The evening breeze was cool, and Lu Zhan and his son returned home together.

The gatekeeper saw the three masters and thought about it. After the ceremony, he plucked up his courage to say to Lu Zhan: "Master, I am here to propose marriage to the second girl today..."

The three of them paused, Lu Zhan, and Lu Rong looked at Lu Ermai at the same time.

This is a happy event, and Mr. Lu couldn't help but smile. Marquis Wukang's mansion is his wife's family. Mr. Lu doesn't like Mr. Wukang's wife, but Marquis Wukang was full of energy on the battlefield back then. Mr. Lu admired him very much. As for the gifts, the young man was elegant and gentle to others. He was not a genius in his studies, but he was also a little smart. If he supports him more in the future, his future will definitely be impossible. Since his wife was determined to kiss her and his daughter liked this childhood sweetheart cousin, Mr. Lu had long recognized this marriage.

But no matter how satisfied he was, he could not be too happy, as if his daughter could not get married except for the gift. Therefore, Mr. Lu quickly put away his faint smile, raised his face, and prepared to be modest to his father and brother, and belittled the gift first. However, before he could speak, the doorman lowered his head and finally finished speaking, "The person who proposed marriage is the eldest cousin."

"Young Master of Cousin?" The proposal of relatives was too unexpected. Mr. Lu could not help but feel surprised and repeated in a low voice.

The concierge looked at him nervously and nodded. He could not say anything if the remaining matchmaker was driven away by the second wife.

After confirming the news, Mr. Lu subconsciously looked at his father. He intended to marry his daughter to the gift, and he was already angry with his father.

Lu Zhan was also cold-faced when he was not angry. He heard that his granddaughter had a marriage change and his expression became even colder. When his eyes swept towards the second son, it was like a cold wind of frost and snow in the cold winter.

The five brothers of the Lu family, except for the seven-year-old son Chong'er and Lu Rong, who are all fathers, even when their children are at the age of marriage, are not afraid of me. The father glared at him and walked forward, but Mr. Lu was blown by his father's eyes and was chilly all over. The gate was not a place to speak. He looked at Lu Rong, and the two brothers also stepped into the yard.

"Second brother, this matter?" The children's marriage was decided by their parents. As an uncle, Lu Rong should not interfere too much, but since he had encountered it, whether it was out of politeness or concern for his second niece, Lu Rong did not go back to the third room immediately, walked side by side with his brother, and asked in a low voice.

"I'm also confused." Mr. Lu smiled bitterly, "It's getting late, third brother, let's go back first. I'll let you know if there is any news."

It’s a bit like a family scandal that should not be made public.

Lu Rong nodded and twitched to the third room.

Mr. Lu also wanted to go back to his yard directly and immediately asked his wife for a clear question, but he couldn't leave. He lowered his head slightly and stepped into the main hall after his father.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhan sat down on the chair with a deep face in the red sandalwood lion-patterned Grand Master's chair, and stared at his son with tiger eyes.

Mr. Lu lowered his head, "Father, I don't know about this. Rong's son first went to ask Huai Yuniang, and then reported it to his father?"

Lu Zhan is usually cold and majestic, and never asked about his granddaughters much, but they are all his descendants. He values ​​all of them. On his side, the granddaughter is like his daughter getting married, and the man is not allowed to suffer grievances to the Lu girl. It’s better for the Marquis of Wukang’s mansion. Before he got married, the two families made such a big show for him. How can he rest assured?

The eldest son of the Marquis of Wukang's Mansion, He Yu...

Lu Zhan recognized He Yu. The selection of Jinwu Guards and the promotion of officials in the inner circle required the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to jointly decide. He Yu went from winning the competition to becoming the deputy general of Jinwu Guards today, and Lu Zhan knew very well. He Yu was worthy of his granddaughter just about being a person. However, Lu Zhan did not believe that He Yu did not know what the elders of the two families meant, and knew that he deliberately disturbed his cousin's wedding. This character...

There is the fourth brother Lu Xun who is involved in the murder of the third brother, and Lu Zhan looks down on the ones who are the most ill.

Frowning, Lu Zhan instructed his son in a deep voice: "You go back first, inquire clearly before coming over."

The implication is that he is going to interfere in his granddaughter's marriage, and the couple should not make decisions without authorization.

