Quickly wear! Bind to the scumbag transformation system

Xie Lian was right.

The servants of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion saw Yan Kuan coming on horseback from a distance, without a matchmaker or betrothal gifts behind him, so they hurried in to report to the Duke of Zhenguo.

Duke Lu Changyuan sat on the armchair, turning two walnut-sized black iron balls in his hands, with a gleam in his tiger eyes.

After a moment's silence:

"Go, close the door, and tell him that I was inconsiderate before. It won't be too late to propose marriage after the court awards him military merit today."

The servant took the order and left.

Lu Jiu was listening angrily:

"Dad, why are you still clinging to this kind of person? I respected him as a good man who acted uprightly, but I didn't expect that he was just like those ordinary people, despising my sister's experience. I, the Duke of Zhenguo, don't like such a person either."

After Lu Jiu finished speaking, he angrily slammed the table, splashing the water in the teacup on the table. Thinking of his sister Lu Jing, a trace of heartache flashed through his heart.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. They tried their best to hide the matter, but the news that my little sister was kidnapped by a few beggars and taken into the woods and almost insulted still got out.

The Prince's Mansion, which was originally about to engage my younger sister, no longer mentioned the marriage, and Mo Qiyuan even took a detour when he saw him on the street.

"This Prince of Pingyang is really going too far"

The Duke of Zhenguo calmly picked up the cup and blew away the foam:

"Humph, you can tell a person by his actions. If Prince Pingyang is such a man, wouldn't I, Jingjing, suffer the same if I marry him?"

"From what I can see, Yan Kuan is not that kind of person. You are still Jingjing's brother, can't you see what she is thinking?"

After hearing this, Lu Jiu was dumbfounded. He looked at the Duke of Zhenguo with his eyes wide open: "Dad, are you saying that Jingjing has a crush on Yan Kuan?"

The Duke of Zhenguo snorted coldly and stared at Lu Jiu:

"You have been in the army for so many years, but you still haven't made any progress. Ever since the day you recognized Yan Kuan on the training ground, I'm afraid Jingjing has fallen in love with him."

After hearing this, Lu Jiu hit his head in annoyance. If that was the case, he would be committing a serious sin.

My sister has already been hurt by Mo Qiyuan. If it happens a second time, how can she, as a good sister, accept it?

He really admired Yan Kuan. He was skilled in martial arts, a righteous man, and had a bright future. If it was true as his father said, no one was more suitable to be his brother-in-law than him.

Lu Jiu sat quietly for a while and came up with an idea.

Imperial Palace, Huangji Hall.

All officials stood in a solemn and respectful manner.

The Zhongshu Sheren read out the imperial edict: "Yan Kuan accepts the edict."

Yan Kuan was wearing a green robe with narrow sleeves embroidered with bamboo leaves. He knelt on the ground with extraordinary heroic spirit to receive the order:

"I am here"

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, declares that Yan Kuan was both courageous and resourceful in pacifying the King of Gancheng Xiang, and also captured and recruited bandits to surrender, making great contributions. Therefore, Yan Kuan is hereby appointed as the General of Fuyuan, and is granted 10,000 taels of gold and a house in the capital. This is my decree."

Fuyuan?

Xie Jueyuan, Fuyuan,

Yan Kuan silently chanted this title twice, feeling very satisfied, and respectfully took the imperial edict with both hands:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace"

At the same time, he glanced meaningfully at the Prime Minister who was sitting with his head tilted to the side of the emperor.

?

What kind of look is that?

Xie Lian was a very perceptive person and he immediately understood that Yan Kuan had misunderstood the meaning of the word "Fuyuan". His ears immediately turned red and he secretly cursed Yan Kuan for being a bastard.

If I had known he was so uneducated, I wouldn't have given him the second rank. He admitted that he was the one who came up with the word "Fuyuan", but that meant to appease the distant place, not...

Yan Kuan was so happy that if he hadn't been concerned about the crowds around, he would have gone over and given his lovely Prime Minister a good hug. He even found many different ways to express his feelings to him, which was really amazing.

In just one night, Yan Kuan felt that the whole world was filled with fragrance, and he wanted to announce to the world that he had a wife.

He didn't even hear the congratulations Chen Kuang said to him when he walked out of the Huangji Palace.

"What? What do you mean by happy events come in pairs?"

Chen Kuang's face was filled with joy, happy for his brother:

"Of course, congratulations, big brother. Not only was he promoted to the rank of general of the second rank, but he also won the favor of the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. He has a good marriage prospect."

Yan Kuan's face changed when he heard this.

What's going on? Who spread it?

Didn't the Duke of Zhenguo give him the cold shoulder? He was planning to go back another day to explain. How could such a thing be reported at this time?

The court officials behind him also came out one after another, and when they saw Yan Kuan, they came over to congratulate him.

There was admiration in his eyes. Ever since the incident with the General of Cavalry, the highest-ranking military officer in the court was the Duke of Zhenguo. It was a pity that he was already old, and the Duke's son Lu Jiu's martial arts were mediocre and he was not fit for important positions.

Now, Yan Kuan has made great achievements in war. Not only has he become a general of the second rank at such a young age, he is also about to become the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion. He has a bright future.

It is even possible to be crowned king in the future.

"Congratulations, General Yan. The daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo is a lady from a noble family. She is extremely beautiful and a perfect match for you."

"Yes, congratulations, please treat us to a wedding banquet someday."

All the officials were envious and jealous. Although there were private rumors that the young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo had lost her innocence, so what? A man had three wives and four concubines, and his career was the most important thing. With the Duke of Zhenguo as his father-in-law, Yan Kuan's rise to fame was just around the corner.

Yan Kuan's face turned pale, and he was wondering who was trying to harm him when he saw Xie Lian's stormy face in the Huangji Palace.

My heart skipped a beat and I was about to explain, but then Lu Jiu came over, bowed and said with a smile on his face:

"Congratulations to my brother-in-law, he has been promoted to the rank of general of the second rank."

Brother-in-law?

Yan Kuan had seen this face before, and frowned as he said, "Lu Shaoqing, don't you think this is inappropriate? I and..."

Before Yan Kuan could continue, Lu Jiu grabbed Yan Kuan's hand and squeezed it twice with deep meaning: "General Yan, today is a happy day. Let's go have a drink to celebrate."

Then he dragged Yan Kuan out and gave Prince Pingyang's carriage a deliberate glare when they passed by.

"Prince, look at this Lu Jiu, why is he so ignorant of etiquette?"

The coachman of the Prince's Mansion reported to his master somewhat unconvinced.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a handsome scholar's face. Mo Qiyuan looked at Lu Jiu and Yan Kuan going away, his eyes somewhat lonely: "Let's go."

Yan Kuan shook off Lu Jiu's hand not long after he walked away. Two grown men, why were they pulling each other's hand? She wasn't his wife.

Staring at Lu Jiu with sharp eyes, "Did you spread the news about the marriage with the Duke of Zhenguo?"

Lu Jiu didn't expect Yan Kuan to immediately think of him, and was a little surprised, but he dared to take responsibility:

"Yes, it's me. Why is my sister not worthy of you? You know she doesn't even..."

Yan Kuan looked somewhat cold and said in an unhappy tone:

"It's none of that. Since you're here right now, please tell the Duke of Zhenguo that I, Yan Kuan, have someone in my heart and I can't possibly marry your daughter. I hope there won't be any more rumors like this in the future."

As he was about to leave, Lu Jiu got furious and raised his fist and swung at him:

"You are a young man from the mountain city, born as a yamen runner, and you are so ungrateful to be able to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, and you dare to take advantage of me..."
