Three shots on the day.

The competition on the first day of the son-in-law selection conference is gradually coming to an end.

The breeze blew the thin curtain shrouded in the Yingfeng Tower, and the contestants who competed on the high platform and the spectators inside and outside the shed did not know that His Majesty the Emperor had gotten up early and drove back to the palace.

The people who came to watch the game from all the mansions were also preparing to go home.

The first day of the competition seemed to be lively, but the real level of contestants had not yet appeared.

For example, the golden eagle Chai Ming from Dayu, Bailiqi from Beiyan, and many good hands on the rivers and lakes all hope to pick the most difficult flower in the Great Liang Kingdom.

Liu Qiushuang has returned home early.

Today's queen mother and Yue Guifei have made a suggestive woo to Liu Qiushuang, especially the queen mother, who bluntly said that when Liu Qiushuang was usually fine, she came to the palace to chat with her to relieve her boredom.

"Master Hou."

"It seems to be the Liu family's carriage ahead."

Lu Ze, who was about to go home, opened the curtain of the car.

I saw not far in front of the avenue, there was a quaint carriage parked on the road, the logo on the rut seemed to be a pool of clear water, this is the logo of the Yingchuan Liu family, the Liu family was in Yingchuan back against the Qinchuan River, only developed.

The Liu family's carriage was really waiting for Lu Ze.

Soon, a little servant of the Liu family came to report, and the master of his family, Lu Hou, saw him.

Lu Yi reported to Lu Ze in a low voice through the car curtain: "Master Hou, the person who came is the second master of the Liu family." ”

The second master of the Liu family, Liu Ji.

The Yanagi family, the national government, is now very powerful in Kyoto.

There are two principals of the Liu family, called the uncle of the Liu family and the second master, and the uncle is of course Liu Cheng, the Chinese book of today's Liang.

The second master of the Liu family...

Lu Ze instantly realized that it was his maternal grandfather.

"Let's see."

......

Liu Ji looks about fifty years old, and his eyebrows are somewhat similar to the Liu Cheng he saw in Yingfeng Tower today, but Liu Cheng has always been gentle, and the Liu Ji in front of him, who was on an errand in Dali Temple, has an obviously old-fashioned temperament.

Lu Ze carried his hands behind his back, and he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of taking the initiative to say hello or even salute.

When Liu Ji saw Lu Ze like this, his eyebrows were suddenly filled with deep displeasure.

He only felt that his brother's praise for this kid before had a considerable amount of moisture.

Liu Ji snorted coldly: "Don't you know who I am?" ”

The atmosphere in the alley seemed strange.

Lu Ze nodded silently: "Lord Liu, I just took over the position of Zhengqing of Dali Temple the year before last, and I am deeply relied on by Your Majesty and admired for a long time. ”

Liu Ji's face became even more ugly: "Your family didn't teach you etiquette?" ”

The smile on Lu Ze's face slowly disappeared: "Today, Lord Liu specially came to invite Ben Hou. ”

"Regarding the official positions of my dynasty, you and I are at the same level, and you have not seen the courtesy, why do you want the marquis to greet you?"

"If you talk about personal relationships, it's even more impossible to talk about, my mother has cut off the relationship with the Yingchuan Liu family back then, and the Liu family and Wuweihou have not had any contact in the past few decades."

"What is the number of courtesies... Can Lord Liu teach Ben Hou? ”

Hearing this, Liu Ji's face flashed with a hint of gloom.

Today, he deliberately stayed on the way back to the Wuwei Marquis Mansion from the Vermilion Bird Gate, just to see his grandson who he hadn't seen for many years, but this first meeting seemed unkind, and Lu Ze's words looked hurtful, because what he said was the truth.

Only the truth can really hurt people.

"Liufu, there is a wedding banquet next month."

"All the mansions in Kyoto have been invited, and the Marquis of Wuwei can also come to have a happy drink."

After receiving the invitation, Lu Ze's brows furrowed slightly.

After returning home, Lu Ze went directly to the backyard, and after seeing his mother, he handed over the invitation card in his hand, and at the same time told his mother word for word about his conversation with his grandfather in the alley.

Liu Qiushuang looked at the invitation, her eyes full of bitterness.

"Ze'er, the affairs of the previous generation have nothing to do with your generation."

Lu Ze shook his head: "How can it be okay." ”

Liu Qiushuang was reluctant to mention the sad incident in the past, quickly adjusted her mood, looked at the invitation, and said with a smile: "The one who got married is the uncle's youngest grandson, called Liu Nian, and if you count it according to your seniority, you can be regarded as your cousin." ”

"If you want to go, you can go, if you don't, forget it."

Chatting and chatting, the topic turned back to the Liu family.

