Chapter 24: Snatching
Lu Hong thought that he had hidden his thoughts very well, but in fact, everyone could see it clearly.
In terms of family background, Ling Jingshu and Lu Hong wronged him. However, Ling Jingshu's complexion is captivating, and her talent is outstanding, and she has no one in a thousand miles. Lu Hong is in love with her again, and this family business is not inappropriate.
Out of the hidden thoughts of the bottom of his heart, Lu An did not reject the matter of marrying the Ling family. At this time, a family of four was talking, and there were no outsiders. Lu An didn't bother to hide it, and asked very directly.
Lu Hong's handsome face first turned red, then white, and his complexion changed.
Lu An didn't have much patience, frowned and asked again: "You have no intention of Sister Shu?" ”
Poor Lu Hong, the pride and self-esteem of the young man were completely injured by Ling Jingshu yesterday, and then Lu Qian's questioning revealed the scar again. Now Luan is back to get to the bottom of it
Lu Hong really didn't have the shame to tell the truth, so he simply replied ruthlessly: "I only have brother and sister feelings for Cousin Shu, and I have nothing else to think about." Without waiting for Lu An to say anything, he said: "Father, I just want to study hard now, and then get married when I have a future for fame." I hope my father will be perfect! ”
"Nonsense!" Lu An's face sank: "You only took the government exam last year, and you have to wait a few years before you can take the township exam. When you have a famous future, you don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey. Is it true that if you don't get into the Jinshi for one day, you won't get married for one day? If you don't like Sister Shu, just give up this family business. When I meet Jizhou in the future, I will pick another family affair for you. ”
As soon as Lu An's face sank, everyone present was worried.
No matter how reluctant Lu Hong was in his heart, he didn't dare to refute, so he hung his head and kept silent.
Ling Shi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and hurriedly smiled and played a round game: "Master, please calm your anger." Ah Hong is studious and motivated, and he doesn't want to get married early, which is also a good thing. Since Ah Hong and Sister Shu don't have this fate, there is no need to mention the matter of getting married. Fortunately, I never said this in front of the fifth brother, and there is nothing embarrassing."
A voice suddenly sounded: "Mother, I want to marry Cousin Shu!" ”
Ling: ""
Lu Hong: ""
Luan: ""
Six eyes turned to Lu Qian, who said amazingly.
The three of them were like swallowing eggs raw, and each one looked more wonderful than the other. Especially Lu Hong, his face was stunned and shocked.
Lu Qian didn't seem to know how shocking what he said, and repeated it again: "The eldest brother has no intention of Cousin Shu, and he doesn't want to do this family business." I like my cousin, and I'm going to marry her. ”
Ling's mind was in a mess, and he blurted out: "Ridiculous nonsense! How old are you, and you're still a puzzled child. Know what to like and dislike. Even if you want to get married and marry, it will be a few years later."
"I'm twelve, only two years younger than Cousin Shu." Lu Qian straightened his thin chest, and a stubbornness that did not match his age floated on his delicate and fair face: "I know what it means to like." I like my cousin and want to spend my life with her. I'm not yet an adult, so I can settle my family affairs first. After four years, I will be sixteen years old, and my cousin will be eighteen, and I will marry her again. ”
Lu Qian wasn't joking, he was serious.
Ling gasped. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Lu An's angry voice had already sounded: "A lifelong event, how can you be allowed to play like this!" The young and the old are orderly, your brother has not yet decided on a marriage, where can I get your turn. ”
In the Lu family, Lu An is a majestic father, and he says the same. His wife, concubines, and children were all trembling in front of him, and they would never dare to contradict him at will.
Seeing Lu An's anger, Ling's heart trembled, and he hurriedly glanced at Lu Qian. Don't hurry up and bow down to your father and admit your mistakes!
Lu Qian turned a blind eye to Ling's anxiety, and raised his head and said, "The eldest brother has been smart since he was a child, and he is extremely talented in reading. So he didn't want to get married early and distracted himself, and in the future, his eldest brother will definitely go to high school and shine in the court. I am the youngest son in the family, and my talent is far inferior to that of my eldest brother, and I probably don't have much future in studying in the future. It is better to become a biological son as soon as possible and inherit the heirs for our Lu family. ”
"Besides, although I am still a minor, I know my heart very well. When I met the woman I liked, I wanted to marry her home. I think so, what's wrong? ”
This plausible fallacy sounds quite reasonable.
Lu An was hit by his young son and was quite angry. However, he was not carried away by anger, calmed down and thought for a moment, and had to admit that what Lu Qian said was quite reasonable.
As long as Ling Jingshu can be married to the Lu family and be the eldest daughter-in-law or the youngest daughter-in-law, there is not much difference
As soon as Lu An's expression relaxed, Lu Qian's heart suddenly became excited, and he looked at Ling again pleadingly: "Mother, I have grown up so big, and I have never liked someone like this. If I can marry my cousin, I will be satisfied in my life, and I will have no regrets. ”
The face is immature, but the expression is like that of an adult.
