Chapter Forty-Eight: Door-to-door Proposal

It was getting dark......

After Zhao Zichuan finished talking to Master Xuankong in the Bianliang Temple, he hurried home......

"Third Young Master, you're finally back...... a servant at the gate of the Zhao Mansion said, "Third Young Master, I have your letter today." ”

"Letter?" Zhao Zichuan wondered, "Who sent the letter?"

The servant said, "I don't know, it seems to be a friend of the third young master." ”

"Friend?" Zhao Zichuan lowered his head and thought about it, not knowing which friend would write to him at this time, unless it was a more urgent matter and he couldn't meet him, at this time, an inexplicable thought came to his heart.

So, Zhao Zichuan didn't say hello to his parents, so he hurriedly took the letter and returned to his room......

"This is ......" Zhao Zichuan looked at the letter, his eyes widened and he said in surprise, "This is Huang Ji...... Letters from the Huang brothers. ”

When Zhao Zichuan was reading the letter, suddenly a person walked in outside Zhao Zichuan's door. When Zhao Zichuan saw it, he suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Second ...... Second brother, why are you here?"

"I heard that a friend wrote to you today...... it turned out to be Zhao Zichuan's second brother Zhao Zibo, Zhao Zibo said to Zhao Zichuan who was reading the letter, "Seeing that you are in such a hurry to go back to the room and don't even eat, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Zichuan finished reading the letter, thought about it, and seemed to be hesitant to tell Zhao Zibo the contents of the letter.

Zhao Zibo saw Zhao Zichuan's melancholy face, and then asked, "Is there something wrong with your friend?"

"I'm not sure ......" Zhao Zichuan was still determined to tell Zhao Zibo in his thoughts.

"What are you not sure about?" Zhao Zibo said with a puzzled expression, "What happened, who wrote this letter?"

Zhao Zichuan said slowly: "Yes...... Huang Ji. ”

"Huang Ji?" Hearing the name of "Huang Ji", Zhao Zibo also exclaimed, "Third brother, didn't you say that you rarely see him? Why, he will suddenly take the initiative to write to you today, could it be that he has encountered some trouble and needs your help?"

"It's not that he's in trouble...... Zhao Zichuan raised his head and said slowly, "It's Lu Fu...... And it's not sure what will happen. ”

"I'm not sure you look nervous?" Zhao Zibo asked again.

"Because ......," Zhao Zichuan continued, "it has something to do with the Nangong family!"

"Nangong?" Zhao Zibo heard "Nangong", and he was nervous with others.

The original story of the matter was really the last time in the "Drunken Fragrance Building", Huang Ji and Nangong Zhun had a big fight, and Zuihou Nangong Zhun's words made Huang Ji suspicious. Huang Ji was not worried about what the Lu Mansion would have with the Nangong family, so he wrote a letter to Zhao Zichuan, who had a very close relationship with the Lu Mansion......

Anyway, Tang Zhan's side, after saving Luyun in the restaurant, and hearing the words of the Nangong family, Tang Zhan couldn't let go of Lu Jing, who was in the Lu Mansion without knowing it, so he hurriedly returned to the Lu Mansion with Lu Yun......

After setting up the green cloud, Tang Zhan first ran back to his room.

"Squeak-", as soon as the door opened, Tang Zhan was hesitating, when suddenly a huge object was pressed down from above the door frame, and it pressed heavily on Tang Zhan's back.

"Ahh

Just when Tang Zhan was still unconscious, a voice like a silver bell suddenly came from outside the door: "Stinky fool, why did you come back so late?"

As soon as these words came out, who was Lu Jing, the eldest lady of the Lu family? Tang Zhan knew that it was Lu Jing, so he carried a sandbag and said stupidly: "Jing'er, okay...... It's so heavy!"

Lu Jing's nature is to love the whole person, seeing Tang Zhan's pitiful appearance, Lu Jing pretended to be willful and said: "Say it quickly, why did you come back so late?"

Tang Zhan slowly put down the sandbag and replied honestly, "I met Lu Yun in the restaurant, and I brought her back by the way." ”

Lu Jing's eyes rolled, and then she asked, "You also saw Murong Ying in the restaurant, right?"

