Lu Qing hesitated for a long time, if she didn't make it clear, I'm afraid her mother would never agree to Zhang Xuan's marriage proposal, although she promised her father not to talk about it to anyone, but now she just wants to prove Zhang Xuan's character to her mother, she can wronged herself, but she must not wronged Zhang Xuan.

Lu Qing asked all the maids to go downstairs, closed the door again, and then knelt down and wept to his mother: "Mother, General Zhang actually saved his daughter's life. ”

Mrs. Lu was taken aback, "Qing'er, where did you start with this?" ”

Lu Qing colluded with Lu Mingyue and his second uncle Lu Yi to trick himself into entering the city and was caught by Lu Mingyue, thanks to Zhang Xuan, who told her in detail how she was rescued from Lu Mingyue, and finally she cried sadly: "If it weren't for General Zhang's righteous rescue, her daughter would have been the wife of the bandit leader Wei Dao'er, and her daughter's reputation would have been ruined a long time ago, don't blame General Zhang!" ”

Mrs. Lu was dumbfounded when she heard this, she didn't know that her daughter had been missing for a few days last summer, and such a thrilling thing had happened, she couldn't help but say angrily: "Why didn't you tell your mother about this?" ”

Lu Qing lowered his head and whispered, "It's the father who doesn't allow his daughter to tell anyone." ”

"I'm your mother, can't I know yet, and if I say this kind of thing again, I'll go out and preach it?"

Mrs. Lu became more and more angry in her heart, gritted her teeth and hated: "I already knew that he wanted to rob the power of the family, and actually poisoned his niece, does he still have the face to face his brother?" ”

"Mother, this matter is over, and besides, the daughter has not been harmed."

"Humph! That's your luck, falling into the hands of bandits, how many women will survive? ”

"Mother, it's not luck, it's General Zhang who sacrificed his life to save his daughter."

"Alright! The next time my mother sees him, she will thank him in person. But this has nothing to do with marriage, your marriage was decided by the Cui Lu family a long time ago, whether you want it or not, you can only obey the interests of the family. ”

Lu Qing said categorically: "No matter what my mother says, my daughter will never marry the Cui family, and she will not marry if she dies!" ”

"You-"

Mrs. Lu was furious. raised his hand and slapped his daughter hard, "You have to marry if you marry, you have to marry if you don't marry, I can't help you!" ”

After speaking, Mrs. Lu slammed the door angrily, and Lu Qing fell on the bed and cried bitterly.

．．．．．．．．

Lu Zhuo did not return to his mansion until the door was closed at night, which was also the privilege given by the Son of Heaven to the examiners, allowing them to travel at night. to avoid harassment from the soldiers.

Lu Zhuo's carriage slowly stopped in front of the mansion, the scholars had already left, and the silence outside the Lu mansion finally returned, at this time, his son Lu Qingyuan greeted him, "Father is back?" ”

"Is it lively here during the day?" Lu Zhuo asked with a smile.

Lu Qingyuan sighed, "During the day, the family didn't dare to leave the house, and the outside was crowded with scholars who trusted the relationship. Father, when will they stop a little? ”

Lu Zhuo smiled: "It's very simple. You tell those scholars tomorrow that even if the giver passes the exam, he will be expelled from the list, and he guarantees that no one will dare to come. ”

The father and son walked into the mansion, and at this time, Lu Qingyuan said in a low voice: "Father, Zhang Xuan is here today." ”

"Oh! What did he come to do? ”

Lu Zhuo instinctively thought that Jang Hyun had a friend who wanted to participate in the imperial examination. Does he have to trust his own relationship?

"This is here to ask for a kiss!"

"What!"

Lu Zhuo stopped all of a sudden, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?" ”

"He is here to ask for marriage today and wants to marry Qingmei as his wife."

Lu Zhuo didn't speak for a long time, in fact, he had already thought that Zhang Xuan and Qing'er stayed together for two days and two nights. It's no wonder that there is no affection between them.

It's just that this matter is too complicated, he can't handle it, he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, if Zhang Xuan doesn't say it, he won't mention it, but he didn't expect Zhang Xuan to come to ask for a kiss.

Lu Zhuo sighed, "What did the mother say?" Did she see Jang Hyun? ”

"His mother received him, but it didn't seem to be doing very well, and his mother was very upset."

Lu Zhuo nodded silently, his wife was the daughter of the Cui family, and he could imagine her attitude towards this matter.

