Chapter 7 The Su Family's Troubles
Such a beautiful day has been spent for more than a month. One day, more than a month later, an uninvited guest came to Su Mansion. One was a handsome boy from 'Yunshui City' who came to Su Mansion with a dozen retinues with him, and they also brought a lot of gold and jewelry on their carriage.
This person's name is Luo Chong, he looks like a merry scholar, and at first glance he is a famous son of a noble family.
"Uncle Su, hello, the first time we met, Xiaosheng's name is Luo Chong, and he is from Yunshui City. Luo Chong said to Su Quan.
Su Quan also replied: "The distinguished guests of Yunshui City have come from afar, which really makes Su Mansion shine. Looking at Luo Chong in front of him, he immediately spoke: "Why did Young Master Luo come to Hanfu thousands of miles away?"
Luo Chong snapped his fingers at this time, and at this time, his subordinates carried the jewels on the car to the hall. Su Quan frowned when he saw this, but he couldn't think of why. I saw Luo Chong smile and said to Su Quan: "Uncle Su still remembers the agreement between you and your father, Prime Minister Luo, this is Prime Minister Luo's own letter, you can take a look." ”
Hearing Luo Chong say this, Su Quan suddenly remembered that he had asked someone to find Prime Minister Luo of Yunshui City to treat his little daughter, and the prime minister surnamed Luo at that time originally did not agree, but later returned the things that Su Quan brought, saying that if he wanted to find a way to save the little girl, let him Su Quan promise him one thing. Su Quan just thought that this Luo Zai looked down on his gift, and then he didn't think of what to ask Su Quan to repay for a while, so he had to owe this favor first, and when it was useful in the future, he would ask him to cash it.
But the current situation makes Su Quan even more incomprehensible, obviously he still owes favors to others, why do people still want to bring gift money. Su Quan took the letter and read it word by word, and when he saw half of it, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
The content of the letter is very clear, Prime Minister Luo helped Su Quan's little daughter and found a cure. You must know that the elixir of Snow Lotus is unattainable, let Prime Minister Luo send someone to find it himself, it is estimated that if he finds it for five years or ten years, he may not be able to gain anything, but he can calculate that Su Quan can find this Snow Lotus for his daughter.
Once a woman has taken the Snow Lotus, the meridians of her whole body will be purified by the Snow Lotus, and if she can be combined with her, it will be of absolute benefit to the cultivator.
Therefore, Luo Chong's purpose for coming this time is very clear, he just wants Su Tao, the young lady of the Su family, to be a concubine, and the reason is very simple, because Su Quan still owes them a favor.
"This ....." Su Quan's face suddenly turned embarrassed.
Seeing this, Luo Chong said with a smile: "Uncle Su, you can rest assured, our Luo family is powerful in Yunshui City, and my father is the prime minister of the city, and he is in a high position. Miss Su will follow me in the future, and I will treat her well. ”
Su Quan didn't know what to decide at this time, he was a little unhappy to let his daughter be someone else's concubine, but fortunately, Luo Chong was at least a famous family, and it was not too much of a loss to marry. However, he also knows about Liu Gaoneng and Su Tao recently, if Luo Chong does not appear, the marriage between Liu Gaoneng and Su Tao is a sure thing. But now, I don't know what to do.
Su Quan smiled bitterly and said: "Luo Gongzi is tired of traveling and driving, he must be tired, take a rest on Su's side first, and then give Luo Gongzi an answer when Su thinks about it?"
Luo Chong sneered and said, "Okay, Young Master Ben is also a little tired, it's okay to go and rest first." But before that, I will give Uncle Su a piece of advice, Uncle Su, you promised your father first, and I believe that a young lady of the Su family marrying into the Luo family is also a high climb. I hope Uncle Su doesn't do anything stupid. Seeing that he came to propose marriage in such an identity, Su Quan was still like this, and Luo Chong didn't give a good face.
Su Quan replied a little weakly: "Thank you for your kind words and reminders, I will definitely give Luo Gongzi a satisfactory answer." ”
As soon as Luo Chong turned around, he walked out, and the housekeeper of Su Mansion immediately stepped forward to lead the way. Luo rushed away without forgetting to sarcastically say: "If it weren't for my father, this person would have died, and now I wouldn't be happy to marry me!" and then walked to the guest room without looking back.
Su Quan had a sad face, this matter had a clear answer, and he was not allowed to make a choice. You must know that no matter how rich the Su family is, it is impossible to compare with the powerful Luo family, so he has to wronged Liu Gaoneng, he thought to himself.
On the second day, Su Quan ordered Su Tao to prohibit going out, and even prevented him from seeing Liu Gaoneng.
As soon as Liu Gaoneng came to see Su Tao early, he didn't want the Su house slaves to stop him. Seeing this, he came to talk to Su Quan with a sullen breath. Su Quan sighed repeatedly, he didn't hide it, and told Liu Gaoneng about it 1510, because he couldn't afford to offend Luo Chongwai, and he didn't want to offend the person in front of him.
After Liu Gaoneng heard this, he became even more angry, and said that he was going to Su Tao's room to find her.
"Brother Liu Xian, if you don't think about it, then you should always think about it for Su Tao! Su Quan was also depressed in his heart, and sighed at Liu Gaoneng.
Liu Gaooneng said loudly to Su Quan: "You should think about Su Tao, have you asked Su Tao's opinion!"
