Chapter 249: Young Castle Lord, Quasi-Brother-in-law
Somewhere in the forest, six young people sat together, the wild deer on the bonfire were already scorched, and several people were drinking and feasting.
Six people, four men and two women, a rustic young man dressed as a hunter was in charge of the barbecue, and the sturdy guards on the opposite side were vigilant all around, no matter what they were eating and drinking.
The two older women were in their early twenties, dressed in well-fitting white hunting suits, the younger being at most sixteen or seventeen, and the pink hunting suits on their bodies were stained with a lot of dust and grass clippings, and they didn't look like a peaceful master.
The older woman glanced at the thin young man diagonally opposite from time to time, with spring eyebrows at the corners of her mouth, while the younger one looked at the woman and then at the thin young man, secretly exchanging glances frequently with the heroic young man who was dressed in strong clothes.
Suddenly, the thin young man put down the meat cleaver, sat upright, picked up the wine bag and pretended to be a young man: "Lu can taste this delicious today, it all depends on Lord Han Shaobao, Lu is very lucky, I will toast you again!"
Before Lord Han Shaobao could speak, the woman in the white hunting suit immediately took over the conversation, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Oh, Brother Lu, you are wrong again." We use wine bags, how can we say 'cup'?
The man surnamed Lu shook his head with a wry smile, and asked rhetorically, "Don't talk about cups, what words do you use?"
The woman didn't have an idea, but she just said like a catch-up, so she said coquettishly: "The little girl is only a shallow learner, where do you know what words to use, you have to think for yourself, Brother Lu." You are a famous talent in our Dongping County, who doesn't know your Lu Wenguang's name? This little question can't bother you, right?"
The woman leaned forward slightly when she spoke, not hiding her admiration at all, and there was a hint of fiery eyes in her shyness that aroused reverie, and the most eye-catching thing was her clothes, which were so fitting that they were so tight at the moment that her chest was extremely swollen.
Lu Wenguang is a scholar, but he is also a man, his eyes involuntarily poked down, his face was hot and hurriedly staggered, his mind was full of the pair of bulges, and he was speechless for a while.
"Okay, Yu'er, don't play with Brother Changzhi. It's easy to speak, as long as you understand the meaning, why bother with words?"
Han Shaobao patted the woman, picked up the wine bag and raised it at Lu Wenguang: "Brother Changzhi, Yu'er has no malicious intentions, please bear with me." Come, I'll toast you!"
"Where, where, how dare you!"
Lu Wenguang hurriedly picked up the wine bag and took a big sip, drinking so violently that he coughed and shivered, his face was red, and he didn't know if it was really all because of the wine.
Putting down the wine and taking a piece of venison handed over by Yu'er in a gesture of apology, Lu Wenguang smiled and said: "Miss Han is a heroine among women, and she is quick to talk and has a good temperament, how can Lu blame her! Don't look at me as a scholar who doesn't know martial arts, and his words and deeds are sometimes quite pedantic, but Lu likes to deal with cheerful people the most, for example, for example..."
"Like my sister, right?" the girl in pink hugged Han Yuluo's arm and said loudly.
Everyone immediately laughed, Lu Wenguang was anxious, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, how could it be..."
"Isn't it?" The girl nodded suddenly, shook Han Yuluo's arm and said seriously, "Sister, Lu Gongzi lied to you, he praised you for his coolness on the front foot, and he didn't admit it on the back foot, this kind of person can't have much to do with him!"
The laughter was even stronger, Lu Wenguang was about to vomit blood in a hurry, Han Yuluo wanted to help him, but it was about herself, Rao was so spicy that she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to say anything at the moment, but in the end, Lord Han Shaobao couldn't stand it and took over the conversation.
"Ru'er, Hugh is messing around, talk nonsense again, be careful not to take you next time you come out!"
"Don't, brother, it's not okay if I'm wrong!"
Han Ruluo hurriedly ran to Han Shaobao's side to be coquettish, and her coquettish appearance caused a burst of laughter.
Lu Wenguang also smiled, his heart was greatly relieved, he glanced at Han Shaobao Lord gratefully, and secretly looked at Han Yuluo, it happened that Han Yuluo also looked over, and his eyes met and moved, although they looked at each other, but the shame in their hearts was average.
Lord Han Shaobao saw it in his eyes, nodded secretly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger.
His name is Han Zhixing, and he is the famous young lord of Jiyun Fort in Dongping County, which is one of the three major horse farms in this county, specializing in supplying war horses to the imperial court and the government army of princes and magnates, and has a history of more than 700 years.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Han family sits on a huge horse farm, with unlimited scenery, only the Han family themselves know their own predicament, in the eyes of those big people, they are a horse breeder, no matter how big the official position is, they are just a horse herd.