The father intervened because he loved his granddaughter. Mr. Lu was able to distinguish himself well and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "My son is unfilial, so he has made his father worry."

Lu Zhan snorted.

Mr. Lu was in disgrace and walked to the gate of the Second Hospital. He saw his baby daughter leaning out from afar, clearly waiting for him.

"Dad!" Seeing his father, Lu Huaiyu's eyes lit up and she shouted sweetly, and then she rushed over lightly like a slutty swallow. Seeing the shyness on his daughter's face and the unconcealed joy, Lu Ershi squinted his eyes slightly. Why did he feel that his daughter seemed particularly happy? He also called "Dad" better than usual?

"Dad, you're back. My daughter misses you so much." Lu Huaiyu hugged her father, acting like a child.

My daughter is grown up, and Mr. Lu has not enjoyed this kind of treatment of "putting to his arms and hugs" in the past two years. He is not stupid. He has worked hard in the Ministry of Revenue for so many years and can't see his daughter's thoughts anymore. He deserves to be scolded to death by a strict father. He knows that his wife must be waiting inside to complain to him. Mr. Lu touched his daughter's head and took his daughter to a small pavilion next to him.

"Didn't you like your cousin before? Why did you change your mind again?" After sitting down, Mr. Lu asked directly. His wife might find him later. He didn't have much time to whisper to his daughter.

Lu Huaiyu sat shyly next to his father, whispered everything about the Lantern Festival, and pouted and hummed, "Every time the lantern is on, Xiao Huan would ask A Nuan if she likes it. Cousin Li never asked me once, and only watch the fun. I like a lantern and asked him to ejaculate for me. He said it was not possible if he didn't even try it. Cousin Yu took the initiative to stand out and penetrated his heart with one arrow. Later, I wanted to buy a candlestick. My second brother had no money, so it was also bought by Cousin Yu for me."

Holding his little hand, Lu Huaiyu put his head on his father's arm, and pulled his father's sleeve with his little hand, saying, "Dad, I like anyone who treats me well, let alone cousin Yu is so capable. My mother doesn't like him, so she drove away the matchmaker. I know that my father loves me, so my father will make the decision for me."

Speaking of the latter, he cried out in grievance, afraid that He Yu would be embarrassed by his mother and would not want her after being humiliated.

Mr. Lu loves his daughter. When he heard that his daughter cried, he couldn't stand it. He hurriedly patted someone and promised, "Huaiyu, don't cry, Daddy knows that the gift is not worthy of you, Daddy will never marry you to him. But He Yu, he didn't do this today, because he liked you, and was eager to marry him, or was he eager to be the son-in-law of our Lu family. Daddy still needs to confirm it carefully."

Most of the girls are simple and easy to deceive. When men treat her well, they really like her. They have handsome, gentle and considerate appearance. In total, few girls are sober. Although Mr. Lu completely eliminated the gifts from his son-in-law, he must ask him in person what He Yu is like.

"Is this different?" Lu Huaiyu thought about He Yu in his heart, but he couldn't hear the profound meaning in his father's words.

Mr. Lu smiled, but there is no explanation for the time being.

After coaxing his daughter, Mr. Lu signaled his daughter to go back first, and he went back to the couple's room alone.

The marriage between his daughter and his nephew was ruined by He Yu. The second wife was so angry that she waited for her husband to come back and complain. Finally, when someone came, the second wife immediately belittled He Yu and his mother Shan back and forth. At the end, she was angry and sat there wiping her tears with grievance, "What a good child, Ali is good to Huaiyu. Huaiyu will be the prince's wife after marrying her. She has a great future, but she is ruined by that toad..."

Mr. Lu heard the left ear and the right ear, but didn't take a word to heart. He agreed to the marriage before because his daughter liked it, but now his daughter doesn't like the gift, and it's a wise decision. The gift is nothing in his heart.

"My father is still waiting for me, I'll explain it to him first." Mr. Lu said with a tense face.

The second wife put down the veil and saw her husband like this, thinking that her husband was as angry as hers, so she didn't say anything.

However, when he arrived in front of Lu Zhan, Lu Erye said something different, "...Father, the gift is not advisable. What about He Yu? I plan to see him tomorrow."

