Chapter 11: Marriage
Lin Fan didn't dare to step forward, and said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Lu, since I was a child, you can basically see me every day, what else is there to see!"
Lu Wenzhao laughed heartily and said, "You kid is still embarrassed, haha!"
"What's the matter, you kid is so powerful now, this is the young patriarch, and now even Uncle Lu can't look at you?" Lin Fan, who said this, hurriedly said that he didn't dare to dare, and he was even more cramped and uneasy.
"I said, big brother, don't make fun of Fan'er! How did he get this young patriarch, others don't know, don't you know? ”
"I never thought that for the sake of this kid now, I would now use the trick of calculation and scheming that I disdained before! My reputation is completely ruined in the hands of this kid! Lin Ruxian laughed at himself helplessly.
Lu Wenzhao said: "Ruxian, you are here again." There is no distinction between good and evil, right and wrong, as long as you stick to your heart, why should you be restrained? ”
"Big brother doesn't have to comfort me, since I have decided to enter this rolling red dust, I have already been prepared. Besides, this is actually not a conspiracy, as long as you are a discerning person, you can see it at a glance. In the future, when you reach the officialdom, if you only have this level, I am afraid that you will really die without a place to be buried. In the past, I didn't have to use power, but I couldn't, but I really didn't want to! ”
"I originally thought that relying on the words of the sages and the laws of the court would be enough to stabilize the country. But later it turned out that I was wrong, and I didn't want to go along with the world, so I could only resign and return to my hometown, not asking about the world; Just trying to hide from a clean! But now the world situation has long been unbearable for you and me! I'm afraid I have to use some extraordinary means! Regarding this matter, Lin Ruxian is very open-minded.
"Well, it's useless for others to talk about these things, only you can see it yourself!" Lu Wenzhao comforted him.
After saying this, Lu Wenzhao changed the topic, and Zhengse said: "By the way, now that Fan'er and Qingya are so old, Fan'er is going to hold a crown ceremony, and even go to be an official!" The two of them grew up together since childhood, and they can be said to be childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses. I'm afraid that in Qingya's girl's heart, my father is not as important as her brother Lin Fan! Now before you and Fan'er leave, can you discuss their marriage? Lu Wenzhao said.
Lin Ruxian smiled, "Qingya and Fan'er have had a good relationship since childhood, we can kiss each other, I naturally have no opinion!" Haha, it just so happens that Fan'er is here, and I don't want to overstep the bounds, big brother, you should ask his opinion in person! ”
Lu Wenzhao looked at Lin Fan with a smile: "Fan'er, your father wants to see what you think and tell you Uncle Lu, what do you think?" ”
According to Lin Ruxian and Lu Wenzhao's thoughts, Lin Fan had no reason to refuse at all. The affection between the two can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. If you want to say that Lin Fan doesn't like Lu Qingya, he won't believe them if he kills them. The reason why he asked like this was more of a formality, mostly ridiculing Lin Fan, a junior.
Lin Fan didn't expect that the matter would suddenly come to his marriage, and he was directly stunned on the spot.
At this time, Lin Fan's face became not very good-looking, and his body seemed to be very heavy.
He held on to the table to stand up reluctantly, slowly walked from his seat to Lu Wenzhao and Lin Ruxian, knelt heavily on the floor, and spit out in a deep voice: "The child doesn't want to!"
As soon as the words fell, I heard an exclamation from the aisle in the back hall.
It turned out that Lu Qingya heard Lin Fan coming from her mother in the back hall, so she led her personal maid to run out of the boudoir happily, eager to meet Lin Fan, and she didn't look like a big lady at all.
Walking to the back of the living room, I happened to hear that my father was discussing his marriage with Brother Lin Fan with Uncle Lin, and she was ashamed of her blush.
Looking at her maid's playful eyes, she was about to turn around and go back under her shyness.
But she hesitated for a long time, and she didn't know why she just couldn't take a step.
Curious, the two of them snuggled up behind the door instead, pricking up their ears and secretly listening!
Until I suddenly heard Lin Fan's sentence, "The child doesn't want to!" Lu Qingya was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and the two lines of tears flowed down unconsciously, and he couldn't stop it.
It was as if she had lost her support and was slumped behind the door. Seeing this situation, the maid exclaimed in surprise: "Miss! ”
This call made Lu Qingya slowly come back to her senses, she stood up in despair, covered her mouth with both hands, and tried not to let herself cry, but tears kept flowing down her cheeks.
Lu Qingya didn't care, let the tears flow, she staggered towards the back hall.
The little maid stomped her foot helplessly, glanced at Lin Fan hatefully, and then hurriedly followed.
Naturally, what happened outside could not be hidden from a few people in the hall, but no one cared about it.
As the initiator, Lin Fan is kneeling on the ground, needless to say; Lin Ruxian was originally just unwilling to overstep his bounds and wanted Lin Fan to personally accept this marriage, but he never expected Lin Fan to do this, and he was ashamed for a while, and he had no position to care about it at this moment.
As for Lu Wenzhao, of course, he felt very sorry for his daughter in his heart, but before he figured out the ins and outs of this matter, he didn't know how to comfort Lu Qingya.
So he must figure out this matter and let Lin Fan give an explanation to his baby daughter, if Lin Fan has a legitimate reason, if not, he doesn't mind taking the risk of the two families making trouble and letting the Lin family give him an explanation.
Lin Ruxian's face was bitter, and he said ashamedly: "Big brother, I... I..."
But there was nothing to say.
