Chapter 59
Xinke Tanhua Lang?
In Lu Lin's mind, a scene suddenly flashed.
The sun was shining brightly, and a handsome young man in a red robe with a hairpin on his head rode a steed past the teahouse. The girl sitting in the teahouse shyly threw down a silk handkerchief.
The silk handkerchief floated in the air, just right on Tanhualang's face. Tanhua Lang stretched out his hand to hold the silk handkerchief, raised his head, and met the girl's eyes, staring at each other.
At this glance, it is already a promise of two hearts. Don't be married, please don't be married. It's an amazing romance...
"Father," Lu Minghua whispered shyly, "Today, the three hundred Xinke Scholars boasted that Tanhua Lang was the most handsome, and everyone looked at him, and I wasn't the only one."
Lu Lin raised his thick eyebrows and patted his chest with a smile: "Don't worry! This matter is covered by your foster father. You wait patiently for a while, and someone will come to propose marriage soon."
The girl is full of sweetness.
Lu Minghua's eyes were shining brightly, and the corners of her mouth raised a sweet and loving smile: "Foster father treats his daughter well, and the daughter will naturally know. However, the daughter does not know who this tanhua lang is, or whether he is married and has children. ."
Lu Lin immediately said: "Don't worry. I'll send someone to inquire tomorrow to find out the family background of this Tanhua Lang."
"If someone has already married a wife and has children, the adoptive father will choose another husband for you."
"If Tanhua Lang hasn't married yet..." Lu Lin slapped his thigh hard, and said arrogantly, "That is the third son-in-law of our Lu family, and he can't run even if he wants to."
Lu Minghua bit her lip and wanted to laugh but held back: "It's up to him to marry me. When the adoptive father said that, it was like going to rob a relative."
Lu Lin didn't care and said plausibly: "If there are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, don't wait until there are no flowers to break the branches. Since we are in a relationship, we naturally have to hurry up and put this flower in a bowl."
Lu Minghua was so embarrassed that her cheeks were full of peach blossoms: "Actually, I only met him for the first time today, and I didn't know who he was, nor had I spoken to him before. I don't know why, but my heart is full of him. Adoptive father, am I being too superficial?"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "This is so superficial. After getting married, who wants to see a face that is too ugly to be seen? How good is it to see a handsome face that is pleasing to the eye? Even if you are quarreling and angry, you can take a look at it and your anger will subside."
He said, proudly revealing the past: "When I was young, your adoptive father, was only a low-level military general. At that time, there was no Xingyang Army. I was an official under General Xiao. General Xiao had only one beloved daughter."
"When Miss Xiao reached marriage age, she wanted to propose marriage and choose a son-in-law. At that time, the door to the Xiao family was almost smashed."
"I am such an inconspicuous low-level military general, I don't even have the qualifications to come to the door to propose marriage, how can I dare to think of such a beautiful thing as being the son-in-law of the Xiao family. I never thought that when I went to Xiao's house, I met Miss Xiao by chance."
"Miss Xiao fell in love with me at a glance."
"General Xiao couldn't beat his daughter, so he married his beloved daughter to me. What was I relying on? Nothing, but this handsome face!"
When referring to the past, Lu Lin did not hide it at all and was extremely proud.
Facts have proved that a capable and handsome young man can always find a good wife.
Lu Minghua burst out laughing, and softly echoed: "Yes, yes, the adopted father is the most handsome."
Lu Lin thought about the past, and his eyes became more and more tender: "Back then, Xiaoyu and her mother, we were young and very loving. We were so happy and after two years she became pregnant."
"Unfortunately, it was difficult to give birth during childbirth. After giving birth to Xiaoyu, she just took a glance at her daughter and left."
The pain in the heart due to the past has gradually faded after more than ten years.
Lu Lin was silent for a moment and then smiled again: "I don't want to mention these old things. You go back first! This matter will be handed over to your foster father."
Lu Minghua blushed pretty and hummed, saluted, and retired.
…
The bright moon was in the sky, and the night wind was blowing.
Lu Lin went to Lu Mingyu's yard in a good mood. He didn't see anyone and was a little surprised: "Where's Xiaoyu?"
Qiyun replied in a low voice: "After returning from the palace today, Miss, she stayed in the house and refused to see anyone. The servants brought lunch in, but Miss barely touched her chopsticks. She brought dinner in, and I don't know if she has eaten or not."
Lu Lin frowned immediately: "What wrong did she suffer in the palace?"
Qiyun sighed softly: "Miss is in a bad mood, and the servant did not dare to ask more."
Lu Lin frowned and knocked on the door: "Xiaoyu, open the door."
After a while, the door opened.
A familiar face appeared in front of him.
Lu Lin glanced at his daughter quickly. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his daughter except for her gloomy and distressed expression, he first breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as people are okay. The rest can be resolved.
"Father," Lu Mingyu locked herself in the room for a long time. Apart from being upset, she couldn't think of any solution. At this time, she opened her mouth and felt a little aggrieved: "You are finally back."
Everyone thought that Lu Mingyu looked like her father.
Actually, Lu Mingyu's temperament was more like her own mother.
Frank and lively, fierce as fire, she would rather break than bend.
She was just such a daughter, raised like a jewel, and pampered. Did she suffer the slightest grievance?
At this time, Lu Mingyu showed a rare vulnerability and gloom, and Lu Lin's heart was almost aching: "Xiaoyu, what happened? Was it difficult when you entered the palace today? Did someone bully you? Is it Queen Qiao, or anyone else?"
He was full of thoughts, but couldn't spit out even a single word.
Lu Mingyu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "No one bullied me. Speaking of which, I did something wrong to others in the past. Now, this 'other' suddenly appeared in front of me. It was like a debt collection."
Isn't this a real creditor?
Moreover, this way of "paying off debts" was also a bit special...
Lu Mingyu couldn't help sighing.
Lu Lin looked at his frowning daughter, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Is it the Third Prince?"
Lu Mingyu shook her head.
Lu Lin suddenly said, "It's the Second Prince!"
Lu Mingyu's mood is complicated and subtle: "Dad, how did you guess right!"
"It's still a guess!" Lu Lin answered the question quickly: "I went to the palace to see the emperor that day, and the emperor told me that the Second Prince and the Third Prince both opened their mouths to ask the Emperor to marry you. Thank God he stopped it. Otherwise, I will have to choose one of these two princes to be my son-in-law."
"After returning to the manor, I thought you don't want to talk about it, so I didn't say anything about the Second Prince."
"You're so worried now that you open your mouth to collect debts or something. If you want to know, it's either the Third prince or the Second prince. By the way, what have you done to hurt the Second Prince? Did you abandon him all this time?"
Lu Mingyu: "..."
T/N Note: I swear the FL's father has all the qualities to write a good Kdrama.