It makes people feel an inexplicable sense of disobedience.
Ling Shi fixed his mind and glanced at Lu Qian with disgust: "You are only twelve years old, and the days ahead are long, what are you talking about in this life." Isn't that ridiculous! ”
"Getting married is not a trivial matter. You have to think it through before you open your mouth. You keep saying that you like Sister Shu, maybe it's just a momentary impulse, or maybe it's just the love of sisters and brothers. If you really decide on a family affair, you can't regret it in the future. ”
Ling's tone also loosened a lot.
Lu Qian was overjoyed in his heart, and said without thinking: "Mother, don't worry, I will never regret it." ”
Being able to stay with Ling Jingshu for life was his biggest obsession in his previous life. Reborn, his love for her not only did not diminish, but became more and more intense. How could he have repented?
Ling Shi and Lu An exchanged a look, pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is not a trivial matter, let your father and I consider discussing it for a few days before making a decision." ”
Lu Qian suppressed the excitement in his heart, and resumed his usual well-behaved: "Thank you father and mother." ”
Lu Hong didn't say anything.
He just stared at Lu Qian in shock, as if he had never seen Lu Qian before.
The words I said to Lu Qian yesterday are still in my ears. Lu Qian comforted him carefully and with concern, he remembered clearly, why did he come over overnight and become like this?
When did Lu Qian have a strange mind about Ling Jingshu?
He didn't even notice it?
After that, the two brothers went to Yonghetang with Lu An and his wife, and as usual, they invited An to speak and greet the cousins. Then the guests of the birthday came one by one, and the hustle and bustle was not weaker than yesterday.
Lu Hong's thoughts were chaotic and full of worries, and he survived the day in a daze.
It wasn't until the evening that Lu Hong finally waited for the opportunity to talk to Lu Qian alone: "Second brother, you come with me, I have something to ask you." "His expression is not very good-looking, and his voice is a little muffled.
Lu Qian had expected it, and he was not surprised at all, nodded calmly, and followed Lu Hong into the house.
This composure made Lu Hong more and more depressed and angry. A nameless fire burned in his heart, and Jun's face sank: "Second brother, are you serious about what you said this morning?" Do you really want to marry Cousin Shu? ”
Lu Qian raised his head and asked instead of answering: "Big brother, do you think I will joke about lifelong events?" ”
The words "lifelong event" sound very harsh.
Lu Hong looked at Lu Qian's immature face steadily, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm so stupid." The two of us get along day and night, and you know my mind well, but I didn't know that you also fell in love with Cousin Shu. ”
No wonder Lu Qian was extremely concerned about him and Ling Jingshu's affairs!
No wonder Lu Qian asked so nervously yesterday!
He didn't care about himself at all, but he wanted to be sure that he was completely dead because of Ling Jingshu's refusal!
This feeling of betrayal made Lu Hong feel extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't have the humility he used to have when he spoke: "Second brother, my father and mother originally planned to propose marriage for me, if I agreed at that time, what would you do?" ”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Lu Qian's expression did not move: "Since the eldest brother refused, why should he think about it." ”
How could he not think about it?
"Cousin Shu should be my wife!" Lu Hong glared at Lu Qian, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "When you do this, you are obviously robbing what belongs to me." ”
The snatching word hit the most vulnerable part of Lu Qian's heart.
Lu Qian's expression also changed, and he said coldly: "Big brother said such a thing, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Men are unmarried and women are unmarried, so how can they rob it. Moreover, this is a family affair that you gave up first, and I opened my mouth to plead with my father and mother. If you don't marry her, can't I marry her? ”
Lu Hong: ""
Lu Hong never thought that Lu Qian's words would be so sharp and mean, and his handsome face turned red and white. The anger in his heart became more and more vigorous: "Lu Qian! I gave up my family because she didn't like me, I didn't want to force her to make it difficult for her, and I didn't want to force her to marry me. But what about you, knowing that I have her in my heart, and begging my parents to propose marriage for you. What are you not to love? ”
Lu Qian's eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifying light, and his expression was gloomy: "Whatever you think." Anyway, I must marry her! ”
Lu Hongqi's handsome face turned white.
Lu Qian no longer looked at Lu Hong, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Lu Hong held back his anger and shouted to Lu Qian: "You insist on marrying Cousin Shu, and I have nothing to say." But I want you to promise me one thing. ”
Lu Qian stopped, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I want you to promise me that before proposing, you must show your heart to Cousin Shu and ask for her approval." Lu Hong took a deep breath and continued: "If she doesn't want to, you can't force it." ”
Lu Qian didn't think about it, so he responded in one bite: "Okay, I promise you." When my grandmother's birthday was over, I went to look for her. ”
