Chapter 9: Cui Yanmei

The Lu brothers entertained Cui Longruo for dinner, and then came to the young man's residence together. The boy did not return from a walk in the evening, so the brothers sat in the pavilion in front of the house to enjoy the scenery and wait.

"Brother, where do you say, where will Yanmei go?"

"I don't know, I've looked for all the places she frequents. “

"Brother, do you know why Yanmei is reluctant to marry?"

Lu Zi'an didn't say anything.

"Brother, is Yanmei ...... you?"

Lu Zi'an's face sank, and his eyes were sharp, "Don't say this." ”

Lu Ziyu shrugged his shoulders and touched the ash of his nose.

"Brother, you say, why does Uncle Cui Shi have to see Gongzi?"

"Because of Linghua. ”

"Yes, brother, I think so too, does Uncle Cui Shi also covet Linghua?"

"Who in this world doesn't covet it?"

"Yes, after reading those records, I want to fight for that Linghua. ”

As the two were talking, they watched the young man return, and then got up and saluted.

The boy returned the salute and invited the brothers into the house.

After serving tea, the young man wrote on the paper: "The library is finished." “

The Lu brothers were obviously taken aback, and Lu Ziyu said: "It's only been three months, and you've finished reading the books in our library? ”

The boy lowered his head and said nothing.

Lu Zi'an asked, "Childe, but you want to discuss where to go?"

The boy nodded.

Lu Zi'an said: "At that time, Ah Xuan left you here because you liked this library, and now that the collection has been exhausted, I wonder if the son is still willing to stay here? “

The boy stood up and saluted in thanks. Then he wrote on the paper: "I wish to find another collection of books." ”

Lu Ziyu seemed to be about to collapse, "You said you, I haven't seen enough, our Lu family's library is already the largest in the world, I am grateful that I didn't have a classmate with you, otherwise I would have been beaten to death by Mr." ”

Lu Zi'an stopped Lu Ziyu with his eyes, and he kept silent, but he still looked angry.

Lu Zi'an said slowly: "We still need to discuss this matter, please also ask the son to stay for a while, Ah Xuan will be here soon, you are brought by him, you want to leave, say hello to him too." ”

The boy nodded.

The Lu brothers said goodbye, the night was getting thicker, the moon was like a hook, and it appeared and disappeared, and everything was obscure.

As the two brothers walked, they said a word.

"Brother, do you really let him go?

"He wanted to read the books of the Star Picking Pavilion. ”

"Hmm, why didn't I hear that?"

Lu Zi'an smiled slightly, "This son, who is cautious and not colored, if he is a peer, I will definitely regard him as a confidant and guest." ”

Lu Ziyu pursed his lips, "Brother, don't praise him." Praise me. “

Lu Zi'an smiled even more, "Okay, Ziyu is the best." “

Lu Ziyu was like a bee with honey, talking and laughing around Lu Zi'an.

Lu Zi'an said: "We will consider this matter in the long run. ”

Lu Ziyu looked proud: "Well, my brother must have a way." ”

Choi Yeon-mei, who had been missing for a few days, has returned. His clothes were covered with grass clippings and dust, and his hair was a little messy. was pushed by her father to take a shower and change clothes first, and freshen up and put on makeup. The newly dressed Yan Mei has a composure and courage that she didn't have before, but that courage looks as thin as a cicada's wings.

Yanmei asked her father to call all the Lu brothers over, and she also called the son in the ancient painting to witness and discuss her own affairs with her father.

If Cui Long had no choice, he had no choice but to agree, so after lunch, everyone gathered in the hall again.

Yanmei saluted everyone, knelt in front of Cui Longruo, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Daddy, I'm not going back." I don't discuss marriage. If you allow it, I will continue to stay in the library, if you do not allow it, I will be splattered with blood on the spot, and my daughter will be unfilial. ”

All the people around were shocked, and the young man also raised his eyes, looking at this familiar slender woman, who had burst out with such a powerful force.

Cui Longruo's face turned blue and white, white and blue, and he said after a while: "Go back and talk about it, family affairs should not be publicized." ”

Cui Yanmei shook her head categorically, "If I go back, I can only be dominated, and I won't go back." ”

Cui Longruo suppressed his anger: "You have passed the Double Ten period, and you still don't discuss marriage, do you want to die alone? If you don't go back, you must have a reason! I have never heard anyone say that you will not marry for the sake of the library in your life." ”

Cui Yanmei plucked up great courage: "I won't go back, not just for the library. ”

After a slight pause, she said word by word: "I have a sweetheart." ”

Cui Longruo seemed to be about to turn his back on his anger: "You, you, you are a yellow flower girl, what are you talking about in front of so many people? Do you want your reputation? Do you want your reputation anymore? You, you, where do you put the Cui family!"

After Cui Yanmei said it, she calmed down a lot, "Daddy, forgive my daughter for being unfilial, my daughter has never thought of marrying someone else in her life, if my sweetheart doesn't want to marry me, I will stay in the library to study all my life, but if my sweetheart is willing to marry me, Daddy, please fulfill your daughter." As she spoke, Cui Yanmei's tears poured out, and she couldn't stop it.

The corner of the young man's eyes swept to Lu Zi'an.

Lu Zi'an's face was also very strange, red and white, and extremely embarrassing.

"Daddy, you love your daughter, and the happiness of your daughter's family is in marriage. You take me back to discuss marriage and let me marry someone I don't like. Daddy, there are many couples in this world who look like each other, many of them are my couple, but if I can stay with my sweetheart for the rest of my life and grow old, then I will die without regrets. ”

Cui Longruo closed his eyes, but his palms were tightly clenched into fists.

Lu Zi'an got up and said, "Cui Shibo, this is your family matter, so we will retire first." Cui Longruo opened his blood-red eyes and nodded.

Lu Zi'an, Lu Ziyu and the young man saluted together, ready to say goodbye.

Cui Yanmei cried and said loudly: "Brother Zi'an, don't go, don't go." You tell your father, you are willing to marry me, you and I beg my father, we are childhood sweethearts, often accompanyed, affectionate, two hearts, obviously a good couple, why take me back to discuss marriage. Cui Yanmei said while crying, her face was as red as blood, and she was already a little about to faint.

Lu Zi'an was stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning, and even his neck was red, and he hurriedly saluted Cui Longruo and said, "Uncle Shi, don't misunderstand, I don't have any personal relationship with Yanmei." ”

Cui Longruo's face calmed down a bit.

"Uncle Shi, I grew up with Yanmei since childhood, but we were just childhood playmates. "'And the marriage is a major event, since it is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can the little nephew not abide by etiquette and do things that are against human ethics?"

Cui Yanmei looked at Lu Zi'an directly, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Brother Zi'an, don't you like me?"

Cui Longruo slapped the square table in his hand, and the table shattered into powder.

"I don't have a daughter like you. ”

After saying that, he left without looking back.
