Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 70

Lu Fei was amused and gave Lu Mingyu a wink.

It’s enough to scare the Zhou family once. Don’t go too far.

Lu Mingyu returned a look of “I know what I am doing”.

Lu Mingyu told her father and brother last night that she wanted to give the Zhou family a chance. She found that the Zhou family was a bit snobbish.

“However, the third sister has a gentle temperament and a good temper. I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle the Zhou family when she marries the Zhou family in the future. Why don’t I be a villain and give the Zhou family a slap in the face first? Let the Zhou family know that the Lu family is not easy to mess with. In the future, facing the third sister, thinking about the Lu family, thinking about me, they will stop.”

Lu Lin also felt that the idea was good, and nodded: “Alright. However, you are a girl’s family, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Lu Fei hurried to pick up the conversation: “Let me come when they get off the horse!”

“Let me come!” Lu Mingyu didn’t move her brows, her tone slightly increased: “Dad is going to lead the troops to fight, and the second brother is in the military camp all year round. No matter how intimidating you are, you stay far away. I can go to Zhou’s house at any time, for the third sister. I am her convenient backup.”

This is true.

It takes a year and a half of rest at most, and their father and son have to lead the army again to conquer their neighbouring country. This battle, they don’t know what year and month it will be fought. If Lu Minghua marries her husband’s family and suffers grievances and slack, their father and son will be far away.

Xiaoyu wants to recruit her son-in-law to enter the house in the future and will also be the head of the Lu family. Supporting the married sister is also due.

Lu Lin thought for a moment and nodded in response.

Lu Fei was already prepared in his heart, but today, seeing with his own eyes that the Zhou family was frightened by Lu Mingyu, he felt quite amused. Just a few glances like this, and they were scared like this. The courage of the Zhou family was really too small.

Actually, it was no wonder that the Zhou family was timid.

Lu Fei was used to seeing his own sister, so he didn’t think Lu Mingyu was terrible. For the Zhou family who met her for the first time, this Fourth Miss Lu’s eyes were cold and murderous, and her bearing was really intimidating.

Mrs Zhou, who had never seen the world, was so frightened that she couldn’t walk.

Lu Mingyu was heartbroken.

Mrs. Zhou was a typical person who had a crooked mind but no courage. In her previous life, she had coaxed Lu Minghua thousands of times. When she, the queen, lost her power, she became more courageous, took away Lu Minghua’s children, and neglected her daughter-in-law.

The matchmaker couldn’t bear it anymore, she reached out to support Mrs. Zhou and pinched Mrs. Zhou calmly.

Mrs. Zhou shuddered, finally came back to her senses, and walked tremblingly into the Lu residence.

…

The main hall was not far, just a few steps away.

Lu Mingyu and Lu Fei led the Zhou family into the main hall.

Lu Lin, who was dressed in the official uniform of a military general, sat on a chair and did not move: “The three members of Zhou Tanhua’s family are here, and this king is very happy!”

Lu Lin never likes to put on official airs on weekdays. This is what Lu Mingyu specifically told him last night: “Dad, you will show off the power of King Xingyang tomorrow and shock the Zhou family. The third sister is married to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family should not try to treat the third sister harshly. ”

“I have to see Daddy’s majesty tomorrow.”

Lu Lin smiled happily: “Don’t worry! When did Dad let you down?”

Isn’t it just a show of the evil prince deterring poor relatives!

Lu Lin usually does not wear official uniforms in the mansion, but he put it on early this morning. At this time, his expression was condensed, his tone was light, and one mouthful of this king, let alone the style.

Lu Mingyu’s aura is more aggressive, it’s a girl’s family after all.

Lu Lin is different. He is the general in charge of the army and the aura of killing on the battlefield. The awe-inspiring power revealed, it was simply frightening.

Master Zhou, who had seen the magistrate the most in his life, was full of panic, and he dared not to sit down and bowed his hands again and again.

Mrs. Zhou also saluted him. Probably because she was too nervous, when Mrs. Zhou got up, she tripped over the hem of her skirt and stumbled.

The matchmaker quickly supported Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou’s face was flushed, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Fortunately, no one in the Lu family made fun.

However, it left a mark on Zhou Li’s heart. Today, I came to propose marriage. My father and mother were so incapable of being on the stage, and even bringing him, a new talent, was a bit bleak.

“Xiaguan Zhou Li, I have seen King Xingyang.” Zhou Li cupped his fists and bowed.

Zhou Li, as a top-ranked student, did not need to take an exam, so he went directly to the Hanlin Academy to become a clerk.

It was just that the Great Wei military commander firmly suppressed the civilian officials. Zhou Li, a low-ranking civil official of the seventh rank, did not even have the qualifications to look up in front of King Xingyang, who was highly trusted by the emperor.

“Sit down and talk first!” Lu Lin ordered casually.

The Zhou family was obliged to take a seat.

Lu Lin sat in the main seat, and the Zhou family of three sat in the guest seat. On the opposite side were the Lu family’s sister and brother.

Apart from Lu Minghua who never showed up, the five siblings sat neatly opposite Zhou Li. Coupled with the eldest brother-in-law solemnly, there are exactly six people. Six pairs of eyes looked at Zhou Li together. As if to clearly see Zhou Li from inside to outside and from top to bottom.

One of them, incredibly indifferent and sharp, was Fourth Miss Lu.

Zhou Li: “…”

He had never been so nervous even when he entered the Golden Throne Hall for the test that day.

In such a situation, the atmosphere was naturally brisk.

The matchmaker Mrs Zhao secretly thought something was wrong.

Didn’t the Zhou family say it, the Lu family made it clear that as long as the Zhou family came to the door to propose marriage, there was no reason to reject them? Why are you setting up this battle today?

The matchmaker coughed, opened her mouth with a smile, and said, “The little one came to the door today at the request of the Zhou family, and dared to say a few words. If it is appropriate, I also ask the prince to take care of him.”

Lu Lin has completely entered the state of “the ruthless and evil prince”, especially majestic and solemn, without moving his eyelids: “If you have something to say, just say it!”

Matchmaker: “…”

What else do you say about matchmaking?

The matchmaker was secretly anxious and looked up at Zhou Li.

Zhou Li was obviously also shocked and confused, far less sharp than usual. For a while, he didn’t notice the eyes of the matchmaker.

The matchmaker sighed helplessly.

That’s all, she tried her best.

The matchmaker cheered up and praised Zhou Li from the inside out. Fortunately, Zhou Li is indeed outstanding, except for the ordinary family background, the rest were very good.

After bragging about Zhou Li, she diligently praised the beautiful, virtuous and gentle Third Miss Lu, and then expressed her intention to propose marriage.

She was indeed the most famous matchmaker in the Capital. Even facing such a strict-faced Lu Lin, she could still laugh, and her mouth was also very fast, and she was eloquent, and she said something for half an hour.

Lu Lin didn’t say anything from beginning to end, just hummed a few times.

After the matchmaker finished speaking in one breath, her throat was dry. She picked up the teacup in her hand, took a few sips, and then asked with a sincere smile: “The Zhou family sincerely came to propose marriage, I wonder what the lord wants?”
