Chapter 114: The Gentleman's Covenant
Hearing Yu Shaobai's praise, Wu Lingrou was naturally ashamed, hiding in his arms, enjoying the moment of being spoiled by him......
"Miss~ The master asked Yu Shaobai to go to the study to see him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" A call outside the door broke the silence, and Wu Lingrou left from Yu Shaobai's arms, "My father asked you to go, you better go quickly." ”
"Well, if you're sleepy, go to sleep, I'm out." After saying that, Yu Shaobai walked out of the room and followed Li'er towards Wu Chun's study.
met Zhao Qingxuan on the road, only to hear her ask, "Miss Wu is okay, is it?" ”
"It's no big deal, where are you going?"
"Naturally, I want to see her." She smiled and walked straight in front of Yu Shaobai, and then the smile disappeared, and she noticed that Yu Shaobai had just cried......
Yu Shaobai knew that she was familiar with Lingrou, but he didn't think much about it, and walked into the study quickly, at this time Zhou Wanli had already returned home, and Wu Chun was sitting at the table practicing the study.
He stepped forward and bowed, "The student has seen Wu Xiancheng. ”
Wu Chun just nodded and continued to move in his hands, Yu Shaobai came to the table and saw the four big characters on it, "The door is right?" His face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
"You should understand the meaning of these four words."
"Students understand."
Wu Chun put down the brush and sat back in his chair. Raising his eyes to look at the young man, "My daughter has been knowledgeable since she was a child, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also obedient to my father." But this time...... She contradicted my father three times and twice for the sake of you, and this time she threatened me with a hunger strike, and finally I compromised. But in the matter of you and Lingrou, I want to make a gentleman's appointment with you. ”
"What gentleman's covenant?"
"Let me ask you first, are you going to marry Lingrou?"
"That's right, I want her to be my wife."
"Okay, you can marry her, but I won't recognize you as a son-in-law. Yesterday, before Wang Tuiguan left Lanxi, he mentioned you to this official, and he said that you have a bright future in the future, and you will surpass this official within five years, and you will definitely surpass his official rank within eight years. It is precisely because of his words that there is a compromise from the official, but five years is too long, the official doesn't want to wait, and Lingrou can't afford to wait. I will only give you two years, and if you become an official after two years, and your official position is higher than mine, I will recognize you as a son-in-law. Can you do it? ”
Two years? Yu Shaobai did not hesitate, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you promise me and Lingrou's relationship, I will definitely not let her live a hard life, two years, I will satisfy you within two years." ”
Hearing this, Wu Chun nodded slightly, "I'm sure you won't lie to me." But I still have to wait for the first time to finish the marriage, and this kid doesn't know if he has a good place in the county. ”
"Actually...... Brother Zichu already has a girl he likes. Yu Shaobai said.
"You're talking about the woman named Lou Yueru."
"You know?"
Wu Chun smiled: "This stinky boy doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, always sneaks out, I thought he was going to the Qinglou at first, but he said to the past that he went to the mill, and later I learned that he was a girl who fancied someone." It's just that Lou Yueru's father is really ...... I guess you know what kind of character he is. Zichu paid off his debts three times and five times, thinking that I didn't know, so I kept it a secret and didn't want to say it. I have always been reluctant for him to have too much contact with Lou Yueru, but I am afraid that the girl's father will lose all the money of our Wu family. ”
Hearing this, Yu Shaobai shook his head helplessly, if it was really such a father-in-law, it would indeed be a headache, and Wu Zichu was still obedient to him, and in the long run, he would hollow out the Wu family's family foundation.
"It turns out that what you scruple about is that Daddy Lou loves to gamble, if he doesn't gamble, you have no opinion?" Yu Shaobai felt as if he had grasped the point.
"Sort of, this kid has always been reluctant to marry a wife, and I can't help him, since he likes that girl, let him marry it."
Yu Shaobai nodded slightly, if he can make Lou's father quit gambling, there will be no obstacle to Wu Zichu and Lou Yueru's affairs, they will be done, and he and Lingrou will be able to get married.
"Alright, you can get out. Be kind to my daughter, but don't treat her badly. ”
"Don't worry, Shaobai will retire." Yu Shaobai said and left the room.
Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Wu Chun smiled bitterly: "Yu Jing, Yu Jing, I didn't fight with you back then, and now your son is going to marry my daughter again, I'm afraid you will laugh at me again under Jiuquan." ”
……
Yu Shaobai walked out of the study, but he didn't walk towards Wu Lingrou's room, because there was a barbarian girl there, he was afraid that his image in Lingrou's mind would be ruined by her, so he still tried to avoid meeting the two of them.
He went straight out of Wu's house and walked towards the tofu workshop, he was actually looking for Wu Zichu, but he couldn't go back to his home now, and he couldn't go to bed, so naturally he couldn't be in the inn, so the only place he could go to was Lou Yueru's tofu workshop.
Sure enough, Yu Shaobai entered the wooden door. I saw Wu Zichu who was grinding in the courtyard, "You are really a good son-in-law." He stepped forward and quipped.
