The four of them rode their horses to the Xiangxiang Pavilion, and after handing over the horses to the small man at the door, several people walked into the private room with a smile and a smile. I saw that Red Sleeves and a few beauties had been waiting for a long time.

The four of them sat down in different places and began to push the cups and change the lamps.

"Red-sleeved girl, Brother Xu has been in love with you for a long time, I don't know how much the girl's ransom money is?" Ma Xinzhao, who was holding a wine glass, asked about the redemption money.

I saw the red-sleeved girl smile, lowered her brows and said, "I don't know how many people have asked about concubines like this, asking for two thousand eight hundred taels of silver."

Hearing such a number, several people present showed surprise. These silver taels are not a lot for their own family, but their own parents will definitely not agree to spend money to redeem themselves.

Red Sleeves seemed to have anticipated this scene, and said openly: "You sons and brothers speak better than the other, and in the end, there are not many people who are willing to redeem themselves." Only the Lu family is willing to spend money to ransom us poor little women. ”

These words shifted the focus of the audience to Lu Zhan. Gongsun Xiu opened his mouth and quipped: "It seems that the Lu Gongzi we only met today is a generous and unusual character." A few brothers, you said yes or no. ”

Several eyes looked at Lu Zhan in unison, and Lu Zhan was confused. When did he redeem himself for others, could it be his cousin Lu Tingchen?

Seeing Lu Zhan, who was misunderstood, Red Sleeves opened his mouth and explained: "I also heard from a sister that the current head of the Lu family, that is, the second uncle of Lu Gongzi, spent more than 3,000 taels of silver to ransom a sister a few years ago, but we were envious."

Hearing this, Lu Zhan muttered in his heart, his second uncle did not continue after the death of his second aunt, and he had never heard of any concubines.

After Lu Zhan expressed the doubts in his heart, Gongsun Xiu touched his chin and said, "Your second uncle may be afraid of gossip from others, so it is very likely that he secretly bought a mansion and settled it."

Xu Hao was greatly inspired when he heard this, slapped the table and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it." When I save enough money, I can also learn Uncle Lu's method. ”

"Then the concubine is waiting for Xu Gongzi to redeem me." The red sleeves smiled, and his words seemed to be full of anticipation.

"I don't agree!" As soon as he finished speaking, the door slowly opened, and a young man in white walked in.

Ma Xinzhao saw that this person came in without permission and shouted loudly that he disagreed, which immediately angered Ma Xinzhao. There is a feeling of beating people out of the private room if you don't agree with each other.

With his right hand, he held a folding fan to half-cover his face, and with his left hand, he hugged the red sleeve into his arms. Lu Zhan looked at Xu Hao, who was sitting on the side, and his face was wonderful. Without waiting for the few people present to get up and make any reaction, they saw Zhang Wangdian let go of the beautiful woman in his arms, and looked at Lu Zhan with straight eyes.

I saw that Zhang Wangdian smiled slyly and said: "But as the saying goes, a gentleman does not take the favor of others." Since Brother Xu loves it so much, Zhang is willing to let it. ”

"You're a funny man, first you disagree, and then you give in. I don't know which one Zhang Gongzi is singing. Gongsun Xiu, who was sitting on the futon, touched his beard and said.

"I don't want to hide it from a few sons, I just want to see what Xu Gongzi thinks of the red-sleeved girl, and whether he will be a merry boy who deceives the little girl. Today, I swept your Yaxing, in order to make amends to you, today's consumption is paid by me Zhang. ”

This Zhang Wangdian made Lu Zhan more and more unable to see through, how could a child from a side branch be so rich. This Zhang Wangdian is like those high-scoring suspense movies, the more mysterious and attractive it is.

Everyone saw that Zhang Wangdian had paid for today's consumption, so Xu Hao got up and asked Zhang Wangdian to sit down as well. Zhang Wangdian asked someone to open a few jars of drunken flower yin purchased from Chudi, and he had the momentum of not getting drunk and returning to everyone, and after a few words, everyone chatted hotly.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone got up and prepared to leave. Xu Hao, Ma Xinzhao and Gongsun Xiu also joined the army. But just like Xiao Shi said, at night, these children of the family all go back to their own homes, where will they live in the barracks like Lu Zhan.

The movie "The Godfather" tells Lu Zhan that friendship can build a solid line of defense. A young man from a simple, poor background like Xiaoshi is the easiest to be wooed. Emotions and interests are both means to win over others, and Lu Zhan at this stage does not have the conditions for his own interests, and can only form his own power by cultivating feelings.

After packing a few good-looking pastries, after bidding farewell to the three of them at the door of Xunxiang Pavilion, he stretched his waist and carried the food box to ride back to the Northern Army barracks.

"Lu Gongzi is going back to the Northern Army barracks, you and I are just on the way, why not go together?" Zhang Wangdian still shook the folding fan in his hand, as if he wanted to fan away the heat of early summer.

