503. In exchange for marriage
Coming out of the county lord's mansion, Lu Zimo immediately rushed back to the Hou Ye's mansion. Yuan Lu happened to be standing in front of the door waiting for him, as soon as the little marquis came out of the yamen, he didn't have time to catch up with him, and now he saw Lu Zimo riding back on a horse, and he was relieved at the moment. I heard that the old marquis has returned home, and if the little marquis also goes in with him in a while, he will have an explanation.
"Little Marquis, you're finally back." Yuan Lu stared at Lu Zimo with bright eyes, as if he was his life-saving straw.
Lu Zimo turned over and dismounted, looked at a carriage listening to at the door, and knew it in his heart. My father's carriage to go to the court on weekdays stopped here, which means that my father has returned to the house. The reins in his hand were released, and Lu Zimo ignored Yuan Lu at all, but strode into the mansion. Now, the only one who can save Liu Mei's makeup is the death-free gold medal in his father's hand.
"Alas, the little marquis, the old marquis is in the study." Yuan Lu looked at Lu Zimo's figure and told him about Lu Hou Ye behind him. He has served the little marquis for so many years, how can he not understand what the little marquis is looking for the old marquis. Thinking about it, it is estimated that there is only the Miss Liu who makes the little marquis fascinated all day long, no, it should be said that it is the young lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Lu Houye is in the study at the moment, but he is not looking at the folds, but looking at the portrait. The women in the portrait are either as demure as water, or slender and generous, or dignified and beautiful, each with its own merits. Lu Hou Ye nodded with satisfaction, this time the portrait is obviously much better than what he got last time, his son Lu Hou Ye, the future Hou Ye Lady, whether it is his appearance and temperament, it should be very outstanding. A woman who can be worthy of Zimo, even if she is not like a princess, she must be innocent.
"Matchmaker, this time the woman in the boudoir is rare." While watching, Lu Houye also praised the matchmaker who was standing aside.
The matchmaker was dressed up in a fancy way, and when she heard Lu Houye's words, she was overjoyed. "That's it, Lu Houye's daughter-in-law, it has to be everyone's girlfriend in Xiuwai Hui. These are all official ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet, all of them are one out of ten thousand, and the small jasper of ordinary people is not comparable at all. ”
Continue to look at the pictures of the young ladies, the beauty is slender, the clothes are graceful, the complexion is quite good, although the temperament is not as light and refined as the willow eyebrow makeup, it can be regarded as a good manners. The sophisticated gaze suddenly stopped on the two picture scrolls, the two women were in full bloom, one was like a spring orchid, and the other was pitiful. The appearance of these two women is also considered to be superior, although it is not the appearance of the country and the city, but it is still the beauty of the country. Caught in such a picture, there is a little more gentleness and tenderness that a Jiangnan woman should have.
"Where are these two daughters from?"
The matchmaker couldn't help but smile when she saw that Lu Houye's eyes were on the two sisters. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Nianhua is Shao Ai, and he has an aura, so it's no wonder that even the old building looks at it and likes it a little. Speaking of these two paintings, she also asked someone to inquire for a long time, and spent a lot of silver.
"Hou Ye is afraid that he doesn't know, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has just been wronged recently, and these two are the fourth and fifth ladies of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. The autumn fragrance dress is my sister Gu Wenyan, and the lake blue dress is my sister Gu Wenshu, my sister is graceful and generous, and my sister is tender like water, which is a well-known beauty in Jiangnan. I heard that Gu Sangongzi has ordered that the two young ladies who are far away in Jiangnan should be taken over, if the little Hou Ye marries one of them, the Hou Ye and the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion will be close to each other. ”
It turned out to be the two girls of the Gu family. Lu Hou Ye smiled, Master Gu has hidden his identity in Jiangnan for more than ten years, no wonder these two also have a bit of Jiangnan women's taste.
"Daddy." Lu Zimo walked all the way to the study, didn't look at the matchmaker next to him, just looked at Lu Houye.
When Lu Hou Ye saw him come back in 3, he smiled even more at the moment. "Zimo is back, just for his father, he sent the portraits of the young ladies of each family, to see if there is a favorite woman, if there is one, the father will call someone to go over to propose marriage."
His son is good at everything, and he is good at everything, but he has not married a wife for a long time. Kyoto is so noble, and everyone who can get into his eyes is born. didn't look at Lu Zimo's face, so he walked over immediately, lined up Lu Zimo's shoulder, and asked him to go in and take a look. Maybe this time Zimo will have two people who can catch his eye, and it will not be in vain for him to look for a matchmaker to add a daughter-in-law to the Hou Ye's mansion as soon as possible.
Lu Zimo stretched out his hand to push away Hou Ye's movements, and knelt down in front of Hou Ye Lu instead, his face was solemn. "Since my father has just come back from the palace, I believe I must have heard about the criminal bullying of Jiao'er, Zimo asked my father to come to the rescue and save Jiao'er."
The matchmaker stood to the side, her face a little embarrassed. This little marquis has a mouthful of makeup, doesn't he already have a sweetheart......
