Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense."
When the two arrived at Lu's house, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Zheng Zhiqian came forward with a gift, knocked on the door, and then stood aside.
Soon, the door opened and a middle-aged man poked his head out and his eyes fell on Zhao Hao and Zheng Zhiqian.
"Cousin, what are you doing..."
This is something I just saw before, when my cousin sent his eldest daughter back home.
Why is this happening again?
And brought a stranger with him!
Zheng Zhiqian said: "I came here specially to visit my uncle!"
The middle-aged doorman nodded: "Then please come in!"
Having said that, he stepped aside and let the two people in.
Then, he brought the two of them into the hall.
"My dear cousin, please wait a moment. I will go and fetch the master!"
Although Zheng Zhiqian was born out of wedlock, he actually had no blood relationship with the Lu family.
However, the relationship on the surface is there after all, and it is not something that a doorman of the Lu family can ignore.
Moreover, recently, the Lu family is planning to marry their young lady to him.
This was something that everyone knew, so the middle-aged doorman naturally did not dare to neglect it.
As he spoke, the middle-aged doorman walked out quickly.
Zhao Hao sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup and started drinking.
Zheng Zhiqian, who was standing aside, looked worried.
"Brother Hao, do you think... can this work?"
Zhao Hao was speechless: "How do I know if it will work? Won't I know soon?"
"Look at what you have accomplished!"
Zheng Zhiqian's face fell and he became even more nervous.
Not long after, two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, walked in from outside.
The man was wearing a silver-gray brocade robe. He was not very tall and looked a little thin.
However, his overall temperament is quite good, and at first glance he is an introverted and calm person.
Next to her, the middle-aged woman was slightly taller, and her face shape and eyes were somewhat similar to Lu Ying's.
It should be his biological mother.
Seeing the two people coming in, Zhao Hao quickly stood up from his chair.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Zhiqian, why are you here so late?"
"Oh, this is..."
Zheng Zhiqian said quickly: "Uncle, this is my good friend, Lord Zhao Hao, who is most beloved by His Majesty in this dynasty."
"I said I wanted to come visit my uncle and aunt, and Brother Zhao Hao happened to be here too, so I came along. I hope my uncle won't mind."
After Zheng Zhiqian finished speaking, Zhao Hao smiled and bowed, saying, "Master Lu, I apologize for coming here in such a presumptuous way!"
Lu Shanhe looked at Zhao Hao, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he laughed excitedly: "Oh, it turns out to be Lord Zhao!"
"I really didn't expect that the Lord would come to my Lu family."
"It really brings glory to our Lu family!"
"Sir, please take a seat!"
"Someone, change the tea!"
Following his order, a maid came in and took the tea from the table.
Soon, another bowl of new tea was served.
Several people sat down.
Lu Shanhe sat in the main seat at the top, and the middle-aged woman sat quietly beside him.
Zhao Hao and Zheng Zhiqian sat in the guest seats.
As soon as he sat down, Zhao Hao took the initiative to speak: "Master Lu, I am here today because I have something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shanhe pretended to be surprised and asked, "I wonder what you are talking about, sir?"
Someone of Zhao Hao's status suddenly came to visit in person and brought gifts, so there must be something going on.
He wouldn't believe it and just followed Zheng Zhiqian casually.
Zhao Hao said, "I won't beat around the bush. I came here today to propose marriage for my brother!"
"Matchmaking?"
Lu Shanhe and his wife were both stunned when they heard this.
Then he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that this matter would alarm the Lord."
"It seems that Zhiqian has a lot of face!"
"Master, in fact, our two families have basically decided to arrange the marriage between Zhiqian and my daughter."
"Now that the Lord is the matchmaker, this matter will be even more perfect!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Master Lu, that's great! This way, the Lu and Zheng families will become even closer!"
As he spoke, Zhao Hao continued, "By the way, where is the young lady? Why don't you come out and see her?"
"I heard from Zhiqian that his cousin is a famous talented woman."
"So, today I came here, firstly to act as a matchmaker, and secondly to meet the talented woman he mentioned."
Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Lu Shanhe and his wife both changed their expressions.
Lu Shanhe said, "Master, the matchmaking you are talking about is between Zhiqian and my little daughter, right?"
Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Of course not, I'm here to act as a matchmaker for your eldest daughter, Lu Ying!"
"Well, I didn't explain it clearly, so Patriarch Lu misunderstood?"
Lu Shanhe and his wife looked at each other, and their eyes all fell on Zheng Zhiqian.
Zheng Zhiqian simply lowered his head, not daring to look at the two of them.
Zhao Hao quickly continued, "Master Lu, since your eldest daughter is still unmarried, and the Lu family is also interested in marrying into the Zheng family, isn't that perfect?"
"The ages of the two are more suitable."
"Master Lu, is there any difficulty?"
Lu Shanhe dodged and smiled slightly, saying, "Mr. Zhao, you don't know that what our two families are discussing is my youngest daughter, not my eldest daughter."
At this point, Lu Shanhe already understood what Zhao Hao meant by coming here.
He came to support Zheng Zhiqian and was targeting his eldest daughter.
What a nice thought.
Although he was a little annoyed in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
Zhao Hao said calmly, "Master Lu, as far as I know, I grew up with your eldest daughter and we were childhood sweethearts."
"These two should be together, right? Why did the head of the family marry his youngest daughter to Zhiqian instead of separating these two childhood sweethearts?"
Before Lu Shanhe could speak, the middle-aged woman next to him said coldly: "Master Zhao, this is our family matter, so please don't bother with it!"
As she spoke, she looked at Zheng Zhiqian with a cold face and said, "Zhiqian, do you have any thoughts on this marriage?"
"In that case, why don't you just say it?"
"Instead, you pulled Lord Zhao over here to force my uncle and aunt?"
Zheng Zhiqian's expression suddenly became even uglier, and then he quickly looked at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao said softly: "Master Lu, Madam Lu, I am only here to act as a matchmaker today."
"I don't mean to force you."
"You two can consider this. Zhiqian is now highly valued by His Majesty and does not disgrace the eldest lady of your family."
"If you two nod, I will ask His Majesty to grant us the marriage."
"In this way, the Lu family can be regarded as officially among the famous families in the imperial capital."
"Isn't it a beautiful thing?"
