Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 282 Don't give up (1)
Lu Zhongxian obviously forgot about Ling Mengqi's thick skin, he was a master who covered his face with a little bit of alcohol, and was ashamed to call him 'Daddy', so he would really leave if he said he didn't see him, or what? Can the concierge be able to stop him?
So when Ling Mengqi suddenly appeared in his flower hall, Lu Zhongxian was taken aback, pointed at Ling Mengqi and said in a trembling voice: "You, you, how did you get in? Didn't I already tell you that I'm not here?" ?”

Ling Mengqi clasped his fists to salute him first, then smiled and said, "Of course I walked in with my legs, and uncle Xian, aren't you here?"

Lu Zhongxian couldn't help being angry, and took a few breaths before sneering: "I don't believe you can't understand what I mean. I don't want to see you at all. I have seen a thick-skinned person. I have never seen a thick-skinned person like you!" Come on, what are you talking about today, please leave as soon as you finish, I have to go back to the inner courtyard to accompany my wife and children, I don't have so much time to waste time with you!"

Ling Mengqi laughed and said: "To be honest, Uncle Xian, apart from greeting Uncle Xian, I do have an important matter to discuss with Uncle Xian, but it's a long story. Go for a few side dishes, and I'll bring back a jar of good Shaoxing Nurhong, I heard it's been around for dozens of years, why don't we chat while drinking?"

Before Lu Zhongxian could speak, he called out "Tiger", "Bring in the good wine I brought to Uncle Xian!"

Huzi came in in response to the sound, and sure enough he was holding a small jar. As soon as he lifted the cover, the room was immediately filled with the smell of wine. Lu Zhongxian, who loves wine, could smell the wine in the jar as soon as he smelled it. He seemed angry, but he was really happy when Ling Mengqi came to see him today, so he pretended to be reluctant and snorted coldly: "For the sake of the wine, I'll just listen to you today. Tell me something urgent!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to tidy up the table with a reluctance. After waiting for almost a stick of incense, the old and the young sat down opposite each other. Lu Zhongxian first poured three glasses of wine and ate them all in one go before sipping the wine With a little stamina, he said impatiently: "Finally, what's the matter!"

Ling Mengqi started to fill up the empty wine glass with him first, and then filled up his own, then said after deliberation: "Actually, this matter is still related to Sister Xuan..."

Hearing Ling Mengqi say that what he wanted to say was still related to Lu Mingxuan, Lu Zhongxian said without thinking, "Are you still not giving up on Xuan'er? It's okay at this time last year. You don't know her real identity. Now you I already knew it, don't you understand that Xuan'er's marriage is not counted at all if I say it, only the old lady can count it, no matter how much effort you put in with me, it's useless? Besides, the boy from the Zhao family is already a juror. I'm going to join Chunwei again, and regardless of whether he's in the right or not, anyone with eyes can see that he has a bright future. Even though I like you more in my heart, now I think this marriage is pretty good, let alone the old man I'm dead, and I know that there is no room for redress for this matter with the old lady. You should die as soon as possible. There are many good women in the world. Based on your conditions, are you still afraid of finding her? Can't you be a good daughter-in-law?"

But no matter how good the other women are, it's not Lu Mingxuan!
Ling Mengqi smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said solemnly: "Uncle Xian is like a father in my heart. In front of you, I can't lie or cover up. I really haven't given up on Sister Xuan yet." No, it should be said that I have never given up on her. But what I want to tell you today is not this, but something about Brother Zhao."

"About the Zhao family boy?" Lu Zhongxian couldn't help frowning, "What's the matter with the Zhao family boy, could it be... what did he do to offend Xuan'er?" It involves his own daughter, and fathers are usually more sensitive than usual much.

Ling Mengqi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Actually, he hasn't done anything wrong to sister Xuan yet, but does he have this thought in his heart, and will he put his thoughts into practice in the near future? Take action, and no one will be sure."

These words made Lu Zhongxian frowned even more tightly, "Did you know something? Originally, the old lady had agreed with him to be engaged to him and girl Xuan when he came back to Beijing, but now he postponed it until he waited for him." After the exams and the rankings are released, is it because he has a ghost in his heart and has other plans?" If that's the case, if Mrs. Lu is not happy, he must not betroth his daughter to Zhao!
Ling Mengqi said: "I don't know if he has other calculations in his heart, but I only know that the fifth girl has gotten quite close to him recently, and every now and then she wants the girl to quietly send him some letters, food and the like. , and he has neither refused nor responded to the elders."

That is to say, Zhao Yanjie and Lu Mingxin secretly gave and received... Lu Zhongxian became angry when he heard the words, and said angrily: "Good Zhao Yanjie, dare you plan to learn from Chen Shimei, think you have a good future and want to abandon the dross I finally understand why he and the old lady want to get engaged to Xuan'er after the list is released. What he must be thinking is that, with his current status as a juror, he is asking to marry the real lady of the Duke's mansion. I'm afraid it's not enough weight, that's why he put it off until after the list is released, if he wins by that time, he will have enough weight to ask Miss Fifth to marry him, if he doesn't win, he will still have Xuan'er as a spare, it's really disgusting!" Humph , I really think that apart from you, my daughter can't find a better man and better marriage?

While angry, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the matter between my daughter and Zhao Yanjie is only known to a few people now, and they never crossed the road with great fanfare. Fortunately, her usual movements will not have any impact on her daughter's reputation!

Lu Zhongxian was angry for a while, seeing that Ling Mengqi was just sitting and drinking tea, not talking to him, with a calm and composed look, as if Lu Mingxuan was already his, he couldn't help getting angry at him, and sneered: "You didn't go to my house before. Did you just wait to catch Zhao Yanjie? Now that you have caught the handle, you want to use my hand to eliminate your opponents and let you get what you want? Don't you know? Is the behavior of a villain like you not much better than Zhao Yanjie's private giving and receiving? Of course I will not promise my daughter to a half-hearted person who only wants to climb high branches, but I will never promise him to a person Stabbing a friend in the back is a double-faced person!"

Hmph, it's true that there are only two of them in the world. If he doesn't promise his daughter to Zhao Yanjie, he can only promise him Ling Mengqi!
How could Ling Mengqi be calm and calm? He didn't speak because he was beating drums in his heart. He didn't know what Lu Zhongxian would think of him and what he would do next. If he had other thoughts, he shouldn't be the first to tell Lu Zhongxian or Lu Mingxuan.
