Chapter 69
Lu Mingyu's depression and anger quietly faded under Lu Minghua's hopeful and earnest gaze.
She knew what was going to happen later, so she didn't want Lu Minghua to jump into the fire pit of Zhou's house again.
But Lu Minghua, who knows nothing, had her eyes only on the handsome and elegant new scholar and was dreaming of a happy married life.
She cannot reveal past life events.
This meant that everything she said was just "conjecture". Why did she use "conjecture" to prevent Lu Minghua from marrying the person she liked?
Rebirth means there was a chance to start over.
You can do it all over again, but it doesn’t mean everything is going to be a smooth sail.
She didn't want to marry into the royal family again, to be a princess, or to wade into the quagmire again. The appearance of the Second Prince messed up everything. She wanted the Third sister to choose another marriage. But Lu Minghua still fell in love with Zhou Li at first sight, as in her previous life, and insisted on marrying him.
"Xiaoyu," Lu Minghua took two steps closer, firmly holding Lu Mingyu's hand, her eyes becoming more eager: "You have never seen Zhou Tanhua, so you have some prejudice against him. Tomorrow, Zhou Tanhua will come to Lu's house to propose marriage. You can go see him with your own eyes."
"When you see him, you'll know how good he is."
Lu Mingyu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed in a low voice: "Okay, I will see Zhou Tanhua tomorrow."
After just a few words, Lu Minghua breathed a sigh of relief, and the light of joy jumped between her eyebrows: "Xiaoyu, thank you."
A wry smile overflowed from the corner of Lu Mingyu's mouth, and she held Lu Minghua's hand with her hand: "Third sister, my tone was a bit more intense just now, don't take it to heart."
Lu Minghua pursed her lips and smiled: "We two sisters, it's not uncommon to say these words. If it was someone else, they wouldn't be so anxious about my marriage."
Lu Mingyu twitched the corners of her mouth and said no more.
In the evening, Lu Lin and Lu Fei came back from the military camp together.
Lu Lin glanced at the ruddy daughter and smiled casually: "You look quite good. It can be seen that the Shen family's residence has been quite satisfactory these few days."
Lu Mingyu smiled and hummed.
Lu Fei had his fiancée in mind, so he approached with a cheeky face and asked, "Fourth Sister, has Sister Shen mentioned me these days?"
Lu Mingyu teased jokingly, "Within a day, there have been mentions of you at least three or four times, to say the least. I told Elder Sister Shen to wait after the suitable dates have been collected before asking Vice Minister Shi and Madam Shi to pick out a date for you to be able to marry Elder Sister Shen as soon as possible."
Lu Fei's tanned face glowed red with joy.
Lu Mingyu felt extremely happy and relieved when she saw it.
No matter what, at least, Lu Fei can marry his sweetheart, and he will never regret being alone again in this life.
As for Zhou Li…
Lu Mingyu's eyes sank slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
If he wanted to be the son-in-law of the Lu family, let him marry the third sister again. If the Lu family did not fall for a day, Zhou Li would not dare to treat the third sister badly. In the future, she will just support the third sister.
Thinking of this, her heart really felt much better.
Lu Mingyu smiled and said to Lu Lin: "Dad, tomorrow the Zhou family is coming to propose marriage, and you and the second brother will stay in the house. I will send someone to send a letter to the eldest sister and brother-in-law, and ask them to come together."
The gathering of the family showed the importance the Lu family attached to this marriage.
Lu Lin nodded without thinking.
Little did he know, what Lu Mingyu thought was the exact opposite of what he thought.
Very good, let’s give the Zhou family a show first!
…
The next day, it was just right.
The sun is hanging high, and the bright sunlight shines on the plaque of the Xingyang Palace, shining a dazzling light.
Zhou Tanhua, dressed in a light green official uniform, stood outside the gate of the Xingyang Prince's Mansion. His handsome face also seemed to glow.
Mr Zhou and Mrs Zhou were even more excited than their son.
They didn't expect that after their son won the third position, he would be able to climb into this good marriage.
The first general of the Great Wei Dynasty with outstanding military exploits, the only king of Xingyang with a different surname! In the past, the Zhou family couldn't even think about such a family.
The only pity was that Third Miss Lu was only a righteous daughter. Having said that, King Xingyang had only one biological daughter. There were two adopted sons and five adopted daughters, all of whom were treated as biological children.
Being able to marry the righteous daughter of King Xingyang as their daughter-in-law was also a blessing that the Zhou family cultivated for several lifetimes.
"A Li," Mrs Zhou, who had not seen much of the world, was agitated and a little embarrassed: "When I will the Lu Mansion later, what should I say."
The fact that she can give birth to a son with an outstanding appearance, Mrs Zhou's appearance was not bad, and she was also a beauty when she was young. However, in the end, it was a small family, and the most frequent contacts in the past were the wives of other Xiucais.
Today at the gate of the Xingyang Palace, Mrs Zhou's legs were straight and weak, and she was trembling a little when she spoke.
Zhou Li gave his mother a soothing look: "Mother don't be nervous."
Mr Zhou was slightly stronger than Mrs Zhou. He straightened his back and said, "We are here to propose marriage today. For the future in-laws, be more polite."
The matchmaker Zhao, who was over 40 years old, wore a happy red dress with a big red silk flower on her head. She smiled and turned her head: "Mrs Zhou, don't worry. If you're afraid of saying the wrong thing, just say a few words later. Leave everything on me!"
Yeah, she can speak less and let the matchmaker invited by a lot of money speak on her behalf.
Mrs Zhou encouraged herself in her heart.
Zhou Li had experienced the Hall Examination, and at this time he was still stable.
The Zhou family handed over the post, and the Lu Mansion quickly opened the front door.
They were greeted by a handsome boy with a dark complexion and a beautiful girl in red.
The boy was tall and handsome, and his eyes were like torches.
The girl was slender, cool and heroic, with bright and sharp eyes, sweeping through the Zhou family like a sword. Finally, it fell on Zhou Li's handsome face.
Zhou Li: "..."
For some reason, he felt a little guilty, and his breathing was slightly suffocated.
Mr Zhou and Mrs Zhou, not to mention seeing such a cold glance from the red-clothed girl, her legs were almost soft. Don't say step, don't even dare to open their mouth to speak.
Even the well-informed matchmaker Zhao Shi felt her heart tighten and muttered in her heart. This girl must be the rumoured "infinite power" and "fire-like" Fourth Miss Lu.
"You are Zhou Li?" Lu Mingyu opened her mouth lightly.
Zhou Li calmed down and cupped his hands should be: "Exactly. Today I take the liberty to visit the door, I don't know if King Xingyang is in the mansion?"
Lu Mingyu nodded slightly: "My father is waiting in the main hall. My second brother and I are here to welcome you, and I invite Zhou Gongzi's family of three to accompany our brother and sister into the house."
She was speaking politely but those sharp black eyes and a faint expression, made people feel guilty and timid unconsciously.
Zhou Li thanked her politely and walked forward. Master Zhou also mustered up his courage and stepped forward. Looking at Mrs Zhou again, she stood there, unable to move at all.
People: "..."
