Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 43

[Chapter 43]

“Fourth sister, when will father and second brother come back?”

It was noon, and Lu Lin, Lu Fei and his son had not returned to the house.

The lively Lu Mingyue couldn’t sit still, looked around from time to time, and urged the maid to go to the concierge.

Lu Minghua pursed his lips and smiled: “Five sisters, don’t worry. It’s already this hour, how could the Shen family not leave lunch.”

If you come to the door to propose marriage, if you come back early, it can be seen that the woman is not willing to marry.

Being left for lunch is a good thing.

Lu Mingyu was in a good mood and laughed: “No need to wait. Let the kitchen prepare the meal!”

It was not until afternoon that Lu Lin and his son returned to the mansion.

Lu Mingyu stepped forward, his eyes swept across Lu Lin’s face, and then fell on Lu Fei’s face.

Compared with Lu Lin’s confidence, Lu Fei’s worries are almost written on his face.

Lu Mingyu smiled and asked about the trip: “Second brother, how about going to Shen’s house today?”

Lu Fei smiled calmly and said, “My adoptive father led me to Shen’s house, and Shilang Shen was quite polite to our father and son. Mrs. Shen treated us warmly. However, Mrs. Shen didn’t stay long before Shilang Shen let her go back to the inner courtyard. ”

This is strange.

Lu’s father and son came to the door to propose marriage, why wasn’t Shi Lang Shen happy that Mrs. Shen showed up?

Lu Mingyu couldn’t understand it for a while, so she asked Lu Fei: “Dad, do you think this marriage can happen?”

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, and answered confidently, “Although Shilang Shen didn’t answer on the spot, it’s a sure thing.”

Lu Fei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Where did the adoptive father see that he was sure of everything? I feel that Shilang Shen and Mrs. Shen are not very satisfied with me.”

“How could this be.” Lu Lin patted his adopted son on the shoulder hard, almost knocking Lu Fei down on the spot: “You are such an outstanding young man, unless you are blind, you will definitely fall in love.”

Lu Fei: “…”

If only he could have the confidence of his adoptive father.

Lu Mingyu thought to himself, Dad didn’t know that there was a young and tall second son Fang.

The Shen family and the Fang family decided to get married once they tried the Chunxiao Palace in the previous life.

Counting the days, there are not many days left.

It’s really not easy to impress Shen Shilang and his wife in just a few days and get them to change their minds.

Lu Mingyu didn’t say these words, and said in his own father’s voice: “Dad is right. Second brother, you have to have confidence in yourself, and more importantly in Sister Shen.”

Speaking of his sweetheart, Lu Fei’s dark handsome face flashed a dark red.

Lu Mingyu laughed softly: “Second brother, come over here, I’ll give you an idea. Make sure you get your wish.”

Lu Fei immediately brought his head closer, and after listening to a few words, he nodded again and again, his eyes almost glowing.

…

For the next few days, Lu Fei went to the Shen residence to “check in” every day.

Every time you come to the door, bring some gifts.

It’s not anything expensive, or a few boxes of delicate snacks, or a few pots of fancy bonsai.

Shen Shilang was going to the yamen as an errand, and the several sons of the Shen family were all studying and had no time to accompany him every day.

Only Mrs. Shen and Shen Lan’s mother and daughter greeted Lu Fei.

Mrs. Shen couldn’t handle her daughter, so she had to show her face from time to time.

Seeing the pair of little children shyly greet each other and speak quietly, brow ~ come ~ eye ~ go, Mrs. Shen is funny and helpless.

Soon sent her daughter back to the yard.

Lu Fei was not in a hurry, just sat in the inner hall for half a day.

He is not a talkative person, let alone sweet words to make Mrs. Shen happy.

However, his eyes are clear, his words are sincere, and he has something to move people’s hearts.

When Shilang Shen returned to the mansion, Mrs. Shen sighed, “Master, Second Young Master Lu is here again today.”

Shen Shilang: “…”

Shen Shilang also had a headache, and touched the top of his head, which was getting thinner and thinner: “This bastard!”

Mrs. Shen was a little unhappy when she heard it, and rolled her eyes at her husband: “People are handsome, and they are sincere in their desire to marry, so they come to court every day. Why are you a bastard?”

Wife Morov.

As soon as Shen Shilang heard it, he knew that the balance in Mrs. Shen’s heart had begun to tilt towards Lu Fei, and couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth: “You think Lu Fei is handsome!”

Mrs. Shen glanced at her husband with a smile: “Lu Fei did have a good life, but not as good as King Xingyang.”

Shen Shilang: “…”

Mrs. Shen was amused, she stretched out her hand and twisted Shen Shilang’s face: “I’m so old, and I still eat such dry vinegar. On that day, didn’t I just look at King Xingyang a few more times? You just slammed it out. I’ll go back to the inner courtyard. I’m not afraid of being laughed at.”

How dare Shen Shilang admit it, the dead duck said: “There’s no such thing. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Mrs. Shen spat at him with a smile: “It’s human nature to want to look at a handsome man once or twice. If I really only looked at the face, why would I marry you back then?”

In those days, there were many handsome young people who came to propose marriage.

She hasn’t chosen him yet.

Shen Shilang proudly straightened his back: “When I was young, I was also a handsome boy!”

Mrs. Shen thumped, smiled and bent over.

It is a pleasure to play a few words of coloratura when the old couple is old.

After joking for a while, Mrs. Shen said, “Master, the Lu family is eager to marry. Lu Fei is also a good man. More importantly, we Lan’er like him in our hearts.”

This last point is the most important.

As a pair of parents who love their daughters, the first consideration is their daughter’s heart.

What’s the point of forcing her to marry into the Fang family if she doesn’t want to?

Shen Shilang also sighed.

Mrs. Shen whispered again: “I was gossiping with Lu Fei today, and he told me that he would never take a concubine after getting married.”

Shen Shilang suddenly moved.

Taking a concubine and storing beauty is a common thing.

Not to mention honorable officials and eunuchs, even those wealthy businessmen or those with some assets would buy some watery girls to serve them.

There are very few officials in the capital who only live with their beloved wife like Shen Shilang.

Shen Shilang’s requirements for his future son-in-law are naturally very high.

“This kid has some merits.” Shen Shilang’s tone softened a lot.

Mrs. Shen said softly, “Just in terms of the sincerity of this marriage proposal, it is already better than Second Young Master Fang.”

Second Young Master Fang came to the capital a few years ago. Before studying behind closed doors, he never went to the Shen residence.

This can be understood that the second son of Fang is devoted to preparing for the exam, and it can also be seen that the Fang family intends to marry, but the second son of Fang himself is not enthusiastic about marriage.

In this comparison, the hearts of the husband and wife are biased together.

Shen Shilang was still hesitant: “Lu Fei is a military general, and he must lead troops to fight…”

Mrs. Shen opened her mouth to interrupt Shen Shilang: “Lan’er is right. It is quite dangerous for generals to fight. Is there no risk in being an official in the court? How do you know that the second son of Fang will have a smooth and stable career in the future?”

Shen Shilang scratched his sparse hair and paced back and forth. After a long time, he finally made up his mind: “It’s okay! Then let’s meet the Lu family’s marriage!”

“I’ll go to the study to write a letter and tell the Fang family this matter euphemistically.”
