The three people outside the door were all dumbfounded.
The neighbors and passers-by were also attracted by the shocking curse and hid in the distance to watch the fun.
I didn't dare to go near because I was afraid of being implicated.
Before the girl from the Hu family got married, she was a notorious hot-tempered woman in this alley. If she made her unhappy, any cat passing by her wall would be scolded.
Hu Xu came back to his senses and hurriedly pulled back the elder sister who was about to rush forward, saying, "Sister, don't do anything rash. Let me handle this matter."
The elder sister of the Hu family got angry and started scolding the number one scholar as well, "Your soft words can't solve anything! The best way to deal with this kind of dog-eyed and servile bitch is to beat her to death!" As she said that, she picked up the basin and rushed forward.
Hu Xu quickly grabbed her and took the basin from her hand.
If this pot is put into use, before the problem is solved, there will be a lawsuit involving murder.
The old woman came to her senses, tugged at her clothes, howled twice, and was about to rush over.
Madam Lu quickly shouted, "Stop!"
The old woman wanted to make a fuss, but Mrs. Lu slapped her hard in the face and she was immediately silenced.
The Hu family's elder sister immediately said, "See? I told you beating is the best way to deal with it."
Hu Xu looked at her helplessly.
"Ajin, come back!" Father Hu's voice came from the yard.
Hu Xu took advantage of the situation and stopped his elder sister from entering the courtyard. "Sister, go in first. Let me handle this myself."
Hu Jin reluctantly carried the basin back home. Before entering the house, he did not forget to threaten the old woman: "If you don't keep your mouth clean, I will use horse urine to rinse it next time."
After closing the door, he cursed, "You still want Ah Qiao to be your concubine? Why don't you reincarnate and become one yourself? If you persuade others to become your concubine, be careful of being struck by lightning!"
The old woman was so angry that her eyes turned green.
Madam Lu looked Hu Xu over and asked, "Are you really the top scorer in this year's exam, Hu Xu?"
Hu Xu took off the seal from his waist and said, "No one dares to impersonate an official of the imperial court."
Except for the civil and military officials of the imperial court who had to wear official uniforms and formal attire when attending court and major sacrifices, and the officials of various government offices, messengers on duty, and those who had to wear official uniforms and public uniforms, all other officials could wear casual clothes when on duty.
This was the case with Hu Xu. Moreover, he usually dressed simply. If he did not introduce himself, people who did not know him would never have thought that he was a court official, and the new top scholar.
Mrs. Lu hadn't expected this either. When Hu Xu reported his given name last time, she had only thought it sounded familiar. Now that his identity was revealed, she remembered that the new number one scholar was indeed named that way, and that he came from a humble family.
Madam Lu glanced at the seal in Hu Xu's hand and apologized, "My servant was reckless. Please forgive me, Master Hu."
Although Hu Xu's rank was lower than Lu Yu's, he was chosen by the emperor himself. He was also very famous for having passed the imperial examination, so it was not easy to offend him openly.
The old woman was also shocked when she saw the seal. She quickly knelt down and apologized to Hu Xu, "It was my fault for being blind. Please forgive me, sir."
Hu Xu suddenly found it ridiculous. This Lu family was really flexible and only cared about power but not about people.
He took the seal and said to Madam Lu, "Since you have come to me today and asked about it, I will tell you clearly."
The onlookers, neighbors, and people inside the wall pricked up their ears.
Hu Xu straightened his back and solemnly declared, "I like Song Qiao, and I plan to formally propose to the Song family soon."
Then, Hu Xu warned in a deep voice: "Therefore, I advise Madam, and ask you to tell Lu Sizhu and Wei Yinuo that as long as I am here, you can't even think about taking advantage of Song Qiao."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of "wow" from inside and outside the wall.
Mrs. Lu stared at him blankly.
The old woman was about to speak, but was shut up by Hu Xu's cold look.
The door behind Hu Xu was opened again, and Hu Jin was so excited that she kept banging the basin. Behind her stood her brother-in-law, Hu's father and mother, all with smiles on their faces.
Father Hu stepped forward and said to Madam Lu, "This marriage has been finalized by our Hu family."
The onlookers immediately cheered and congratulated him.
Mrs. Lu was startled back to her senses and asked Hu Xu, "Marriage is not just your business. Will Ah Qiao agree?"
This time it was Hu Xu who was stunned.
A clear and bright voice came from the alley, "I promise."
Hu Xu turned around and saw Song Qiao, Song's father and Aunt Hua walking towards him.
His heart beat into his ears, making a deafening sound.
