After coming out of the Princess's Mansion, Lu Zimo immediately rushed back to the Marquis' Mansion. Yuan Lu happened to be standing in front of the door waiting for him. As soon as the Marquis left the yamen, he, a man of many servants, had no time to catch up. Now he saw Lu Zimo riding a horse.
The horse came back, and I felt relieved at the moment. I heard that the old Marquis had returned to his home, and if the young Marquis followed him in later, there would be an explanation.
"Little Marquis, you are finally back." Yuan Lu stared at Lu Zimo with bright eyes, as if he was his life-saving straw.
Lu Zimo turned over and dismounted, looked at a carriage listening at the door, and knew something immediately. The carriage that his father used to go to the court on weekdays was parked here, which meant that his father had returned to the mansion. The reins in his hands were loosened, and Lu Zimo didn't pay attention to it at all.
Instead of losing his fortune, he strode into the mansion. Now, the only thing that can save Liu Meizhuang is the death-free gold medal in his father's hand.
"Hey, little Marquis, the old Marquis is in the study." Yuan Lu looked at Lu Zimo's figure and told him from behind, Lord Lu. He had served the young Marquis for so many years, how could he not understand that the young Marquis was looking for the old Marquis?
What's the matter? When I think about it, it's probably Miss Liu who has fascinated the young Marquis all day long. No, it should be said to be the young lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Mr. Lu Hou is in the study at the moment, but he is not reading a memorial, but a portrait. The women in the portraits are either as quiet as water, or as graceful and graceful, or as dignified and beautiful, each with its own characteristics. Mr. Lu nodded with satisfaction.
, this portrait is obviously much better than the one I got last time. His son, Lord Lu, and his future wife, should be very outstanding in appearance and temperament. A woman who can be worthy of Zimo.
, even if he is not as rich as a princess, he must still be of pure wealth.
"Matchmaker, it's rare to find a girl in a boudoir this time." While watching, Lord Lu also praised the matchmaker who was standing aside.
The matchmaker was dressed up in a gorgeous way, and she was very excited when she heard what Mr. Lu said. "Those are the daughters-in-law of Mr. Lu. They must be the ladies of great families. These are all official ladies from various families who have not yet left the government.
They are all one in ten thousand, and ordinary people’s Xiaojiabiyu can’t even compare.”
I continued to look at the pictures of the ladies from each family. They were beautiful, slender, elegantly dressed, and quite good-looking. Although their temperaments were not as refined as Liu Meizhuang's, they were well behaved. His experienced eyes suddenly stopped at the two pictures.
Both women are in full bloom, one is as lively as a spring orchid, and the other is pitiful. The beauty of these two women is also considered to be of high quality. Although they are not the beauty of a country, they are still beautiful and fragrant. In such a situation,
In the painting, there is a bit more gentleness and tenderness that a Jiangnan woman should have.
"Which family do these two daughters belong to?"
The matchmaker couldn't help but smile when she saw Mr. Lu's eyes resting on the two sisters. She was Shao Ai, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, and had a lot of aura. No wonder even Lao Lou liked her a little. Speaking of which,
She asked people to inquire about these two paintings for a long time and spent a lot of money on them.
"I'm afraid the Marquis doesn't know that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has just been wronged recently, and these two are the fourth and fifth ladies of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. The one in the autumn fragrant dress is the elder sister Gu Wenyan, and the one in the lake blue dress is the younger sister.
Gu Wenshu, her elder sister is graceful and generous, and her younger sister is as tender as water. She is a well-known beauty in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that the Third Young Master Gu has ordered that the two young ladies from far away in the south of the Yangtze River be picked up. If the young marquis is
By marrying one of them, the Marquis and the Marquis of Zhenyuan will become even more intimate."
It turned out that they were two girls from the Gu family. Mr. Lu smiled. Mr. Gu had hidden his identity in Jiangnan for more than ten years. No wonder these two girls also have the flavor of Jiangnan women.
"Dad." Lu Zimo walked all the way to the study without looking at the matchmaker next to him, only looking at Mr. Lu.
When Mr. Lu saw him coming back, he smiled even more. "Zimo is back, and my father has just sent portraits of girls from various families to see if there is a girl he likes. If so, my father will call me
People come over to propose marriage."
His son is good at everything and has potential in everything, but he has yet to marry a real wife. As a noble girl in Kyoto, he prefers everyone who can catch his eye. Without even looking at Lu Zimo's face, he walked over and lined up.
Lu Zimo put his shoulder on his shoulder and asked him to go in and take a look. Maybe this time Zimo would find two more that would catch his eye, and it wouldn't be in vain for him to look for a matchmaker to add a daughter-in-law to the Marquis.
Lu Zimo stretched out his hand to push away Mr. Li, and knelt down in front of Mr. Lu with a stern look on his face. "Since dad just came back from the palace not long ago, I believe he must have heard about Zhuang'er, a criminal who deceived the emperor.
Mo begged dad to come to the rescue and save Zhuang'er."
The matchmaker stood aside, looking a little embarrassed. This little marquis said every word, maybe he already has a sweetheart...
Unexpectedly, Lord Lu's face turned cold when he heard this. Yes, it was true that not long after he came back from the palace, he happened to bump into Eunuch Guan who went to report to the emperor, and got the bully from Liu Meizhuang that she disguised herself as a man to take part in the imperial examination.
