Xu Ran took Lu Su and asked about the location of Tianxing Village in Peixian County, but no one knew the location of Tianxing Village. In this way, Tianxing Village should be just a remote village.
In ancient times, it was not good. Communication relied on roaring, and public security relied on dogs. If we are in modern times, we only need to look it up on the Internet, and we can also check it out in remote places.
"Mr. Xu, why are you looking for Tianxing Village?" Lu Su asked curiously when Xu Ran kept asking about Tianxing Village but found no whereabouts.
"It is rumored that there is something immortal in Tianxing Village," Xu Ran said, holding Lu Su's little hand. Not to mention, this kind of ladylike little hand is soft and very comfortable to pinch.
"Mr. Xu, are you kidding? There is no such thing as immortality," Lu Su exaggeratedly opened her red lips and said with a look of disbelief.
Xu Ran smiled without explaining too much.
Back then, the genius doctor Cui Wenzi created three longevity elixirs using the powder of the Tianxing meteorite, and Yi Xiaochuan, Yu Shu, and Gao Yao lived for two thousand years.
It is enough to show that meteorites can make people immortal.
After searching to no avail, Xu Ran took Lu Su back to the mansion where Mr. Lu lived. The residence was arranged by the magistrate of Pei County, and Mr. Lu and the magistrate of Pei County had been friends for decades.
"Lv Gong, I'll take my leave first." When the two came to the door, they saw Lu Gong and Lu Pheasant, sending an old man and a young man away.
The old man was about the same age as Lu Gong. He was wearing brown clothes. Whether it was his words or demeanor, he was not an ordinary person. He should be an official of Peixian County.
There was a man next to the old man. The man looked to be in his early twenties, his clothes were neat and clean, and he had the image of a handsome young man.
The man's eyes kept falling on Lu Pheasant, turning around.
Finally, he and the old man left with a look of reluctance.
"Father, this Mr. Lu is going too far." After the two of them left the place far away, the young man began to complain loudly.
"Shut up, you can call Mr. Lu by his first name," the old man scolded.
"You didn't let me say it, so I just said it." The young man was a little rebellious and said unhappily: "You have been a close friend of Mr. Lu for decades. He came to welcome him warmly and bought a mansion for him to live in. You are such a close friend.
But Mr. Lu didn't take it seriously at all. You came to propose marriage and refused directly."
"Okay, stop talking. It's not good for these words to fall into the ears of caring people," the old man said.
But there was also some dissatisfaction in his tone. He and Lu Gong have been friends for decades, and his son has reached the age of starting a family. Today, he talked about this matter with Lu Gong, and intended to get his son to connect with Lu Gong's daughter and get closer.
However, Lu Gong said that his daughter was destined to be wealthy and would be rich and powerful in the future, so he politely refused his marriage proposal. Wasn't this an obvious look down on his son, and showed that his son would not be rich or powerful in the future?
He is a dignified magistrate of Peixian County, but he is not from a wealthy family.
However, although Lu Gong was not an official, he had a good reputation. As a county magistrate, it was not appropriate to offend him, so even though he was rejected, he still treated Lu Gong with courtesy.
But I still feel a little bit unhappy in my heart.
"Among the celebrities in Pei County, there are quite a few girls who have not yet left the court. As a father, I will seek a new marriage for you," the old man said.
"How can they compare to Lu Pheasant?" the young man muttered.
He is also considered a celebrity in Peixian County. There is an old man who is the county magistrate. He can get wind and rain in Peixian County. What kind of woman has he never seen?
However, when I saw the eldest daughter of the Lu family today, I was shocked and thought that if I could marry such a fairy, I would have no regrets in this life.
Lu Pheasant's beautiful face appeared in his mind. The young man couldn't even listen to what his father next to him was saying, and an evil thought arose in his heart.
And this evil thought became more and more intense.
At this moment, Xu Ran and Lu Su came to Lu Gong. Lu Gong and Lu Pheasant noticed the two of them. Lu Gong's eyes lit up and he said: "Xian son-in-law, you are back."
When Lu Pheasant saw Xu Ran and his sister holding hands, a flash of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but then he smiled calmly and said: 'Mr. Xu, should I call you brother-in-law now?'
"You can call me whatever you want," Xu Ran touched his nose and said.
"Then I'd better call you Mr. Xu," Lu Zhi said with a sweet smile.
Lu Su was a little shy in being so close to Xu Ran in front of her father and sister. She wanted to free her little hand from Xu Ran's hand, but Xu Ran held Lu Su's little hand tightly.
Of course, Xu Ran was not trying to take advantage, but he liked to see Lu Su, an innocent girl, with a shy look on her face.
At this moment, Lu Su's beautiful face was so red that she became a beautiful sight.
"Haha, Su'er was entrusted to me. Now the only thing left is you, Zhi'er. When will you meet your rightful husband?" Lu Gong said with a smile.
"Dad, my daughter is still young and doesn't want to get married yet," Lu Zhi said with a forced smile. He glanced at Xu Ran without leaving any trace, but then looked away.
Lu Pheasant felt resentful in his heart. Last time his father took the two of them to talk. Originally, his father wanted to betroth him to Xu Ran, but the other party refused.
I chose my sister.
Xu Ran moved into Lu Gong's mansion, and Lu Gong arranged a guest room for Xu Ran. After dinner in the evening, Xu Ran returned to the room to practice.
After practicing for about two hours, it was already dark outside.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Xu Ran vaguely saw a woman's figure outside through the thin door.
"Mr. Xu, it's me." Lu Pheasant's voice came from outside.
What was Lu Pheasant looking for? Xu Ran frowned, but still said: "Miss Lu Pheasant, come in."
The door opened in response, and Lu Pheasant slowly walked in from the outside.
"It's so late, what do you mean Miss Lu Pheasant came to see me?" Xu Ran asked.
"Mr. Xu, I came today mainly to clarify some issues," Lu Pheasant said, looking at Xu Ran.
"what is the problem"
"Who is more beautiful, me or my sister?" Lu Zhi said, biting his lip.
Forehead!
Regarding Lu Pheasant's question, Xu Ran felt it was inexplicable, and after careful consideration, he said: "You and Su Su are both beautiful, and both are first-rate beauties."
Lu Pheasant looked much better after hearing this.
"Well, I have another question. It's our first meeting with Mr. Xu. Is there anything inappropriate about it?"
"Miss Lu Pheasant, I don't understand why you ask like this." Xu Ran decided to pretend to be dumbfounded.
"Today, daddy, I originally wanted to betroth me to you, but why would you rather choose my sister than me?" Lu Pheasant asked angrily.
This is the most depressing and painful place in Lu Pheasant's heart, so he came to Xu Ran's place tonight, ready to ask questions.
"Miss Lu Pheasant, this is not your problem. I said that you and your sister have their own merits and are both beautiful," Xu Ran said as he looked to his left.
"Then why didn't you choose me?" Lu Zhi still looked at Xu Ran stubbornly.
"Miss Lu Pheasant, it's already late at night, you should go back to your room and rest," Xu Ran said lightly.
Lu Pheasant took a deep breath, and then forced out a smile: "Excuse me, Mr. Xu."
After Lu Pheasant finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