Lu Zhan thought for a while and said, "Just at the Ministry of War. I'll find a reason to call him over and let's review it together."

He Yu was "tried" but Mr. Lu was inexplicably shocked and nodded in response.

The next day.

He Yu was inspecting the Jinwu Guard drill. Suddenly, he heard that Lord Shangshu was looking for him, but He Yu guessed a few points. Thinking of Lu Zhan’s majestic face, He Yu calmed down again and felt a little sweaty all the way. His cousin’s heart was on him, but Lu Zhan answered in one sentence and did not satisfy Lu Zhan, and he probably wouldn’t have a chance again.

Standing outside the central hall where the Minister of War was in charge, He Yu took a deep breath before pushing the door open.

There were only Lu Zhan, Lu Er and his son, who were expressionless, as if they were waiting for the battle.

He Yu immediately confirmed his guess and was nervous on the road. At this time, facing the Lu father and son looking at him unfaithfully, He Yu calmed down instead. He walked to the desk, He Yu lifted up his clothes, knelt down straightly, and lowered his eyes and said, "Yuxin has been in love with me for many years. Because his cousin has never cared about me, a gentleman is not forcing others to do anything, he has never expressed his feelings. Moreover, the second brother belongs to his cousin. As my brother, I should be more polite, but that day I found that my second brother was not as meticulous as I thought. I couldn't stand my cousin disappointment. I was impulsive and took the initiative to show my kindness to my cousin for the first time, and later..."

The remaining two were in love, He Yu did not say anything. He raised his head and solemnly begged them: "Yu Zhenxin begged to marry her cousin, please help the two adults."

Mr. Lu's expression became solemn.

To be honest, before today, he didn't know much about He Yu, his nephew, but only knew that He Yu had been very focused since he was a child. When he was a child, he came to visit his house. After being neglected by his wife, He Yu gradually reduced the number of times he came to the Lu family. This behavior was not mature enough, but Lu Erye could understand that if he was himself, he would not date him again if he looked down on him.

What surprised him was He Yu's scheming, and he explained his reasons for proposing marriage, first pointing out the shortcomings of the congratulations, so that his move to steal the marriage of his younger brother would be a bad match for his daughter and he was famous for his master. Furthermore, He Yu called him and his father two adults, which means that He Yu never wanted to be high.

After living for so long, this is the first time that Mr. Lu Er felt a sense of crisis from a junior. If He Yu was an enemy of his family, then this opponent would definitely be very difficult and should not be ignored.

Of course, this sense of crisis just flashed away. After all, there was no reason for the two families to make enemies. What Mr. Lu was even more worried was that it would be fine if He Yu was sincere if his daughter really got married. If he had another intention, with the scheming he showed in proposing a marriage, his daughter might be eaten by others and he would praise He Yu...

Mr. Lu turned his head and looked at his father. When it comes to looking at people, his father must be better than him.

"You are trying to steal the wedding of the congratulations, aren't you afraid that he will become weak with you after you know it?" Lu Zhan asked in a low voice, as if he was asking about the border war. His deep tiger eyes were fixed on He Yu's face, like a beast hunting. If He Yu dared to say a lie, he would put him to death.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of He Yu's mouth, and he faced Lu Zhan's gaze and said: "If we really have a deep brotherhood, even if he doesn't value his cousin enough, I will continue to endure it."

This is not nice enough, but Mr. Lu knew that He Yu had told the truth and was honest enough.

Lu Zhan's expression remained unchanged and continued to ask: "If Huaiyu married you, the gift would be unwilling to beg her or his mother to deliberately make things difficult for Huaiyu, so what if you?" Lu Zhan had heard of the temper of Mrs. Wu Kanghou, and his daughter-in-law, he was just a woman with a broad mind.

Imagine the situation, He Yu sneered, "If he dares to touch Huaiyu's finger, I will break his hand. As for the house in the backyard, please rest assured, my mother has never been afraid of my aunt, and she will never let her daughter-in-law be harassed by others. If they make unreasonable trouble, I will order people to build a wall in the middle of the two rooms and live their own lives in the future. But don't worry, both of you, because of my father's salary, my aunt will not make such a fuss."

