Chapter 16 Lu Mansion
In the farmer's courtyard in the west of Pei County, the farmer's family is talking about the marriage of Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant, it is said that all the leading figures in the county are going to go, including the son of the county commander who also has a very good relationship with Liu Ji and wants to preside over the marriage for them.
But Zhao Jun was full of blank thoughts, and he was still confused until he was helped back into the room by the baby, and there were only three words left in his heart.
Why?
Why are you in such a hurry to get married, was it all fake between us in the first place?
You obviously know that Liu Ji is my enemy, but why do you choose to marry him?
Just after the three-year period expires, you get married, are you so impatient?
Zhao Jun tossed and turned overnight, and after staying up until dawn, he went straight to Lu Mansion, Lu Mansion lived very large, and his reputation in Pei County was not small, so he knew that Guan Ying couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he asked, but he also guessed something, nothing more than love words.
Lu Mansion is located next to the market in the northeast of Pei County, although the specifications of the house are not large, but the decoration is luxurious and magnificent, the beast ring gate is nearly one zhang high, there are two stone beasts on the left and right, and a row of willow trees is planted outside the courtyard, which supports a shaded path under the scorching sun.
'Bump! Touch! Zhao Jun almost smashed his hand on the gate of Lu Mansion, he was not in the mood to observe this, he just wanted to ask Lu Pheasant face to face.
Soon after, a dissatisfied voice sounded in the door: "Who is it early in the morning?" β
Subsequently, the door opened and a middle-aged servant walked out, the servant had an extremely dissatisfied look on his face for many years, although the Lu Mansion encountered some difficulties after coming to Pei County, but since he met Liu Ji, who did not salute them Lu Fu for three points?
Therefore, looking at Zhao Jun and the bearded baby behind him, his face was full of unhappiness.
"Why do you disturb people's tranquility, why don't you understand any etiquette?" He thought that these two people were asking for others, and deliberately elongated their tones.
It's just that the baby didn't eat him at all, his big eyes glared at his face, and he shouted in a rough voice: "Don't talk nonsense, let me call your family to live out." "He has seen a lot of big families and rich families in Suiyang, and in comparison, this kind of specification of Lu Mansion is not worth mentioning in front of him.
The middle-aged servant is also a perennial guest who has practiced a pair of fiery eyes, and after being calmed down by a drink, he knew that he was not easy to provoke when he saw the fierce and evil appearance of the bearded baby.
So the dissatisfaction on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a smile on his face: "I'm afraid this is inconvenient, so let's go and inform the head of the family, it's not easy to do the small one as an errand." β
"Tell your head of the family, my name is Zhao Jun." Although Zhao Jun was extremely anxious in his heart, he still understood the most basic etiquette, and said that Lu Pheasant's parents must have played an extremely important role in this.
"The little ones are going." The servant turned his face and ran inside, and in his experience, something must have happened.
In the main room of the Lu Mansion, Lu Wen sat in the middle as the head of the family, while Lu Yuan sat next to him, and Lu Ze, Lu Pheasant's brother, was standing and talking next to him.
I only heard Lu Wenxian ask: "Ze'er, how is the marriage going to be handled?" β
"Back to my father, it's all done." Lu Ze replied respectfully.
Lu Yuan said in a tone: "You must handle it carefully, although Liu Ji is not a big official, he is one of the best people in Pei County, although he is older than Pheasant, but with our current situation, it is not bad to find such a person as a son-in-law." β
Lu Wen also nodded and said: "Well, don't look at his age, but judging from my observation of his face, he will be the one who will be crowned a marquis and worship the king in the future, if it is not peaceful today, our Lu family has found him Gao Pan." β
"But, isn't it too wronged to the second sister?" Lu Ze asked with some doubts.
At this time, Lu Yuan's thin lips and thin eyebrows raised her face and said, "What grievances, isn't this her own consent?" β
Lu Ze smiled bitterly: "Mother, you don't know the temper of the second sister, she did it all to protect our Lu family, and we owed Liu Ji so much kindness at the beginning, if we didn't marry it, it would be unreasonable, so the second sister is just thinking about our Lu family, it's not what she wants at all, and you don't know what Zhao Jun did back then." β
After listening to Lu Ze, Lu Yuan said in a shrill voice: "What do you mention him, he died a long time ago, we owed him back then, didn't we also let him follow us to recuperate?" We've been waiting for him for more than three years, so what else is there to say. β
At this time, Lu Wen frowned and said: "Okay, don't talk about this, tomorrow is the marriage date, see if there is anything that is not well prepared, don't go wrong, by the way, what about Shi Zhi and Huan'er?" β
"Back to my father, the two of them said that it was too boring to accompany their second sister in the room, so they went out to play." Lu Ze replied that there is a custom in Peixian County's marriage, that is, the woman is not allowed to leave the house one month before the marriage, and the last three days are not allowed to leave the boudoir door.
