The two young ladies of the Lu family had long reached the age of marriage. If the Lu family had not fled far away to seek refuge, the marriage of the two young ladies would have been decided a few years ago. Now, it had been delayed again and again. Today, the young lady was already nineteen years old...
In the Lu Family, Old Master Lu was feeling emotional. Among the many outstanding talents in Pei County, he was the one who hit it off the most with Xiao He. He had also mentioned to Xiao He many times that it would not matter if Lu Zhi could marry into the Xiao Family and become the second branch. After all, Lu Zhi was already nineteen years old…
Moreover, in Old Master Lu's opinion, Xiao He was definitely not someone ordinary. Sooner or later, he would rise to fame. If his daughter followed him, it would also bring prosperity to the Lu family.
However, Xiao He was determined not to marry her. Xiao He said that he already had a good wife at home and did not dare to expect it.
"Now that Lord Xiao He has gone to Xianyang to be an official, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet again…"
At this moment, the eldest and second daughters of the Lu family appeared. Old Master Lu looked at the two daughters and said,"It's a pity that my two daughters have wasted their youth because of this old man!”
"Father, don't be sad. It's not like our daughters can't find a good family.”
Old Master Lu looked at his beautiful daughters and sighed.""It's easy to find someone, but it's difficult to find a good family! It was hard to find a talent like Xiao He!”
Lu Zhi was already nineteen years old this year. If she was the daughter of another family, she would have gotten married at the age of fifteen or sixteen…
Lord Lu thought, Lord Xiao has already gone to Xianyang to be an official. If Lord Xiao can find a good son-in-law for himself in Xianyang…
Thinking of this, Old Master Lu shouted,""Men, bring the Zi Zi horse over. This old man will send Lord Xiao off!”
The Lu family was once a large family in Shandong. Later, they offended someone and moved here. The Lu family had a huge business and a good horse called Zi Zi. It was a pure desert horse.
Xiao He's mansion was unprecedentedly lively. When the villagers heard that Xiao He was going to Xianyang to be an official, they came to congratulate him and carried gifts in their hands. Xiao He's achievements in Pei County over the years were obvious to all. Now that Lord Xiao was going to Xianyang to be an official, the villagers were naturally reluctant.
Just as it was bustling, Master Lu came with heavy gifts. Other than cloth, there was also rice and meat.
Xiao He came out to welcome them.
Accompanied by everyone, Old Master Lu entered Xiao He's residence. At the banquet, Old Master Lu said,""The journey to Xianyang is dangerous. I have a purple horse for you to relieve your fatigue.”
Xiao He's expression changed drastically as he waved his hand and said,"How could I dare to accept such a precious gift? Master Lu, you can't do this.”
Xiao He tried to evade. Elder Lu had brought this purple horse from Shandong. In the entire Pei County, no other horse could compare to this batch of purple horses.
This horse was worth thousands of gold!
If he sold it, he could buy a hundred acres of fertile land!
How could Xiao He dare to accept such an expensive gift?
Master Lu took Xiao He's hand and invited him to a place where no one was around. He said,"This old man also has a request for Lord Xiao.”
"Please speak, sir."
Xiao He was moved. The Lu Family had given him such a valuable gift, and the request was definitely not an ordinary one.
"Lord Xiao, you know that I have four children, two sons and two daughters. My eldest daughter, Lu Zhi, is already 19 years old. I also want to find a good husband for her. Xiao Se, Pei County. Lord Xiao, you will definitely meet many young elites in Xianyang. By then, if there's a handsome man like Lord Xiao, he could be a matchmaker for my two daughters…"
"Good, good. I will definitely think about this matter when I go to Xianyang. However, Xiao He can't take this horse.”
"You must accept it. This journey to Xianyang is 1800 miles. If you don't have a good horse, how can Lord Xiao go to Xianyang? If Lord Xiao doesn't accept it, how can I still have the face to stay in Pei County? It's better to move my family elsewhere so that people won't talk about it!”
Old Master Lu stuffed the horsewhip and reins into Xiao He's hands.
Xiao He looked at the Purple Horse and also liked it. After he grabbed the reins, he said,"Xiao He received the reward without merit. If Xiao He stays in Xianyang this time, he will be my daughter and find a good Langjun with good character!”
"Ah, that's right!"
Old Master Lu was overjoyed. Xiao He was a cautious person. If he promised, he would definitely do it properly. Old Master Lu went to the banquet and drank a few glasses of wine for Xiao He!
The next day, the messenger sent by Li Che was full of food and wine. Xiao He and the messenger rode a horse to Xianyang. Before they left, Xiao He's fellow countrymen sent him off for more than ten miles. Liu Bang, Lu Wan, Fan Kuai, and the others looked at Xiao He's departing figure with yearning in their hearts.
"When will I be able to ride a tall horse like Lord Xiao and go to Xianyang, which is 1,800 miles away?”
In the crowd, Liu Bang crossed his arms and said.
As soon as Liu Bang finished speaking, the old man of the Liu family chased him to the official road."Liu Ji! Liu Ji! You rascal, where are the sheep at home! Where's the sheep?"
"I sold it for Lord Xiao's travel expenses!”
"It's fine if you give it to Lord Xiao as travel expenses. If it's used by you, this unfilial son, to play with money, see if I won't break your dog legs!”
Liu Bang's father was carrying a rolling pin in his hand. He had finished his farm work and was returning home. When he saw that the two sheep in the sheep pen had disappeared, he immediately knew that Liu Ji had taken them away. He quickly asked someone and chased them onto the official road.
When he heard that he was selling the sheep to Xiao He for travel expenses, his anger subsided by half. If he went to play with money or drink, he would not forgive Liu Ji.
Xiao He followed the messenger all the way to Xianyang City. He rode at top speed. If he calculated it as 300 miles a day, it would take him six days to travel 1,800 miles…
When Xiao He rushed to Xianyang City, Li Che had already entered Xianyang Palace with the 18 Laws of Qin Dynasty!