"You're thinking thoroughly." Mr. Lu said irritatingly, unable to accept He Yu's arrogant tone of treating his daughter as his belongings.

He Yu quickly restrained his momentum and lowered his head and said, "Yu knew that the marriage was difficult. If he was not sure about protecting his cousin, he would never dare to ask for a marriage rashly."

Mr. Lu didn't say anything anymore. Lu Zhan touched his beard, changed his previous sternness, and his voice became a little calmer. "Hey, although it is said that people are based on their merits, it is common for them to be wise and avoid relatives. If we become in-laws, I will not only not recommend you for your promotion in the future, but if others recommend it, I may have to suppress it..."

"Don't worry, sir, the promotion depends entirely on personal ability. I am sincere in marrying my cousin. I have never wanted to benefit from this marriage." He Yu raised his head, his eyes were bright and intelligent, so why can't he hear that Lu Zhan has been shaken?

Lu Zhan nodded, "No, I'm ambitious, you go back first, I'll discuss it with your uncle."

At least he recognized his relative.

He Yu tried hard to control the excitement in his heart and said goodbye calmly.

When the person left, Mr. Lu sighed heavily, "Father, Yuzhi is good, but he is too strong. Huaiyu really married him, so he won't be suppressed by him for the rest of his life?" He is a strong person, and his wife is annoying. Mr. Lu is becoming less and less concerned about his wife, but he is worried that He Yu will treat his daughter the same way in the future.

Regarding the relationship between husband and wife, Lu Zhan is stronger than his son, and he couldn't help but squint his son: "The gift is not strong, just Huaiyu will marry him?"

What's wrong with being strong? As long as a man is willing to love his wife, the stronger the grandson-in-law, the more he can protect his granddaughter.

Mr. Lu's heart trembled. Thinking of his weak stepmother at home, he realized that he had made up his words and quickly shut up.

Lu Zhan snorted heavily.

After finishing his day's errand in the evening, Lu killed out of the Ministry of War and saw his third son Lu Rong waiting outside.

"Father, my second brother has gone to meet the saint, which may take a moment to delay." Lu Rong said respectfully.

"Let's go first, don't wait for him." Lu Zhan said lightly.

Lu Rong had no choice but to obey.

After Mr. Lu was dealing with the emperor, the emperor rushed over, where were the father and brothers? Thinking about the fact that he was only late for a cup of tea, Mr. Lu was unfair and was just saying the wrong thing unintentionally, and was rejected by his father?

When he rode his horse home alone, the gatekeeper saw him and immediately replied, "Second Master, the second cousin of the Marquis of Wukang's mansion is here."

Mr. Lu raised his eyebrows, threw down the reins of the horse and gave it to the servant who led the horse, and went directly to the second room to meet his nephew.

The second wife was entertaining and comforting her nephew in the hall, and she still had a glimmer of hope for the marriage. She felt that as long as she told the outside world that the matchmaker who proposed the marriage that day was asked by her nephew, the servants whispered and passed it wrongly, there would be no storm about the two brothers fighting for a wife. At most, there would be a few gossips that would not get in the way.

He Li looked out the door absent-mindedly. No matter how nice my aunt said, it was useless. My uncle was the real person to make the decision.

"Uncle." Seeing the man walking towards Xu Bu, the gift immediately greeted him.

Mr. Lu nodded, glanced at his wife who had come out, and stopped and said to the gift: "Come to my study."

He Li's heart sank, looked at his aunt with a glance, and followed him with heavy steps. After entering the study, He Li immediately knelt down and lowered his head to express his grievances, "Uncle, my cousin and I are childhood sweethearts. My mother has arranged for the matchmaker to propose marriage only after the Dragon Boat Festival, but the eldest brother said hello and didn't beat me and snatched me in front of me, begging my uncle to make a clear explanation and make decisions for me and my cousin."

Mr. Lu sighed deeply and helped him up and said, "I don't know what you said, but he came first, and the news has spread. Even if I don't agree, in order not to make a joke about brothers fighting for their wives, my uncle can no longer betroth Huaiyu. Ali, people's words are terrifying, and you can't beat Huaiyu. You are still young, so you should focus on your studies first, and then find a good marriage in the future."

Whether it is the action of supporting the gift or the earnest comfort of this speech, it is very intimate.
To be continued...
