Chapter 949: Lü Zhi Regrets
Chapter 949: Lü Zhi Regrets
Lu Gong calmed down a little and said, "May I ask this gentleman why you brought me such a valuable gift?"
Qin Hao glanced at the screen behind him and naturally knew that there were two people hiding behind the screen, most likely the two sisters of the Lu family.
"I heard that the second daughter of the Lu family is dignified, beautiful and intelligent, so I came to ask for marriage from Mr. Lu."
As soon as he finished speaking, two exclamations were heard from behind the screen.
Lu Su's face flushed, and she looked at her sister Lu Zhi anxiously: "Sister, why did this man ask for marriage right after arriving at my house? And how can one ask for marriage in person? This is so rude."
Lu Zhi secretly looked at Qin Hao. Although she could only see Qin Hao's profile from this direction, she could tell that he was a young and handsome man, so she joked.
"Sister, I see that this man is young, handsome, and can give such a generous gift. I think his family must be well-off. He is a good husband. He took the initiative to ask you for his hand in marriage, which shows that he is sincere to you. If you marry him, you will definitely be happy after marriage."
Lu Su said angrily: "Hey, sister, why are you still speaking for outsiders?"
"You are all going to get married, and he will be my brother-in-law in the future. How can he be an outsider?" Lu Zhi smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.
On the other side, Lu Gong coughed lightly, reminding the two sisters not to make such a big noise, and then said to Qin Hao.
"I have never met you, so I'm afraid this marriage proposal is..."
Qin Hao raised his hand to interrupt Lu Gong's words: "I heard that Lu Gong offended the Cao family and is in a difficult situation recently?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Gong said angrily, "No matter how difficult it is, I will never entrust my daughter to someone else. Please go back, young master."
"Mr. Lu, please be patient. What Qin means is that if I can help you solve the trouble of Cao family, is that enough to show my sincerity?" Qin Hao said seriously.
Behind the screen, the two sisters Lu Zhi and Lu Su couldn't help but cast curious glances at Qin Hao when they heard this.
"Sister, do you think he can really solve the Cao family's troubles?"
Lu Zhi seemed to be thinking about something, but then she teased, "If he can solve it, would you be willing to marry him?"
"Oh, sister, I'm talking to you seriously, but you always make fun of me." Lu Su said with a blushing face.
"Hush, listen to what father says first."
After thinking for a while, Lu Gong bowed to Qin Hao and said, "If you can really make the Cao family stop causing trouble for the Lu family, you will be the benefactor of our Lu family. I am willing to treat you as a guest of honor. However, I have made a promise about my daughter's marriage, and they still need their approval."
"Okay, as long as Mr. Lu doesn't object, Qin will naturally find a way to make Miss Lu nod her head."
Qin Hao laughed, then stood up and left.
After Qin Hao left, Lu Zhi and Lu Su came out from behind the screen.
Lu Su walked up to Lu Gong and said, "Dad, why did you agree to him? This scoundrel should be kicked out."
Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Sister, didn't Dad just say that our marriage still needs your approval? If you don't agree, will Dad force you to marry him?"
"Could it be that my sister is afraid that she will not be able to resist and will marry that young man?"
"Sister, you are teasing me again. I won't talk to you anymore." Lu Su was shy after all. She lifted her skirt and ran to the backyard with a blushing face.
After Lu Su left, Lu Zhi's face straightened: "Dad, can he really solve the troubles of the Cao family?"
After Lu Gong pondered for a moment, he sighed and said, "At this point, we can only hope that this young master can do it, otherwise our family will have to go far away to Pei County and seek refuge with my good friend."
Lü Zhi said angrily, "This Cao family is really shameless. The second son of Cao is a womanizer and has countless concubines at home. He even wanted to force me and my sister to be his concubines. When you, father, refused, he teamed up with the government to suppress the Lü family's business."
"Alas, there is nothing we can do. The Cao family has deep roots in Shanfu County. Although the Lu family has some wealth, no one is serving as an official in the court. After all, they are just rootless duckweed." Lu Gong said helplessly.
Lu Zhi clutched the hem of her skirt and said bitterly, "If one day I marry into a noble family, I will definitely make the Cao family restless."
"By the way, Dad, who do you think this Mr. Qin is? He is so confident that he can stop the Cao family from causing trouble for us. He must have something to rely on, right?"
"I don't know about this, but seeing how generous he is, I think his family must have some background. But I don't understand why he came to ask for marriage alone instead of asking the elders in the family to do it for him?"