"Jing ...... How does Jing'er know?" Tang Zhan asked stupidly as he was innocent by nature.

Lu Jing replied with a smile: "How do I know? Hmph, I know that if you go out alone, you will definitely cause trouble...... I asked Linglong to pick you up at the Bianliang Temple, and she said she saw you and Luyun in a nearby restaurant, and you got into a fight with some people. ”

Tang Zhan knew that he couldn't hide anything from Lu Jing, so he replied sincerely: "It was the people of the Nangong family who were disrespectful to Miss Green Cloud first, and I had to go to save Green Cloud first." ”

"Give you a day off, you will cause me a big trouble and come back, and ......" Lu Jing said angrily again, "Hmph, you still hooked up with the eldest lady of the Murong family!"

"I ...... I didn't!" Tang Zhan immediately shook his head.

Lu Jing knew that Tang Zhan was innocent and would not lie to himself, but he still pretended to be angry and said: "Hmph, you men are the most attentive, and when you see beautiful girls, you salivate one by one......"

"I really didn't ......," Tang Zhan still explained, "I just helped Miss Murong teach those gentlemen a lesson...... But then again, it's really good for Miss Murong to stretch out her hand, and it's also very bold......"

"Look at your beauty, the left mouth 'Murong girl', the right mouth 'Murong girl' ......" Lu Jing still said with a straight face, "The people of Nangong Murong's family are not good things, don't be fooled by their appearance, originally this time Zhao Zichuan asked you to accompany him to Bianliang Temple, I didn't agree, because Nangong Jun and Murong Fei were also there......"

"They're not as bad as you think, Jing'er. Tang Zhan still said patiently.

Lu Jing turned around and said to Tang Zhan: "Fool, you are too innocent to know the sinister nature of this river and lake. Nangong Murong Ming has been fighting in secret for so many years, I have long been familiar with my character, and you are so stupid, I am really worried about you. ”

"This ......" Tang Zhan was stupid and listened to Lu Jing for everything, so he was also skeptical about it, "That...... What to do?"

Lu Jing pinched Tang Zhan's face and said, "You, in the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to take the initiative to talk to the people of the Nangong Murong family, do you hear?"

Tang Zhan's face was distorted, and he said stupidly, "Listen...... Hear me!"

Looking at Tang Zhan's stupid appearance of being pinched, Lu Jing couldn't help laughing again: "That's right, just be happy......" said while pinching Tang Zhan's face.

Tang Zhan was pinched on the side, and it was not easy to do anything. Seeing Lu Jing playing with him cordially, and looking at him with a smile on his face, Tang Zhan's face couldn't help but turn red, and his heartbeat was a little faster, but he was slightly embarrassed, so he had to laugh with Lu Jing.

"That's right, smile more, it's good to be happy every day......" Lu Jing let go of her hand and asked Tang Zhan again, "By the way, stupid, is there something wrong with seeing you running back in such a hurry?"

After joking with Lu Jing for a while, Tang Zhan remembered that he had something serious to inform Lu Jing. Tang Zhan stood up straight and said to Lu Jing: "Yes, I forgot to say it, in fact, Jing'er, there is a very important matter this time...... The people of the Nangong family said, Jing'er, you are about to become a member of the Nangong family, I don't know what it means?"

"What did you say?" Lu Jing listened to Tang Zhan's words, and immediately said with a nervous face, "What did you just say, stupid?"

Tang Zhan saw the reaction on Lu Jing's face and knew that things might not be simple, so he said: "When I said, 'Miss Green Cloud is the person next to you, Jing'er', those people said, 'Jing'er, you will soon become a member of the Nangong family'......"

Lu Jing heard this, and thought that Tang Zhan would not offend the people of the Nangong family, so he asked again: "Is it because you are a fool that you offended them, that they said this?"

Tang Zhan replied: "Listening to their tone, it seems that this is the case before, and I don't have to offend them...... Relationship. Tang Zhan said by himself, and he also had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

"The Nangong family is looking for me, there may be real trouble now......" Lu Jing lowered her head and muttered.

