Chapter 702: Want to Marry

Tian's death made the two children, Lu Xiao and Lu Dan, very sad. Lu Zhiyuan didn't go anywhere when he came back from the workshop, so he stayed with them.

On this day, he had an appointment that he couldn't refuse, so he went.

The person who made an appointment with him was a young steward of Ji's Bank, named Song Ke, who came from the south.

Lu Zhiyuan rejected the proposal to visit the other party's home and chose a quiet restaurant to meet in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

After the Pingzhou incident, in the past two years, a lot of safety knowledge has been popularized among the children of the Qin and Lu families. Among his four brothers and sisters, except for the younger sister, the other three were forced by his father to attend the class.

In addition to the three of them, the Qin family also went to attend the class. It was really embarrassing for them, tall adults, to sit among a group of little children and attend the class.

One of the safety lessons is that you must be on guard against others. It is easy to be a guest in the home of someone you are not familiar with, and it is easy to cause trouble every day and the earth.

When we arrived at the private room on the third floor of the restaurant, the other party was already waiting there.

The boy on the other side motioned to Lu Zhiyuan's two followers to follow him.

At this time, Song Ke said, "Let's talk nicely today, let's ask the servants to go to the side."

So, when the entourage looked at him, Lu Zhiyuan nodded.

When the banquet started, the store wanted to serve wine, so Lu Zhiyuan waved his hand and asked the waiter to take the wine away. After all, Tian had only been away for more than a month, so he still had to abide by some etiquette.

Lu Zhiyuan's drinking capacity was not good, and he had agreed not to drink when the banquet started. But for some reason, at the end of the meal, he felt a little dizzy.

During this period, a woman came in, and Lu Zhiyuan recognized that this woman was the other party's sister.

The other party wanted to get closer to him, but Lu Zhiyuan was very resistant and kept pushing him away.

When the woman wanted to go further, the sound of bowls, chopsticks and teacups being swept to the floor suddenly came from next door.

Then, the waiter's questioning voice came from outside, making a lot of noise.

Song Ke and his sister looked at each other and gave up some of their thoughts.

For the next half hour, the person in front of him opened and closed his mouth without stopping. Lu Zhiyuan only felt dizzy and his ears were buzzing.

"Brother Lu, as the eldest son of Lu, you are too humble to submit to a workshop manager. Sometimes my younger brother feels unworthy for you. You should be the one who can inherit the family business in good faith." Song Ke advised him.

Although Lu Zhiyuan was a little confused, when he heard this, he vaguely realized that he might have been fooled.

"Are you willing to accept that your Lu family's family fortune may eventually pass to the hands of a girl named Qin Xuan? This family fortune should eventually be passed on to your son Lu Xiao."

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head like a rattle, another person wanted to harm him!

"Brother Lu, as long as you have this heart, tell me that you don't need to do other things, and we will help you."

Lu Zhiyuan rolled his eyes in his heart and thought, was this how Tian was encouraged by you in the first place?

Seeing that he was still indifferent after talking for so long, Song Xiaomei said angrily, "Are you still a man and have no ambition at all? You just give up the position of governor of Pingzhou to others like this?"

Lu Zhiyuan almost laughed to death in his heart. If he didn't want to be the governor, he would not be a man. Then there would be no men in Pingzhou.

Song Ke stared at him, "Brother Lu, are you so afraid of your parents and your second sister? You don't dare to fight for what belongs to you?"

Lu Zhiyuan was still unmoved, Tian's lesson was still fresh in his mind. Do you really think he would believe their provocation? Pingzhou doesn’t belong to him! Fight for it!

"You are such a waste. Mud can't hold up the wall." Song Xiaomei said this with a look of disdain and disgust.

Lu Zhiyuan nodded thoughtfully and said with a loud tongue, "Yes, compared to my father and my little sister, I am indeed a waste."

The Song brothers and sisters were speechless. They had never seen such a person. They were not ashamed of the word "waste" but felt proud of it.

"But...but my life is good."

His father, his little sister, and his second brother are dragging the Lu family to run at high speed. Even his son, if nothing unexpected happens, will achieve higher than him.

He doesn't have high demands on himself, so it doesn't matter if he can't help, as long as he doesn't hold him back.

Come to think of it, this is what his family wants from him.

After saying this, Lu Zhiyuan pretended to be too drunk and fell asleep on the table.

Pei Ji in the next box almost laughed out loud at Lu Zhiyuan's reaction.

Not long after he sent Gu Huaisheng away, someone came to the box next door. At first, he didn't care about Song Gao, who was just a nobody. Later, Lu Zhiyuan arrived, and Pei Ji subconsciously felt something was wrong.

Since something feels wrong, it’s natural to pay more attention.

Outsiders didn't know that the Pei family had already invested in this quiet Qingzhu Restaurant. It was easy for him, Pei Ji, to use his privileges.

As an outstanding descendant of the Pei family, one of the purposes of coming to Pingzhou this time is to make good friends with Pingzhou. If possible, it would be best to allow outstanding descendants of several aristocratic families headed by the Pei family to serve in Pingzhou.