Liu Qiushuang sighed and said: "Your grandfather's temper is straightforward and unbent when it sounds good, and it stinks when it is unpleasant, so when my mother was young, she preferred to treat my uncle as my own father." Until I met your father later, I wanted to marry your father against the will of the family, and that time I had an ugly quarrel with your grandfather, and finally broke off the relationship with the family in anger. ”

"I actually owe a lot to the Liu family."

Lu Ze ate the afternoon refreshments, and the taste was similar to what he ate at the Empress Dowager's side today.

"I don't owe it."

"My grandfather was able to be the leader of Dali Temple, isn't it the credit of the Marquis of Wuwei?"

Lu Ze said softly: "After my father passed away, the child went to the west, and only then did my grandfather take a step forward in the key position, otherwise in the case of the fierce competition between King Yu and the princelings, how could the Liu family, which has always been as stable as water, occupy such an important position as Dali Temple?" ”

Liu Qiushuang's eyes were full of surprise, and she didn't expect that her son, who led troops to fight at the border, was actually well versed in officialdom.

Lu Ze wiped his hands, picked up this year's spring tea and drank it, and continued: "Of course, this is mainly the meaning of Your Majesty's balance of the court, the three divisions, the Yushitai and the Criminal Department have people who are in charge of the king and the prince, if you let the Dali Temple fall into it, Jinling City will become very smoky." ”

Emperor Liang, of course, is not as suspicious and suspicious as in the original book of Langya Bang.

When Emperor Xiao Xuan of Liang was still a prince, he was able to attract people like Lin Xie and Yan Que to assist, of course, he had his own personal charm.

It's just that with the change of dynasties, a lot of things began to change.

Liu Qiushuang looked at Lu Ze with great admiration: "Yes, it seems that you are very suitable for the situation in Jinling City." ”

Liu Qiushuang mentioned the matter of King Yu and the crown prince, these two can be said to be really sparing no effort to win over the Wuwei Hou Mansion now, compared to the Mei Sect Master of the Jianghu Gang, the Wuwei Hou Mansion is of course a more direct target.

"No matter what the prince promises to King Yu, just accept it all."

"If both families accept it, it means that both families will not be offended."

Liu Qiushuang shook her head: "Isn't this both offended?" What if they ask you to do something for them? ”

Lu Ze smiled dumbly: "The Marquis of Wuwei Mansion is different from the Qingguo Mansion, do those two nobles dare to let me do anything?" In fact, I still wish I could rely on these two backers, and push them for anything in the future. ”

Night soon enveloped Jinling.

Today, the imperial city is particularly lively after dark.

Everywhere in the market is talking about the grand occasion of today's son-in-law selection conference.

The number of applicants this time is unprecedented, and many people who signed up for the competition were eliminated in the audition stage, and only the contestants with good appearances, good facial features, and good family background can only be on the high platform after being verified to be identified.

Ningguohou Mansion, the guest room snow house in the side courtyard.

Mei Changsu looked at the burly man opposite with a faint look in his eyes: "Brother Meng, you shouldn't come to see me." ”

Meng Zhi, the commander of the forbidden army, was full of excitement in his eyes at this moment, so much so that the pair of advantageous tiger palms clenched his fists tightly in front of his legs, and he said in a low voice: "You shouldn't have come to Jinling, do you know how dangerous Jinling City is now?" You directly exposed yourself to King Yu and the crown prince today, you..."

Mei Changsu sighed helplessly: "Brother Meng, I have to come, I have waited for twelve years, and I will not wait any longer." ”

On this day, in Yingfeng Tower, Mei Changsu also met with Meng Zhi, who was in charge of the guard.

That night, the commander of Meng Da came directly to the snow house.

"This county lord's marriage..."

Meng Zhi wanted to speak and stopped.

The old people in Jinling City all knew that the Nihuang County Lord had a marriage contract with Lin Shu of the Lin family, but this marriage contract ended with the Lin family being beaten as rebellious and the thief Kou Linshu dying in Meiling.

Mei Changsu shook his head: "It's all in the past, I was close to Nihuang when I was young, but more than ten years have passed, and many things are difficult to go back, Nihuang has her own way to go, as for this son-in-law selection conference..."

Speaking of this, Mei Changsu's brows furrowed tightly.

This Jiang Zuo Meilang had been in ambush for twelve years, but after coming to Jinling City, he felt that things were out of his control, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"Lu Ze."

"Brother Meng, do you have any thoughts on this young Wuwei Hou?"