Who knows, Lu Houye's face turned cold when he heard this. That's right, it is true that not long after he came back from the palace, he happened to bump into Guan Gonggong, who went to report to the emperor, and got the bullying behavior of Liu Mei makeup and a woman disguised as a man to participate in the imperial examination. Seeing Lu Zimo like this, Lu Houye felt a little hated that iron could not become steel. He Lu Zimogui is the respect of the little marquis, and he can't get any woman he wants, but he just looks at a married woman. It would be good if Liu Mei was an innocent woman, but she was already married. He's a stupid son, why is he so dead-eyed.
"Hmph, you suddenly ran back for that woman? To tell you the truth, my father can't help you in this matter. Willow eyebrows make up criminals to deceive the king, capital crimes cannot be escaped, since the establishment of our dynasty, there has never been such a panicked and bold behavior! This time, the emperor must be furious, even if your father and I are a high and powerful person, I don't have that ability. ”
Once this matter is investigated, many officials must be involved, even Qiao Gelao, who will also be implicated. He ran up and intervened at this time, isn't it okay to find trouble? He Lu Hou Ye is idle in the house all day long, but he is not idle enough to meddle with the dog and the mouse. Since it is a matter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion, it is better for him to choose not to interfere. Besides, if Liu Meixiang is really dead, then Zimo's thoughts will be broken, why doesn't he indulge in such a good thing? died of a red face and trouble, just to make Zimo die, marry the daughter of an official family, and give birth to a big fat boy in two years, just enough to let Zimo live a good life.
If others said that he didn't have the ability to save Liu Mei's makeup, he would definitely believe it, but if this person was Lu Houye, he Lu Zimo would definitely not believe it. Now, the only person who can save makeup is Dad.
"Dad, don't you still have a gold medal in your hand?" That's right, he just stared at the death-free gold medal in Lu Houye's hand, even if it was the crime of bullying the king, there would still be a solution. As long as Dad is willing to help, Makeup will be fine, and she will be able to live happily ever after.
Lu Houye's face was blue with anger, he thought that Zimo was rational, but he didn't expect to be so brainless. That's right, he does have a gold medal in his hand, but it's not so easy for him to give it.
"This gold medal for avoiding death, my father will never give it to you, and I am still going to save a woman who has a husband." saved Liu Mei makeup, do you still want to watch her continue to spoil his son's life?
Lu Houye is stubborn, but Lu Zimo is even more stubborn. "Dad, Zimo has never begged you when he is so big. Today, Zimo begs you, begs you to make a move, begs you to enter the palace, and begs you to save makeup. If her father insisted on not saving her makeup, Na Zimo begged to go to prison with her, sharing life and death. ”
Lu Zimo slammed his head several times, a layer of skin fell off his head, and blood oozed out. He Lu Zimo can not get makeup in this life, but he can't watch makeup die with his own eyes, he wants to watch makeup be happy. He knew that as long as he was mean, he could threaten Gu Liufei to get makeup, but he didn't want to do it. The person in Makeup's heart has never been him Lu Zimo, since this is the case, he no longer insists on it, just wants to be able to watch her be happy.
This stupid son, he is so smart, can't he see that people don't have him in their hearts at all? If you pay so stupidly, the person who will hurt you in the end can only be himself. The son he raised with his own hands calculated himself in this way. knew that he was the only son in his life, and now he threatened him with his own life!
Well, in that case, he can't do it if he doesn't agree. Looking at the blood stains on Zimo's forehead, a trace of distress flashed in Lu Houye's eyes. Zimo has grown so big, he hasn't even suffered a little, even if he usually cuts his fingers, he will clamoring to punish his subordinates, and now he can't bear to see him like this. However, it is not so easy to get the gold medal in his hand.
"If you want me to save Liu Mei makeup, you can use your marriage as a condition in exchange."
He wanted a daughter-in-law, not for a day or two, and he believed that Zimo should know how to do it. A gold medal for avoiding death, changing a daughter-in-law, cost-effective!
"Good!" Lu Zimo didn't seem surprised when he heard Lu Houye say this. He also knows that his marriage has always been something that his father has always wanted to complete. As long as Dad agrees to save the makeup today, it's just a marriage, it's not a big deal. Anyway, he can't be with makeup in his life, and he doesn't expect to find a woman he likes. Isn't that the position of his wife? There's nothing you can't give, and since that person isn't makeup, it doesn't matter if you give it to any woman.
Standing up, Lu Zimo casually glanced at the picture scroll on the desk, and just picked up the portrait of Gu Wenyan and Gu Wenshu in his sight, and frowned. It's okay, anyway, it's better to marry a woman who has a connection with the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, so that he can at least have something to do with her. On Gu Wenyan's portrait, Lu Zimo knocked three times.
"Just her, Dad, don't forget what you promised me."
"When have you ever seen Ben Hou break his word?" Lu Houye stepped forward, handed the scroll to the matchmaker on the side, and signaled the matchmaker with his eyes not to tell today's events.
"That's it, when this woman returns to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, she will come to the door to propose marriage in three days."
The matchmaker took it with a smile, and before leaving, she glanced at the little marquis, she had been a matchmaker for so many years, and she had never seen someone like Lu Houye persecuting her son like this.