"The last time I came out with Zhang Gongzi, I was assassinated. But I'm not afraid to do it again. Lu Zhan smiled and urged the horse to walk forward slowly.

The two rode side by side on the silent street, looking at the stars in the sky and asking Lu Zhan: "Brother Lu is almost at the age of getting married, right?" Is there a marriage arrangement at home? Do you have a favorite daughter of a family? “

Lu Zhan smiled helplessly, thinking that he was an art student in the new era, and this kind of arranged marriage completely regarded women as commodities. How could Lu Zhan, who has been educated in art, accept such a marriage. Once a professional teacher pulled an old film "Glass Bottle" in the class, what line is there in it: When you are born, you are only half, and you walk in the world in order to find the other half. Some people are lucky and find it quickly. And some people have to look for a lifetime.

This kind of love is what Lu Zhan wants, he collected his thoughts for a while, paused and said: "Not yet, the person I want to marry must be what I like, even if she is an ordinary family, I will marry her."

Zhang Wangdian, who was riding on horseback, lowered his head looking at the sky, and continued in a low voice: "How great it would be if a woman could be like Lu Gongzi and be free to choose the object of marriage!"

"Women should marry the person they want to marry, marry freely, and there should be equality between men and women, women can hold up half the sky." Lu Zhan said lightly on the horse.

"Lu Gongzi really drank too much, and he actually said such nonsense about the equality of men and women." Zhang Wangdian lowered his head and sighed silently.

Lu Zhan, who is considered to be talking nonsense after drinking, is very sober, and this alcohol concentration in ancient times has not numbed his nerves. After all, Lu Zhan is a young man in the new era, and the ideas of freedom and equality have long been engraved in his bones. Wu Zetian, who is the emperor, and Qin Liangyu, a heroine who is included in the legend, and Qiu Jin, a revolutionary aspirant. These are characters that most men can't compare.

Lu Zhan spoke again: "I didn't drink too much, people should be born equal, regardless of their nobility and gender. You see that mayflies are very small, and the big people sitting on the high hall will not pay attention to them at all, but when thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of mayflies gather, even the Son of Heaven will be afraid. The power of the masses of the people is great. ”

Lu Zhan's voice became higher and higher, as if he was attacking feudal society. Zhang Wangdian suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Lu Zhan's mouth, and said in a low voice: "If you say these words, you will be killed, even if it is your second uncle, Lu Ji, the head of the Lu family, will not be able to protect you."

Lu Zhan turned his head to look at Zhang Wangdian, who was covering his mouth, and Zhang Wangdian, who realized something, suddenly withdrew his hand, and his face became rosy.

Why is this guy so shy, it's far from the seemingly romantic style before. Lu Zhan didn't bother to complain about this buddy.

"I don't know why I'm telling you this tonight, maybe it's because I think of you as a brother." Lu Zhan touched his head and pretended to drink too much.

Seeing that they had reached the intersection, after the two separated, Lu Zhan urged the horses under him to speed up. Lu Zhan silently thought in his heart: Little stone, I overplayed today. I don't know if you slept or not, but if you do, the pastry won't taste good the next day.

Lu Zhan tiptoed open the door of his room, startled by the small stone sitting on the bed.

"People are scary and will be scared to death, why don't you light up at night?"

"The lamp oil is too expensive to afford, so I have to sit on the bed and wait for my son."

A sentence that was too expensive instantly made Lu Zhan's mood down, and he found that Lu Zhan's expression was a little low by the faint starlight of the small stone at night, and before the little stone opened his mouth to ask Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan said first: "These ruyi cakes, tangram white rabbits, wine-flavored crispy cheese." Look at what I still bring, peach blossom stuff. It's one of the few good wines. ”

The small stone on the side looked a little flattered, "Childe, I don't dare to eat these precious pastries with you." ”

Lu Zhan on the side shook his head and said, "As the so-called good brothers have been soldiers together and have studied together. We are all in the same room, what dare not. ”

The two of them in the military tent had another nonsense meal, and after Xiaoshi burped, he touched his belly and yawned and fell asleep on the bed.

Compared with the northern army camp of the Yulin Army, which only has few lights, the Zhang family's mansion can be described as brightly lit.

"You little girl, you went out to play until so late and didn't come home, do you know how worried your father was when he was waiting for you in the house. It's like a boy, what can I do if I get married in the future. The Zhang family advocated that they were far from angry and worried.

"Who I marry in the future depends on whether I am willing or not, marriage is free, and women can hold up half the sky." With that, Zhang Yu made a grimace at her father, Zhang Yuan.

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. How can children be allowed to call the shots? Lately you have been experiencing a growing lack of discipline. For the sake of the Father, I will not kill you today. As he spoke, he raised his hands and made a gesture of wanting to hit someone.

Zhang Yu ran out of the room sensitively, like an agile kitten. As he ran, he said, "Daddy, the child is sleepy and goes to bed first."

The old father who stayed where he was was sighed for a long time, and said silently in his heart: "The daughter I have raised for so many years seems to have met someone she likes, which stinky boy is it?"
