Chapter Seventy-Two: Refusal of Marriage (Part 1)

The market was too big, just a small part of the shop, Lu Lu felt a little tired, and Lu Qi accompanied Lu Lu back home.

After arriving home, Lu Qi was called to the conference hall. In the hall, Lu Hua sat on the hall, and Lin Chengjie and others sat on one side of the hall.

Seeing Lu Qi come in, Lu Hua stretched out his hand to beckon his son over, after Lu Qi saluted, Lu Hua said: "Qi'er, my father is going to marry you, she is the youngest daughter of Uncle Linchengjie, and she is the same age as you, ask if you are willing?"

Lu Qi felt a little surprised, so he asked, "Why is the father so anxious about the child's marriage?"

Hearing this, Lu Lu was also very shocked, frowned, and looked at Lu Qi.

"Lu Qi's nephew, you are a talent, and my daughter of Linchengjie is also talented and beautiful, and you are just a talented woman with you, wouldn't it be better for you and me to form a good alliance between Qin and Jin?" Linchengjie looked serious, and his hands were put together after gesturing in the air.

"Father?" Lu Qi frowned and looked at Lu Hua with a begging look.

Lu Hua moved his body slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal, "If you have anything to say, if you are not satisfied, your father will not force you." ”

Lu Qi plucked up his courage and said: "Father, I already have someone I like, and I can only tolerate her in my heart in this life, I will not marry her." ”

Lu Qi's voice resounded throughout the hall, and when he heard this, Lu Hua burst out laughing.

The Great Elder quickly stood up and said to Lu Hua: "Patriarch, if Lu Qi marries the young lady of the Lincheng family, there is no doubt that the status of our two families in the city will continue to rise! ”

Hearing this, Lin Chengjie frowned, couldn't help but be relieved, his face became happy, he stood up, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! What this elder said is extremely true! Our two major families combined, how can we control the whole city." ”

Lu Hua ignored it, and asked Lu Qi again, "Qi'er, are you sure?" Uncle Jie's youngest daughter is definitely unparalleled in beauty. ”

Lu Qi arched his hand, saluted his father and Linchengjie again, and said steadily: "Uncle Jie, your kindness, Lu Qi understands it, but Lu Qi is only a shallow scholar after all, and he is not worthy of a noble lady, marriage is not a child's play, Uncle Wangjie thinks twice and understands." ”

"Hmph, Lu Hua, can't you take care of a stinky child?" Lin Chengjie slapped the coffee table next to him with one hand, stood up angrily, and said.

"Hahaha!" Lu Hua laughed, then stood up purple, walked to Lu Qi's side, reached out and stroked Lu Qi's head, and said: "Brother Jie, it's not that I can't control it, it's just that I, Lu Hua, will never force others to do what they don't like to do, not to mention that he is my son." ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his head and looked at his father, full of emotion, his eyes were already moist. At this time, Lu Lu's worries just now were also relieved.

"Hmph, Lu Hua, don't regret it!"

Leaving this sentence, Lin Chengjie left the Lu family angrily.

"No!" Lu Hua responded.

The Great Elder shook his head, let out a long sigh, and said, "Why did the patriarch ignore the entire clan and let him go, it would definitely lead to the revenge of the Lincheng clan in the future. ”

"Our Lu family is not without the strength to fight against it, and the people of our clan are not waste, if we fight, even if we lose, their family will not be much better, I will not exchange the life of my beloved son for the rise of the Lu family's status, political marriage, in Lao Tzu is not useful. Lu Hua replied domineeringly.

The elder sighed again, but this time he didn't say anything.

"Father, thank you!" Lu Qi said movingly.

Lu Hua barely held up a smile, but didn't say anything more.

......

From the next day, the Lincheng family began to suppress the Lu family's economy, not only reducing the price of goods, but also attracting many merchants from the Lu family's way to enter the Lincheng family's Fang Market in a preferential way, and at the same time using some means to make people dare not enter the Lu Jiafang City for trading. Lujiafang City has entered an unprecedented trough, with few people in the market, bleak and desolate.

In the conference hall, full of family cadres and businessmen, one by one complaining, Lu Hua strode to the top of the hall, sat down, and Lu Qi also followed to the conference hall.

The adults are discussing solutions, and Lu Qi rarely understands the affairs of the family, let alone puts forward any valuable opinions.

Everyone in the family was anxious, but no one dared to accuse Lu Hua of not.

Above the hall, everyone was discussing, and the hall was already bustling, and at this time, Lu Hua shouted "Quiet!"

The whole audience was silent, all eyes were on Lu Hua, Lu Hua slowly walked towards the middle of the hall, and said calmly: "Today's situation, I have already predicted, do you know why I refuse to marry with the Lincheng family? One of the reasons is that I am unwilling to force the people of my clan to do what they don't like to do, and there are only two reasons, the Lincheng family has a huge influence in the city, after the marriage, the two families will cooperate, the Lincheng family will take the opportunity to annex our Fang City, our clan will really decline, now, now is the time to test the unity of our family." ......”

After speaking, all the cadres in the audience sounded the call to support Lu Hua and fight desperately for the Lu people.

After the meeting, Lu Hua began to increase the number of people to strengthen the maintenance of the Fang City, as well as the personal safety between buyers and sellers, and also reduce the price of goods, trying to recover the lost customer flow, and at the same time, in the same preferential way, coupled with deep emotion, to attract back many merchants who were originally stationed in Lu Nationality Fang City.

Three days later, the situation in Lujiafang City gradually recovered a lot, although it was not as good as the usual situation, but at least it gave the Lu family a chance to breathe.

At noon, someone brought a letter from Linchengjie, and after Lu Hua opened the letter and read it for a while, he sneered: "Linchengjie, he said that he would buy our Fang Market at a high price, otherwise he would implement more powerful means." Hmph! I'm a lot older, and I won't stop for a while. ”

With that, he tore the letter to shreds.
