I'm the one running the game

Fu Mansion, Meng Shu imagined that he would be stopped or beaten and thrown out, but the scene did not happen.

Instead, he was politely welcomed into the Fu Mansion and treated well. He was polite from beginning to end, without any neglect.

This made Meng Shu extremely uncomfortable. His horizons were actually very broad, but they were limited to his own level.

Soon, a middle-aged man came over. Although his clothes were not gorgeous, they were extremely extraordinary in terms of workmanship and materials.

"Hahaha, I heard Qing'er mention you. You are indeed a handsome man. I'm being generous and calling you my nephew, okay?" The middle-aged man spoke cheerfully when he came.

Meng Shu recognized the other party. It was Fu Qing's father, Fu Wang, the current helmsman of Fu's.

"It's my honor." Meng Shu said hurriedly.

Fu Wang waved his hand and asked the other party to sit down: "Don't be so reserved, just treat it as your own home."

"I also heard about your relationship with Qing'er."

When this was said, Meng Shu's heart was in his throat. The other party was polite, but this was exactly what he was afraid of. If he was furious or disdainful, he would have expected it and would have responded. Now he really had no way.

"It's really not good for us old antiques to intervene in the affairs of young people. It's just annoying."

"But this is a marriage, as the saying goes, parents' orders and matchmaker's words, so it can't be vague."

"I know you and Qing'er are in love, but Qing'er is the only daughter of my Fu family, and my husband and I love her very much. We can't do such a bad thing to break up a couple."

Hearing this, Meng Shu was happy, and when he was about to say thank you uncle for his help, Fu Wang made a turn.

"However, you need to marry into my Fu family."

"Don't worry, nephew. Although you are called a son-in-law, I will not let you live like a pig or dog. It's just a title."

"If you nod, you don't need to worry about the rest. My Fu family will take care of it and make sure you live a glorious life."

"If you have many children and grandchildren in the future, it's okay to adopt a son to my family for the ancestral temple."

The conditions Fu Wang gave were very generous. In addition to the bad title of letting Meng Shu marry into my family, if they have many children in the future, they can also give up one of their children with the surname Meng.

However, Meng Shu felt cold in his heart, especially when the word "son-in-law" came out.

In the ancient feudal society, the status of a son-in-law was really low, even lower than that of a warm man. A warm man was ranked below a dog, and a son-in-law was fully qualified to be ranked below a warm man.

For example, conscription and labor service, a son-in-law did not even have the opportunity to resist. If a normal identity was in a prosperous era, there would at least be some nominal opportunities for resistance, but a son-in-law had no chance at all.

Of course, it depends on where the son-in-law is from. In a wealthy family like the Fu family, there is no need to worry about these.

However, there are also many problems, such as not being able to take the imperial examination, and even being despised by others, and basically ruining the reputation.

Between these two dilemmas, he didn't know how to choose.

What he wanted was to get married, not to marry into the family.

After calming down, he analyzed the pros and cons.

Fu Wang saw Meng Shu's entanglement, and did not interrupt the other party's thinking, but looked at the other party with a smile.

If the other party really agreed, then Fu Wang would have to think about it again and again. Thinking about it means that the other party cares about his identity and reputation, has his own plans and ambitions, and is not a person who clings to the powerful.

"Uncle, does Qing'er know about marrying into the family?" Meng Shu asked this question.

"Qing'er naturally doesn't know, but my Fu family has only one daughter, and I can't marry a daughter." Fu Wang restrained his smile and told the truth.

"If I still have a son or a daughter, Qing'er is willing to follow you through hardships, and that will fulfill her wish."

"It's a pity that I only have this one daughter, so I can only recruit a son-in-law to continue my Fu family's incense."

This question is very sharp. Fu Wang can satisfy the love of two young people. For him, it doesn't matter who marries into the family. It can be Meng Shu, Li Shu, or Wang Shu, but he can't marry a daughter.

Grandsons are very important to him.

"I don't know if my uncle knows that my Meng family only has me now." Meng Shu said hoarsely. If he really marries into the family, how can he face his ancestors after his death.

"You and Qing'er are in love with each other. What's wrong with sacrificing one or two for her? Besides, it's not to cut off the incense of your Meng family. You and Qing'er can have more children, and you can adopt one." Fu Wang had said it before, and it was naturally thoughtful.

"If you don't want to, I can raise one or two concubines to give birth to your children. Qing'er will turn a blind eye and won't care about your affairs."

"When I go there in the future, the huge Fu family will naturally belong to you and your wife, and it won't fall into the hands of others."

Fu Wang continued to increase the temptation.

Meng Shu's heart became more and more entangled.

"I wonder if my uncle can let me go back and think about it for a day or two, and then give me an answer?" Meng Shu never expected this situation. He thought about being beaten out with sticks, being insulted, and even thinking about the other party's help, but he didn't expect that he would be married into the family.