"Alright! I know about this, go ahead! It's a little tiring to be a father. ”

Lu Qingyuan saluted and slowly retreated, but after taking a few steps, he hesitated, then turned back and said, "Father, the child really doesn't like the Cui family." ”

Lu Zhuo smiled slightly, "Actually, I don't like it either." ”

Lu Zhuo returned to his room, and his wife Cui Shi greeted him, "Master is back." ”

Lu Zhuo nodded, sat down tiredly, and said with a smile: "In two days, all the papers will be finished, and then I should return to normal, these two days can make me tired, madam, I want to scald my feet with hot water." ”

Mrs. Lu Cui Shi hurriedly instructed the maid to fetch hot water, and she took off her husband's robe again, pinched his shoulders, and said unhurriedly: "Master, why didn't you tell me about that incident last year?" ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhuo asked in surprise.

"It's Qing'er, do you know what I'm talking about?"

Lu Zhuo's expression was a little unnatural, "Did Zhang Xuan tell you?" ”

"How did the master know he was coming?"

"Oh! It was Kyungwon who told me that he had been here during the day, so when you said that, I thought of him. ”

Cui Shi stretched his face, "He didn't tell me, it was your daughter who told me, master, I was also surprised and sad!" ”

Lu Zhuo said lightly: "That incident has passed, and Qing'er has not been harmed, so I don't want to mention it again." ”

"But the one who harms is not punished in any way!"

"Madam, don't talk about this anymore, my father will give me justice, okay?"

"Alright! I won't say it, don't worry, I won't say anything about it, so that the ugliness of the Lu family will be publicized. ”

Lu Zhuo was silent, and Cui's topic changed and said: "But Qing'er is not small, when is the marriage between Cui and Lu's two families, when is the master going to carry it out, my eldest brother has already come to propose twice, and the master always drags it back, why is this?" ”

"Madam, I agreed with the Cui family at the beginning, my daughter can marry someone else after three years in the room, and now the second year is almost full, and I can wait another year to end the agreement with the Cui family, this is my personal agreement with Cui Zhao, do you have to count in black and white?"

There was already a trace of dissatisfaction in Lu Zuo's tone, in fact, it was not fair in the marriage agreement between the Cui and Lu families, the eldest son of the Lu family must marry the daughter of the Cui family, but the Cui family only asked the son-in-law to marry the daughter of the Lu family, not necessarily the eldest son.

Although there is a saying that only by marrying the daughter of the Lu family can he be the head of the Cui family, but in fact, it was only a saying that the Cui family competed for the position of the head of the family last year, and it was not directly related to the covenant of the Cui Lu family.

Cui Zhao's wife is the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, but Cui Zhao's eldest son Cui Wenzhi is married to the daughter of the Li family of Zhao County, on the contrary, his wife is Cui's family, and his eldest son's wife is also Cui's family, and his wife is not the eldest daughter of the Cui family.

This unfairness has led to the fact that the Fanyang Lu family has been suppressed by the Boling Cui clan for a hundred years, and the Lu family has been very dissatisfied for several generations, and when it comes to Lu Zhuo's generation, he wants to break this convention, either the two families are fair, or this century-old agreement is abolished.

"Master, you can't say that, the old man also wanted to marry Qing'er to the Cui family, but Youlin died early, and he didn't have the luck to marry Qing'er, so why can't Wenxiang?

He is a talent, with good knowledge and character, and he is very likely to become the head of the Cui family, and more importantly, he wants to marry Qing'er as his wife, and the master is his uncle, why not be the younger generation? ”

Cui Shi said very tactfully, trying to avoid angering her husband as much as possible, Lu Zuo said coldly: "I didn't say that Wen Xiang can't do it, but his father has a problem!" ”

"My eldest brother has a problem!"

Cui Shi was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What did the master say about this?" ”

"I heard that he has a little innocent relationship with the remnants of Northern Qi, this is a capital crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and I don't want my daughter to be implicated."

Cui Shi was silent, and then said after a while: "You mean to say that you want your daughter to marry this Zhang Xuan!" ”

"I didn't say that, I just said that I don't want to be hasty with my daughter's marriage, of course, I still hope to marry the family, which is more in line with the interests of the Lu family, as for whether it is the Cui family, I have to think about it slowly."

Now that she has come to this point, the Cui family can't go on, but she secretly made up her mind in her heart that no matter what, she must let her daughter marry the Cui family.

She has to take some time to go back to her parents' house tomorrow and discuss what to do about it?

At night, Zhang Xuan sat alone under the lamp reading a book, and on the small table beside him was a small note given to him by Lu Qing, on which there was only one sentence, 'On the morning of the 28th, I made a vow in the Zenlin Temple. ’

The twenty-eighth is four days later, the first day of the Heroes Club, but because the weight of his weapon is up to standard, he can directly enter the second round of the competition, so he has time on the twenty-eighth.

Today's courtship did not go well, although he expected it, but was rejected by Mrs. Lu, he still felt a little frustrated, and the only thing he looked forward to was to see Lu Zhuo's attitude.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and when Zhang Xuan looked up, he saw the handsome Zhang Xutuo appear in the courtyard.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly got up and went out, "It's so late, hasn't the handsome rested yet?" (To be continued......)