In order to change this dilemma and become one of the top nobles of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the Han family has been working hard, but no matter how hard they try, they have proved an old saying - dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, the sons of mice can make holes, and the descendants of wranglers are really not good at raising horses.
Tianyuan is still martial, and the descendants of the Han family all practice martial arts, but in the past 700 years, except for one ancestor who has cultivated to the Divine Treasure for nine lifetimes, the rest of them can't even enter the innate realm.
If you can't do it, then come to the text, the road is facing the sky, and you can grab it with both hands.
The poor descendants of the Han family are all born with martial arts and strength, and those who can contribute can close their eyes and grasp a handful, and those who can read...
The famous gentleman of Dongping County, no matter how many people give money, he will not come, he is afraid of a bad reputation, and he will scold you and insult his reputation.
The Han family is so bitter in their hearts, their own children are "not successful", what should they do?
Recruit from the outside!
In their minds, people are the same as horses, and if they are not good, they must be eliminated, but horses can not be banished, so they can only start from improvement and introduce excellent talents to improve their own bloodlines, so marriage has always been the most important issue for the castle lords of the past dynasties.
The idea is good, but it is also difficult to realize, especially to recruit warriors.
In the territory of Tianyuan, all the warriors who have a little ability either serve the imperial court or belong to the various rivers and lakes sects, there are very few people who have no door and no power, and some people don't look down on the Han family, and these people dig deeper, nine times out of ten they have a lot to do with the first two, and the Han family wants to compete with them, it's difficult!
If the Han family had the martial arts background of the Feng family, they naturally didn't have to worry, but they didn't, so their main target could only be placed on the literati.
Compared with the martial arts, the difficulty of recruiting literati is not much smaller, most of the scholars are high, and the Han family can't look down on those fake and high-dressed beasts, so the Han family targets the poor students who have not yet entered the government and have just entered the office.
As long as you have the ability and high potential, even if your ancestors are beggars for five generations, it is no problem, the Han family does not care, and is willing to marry you, and contribute money and efforts to help you complete your studies and have a good future after entering the office. 18
Of course, if you are really poor like this, if you want to get married, you can get rich, and your surname can not be changed, but the future child will have the surname Han.
Relying on this hand, the Han family really brought out a lot of court officials, although there is no big member, basically they are magistrates such as magistrates, but they are so good that they can speak locally, and after generations of business accumulation, they have also formed a lot of contacts, and the Han family has entered the second-class elite circle of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
Today is also for the marriage of his eldest sister Han Yuluo, and the object is Lu Wenguang in front of him.
This person was born in a merchant family, and there is no one in the family who can study and practice martial arts except him, and I don't know how many lifetimes of Gao Xiang has produced him as a scholar, and his talent is really not small.
The old man of the Han family has a good eye, and he has a lot of help when he is studying, and he is really competitive, he has been studying hard for more than ten years, and he won the middle school in one fell swoop last fall, and he will go to Beijing to take the exam next month.
According to his teacher, he is difficult to get a first class this time, and the second class is still not a big problem, if the topic is suitable and then play extraordinarily, the first class is not impossible to hope for.
Hearing this news, Lu Jiale was broken, and Old Man Han was even more happy, so he immediately sent someone to communicate and discuss the marriage of the two families.
The investment is rewarded, not to mention that Old Man Han started so early, because of Old Man Han's love, because of the strength of the Han family, and even more for the delicate and lovely Han Yuluo, who refused to discuss marriage after waiting for his son for so many years, the Lu family almost agreed without thinking about it.
But Lu Wenguang objected, and he insisted on discussing family affairs after gaining fame.
People who don't know must think that he is ungrateful, but the Han family is not, the old man Han is tantamount to watching this child grow up, knowing that he is worried that the two families are not compatible, afraid that outsiders will poke his backbone and ruin his reputation as a scholar, and he is also afraid that he will wronged his daughter if he is not famous.
So Mr. Han agreed generously, and also said that whether he passed the test or not, he would do it.
Lu Wenguang was moved, he is a smart person, naturally he will not maintain the face of his scholars, but no matter how smart he is, he has never figured out one thing - the Han family doesn't care how big an official he can be in the future if he gets the exam or not, the most essential purpose of the Han family is to improve his poor bloodline that is only good at raising horses, and when his daughters, granddaughters and other female descendants grow up, he will send someone to marry them all back to the Han family.
Old man Han was willing, but Han Zhixing, the eldest brother, was not very satisfied, he felt that his prospective brother-in-law was too pedantic.
But this is not bad, at least it shows that the prospective brother-in-law is a motivated, if he can really enter the second class, his own family will find a way to fight up and down to stay in the Privy Council as an editor, and climb up little by little, it may not be impossible to become an important minister in the future.
Speaking of which, there has never been an official above the fifth grade in the Han family's pedigree, I hope this prospective brother-in-law can add a touch.