Jun Xing. Seeing Lu Zimo acting like this, Mr. Lu felt a bit resentful that iron could not become steel. He, Lu Zimo, was the most respected young prince. He couldn't get any woman he wanted, so he chose a married woman. If it was Liu Mei.
It would be nice for Zhuang to be a woman with an innocent fortune, but she is already married. Why is this stupid son of his so stubborn?
"Humph, why did you suddenly come back because of that woman? To tell you the truth, my father can't help you with this matter. Liu Meizhuang, a criminal who deceives the emperor, cannot escape the death penalty. Since the establishment of our dynasty, we have
Such a rash and bold behavior has never happened! This time, the emperor will definitely be furious. Even if your father and I are a high-ranking official, I don't have the ability."
Once this matter is investigated, many officials must be involved, even Mr. Qiao Ge will be implicated. Isn't he just looking for trouble by running up and interfering at this time? He, Lord Lu, is bored in the house all day long.
He was free, but not so free as to meddle in other people's business. Since it was a matter of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, it was best for him not to get involved. Besides, if Liu Meizhuang really died, that would be the end of Zimo's life.
Why didn't he indulge in such a good thing? The death of a beauty was just enough to make Zimo give up. Marrying an official daughter and giving birth to a fat boy in two years was just enough to make Zimo feel at ease.
Live life.
If others said that he didn't have the ability to save Liu Meizhuang, he would definitely believe it, but if this person was Lord Lu, he, Lu Zimo, would definitely not believe it. Now, the only person who can save Zhuang'er is his father.
"Dad, don't you still have a gold medal for immunity from death in your hand?" That's right, he was staring at the gold medal for immunity from death in Lord Lu's hand. Even if it is the crime of deceiving the emperor, there can still be a solution. As long as Dad is willing
With help, Zhuang'er will be fine and live a happy life.
Lord Lu's face was livid with anger. He thought Zimo was sane, but he didn't expect him to be so brainless. Yes, he did have a death-free gold medal in his hand, but it wasn't that easy for him to give it to him.
"My father will never give you this gold medal to avoid death, and he still has to save a married woman." After saving Liu Meizhuang, do he have to watch her continue to ruin his son's life?
Mr. Lu Hou is stubborn, but Lu Zimo is even more stubborn. "Dad, Zimo has never asked you for help in his whole life. Today, Zimo begs you, please take action, please come to the palace, please save Zhuang'er. If
Dad insisted not to save Zhuang'er, so Zimo asked to go to jail with her and live and die together."
Lu Zimo banged his head hard several times, and a layer of skin fell off, and blood oozed out. He, Lu Zimo, may not get Zhuang'er in this life, but he cannot watch Zhuang'er die with his own eyes, he wants to see Zhuang'er happy. He
He knew that as long as he was meaner, he could threaten Gu Liufei and get Zhuang'er, but he didn't want to do that. The person in Zhuang'er's heart was never him, Lu Zimo. In this case, he no longer forced it, he just wanted to see her happy.
Go down.
This stupid son, he is so smart, can't he see that he is not in people's hearts at all? The only person he hurts in the end is himself. The son he raised with his own hands plotted against himself in this way.
He clearly knows that he is the only son in his life, but now he is threatening his father with his own life!
Okay, in this case, he can't agree if he doesn't agree. Looking at the blood on Zimo's forehead, a trace of heartache flashed in Mr. Lu's eyes. Zimo has grown up so big, he hasn't even suffered a bit, it's just the usual cuts.
He would also clamor to punish his servant, and now he couldn't bear to see him like this. However, it was not that easy to get the death-free gold medal in his hand.
"If you want me to save Liu Meizhuang, you can use your marriage as an exchange."
He wanted a daughter-in-law, not just for a day or two. He believed that Zimo should know how to do it. A gold medal for immunity from death, and a daughter-in-law, it was a good deal!
"Okay!" Lu Zimo didn't seem surprised when he heard Lord Lu say this. He also knew that his marriage was what his father had always wanted to accomplish. As long as his father promised to save Zhuang'er today, a marriage would be
That's it, it's no big deal. Anyway, he can't be with Zhuang'er in this life, and he doesn't expect to find a woman he likes. Isn't it his position as his head wife? There is nothing he can't give, since that person is not Zhuang'er
Son, it doesn’t matter to any woman.
Standing up, Lu Zimo glanced at the scrolls on the desk casually, and happened to pick up the portrait of Gu Wenyan and Gu Wenshu in his eyes, and frowned. Well, he was marrying anyway, so why not marry a woman who is connected to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?
, In this way, he can at least have some relationship with her. Lu Zimo knocked three times on Gu Wenyan's portrait.
"Just her, dad, don't forget what you promised me."
"When have you ever seen me break my promise?" Lord Lu walked forward, handed the scroll to the matchmaker on the side, and signaled the matchmaker with his eyes not to tell anyone about today's events.
"Just this one. When the woman returns to Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, she will come to propose marriage in three days."
The matchmaker took it with a smile and glanced at the young prince before leaving. She had been a matchmaker for so many years and had never seen anyone forcing his son like Mr. Lu.