"Of course, if my nephew thinks it through and comes to the Fu Mansion again, if he can become a father-in-law and son-in-law, I will be very happy." Fu Wang did not refuse. Anyway, his daughter is not in a hurry to find a son-in-law now. Let alone one or two days, even one or two years can wait.

After all, they are all son-in-laws, so finding a like-minded son-in-law can save a lot of trouble, and he is actually very satisfied with Meng Shu. He has an orderly advance and retreat, and worries about gains and losses. It will not be a big problem to support the Fu family in the future, let alone taking it further. It's more than enough to maintain success.

When one reaches Fu's level of power, it is no longer about making progress, but thinking about how to ensure one's own continuation. If one is really too ambitious, it will lead to disaster.

"Thank you, uncle." Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and Fu Wang's reasonableness made him feel a little guilty.

Accompanied by the house stewards, he was quickly sent out of the Fu Mansion. During this period, he encountered no difficulties or looked down upon. Everyone was a discerning person. There was a good chance that this person would be the future uncle of the Fu Mansion. Why would you offend him if you had nothing to do?

No matter how bad the son-in-law is, he is still his master. How can he be bullied by servants like them? The son-in-law was barely considered a human being. These servants had all signed a contract of sale, and their status could only be regarded as items rather than people.

…

"No, where are Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai as promised?" Lu Xingshi was a little confused. He planned to watch the tragedy and then intervene.

"You have become Liang Shanbo and Zhu Zhishan."

Lu Xingshi didn't know what to say for a moment. If Zhu Yingtai in Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai had such a pair of parents, he might not have agreed to marry into his wife on the spot...right?

Well, he's not sure. After all, his thinking is that of modern people. You two like each other so much, and getting married is a happy ending. After all, the man's family is poor and there is no throne to inherit, so it's not like the woman is powerful. Go in and avoid fifty years of detours.

Moreover, the woman is not an 80-year-old lady, but a beauty in her 28s. In modern times, she is not comfortable with this kind of soft food. She is not allowed to kowtow to the woman's ancestors a hundred times to make up for the difference. .

However, this was not necessarily the case in ancient times. There were a series of issues such as incense, ancestral temples, reputation, etc. Meng Shu was naturally unable to agree immediately because of these external factors.

"So now the only thing left is that the man is still screwing. As long as he doesn't screw, the rest will be easy to handle."

When Lu Xingshi saw it now, he just felt like he had watched a family ethics drama with twists and turns. He had no other thoughts except that it was bloody.

"What a rubbish plot, I'm leaving." Lu Xingshi thought he would find something.

He couldn't help but curse a little, turned around and called Xiangyun directly to the sky to fly away from Luyang Mansion.

I just turned around and took another look, and discovered a very serious problem.

"Won't you let me go?"

After flying around, Lu Xingshi found that he was still in Luyang City and could not get out at all.

"I was ready to let you go, but you have to let me beat you to death?" When Lu Xingshi landed, he returned to Luyang Academy.

"No, it's the evil god who has recovered his strength to a certain extent and is ready to eat me like food."

Lu Xingshi quickly understood that just now, the opponent's power had further expanded.

"It grew rapidly in a short period of time, rather than slowly returning to this level."

"So... it is indeed Meng Shu who has a problem." Lu Xingshi didn't think this was a coincidence. As soon as Meng Shu completed the Q\u0026A in the Earth Temple from Fu Mansion, the evil god's power quickly expanded.

Lu Xingshi rushed to Meng Shu's house immediately, preparing to smash the earth temple.

Regardless of whether the evil god in Luyang Mansion is the earthly and virtuous god, it is better to strike first anyway.

He picked up a big stone and threw it towards the Earth Temple.

Suddenly there was a flash of red and black light in the yellow, and the stone Lu Xingshi threw turned into powder in an instant.

"That's it, it's you. The rest is easy to handle, just beat you to death." Lu Xingshi was not worried about this situation. What he was really worried about was that he had smashed the earth temple to pieces and nothing happened.

As soon as the words fell, the earth suddenly shook.

A violent earthquake struck, causing the entire Luyang Mansion to sway from side to side.

The terrifying malice centered on this earth temple and surged towards Lu Xingshi.

It was obviously mature and no longer intended to be hidden.

"I must be Lu Xingshi, who killed the Great Immortal Huanxi." An old voice emerged, and the Earth Temple began to squirm and rise from the ground.

It was a stooped old man, his clothes were dark yellow and covered with a lot of mud. He looked like a huge little old man bent over, carrying the Earth Temple on his back, and holding a dragon head crutch in his hand, but there was something similar on the crutch. Cracks in the land after drought.

Lu Xingshi recognized the origin of this old man through the novice gift package of Grand Master Gongjing. He was the Earthly God of Houde who he guessed.

It's just that there are many differences between his appearance and that of Gongjing Guoshi. This is caused by the evil caused by the evil world of five turbidities.
