Chapter 12 - See also King Huan

"Your brother has no merit, and your mother can't even afford a decent dowry. "I'm afraid I'll have to make you suffer when we get married in the future …"

"Mom, you're worrying for nothing."

Lu Ruoqing interrupted her and comforted her: "I am a daughter of the Lu family. Naturally, the Lu family would pay for my marriage.

"Motherf * cker, who wouldn't use private money to subsidize their daughter?"

"I don't need any subsidies." Lu Ruoqing said: "Later on, keep your dowry silver for yourself, whatever you want to buy, don't leave it for me."

But Mrs. Gu said, "How can that be? A girl must have a good dowry. "

"Mother …"

"Don't worry. Mother's dowry isn't much left, but we'll split it into two. In the future, one for you, one for your brother, and a little more is good as well."

Lu Ruoqing was unable to say anything, and could only smile: "Alright, alright, alright, I'll listen to mother."

Mrs. Gu thought for a moment, then said: "Since King Huan's Estate is hosting a banquet, there must be a lot of young talents attending. When that happens, you must remember to dress up properly.

Lu Ruoqing refused: "Mother, I am your little sister. You should find a wife for me first."

However, the Mrs. Gu said: "Your brother is a man, there's no need to rush. Once his title advances, with a good future ahead of him, we can discuss marriage easily."

Lu Ruoqing laughed: "Be careful that brother says mother is biased."

Mrs. Gu could not help but laugh as well. Then she continued, "This sickly me who does not know many people will not be able to help you. "Therefore, it's better if you hand over your marriage to your grandmother."

Just leave it to Grandmother!

Lu Ruoqing ridiculed in her heart, but she did not say it out loud.

Grand Lord Yun had always been good at acting.

Normally, he would act like he was biased against her and doted on her.

Even if the Yun Family didn't like her, Lu Zhenger would still pretend to be a harmonious family if he were to hate her in front of others.

Heh heh, a bunch of acting scum!

"Nope." Lu Ruoqing quickly regained her senses.

Mrs. Gu angrily laughed: "Mother was talking to you, but I didn't see you agree no matter what, it's really... "Child, cough cough …"

"Mother, drink some tea." Lu Ruoqing quickly poured another cup of tea and poured it over.

Mrs. Gu drank a few mouthfuls of tea and recovered quite a bit, "Alright, everything is fine now."

Lu Ruoqing said: "Mother, let's talk after we rest."

Mrs. Gu held back the itch in her throat and said: "Just now I told you about writing a letter to your brother, don't forget about it."

"Alright, I won't forget."

"Get someone to tell your brother earlier to ask him to take a day off, then he'll accompany you there."

Lu Ruoqing replied: "Alright! Tomorrow, I will write a letter to big brother and send it to Songshan Academy. "

Songshan Academy was currently the number one academy in the capital.

All the students in the capital were proud to be able to go to the Songshan Academy. Even those who didn't like to read books had to try to get close to them.

Those who were able to study at the Pine Mountain Academy were basically the sons and disciples of nobles of the Wealthy and Prominent Class. It was very difficult for ordinary people to enter.

Lu Mubai was also one of the disciples of Pine Mountain Academy.

His appearance was refined and refined, and he had just learned and was well-received by quite a few people in the academy.

The one accompanying him at the table was his best friend, Nian Xi. Nian Xi had sharp eyebrows, big eyes, tall stature, and dressed in a brocade robe.

It was a pity that Nian Xi was not interested in reading.

Not only was he not interested, he even … Reading was a pain for him.

"Sigh …" Nian Xi let out a long, bitter sigh, and cried out: "It's torture, torture! To be able to read like a mosquito every day is really hard to bear. "

Lu Mubai couldn't help but tease, "You're in a bad mood and you're still coming?"

"You think I'm willing?" Nian Xi snorted: "My father insisted that I come, and said that I have to get to know the young disciples of the capital, or else he would break my legs."

Speaking of which, Nian Xi immediately became limitless in spirit.

He jumped down from the balcony and walked around Lu Mubai.

Nian Xi blinked his eyes: "Big Brother Lu, how about we sneak out in the afternoon and ride at the hunting grounds? I've got some good horses, and I'll give you one. "

After saying that, he added, "Err … Other than the black cloud, pick whatever else you want. "

Lu Mubai waved his hand, "Stop messing around. It's best to wait until the tenth day before descending the mountain. Otherwise, Teacher Wang will find out."

"Ah …!" Nian Xi screamed.

He hugged his head and shouted, "Big Brother Lu, just feel sorry for me. Sitting in the academy like this all day long, my butt is going to get cocooned in a cocoon eight hours a day. "

A manservant came in and replied, "Young Master, the mansion has sent a letter over."

"A letter from home?" Worry flashed through Lu Mubai's eyes.

Could it be that his mother's illness had worsened?

He immediately took the letter and quickly took out the letter to read it.

After a moment, Lu Mubai heaved a sigh of relief, "So it's His Majesty King Huan's banquet. Ruoqing wants to go out to attend and wants me to request a day of leave to go back and accompany him."

