"Sister, why do you think Young Master Yi left just like that? I haven't properly expressed my gratitude to Young Master Yi!”Lu Zhi pouted and sighed with a regretful face.
Lu Sujiao was soft and shy. She said in a low and steady voice," Although Young Master Yi's martial arts are extraordinary, his actions are rather unrestrained. Susu doesn't like him very much…"
Lu Zhi stubbornly said," I like this kind of humorous person. I think Young Master is calm and polite. Isn't that Susu's type?" Xiang gongzi is indeed a wonderful person. He gave up such a luxurious and spacious carriage just like that. He probably can't bear to let his delicate little sister suffer in that old and bloody carriage, hehe…"
"Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Su's face turned red as she said coquettishly,""Young Master Xiang is humble and polite, and he is also very talented. How could he, how could he take a fancy to a mediocre girl like sister…"
Although she said that, Lu Su's heart couldn't help but beat wildly when she thought of Xiang Yufei's fiery and invasive gaze.
"Younger Sister still says it isn't? Look at the silver mirror that Young Master sent over. I really didn't expect that there would be such a clear mirror in the world. It's many times clearer than the bronze mirror we use! I'm afraid none of the concubines in the palace would have such a treasure. Young Master Xiang actually gave you such a priceless treasure and said it wasn't interesting…"
Lu Su lowered her head like a quail. Her cheeks were burning hot, all the way to her ears. However, Lu Zhi could not bear to let go of it, happily dressing up in front of the palm-sized silver mirror, all kinds of envy and teasing.
Lu Su thought to herself, Young Master Xiang, if you are interested in me, Susu, Susu will definitely not let you down…
For a moment, the carriage was filled with spring.
Duke Lu was extremely satisfied with Xiang Yufei. Now that they were in the same carriage, Duke Lu was so excited that it was as if he had found the feeling of his youth. He pointed at the various famous mountains and rivers outside the window and explained them non-stop. He had all kinds of allusions at his fingertips, and his saliva flew everywhere. Xiang Yufei was drowsy listening. Damn it, if I didn't treat you as my future father-in-law, I would have fallen out with you long ago.
However, on the surface, it was indeed like a spring breeze. From time to time, he would ask a few questions, satisfying Master Lu's teacher addiction.
Although Lu Gong had already intended to betroth a daughter to Xiang Yufei, how could his father-in-law personally say such a thing? Wouldn't that be lowering their value? In particular, he was famous as a great scholar, but no matter how Lu Gong hinted, Xiang Yufei was like a blockhead. Lu Gong was secretly anxious, and soon arrived at Xiao Pei.
Hearing that Xiang Yufei had already sent someone to buy a house in Xiaopei, Lu Gong was relieved. Since he had already settled down, he would not leave for a short time. There would be many opportunities for marriage in the future.），I don't believe I can't handle you!
In fact, Xiang Yufei had come to Xiaopei to select talents. It had to be said that the small Xiaopei was a mix of good and bad. Putting aside the future Han Gaozu Liu Bang, the current county magistrate Xiao He, the future Han Prime Minister Xiao He, General Fan Kuai, the future founding hero Xiahou Ying, and so on, the first thing Xiang Yufei had to do was to immediately befriend all the talents and find an opportunity to kill the scoundrel Liu San Ye.
Xiang Yufei continued to distribute a large number of lighters, glasses, music boxes, silver mirrors, and other treasures in Xiao Pei, setting off a frenzy of buying. The prices were raised to an unbelievable price, but there were still many foreign merchants and aristocratic families scrambling to buy them.
Duke Lu's eyes were burning with desire. Although he wanted it, he didn't have any money in his pocket! Because they were robbed by bandits, they had suffered heavy losses. The remaining money could only last them for a month at most. Now, it was time for her daughter to sell jewelry to survive. However, there were countless scholars visiting at the door. They did not bring gifts when they came to visit, and they even had to pay wine and food when they received them. Therefore, Duke Lu felt a pain in the ass and said that he was not feeling well and refused to see guests.