"What's the trouble?" Tang Zhan said with a puzzled expression......

"Sister Lu, Brother Tang......" A woman's voice came from behind.

"It's Linglong's voice!" Lu Jing said loudly after hearing it.

Tang Zhan heard it and looked back.

"Sister Lu, Brother Tang!" This time the voice was very clear, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing looked at the same time, Linglong's expression was a little panicked, and he was a little out of breath when he ran, as if there was something urgent.

"Sister Lu, don't ...... Oh no......" Linglong ran to Lu Jing and Tang Zhan, panting, "Out of ...... Something went wrong......"

"What's wrong, Linglong?" Lu Jing saw Linglong's hurried appearance and asked with concern, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and said casually: "Just now...... Just now, Nangong, the fourth son of the Nangong family, came to the door with a congratulatory gift and said...... said that he wanted to propose to Sister Lu!"

When Lu Jing heard this, her face changed suddenly, and she said to herself: "Damn, I really have something to do with the people of the Nangong family......

"Is there something that has happened?" Tang Zhan asked in confusion as he listened and understood on the side.

Lu Jing stood in place and thought for a while, and then said: "The people of the Nangong family want to marry our Lu family by virtue of their power and power, and I don't know if my father and mother will agree to this family business...... No, I've got to hurry over, or I'll be ...... late."

After speaking, Lu Jing ran towards the main hall in a hurry. "Jing'er, Jing'er......" Tang Zhan shouted loudly behind, but Lu Jing didn't respond, and quickly ran out of his yard......

In the main hall of the Lu family compound......

"Please also consider the ......" There was a handsome boy sitting in the hall, and there were several boxes of congratulatory gifts behind him, only to hear him say, "I, Nangong Zheng, swear to the sky, I am sincere to Ling's love! As long as the marriage is formed, the two families will be one from now on; whatever the Lu family needs, our Nangong family will definitely take care of it!" This person is Nangong Zheng, the fourth son of Nangong.

"It is Lu's honor for your son to come to the cold house!" Lu Jing's father, Lu Zhanhong, sat in the hall and said, "The marriage between the two families is naturally not a problem, but the little girl's personality is too wild, I'm afraid it will ......."

Nangong Zheng listened and said with a smile: "Heh, it's okay, when I become a wife's wife and mother, I want to change my character of love." ”

Lu Zhanhong thought about it after hearing this, nodded, and seemed to agree. Ruan Cuiying, who was on the side, that is, Lu Jing's mother, chuckled and said, "I haven't gotten Jing'er's consent yet, is this good, master?"

"Jing'er is almost seventeen years old, and it's time to get married......," Lu Zhanhong said, "I said earlier, a woman has always been from her parents, and she has no reason to refuse......"

"Who said that?" Just as everyone was talking, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door - it was Lu Jing. Lu Jing ran very fast, and it didn't take half a minute to rush to the main hall.

"Where are you wild girl here, don't you come to greet the guests?" Lu Zhanhong saw that Lu Jing had only arrived in the main hall so late, and he came up and said.

Nangong Zheng saw Lu Jing, stood up and saluted: "Yo, this must be the daughter of everyone in the Lu Mansion......, right?

"Hmph, don't say polite words there!" Before Nangong finished speaking, Lu Jing hurriedly retorted, "No need to talk about it, I won't agree to this marriage, and I will leave our Lu family with your broken box immediately!"

"Presumptuous!" Lu Zhanhong shouted, "How do you talk to guests?

Lu Jing didn't say anything for the time being, after all, she couldn't bear to talk back to her parents.

Nangong Zheng saw it, and said slowly: "Don't blame Miss Lu, senior, this kind of thing can be done slowly......"

Lu Zhanhong said angrily: "Hmph, no matter what, this marriage is decided!"

Nangong Zheng listened, secretly happy in his heart, and looked at Lu Jing with a smile......

Suddenly, Lu Jing's face changed suddenly, and she suddenly pulled out the double short sword on her waist, and stabbed straight at Nangong Zheng, "Do you want to marry me......?" Ask me about the sword in my hand first!"

