Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 116
Lu Xiao stabilized his mind and stepped forward to call his father.

Lu Hou glared at him, but he didn't point it out, and said in a strange tone:

"It's so late. Are you still practicing?"

Lu Xiao clenched his fists and replied yes with an embarrassed expression.

The father and son stood under the eaves, looking at the twilight night, chatting without saying a word.

"Prince Chun's downfall, Taiwei Pan's residence is really in a hurry."

Lu Xiao paused, remembering that the Pan family had a marriage contract with Prince Chun's son, he said:

"Pan Taiwei has always been a man who sees the wind and turns the rudder. This time he has not been affected, and he has already belonged to his ancestors."

Lu Hou took his words seriously, thought for a moment and then sneered:
"Guess what that old thief Pan asked His Majesty today?"

Taiwei Pan to ask His Majesty?
Lu Xiao turned sideways and said in surprise:

"Could it be the matter of Prince Chun's residence?"

Lu Hou glanced at him and said:
"He is begging His Majesty to marry him for his daughter-in-law who has not yet married into Prince Chun's residence."

"It is said that his daughter is sixteen after the new year. He also knows that his daughter's reputation has been damaged by Prince Chun, so he wants to pick one of the lesser-known sons in Beijing and ask His Majesty to marry him."

Lu Hou changed the subject and stared straight at Lu Xiao:

"Guess, among the dandies in Shengjing City, who ranks first?"

When Lu Xiao heard this, he became short of breath, cleared his throat, and thought to himself, where in the world is there such a father who buried his own son?

"How long ago was that?"

Lu Xiao snorted angrily and turned his face away.

When Lu Hou heard this, he bared his teeth and sneered:
"Then there's no way. Who told you that Lu Yanwang's reputation is so great that no one dares to surpass it so far?"

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked:

"Then what does His Majesty say?"

Lu Hou snorted:
"How can I say that?"

"I already have such a famous son, can he have the heart to add another daughter-in-law who has lost his reputation?"

"Today, that old thief Pan was scolded by His Majesty, even the scolding was thrown in his face! Your Majesty has been annoyed by Prince Chun's rebellion for the past few days, and there is nowhere to vent his anger!"

Lu Hou showed a relieved expression, and said proudly:
"You kid finally gave me some face!"

"The prince praised you very much when he escorted you in front of everyone today! You haven't seen old thief Pan's face. He looks like he's been soaked in a dye vat."

Lu Xiao had been beaten and scolded by Hou Hou a lot since he was a child, but it was rare for him to be praised like this. Seeing Hou Hou's cheerful appearance, he smiled in his eyes.

"The other side of the Li family. Are you really determined to marry that girl Chonghua?"

Lu Hou suppressed his smile, looked sideways at Lu Xiao with a solemn expression, and said:

"You also know that this girl has an unusual status, but have you ever thought about how your majesty and the crown prince will get along?"

Lu Xiao paused for a moment, then said:
"Your Majesty still needs to trouble my father to ventilate first. As for the son of the crown prince, he will find an opportunity to explain clearly to him in person."

Lu Hou nodded and said:
"Okay! It's a responsible person!"

"However. Your future father-in-law hasn't given you a promise yet, so don't be too happy!"

"You really are a brave boy! You dare to add people under Li Xiang's nose. Fortunately, that girl from the Li family is willing to cover it up for you, otherwise you might be stripped of your skin by that old boy Li Xiang."

Lu Hou was afraid when he thought about it. He thought that his kid hadn't gotten the hang of it yet, and he would be able to cheat others' cabbage without knowing it!Fortunately, the girl from Li Xiang's family is also interested, otherwise this matter would be difficult
There was a smile in Lu Xiao's eyes, since Li Taiwei agreed to this matter, there wouldn't be much trouble.

Thinking of Li Taiwei, Lu Xiao thought of something, and asked Lu Hou:
"Is there a letter from my uncle? I think it's time to leave for Beijing."

