Chapter 23 The marriage of the Lu Mansion
And Liu Yuan in Surabaya Pavilion didn't know that at this moment, Liu Ji was impersonating him to cheat and cheat. Liu Yuan also went to the mountains these days, he hunted with everyone, and now the meat in each area has increased, and he ordered people to go to Peixian City, sell meat to make money, and buy living materials. The lives of the people of Surabaya Pavilion have undergone earth-shaking changes, and every household has surplus food.
In Peixian County, Liu Ji rushed to Lu Mansion with Lu Juan and Fan Hao the next morning. Mrs. Lu was invited yesterday, so Liu Ji was not stopped by the servants and soon arrived in the lobby. At this moment, when Mrs. Lu heard that Liu Ji was coming, she said with a smile: "Pavilion Chief Liu is here, sit down." ”
After Liu Ji sat down, he bowed to Mrs. Lu and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what Gong Lu invited me to do?" If Yuan can do it, he naturally does not dare to refuse. Liu Ji called himself "Yuan", of course he was pretending to be Liu Yuan, he was very cautious and did not show any flaws.
Lu Taigong smiled, looked at Liu Ji with a beard, and saw that the latter was steady, and also nodded and asked, "I don't know what Pavilion Chief Liu thinks of the little girl?" ”
"Miss Lu?" When Liu Ji heard this, he and Lu Juan glanced at each other, he groaned, and then saluted and continued: "Miss Lu is dignified and polite, and has both virtue and appearance. After a pause, he pretended to be shy and said again: "Don't hide it from Gong Lu, I like Miss Lu very much." ”
"Haha......" When Mrs. Lu heard this, he laughed even more, he looked at Liu Ji with earnest eyes, and said in a deep voice: "My little girl has also reached the age of marriage, I don't know if Liu Tingchang has a marriage match?" ”
Lu Taigong's meaning is already very clear, how could Liu Ji not know? His heart is hot, this Lu Pheasant is not only beautiful, but also has a lot of money, for the now down-and-out Liu Ji, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Liu Ji hid the heat in his eyes, he arched his hand, and said calmly: "Let Lu Gongjian smile, at Yuan's age, there is still no marriage match." ”
Mrs. Lu patted the desk, and it was also difficult to hide the joy in his heart, he waved his hand and said directly: "Pavilion Chief Liu is willing to marry my little daughter?" ”
Liu Ji immediately got up, he bowed to Mrs. Lu, and said again in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, please accept the worship of the son-in-law!" ”
"Okay, okay, sit down." Mrs. Lu generously accepted the courtesy, then nodded with a smile, and hurriedly said, he is also relieved now, his daughter's marriage has finally been decided, so that he doesn't have to be embarrassed by the county order. Later, Mrs. Lu asked Liu Ji about his birthday, and asked Mrs. Lu to inform him that after choosing an auspicious day, Liu Ji could come to marry Lu Pheasant.
After the marriage was decided, Mrs. Lu took Liu Ji's arm and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, don't go, come, accompany me for a few drinks." Seeing that it was already noon, Mrs. Lu ordered someone to serve wine and food.
Liu Ji should get down and immediately toast to Mrs. Lu. Fan Hao and Lu Juan also ate and drank, they were naturally happy, if Liu Ji married the young lady of the Lu family, their hard life could be regarded as coming out. A few people were chatting happily, but there was a lot of noise outside the house, Lu Taigong put down the bronze wine glass, his face was gloomy, and he asked coldly: "What's so noisy?" ”
The servant outside the hall hurriedly ran in, and after saluting, the servant said: "Duke Lu, it was someone from the Li family who came here, and he is looking for trouble outside the mansion at the moment." ”
"Li family!" Lu Taigong frowned, his face changed uncertainly, and he shouted angrily: "It's too much to deceive people!" My Lu Mansion has moved to Pei County, and his Li family is still so aggressive. ”
When Liu Ji heard this, he immediately asked, "Father-in-law, what is it that makes you so distressed and angry?" ”
Mrs. Lu drank a cup of himself, and then he sighed, looked at Liu Ji and said with a helpless wry smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, this Li family and my Lu Mansion are originally in the same county, and the eldest son of my family has been married to Miss Li since childhood. I didn't expect that my unfilial son would regret his marriage, which caused the Li family to lose face. In desperation, I moved my family to Pei County, and I never thought that the Li family was still unforgiving. ”
"And that matter?" Liu Ji took the case, his face was cold, and then he said to Mrs. Lu: "Father-in-law, don't worry, this matter is handed over to the son-in-law." After that, he glanced at Lu Juan and Fan Xu, and the two immediately understood, and they also put down the wine and meat in their hands, and walked out with Liu Ji.
"The villagers of Pei County have come to evaluate the theory, what kind of character does the son of the Lu family have, and the family affairs he has set have repented of his marriage, what kind of face does this Lu Mansion have?" Outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, several servants were shouting, and their tones were not good.
Liu Ji pushed aside the crowd, put his hands around his chest, and scolded: "Presumptuous, how can you humiliate the Lu Mansion at will?" ”
"Yo, who are you, and dare to ask me about the Li family?" Among the servants, a man who was clearly a butler smiled contemptuously.
Seeing that his aunt was despised, the official of the Lu Mansion was naturally angry, "This is our uncle of the Lu Mansion." ”
The housekeeper of the Li family glanced at Liu Ji at this time, and saw that the latter was wearing coarse linen clothes and was a little ruffian, so he immediately laughed and sneered: "Miss Lu is actually married to a gangster." ”
"I'll your grandma." Seeing that Liu Ji was humiliated, Fan Xu's fiery temper swelled, and he kicked the butler in the stomach. Fan Xu's sturdy body, I don't know the severity of the kicks, and the housekeeper of the Li family fell directly to the ground.
"You, what are you doing?" The housekeeper groaned in pain, pointed at Fan Hao with a panicked face, and asked in fright.
"What to do?" Fan Xu laughed, "Naturally, I beat you." With that, he stepped forward and fought again.
Seeing this, the servants of the Li family also punched and kicked Fan Xu. Liu Ji immediately took Lu Juan to surround him, "If you dare to come to Lu Mansion to make trouble, you won't ask who Brother Ji is?" Lu Juan chattered while playing.
Seeing Liu Ji make a move, the servants of the Lu Mansion also followed, the Li family was small, and there was a big man like Fan Xu, so they were naturally defeated, and they were driven out of Peixian County one by one with blue noses and swollen faces. Seeing that the trouble was solved, Liu Ji and the three returned to the lobby, Mrs. Lu smiled and was very satisfied, he looked at Liu Ji and said excitedly: "Virtuous son-in-law, thanks to you." ”
"Sharing the worries of the father-in-law is what the son-in-law should do." Liu Ji drank a glass of wine and said with a hearty smile.
After lunch, Mrs. Lu also ordered someone to send Lu Pheasant's birthday, and at the same time, she had already asked someone to see the auspicious day, Mrs. Lu nodded and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, the auspicious date has been set, and you can come to marry in three days." ”
When Liu Ji heard this, he suddenly sank his face in embarrassment, and he pretended to be sincere and said: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, my son-in-law's family is poor, and I am afraid that this gift money will ......."
Before Liu Ji finished speaking, Mrs. Lu waved his hand and said with a smile: "In this way, you first take ten thousand dollars from my Lu Mansion, this great joy cannot be shabby." "Taigong Lu doesn't care about money, what he values is Liu Ji, or should it be Liu Yuan's prestige in Pei County.
Liu Ji hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, father-in-law." Then he took out 10,000 yuan from the Lu Mansion and left with a happy heart.
