Chapter 279 Marry You
Jun Moye nodded slightly after hearing this, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Since you have made up your mind, there is a vacant civil service position in Chenzhou Prefecture. You can gain experience there for the time being. When you are able to manage things thoroughly, Chenzhou Prefecture will promote you to be a county magistrate."
After hearing this, Chen Sibo hurriedly bowed in gratitude.
"Sibo thanks you, sir."
Shen family.
Lu Zhan was drinking tea with Shenzhoufu.
Lu Zhan looked towards Chenzhou Prefecture with a somewhat flattering look in his eyes.
"I had wanted to visit Lord Shen a long time ago, but the war had just ended and the military was busy, so I had to wait until today to finally have the time to visit Lord Shen."
After hearing this, Chenzhou Prefecture also spoke politely.
"General Lu's official position has risen rapidly, so he is naturally very busy. We are all in the northwest, so we will have plenty of time to travel more in the future. General Lu, just focus on the things at hand."
Lu Zhan raised the teacup in his hand after hearing this.
"Sir Shen, I haven't congratulated you yet. You've put in a lot of effort in this battle. Lord Shenwu has already reported your actions to the Imperial City. I believe good news will come soon. Today, I brought you some gifts. I hope you won't mind."
As he spoke, the servant came forward with the gift.
After hearing the humble words, Lord Shen signaled with his eyes that Zhongli should accept the gift personally.
"No, no, I'm just fulfilling my duty and I don't dare take credit for it. Since it's such a kind gesture from Lord Lu, then this prefecture will not be polite. We still have some precious tea in our collection. I'll have the butler bring two boxes to Lord Lu later."
Lu Zhan heard this and spoke quickly.
"Thank you very much, Master Shen."
After some polite exchanges, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Lu Zhan took two more sips of tea awkwardly before speaking slowly.
"Master Shen, I'd like to ask, Miss Shen has been busy on the battlefield for so long and was frightened before. I wonder if she is feeling better now."
Seeing that he finally asked about Shen Luoyun, a smile appeared on Shenzhoufu's face.
"Sir Lu, you are about the same age as my daughter. If you don't mind, why don't you call me uncle?"
Lu Zhan was naturally delighted when he heard this.
"Uncle, why don't you call me Lu Zhan? Lord Lu or General Lu sounds strange."
Shenzhoufu smiled and nodded.
Butler Zhongli came in and spoke at this time.
"Master, the second young lady is here."
Shenzhoufu stood up with a smile.
"Lu Zhan, the flowers in my uncle's house are blooming beautifully. Let Luo Yun take you for a walk. It's still early today, so stay for dinner and have a couple of drinks with my uncle."
Lu Zhan's eyes were filled with joy when he heard this.
"Yes, Lu Zhan will definitely have a couple of drinks with my uncle later."
Shen Luoyun walked in and saluted politely.
"Father, General Lu."
Chenzhoufu glanced at Shen Luoyun, who was wearing a green dress, well, she was dressed appropriately, then looked at Lu Zhan, and finally spoke up to give him a warning.
"It's a rare occasion for Lu Zhan to come home. Luo Yun, please take Lu Zhan for a stroll. The flowers in the garden have been blooming beautifully these past two days. I still have some official business to attend to, so I'll invite Lu Zhan to have dinner with me."
After hearing this, Shen Luoyun lowered her head and spoke with a slightly red face.
"Yes, my daughter knows."
After they left Chenzhou Mansion, the housekeeper Zhongli also looked at the two of them before leaving. It seemed that there was going to be a happy event in this mansion.
Shen Luoyun saluted gracefully.
"Master Lu, please come this way."
Lu Zhan smiled and let her lead the way for him.
"Luo Yun, didn't I tell you? You can call me by my name, or you can call me Ah Zhan."
Shen Luoyun lowered his head and spoke.
"Lord Lu, this is inappropriate."
Lu Zhan heard her inappropriate words and spoke with a smile.
"Luo Yun, you've been feeling better these past few days."
Shen Luoyun listened and spoke in a low voice.
"I've felt much better after a few days of rest. Thank you, Lord Lu, for your concern."
Many flowers in the garden have bloomed, emitting a fragrant scent.
Lu Zhan stopped and looked at Shen Luoyun.
Shen Luoyun felt a little flustered under his gaze.
"Lord Lu..."
Lu Zhan looked around and saw that there was no one else. Qingmei was following him from a distance, so he slowly spoke.
"Luo Yun, why don't you come sit in the pavilion? I have something to tell you."
Shen Luoyun nodded and spoke softly.
"good."
The two walked into the pavilion.
Lu Zhan bowed to Shen Luoyun.
"Second Miss Shen, my name is Lu Zhan. For some reason, I was exiled from the Imperial City. At that time, I was just a bastard and nearly died on the way to exile. It was Master Jun and Madam Jun who were kind enough to take me in and let me survive to the northwest.
After living in the northwest for a while, I wanted to plan a way out for myself, so I went to the Northwest Barracks. Unfortunately, the Northern Wing came to attack. Fortunately, under the leadership of Master Jun and Madam Jun, we repelled the Northern Wing. I was rewarded with military merit and promoted to the rank of Fourth Rank General. Miss Shen, although born a woman, you are a rock and a mountain, not a weed. I admire you very much and want to marry you, to spend my life together and have children.
After hearing this, Shen Luoyun pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands, feeling a little at a loss.
"Lord Lu, Luo Yun is just a concubine's daughter. She is not a good match for you. Moreover, a woman's marriage is decided by her parents and the matchmaker. Luo Yun is unaware of this matter..."
Lu Zhan looked at her panicked eyes and took a step towards her.
"Second Miss Shen, whether or not someone is a good match is not up to others to decide. For me, Lu Zhan, the person I have in mind is a good match. My family members have long since separated, and now I am alone.
Today, Miss Shen, if you give me a word, I will ask Master Jun and Madam Jun to come and propose marriage on my behalf. If you marry me, I will not promise you great wealth and glory, but from now on, I, Lu Zhan, will do my best to protect you from the wind and rain, honor your parents together, and raise our children together."
Listening to Lu Zhan talking about their future life, Shen Luoyun's face seemed to turn red, but she had a longing in her heart. He talked about marrying her.
"But I'm still managing the restaurant for Madam Jun, and that's a marriage..."
Lu Zhan spoke with a smile.
"After we get married, you can continue to work for Madam Jun. We mainly focus on the principle that the husband sings and the wife follows. You are a very good girl. With me, you don't need to be confined to the harem. You can do business or do other things if you want.
Anyway, there are no elders in my family to control you. You are free to do whatever you want, and I will not use those pedantic rules to restrict you. During the day, I will train soldiers and handle official business in the barracks, and I will come back to accompany you at night. If you want to go far away to develop business, I will arrange for people to protect you along the way. In short, you continue to do what you want, and I will be your backer and a good husband to you.
