Lu Lankun listened to Lu Lanqi's words and said, "That's right, but what kind of wife should I find for Mingshan? Should I find a virgin or a widow?"
Lu Lanchen pondered for a moment and said.
"Let's find him an older woman! He's the brother of Marquis Cheng'en, so I don't think it's difficult to find him an older woman. We just have to look carefully at his character. Mingyuan is a marquis in the capital now, so we can't let Mingshan marry a troublemaker and ruin the reputation of our Lu family!"
Lu Lanshu had been silent the whole time, but after hearing what they said, he finally spoke.
"Brother, let me say a few words. Regarding finding a wife for Mingshan, I think we should ask Mingshan's opinion. After all, it's the other person who gets married and lives with him. There's no point in overthinking it. Also, you're right. When choosing a wife for Mingshan, we need to consider her character, not her background. After all, Mingyuan is a marquis, while Mingshan is a commoner. We don't need to worry about family background or anything like that. A girl from our peasant family will be fine."
Several brothers here were discussing how to find a wife for Lu Mingshan, but Lu Mingshan was blocked at home by someone who forced him to marry their daughter.
The story begins after the New Year. After Lu Mingyuan brought the old couple Lu Lancheng to the capital, a piece of news came out from somewhere that Lu Mingyuan was the second master of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the capital, and he was going to the capital to recognize his relatives. Now the Lu family became popular. Not to mention other members of the Lu clan, at least the old widower Lu Mingshan was the most popular. From then on, the matchmaker came to the door every few days to find a good marriage for Lu Mingshan.
This troubled Lu Mingshan a lot, so he had to go to Luzhou Prefecture and live in the house bought by Lu Zifeng. Who would have known that since he moved in, there were more matchmakers who wanted to arrange a marriage for Lu Mingshan, because there were rumors that Lu Mingyuan had found his biological parents. As for the family property in Luzhou Prefecture, people had long since disdained it and gave it all to Lu Mingshan. Do you see that Lu Mingshan has already moved into that house now?
Lu Mingshan was now even more depressed. He was so scared that he dared not go out anymore. He would not go out unless he needed to farm. However, he still could not stop the enthusiastic matchmaker from coming to his door.
Look, looking at the matchmaker and a middle-aged couple sitting in the hall, Lu Mingshan smiled helplessly.
"Brother Lu, I think you've misunderstood. Let me tell you again, it wasn't me who saved your daughter, but our family's guard. This incident really can't be blamed on me. After all, everyone on the street was watching. I was sitting in the carriage at the time, and I haven't even seen your daughter. How could you let me marry her?"
Lu Dazhu glanced at his wife Shen secretly, wanting to persuade her to give up, but in the end he just opened his mouth and said nothing.
Shen said.
"Master Lu, you can't say that. Isn't that servant still yours? You must have taken a fancy to my daughter, and that's why you asked your guard to rescue her. This is also your fate, isn't it?"
Looking at Shen talking to herself, Lu Mingshan suddenly felt overwhelmed. How could he not explain it clearly?
Chang Lin on the side suppressed his laughter and stepped forward.
"Aunt Shen, please go back first and stop forcing our master here. There's no way our master would marry your daughter. And Aunt Shen, don't use your daughter's reputation as an excuse. When our guards rescued your daughter, they didn't even touch her. You can't blame our Lu family for that. Besides, our master is the brother of Marquis Cheng'en. Do you really think our marquis would let his brother marry a merchant girl?"
After hearing what Chang Lin said, the Lu couple didn't dare to speak. Yes, they were a wealthy family in the capital, and they were going to be ruined by just one word. Thinking of this, the couple didn't dare to say anything else and just stood up to say goodbye and left.
After seeing the people leave, Lu Mingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chang Lin and said.
"Look at you. If you had moved your second brother out earlier, everything would have been fine. You've made me so anxious."
Chang Lin smiled and said, "Master, it's okay if you agree to this. You're almost forty years old now, so it's time to find someone. After all, you can't stay single forever!"
After hearing what Chang Lin said, Lu Mingshan shook his head helplessly.
"Well, I'm fine the way I am. I don't necessarily have to marry a woman and bring her home. I've gotten used to it over the years, and it's fine this way too."
Seeing that the master really had no intention of getting married, Chang Lin stopped talking and started talking about other things.
Here in Ganzhou, Lu Zifeng and others had just stopped and looked at the dead bodies all over the ground. Lu Zifeng said.
"Alright, Brother Situ, stop looking. You won't be able to find any clues from these people. We've killed quite a few in the past two days."
We are about to enter the capital. I think those people won't come again. Let's hurry up! Otherwise, we won't be able to enter the capital before dark.
Situ Hao looked at the corpse and said to Li Si beside him.
"Let's deal with it! It seems he's won over quite a few people over the years. Now think about it, we've killed quite a few people in the past two years! If not a thousand, I'm afraid it must be eight hundred. I think it's impossible that these are all his own people. I'm afraid there are still many people he has won over who are willing to work for him."
Lu Zifeng smiled and gave Situ Hao a thumbs up.
"Yes, it's very clear!"
Situ Hao ignored Lu Zifeng's teasing, but sat aside, took out the water bag, took a sip, and jumped directly onto the horse.
A quarter of an hour later, after Li Si and others dealt with the matter, everyone mounted their horses again and galloped towards the capital.
After walking for nearly an hour, looking at the thirty or so good people in front of him, Lu Zifeng looked at Situ Hao helplessly.
"It seems that it will be difficult to enter the city today. We can only sleep in the manor outside the city."
Situ Hao's expression became even gloomier, and he closed his eyes.
"Li Si, go ahead."
As soon as Situ Hao finished speaking, Li Si and others all rushed over. It was not because they were not worried about Situ Hao's safety, but because with Lu Zifeng there, those assassins could not get close to Situ Hao at all. Now they had no worries, and it was not too easy to kill the man in black. As the emperor's shadow guard, his kung fu was naturally not weak. Not to mention the top ones, he was also a first-class master in the Dayu Dynasty. Of course, they could not compare with Lu Zifeng.
While watching Li Si and others, Lu Zifeng also paid attention to the three archers hiding in the woods not far away, to prevent them from secretly shooting Situ Hao with bows and arrows.
