Chapter 230 I've made up my mind (1)
The unpleasant result was that after the table, Lu Zhongxian didn't say anything, first ordered Yan Shijiulang to drink three glasses of wine, and then made Yan Shijiulang drink with all sorts of unreasonable excuses, After drinking Yan Jiulang until his cheeks turned red and his voice fluttered, he still refused to give up.

When Lu Mingfu heard Xiaotao's report from behind, she was very distressed, because she complained to Lu Zhongxian in a low voice, "Why is Daddy like this? Brother Yan is a scholar, and he knows that he is not good at drinking, how can he be his opponent?"

After complaining, he wanted to go to the front to rescue Yan Shijiulang, but when he thought that he hadn't passed the door yet, because Yan Jiulang disobeyed his father's wishes, his father might be even more sour, and it would get worse. Wasn't Yan Shijiulang the one who suffered?And if he did this by himself, what if Yan Jiulang didn't feel that he was doing it for his own good, but felt that she was frivolous and disrespectful?
Lu Mingfu thought left and right, and inadvertently cast her eyes on Lu Mingxuan, who was teasing Brother An, and suddenly made up her mind, and stepped forward to hold Lu Mingxuan's hand with a smile, and said in a sweet voice: "Good sister, sister There is one thing I want to ask you, don't worry, this matter is just a matter of little effort for you, you must be willing to help me, okay?"

Lu Mingxuan knew what she was planning when she saw her flattery, so she refused without hesitation: "I don't want to, my sister is going to go by herself, what's the matter with me? Besides, there is no white person in this world." Had lunch..."

It made Lu Mingfu angry and funny at the same time, so she could only say: "That's all right, all right, you can pick whatever is in my jewelry box, just like in the future when you don't have this day and you don't need me !"

Lu Mingxuan was originally teasing her, so she put on a very satisfied look and said, "Just pick out the jewelry for me. As for the time when I may need my sister in the future, let's talk about it at that time!"

Then he went to the front, and on the pretext that Brother An missed his father, he half-asked and half-delayed Lu Zhongxian to the back, and quietly ordered someone to deliver a cup of hangover soup to Yan Jiulang, saying that it was Lu Mingfu who asked him to give it to him. .

How could Lu Zhongxian not know about the little tricks of his two daughters, but pretended not to know, hugged Ang Geer once, and went to the front again.

At that moment, Mrs. Qi finished the previous work and returned to the main room, only hugged Brother An, asked Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu a few words, and a woman came in and said: "Madam, the master asked me to clean up another table. At the banquet, it is said that another Mr. Zhao has come, he is the grandnephew of the old lady's natal family in the mansion, we must not neglect it!"

When Qi heard the words, she didn't feel any difference, so she just said: "Is that Mr. Zhao and the master very close? Why don't you come to the door early and late, but you are here today?" *, Fu went out to work again.

However, Lu Mingxuan's heart was moved. According to the custom, today is the day when married daughters go home to pay New Year's greetings, and it is also the day when the son-in-law goes to his father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings. Originally, Lu Zhongxian should have brought his wife and children back to the Qi family's natal house, just thinking that this is Yan Shijiu It was Lang's first visit, so he rescheduled the day of returning to Qi's mother's house for New Year's greetings to tomorrow. Why did Zhao Yanjie come today?Could it be that Mrs. Lu has made it clear to him that he intends to clear the way in front of the elders?
Even Lu Mingfu saw some clues, because she lowered her voice and said to Lu Mingxuan: "Years ago, Daddy said that the old lady specially asked him to come in and talk, is that what he was talking about? If you want to talk about the conditions, Zhao Cousin's condition is indeed good, but you... have you really thought about it? According to me, you are still young, and you are not in a hurry for this moment, or you can think about it for another year or so, so as to save the future regret?"

"How could I regret it?" Lu Mingxuan smiled wryly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just smiled and said, "Even if I don't believe my own eyesight, I should still believe that the old lady and daddy's eyes are not, they will never harm me, Besides, I also think Cousin Zhao is pretty good, he is motivated and knowledgeable, he treats people kindly, and most importantly, the family population is simple... It’s a good thing that others can’t ask for, how could I regret it?”

"But..." Lu Mingfu waited to say more, seeing that Lu Mingxuan had stood up and walked in front of her mother, holding Brother An in her arms and teasing her, knowing that she didn't want to talk about it any more, she could only sigh secretly, He swallowed back the words that had come to his lips.

The two sisters didn't speak for a while, but just sat silently. Even Brother An seemed to feel the silence of the two sisters, and soon fell asleep on the couch.

I don't know how long it took, Mrs. Qi came back, and smiled as soon as she came in: "I don't know what happened today, not only that Mr. Zhao came, but also that one who came here several times before, who looks better than a woman The beautiful Mr. Ling is also here, the master is very happy, he must be very drunk, I have to make the hangover soup in advance, and then let the guest room be cleaned out, just in case The young master wants to stay overnight, so he won't be in a hurry."

Hearing this, Lu Mingfu took a look at Lu Mingxuan first, seeing her calm face, she couldn't see why, so she could only accept Qi's words with a smile and said: "It's rare for Daddy to be happy, let's get drunk when he is drunk." I was thinking, is my family going to stage a scene of two men fighting for wives today?

In the front hall of the main house of the Lu family.

Lu Mingfu's worried scene of the two men competing for wives did not take place. At that time, Lu Zhongxian, Yan Shijiulang, Zhao Yanjie, and Ling Mengqi, one big and three small, were drinking happily. The Lu family hadn't been this lively for a long time, and Lu Zhongxian was naturally He was extremely happy, and he kept persuading the three younger ones to drink more and eat more food. He never thought that today is the day when Maojiao's son-in-law visits Yue's house to pay New Year's greetings. Needless to say, Yan Jiulang is already his family in terms of etiquette Son-in-law, Zhao Yanjie also passed Ming Road in front of Mrs. Lu, and after he was filial piety, he and Lu Mingxuan got engaged. Ling Mengqi didn't come to the door sooner or later, but why did he come here today?

No wonder he was slow, Ling Mengqi had never revealed to him that he was interested in Lu Mingxuan, even seeing Zhao Yanjie came to the door today, it must be that Mrs. Lu and Lu Zhongxian had reached a consensus, although he was anxious, he never revealed it After coming out, Zhao Yanjie is still more than half a year away from filial piety, and he is not in a hurry, and such a matter cannot be rushed, so he just flatters Lu Zhongxian without a trace, and puts some of himself out What he saw and heard during the mission was slightly polished and told to Lu Zhongxian. He could talk and make things happen, but now he has the heart to flatter his future father-in-law. Lang and Zhao Yanjie also listened.

In comparison, Zhao Yanjie is much inferior, he is not as good-looking as he is, and his eloquence is not very good, he belongs to the kind of person who only reads the books of sages and sages, and does not know much about common affairs. It was the father-in-law-to-be again, so he was unavoidably nervous. When Lu Zhongxian wanted to ask him a few times, he stammered, which made Lu Zhongxian's impression of him a lot discounted. It's far from getting along. Sure enough, people can't just look at the surface, and gradually they have the idea that he is not good enough for his daughter.
