Chapter 231 I've made up my mind (2)
Yan Jiulang sat on the sidelines as a bystander, and gradually he saw the way. He remembered that when his sister-in-law kindly came to rescue him, he kept his head down even though he followed the rule of "see no evil, listen no evil" But from the corner of his eyes, he still took a rough look at my sister-in-law. She was born well, and she was a girl with a beautiful heart and a heart. If you want him to say that Zhao Yanjie is indeed a bit unworthy, but Mr. Ling doesn't care about her appearance. It's more appropriate to have a good character, but he doesn't have the place to talk about this kind of thing, so he just dutifully serves as a companion on the sidelines.

Several people had another round of drinking, Ling Mengqi gradually had an idea in his heart, and started to challenge Zhao Yanjie, and drank several glasses with Zhao Yanjie in a row, Zhao Yanjie already had some alcohol, how could he hold back?Almost slipped to the ground, Lu Zhongxian hurriedly asked someone to come in and help him to the guest room, and then asked someone to call in his servant to serve him—but he was getting more and more displeased with him in his heart, of course Zhao Yanjie was not really It's so unbearable, otherwise Mrs. Lu wouldn't have chosen him to be Lu Mingxuan's husband-in-law. The key is that Lu Zhongxian felt that his daughter was obviously worthy of a better man, and with Ling Mengqi Zhuyu in front of him, how could he not have any points in his heart? Pity?
The meal lasted until Shen Shi Fang left, and after the wives vacated the remaining seats and served a bowl of strong tea, Yan Jiulang bid farewell. It was his first visit to Yue's house The door, the parents and elders in the family attach great importance to it. I am afraid that they are anxiously waiting for him to go back to report the situation at home, so he dare not delay any longer.

Fortunately, Lu Zhongxian was also someone who had been there, and understood his mood, so he let him go, told him to go back and ask his relatives how he was doing, and then asked someone to go back to Mrs. Qi, and then asked the housekeeper to return the gift to General Yan Shijiu Lang sent it out.

The rest of the excuse is that when Zhao Yanjie sobers up later, the two of them can just go back to the Duke's mansion together. Ling Mengqi, who has been staying at the Lu's house and refused to leave, saw that Zhao Yanjie was still asleep in the guest room and that Yan Shijiulang was gone. After leaving, it was a rare opportunity, because I gave myself a backlash secretly, and then said to Lu Zhongxian seriously: "I have an important matter to tell Uncle Xian, I wonder if Uncle Xian can make all the servants retreat?"

Lu Zhongxian saw that he was serious about it, and he thought it was some serious matter, so he hurriedly ordered all the servants in the hall to step down and not come within three feet of the main hall, so he asked him, "What's the matter? Tell me now." I listen."

Hearing this, Ling Mengqi took a deep breath, then stood up abruptly and knelt down in front of Lu Zhongxian as if making up his mind, and said solemnly, urgently and quickly: "To tell you the truth, Uncle Xian, I have admired Miss Xuan for a long time. I want to ask Uncle Xian to give me a chance, let me taste my long-cherished wish, if I can get Miss Xuan as my wife in this life, I will never take a concubine or a maidservant, but stay with Miss Xuan wholeheartedly, if I violate this oath, the sky will be struck by lightning , Divided into pieces by five horses, no one dares to tell the difference!"

Good guy, it turns out that this kid came to his house several times in the past few days, and called himself "Uncle Xian" sweetly, and helped him do this and that, but he didn't really fall in love with him, and wanted to have a year-end friendship with him , but the drunkard's intention is not to drink!
This was the first thought that flashed through Lu Zhongxian's mind after hearing Ling Mengqi's words.

Immediately he couldn't help becoming furious, the bastard dared to get his daughter's idea, and even said "I have admired him for a long time", who would allow him to admire his daughter, and dare to open his mouth to ask her to marry him, who did he think he was? As long as he doesn't break his disciple's legs, it's just a dream to dare to think about marrying his daughter!
However, despite being furious, what Lu Zhongxian couldn't deny was that he was still somewhat proud and proud. He said that with his daughter's appearance, how could he only fascinated Zhao Yanjie, a fool, and Ling Mengqi? In terms of showmanship alone, it's still very impressive to take it out. Now that such a handsome person wholeheartedly admires his daughter, and dares to swear those poisonous oaths, it's really hard to think about it!
After Ling Mengqi hurriedly and quickly said what he had been thinking about countless times in his heart, he nervously observed Lu Zhongxian's expression. He would not agree to his marriage proposal, but in just a short moment, his clothes were already soaked in sweat.

Originally, he had just arrived at Lu's house, and when he first saw Zhao Yanjie was there, although he was nervous, he hadn't lost his mind. But seeing that Lu Zhongxian didn't have any ill feelings towards Zhao Yanjie, he remembered that Lu Mingxuan had written to him before. He had hinted that she wanted to marry someone like Zhao Yanjie, and he couldn't help but feel oppressed gradually. As long as Lu Mingxuan didn't object, when the old lady Lu and Lu Zhongxian mentioned it, the marriage would be considered a success. What can he do even if he is sad and regrets dying?Could it be that he would follow the example of the person he hated the most in the palace and try to steal other people's wives?
That's why he temporarily had the idea of ​​expressing his heart with Lu Zhongxian first, so as to at least buy him more time, but he never thought that although Lu Zhongxian likes him on a daily basis, when it comes to his daughter's lifelong happiness, he has his own own principles.

However, looking at Lu Zhongxian's moody face, Ling Mengqi's thoughts became more and more determined, no matter whether Lu Zhong would agree to his marriage proposal or not, and no matter what Lu Mingxuan meant to him now, he He has been married to Lu Mingxuan for the rest of his life. It doesn't matter if their father and daughter don't agree to him now, as long as he continues to work hard, he believes that God will always take care of him!

Thoughts flashed by, Ling Mengqi finally heard Lu Zhongxian speak in a deep voice: "Young master Ling is also from everyone, don't you know that the reason for the big marriage is to emphasize 'the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker', now you have no parents or elders Now, there is no matchmaker here, and you just said that you want to marry my daughter. Who do you think of my daughter, and what do you think of our Lu family? Mr. Ling is easy to leave, please forgive me for not far away Moreover, my family and Mr. Ling are neither related nor related. It is not appropriate for Mr. Ling to come to my house every now and then. I also ask Mr. Ling not to come again in the future, so as not to let others spread rumors about something. It doesn't look good!"

Like pouring a ladle of cold water on his head, it instantly cooled his heart.

But he can give up other people and things, but this is the only thing he will not give up even if he risked his life, because he hurriedly said: "I know that just by saying a few empty teeth like this, I will be able to give up." It is a daydream to ask Uncle Xian to promise his daughter to me, and I dare not have such extravagant hopes, but Uncle Xian should know something about the situation in my family, not to mention that my parents and elders are far away in Linzhou, even if they are In the capital, they may not be willing to propose marriage for me, and I don't want them to come either."

After a pause, he continued: "What I originally thought was that after I had made a fortune, I would go back to the old man and the old lady and ask them to come forward to help me propose a marriage. Then I wouldn't feel wronged Miss Xuan. But the current situation does not allow me to come to ask for marriage after making a fortune. The best proof is that brother Zhao Shixiong went to the door of Uncle Xian's house openly today. I know it must be the old lady and Uncle Xian already has a tacit understanding, so I took the liberty to say what I just said to Uncle Xian in a moment of impatience. I never meant to underestimate Miss Xuan and Uncle Xian. "