Su Quan covered his forehead with his right hand and replied: "What if you ask! Things are not the same, Luo Chong will take the little girl away tomorrow!"
Liu Gaoneng slapped the table, stood up, and took a deep breath to relieve his emotions.
If you want to say that Liu Gaoneng will give up, the answer is very simple, definitely no. He can desperately find Snow Lotus for her, or he can desperately do other things. Liu Gaooneng has already decided, he plans to take Su Tao away, no matter what kind of way Luo Chong comes from, he will also do it.
He walked slowly out of the living room and towards Su Tao's room. Seeing this, Su Quan hurriedly shouted: "Brother Liu Xian! Eh, this matter is that I Su can't stand you, but the matter has come to this point, I hope you don't make it difficult for Su. ”
Liu Gaooneng stopped, and said to Su Quan without looking back: "I have known Su Tao for many days, this time she is going to marry away from home, as a friend, it is not too much for me to see her for the last time." After speaking, he started to walk towards Miss Su's boudoir again.
Seeing this, Su Quan didn't say anything, but just sighed. And when Su Tao learned the news, she almost fainted. How could she be so miserable, because of Liu Gaoneng's arrival, she was just full of expectations for the future, but at this time she fell into a trough again. just made a mountain alliance with Liu Gaoneng, but was broken by a sudden marriage.
She had cried in the room, and she didn't eat a single bite of the food sent by her subordinates. The maid who was waiting around him could only be anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
Liu Gaoneng walked outside Su Tao's room and saw two guards standing outside the room. One Liu Gaoneng is no stranger, because every time he comes to find Su Tao, he can meet him, called Xiaoliu, and the other is a fresh face. Xiao Liu saw that it was Liu Gaoneng, so he greeted him with a smile and said, "Brother Liu, why are you here again." ”
"It's inconvenient for Miss to meet guests now, Master Su has orders, I'm sorry. Xiao Liu said again.
Liu Gaoneng waved his hand and motioned for them to get out of the way, "It's okay, I've already told Brother Su, let me see Miss Su" Because Liu Gaoneng brought back Snow Lotus and saved Su Tao's life, Su Quan was grateful and kept calling him a virtuous brother, so Liu Gaoneng also called Su Quan the eldest brother.
Seeing this, Xiao Liu had no choice but to step aside, but another guard spoke: "Where did you come from, silly boy, is our young lady of the Luo family the one you want to see?" After speaking, he raised his foot, and in less than a second, a leg-shaped wind blade flew towards Liu Gaoneng 'Leg Wind Slash'. At this time, the ability of his guards was unobstructed, but he didn't expect that a guard turned out to be a 3rd grade monk of the wind system.
Seeing this, Liu Gaoneng's body suddenly condensed an ice armor, and a fierce wind blade hit it without the slightest trace. The guard was stunned for a moment, Liu Gaoneng rushed forward in three or two steps, and a right hook hit the guard directly in the face. I saw that the guard flew upside down a meter and fell to the ground, howling miserably.
"You.... You're a monk!" The guard was visibly taken aback. "Hmph," Liu Gaooneng ignored him, pushed the door and walked in.
At this time, Su Tao was there alone, holding his head in both hands, lying on the table and crying. She had been crying all morning, and her tears were about to run dry, but she still couldn't stop, the thought of marrying a strange man, she was more uncomfortable than death, and then thinking of Liu Gaoneng, this psychological uncontrollable sadness.
"Peach," Gao Neng walked up to her and whispered. Su Tao slowly raised his head, and when his lost eyes saw this person, they instantly turned into surprise, but then dimmed again.
Su Tao said with a choked voice: "Gao Neng, I, I'm sorry for you!"
Liu Gao could see Su Tao's delicate face crying so haggardly, and his heart seemed to be twisted by a knife. Distressedly, she hugged Su Tao in front of her, her head leaned on Gao Neng's chest, and whispered to her in her arms: "Taotao, it's not your fault, and it's not the Su family's fault." ”
The two of them looked at each other, and Liu Gaoneng continued: "No matter what happens, the oath I swore to you will never change." When Su Tao heard this, her eyes were full of doubts. She knew the Luo family's status in Yunshui City. Now the son of the Luo family has come to the door in person, so this matter is almost doomed and cannot be changed.
"I'm going to take you away"
"Leave?" Su Tao suddenly felt that a new window had opened in her heart. Yes, we can leave here, leave Longmen County, and go far, far away. Because Su Tao, as a young lady of the Su family, grew up in this mansion since she was a child, it is more traditional. She didn't even have this concept of elopement, so she wouldn't think about it at all.
"You want to take me away?" Su Tao seemed to have grasped the only way to happiness in the future, and hurriedly asked again.
Liu Gaooneng nodded, looked at Su Tao's reaction, and immediately calmed down, knowing that she was definitely willing to go with him, and said with a smile: "Where do you want to go in the future, Taotao, I will take you there, and take you all over the south, south, south, and north." "Liu Gaoneng knows that Su Tao has been at home since he was a child because of his body, and he has always had the heart of 'the world is so big, I want to see it'.
"En" Su Tao suddenly lay in Gao Neng's arms and cried with joy. Liu Gaoneng hugged his beloved woman, and all the sullenness in his heart just now dissipated, and taking Su Tao away was what he had to do next, but how did he feel a little sorry for his father-in-law.