Seeing Yu Shaobai come in, Wu Zichu stopped what he was doing and sat down at the table, already sweating profusely. "I'm almost tired of my son, you're still talking cool here."
"This grinding used to be done by Miss Yueru alone, what she can do as a girl's family, you are a big man who is tired here, it's too cowardly."
Hearing this, Wu Zichu pointed to the mill, and shook his blistered left hand, "I saw that Yueru did this very easily, why did I understand that I was so tired and grinding my hands as soon as I got started today." ”
"What about the girl who is like a girl? Didn't come today? Yu Shaobai looked at the inner room, and Wu Zichu replied: "It's coming, it's coming, but she said that she wasn't feeling well today, so she lay down in that room to rest." So I'll help her with the work. ”
"Don't look at me like that." Noticing Wu Zichu's eyes, Yu Shaobai hurriedly waved his hand.
Wu Zichu said aggrievedly: "I haven't said this yet, what are you doing with your hand?" ”
"You're already a habitual look begging me to do something, I'm here this time for you and Yueru's lifelong event, are you embarrassed to let me help you grind?"
As soon as he heard Yu Shaobai say that he came here for the lifelong event of himself and Yueru, Wu Zichu hurriedly asked, "Hurry up." Don't sell it! ”
"I've seen your father before, and your father said that he has no opinion on the matter between you and Miss Yueru, as long as you are willing. But the premise is that you can't find him a bad in-laws. Only by asking him to quit gambling can he recognize Yueru as this daughter-in-law. ”
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Wu Zichu was ecstatic, but when he heard that he wanted to ask Daddy Lou to quit gambling, he suddenly died. "What? Why are you like this, shouldn't you be happy? Yu Shaobai asked.
"Happy fart, isn't my dad talking nonsense? It sounds quite generous, as long as Daddy Lou gets rid of his gambling habit, he will agree that I will be with Yueru. But Yueru and his mother spent a lot of effort to quit Lou's father's gambling addiction, after so many years, it is not more difficult to get rid of it than to ascend to the sky, my father obviously doesn't want me and Yueru to be good. ”
Yu Shaobai shook his head and said, "You can't think so, this at least represents your father's concession." Gambling addiction is difficult to go, but it is not impossible to get rid of, in order for me and Lingrou to get married as soon as possible, I will do my best to help you! ”
"What? My dad promised you and my sister too? Wu Zichu suddenly became interested.
"Sort of, but he made me a court official within two years, and the rank is even bigger than him."
"I wondered, why did my father suddenly change his temper, didn't he always look down on you before?"
Yu Shaobai smiled: "It's gold that always shines, and your father may have just found out that I was a mirror." ”
Hearing this, Wu Zichu sighed and said, "My father is too partial, and the problem he gave me is more difficult than ascending to the sky, but I can give it to you." Is that a problem? My dad is just a positive eighth grade, with less white your ingenuity, check a few more cases, it is not a matter of time before you become an official, it is enough to surpass my father for two years. ”
"You have more faith in me than I have in myself. On this point, I will definitely help you. ”
"What's your best idea? If only Daddy Lou had lost his gambling addiction. I don't have to wipe his ass anymore."
Yu Shaobai shook his head and replied: "I haven't thought of it for the time being, if you give me some time, I will definitely find a way to quit his gambling addiction." ”
And while the two of them were talking. Lou Yueru, who was originally lying on the bed, had already walked behind the door, seeing that she was walking a little vainly, and her face was a little pale. Wu Zichu only thought that she didn't sleep well but didn't know that she was caused by excessive blood loss, and there was an inch-long wound on her shoulder, she didn't tell her father, just simply bandaged the wound.
Thinking of the previous battle with Xu Sanjin, she felt a pity. If he hadn't been soft-hearted for a while, he wouldn't have let him get into the gap, scratch himself, and escape. However, he didn't make any money, and his waist and legs were pierced by the short sword in her hand.
When she listened to Yu Shaobai's words, her originally expressionless face rippled, and she punched the door frame. "Wu Chun actually agreed to Yu Shaobai and Wu Lingrou's family affair? How so! ”
Well?
Hearing a muffled sound coming from the east house, Yu Shaobai and Wu Zichu looked back and saw Lou Yueru pushing the door and walking towards them.
Wu Zichu hurriedly got up and greeted him, "Yueru, you are not feeling well, just lie down, what are you doing when you come out?" As he spoke, he thought about helping her.
"I can do it myself." Lou Yueru avoided Wu Zichu's hand a little indifferently, and sat straight at the table, which made the young man a little stunned, today Yueru was a little strange to herself.
"Miss Yueru, you came just in time, we were still talking about you and Brother Zichu, but he mentioned it to me many times, and my ears are calloused. What do you say that you don't marry, and the flesh is numb? Yu Shaobai winked at Wu Zichu, he was righteous enough, if he didn't dare to say it, he would say it for him.
Wu Zichu stood behind Yueru and extended a thumbs up to Yu Shaobai.
