Volume 2 The Family Chapter 18 What if you don't marry in this life?
Lu Hanqing and Zhang Ying made an appointment to go to the martial arts arena of the Lu family's mansion at dawn tomorrow to have a good fight.
Compared to the main mansion of the Wuxing Shen family, the Lu family's mansion is not so big. But as the faΓ§ade of Lu's gate valve, it is definitely not small. There is a Longxing Street in Fanyang City, and this street where two carriages can travel side by side is built in the Lu family's mansion, which is a place that only the Lu family can pass through. The grandeur of the Lu mansion can be seen.
The guest rooms in Lu's mansion are concentrated in two areas, the East Wing and the West Wing. As the name suggests, it belongs to the east and west ends of the Lu house. From the east carriage to the west carriage, it also takes half an hour to travel by carriage. In order to prevent the inconvenient black-pasted guests from meeting with other court officials, the Lu family deliberately arranged the two groups of guests in the guest rooms of the east and west compartments. Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying were arranged in two adjacent rooms in the West Wing.
The moon gradually crept up, and candles lit up outside. The north is dry, and each room of the Lu family arranges for a subordinate to sprinkle water at any time, holding a large fan to spread the water vapor to all parts of the room, so as to prevent the guests from the south from drying out their skin due to not adapting to the dryness of the north. Zhu Chuba didn't care, so he let the people waiting in the room retreat early. But Zhang Ying is a girl, although she can't see it on weekdays, but in her bones, she doesn't want her beauty to be greatly reduced due to chapped skin.
Zhu Chuba stood at the door of Zhang Ying's room and knocked on the door.
"Can I go in?"
Zhang Ying and Zhu Chuba have affection for each other, although they have not yet broken the last layer of window paper, whether it is the Red Turban Army or Zhang Shicheng's rebel army, they are all closer because of the intimate relationship between the two. Zhang Shicheng and Han Yu are also happy to see it, and they also vigorously promote the relationship between the two. Until now, the two armies are as close as brother armies. And Zhang Ying often went to Zhaozhou City to find Zhu Chuba. The reason why the two of them came to Fan Yang one step ahead of others was also decided by Zhang Shicheng and Han Yu after discussion, so that these two guys who have always refused to admit their emotions can confirm their relationship with each other as soon as possible.
Although the two are now close enough to hold each other's hands, there is a difference between men and women after all. Before Zhu Chuba entered the door, he still had to ask Zhang Ying's opinion.
"Brother Zhu? Come on in. β
With permission, Zhu Chuba pushed the door and entered.
Zhang Ying had just finished taking a shower and was sitting in front of the mirror wrapped in a thin bathrobe, wiping her hair that was still dripping with a hand towel. The bathrobe is thin and sticks to Zhang Ying's still dripping body, revealing the wonderful curves.
Zhu Chuba stood at the door and was stunned, then shook his head helplessly, walked to the side of the bed, picked up the sheets and wrapped Zhang Ying's body, frowned at Zhang Ying and blamed: "How many times have I told you, after taking a bath, you have to wrap yourself tightly and see people again." Don't you know how attractive your figure is? Even though I'm familiar with you, my daughter's family has to know how to protect herself. β
Zhang Ying twisted her body uncomfortably and pursed her lips, "It's not the first time I've seen you, I don't care, you're squirming here like a big old lady." β
Indeed, Zhang Ying's appearance is not the first time Zhu Chuba has seen it. Every time like this, Zhu Chuba would reprimand Zhang Ying to get dressed, but every time Zhang Ying was so unhappy.
Facing Zhang Ying's appearance, Zhu Chuba felt a big headache, and held his forehead with one hand, "You always look like this, how will you marry in the future." β
Zhang Ying stopped what she was doing, looked at Zhu Chuba in a daze, and then blurted out like a ghost, "What if I say that you won't marry in this life?" β
"Huh?!"
Zhu Chuba stayed in place for an instant, not knowing how to move. Zhang Ying was still staring at Zhu Chuba with a pair of phoenix eyes, and the dazzling light in his eyes made Zhu Chuba dare not look directly, and he unconsciously looked away.
Zhang Ying's eyes darkened, she turned her head to look at the bronze mirror, and the action of wiping her hair in her hand continued, and she smiled slightly, "Just kidding." This girl was born so beautiful, are you still afraid that she won't be able to get married? Besides, it's really impossible to get married, it's okay not to marry, this girl has all her skills, and she is afraid that she won't be able to support herself? β
Zhu Chuba secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but deep down he felt a sincere sense of disappointment.
With a dry laugh, Zhu Chuba changed the topic, "By the way, what do you have to do before me and Lu Hanqing today?" β
Zhang Ying's hair was almost wiped away, she got up and put the handkerchief back in its place, "Don't forget, the two of us still represent two different camps." β
"Huh? So what? β
Zhang Ying walked up to Zhu Chuba and grinned, "So, I can't weaken my performance in front of a gate valve family like the Lu family, so that he can underestimate my brother's ability." β
Zhu Chuba came back to his senses. Indeed, Zhang Shicheng, who was supported by the Shen family, needed the support of these gate valve families more than him. If it was said that he made this appointment to learn in order not to let Lu Hanqing look down on his master Li Xunlong, then Zhang Ying should of course fight for a chance to learn in order for Lu to see her ability.
Zhu Chuba sighed, no longer entangled in this issue, and began to chat: "Anyway, when we set off, your brother and eldest brother said that they would arrive later, and I don't know when we will be able to reach Fanyang." β
Zhang Ying still felt uncomfortable wrapped in a sheet, so she took off the sheet on her body back on the bed, revealing her unobstructed body outlined by a light bathrobe, sat down and poured a cup of tea, "Who knows?" It's almost there in two days. β
Zhu Chuba nodded, took Zhang Ying poured a cup of tea for him, and just wanted to say something, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Ying saw Zhu Chuba's suddenly changed eyes and asked.
Zhu Chuba got up abruptly and walked to the door, his ear on the door and listened carefully to the movement outside the door.
"There's movement outside."
Lu's West Wing is full of guest rooms, and Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying are the first guests to live in the West Chamber, so there are only two guests in this huge West Chamber. It was getting late, and unless the guests had orders, it was impossible for the people in the West Chambers to move around at will. Zhang Ying and Zhu Chuba were in the same room at this time, but there was an abnormal sound outside the door.
"Get dressed, take your soft sword, stay here and don't move, I'll go out and have a look." Zhu Chuba said to Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying had already put on her coat as quickly as she could, with a soft sword in her hand.
"You don't have a weapon, so let me be with you." Zhang Ying said.
Zhu Chuba hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
The two gently pushed the door open and walked out of the room sideways.
The cold moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard outside the door, and Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying jumped onto a big tree in the courtyard. As far as the eye could see, I saw several men in night clothes gathering together to discuss something. After a while, they all left to the east.
The night was dark and windy, and in the uninhabited West Wing guest room, several nocturnal men were sneakily discussing something. Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying glanced at each other in the moonlight and decided to follow to see clearly.