Meng Zhi didn't expect Xiao Shu to suddenly mention Lu Ze, at this time he whispered information about Lu Ze, including the Marquis of Wuwei Mansion and this year's great victory in the West, and finally concluded: "He is a very good young man, and he has not yet stepped into the whirlpool of the battle between King Yu and the prince, Xiao Shu, why did you mention him?" ”

Mei Changsu told the truth: "According to my report in Jinling, this Marquis Lu has placed bets in all major gambling houses in Kyoto, and I suspect that the other party even took out the things that His Majesty rewarded in front of the emperor as a bet, betting that he can win the championship of this son-in-law selection conference." ”

Meng Zhi was shocked: "So conceited? ”

Mei Changsu sighed silently.

Aren't you really afraid of losing money at the table?

"Xiaoshu, do you need me to test his martial arts?"

"No, Lu Hou is the one of the Great Liang after all, and he has just made meritorious contributions in the battlefield against Dayu, in fact, he is also very good with Nihuang, but..."

"Just what?"

"Nothing."

Mei Changsu looked at the candle flame burning on the table, and his expression was inexplicable.

It's just that I'm worried that the other party's appetite is far greater than what was shown at this table.

.......

On this day, King Mu's mansion was also lively.

Of course, Mu Xiaowang also appeared in front of the Suzaku Gate on the first day, but after watching half of it, he went home, and on the first day, all the people on stage were some embroidered pillows, and the martial arts were mediocre, and there was nothing to see.

"Sister, there are many children of the family in this son-in-law selection conference, do you think these people can break into the top ten?"

Mu Qing is much more stable in front of her sister.

Since his father died on the battlefield, the entire Yunnan Mu Wangfu has completely relied on her sister to support her, so that she is not married at such an old age, and Mu Qing also hopes that her sister can find someone who belongs to her.

I just don't know what kind of gorgeous character should be able to subdue this phoenix?

The Nihuang County Lord was dressed in a white long dress, which looked a little more of her daughter's temperament, and she shook her head: "No matter who enters the finals, they still have to fight me in the end." ”

"What if you really lose, sister?"

"Then I'll marry him."

"What will happen to the 100,000 iron horsemen in Yunnan after that?"

"Of course you're going to hold it up."

An obvious look of sadness appeared on Mu Qing's face: "But what if I can't hold it up?" ”

Nihuang looked at his brother with a calm face: "The situation in the Marquis of Wuwei Mansion is similar to my Mu Wangfu, why can Marquis Lu be able to kill countless enemies in the west after taking over the title, you still have my eldest sister by your side to support, 100,000 iron horsemen are only ordered by the Mu Palace, and your surname is Mu, and you are the only descendant of the palace." ”

Mu Qing took a deep breath: "I will." ”

The Nihuang County Lord continued: "You really should learn more from that Lu Hou, but you should not go to the kind of place where the Red Sleeve Move. ”

When Mu Qing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

"Find a time these days, you and I will go to the Wuwei Hou Mansion to visit, I heard that Mrs. Wuwei Hou was also a good marksmanship when she was young, but it's a pity that the back..."

......

As the son-in-law selection conference progressed, the atmosphere became more and more hot.

The well-known masters gradually began to take the stage, among which the golden eagle Chai Ming from Dayu defeated the enemy with ten moves of a sharp fist, and Lu Ze also watched the battle in the brocade shed that day, and after the victory, the golden eagle Chai Ming also looked in the direction of Lu Ze as if demonstrating.

Lu Ze said lazily: "Silly bird." ”

Although the distance between the two of them was very long, the golden eagle Chai Ming could still read the two words that Lu Ze's lips were talking about.

His face suddenly turned pale, and he just wanted to speak, but he heard the referee's voice on the stage: "Why don't you go down?" ”

Golden Eagle Chai Ming snorted, and then stepped down.

"Wait."

"I'll hold you on stage with my own hands, stinky boy."

Lu Ze also took the stage for the first time that day.

In fact, there were so many people gathered in front of the Suzaku Gate today, and most of them came to see Lu Ze.

During this time, Lu Ze was famous in Jinling, in addition to his military exploits and holy dependents, this Marquis Lu had many experiences that were difficult for ordinary people to touch at a young age, and the storytellers in the tea shops were all talking about the news of the great victory in the west, so that the Dayu Mission did not show up much during this time.

Throwing yourself on the street in disgrace is pretty much what it means.

In fact, since the Chiyan case, Dayu has breathed a sigh of relief, and over the years, he was thinking of accumulating strength and giving Daliang a heavy blow, but he was awakened by Lu Ze with a stick from the sleeping dreams of many Dayu people.

- Wow!

As Lu Ze took the stage, the audience instantly burst into enthusiastic shouts.

For example, in the ball league, the side fighting at home always has the blessing of various buffs, and Lu Ze came to the stage with a graceful demeanor, attracting cheers and applause from the people.

On the side of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, Yan Yujin looked at Lu Ze's appearance like this.

"This..."

"That's the perfect appearance I wanted to design!"

By his side, Mei Changsu looked solemn.

Let me see what your martial arts are.
