After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death
Chapter 129 Lu Kui's Feelings
Lin Shiqi and his mother were dumbfounded and thought at the same time, is Lu Kui possessed by a demon?
How could he dare to accept his gift? He immediately jumped up as if his beard was on fire and tried to pull him up: "Master Lu, you are embarrassing me! Please get up quickly."
Lu Kui remained motionless and repeated, "Please help me, brother."
Lin Shiqi said anxiously, "We can discuss it in the long run. Why is Lord Lu doing this?"
Lu Kui said stubbornly: "If Brother Lin doesn't agree, I won't get up."
This is really a case of a scholar meeting a soldier, and it is difficult to explain the reason.
Lin Shiqi was so worried that he could only look at his mother. However, in all her life, this was the first time that Mrs. Lin had encountered someone who did not play by the rules.
Then she remembered to ask the maids who were serving on the ground to get off, and then she sighed: "Master Lu, please get up first, so that we can talk about things."
Lu Kui raised his head and stared at her intently: "Madam Lin, have you agreed?"
Madam Lin looked at her son helplessly. Lin Shiqi closed his eyes and said, "Brother Lu, you have to tell me clearly what you want to do. I will not refuse to help you if I can."
After hearing this, Lu Kui's expression immediately turned from gloomy to bright. He immediately stood up, grabbed Lin Shiqi's arm tightly, and said happily: "Good! You are really a good brother."
As he said this, he pulled Lord Lin and sat down next to Old Madam Lin without any hesitation, and urged with a burning gaze: "If you want to marry Miss Shen, what should you do?"
Mrs. Lin was choked by this remark and coughed for a long time. She drank tea twice before she could barely suppress the cough. She said awkwardly: "Lord Lu, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. This..."
Lu Kui interrupted her bluntly: "My parents have passed away a long time ago, so it is up to me to decide who I marry."
Madam Lin's words were stuck in her throat, so she could only try to persuade him tactfully: "That being said, you also have to consider Miss Shen's wishes, right?"
Speaking of Miss Shen, Lu Kui finally became more patient. He asked, "Then how should we do it? Please give me some advice."
Lin Shiqi, who was standing by, finally couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Master Lu, I heard from my daughter that this Miss Shen is four years younger than her, and she is only thirteen now!"
It turns out that Lu Kui had been an orphan since childhood. Although he was raised in the home of his maternal uncle, he was only provided with food, clothing and writing, and was completely left to grow up. This is how he developed his current eccentric, paranoid and ignorant character.
When it comes to arresting criminals, adjudicating cases and investigating lawlessness, Lu Kui knows everything without any instruction; but when it comes to love affairs and marriage, he is really confused and knows nothing.
He asked blankly, "So what if it's Thirteen?"
Lin Shiqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "In our dynasty, women start talking about marriage when they are fifteen years old. Little Miss Shen is still young, even if Lord Lu is interested, it's too early."
Lu Kui suddenly realized: "So there is such a thing. Then I can get engaged to Miss Shen first, and then marry her in two years, right?"
Lin Shiqi said, "How can it be that easy? Generally, families that are a little more particular will indeed slowly look at each other before the age of 15, but they are mostly old friends and have known each other for generations. I would like to ask, what are Miss Shen's father's and mother's names, where do they live, who are the people in her family? Has she been engaged since childhood? I'm afraid Lord Lu doesn't know anything about these, so how can he talk about marriage so easily?"
These words made Lu Kui lower his head and think deeply.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the master thought that he had understood. Who would have thought that after half a cup of tea, he raised his head, clapped his hands and smiled, "Thank you for your advice, Brother Lin. I have thought about it carefully and have figured it out."
Madam Lin was startled when she heard this and couldn't help but ask, "What have you figured out?"
Because he had done so many things like confiscating property and exterminating clans, Lu Kui was cursed behind his back, as if he were some kind of Yama demon with a green face and fangs and a ferocious appearance.
But in fact, hidden deep in the shadows, he had a pair of eyes as innocent and clear as a child's, like two balls of black mercury nurtured in white mercury.
The pair of eyes glowed with joy, and Lu Kui said seriously: "Miss Shen is not from the capital, so I think her parents and relatives are all in Jiangdu. When I finish my work in the capital, I will go to Jiangdu and ask for the consent of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. She now lives in the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion. I will buy a house next to the mansion. In the future, if she likes prosperity, she can live in the capital; if she can't bear to leave her parents, I will move back to Jiangdu with her. If Miss Shen doesn't have an engagement yet, then it's just right for her to get engaged with me. If there is an engagement..."
Mrs. Lin saw that he was talking as if in a dream, so she couldn't help asking, "If there is an engagement, what will you do?"
Lu Kui raised his eyelashes, and a faint blue hue appeared in his extremely clear eyes. He smiled brilliantly: "The old lady is confused, how could there be an engagement?"
If someone covets Ning'er, wouldn't it be better to just kill him?
"Oh, that's right!" Lu Kui said excitedly, "His Majesty promised me that if I do a good job on this mission, he will give me extra rewards. Brother Lin, can I ask His Majesty to grant me marriage?"
Lin Shiqi was speechless for a long time. Amitabha, God bless you, this madman doesn't like his own daughter.
In fact, in terms of career prospects, there is almost no one in the court who is more outstanding than Lu Kui. Although he has a bad reputation, he is the commander-in-chief of the royal army, the emperor's confidant, and a third-rank official at the age of 24!
Due to this unprecedented honor and favor in the dynasty, many people privately speculated that the reason Lu Kui was able to obtain such a high position was not only because the emperor felt pity for Lu's father's unjust death and showed special favor to his son, but also because he was behind the sudden and mysterious death of Ming Taifu's eldest son in the past.
It's just that Lu Kui is so cruel and ruthless, and his subordinates are all over the court and the country. No one dares to say this openly, and they just talk about it behind closed doors.
Even so, there were still countless civil and military nobles in the court who wanted to win him over. If he let these people know that he was planning to get married, the threshold of Lu's mansion would probably be trampled down.
Those people don't care about Lu Kui's reputation for bloodthirstiness. Giving up a daughter or sister in exchange for a marriage with a powerful official is a very profitable deal.
Madam Lin said earnestly, "I advise Lord Lu to think twice. You are a man and an adult, so others naturally dare not say anything to you. But if you act on impulse, if something changes in the future, how can Miss Shen, a weak woman, live?"
Lu Kui was puzzled and asked, "How can we be considered as not being impulsive?"
Madam Lin sighed, "First of all, unmarried men and women do not sit at the same table. Lord Lu should forget about the chance encounter with Miss Shen today and just pretend that he has never seen her."
Seeing that Lu Kui was getting anxious, she added hurriedly, "I'm not really asking you to forget it, but just don't mention it outside. Secondly, since Miss Shen is now living in the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion, Lord Lu should also send a letter in and pay a proper visit to Lord Shen first."
Lu Kui groaned and said, "Shen Chongyan, I don't seem to be very familiar with him?" He subconsciously thought about it in his mind, and it seemed that he didn't have any leverage over him.
Lin Shiqi's eyes darkened when he heard this. You still know how to calculate this? Have you ever thought that, after all, we are not familiar with each other!