"Hmph, how old are they?" Lu Wen was a little helpless on his face, this brother and sister were far inferior to the eldest brother and sister, so he was relieved, and finally raised his hand and said, "Okay, you go down." β
Lu Ze bowed and said, "Yes, father." β
However, just as he was about to retreat, the guard came in in a hurry.
"Master, there are two people outside the door who want to see you."
Lu Wen was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who is it, did you say your name?" β
The servant replied, "I don't know what they do, they are dressed in ordinary and shabby clothes, and by the way, one of them says his name is Zhao Jun." β
"What?" Lu Wen almost shouted in shock, and at the same time stood up involuntarily, and asked again: "Are you sure his name is Zhao Jun?" How old is it? β
At this time, Lu Ze and Lu Yuan both had shocked and incredulous expressions, how could Zhao Jun come back.
The servant nodded and said, "He does call himself Zhao Jun, about ten ** years old, master, what's wrong?" The servant couldn't help but wonder in his heart, in the past, his master was calm and measured, why did he lose his temper when he heard the word Zhao Jun today, wouldn't it be the lost child of the old man who was out of town back then? Hehe, it's a good show again, and the old woman won't let him kneel on the ground.
At this time, Lu Wen's eyes were a little dull, and he came back to his senses after a while, and finally sat down and sighed: "Hey, what a sin." β
"Isn't he dead, sir? How did you live again? At this time, Lu Yuan had a question on her face.
"Mother, these are just rumors, and no one has confirmed them." Lu Ze replied, then turned to Lu Wen and asked, "Father, can we see each other?" β
Lu Wen sighed and said, "There are some things that can't be avoided, so let's go out and meet them." β
Subsequently, the family of three, led by the slave, went out to meet Zhao Jun.
Until the three of them saw Zhao Jun, it was still a little difficult to be confident, I didn't expect Zhao Jun to really survive, and came back, when they arrived in Pei County, but they heard how big Zhao Jun's crime was, it was really strange how he escaped wanted.
"I've seen Gong Lu, Yuan Lu, and Brother Ze." Although Zhao Jun was extremely anxious in his heart, he was no longer the joyful young man he was back then, hugging his fists and smiling.
Lu Wen suppressed the surprised question in his heart, and said with a warm smile on his face: "Hehe, I haven't seen the virtuous nephew for many years, and the virtuous nephew is getting stronger and stronger, it seems that the disaster has been solved." β
"Hmph, what kind of disaster has been solved, I think it's urgent to be wanted by the Qin army, this will think of our Lu family taking refuge, I can tell you, this is not good, don't affect us later." Suddenly, Lu Yuan said harshly, and while she looked at Zhao Jun's clothes, a look of disdain rose in her eyes.
"My mother spoke straighter, Brother Zhao, don't be surprised, I haven't seen you for a few years, I miss it so much." At this time, Lu Ze hugged his fists and smiled in return.
Zhao Jun suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Ze is still as handsome as ever." β
Compared with a few years ago, Lu Ze is indeed more mature and stable, and he is also more self-contained and majestic, probably because he has studied and practiced martial arts in recent years.
"What are women talking about?" Lu Wen couldn't help but reprimand Lu Yuan, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to test Zhao Jun's details, but he didn't expect to be destroyed by his own family.
However, Lu Yuan's words also touched on Lu Wen's taboo, his family finally escaped from Handan back then, and his business has just improved in the past two years, he doesn't want to be destroyed by Zhao Jun.
So, after pondering for a while, Lu Wen opened his mouth and smiled: "I don't know what is the priority of Ah Jun's return this time?" If you are short of money, just say, we had a kindness back then, and I, Lu Wen, will not die without help. β
Zhao Jun frowned after hearing this, Lu Wen kept testing himself, and finally specifically mentioned a favor and money, which was nothing more than a hint that he wanted to break off the relationship with himself, but he mainly wanted to see Lu Pheasant today, so he didn't plan to worry about it.
