Chapter 22: Confrontation (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The arrival of the two did not cause much repercussions. Everyone just looked back and continued to drink and chat. However, in the crowd, Xiao Zhiyuan, who seemed a little different, saw Lu Heng come in, arched his fist at Lu Heng, nodded and smiled politely.
Lu Heng glanced at Xiao Zhiyuan in some surprise, as if he had no intersection with him before, let alone friendship.
But it's always good to have the kindness of others, especially in this environment of ignorance and hostility. Such kindness is even more precious.
Lu Heng nodded at him, smiled and returned the salute, and then accompanied Liu Qingqing to step forward.
"Daddy, my daughter wishes you happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than green pine!" Liu Qingqing, who stepped forward, bowed in the puzzled eyes of everyone, and said hello to the head of the Liu family in front of him with a respectful expression.
According to the custom, when children come to pay New Year's greetings, parents will be very relieved and happy. Even if you don't give a tip, you should send a few blessings. But the head of the Liu family didn't mean anything like that.
He just glanced at Liu Qingqing lightly, and then said casually: "Oh, second girl!" β
In this way, it can be regarded as a promise.
This approach made the guests here a little incomprehensible. Look at this woman's dress, her hair is tied up, as if she is married to a wife. It is said that when a renunciated daughter returns to visit her parents, the reception at her parents' home should be very grand. Even if the relationship between the two parties is not good, it should not be like this, just oh, and nothing else.
"In the end, it's a businessman, and I don't even know the most basic etiquette!" Some of the students present are students invited by the Liu family at a high price. Originally, it was a faΓ§ade, but at this time, these students also showed disdain for the head of the Liu family.
Among this group of students, Xiao Zhiyuan took a sip of wine and looked at Lu Heng, who was standing there with interest, looking a little bored. It seems that he wants to see how Lu Heng will react.
It's just that what disappointed him was that Lu Heng, as the head of the Lu family, was supposed to be the one who stood up for this woman, but at this time, he stood aside like a person who had nothing to do. watched his sister-in-law being snubbed, and smiled, as if watching a play.
Alas, in the end, it is rotten. Even if there is an occasional flash of inspiration and making such a wonderful pair, it is only a flash of inspiration. People, after all, are still the same people.
Actually, Xiao Zhiyuan had never heard the name Lu Heng before.
It's just that recently, I heard that there was a scholar who was willing to fall into the account office. This kind of disgrace to the face of the scholar is very hot in this part of the Qinhuai River. Almost all the scholars secretly expressed disdain for this student.
Xiao Zhiyuan inadvertently heard this name.
It's just that he was a little surprised that Lu Heng, an unknown name, could be hyped up to such an extent.
When I heard that the hardest people who shouted were the descendants of the Liu family and the Yin family of Su Mansion.
Xiao Zhiyuan, who knew that the Su family and the Lu family had a marriage contract, suddenly realized.
It turns out that it is like this.
Some time ago, in the calligraphy and painting shop, it was the first time he saw this guy from the center of rumors. However, Lu Heng's first impression he gave was not like the rumors from the outside world, he was a stupid nerd.
This person always has a harmless smile on his face, and he seems to be kind. However, the couplets written at random made Su Wenzheng, including himself, impressed, and even worshipped.
How can such a character be a nerd in the mouth of the people of Su Fu?
However, I will see you today. Xiao Zhiyuan felt a little disappointed in his heart.
The head of the Liu family snorted, which could be regarded as after Liu Qingqing's greetings. put on a smiling face, turned around, and started a homely conversation with Su Fuyin in the main seat.
Today, Su Fu Yin can come to the Liu family, which can be regarded as giving him a great face. Such an honor is a great honor for the Liu family.
The head of the Liu family after learning the news that Lord Su was coming. He distributed money widely and invited famous talents in Jiangning to come to Liufu as guests. I want to create a scholarly atmosphere, raise the image of the Liu family, and have a light on my face.
However, just like the practice of arranging flowers on dead trees outside, some tigers are not anti-dogs. It stinks of copper.
"Text, she's the woman you mentioned some time ago?" Unexpectedly, Su Fu Yin didn't want to hear the compliments in Liu Wenyi's mouth too much, and he didn't want to get too close to the head of the Liu family. The body was slightly sideways, staring at the sad woman in front of him with burning eyes, touching his beard and saying to the eldest son Su Zhengwen beside him.
"Father is wise, this is the woman!" Hearing his father talk about this woman, Su Zhengwen, who knew his father's intentions, was overjoyed, hurriedly stood up, bowed down and replied with his fists clenched.
Su Fu Yin looked at Liu Qingqing, whose face was already slightly cold, frowned, touched his beard, shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a woman." But it's okay to be a concubine! β
"Thank you, Father!" Su Zhengwen was ecstatic in his heart, and he came with this idea today. I didn't expect my father to be really sensible and grasp the opportunity so accurately. Now is the best opportunity to bring it up.
If this woman does not comply, then her reputation will also be ruined. The students here are all talented people. Although he is good at learning, his character is not very good. It is rumored that the romance is their favorite. I believe that after today, this story of Liu Qingqing and his own Fengyue will spread all over Jiangning City. Faced with the overwhelming gossip, Su Wenzheng didn't believe that this woman could still refuse him.
Moreover, the head of the Liu family is still there. This request is made in contrast to the position of a father. The head of the Liu family has nothing to say, and he will definitely do his best to promote it.
Su Fuyin turned his head, looked at the head of the Liu family with a smile, touched his beard and said with a smile: "I don't know, what does Brother Liu think?" β
The head of the Liu family was stunned for a moment, then his face was ecstatic, and he hurriedly nodded and agreed: "It is the honor of my Liu family that adults look down on little girls!" β
After slapping the fart hard, the head of the Liu family turned his head and said to Liu Qingqing with a serious face: "Second girl, haven't you thanked Lord Fu Yin?" β
The students present expressed their resentment towards the head of the Liu family and Su Fuyin in their hearts. However, no one dared to come forward. After all, Su Fu Yin was still sitting on it. The students only expressed their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
To the surprise of everyone present, Liu Qingqing, a weak woman, was not as helpless as they imagined. On the contrary, it was a frost on his face.
There was a resolute expression in her beautiful eyes, and she bravely raised her head and looked at his father: "Father, my daughter's surname is now Lu!" β
As soon as the words were spoken, there was silence in the huge living room. Everyone looked at this woman in shock, as well as the head of the Liu family with an incredulous face.
Liu Qingqing didn't know how determined she was to say this sentence, and when she said this sentence, she already showed that she wanted to break off relations with the Liu family.
This is too difficult for a weak woman!
However, this sentence also diverted everyone's attention from himself.
The face of the head of the Liu family changed, and his face turned pale with anger. With a snap, a row of chairs: "Rebel, you dare to disobey my orders?" β
However, Liu Qingqing's face was full of determination. bravely stared at his father. In her tearful eyes, the determined look showed how firm her mind was at this time.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to the scholar with a smile on his face and an indifferent look in his eyes. Including the head of the Liu family who was trembling with anger.
The eyes of all the guests were on Lu Heng, but Lu Heng was...... was staring at Su Fu Yin on the main seat.
is still indifferent, and there is still a slight smile on his face. But everyone felt the difference in the atmosphere.
