Chapter 96: Hongjiabao and the Crescent Cult (22)
Master Li Zhuang came to the small living room in the inner courtyard at the back, Mrs. and Li Meijiao, Li Jialei were all sitting there waiting, Li Zhuang Master walked to the table and sat down, picked up the teacup, drank two sips of tea, put the teacup and said: "Jiao'er, what do you think." Li Meijiao said: "Didn't I already say it in public, I am willing to marry, will I not believe in my words." Li Zhuang said: "It doesn't count if you are forced, but now with free choice, it is different." Li Meijiao said: "If you are forced to marry, if you give freedom, you won't marry, then people will look down on our Li family even more, if you don't force you to be willing to marry, it means that our Li family really wants to be close to Hongjiabao, so that the Li family will not lose face, and Hongjiabao will no longer hate our Li family." ’
Li Zhuang didn't know that Li Meijiao was discussing haode with Lingyu, and always felt that the reason that his daughter said was not quite right, so he was stunned and said: "Jiao'er, according to what you say, you have to marry the Hong family, Jiao'er and her mother, you can talk about it." Mrs. said: "I heard that Gongzi Hong is also handsome and his family background is also very famous, so I agree to marry Jiao'er." Li Zhuang was stunned angrily, and said angrily: "What do you see Lei'er?" Li Jialei said: "In my opinion, the current situation is still better to marry." Master Li Zhuang said: "Lei'er, why do you say that." Li Jialei said: "I am right, from now on the Crescent Moon Sect will no longer pay attention to us, Hongjiabao is hostile to us, maybe there are few people on the rivers and lakes to take care of us, if we form a family with Hongjiabao, many people will also see that my sister is the young lady of Hongjiabao will also give some face." ’
Master Li Zhuang said angrily: "You don't practice martial arts well, and you want to rely on other people's relationships to make trouble, and you will have no success in your life." Li Jialei said aggrievedly: "Dad, you also know that I have practiced a lot. It's okay to practice consciously. When my sister comes back, we'll have a competition. As a result, I couldn't even beat my sister, and at that time I thought that I was not the material for martial arts, you see that Sect Master Peng has practiced a lifetime of miraculous skills and can't beat Zhang Lingyu as a teenager. In fact, the owner of Li Zhuang was also speechless, but he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Madame said to Master Li Zhuang: "And say that others, you see that the Crescent Moon Sect you have inherited is not a good thing at all, they are all despicable and shameless. Master Li Zhuang was stunned and said, "Madam, why do you talk like that." Mrs. couldn't hold it anymore, so she almost killed Li Meijiao when she met Cui Protector last night. and Zhang Lingyu's emergency rescue, and her daughter survived. After speaking, the lady sighed and said, "Zhang Gongzi is still Jiao'er's life-saving benefactor. When Master Li heard this, he was very angry and said, "Why didn't you tell me last night." Madame said: "It's not that your father and son were hurt, if you heard that you must go and reason with Sect Master Peng, if Sect Leader Peng knew that Cui Protector died like this, he might still think that Jiao'er and Zhang Gongzi colluded to kill him, and at that time, Peng Sect was mainly annoyed and angry, wouldn't it be too dangerous." ’
When the owner of Li Zhuang heard his wife say this, his anger also disappeared a lot, and he blamed himself: "It's all my fault that I am not allowed to lead wolves into the house and lift stones to shoot myself in the foot." After a pause, he said: "So Jiao'er knew Zhang Gongzi last night." The lady said, 'Of course.' Li Zhuang said: "That's Jiao'er discussed with Zhang Gongzi last night that she was willing to marry." The lady said, "Yes, otherwise your father and son would be safe and sound, which Jiao'er specially begged for." Master Li had nothing to say at this time, and he had nothing to say. If you want to be angry, you should not be angry, and you shouldn't have nothing to do. Master Li Zhuang breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Since you all think that marriage is the best policy. Then get married, ma'am, and ask someone to prepare wine and food to entertain them. The lady said, "I have already prepared the wine and food, and I will wait for your words." After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to serve wine and food to Zhang Lingyu and them, and Li Zhuang and Li Jialei walked towards the living room in the front yard.
Master Li Zhuang and his son walked into the living room with smiling faces, and Master Li Zhuang said: "Master Zhang, you have been waiting for a long time, and you are also hungry, please sit down at the table, and the meal will start immediately." Lingyu said: "Master Li Zhuang is polite. As soon as everyone sat down, the wine and food were served on the table one after another, and Yahuan was busy pouring wine for everyone. Originally, it was going to feast on Sect Leader Peng of the Crescent Moon Sect, but Sect Leader Peng ran away like this, and Zhang Lingyu and the others became guests to enjoy this sumptuous banquet.
Li Zhuang said: 'Zhang Gongzi ?????? last night' He wanted to say that Zhang Gongzi had a life-saving grace for Jiao'er, but Lingyu stopped him without letting him continue: "Master Li, please forgive me for offending you last night when you visited your mansion last night." Then he used the sound to enter the secret and said to the owner of Li Zhuang: "Master Li, it is better not to mention the matter of saving Miss Li in the future, it is good for Miss Li and the owner of the village, we just know each other." Master Li Zhuang's voice was small but very clear, and he paused and said: "Zhang Gongzi doesn't have to mind, it's always our fault first, and I don't mention the past, I hope that I can become good relatives with Hongjiabao." Lingyu said: "I thank Master Li Zhuang for being so reasonable. Master Li said embarrassedly: "Let Zhang Gongzi smile." ’
Li Jialei said: "In the past, Li didn't know the height of the sky, please forgive me for the offense, and I apologize to Miss Hong." Lingyu said: "Don't mention the previous things again, won't the two of you become in-laws soon." Li Jialei said: "Yes, yes." Li Zhuang said: "Zhang Gongzi, we have discussed it and agreed to Zhang Gongzi's intentions, and everything will be arranged by Zhang Gongzi." Lingyu thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, the wedding will be placed tomorrow, I think it is good to put it tomorrow, your family has long said that tomorrow is a big day, there will be a lot of relatives and friends to congratulate, marrying a daughter is also a happy day, relatives and friends come to still have a wedding banquet to eat, Li Zhuang will not be so embarrassed, Li Zhuang you say." ’
Li Zhuang said: "Zhang Gongzi is reasonable, you are telling me to be confused, pretending to be confused, and I can't blame others for this reason, but I still have to thank Zhang Gongzi for being thoughtful for me." After listening to him, Zhang Lingyu and they all laughed, and Li Zhuang's father and son also laughed twice. Lingyu said: "Master Li Zhuang is polite, this matter is settled. Master Li Zhuang said: "Don't worry, Zhang Gongzi, since I have agreed, I will not change." ’
After the matter was discussed, the banquet was dispersed, Lingyu and they said goodbye to Li Zhuang and went back, Lingyu and they rode first, and he drove the carriage behind him slowly. Lingyu and the others had just left Zhuangkou Erli and saw Li Meijiao standing on the side of the road waiting for them, and when they came close to stop, Lingyu said: "Miss Li, do we have something to say later?" Li Meijiao said softly with a shy face: "I want to say a few words alone with you, a big matchmaker." Chang Yue'e smiled and said, "Brother Yu, let's wait for you in front, and you can talk slowly." After saying that, he shook the reins and urged the horse away, and Hong Xia and the others followed. After Lingyu saw them leaving, she got off the horse and walked in front of Li Meijiao.
