Chapter 183: Rite of Passage?
Chapter 183: Rites of Passage?
When Leng Zhong heard Leng Zhuo say this, he also stopped, turned around, sat on the chair, and said, "I'm afraid that the young master will be clear, and he won't be able to sleep this night!"
"I know it's tricky, but I don't know how far it is, second grandpa, tell me from the beginning! I know it clearly, so I can think of a solution!" Leng Zhuo said.
"En!" Leng Zhong nodded and said, "The matter has to start from a month ago, according to your arrangement, young master, we have been arranging for barbarians to go to the nearby noble territory to disturb during this time, so that they will not find anything unusual!
"But in the middle of August, some relatives from the Xing family came, who were from the family of the Viscountess of Xing, these people were bored in the city, so they ran to the fiefdom, and then they didn't know what to think, they had to go into the wild jungle to hunt, so these young masters of the Lu family of the Xing family, Sister Xiǎo, took the servants into the forest!"
"We arranged for the barbarians to come forward to obstruct it, but we didn't want these xiǎo guys to be not afraid, but instead surrounded them, their group of people had psychics and their entourage was also very powerful, and the patrol team arranged was not an opponent, so they could only flee into the forest to call for help, and they ran into Sister Sophia xiǎo!
"The old slave found out about the Xingjia Xingchen Young Master, and he knew that things were not good, but these people have discovered our secrets, and they have also seen the NV warriors brought by Sister Sophia Xiǎo, this matter can't be concealed, and the identities of these people are also very sensitive!"
"Especially those young masters of the Lu family, Sister Xiǎo, although they are only branches of the Lu family, they have long been separated from the main family, but they are also local county leaders, and there are also some officials in the family, especially there is a big tree of the Lu family behind it, if something happens, the Xing family and the Lu family will not give up!
"What did you do with it later!"
"What else can I do, our secrets have been broken by these people, and they will definitely spread after we go back, once the matter is publicized, our affairs will be in vain, so we can only write a letter in the name of the young master, and say that a few people will live in our fiefdom for a few days, and at the same time notify the master, Uncle Nan, and let them contact the Chen family, and the three families will sit together to discuss what to do!"
"And then?"
Leng Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I do, Marquis Chen personally rushed over, plus your grandfather, the old earl of Nan invited the head of the Xing family, Viscount Xingfan, to find out the matter, and let the Xing family also join in, of course, there is also the Lu family! After all, it is related to the Lu family, and other means cannot be used!"
Leng Zhuo understands that if it is just the Xing family, and the Xing family does not marry the Lu family, then it is also a way to let the barbarians destroy the Xing family, but the bad thing is that the Lu family is implicated, although it is a branch of the Lu family, but it is also within five generations, the family tree, if someone is inexplicably wiped out, the Lu family will definitely not sit idly by.
Although the Chen family is a marquis, but compared to the Lu family, I don't know how much, this is the foundation, not ten or twenty years can be accumulated, and it seems that cooperation is already the only choice that can be made, with interests connected, the two will naturally keep secrets, but this will affect the interests of the three families who have already made an agreement.
"This matter should be settled, right?" Leng Zhuo said.
"It's still being resolved, after all, if you join two more families, the division of interests will have to be redivided, and the Lu family can't only have a few xiǎo generations on the Lu family's side, so you can only let the Xing family invite the head of the Lu family to come over, this time comes and goes, and it takes a lot of time, so the negotiation is in Nanxing City, and the xiǎo generations of the Xing and Lu families are still in the fiefdom, waiting for the matter to be negotiated, and then they will be put back!"
Although something went wrong, the matter was finally resolved, and even if Leng Zhuo was there, after weighing it, he could only make the same choice, which was also a helpless thing, although the matter of the Jinhe Waterway would be violent sooner or later, but Leng Zhuo didn't want to be violent right now, the Leng family's strength was still weak, and it took time to grow, so the longer it could be concealed, the better, so it would be in the interests of the Leng family.
"What about the other one? I heard that it was sent by the Wei Guo family? What did you say?" Speaking of which, Leng Zhuo still felt that he was sorry for Wei Guang, in the academy, he could be regarded as taking very good care of himself, this is not counting, how much determination does it take to marry the baby Sun NV into such a broken household as the Leng family, and he ran away from the marriage, which is a slap in the face of the Wei family in public.
Leng Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Some time ago, the old man sent a letter to the imperial capital, telling him about the return of the young master to the fiefdom, so that he should not look for it, the old man has not bowed his head to others for decades and admitted his mistakes, but this time he bowed his head to the Wei family, admitted his mistakes, and asked for forgiveness over there!"
Leng Zhuo obviously didn't know that there was such a stubble during this period, frowned slightly, and said, "Then what did the person sent by the Wei family bring!"
