"Although my Lu family is not a wealthy family, we are still a little better off than them. It's not that we can't give you what you want."
Su Songqi smiled and said, "Lord Lu, you must be joking. I'm not selling my daughter, so why would I have any conditions? It was just the betrothal gift that the other party proposed."
Lu Guang snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, since my family has come to propose marriage on behalf of my son, we have made all the necessary preparations. Here is the list of betrothal gifts I've drawn up, please review it, Lord Su."
Su Songqi took it and his eyes lit up after just two glances, like a greedy old fox.
The betrothal gift list was different from the usual ones. It had a separate page filled with houses, fields, gold, silver and jewelry given to Su Qingci's father, all of which were very rare treasures.
After this page of paper, the real betrothal gift to Su Qingci was presented.
"Master Lu, what do you mean by this? Why is there something for me on the betrothal gift list?"
Lu Guang looked away and said, "Lord Su, it's not easy to raise a daughter. This is my son's filial gift to his future father-in-law. I wrote it out separately to avoid omission."
"Anyway, things like the betrothal gift list are only visible to our two families; outsiders won't know about it."
"My son said it, it's written in black and white. He can't deny it even if he wants to. Lord Su can rest assured."
"Besides that, I personally have something to give to Lord Su. I hope Lord Su will accept it."
Su Songqi's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh... I wonder what it is?"
Lu Guang: "I heard that Lord Su's three sons are preparing for the imperial examinations, but the next exam will take some time, and the longer the time, the more variables there will be."
"For men, fame, wealth and status are the most important things."
"So, I have found some jobs for Lord Su's third son in the court. I wonder if Lord Su thinks this is a good idea?"
Hearing this, Su Songqi was secretly happy.
In fact, he had long thought about finding some jobs for his three incompetent sons in the court, but those people were checking too strictly and did not give them any loopholes.
Now that Lu Guang has taken the initiative to offer it to the door, this is a great thing!
Moreover, Lu Guang is not an ordinary person. He not only holds real power in the army, but also has considerable say in the Ministry of War.
More importantly, the current emperor's younger sister, Princess Nanjia, is his second wife, a true royal relative!
The breadth of his opportunities is far beyond my reach.
"Although it's not a very important job, it will at least improve my reputation. Besides, I'll have more free time on weekdays, which will help me prepare for the imperial examinations."
"Master Su, don't you agree?"
Su Songqi was the right prime minister in the court, a position that could not be further promoted, so he was determined to find jobs for his sons.
The gift Lu Guang gave touched his heart.
Su Songqi clapped his hands and said, "Lord Lu is so straightforward. I feel a little guilty about this."
Lu Guang rolled his eyes secretly: "Actually, there is..."
Su Songqi was delighted: "My Lord, do you have any other surprises? Why don't you tell others about it?"
Lu Guang slowly said, "This time, we need to use 'look'..."
After saying that, Lu Guang clapped his hands. After three claps, the steward of the Lu Mansion came in with a dozen beautiful and charming Jiangnan actors.
Dozens of beautiful actors stood in a row. They stood gracefully, their skin faintly visible under the thin and transparent gauze skirts. Their seductive figures and affectionate eyes were enough to captivate people.
Moreover, these women have different styles. Some are delicate and gentle, some are bright and lively, and some are coquettish, but each one has her own unique style and flavor.
Su Songqi's eyes were shining, and his nose was bleeding, but he had to pretend to be confused, "Master Lu, what do you mean?"
"These are the Jiangnan entertainers I specially searched for Master Su. Don't worry, Master. Not only are they all beautiful, but they are also young girls for your enjoyment."
"It's just this matter. It's not a good thing to say it out loud. How can a son-in-law give more than a dozen concubines to his future father-in-law?"
"So... Lord Su and I must keep this matter a secret together. At the same time, we must be careful not to let the news get out. Otherwise..."
"It's not good for your reputation either."
Lu Guang said this clearly, with a strong warning in his words.
Also, although it was a gift, after the gift was given, Lu Huan had something on Su Songqi.
Su Songqi treated Su Qingci as a chess piece that could be bought and sold at will, and made many harsh demands and conditions for those who came to propose marriage to her.
And everyone in the officialdom knows his reputation.
Now, even if Lu Guangtong and Lu Huan sent these gifts, even if they were given and publicized, no one would think that they were sent by Lu Guangtong and Lu Huan himself.
He just thought that Su Songqi was an insatiable old fox. He took advantage of his son's liking for Su Qingci and made so many demands that he had a big appetite.
However, his and Lu Huan's reputations remained spotless.
Su Songqi was extremely satisfied today. Among all the families who came to propose to Su Qingci, only the conditions offered by the Lu family satisfied him the most.
Although he wanted to send Su Qingci to the prince's bed that day, the prince was greedy for beauty and easily bored with the old and easily pleased with the new. Perhaps after a while he would forget about Su Qingci and ignore her.
Moreover... even if he really sent Su Qingci to the prince's bed, the prince might not necessarily give him any benefits.
People like the prince are birds of a feather.
