Lu Sheng walked along the streets, passing by familiar restaurants and shops, as well as a stone bridge.
They stopped outside a magnificent mansion.
"Third Young Master, you're back?"
An old man at the door saw Lu Sheng and immediately recognized him.
"Uncle Fu."
Lu Sheng smiled.
This old man was the butler of the Lu family and could be considered to have watched him grow up.
"Third Young Master, didn't you go to the Qingyang Sect to practice martial arts?”
"Why are you back so soon?"
The old butler quickly stepped forward and took the reins from Lu Sheng.
"I went down the mountain to do something, so I came back on the way.”
Lu Sheng smiled.
"There are guests visiting today. Master, Madam, and Eldest Young Master are in the hall receiving guests and are still busy.”
Uncle Fu said as he brought Lu Sheng into the residence.
"It's okay. I can do it myself."
Lu Sheng waved his hand and planned to rest at home for the day.
He would go to Pujue Temple tomorrow.
At this moment, he happened to see his father and brother escorting a middle-aged man and a young man in luxurious clothes out of the hall.
He was polite, talking and laughing.
When they saw Lu Sheng, they were surprised.
However, he didn't say anything. He continued to chat and laugh with the middle-aged man and the young man as he left the mansion.
At this moment, a graceful woman wearing a golden hairpin with a phoenix head and a pale golden robe immediately walked out when she saw Lu Sheng.
"Sheng 'er, why are you back?"
"Why didn't you write a letter to tell us that you were coming back so that our family could send someone to pick you up?”
"The journey back from the Qingyang Sect is a long one. What if we meet a murderer or a thief on the way?”
This woman was Lu Sheng's mother, Zhao Yunniang.
She held Lu Sheng's hand and caressed his cheek. She said in a concerned tone,"Practicing martial arts must be very hard. Mother saw that you've lost weight. I said that practicing martial arts was too hard back then."
“.......”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
There was a kind of thinness called 'your mother thinks you've lost weight.'
After practicing martial arts for three months, his strength had broken through to the ninth level of body tempering. Not only was he much taller, but he was also clearly stronger.
However, in Zhao Yunniang's eyes, she had lost weight.
He walked into the hall.
There was also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman sitting inside.
She was wearing a light yellow dress that wrapped around her graceful figure. Her black hair was gently tied up, and her face was exquisite, gentle, and beautiful.
However, there was a hint of sorrow between his brows, as if he had been frowning.
"Sis."
Lu Sheng called out when he saw the woman.
This was his second sister, Lu Luan 'er.
"En, Little Sheng is back."
When Lu Luan 'er saw Lu Sheng, a smile appeared on her face. The sorrow between her brows dissipated, and her entire person became brighter.
"Mother, daughter will go down and rest first.”
She stood up and said softly to Zhao Yunniang before leaving the hall.
"Mother, what happened to sister?"
Lu Sheng asked his mother as he watched Lu Luan 'er leave.
The latter's state was obviously not right and he was very unhappy.
"Sigh." "Because of the marriage." Zhao Yunniang sighed.”
"Marriage? Didn't you all disagree with my marriage? We have to wait for that scholar to pass the examination."
"I remember that there are still two months before the imperial examinations, right?”
Lu Sheng asked.
Her sister, Lu Luan 'er, already had someone in her heart.
It was a scholar from West Street.
This scholar had good looks and literary talent. He had even passed the imperial examination last time.
However, his family was poor and his parents were dead. Father Lu and Mother Lu did not want their daughter to suffer with him and did not agree to this marriage.
Unless the latter was willing to marry into his family.
However, not only did the scholar disagree, Lu Luan 'er also disagreed.
He made an agreement with his parents that if the scholar could pass the examination, he would agree to this marriage.
"It's not that Ye Linxiao. It's the Ding family.”
Mother Lu could not help but sigh.
"Marry the Ding family?"
Lu Sheng was a little surprised.
Then, Lu Sheng roughly understood what was going on after his mother, Zhao Yunniang, explained it.
The Lu family's business had reached its current state because of Zhao Yunniang's father, Lu Sheng's grandfather.
But now that Lu Sheng's grandfather was old and his health was deteriorating, others no longer gave him face.
Therefore, the Lu family's caravan was in trouble.
They often encountered unexpected robberies and suffered a lot of losses.
If it was once or twice, then forget it.
But who could withstand it for a long time?
Not long ago, the Lu family's goods were robbed by the Three Rivers Gang.
As a result, the Lu family was in a difficult position and could only rely on a few stores to maintain their finances.
A few days ago, the Ding family came to propose marriage.
He expressed that as long as Lu Luan 'er married the Second Young Master of the Ding Family, he would help the Lu Family resolve the current crisis.
The Ding family was a wealthy family in Nanyu County.
It was more than one level higher than the Lu family. The background behind it was the governor of South Henan County City.
Naturally, he could easily resolve the Lu family's current crisis.
However, this Second Young Master of the Ding Family did not have a good reputation.
He was an ignorant and incompetent playboy who roamed the land of fireworks all year round.
Father and Mother Lu were naturally unwilling to let their daughter marry such a person.
However, the Lu family's situation made them very conflicted.
Lu Luan 'er was very sensible.
She took the initiative to express that she was willing to marry the Second Young Master of the Ding family.
To help the Lu family tide over this crisis.
Under such circumstances, Father Lu finally agreed and replied to the Ding family to settle the matter.
The two people who were just sent out by Father Lu were the Ding family's master and the second young master.
However, although Lu Luan 'er agreed, it was obvious from her expression that she was unwilling.
"Sigh, it's really hard on my Luan 'er.”
As Zhao Yunniang spoke, her heart ached and she couldn't help but cry.
"Mother, leave this matter to me.”
Lu Sheng comforted her.
With his current status as an inner sect disciple of the Qingyang Sect, the Lu Clan's current situation was not considered a big problem.
"Sheng 'er, you're sensible now. You have to help your big brother at home.”
"These days, the family business has been relying on your big brother. Your sister-in-law has been complaining.”
Zhao Yunniang held Lu Sheng's hand and gently patted it.