Seeing this, Nangong Zheng dodged the blow on the side of his body, and then used a folding fan to push Lu Jing's sword away. Nangong Zheng said with a smile: "Okay, I have heard for a long time that Miss Lu is not only like a fairy, but also has excellent intelligence and martial arts, but ...... You're still too tender for me!" After speaking, the folding fan quickly flicked his two hands, only to hear the two sounds of "bell, bell", and the double short swords in Lu Jing's hands all fell to the ground in an instant.

"Okay, stop it!" Lu Zhanhong was completely angered by Lu Jing's words and deeds, "You girl is too presumptuous! From today until the marriage period, don't give me another step out of the house!" This time Lu Zhanhong was extremely angry, and his cruel words were also the most thorough.

Lu Jing didn't say anything, just silently picked up the double short sword on the ground......

Nangong Zheng thought about it, and said to Lu Zhanhong: "I think it's okay, senior...... After all, Miss Lu is also the daughter of the Lu family, no matter how you say it, she can't marry into our Nangong family without saying anything. In that case, tomorrow we will have a jousting meeting here. If Miss Lu wins, my Nangong is leaving the Lu family, but if Miss Lu loses, she will be able to promise to become a member of my Nangong family. For the sake of Miss Lu's martial arts not as good as mine, Miss Lu can choose a person from your Lu Mansion to replace you or assist you. The kendo conference is coming, I can invite martial arts people from all walks of life to come here tomorrow to testify, I don't know what the Lu family wants?"

"Okay, that's it!" Lu Jing said categorically, "I will definitely win you tomorrow, you wait!"

"Really?" Nangong Zheng whispered in Lu Jing's ear, "If you don't have confidence, call your brother and brother together, I'm happy to accompany you, haha!" Zuihou shouted "haha" business deliberately shouted loudly. After speaking, Nangong Zheng smiled and walked away......

Seeing this, Lu Zhanhong said to Lu Jing again: "Okay, are you satisfied?" Hmph, don't take another step out of the house from now on!" After speaking, he went back to the bedroom angrily, and Ruan Cuiying was still taking care of her......

Lu Jing was alone in a daze, and then walked slowly towards the gate......

Coincidentally, Tang Zhan and Linglong also came over. Seeing Lu Jing's melancholy appearance, Tang Zhan hurriedly asked, "Jing'er, how are things?"

Lu Jing shook her head and said with a little sadness: "Tomorrow I am going to compete with Nangong here, if I lose, I will marry him......"

"Then as long as you beat him, won't you?" Tang Zhan asked again.

"It's useless, Nangong Zheng's martial arts are very high, and my brother and brother are not his opponents. The Zhao family's family rules can't have anything to do with the Nangong Murong family, so Zhao Zichuan naturally can't fight for me. At the moment, only Brother Huang Ji can defeat him, but he can't be contacted......" Lu Jing made a desperate mood and said, "No, there is no way, there is no way to fight Nangong Zheng, even my father doesn't support me......"

"I support you, Jing'er!" Tang Zhan said with a smile, "Jing'er, you are so smart, you must be able to think of a way to defeat Nangong Zheng!"

"Fool ......" Looking at Tang Zhan's honest smile and concern for himself, Lu Jing muttered.

"Think about it, are there any other friends who can help......" Tang Zhan asked again.

"Useless ......" Linglong said, "The disciple of the Nangong family, Brother Gaoqiang, among the people Sister Lu knows, only Huang Ji can deal with them, but he can't contact ......"

Lu Jing thought for a while and said in a lamented voice: "Forget it, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, I'd better think of a way by myself...... Okay, okay, let's go to dinner!" zuihou was obviously Lu Jing's perfunctory way of comforting Tang Zhan and Linglong.

Lu Jing turned around, and Linglong followed......

Tang Zhan's eyes were also a little sad, he knew that most of Nangong's disciples were extravagant, and he had a secret liking for Lu Jing in his own heart, he definitely didn't want Lu Jing to become a member of the Nangong family.

"Maybe I can help Jing'er, if it's my martial arts to deal with Nangong Zheng'......" A faint thought poured into Tang Zhan's heart......
