Chapter 7 The Rival in Love Is Coming

In the face of Lu Yu's almost tricky promise, Mu Hanxiang didn't say anything other than a faint sigh.

In Mu Hanxiang's opinion, as a concubine whose status is only a little higher than that of a maid, she can't open her mouth and directly collide with her husband, if she really does that, it is unreasonable.

Besides, although his father-in-law promised him that he would make himself Lu Yu's wife in the future, after all, that is a matter of the future, and he is not the current one, so he can't break the rules.

Lu Yu, who had been staring at Mu Hanxiang from the corner of his eye, bent the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled secretly after noticing her dull, cute, and thoughtful shaking eyes.

Lu Yu, who has lived for two lifetimes, can easily guess her tangled mind when facing Mu Hanxiang, a slim beautiful girl who is only fifteen years old this year, who is standing quietly on her left.

In Lu Yu's opinion, the reason why Mu Hanxiang was willing to marry her as a concubine was purely to repay her kindness, and there was no factor of love involved in it at all, it was a loveless marriage.

However, Lu Yu also knows that after living with her for two years, perhaps, her daughter-in-law Mu Hanxiang has already had feelings for herself, but it is definitely not love, it is family affection, it is estimated to be the love of sister and brother, she must treat herself as a little brother, after all, her current age is a full three years younger than her.

After struggling for half a minute, and sighing softly for the second time, Mu Hanxiang turned to face Lu Yu head-on, and whispered to Lu Yu: "Father has sent someone to ask Xianggong to go to the eldest brother's yard for lunch at noon......"

"I know, Yaqin just came over and said about it," Lu Yu smiled kindly at the little daughter-in-law in front of him, who was three years older than him, but a whole head shorter than himself, and then, he turned his head to look at the carved wooden window on the south side of the wing, turned back and continued to say to Mu Hanxiang: "It's still early, at least one hour before noon, don't worry, I'll rest for a while, hey, the ancients are really right, spring sleepy autumn and summer nap, this autumn, people are really easy to get sleepy, ha......"

As he spoke, Lu Yu opened his big mouth and yawned, leaking out a mouthful of neat, snow-white teeth.

After yawning, Lu Yu, whose eyes were full of tears, sat back on the edge of the bed again, ready to sleep for a while.

"Xianggong, wait first......" raised his hand to stop Lu Yu from "going to bed", and gently took a sip of his ruddy cherry, Mu Hanxiang habitually whispered to Lu Yu: "Don't sleep first, Brother Zhou Fang Zhou is here, he is catching up with his father now, I think, he may come to you in a while, you are ready to prepare......"

As soon as he heard his daughter-in-law say that Zhou Fang was coming, Lu Yu's face changed instantly, becoming a little "green", and even, with a hint of displeasure at the corners of his mouth, he twitched unnaturally to both sides of his cheeks.

Zhou Fang is the only son of Lu Yu's father Lu Longzhi's friend and predecessor Zhou Yanchen, the governor of Guozhou, who is twenty-seven years old this year, one year older than Lu Yu's eldest brother, the twenty-six-year-old Lu Wen.

Zhou Fang, like Lu Yu's fourth brother Lu Ning, is the kind of prodigy in reading, and he is even more divine, he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of six, Juren at the age of sixteen, and Jinshi at the age of seventeen.

Although Zhou Fang is not the kind of ultimate fierce man who gets the first place in every exam, he can be admitted to the Jinshi at the age of less than twenty, and he can be regarded as a rare god in the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhou Fang's god is not only reflected in his ability to advance in the imperial examination, but also in his ability to be promoted.

Because he was too young, Zhou Fang, who was admitted to Jinshi at the age of eighteen, did not get the official position from the seventh rank according to the convention, but was appointed as the national prince supervisor of the eighth grade to practice.

However, in less than five years, he was impressive again, because of his political achievements, in five years, he was promoted from the eighth grade of the country's son to the sixth rank of the living lang, his official position, are about to catch up with his father Zhou Yanchen, you know, his father has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, and Zhou Fang has only been an official for five years.

The promotion range and efficiency of his official position are comparable to the promotion process of ordinary officials for decades, and it is simply a myth of officialdom.

Although Zhou Fang's personal ability is very strong, he is quite good at being an official, and his official reputation is also quite good, but the general kind of gifted people are often paranoid people, and Zhou Fang's personality is also like this, there is a big problem, and the main problem is that his character is a little impatient and irritable, and he is very direct and upright, and does not care about the feelings of others.

As the saying goes: if it is rigid, it is easy to break. Because of Zhou Fang's character of not knowing how to think from many angles, he is easy to offend people in terms of life and work, although he relied on the reputation of a prodigy, and his early promotion in the officialdom was quite smooth, but when Zhou Fang was old, the aura of the prodigy was exhausted, and he couldn't rise in the case of being stumbled.

As a result, after the age of twenty-two, Zhou Fang has almost never been promoted again, and has always been in the official position of the sixth grade, going back and forth horizontally, but he can't get to the fifth grade.

Later, Zhou released his father Zhou Yanchen, because of the relationship between the curtain and the upright, offended Cai Jing, the top traitor of the dynasty, so it was even more difficult for Zhou to get mixed up in the court.

So, Zhou Fang, who had a paranoid personality, simply resigned and went home to study as an otaku.

Later, somehow, one day, Zhou gave up Wu Congwen, and he began to wander around the streets with a big sword on his back, and often went to various dart bureaus to find dart masters to "learn martial arts".

If it weren't for the fact that his father was Zhou Yanchen and Zhou Zhizhou, and he was a good official and a clean official, those dart masters who were very impatient by Zhou Fang would have cut Zhou Fang into a stick a long time ago.

In addition to his colleagues in the officialdom and the folk dart masters, Lu Yu did not want to see Zhou Fang, not because of his upright character, nor because he was obsessed with martial arts, but because Zhou Fang was Lu Yu's rival in reality.

Back then, after Zhou Fang resigned and returned to his hometown to be an otaku, he lived in his father Zhou Yanchen's house, and at that time, Mu Hanxiang also lived in Zhou Yanchen's house.

For the era when a thirteen or fourteen-year-old woman like Da Song gave birth to a child, Mu Hanxiang, who was just ten years old at the time, also reached the age of the beginning of love.

At that time, she suddenly saw a romantic and talented man who was in his prime, civil and military all-rounder, how could she not be moved, so Mu Hanxiang at that time had a crush on her master's Zhou Fang.

However, at that time, Zhou Fang should have no feelings for Mu Hanxiang, after all, at that time, Zhou Fang was already a person in his twenties, who had already married a wife and had children, a husband and a father, even if he was loving, he would not fall in love with a yellow-haired girl who was just ten years old.

It is estimated that Zhou Fang at that time only regarded Mu Hanxiang as a sister, after all, his father Zhou Yanchen regarded Mu Hanxiang as a daughter.

Besides, even if Zhou Fang was perverted enough at that time and was interested in the ten-year-old Mu Hanxiang, the objective conditions did not allow it, because Zhou Fang's wife was a jealous woman, and she was the youngest daughter of the secretary and supervisor of the fourth rank of the dynasty, she would never allow Zhou Fang to accept the daughter of the imperial court prisoner as a concubine, if Zhou Fang did that, then ......

Just when Lu Yu was thinking about whether to take his daughter-in-law out to hide and make the green on his head not so "dazzling", a hearty laugh suddenly came from the direction of the carved wooden window......