At the same time, Qin Hao, who was highly expected by Lu Gong, was quietly waiting for dark.
What kind of family background does he have? He was simply an illegal resident in the Qin Dynasty and a wanted criminal.
As for his reliance, Qin Hao's reliance at the moment is his extraordinary martial arts skills.
After nightfall, Qin Hao jumped over the wall of Cao's mansion and landed on the top of the stable.
"You two should serve me well. This is the master's favorite horse. If anything goes wrong, watch out for yourselves."
The two grooms nodded cautiously.
After the housekeeper left, Qin Hao rolled over from the stable and landed behind the groom. He gently pressed on their necks, and the two of them fainted on the ground.
This is not acupuncture, but the carotid artery, which has a thin blood vessel wall and a dilated lumen, and is very fragile! There is a pressure-sensitive nerve ending device in the carotid sinus. Once it is under pressure, it will have the illusion that the blood pressure has increased, and it will instinctively lower the blood pressure.
If the pressure is too strong, the blood pressure will drop suddenly, and the blood will not reach the brain for a while, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, which will cause fainting. This is also the origin of the scene in many TV dramas where people are knocked in the neck with a knife to make people unconscious instantly.
However, if the strength of the hands is not controlled well, it is easy to send the person away. Of course, for Qin Hao, this skill of using strength is just child's play, and the two grooms will wake up soon.
The horses in the stable are tall and muscular, and are obviously good horses.
Unfortunately, I followed the wrong master.
Qin Hao chopped off the horse's head with a knife, wrapped it with a piece of cloth, and then sneaked into the room of the head of the Cao family.
After dealing with the maid serving in the outer room, Qin Hao placed the cloth bag on the master's bed and placed the letter he had prepared in advance on the bedside.
Afterwards, he quietly left Cao's mansion.
When I went to the clothes, I learned the name and the name.
The next day, before dawn, the head of the Cao family was awakened by a scream. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw the maid pointing at the bed, and a strong smell of blood hit his face.
In addition to being panicked, the head of the Cao family was also a little confused. Why did he lose so much blood but not feel any pain at all?
After lifting the quilt, they found a bloody cloth bag with a horse head wrapped inside.
"Oh, isn't this my Chasing Lightning? Who killed my horse? I'm going to cut him into pieces!"
After venting his anger, the head of the Cao family quickly calmed down.
This man was able to chop off a horse's head and quietly deliver it to the head of his bed. If one wanted to kill him, wouldn't it be easy?
Thinking of this, the head of the Cao family was frightened and his anger turned completely into fear.
"Master, there seems to be a letter on the pillow?"
The head of the Cao family unfolded the letter and instantly understood the other party's intention. Although he was angry, he was cautious.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been knights-errant in the Six Kingdoms. These people are very skilled in martial arts and are not bound by worldly laws. They have their own set of standards for evaluating good and evil. Once you anger these knights-errant, even if you have great power, you can only live in the shadow of being attacked at any time.
"Quick, go and call that rebellious son to me!" The head of the Cao family wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said angrily.
"Which young master do you want to see, Patriarch?"
"Old Second, that evil beast of Old Second, tell him to get over here right now!"
Afterwards, the head of the Cao family beat his second son severely. Even the mistress of the house tried to persuade him, but it was of no use. He beat him until his skin was torn and flesh was exposed before he stopped.
"From now on, no one is allowed to cause trouble for the Lu family. If I find out, I will kick you out of the house and you will never have anything to do with the Cao family again!"
That afternoon, Lu Zhi ran home in surprise.
"Dad, the government said our wine shop can be reopened, and the cloth shop has also been unsealed."
Lu Gong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really?"
"It's true. It was Li Xianwei's confidant who came to tell me."
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, she whispered, "Dad, do you think it could be Master Qin?"
"It must be him, otherwise why would County Lieutenant Li be so attentive? It seems that this Young Master Qin is indeed of great origin." Lu Gong stroked his long beard gently.
Lu Zhi said hesitantly, "Then Dad, should we keep our promise and marry Su Su to him?"
"Well, your sister needs to give her approval for this."
"I'll go talk to my sister. With a backer like Master Qin, our Lu family won't have to worry about being bullied in Shanfu County, no, in the entire Dang County."
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, she couldn't wait to run to the backyard.
At this moment, Lu Su was doing housework. Seeing her sister running over in a hurry, she asked curiously, "Sister, why are you so anxious?"
"Susu, I have good news for you. Our shop can reopen now."