"Speaking of which, Old Man Wei and our old man are life-saving jiāo love, don't look at how many years the two have not interacted, but this heart has been thinking about it, every New Year's holiday, the Wei family is all prepared for gifts, not a year!"
"Old man Wei heard that after the old man was injured in Qingzhou, he couldn't afford to be sick after coming back, and he didn't feel good in two years, so Old man Wei planned to come over and talk to the old man in person!"
"What!" Leng Zhuo listened, thinking that his ears had heard it wrong, and said, "You said that Duke Wei Guo wants to come to Chuzhou in person?"
"Well, the messenger came out in advance, Old Man Wei may go to Yangzhou first, and then he will come to us, count the days, at the end of this month, and the beginning of next month!"
"He, the dean, doesn't need to stay in the academy, he has nothing to do with Chuzhou, this is thousands of miles away, isn't this not a bad job!" Leng Zhuo was also a little crying and laughing, girl, if this Wei Guogong comes, how can he go to meet people, it's strange that he hasn't been beaten to death by him!
Leng Zhong was also laughed at by Leng Zhuo, and said: "Shengtian Academy has its own charter, and there are many vice deans in the academy, it's okay if he's not there, not to mention that he, the dean, has rarely taken care of the affairs of the academy in recent years, he is the emperor's canonized head of Youyun, and he has fought several battles against Hu Ren in the past two years!"
Leng Zhuo patted his forehead and said, "Okay, he comes to his, I'll go mine, just hide!"
"Young Master Xiǎo, the master has spoken, you can't leave again when you come back this time, and because you haven't come back before, the original coming-of-age ceremony has been postponed, so you have to stay in the territory for a while!"
"Rite of passage?" Leng Zhuo was stunned for a moment, isn't it, unconsciously, it has come to this year, last year he was seventeen, this year he is eighteen, and he has reached the age of adulthood.
"Well, the coming-of-age ceremony, it was originally planned to be on the young master's birthday, but you didn't come back, ran to Yangzhou, this delay is two months, can't be delayed, this is a very important ceremony, after completing the coming-of-age ceremony, the lord plans to set you as the heir to the title, and is ready to pass the title to the young master in advance!"
"Ah! The old man's body is not still healthy, what are you doing in such a hurry! Besides, this rumor, the title has been lowered by one notch!"
"The master is planning to enjoy the blessings, and the young master's achievements in the past half a year are obvious to all, and it is time for us old guys to give up their places to young people!"
"You don't have to be in such a hurry to pass on the title, and at my age, I'm not suitable to be the head of the family, you talk to him, and say that you will talk about this matter in two years!"
"Well, there is one more thing to tell the young master, after the coming-of-age ceremony is over, you will have to choose a lady for the young master, the branches and leaves of the Leng family are not prosperous, and it all depends on the young master, you will spread the branches!"
Uh, Leng Zhuo was speechless, why are you in such a hurry to get married, Young Master Ben plans to be single for two years, and Young Master Ben hasn't enjoyed it yet.
"Okay, young master sleep, I won't disturb the young master's rest here!" Leng Zhong saw Leng Zhuo's speechless face, and left with a smile.
Marry a wife, who to marry, if you have to say one, he wants to marry Nangong Yùhu as a big wife, but unfortunately it is a little difficult, as for the rest, Li Yaer is closest to him, but the identity of the other party determines that she cannot become a big lady, Sophia, but she has a skin-to-skin relationship with him, but Sophia has the blood of a barbarian in her body, and it is a little difficult to even marry a Xiǎo wife.
You Ji, it's worse than Sophia, how can Sophia say that she is still a normal person, You Ji said that she is half human and half snake, who else, Wang Ruotong, is counted as one, but in the same way, if you have no background, you can't be big.
Orange sword white frost Leng Zhuo sighed, how could he think of this girl, it seems to be good, and she is from the mén genre and has a status, but she is a candidate for a wife, but there is a problem, the two are not very familiar, and even when the lie is exposed, it is not necessary to demean the enemy.
It won't be the girl of the Nan family, although that girl is cute, but as a wife, Leng Zhuo really can't accept it, she doesn't have that temperament, she can't control people.
Leng Zhuo was lying on the chuáng, Hu Siluàn thought, girl, there seem to be a lot of NV people around, but there is no suitable candidate for a big wife, Nangong Yù Fox, if you can get her, it is a good choice, but this difficulty is a bit high, it's not easy to do!
And on Taihu Lake, I almost didn't kill her, I guess she can't eat his ròu now, girl, this girl knows his identity, Leng Zhuo suddenly sat up, she won't kill here.
Well, it shouldn't be, she's not such an idle person, she still has to go to the academy, she is not the dean of Wei Guang, she can open a random errand, Leng Zhuo comforted herself, but if she really found it, or exposed his identity!
This night is destined to be a sleepless night!