Lu Hou paused, and said:

"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, your uncle sent a letter, saying that your grandmother caught a cold and had to rest for a while before leaving."

"Grandmother is sick?"

Lu Xiao said in surprise.

His grandmother has always been in good health, and there was no report of any illness in her previous life at this moment.
"I'll order someone to send some supplements tomorrow. By the way, I'll ask Xiao Yan about when he will leave."

Lu Hou nodded:
"Alright. There is also the new house that His Majesty built for your uncle. You should take a look at it in the next few days and see if there is anything inappropriate. Tell the craftsmen to be more careful."

Lu Xiao naturally agreed to this matter. Seeing that it was late at night, the father and son talked briefly and went back to their rooms to rest.

At night, Lu Hou tossed and turned, casually talking about Lu Xiao's marriage with Luo Shi.

When Luo Shi heard this, his body froze.

"Master Hou is saying that the prince has taken a fancy to Princess Chonghua?"

"Then what did the princess say? Did the Prime Minister agree?"

Lu Hou said vaguely:

"My daughter's skin is thin. It is rare for her to be willing to mention brother Xiao's matter to Li Xiang. Li Xiang has to go back and count up. Chonghua is an unusually noble girl. How can the Li family do that?" come down quickly"

Luo Shi frowned and thought for a moment, Li Taiwei has lived in her house for the past few days, and has never shown her the thoughts of such a child. But thinking about Lu Xiao carrying Li Taiwei into his own room to recuperate, his heart suddenly jump!
"Master Hou, what do you think about this?"

"The concubine also knows that the princess of Chonghua is precious, so many pairs of eyes are staring at her. I'm afraid the prince is also thinking about this marriage. Lord Hou should think twice!"

Lu Hou turned his face sideways, looked at Luo Shi and smiled, and said:
"I wasn't worried about Brother Xiao at first, because I was afraid that he would be used to messing around. But look at him, he seems to have changed after he returned to Beijing. He is in love with Li's girl, and our Lu family is not good enough." Lee's"

"Besides, Li Xiang hasn't responded yet. I'll go to the palace some other day to talk with His Majesty first, and find out what His Majesty means before it's too late."

Luo Shi sighed lightly, and finally said nothing, but he couldn't close his eyes all night.

After waiting for Lu Hou to get up early in the morning, after he had breakfast and went to court, Luo Shi asked someone to arrange a carriage and left the mansion quietly.

Chunshu Hutong in the capital, the small courtyard of the Sheng family.

Sheng Rubai took a bath today, got up early and practiced the sword for a while, and rested under the shade of a tree to read a book.

Seeing Luo's carriage approaching, he hurriedly dropped the book and greeted him personally.

"Why is the mother-in-law here?"

When Luo Shi got out of the carriage, his expression was not very good. Sheng Rubai was stunned for a moment, and invited Luo Shi into the room to talk.

"Mother, but what happened in the mansion?"

Sheng Rubai said tentatively.

Luo Shi sat down, except for the hood, his face was a little tense.

"Lu Xiao is going to marry Princess Chonghua of the Li family!"

Sheng Rubai was stunned for a moment when he heard the words:
"What? When did this happen? Can it be done accurately?"

Roche said:
"What your adoptive father told me last night, how could it be false?"

"I expected him to die in the army. Our brother Yuan can still survive, but look at this"

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, let me think about this first."

Sheng Rubai interrupted Luo Shi's words, hesitatingly said:

"Didn't these two just have a conflict in Chenghemen last month? How can they talk about marriage in a blink of an eye?"

"I just went to Li Xiang's mansion yesterday, and I haven't heard anyone mention this matter. Mother-in-law, don't worry, since the marriage has not yet been settled, there is still room for change."

Luo Shi's eyes lit up, and said:
"Do you have a way?"

Sheng Rubai raised his eyebrows, his eyes lighted up faintly.
