Chapter 18

Shen Lang's mind turned rapidly, and countless options flashed.

At this time, the front door closed directly, separating him from the outside.

This is normal, because Lord Earl is going to discuss secret affairs. After all, Shen Lang is just an outsider, and it is impossible for him to participate.

...

"Who is the Zhu family from?" Lord Earl asked.

"Governor Zhu Rong's younger brother, Pingnan General Zhu Lin!" said the confidant, and then handed over a secret letter from Feige in Nujiang City.

Lord Earl looked at it again, his face ashen.

It turned out to be General Zhu Lin, and things are extremely bad?

This represents the ambition of the Zhu family!

Moreover, things like asking for a kiss could have come generously, but General Zhu Lin came here in secret, showing that he wanted to catch the Earl's House by surprise and did not want to give Jin's any chance to refuse.

Zhu Hongxue's proposal to Jin Mulan was by no means an ordinary marriage, but a desire to implement the New Deal.

If you want to seize the fief and military power of the Earl of Xuanwu, what is the most important thing? Let the Earl's Mansion lose its commander-in-chief, and the Prince of the Earl's Mansion is a worthless idiot, and it is impossible to defend the family business.

Once Jin Mulan marries Zhu Hongxue, it will demolish the pillars of the Earl's Mansion and indirectly take away the military power of the Earl's Mansion.

The countess trembled: "Husband, can we refuse?"

The Count shook his head and said, "No, the Zhu family is a giant. If you openly refuse, you will turn your face. Besides, there may be a monarch's intention behind this proposal."

Jin Mulan said: "My daughter will never marry outside. I must stay at home to help my younger brother and protect the century-old foundation of the Jin family. Anyone who wants to take it away has to step on my body."

The earl was panting, frowning, and paced the room restlessly.

Jin Mulan said, "Father, a daughter can self-destruct her appearance."

Then, she directly pulled out the dagger, and as long as the earl gave an order, she would smash her beautiful face.

"No!" Earl Xuanwu said flatly: "I want to protect the family's century-old foundation, but first I want to protect my daughter from harm. And even if you ruin your appearance, the Zhu family will still propose to you, unless... …”

Jin Mulan said: "Unless my daughter gets married today, recruits a new son-in-law, and gets married before General Zhu Lin arrives, creating an established fact that makes him retreat in spite of difficulties and cannot propose to me!"

That's right, this is the only way, and engagement is not enough, because there is no engagement for a son-in-law.

General Zhu Lin is less than two hundred miles away from the Count Xuanwu's mansion and will be able to arrive tonight.

Originally, even if he was recruiting a son-in-law, Earl Xuanwu planned to make a good selection.

We are going to get married tonight, which means that the wedding invitations will be widely distributed before noon. Within two hours, the person who will be the son-in-law must be selected.

Looking at the beautiful and strong daughter, Earl Xuanwu said softly in his heart: "Mulan, the Zhu family is flourishing, and Zhu Hongxue has a bright future, and is an excellent son-in-law. As a father, you cannot sacrifice your happiness for the interests of the family, Why don't you think about it again?"

The Earl's Mansion Miss Jin Mulan said: "Father, it is my greatest happiness to be able to dedicate to the family. Your younger brother will definitely not be able to keep the ancestral legacy in a hundred years. I will never marry."

The Earl was very distressed and moved, and then picked up the pen and ink and wrote five names on a piece of white paper.

These five people are all very outstanding young people, and they are also the best candidates for son-in-law in the count's eyes.

The count is very fond of his daughter, and he started looking for a husband for her three years ago. It's just that it's hard to talk about recruiting people, and more importantly, Jin Mulan has always refused.

Now that the time is short, a decision must be made early.

The first name chosen by the five husbands-in-law was Wang Lian.

A young talent raised at the age of eighteen, now the head of Xuanwu City, a distant relative of the Earl's House.

The second name is Mo Ye, who is a martial arts genius in Xuanwu City. He was successful in martial arts at the age of sixteen, and he is practicing martial arts hard and is preparing to take the martial arts jinshi exam.

These two are young people with promising prospects, and the remaining three are young men in the Earl's Mansion.

These five people have great admiration for Jin Mulan and are thinking about their dreams.

To be precise, all the young people within a radius of several hundred miles regarded Jin Mulan as their dream lover.

"Jin Zhong, you send someone to bring these five people to the house as quickly as possible, and let Mulan choose." The count handed the list to the loyal servant.

The count already felt sorry for his daughter, so he only decided on five candidates, but the final decision was left to Mulan.

"Yes!" After Jin Zhong took the list, he put the list in his arms, walked out the door, and sent a dozen knights to find someone.

Lord Earl said: "Mulan, although time is tight, as a father, I will definitely find the best candidate for you, and I will make you live a happy life. These five young people are all very good, you should choose one carefully."

