Chapter 37: Young Lu Chong
A group of young men with bows and swords, fresh clothes and angry horses roared past the south gate of Anlu, the county town of Jiangxia.
The soldiers of the city defense looked up at them curiously, and a small colonel guarding the city nodded and stepped forward: "Young Master Wang." β
"Liu Gongzi ......"
"Sun Gongzi."
But the boys paid no attention to these watchdog-like county guards, and each laughed and went into the city, and went out into the street, saying goodbye to each other and preparing to go home.
At this time, the most gorgeously dressed young man suddenly looked at the young man who seemed to stand out from the crowd in a brown linen suit, and began to wonder: "I heard that Ah Chong's sister is going to marry Ah Lang of the Assassin Family?" But is that really the case? β
What is the relationship between Liu Yu and Ah Chong, everyone knows best. Hearing him say this, the laughing teenagers were silent, they looked at the young man called "Ah Chong", this young man is not very old, about eleven or twelve years old, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, full of heroism, hearing Liu Yu mention this matter, Ah Chong frowned: "Liu Xi, my sister will never marry Shi Meng." β
"Why?"
"That's it, I think it's very good that your sister can marry Shi Gongzi!"
Ah Chong waved his horsewhip and said viciously: "Shi's son deceived my family like this!" My sister An can marry Shi Meng again! If you want to mention this matter again, don't blame me for being rude! Ah Chong said sharply.
When the teenagers saw that he was really angry, they didn't dare to say anything. So the crowd dispersed.
Ah Chong rode the pony he had won back by fighting, and stared blankly at the empty street.
His name is Lu Chong, and his father's name is Lu Xian, who was once the county commander and is now a sick man. And his dearest sister is called Lu Yun. Now I'm getting married.
He was not angry, in his opinion, neither Shi Meng nor the Shunyang Zheng family who had come to the door to propose marriage before was worthy of his sister's dignity.
Otherwise, how could my father have been sighing, sad, and even crying all the time!
I really don't know what Sister thinks, why did she marry Zheng Sheng?
"Chong'er, if my sister wants to marry him, there is naturally a reason to marry him, you are still young and don't understand. You believe that your sister's vision is. This is the explanation he gave to Lu Yun who had been asking after he learned that his sister was going to marry Zheng's son.
Lu Chong really didn't understand the reason why she wanted to get married. But he also had his own plans, Lu Chong decided to wait for that kid to go to Jiangxia or he and his sister went to Shunyang, and find him to fight. If it's okay with a little force, if he really doesn't have any martial arts, Lu Chong must mess up this marriage!
That's what he intended.
However, things did change. But it was his family's enemy, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Shi Chonglai, who wanted to ask for his youngest son to marry his sister!
He also knew what Shi Meng wasβthey had seen it in Jiangling and Xiangyang in the early years.
His sister will never marry such a person! What's more, it's the enemy Shi Chongjia!
It's far inferior to Zheng Sheng!
If Zheng Sheng knew that his future brother-in-law Lu Chong would evaluate him and Shi Meng like this, he wouldn't know if he would be happy? Still can't laugh or cry?
Lu Chong led the horse and walked home slowly.
He tied the reins to the horse's stake, picked up the prey he had caught today, two pheasants and a hare, and went into the kitchen.
Lu Yun is lighting a fire and cooking.
Hearing the movement behind, Lu Yun didn't look back and knew that it was him who came in: "Chong'er is back?" What did you hunt today? β
"Pheasants and hares." Lu Chong said in a sullen voice.
Lu Yun glanced back at him: "What's wrong?" Who did you quarrel with out there again? Didn't fight, did you? Are there any injuries? β
"Nope. I didn't fight with anyone. Lu Chong sat beside her and added firewood to her.
Lu Yun was busy cooking, and Lu Chong silently added to the fire.
"Sister, do you have to get married?"
"Women always have to get married. It's not a good daughter who can't get married. β
Lu Ran was heroic: "No! Which one dare me to laugh at you? I'll beat him! Sister, don't you want to get married, okay? β
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't say stupid things Chong'er. β
Lu Chonghao was angry, he said in frustration: "Then don't marry Shi Meng, that guy is useless at all." As for, Zheng Sheng? Hum! β
"What are you going to do?" Hearing his voice and knowing his meaning, Lu Yun was very clear about his younger brother's temperament.
Lu Chong snorted and didn't answer.
Lu Yun sighed and continued to cook.
"Sister, if it weren't for this dilemma at home, you wouldn't have married Shunyang! That Zheng Sheng is not your wishful Langjun, right? Lu Yan suddenly spoke.
Lu Yun was stunned, she looked at Lu Chong in surprise, obviously she didn't expect her brother to say this.
Thinking of those words, Lu Yun fell into deep thought. Is Zheng Sheng not worthy of her? Oh, yes! In Luoyang, there are many children of the family who are much higher than the lintel of the Zheng family who have paid homage to her.
But when the contradiction between her family and Shi Chong was superficial, those people were afraid to avoid her.
If it weren't for Shi Chong's pressing on the Zheng family, and Zheng Sheng happened to meet her, would Zheng Sheng also be in a hurry to avoid her?
She didn't know.
She also didn't know what her marriage would be like.
She only knew that her original intention was to give the two families who were at stake, a chance to report to the group to keep warm.
What will happen after this crisis has passed? She can't tell!
Cook a meal. Lu Yun went to see her father. His complexion improved a lot.
After eating, Biyu, who had decocted the medicine, gave the medicine to Lu Yun, and Lu Yun served to watch his father finish drinking the medicine.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Biyu went back and forth, and whispered, "It's Master Han." β
"Then why don't you come in?" Lu Xiandao.
Han Jin entered the door and smiled bitterly at everyone: "Now your house is really a dangerous place!" β
Lu Xian frowned: "They are so presumptuous? β
"Don't mention it!" Han Jin waved his hand, "I came today to ask, what is Lu Gong's plan?" The history of the stone thorn can't drag on for long. β
The originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly became tense, Lu Yun and Biyu frowned, Lu Chong clenched his fists, and the head of the family, Lu Xian, could only shake his head and said, "The old man has nothing to do." β
Han Jin couldn't help but sigh: "The Zheng family found the problem, but it was Zheng Shengshu's brother Zheng Meng who had already colluded with Shi Chong, and this secret matter was heard by Zheng Meng from the Zheng family's backyard. β
"Hey! So that's the case, I don't know what the Zheng family's plans are? Lu Xian sighed.
"Again, there is nothing to be done. And ......" Han Jin hesitated for a moment and spat out the truth to Lu Xian: "The Zheng family seems to have broken Shi Chong's blockade of their road. β
"What? How so? Lu Xian was surprised: "In this way, it is not imperative for the Zheng family to do this family business?" In this case, it's a big deal for my family to go back to Wu County! β
"Zheng will not give up. But the problem is that the Zheng family is worried that Zheng Sheng will continue to propose to the Lu family, which will anger Shi Chong even more. They don't know how to do it now. β
The crowd was silent, and the atmosphere was even more depressing.
"Father, sister, Uncle Han. I have an idea. At this time, Lu Ran opened his mouth out of place.
He completely ignored his father's dissatisfied expression and his sister's worried eyes: "Let them compare with each other, fair and just competition!" If Zheng Sheng can't even win Shi Meng, how can he marry my sister? β