Nibbled on the meat, took a sip of wine, and looked at Lu Wenguang and Han Yuluo's eyebrows, Han Zhixing's heart became more and more happy.
Today's play is to enhance the relationship between the two, so as not to let Lu Wenguang enter Beijing next month and be blinded by the prosperity of the imperial capital, and give birth to branches.
This is not unfounded, Han Zhixing has been to the imperial capital, he is also a young master, a person who has seen the world, and he thinks that the imperial capital is not much better than the Dongping County Government, but when he arrived, he realized that he was wrong, and he almost didn't want to come back with his determination.
At present, it seems that the progress is good, Lu Wenguang is determined, otherwise it would not be possible to not even have a girl in the room for so many years, as long as he has an eldest sister in his heart and can hold it, even if there are some flowers and plants, it is nothing, as long as he can't delay the family affairs.
After chatting for a while, the topic slowly turned back to eating, and Lu Wenguang sighed with emotion: "Speaking of this deer, Xiaosheng opened his eyes today, I didn't expect that such a fierce beast and young castle master could be tamed, it's really unimaginable, when I first saw it, my lower legs were trembling." ”
Han Zhixing laughed and sighed: "It's just a big autumn and a small autumn, the tooth king even bit me at first, and I was taught a few times before he was honest." But this guy is too smart, almost as smart as a human being, and he will repay him, unless I personally order it, anyone who wants to provoke it, it will find a way to retaliate if it can't beat it, and I don't dare to let it out. No, as soon as I took it out today, there was no shadow, but this guy has a little conscience, and he knows that he will catch a deer and come back to beg me for mercy, do you think it's smart?"
"It's really smart. Lu Wenguang nodded, looked around and said, "But I haven't seen their shadows for so long, nothing will happen, right?"
"How is it possible!" Han Ruluo was very unhappy and said loudly, "The Tooth King is the most powerful, and the five black bears can't beat it! My father said that even if the innate master is not prepared, it will be a dead end if he encounters him!"
"Ru'er!"
Han Zhixing glared, Han Ruluo immediately shrank her head and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not wrong, you know that I am murdered." ”
Han Zhixing smiled bitterly, shook his head and explained to Lu Wenguang: "Before it leaves, I asked it not to run around and look for the horse king here." It is said that a sacred steed came running from nowhere in this forest, and many people have seen it in the past two years, saying that it runs faster than the wind and has greater strength than a bear, and some people even say that it also eats meat. Anyway, let it go, let it look for it along the way, in case there is one, when the time comes, catch it back to Jiyun Castle, or in a few years, I will have another batch of good horses in Jiyun Castle, and I will die of those guys in Feiliu Fort and Mawangzhuang!"
Feiliubao and Mawangzhuang are the other two major horse farms in Dongping County, the three are harmonious on the surface, and they have been competing in secret, but the gap is too small to distinguish the winner from the loser, and the first seat sits in turns.
Now, if he can catch a good horse to block the two families, Han Zhixing will naturally be happy, and this is another important reason why he is here today.
"I seem to have heard a roar just now, they won't eat it, right?" Lu Wenguang was a little worried.
"Don't worry, no, they won't dare to eat without my orders. Han Branch waved his hand, "The roar just now belongs to the Tooth King, it is informing me that I have found a target, and I will bring it back when I have enough toss in a while." It's okay to save me the trouble of taming it myself, and I just hope that the Tooth King doesn't 'try' too hard and scares the horse to death." ”
Lu Wenguang thought so, the behemoth of the Tooth King who was standing was a head taller than a normal person, not to mention the horse, the elephant had to be scared when it came, and it was very likely that he would be scared to death if he suddenly bumped into it.
Raising the wine bag and was about to continue to warm up with Lu Wenguang, a miserable howl suddenly floated from the woods, the distance was too far and the sound was very weak, but Han Zhixing still heard that it was his favorite pet, and his color suddenly changed.
"Yu'er Ru'er, you stay with Brother Han, Saddle, let's go!"
"Yes, young master!"
The guard answered, grabbed his long knife and whistled, and the two healthy horses immediately jumped out of the woods and ran over.
The two flew on their horses and disappeared into the woods in a blink of an eye, Han Ruluo looked at Lu Wenguang, then at her sister, and blinked: "There's a good show, I'm going to watch it, sister, you accompany Han Gongzi!"
After calling his horse and leaving, Han Yuluo and Lu Wenguang stared at each other for a long time, and got up at the same time, the former kicked the eyeless Orion boy: "Let's go, let's go too, go and lead me and Han Gongzi's horses over!"
"Yes, miss. ”
The young man got up and left, and for a while only the two of them were left alone, looking at each other silently, each ashamed and happy, silent is better than sound.
