

Lu Mingyu is the backbone of the six siblings.

Lu Minghua's nose was slightly sour, her eyes were hot, and she threw herself into Lu Mingyu's arms, her voice a little choked: "Fourth sister, you are so kind to me, I...I really don't know what to say."

Lu Mingyu patted Lu Minghua's slightly slender shoulder and said softly: "You don't need to say anything. Third sister, marry the Zhou family, in the future live a good life, and live a happy and stable life. For me, this is the most important thing. It's something to be happy about.”

Marry if you want!

The Zhou family is not a wicked villain, and he did not dare to do anything too outrageous in his previous life. Speaking of which, the Zhou family was extraordinarily snobbish.

In this world, who is not snobbish?

She and the second prince were entangled, and she was destined to marry into the royal family as a royal consort. In the future, she still wants to step into the palace gate and become the Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty.

That being the case, she kept her heart and took power firmly into her hands. This was far more reliable than any sweet words.

With her backing, the Zhou family would never dare to treat Lu Minghua badly.

T/N The way she treats Zhou Li is one of the reasons why I love her. Though being reincarnated, she doesn't go all the way to revenge against the people who had somehow wronged her. She gave Zhou Li a chance and also knew that since she was entering the royal family, as long as she had power and prestige, her family will be safe.
