…

Poor Lu Erlang, he had no idea that his third brother was so scheming as to take advantage of an old man's guilt. Although Lu Erlang also hoped that Lu Sanlang and his cousin Luo would have a good relationship, things always went in strange directions.

Especially after meeting Lu Sanlang in the past two days, every time Lu Xian wanted to discuss marriage with his brother, Lu Yun changed the subject.

Not only that, Lu Yun was also extra... nice to him?

He always obeys his second brother's orders and does whatever he says. He will also take the initiative to ask his second brother if he needs help.

This kind of obedience and flattery carries with it a bit of...guilt, a sense of compensation?

Lu Xian was deeply confused.

Especially on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day.

After Lu Xian had been dreaming about his dream for a long time, Lu Sanlang refused to listen to his talk about marriage, so Lu Xian had to find another way. On the night of the Qixi Festival, Lu Sanlang was on duty and not at home; the cousins ​​at home made wishes under the grape trellis and held a banquet to pray for marriage.

Luo Lingyu made a wish in her heart: first, she would marry a powerful and wealthy man; second, if fate treated her better, she would marry the powerful and wealthy man she loved.

On a summer night when flowers were in bloom, the girls made wishes under the grape trellises. Lu Sanlang asked for leave from the government office and went home early. He climbed over the wall and stepped on the branches and leaves on the top of the wall. The handsome man squatted on the top of the wall and listened to Luo Lingyu's wish. He raised his eyebrows and thought that he had heard her earnest wish to marry into a wealthy family again and again.

Lu Yun smiled as he looked down at the most unique of the girls. The fragrance of flowers wafted through the air, the night mist was thick, and he was standing high above her, staring at her intently and quietly, waiting for her.

Lu Xian went to the female relatives and asked Old Madam Lu and his mother, Mrs. Lu, to stay and listen to his prayers.

Lu Xian said in a deep voice: "What I want from you two is a marriage."

Mrs. Lu was immediately delighted: What? Her son finally came to his senses and wanted to propose marriage to Princess Ningping?

Lu Xian's second sentence: "Yes, yes... Cousin Luo's marriage."

Mrs. Lu's face turned pale and she said, "What? That little devil Luo Lingyu... really has seduced her son's soul?"

Old Madam Lu's face turned pale: ... Erlang and Sanlang are fighting for the same girl? And the girl is already engaged and it's inconvenient to break off the engagement?

Old Madam Lu was deeply puzzled: Is it possible that Miss Luo has some good qualities that she has never discovered, but the men in the family have discovered?

Lu Xian knew that it was difficult to get his cousin Luo a marriage, so he looked up and tried to look the two elders in the eye and give them some advice. But he saw that his grandmother and mother looked very strange, so Lu Xian was confused - what did I say? Why did they look like they had eaten a fly?

Lu Xian's third sentence was filled with uncertainty: "...It's about the marriage of cousin Luo and my third brother..."

Old Madam Lu: “…”

Mrs. Lu: “…”

Don't breathe heavily when speaking!

Chapter 81

In the east there is Qiming, in the west there is Changgeng. There is the salvation of heaven and the carrying of charity.

I'm talking about the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Old Madam Lu and Madam Lu sat in the hall, listening to Lu Erlang and Lu Xian still talking: "...In fact, cousin Luo's family background is not that bad. She is also a daughter of a noble family, and she knows everything that a noblewoman should learn and understand. Moreover, the Ruyang Luo family disappeared because they were unwilling to open the city gates and surrender to the Northern Kingdom's army. If the Ruyang Luo family had surrendered to the Northern Kingdom, Ruyang would not have been able to receive reinforcements, and Ruyang would have been incorporated into the Northern Kingdom today. The Ruyang Luo family is full of loyal and brave people, and has made such a great contribution to our Southern Kingdom. Why are their descendants looked down upon when they arrived in Jianye?"

"Among the noble families in Jianye, how many can compare to the Luo family of Ruyang in those days? But has the Luo family of Ruyang ever received justice? Gone is gone, no one will take care of their children. Others have nothing to do with us, but since our Lu family is related to the Luo family by marriage, why shouldn't we take care of them?"

"I think my third brother and cousin Luo are a perfect match. Grandmother shouldn't have blocked them because of family background."

Mrs. Lu looked at her son with strange eyes. She didn't understand why Lu Xian was so concerned about Lu Sanlang's marriage. On the Qixi Festival, Lu Xian didn't go to find Princess Ningping, but kept talking about other people's marriages... Mrs. Lu was really disappointed with him. No wonder Lu Sanlang had so many romantic relationships, but her son was still unmarried.

Madam Lu pondered, "Did Sanlang ask you to tell me this? Why didn't he come here himself?"

Lu Xian quickly said, "No, no, no, Third Brother did not come to me to tell me this. I said this of my own accord."

Old Madam Lu didn't believe him: "Since he hasn't looked for you, how can you be sure that he wants to marry Madam Luo?" After all, judging from Lu Yun's tone, he himself has always been opposed to marriage.

Mrs. Lu was equally puzzled: "Yes. Why are you talking about others?"

Lu Xian was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "Because I saw my third brother and cousin Luo together, I felt they were a perfect match. Grandmother, just agree to it."

Madam Lu: "…It's not really important whether I agree or not. I have plenty of time to think about it. I still need to write to your grandfather and ask him what he thinks. Erlang, I just realized that you have forgotten that Madam Luo is not a free person, but is engaged. Even if the Lu family relents, will Nanyang Fan give in easily, considering how much Mr. Fan cares about Madam Luo?"

Lu Erlang was completely stunned: "..."

Oops, he forgot about the existence of Fan Lang.

Because in the dream, Fan Lang was busy with the war in Nanyang. After the engagement between Prince Hengyang and Luo Lingyu, Nanyang Fan had no intention to seek justice from Prince Hengyang. Later, they missed the opportunity. When Prince Hengyang ascended the throne, Fan's family could not compete with His Majesty for the woman, so they had to accept this stupid loss.

But in reality, because of Lu Xian's own efforts, although Nanyang also had war, it was not as serious as in the dream, and the people were not living in such a mess. Fan Qingchen returned to Nanyang, but he was not completely indifferent to his engagement with Luo Lingyu. The Lu family was in Jianye, and the Fan family was in Nanyang. How could the local tyrants be suppressed? Did they expect the Fan family to lose in the Nanyang war? Lu Xian's efforts had the opposite effect of hindering Lu Yun's marriage. Lu Xian was in a dilemma. He did not want any family to decline and weaken the national strength of the South.
