Luoyang Brocade Chapter 24: Snatch

Lu Hong's thoughts, which he thought were well hidden, were actually clearly visible to everyone.

In terms of family background, Ling Jingshu had wronged him by marrying Lu Hong. However, Ling Jingshu's beauty and talent are unparalleled. Lu Hong fell in love with her again, so this marriage was not inappropriate.

Out of the hidden thoughts in his heart, Lu An did not object to marrying the Ling family. At this time, the family of four was talking, and there were no outsiders. Lu An didn't bother to cover up and asked very directly.

Lu Hong's handsome face first flushed red, then turned white, and his complexion changed.

Lu An didn't have much patience and asked again with a frown: "Are you not interested in Sister Shu?"

Poor Lu Hong, the young man's pride and self-esteem were completely wounded by Ling Jingshu yesterday. Later, Lu Qian couldn't help but exposed the scars again. Now Luan comes to get to the bottom of it again...

Lu Hong was really shameless to tell the truth, and simply replied cruelly: "I only have brother-sister feelings for my cousin Shu, and I have no other thoughts." Without waiting for Lu An to say anything, he added: "Father, all I want now is Study hard and wait until you have a good career and a bright future before getting married. I hope my father will help me!"

"Nonsense!" Lu An's face darkened: "You just passed the government examination last year, and you have to wait a few years before you can take the provincial examination. After passing the provincial examination, you will still be able to take the palace examination. When you have a bright future, you still don't know. It's the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse. Could it be that if you don't pass the Jinshi exam, you won't get married? If you don't like Sister Shu, this marriage will be abandoned. When we meet in Jizhou in the future, we can choose another suitable marriage for you."

As soon as Lu An's face sank, everyone present was on tenterhooks.

No matter how reluctant Lu Hong was, he did not dare to refute, and he lowered his head and remained silent.

Ms. Ling was stunned for a moment, then she realized what she was doing, and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Master, please calm down. A Hong is eager to learn and make progress, and it is a good thing that he doesn't want to get married early. Since A Hong and Sister Shu are not destined to get married, it's not a matter of getting married. There is no need to mention it again. Fortunately, I have never said this in front of Fifth Brother, and there is nothing embarrassing..."

A voice suddenly sounded: "Mom, I want to marry my cousin Shu!"

Ling: "..."

Lu Hong: "..."

Lu An: "..."

The six-path gaze suddenly turned to Lu Qian, who made an astonishing statement.

The three of them looked like they had swallowed eggs raw, each looking more exciting than the other. Especially Lu Hong, who looked stunned and shocked.

Lu Qian seemed not to know how shocking what he said was, so he repeated it again: "The eldest brother has no intention of cousin Shu and is not willing to have this marriage. I like cousin Shu and I want to marry her."

Ling's mind was in confusion, and he blurted out: "It's ridiculous! How young are you? You are still a confused child. You don't know what to like or not. Even if you want to get married, it will be a few years later... ..."

"I am twelve years old, only two years younger than cousin Shu." Lu Qian straightened his thin chest, and a stubbornness that did not match his age appeared on his delicate and fair face: "I know what liking is. I like Shu. Cousin, I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I am not yet an adult, so I can make a marriage decision first. After four years, when I am sixteen and my cousin Shu is eighteen, I will marry her."

Lu Qian was not joking, he was serious about what he said.

Ling took a breath. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Lu An's sullen voice sounded: "How can I allow you to play with such a trivial matter when it comes to a life-long event? There is order in the family hierarchy, and your brother has not yet been engaged, so where will it be your turn."

In the Lu family, Lu An is a dignified father who always speaks his mind. His wives, concubines, and children were all trembling in front of him and would never dare to contradict him casually.

Seeing Lu An's anger, Mrs. Ling's heart trembled, and she quickly winked at Lu Qian. Hurry up and admit your mistake to your father!

Lu Qian turned a blind eye to Ling's anxiety and raised his head and said: "The eldest brother has been smart since he was a child and has great talent in reading. So he doesn't want to get distracted early and get married early. In the future, the eldest brother will definitely go to high school and shine in the family. I am The youngest son in the family is far less talented than his eldest brother, and he probably won’t have much future in studying in the future. It would be better to get married and have a son early, so as to inherit the heirs for our Lu family."

"Furthermore, although I am still underage, I know my own thoughts very well. When I meet the woman I like, I naturally want to marry her home. What's wrong with me thinking this way?"

This specious reasoning actually sounds quite reasonable.

Lu An was very angry when her youngest son contradicted her. However, he was not carried away by anger. He calmed down and thought for a moment, and had to admit that what Lu Qian said made sense.

As long as Ling Jingshu can be married to the Lu family, there won’t be much difference between being the eldest son’s wife or the youngest son’s daughter-in-law...

