Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 72 Dismounting (3)

  The Zhou family's field is on the outskirts of the capital, and the house is in the outer city.

   After Zhou Li got the third flower, Master Zhou planned to go to the inner city to buy a house. However, the price of land in the inner city is high, and the second house will cost five or six hundred taels. Three-entry mansion, at least two thousand taels.

   With the financial resources of the Zhou family, it was a bit difficult to buy a two-entry house, and the bigger house could only be sighed.

   After coming out of the Xingyang Palace today, Master Zhou sighed in the carriage: "The Xingyang Palace is really spacious."

   That is the best location in the capital, a mansion with five entrances! A martial arts field can accommodate hundreds of guards to practice together, can it be spacious?

Mrs. Zhou recalled what she had seen today, and couldn't help but sighed, "I never thought in my life that A Li could marry a girl from the Xingyang Palace. Unfortunately, A Li is the third young lady. It's better to have a daughter."

   Zhou Li: "..."

   Zhou Li twitched the corners of his mouth and glanced at his mother speechlessly: "Don't talk nonsense in the future. Don't say that Miss Lu Si has no intention of me, even if she does, I don't dare to marry."

   "Mother think about it, can you afford to have such a daughter-in-law?"

   Thinking of the condensed and arrogant Miss Lu Si, Mrs. Zhou shuddered, and shrank her neck, not daring to say a word.

Master Zhou rolled his eyes at his old wife and said angrily, "You are too greedy. King Xingyang is just such a daughter, how could she marry into a small family and be a daughter-in-law. Maybe, Miss Lu Si is going to marry into a heavenly family. To be a princess."

   "You have to keep your mouth shut, but don't be silly and cause trouble for your son."

   Mrs. Zhou was trained one after another, so she didn't dare to talk too much.

  Master Zhou asked his son in a low voice, "Ali, can this marriage come true?"

Zhou Li smiled and comforted his father: "If the Lu family has no intention, we will not have lunch today. Don't worry, in a few days, I will ask the official media to go back to the Lu family again. If you go three or four times, the Lu family will be fine. It's time to let go."

  Master Zhou stretched his brows, smiled happily, and did not forget to remind Mrs. Zhou: "In the future, when Miss Lu San passes the door, you must treat your daughter-in-law well."

   Mrs. Zhou muttered, "Do you still need to say this?"

   Married the daughter of a wealthy family as a daughter-in-law, how dare she act like a mother-in-law. Just laugh more and coax more.

  …

   Zhao official media ran to the Lu family twice within half a month. After the fourth visit, the Lu family relented and agreed to the marriage.

   Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, smiled happily, and immediately managed the engagement to make a marriage contract.

   In the past two weeks, the Lu family and the Shen family have already signed a marriage contract. The eminent monk counted three good days and sent them to the Shen family. At Shen Lan's shy begging, Shen Shilang, Mrs. Shen, chose the fifth day of October.

   Autumn is high and airy, it is time to get married.

  The Zhou family also wanted to marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible.

   Zhou Li delayed his marriage until he was eighteen in order to study for the imperial examinations. If you wait until next year to get married again, it will be nineteen. Mrs. Zhou promised a lot of money, and Zhao's official media also ran extra diligently in the Lu Mansion. In the end, the wedding date was set in the twelfth lunar month.

  The marriage is certain, and Zhou Li, the future son-in-law of the Lu Mansion, can come to the door with integrity.

   Zhou Li was finally able to meet his fiancee Lu Minghua.

   This is the first time the two have met since the day on Jinshiquan Street.

  Lu Minghua was wearing light pink spring clothes, and her beautiful face was even more radiant. The thin blush on her face was rippling lightly, like a peach blossom in March.

   Zhou Li stared at his fiancée, and his heart was hot. I couldn't help but stepped forward and shouted affectionately, "Sister Hua, I finally see you."

   It has been more than a month since he came to propose marriage. Zhou Lishao said that he also came to the Lu family four or five times. Unfortunately, Lu Minghua avoided showing up every time.

  According to common etiquette, a girl to be married should indeed be more reserved. However, Dawei has an open atmosphere, and it is common for fiancées to travel together.

   It wasn't that Lu Minghua didn't want to see Zhou Li, it was Lu Mingyu who stopped her and let her come out to meet Zhou Li until today. Just like that, Lu Mingyu didn't feel relieved, and just stood aside, glancing at Zhou Li from time to time.

   That stance is similar to that of Anti-Wolf.

  Lu Minghua blushed and replied softly, "You and I haven't gotten married yet, so Young Master Zhou should call me Miss Lu San!"

   Zhou Li wanted to have a good marriage, and he really fell in love with Lu Minghua. The young man was enthusiastic and couldn't help but take a step closer.

  Lu Mingyu glanced at Zhou Li.

   Zhou Li stepped back a little embarrassedly, and continued to look at Lu Minghua with eager eyes: "The scenery in the spring is just right, I want to invite Huamei to go on a half-day trip."

  Lu Minghua hesitated for a while, then glanced at Lu Mingyu.

  Lu Mingyu didn't have any superfluous expressions on his face.

  Lu Minghua pursed his lips slightly, and said softly to Zhou Li, "A woman who is engaged to be married, it is inconvenient to travel. Let's forget it!"

  Lu Minghua is so dignified and self-sufficient, in fact, it is more in line with the aesthetics of scholars.

   Zhou Li was rejected, and he was not angry, but a bit of joy was reborn in his heart. He smiled softly: "After that, I will often come to Lu Mansion to see you."

  Lu Minghua hummed with red cheeks, and quickly glanced at Lu Mingyu again.

   Even if he is not happy, the marriage has already been decided. You can't keep fiancee couples from getting close all the time.

  Lu Mingyu sighed secretly and made a random excuse to leave.

   As soon as Lu Mingyu left, Zhou Li felt his whole body relax, and even his breathing became much easier. He looked at Lu Minghua and smiled softly: "It's really strange, I've never seen Fourth Young Lady before, and I haven't offended her. But she doesn't like me everywhere. I've come to the door a few times, but I've given a lot of power. ."

  Yes, Lu Mingyu really doesn't like Zhou Li.

   Back then, when Lu Mingfang and Zheng Zhong got married, Lu Mingyu said that she smiled at Yanyan and shared a brother-in-law. Over the years, he has often come to Lu Mansion to stay for a while, and Lu Mingyu is also quite affectionate to this eldest brother-in-law.

  Ke facing Zhou Li, Lu Mingyu's indifference and unkindness are clearly visible.

  Lu Mingyu has such a temper. Love and hate are clear, like or dislike, all show on the face, never cover up, let alone be false.

   "I have a softer temperament. The fourth sister was worried that I would be wronged, so she deliberately made things difficult for you and brought down the Zhou family." Lu Minghua said softly: "Actually, the fourth sister is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and her heart is the best."

   Anyway, he only felt the cold and coldness of the winter wind.

   Zhou Li muttered in his heart, followed Lu Minghua's voice and said with a smile: "Fourth Miss is well-intentioned, I understand that I won't take it to heart."

   paused for a while, then whispered again: "Sister Hua, don't worry. I am sincere and ask to marry you as my wife. We will be married in the future, and I will definitely treat you well."

  Lu Minghua's cheeks are like red clouds, and his heart is sweet as honey.

  The two were whispering for a while, and Lu Mingyu's personal maid, Qiyun, came over with a smile: "The fourth miss invites the third miss and Zhou Gongzi to go to the martial arts field together."