"Really? Could it be..." Although Lu Su was naive, she was not stupid. Qin Hao had just said yesterday that he would help them solve the Cao family's troubles, and today the family's shop could be reopened. It was obviously impossible for the second son of the Cao family to be so merciful as to let the Lu family go.
"Yes, it is Master Qin." Lu Zhi sat down in front of Lu Su and said seriously, "Su Su, although I have only seen the side profile of this Master Qin, my father also said that he is handsome and has a noble bearing. In addition, he was able to make the Cao family obedient within one day. He must be a young master from a noble family."
"Not as good as."
Lu Su wrinkled her nose: "Sister, you speak so highly of him, why don't you marry him yourself?"
"You little girl are now criticizing your sister. There's nothing wrong with marrying such a talented and handsome man, but he specifically wants to marry you." Lu Zhi held Lu Su's hand and said softly.
"Susu, I know you are unhappy about marrying someone you don't know, but Mr. Qin has a good appearance and family background. More importantly, he loves you and will definitely treat you well in the future. Just think of it as for our Lu family?"
Lu Su was in a dilemma for a moment, and suddenly her mind flashed back to what Qin Hao said yesterday: "Didn't he say that he had to get my approval before he could marry me? How could a man go back on his word?"
"Okay, I'll ask my father to arrange a meeting between you and him." Lu Zhi excitedly ran to find Lu Gong.
Lu Gong was also happy to bring the two together, so he sent someone to find Qin Hao.
Qin Hao came to Lu's Mansion again, but this time he went directly to the backyard.
"Miss, a guest is coming in soon. You should go back to your room first," the maid reminded.
Lu Zhi glared at the maid and said, "What do you know? Su Su is very innocent. I have to help her check before I can let my sister marry him."
Of course, these words were just Lu Zhi's self-consolation. She mainly wanted to see what the "Master Qin" who she had only seen from the side looked like.
"People are here, don't talk nonsense."
From a distance, Lu Zhi saw a handsome young man walking from the front hall.
With just one glance, Lu Zhi felt as if an electric shock had occurred to her body, and her eyes never left that person.
It was not until the other person walked past her that Lu Zhi came to her senses.
"No, we can't let Su Su marry him!"
The maid looked at Lu Zhi talking to herself, her face full of curiosity. Didn't she just say that she would check for the second young lady? Did she think that the young man just now was not good-looking?
But, he is obviously very handsome and has a heroic spirit. If I could marry a man like him, I would probably wake up laughing in my dreams, right?
Lu Zhi chased all the way and finally stopped Qin Hao in front of the pavilion where Lu Su was.
"Master Qin." Lu Zhi tried to calm her breathing and make herself appear more dignified.
Qin Hao looked Lu Zhi up and down, then bowed and said, "Hello, Miss Lu."
"Mr. Qin, let's go talk over there. The scenery over there is more beautiful."
"But, I remember it was Miss Lu Er who asked me out, right?"
Lu Zhi suddenly felt her face burning, it turned out that he knew her sister.
"My sister has a cold today, so it's inconvenient for her to meet guests. Why don't I entertain Mr. Qin?"
Qin Hao pointed to the pavilion not far away and said, "Miss Lu Er has caught a cold and is still enjoying the cool outside. Qin knows a little about medicine, so it's a good opportunity for me to treat Miss Lu Er."
"You also know medicine?" Lu Zhi looked at Qin Hao in surprise.
Just as Lu Zhi was stunned, Qin Hao had already passed her and strode towards the pavilion.
"Meet Miss Lu Er."
Lu Su looked Qin Hao up and down and her impression of him improved. Young girls always like handsome guys.
"Have you seen me before?"
"We met half a year ago, but unfortunately we parted so hastily. I have been thinking about you day and night since then."
Qin Hao made up a story, but Lu Su blushed and said, "Okay, stop talking. It's so embarrassing."
"Sister." Lu Su became even more shy when she saw Lu Zhi coming over.
Lu Zhi looked at her sister Lu Su with a complicated expression, then looked at Qin Hao, and felt even more depressed. If she had known that there was such a handsome man, she should not have given him to her sister.
"Well, how was your conversation?"
Lu Su blushed and said softly, "It hasn't started yet."
Then he looked at Qin Hao again and said angrily in a lower voice: "Stop talking nonsense."
"Since you are here to propose marriage, why don't you ask the elders in your family to do it for you?" Lu Su asked calmly.
"All the elders in my family have passed away, so I have no choice but to come here alone."
"Ah, Mr. Qin, I'm sorry. I..." (End of this chapter)