As soon as Lu An's expression relaxed, Lu Qian suddenly became excited and looked at Mrs. Ling imploringly: "Mom, I have never liked someone so much in my life. If I can marry my cousin Shu, I will I will be content in this life and have no regrets."

The face is childish, but the look is like an adult.

It makes people feel inexplicably inconsistent.

Ling collected herself and rolled her eyes at Lu Qian angrily: "You are only twelve years old and you have a long life ahead of you. How about this life? Isn't it ridiculous!"

"Getting married is not a trivial matter. You have to think carefully before opening your mouth. You keep saying that you like Sister Shu, maybe it's just a momentary impulse, or maybe it's just a sibling relationship. If you really make a marriage, you won't be able to do it in the future. I regretted it."

Ling's tone also relaxed a lot.

Lu Qian was overjoyed and said without hesitation: "Don't worry, mother, I will never regret it."

Being able to stay with Ling Jingshu for life was his biggest obsession in his previous life. After being reborn, his love for her not only did not diminish, but became even more intense. How could he go back on his word?

Ling and Lu An exchanged glances, pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is not a trivial matter. Let your father and I discuss it for a few days before making a decision."

Lu Qian suppressed his excitement and returned to his usual well-behaved nature: "Thank you, father and mother."

......

Lu Hong said nothing.

He just stared at Lu Qian in shock, as if he had never seen Lu Qian before.

The words I spoke to Lu Qian yesterday still ring in my ears. Lu Qian comforted him with care and concern. He remembered clearly... Why did it become like this after coming here overnight?

When did Lu Qian develop strange feelings for Ling Jingshu?

He was completely unaware?

After that, the two brothers went to Yonghe Hall with Lu An and his wife. As usual, they greeted An and chatted with their cousins. Then the birthday guests came one by one, and the bustle was no less than yesterday.

Lu Hong's thoughts were confused and full of worries, and he spent the day in a daze.

Until evening, Lu Hong finally had the opportunity to speak to Lu Qian alone: ​​"Second brother, come with me, I have something to ask you." His expression was not good-looking, and his voice was a bit muffled.

Lu Qian had expected it and was not surprised at all. He nodded calmly and followed Lu Hong into the house.

This calmness made Lu Hong increasingly frustrated and angry. An unknown fire burned in his heart, and his handsome face darkened: "Second brother, are you serious about what you said this morning? Do you really want to marry your cousin Shu?"

Lu Qian raised his head and asked instead of answering: "Brother, do you think I will make fun of life-long events?"

The words "lifelong event" sound extremely harsh.

Lu Hong looked steadily at Lu Qian's childish face, and suddenly laughed at himself: "I'm so stupid. We two brothers get along day and night. You know my thoughts well, but I don't know that you also I fell in love with my cousin Shu."

No wonder Lu Qian is extremely concerned about him and Ling Jingshu!

No wonder Lu Qian asked so nervously yesterday!

He didn't care about himself at all, but wanted to make sure that he had given up completely because of Ling Jingshu's rejection!

This feeling of betrayal made Lu Hong extremely uncomfortable, and he lost his usual humility in his words: "Second brother, my father and mother originally planned to propose marriage for me. What would you do if I agreed at that time? ”

The tone showed a bit of sharp sarcasm.

Lu Qian looked unmoved: "Since the eldest brother refused, why bother thinking about it."

How could he not think too much?

"Cousin Shu should be my wife!" Lu Hong glared at Lu Qian~IndoMTL.com~ and gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "By doing this, you are clearly grabbing something that belongs to me."

The word "grab" touched the most vulnerable point in Lu Qian's heart.

Lu Qian's expression also changed, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for my elder brother to say such things! If a man is unmarried and an unmarried woman is unmarried, how can we rob him of it? Moreover, this is a marriage that you gave up first, I Then I opened my mouth to plead with my father and mother. Can't I marry her if you don't marry her?"

Lu Hong: "..."

Lu Hong never thought that Lu Qian's words would be so sharp and mean, and his handsome face would turn red and white. The anger in his heart grew stronger: "Lu Qian! I gave up the marriage because she didn't like me. I didn't want to force her to marry me. But you, knowing that I have her in my heart, You also begged your parents to propose marriage for you. What else are you doing if you don’t win someone’s love?”

Lu Qian's eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifying light, and his expression was gloomy: "Whatever you think. In short, I must marry her!"

Lu Hong’s handsome face turned pale with anger.

Lu Qian no longer looked at Lu Hong, turned around and left.

"Wait!" Lu Hong held back his anger and called out to Lu Qian: "You insist on marrying my cousin Shu, and I have nothing to say. However, I want you to promise me one thing."

Lu Qian stopped, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I want you to promise me that before proposing marriage, you must express your feelings to cousin Shu and obtain her approval." Lu Hong took a deep breath and continued: "If she doesn't want to, you can't force it."

Lu Qian didn’t even think about it and agreed immediately: "Okay, I promise you. I will go find my grandmother after her birthday party is over."