Lu Wenzhao waved his hand to stop Lin Ruxian, "Ruxian, don't say it, I know what you mean!" ”
Then he tried his best to keep calm and looked at Lin Fan: "What! Why don't you agree? Don't you like Qingya? Or is it because your father is now a big official in the imperial court, and you are also a dignified person, an official of the imperial court! And my Lu family is just a mere white body, and Qingya is just the daughter of me, a businessman who is full of copper smell! You say, it's my Lu family who can't climb the high branch of your Lin family? Or is Qingya not worthy of you, a man who lifts people? ”
Lin Ruxian became more and more ashamed, and said softly, "Big brother! This! ”
"You don't say it, you let him say it himself!" Lu Wenzhao couldn't hold back any longer, slapped the table and roared.
Lin Fan knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Uncle Lu, you know me, how can I think so?" But as you know, I'm going to Huainan Province next month. ”
"I learned from Wang Hu and others that although Huainan Province is not as chaotic as Zhongyuan Road and the northern border, it is also full of bandits and the people are struggling to make a living. I am the patrol inspection department, it is my duty to suppress bandits and catch thieves, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, I am unpredictable about life and death, I don't know when I will be back! I don't know if I'll be able to come back! This marriage, the more I like her, the more I can't agree, if I and Sister Qingya set a marriage, I'm afraid of delaying her life! I, how can I bear to let Qingya's sister ......"
As Lin Fan spoke, tears fell on the floor one after another, until he couldn't cry!
Lin Ruxian sighed, and didn't know what to do.
Lu Wenzhao's expression gradually softened, and Lin Fan's gaze softened a lot. "I know what you're talking about, and I know what you're worried about! Then you have so many words in your heart, why don't you discuss it with us in advance? ”
"Alas, that's it! At this point, it won't help to punish you, so get up first! I listened to Qingya's words just now, and I don't know what this girl will be sad about, I can only tell Qingya about the situation first, how she decides, it depends on herself! After saying that, he got up and went into the back hall.
Lin Ruxian stared at Lin Fan for a long time, but turned around and walked out of the living room without saying anything, Lin Fan also followed behind, and walked outside in silence. As soon as he got out of the living room, he met Lu Shaofu, who got the news from his subordinates and hurried back from the martial arts hall.
"Bastard" As soon as he saw Lin Fan, he was immediately furious.
He rushed forward and punched Lin Fan in the stomach, knocking Lin Fan to the ground.
Then he kept punching and kicking, scolding while beating: "Lin Fan, you bastard, what do you say my sister is not worthy of you?" You don't want to marry her, do you know how much he likes you? You bastard! ”
Lu Qingya is innocent and kind, and has always been generous to others. Even some subordinates applauded loudly even though they didn't do anything, not only to cheer for their young master, but also to vent their anger for their own young lady.
Lin Fan was speechless, neither cried out for pain nor fought back.
just covered his head with his hands and let Lu Shaofu's fists and feet fall like a storm. Lin Ruxian just watched quietly from the sidelines, and did not stop it, thinking that he wanted to borrow Lu Shaofu's hand to teach Lin Fan a lesson.
"Stop, brother, stop it!" A voice with a somewhat hoarse cry but still pitiful voice came, and as soon as the words fell, Lu Qingya rushed over.
Just now, after Lu Qingya returned to the back hall in a daze and unconscious, she threw herself into her mother's arms and cried bitterly, and Mrs. Lu, who didn't know why, couldn't persuade her.
After listening to the little maid crying and explaining the reason, Mrs. Lu felt sorry for her daughter and couldn't stop crying. scolded Lin Fan, she hugged Lu Qingya distressedly, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, which was really moving.
It wasn't until Lu Wenzhao returned to the room that Mrs. Lu hurriedly asked, "Master, tell me clearly, what is going on?" Lin Fan, that conscienceless little bastard, dared to bully my baby daughter like this, I must not spare him! ”
Lu Wenzhao explained the ins and outs of the matter to Mrs. Lu and Lu Qingya.
Lu Qingya raised her head in surprise when she heard this, looking at her father, she didn't even have time to wipe her tears, and her expression of pear blossoms with rain was really cute. Eagerly said, "Great! In this way, Brother Lin Fan is not reluctant to marry me because he doesn't like me! ”
Lu Wenzhao looked at his daughter who broke into tears and laughed, and sighed helplessly in his heart: "Silly girl, what are you happy about?" I see that in your life, you have been eaten to death by that stinky boy! ”
Thinking of this, Lu Wenzhao felt even more resentful towards Lin Fan in his heart, and most fathers in the world had this idea.
Just looking at his daughter's expectant eyes, he was reluctant to make his daughter sad after all, and still said, "Well! ”
But having said that, what Lin Fan said was not unreasonable. Elegant! You must know that he is gone, but everything is really unpredictable, are you really willing to marry him? ”
Lu Qingya nodded busily: "I am willing!" I do! ”
Lu Wenzhao sighed and said with a wry smile: "You! What a silly girl! ”
"It's still right what the ancients said, women don't stay. I really have a lover, and I forgot my father! But since you have made up your mind, your father will not stop you, now Lin Fan should not have gone far at this time, you can go to him yourself! Make your mind clear to him face to face! ”
"Thank you, Dad!" Lu Qingya looked at Lu Wenzhao gratefully.
"Go ahead! Don't be sorry! Lu Wenzhao gave his daughter an encouraging look and waved his fist.
Lu Qingya snorted, did not forget to solemnly salute her parents, and then hurriedly chased out.