Lu Gong groped for the silver mirror that his daughter Susu handed him. This was the 'love token' that Xiang Yufei had given him. He was afraid that he would have to sell it at this time. Lu Gong also knew that the price of this silver mirror was not low. It would be enough for three to four months of expenses if he sold it. However, he was a dignified Lu Gong, a respected scholar, and had to rely on selling his daughter's jewelry to survive. This was simply a great shame!
As for borrowing money?
He couldn't bring himself to do so. No matter which era it was, scholars despised peddlers and pawns. They thought that businessmen were all reaping without sowing, and that being tainted with the stench of money was like being inferior to others. It was a pure twisted arrogance.
Seeing Lu Su reluctant to part with the mirror and her pitiful yet forced to pretend that she did not care, Duke Lu's heart twitched.
"Looks like I have to personally go and propose marriage.”
Lu Gong sighed. If Xiang Yufei became his son-in-law, not only would his daughter have a good home, but he would also have a good son-in-law. Moreover, the distance was so close. If the other party's parents died, wouldn't he have a son out of thin air? Furthermore, Xiang Yufei's family was extremely wealthy. Wasn't this priceless treasure sold by him? In addition, he was extremely satisfied with Xiang Yufei's talent. Even if both of his daughters married him, it would not be a loss!
But the key was…he couldn't bring himself to do so!
At this moment, the butler sent a message. Xiang Yufei had arrived!
Duke Lu's spirit was greatly shaken!
"Hurry up and send it! Quickly pass it on!"
"Greetings, Duke Lu!"
Xiang Yufei walked in. Behind him, Han Xin and Peng Yue each brought a dozen men with them. They were holding trays in their hands. Two of the trays were stacked to form a pyramid of gold. Three of the trays were filled with jade and jewelry. The remaining trays were filled with all kinds of treasures. They were very valuable. Lord Lu, the butler, and his two daughters were dumbfounded. They did not know what Xiang Yufei was up to.
"Haha! Duke Lu is a blessed person!" After a loud laugh, a refined middle-aged man walked in.
"So it's the county magistrate!" Lu Gong saluted him.
"I'm here today to propose marriage on behalf of Young Master Xiang!" Xiao He bowed repeatedly.”
"Propose marriage?" Duke Lu had already guessed it, but he was still excited.
Lu Su's pretty face was bright red. She hid behind her elder sister and was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to raise her head. Lu Zhi looked at the mountain of gold, silver, and jewelry. He didn't know where his heart had flown to, and all that was left was envy and jealousy towards his younger sister.
Xiang Yufei once again threw a fiery gaze at Lu Su. Lu Su simply did not dare to raise her head.
" Lord Lu, I've been deeply in love with your daughter Susu for a long time. I wanted to propose a marriage, but considering the importance of marriage, it requires the words of a matchmaker and a prestigious person to witness the marriage. How can I ask for it privately? This will not only affect Lord Lu's reputation, but also neglect Susu. Because of this, I delayed for a long time before I finally asked the county lord.”
Lu Gong was overjoyed when he heard this and stroked his beard repeatedly. It turned out that Young Master Xiang had already known that he was interested and had even prepared so thoroughly. How could he not make his father-in-law happy?
Moreover, the many betrothal gifts that Xiang Yufei had sent had solved the urgent need of the Lu Residence. With such a wealthy son-in-law, the Lu Residence would definitely be incomparably glorious in the future!
"Then, Susu, what do you think?" Lu Gong asked with a smile.
Marinda's cheeks were flushed and she was already extremely embarrassed. She said softly and gently,"Father alone can make the decision."
Lu Gong laughed loudly and clapped his hands impatiently."I agree!"
Lu Sufeng took small steps like a child and ran back to her room shyly and happily. The joy and sweetness in her heart were not worth mentioning to outsiders.