"Back to Lu Gong, I came this time because I wanted to talk to Ejiao in person, so I also asked Lu Gong to be accommodating and let me meet Ejiao." Zhao Jun said bluntly at this time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, Lu Yuan said angrily: "What is Ejiao, this is also your name?" We pheasants are all people who are going to get married, you better not talk nonsense and ruin our daughter's reputation, as for what you want to see, it is even more impossible, you go quickly, otherwise I will bring the government to arrest you. β
"Mother, I have something to say." Lu Ze came forward to play a round again, and finally said to Zhao Jun: "My mother is actually right, the second sister is going to get married tomorrow, it is better to see it differently, as for the second sister, she also agrees with herself, I believe you should understand the second sister's temperament, I think it is better for everyone if you don't see her, after all, she will live a peaceful life in the future." β
Lu Ze's words actually hinted at Zhao Jun, I know about you and the second sister, but she married Liu Ji voluntarily, and no one forced her, if you are good for her, leave her, so as not to offend the identity of the second sister.
Zhao Jun didn't think about anything else, but his heart was cold, was it really Lu Pheasant's will? He had been holding a kind of extravagant hope before, hoping that Lu Pheasant was forced, but
Lu Wen opened his mouth at this time and smiled: "Ah Jun, we also know some grievances between you and Liu Ji when we came to Pei County, but you have to understand that he is now the county arrester of Pei County, you can't fight him, and he has also helped us a lot since he came to Pei County, and he is very prestigious in Pei County, and he is also very affectionate to Pheasant, I am very satisfied with him, do you understand?" β
The county arrester is a person at the level below the county lieutenant, who is responsible for assisting the county lieutenant in managing public order in the county, and is a local military attachΓ©.
Zhao Jun frowned at this time, although he knew that the performance of these three people was human nature, he still couldn't help but feel a strong bad feeling towards them, especially Lu Wen and Lu Yuan, who simply touched his bottom line.
"I said that you guys are really good enough to look down on people, we are in trouble now, but how do we know if it will fly one day?" Guan Ying couldn't stand it anymore, and although he couldn't reveal his identity, he still sneered with extreme dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan's face was full of anger, and she said sharply: "Feihuang Tengda? Hmph, that's also for the future, whether you can live in the future is a matter of two words? β
Zhao Jun secretly stopped the baby who wanted to continue arguing, but said firmly: "Please also ask Lu Gong to be accommodating, let me see Ejiao." β
Lu Wen was a little annoyed by Zhao Jun's ignorance, so he warned a little seriously: "Ah Jun, I hope you can understand our Lu family, and it was in vain that we had a relationship at the beginning, you can't see the pheasant, I know that you are strong in martial arts, we may not be able to help it, but the government here is not something you can fight casually, don't forget that Liu Ji is the county arrester." β
"Hehe, county catch?"
Zhao Jun just smiled faintly at this time, not to mention the official mansion in the county, now even if it is the official mansion in the county, he can come and go freely, but he doesn't want to break into the Lu Mansion to make Lu Pheasant ugly, if he hurts the Lu family, I'm afraid his misunderstanding with Lu Pheasant will be even deeper.
"Let's go." Zhao Jun turned around calmly, and Guan Ying snorted coldly at the Lu family and followed.
When Zhao Jun and the others walked away, Lu Ze asked Lu Wen: "Father, are we a little too much today, Zhao Jun is indeed a man with a true temperament, the child admires him very much, and I heard that he also has something to do with the county lieutenant Ren Huan." β
"So what, I heard Liu Ji say that he was about to be transferred, and with Liu Ji's prestige in Pei County, even if it was a county order, he had to give face, and I warned you, you are not allowed to have dealings with Zhao Junzai, if he doesn't leave Pei County, I'm afraid Liu Ji will attack him." Lu Wen snorted coldly, and went back to the mansion with Lu Yuan.
Lu Ze thought about it, but walked towards Lu Pheasant's room, he wanted to tell Lu Pheasant the news.
In a small courtyard in the west of the city, Zhao Jun and Guan Ying came back directly after leaving the Lu Mansion.
At this time, the baby said: "Today we have suffered such a big bag, we can't just forget it, we must fight for it." β
"Thank you, Big Brother Guan." Zhao Jun smiled lightly, he knew that the baby was cheering him up.
Guan Ying smiled: "Haha, what's polite, but what are you going to do next?" β
Zhao Jun paused after hearing this, and finally said with a cold expression: "You will help me go out and ask later, where Liu Ji is getting married tomorrow, and I want to see how he gets married." β
"Okay." After hearing this, the baby was overjoyed, Zhao Jun was finally going to take action, it should have been like this, a manly man, he did something and didn't do anything, and he was angry at the crown and was a hero.