At this moment, Shen Lang walked in and said, "Lord Earl, Miss Mulan, can I join the competition? I want to marry you too!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people present were stunned, and they didn't react all of a sudden, which was really unexpected.

Then, Earl Xuanwu couldn't bear such a good cultivation, and the whole person almost exploded.

Not only Lord Earl, but also the eyes of several other people present looking at Shen Lang felt like they wanted to tear him to pieces.

Just, it's up to you? I also want to marry the lady of the Earl's Palace!

Appearance is absolutely enough, but you are so handsome that you are suitable to be a duck, not wishful thinking.

What is your family background? Just a poor farmer living in a thatched hut.

Of course, one cannot choose one's background. If you are good enough, it is not impossible for the Earl to consider it. After all, it is difficult for a son-in-law to be born in a wealthy family.

But Shen Lang, you pee and take pictures of yourself?

After ten years of study, he couldn't even graduate from the school in the town, and was immediately kicked out.

In terms of the earth in later generations, this is equivalent to studying professionally. At the age of eighteen, he has not graduated from primary school.

Born in a poor peasant family, but he can't pick up his shoulders or lift his hands.

Everyone in Xuanwu City knows that you, Shen Lang, have a problem with your brain, and your intelligence is low.

Compared with the five candidates listed by Lord Earl, you, Shen Lang, are really worthless.

Those five young heroes are either talented in literature or outstanding in martial arts, and you, Shen Lang, are completely useless.

The most unbearable thing is that you, Shen Lang, abandoned your parents to join the Xu family for the sake of wealth and honor. Now that you were kicked out by the Xu family and abandoned by Xu Qianqian, you still want to marry the daughter of my Earl's House?

What do you think of my Earl's Palace?

How much more expensive is the daughter of my Earl Xuanwu than Xu Qianqian? Even if you are recruiting a son-in-law, you have to choose from thousands of choices. You really want to eat swan meat!

The Countess stepped forward to comfort her husband's back, and said softly, "Don't be angry, husband, everyone said that this Shen Lang has mental problems, and he is still a child, what do we do with his general knowledge? "

The Earl of Xuanwu took a long breath.

Yes, this is a person with a sick mind, and he is still a child, what does the dignified Earl care about with him?

"Come on, send this slut home first, and give ten gold coins. Remember to give it to his parents, not to him." Lord Earl said, "I will send someone to pick up the mansion to study tomorrow. Discipline well."

"Yes!" The two warriors stepped forward, grabbed Shen Lang's arms and forcibly dragged them out.

Shen Lang said: "Miss Mulan, I believe that I am far more suitable than those five people. To be your husband, don't I even have the qualifications to compete?"

Jin Mulan looked at Shen Lang, and it seemed that he said for a long time: "I remember, when I went hunting three years ago, I accidentally ran into you on horseback, you are a fool..."

Hello! Goddess, you are too honest and hurtful to talk like this.

That's right, no one in the village called Shen Lang's name, they were called Ersha, because there was another big fool in the village, and he was Shen Lang's only friend at the time.

At that time, after Jin Mulan's war horse accidentally hit Shen Lang, he immediately picked him up and asked the people in the village what his name was and where his home was. The other party replied that he was a fool.

Hearing the words "Er foolish", the count's face couldn't help twitching.

Shen Lang said: "Miss Mulan, I also want to marry you, I will not disappoint you"

Jin Mulan's gaze towards Shen Lang was full of softness.

Even a little gentle.

Three years ago, after hearing the story of Shen Lang and knowing that he was a mentally retarded person, he was very sympathetic to him, went to see him several times, and sent the best doctor to treat him.

In short, Jin Mulan looked at him like a child, and wasn't Shen Lang's IQ equivalent to a child at that time?

Mulan is disappointed with the intrigues in the adult world, but is very friendly to the simplicity of children.

So, Jin Mulan looked at Shen Lang and said, "Okay, I'll add you to the list, so you can compete fairly."

Others discriminate against Shen Lang, but she does not discriminate.

Lord Earl was about to stop, when Jin Mulan smiled and said, "Father, what are you worried about?"

Lord Earl laughed at himself for a while, yes, what am I worried about.

Mulan was just kind-hearted and sympathetic, that's why Shen Lang was included in the candidate list, and it was impossible to choose him, so why worry about the sky and be so idle.

"Someone, take Shen Lang to the sixth study room!" Lord Earl ordered.

...

An hour later!

The other five young Junjies were taken to the Earl of Xuanwu, and they were taken into the five study rooms. Shen Lang was in the sixth study room.

They don't see each other, they don't know who the other is.

Selected by Jin Mulan in person.

The time is tight, the person must be selected before noon, and the marriage will be married at night. There is only one hour at most, and one of the six people must be selected to become the husband of Jin Mulan.

Mulan walked into the study, and the son-in-law selection of the Earl's House officially began!

...

Note: Bosses, please vote.