In addition, he also shoulders another task, marrying his sister to Lu Zhiyuan to fill the house.

The aristocratic family is optimistic about the development of Pingzhou, and marriage is one of the common methods of the aristocratic family.

It's a pity that the people in charge of the Qin and Lu families, such as Lu Songli, Qin Sheng, Qin Heng and others, are already married.

Otherwise, marrying a few people would be like firmly stepping onto the ship of Pingzhou. Their family can completely move from Daliping.

For the people of the Qin and Lu families, it was also a good thing that the good wind sent me to the sky with its power.

What a pity, what a pity, the most pity is that none of the men of the Qin and Lu families who are in their prime have concubines, and I don’t know if Lu Songli likes handsome men?

Looking at the protagonists of the Qin and Lu families, it is rare that they are clean and self-disciplined.

But it is understandable. After all, from the death of the previous emperor to the succession of the current emperor, the Qin family can be said to have fallen from the clouds into the quagmire, and the Lu family is also in danger because of the marriage with the Qin family and the death of the previous emperor.

The younger generation of the Qin and Lu families have been busy struggling to change their own situation. How can they have the time and energy to consider romantic things?

As far as he knows, many old people in the aristocratic families admire the young people in the Qin and Lu families who can stand on their own. Especially Lu Songli and Qin Sheng, he knows that many people in the aristocratic families drool over them.

The other half of these two people, if given to an aristocratic family, it would be a big deal.

But because Lu Songli and Qin Sheng are husband and wife, none of their families dared to act rashly.

What else to do? Give Lu Songli, the governor, a beautiful man? Or send a beautiful woman to Qin Sheng, the sixth master of Qin? Isn't that courting death?

But don't rush, people's hearts change easily, and not taking concubines or handsome men now doesn't mean not taking them in the future.

There are married people in the Qin and Lu families, so they won't plan for the time being. However, there are still two singles in the Qin and Lu families, such as Lu Zhiyuan of the Lu family, and Su Jing, the wife of Qin Ming of the Qin family. Lu Zhiyuan's position as a concubine and Su Jing's second husband's family are all what they can fight for.

It's risky to covet the main dish, so they can eat some scraps. After all, those scraps are also luxurious scraps, and ordinary people can't eat them.

And the next generation of the Qin and Lu families, he thinks they are pretty good.

So, as soon as Pei Ji realized that Lu Zhiyuan was being calculated, he asked the servants to go to the government.

And he heard the conversation next door through some secret passages. After listening, he almost couldn't help laughing. Lv Zhiyuan's reaction clearly showed what it meant to "draw cakes, and there is nothing you can do for a person who is in a mess."

The next box

Looking at the man sleeping like a pig, Song Xiaomei was angry, "Brother, this Lv Zhiyuan is really cowardly!"

Song Ke was silent. This was their last mission before withdrawing from Pingzhou.

Xie Zhan was born in a noble family, and he still believed in the saying "He who gets the noble family gets the world."

Xie Zhan knew very well that Dali could no longer fight internally. It needed everyone to unite and work together to fight against Pingzhou.

But now, the noble family is chasing Pingzhou.

Dali needs the support of the noble family, and he also needs to fight for a way out for himself. After all, there are forces in Dali that want him dead, which is very disadvantageous to him.

The most important thing is that from the message sent back by the spy, Xie Zhan has realized that most of the spies arranged in Pingzhou have been exposed, and then became the mouthpiece used by Pingzhou to deal with him.

It is better to withdraw the people, and try to muddy the water in Pingzhou before withdrawing.

At this time, the people sent by Pei Ji came back and brought back several yamen runners.

As soon as the yamen runners entered the restaurant, they were noticed by the Song brothers and sisters. They immediately ignored Lu Zhiyuan and left through the back door.

Pei Ji's move was equivalent to scaring people away.

As soon as the Song brothers and sisters left, Lu Zhiyuan also struggled to go out and met Pei Ji at the door.

Pei Ji pretended to be surprised.

Lu Zhiyuan grabbed him and eagerly said his request, "Pei Ji? Can you arrange a carriage to take me back?" It took a long time to express the sentence clearly.

"Sure."

Lu Zhiyuan kept thanking him, and after going out, he asked the carriage to go straight to Qin's house, and then he reported it back, little sister, there is still a fish that slipped through the net!

Lv Songli handed the matter over to Xian Feng.

Song Ke was very alert. The Song brothers and sisters' home was empty.

Xian Feng led people to chase them.

During the chase, the carriage of the Song brothers and sisters accidentally fell off a cliff.

Finally, all the clues pointed to one thing: the Song brothers and sisters were from the Wang family of Langya.

Pei Ji used money to open the way in Pingzhou. He had a good relationship with people. In addition, Lv Zhiyuan was grateful for his help that day, so he easily found out the news from Lv Zhiyuan.

After listening, he couldn't help shaking his head. He didn't know who was so wicked. Wouldn't this make the relationship between the Wang family of Langya and Pingzhou worse?