"Ruoqing is going out?!" Nian Xi's eyes were wide and round, shining like the blazing sun.

"Wipe your saliva." Lu Mubai said.

"Eh? "Nope." Nian Xi touched the corner of his mouth and felt that he had been fooled, and realised that he was being mocked.

He also laughed and did not think much of it, "It's a feast of the His Majesty King Huan anyway, it must be really lively, I want to go too."

Lu Mubai asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Sigh!" You're the only one who has a sister. " Nian Xi pretended not to be happy.

He shouted: "Such a big banquet, A Ying will definitely go out, I have to go back and accompany him."

Of course, accompanying his little sister was just a convenience.

The main thing was still to see Lu Ruoqing.

"Oh?" Lu Mubai smiled but didn't expose this little excuse of his.

"Aiyaya, this is great." The moment Nian Xi thought of meeting Lu Ruoqing, he couldn't help but rub his hands together in excitement.

The reason he could bear with his temper and stay in the Songshan Academy was also because he wanted to get close to Lu Ruoqing.

As long as he had a good relationship with Lu Mubai and settled the matter with his future brother-in-law, it would be easy for him to marry Lu Ruoqing in the future.

King Huan's Estate, banquet …

As long as Nian Xi thought of Lu Ruoqing's face, he couldn't help but be elated.

Lu Mubai glanced at him.

This brat, had even written down his thoughts of liking his little sister on his face!

His precious little sister, being so much thought of by the reckless youth outside, had a faint feeling of discomfort in her heart, and she really wanted to beat Nian Xi up.

However, his sister was already at the age where he could kiss her.

Although Nian Xi did not like to read books, he was a clever and handsome man. Since his father was a British official, in the future, his kindness would definitely make his career smooth, and that would save his wife and children.

The most rare thing was that Nian Xi genuinely admired and admired his sister.

Qin Se and Ming were the hardest to come by.

Lu Mubai made up his mind. This time, he would privately ask his sister about her intentions when he returned home.

If nothing unexpected happened, if his little sister was satisfied with Nian Xi, Nian Xi would be his future brother-in-law.

Although Lu Mubai couldn't bear to part with his sister, he hoped that she would be happy for the rest of her life.

Thinking about it, the discomfort he felt towards Nian Xi lessened.

He smiled and said, "This matter is not urgent. There are still a few days until the birthday of the three King Huan s at the beginning of next month."

But Nian Xi had to be anxious.

Days, ah ah ah... Every day was torture to him.

The current Lu Ruoqing did not know that, in the Songshan Academy, Nian Xi had yearned to see her through the autumn waters.

Besides, even if she knew, she didn't have time to think about it.

The medicinal fragrance lifted the curtain and entered, saying, "Miss, a letter was delivered from outside."

Lu Ruoqing thought that it was her brother's reply, "Hurry and give it to me."

The medicinal fragrance passed the letter over.

Lu Ruoqing was surprised when she pulled it out.

It was actually the King Huan who asked her out.

King Huan's letter said that he had an important matter to attend to and requested his to visit Amphibiscus immediately.

As Lu Ruoqing burned the letter, she pondered.

"It seems like …" Either the carriage driver did not catch the carriage driver, or the carriage driver was a Death Soldier and King Huan did not manage to gather any useful information, which was why he was in such a hurry to see her.

However, she did not know where Xiao Shaoxuan was.

At that time, the mountain road was eighteen corners wide, and it was surrounded by wilderness. Who knew what kind of place it was?

Moreover, she had to explain why she went there and what her relationship with Xiao Shaoxuan was.

Lu Ruoqing arranged everything neatly before giving the order, "Get someone to prepare the carriage, I want to go out."

Astonished, Yao Xiang said, "Miss, this …." Aren't you tired from this whole day? You're still going out? " He was truly afraid.

Lu Ruoqing did not plan to explain, "To the Amphibiscus."

"It's almost time for dinner, and we still have to go to Amphibiscus? It's good to eat at home. "

"Do you know who delivered the message?" Lu Ruoqing asked.

"Isn't it the eldest young master?" The medicinal fragrance was instead sent into a daze.

"It's not big brother." Lu Ruoqing shook her head, and then, whispered in her ear as she explained, "It was that young noble who stopped us when we were coming back.

"Ah?!" Yao Xiang said in shock, "That's not appropriate, is it? "A single man and a single woman …"

Pill Fragrance's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she stammered, "Huan …" His Majesty King Huan? "

When he thought back to that graceful and elegant young man, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"Miss, is what you said true? It really is the His Majesty King Huan. "

Lu Ruoqing scoffed, "Could it be that there is someone who dares to pretend to be a prince?"

"Then it's true!"

The medicinal fragrance became excited and asked happily: "Miss, do you know? Even though I was very afraid at that time, His Majesty King Huan was so handsome, I couldn't help but take a few extra glances. "

Saying that, she became a little shy, "His Highness, he …." "Oh, the best man I've ever seen."

Fantasy! Lu Ruoqing really wanted to roll her eyes.

But no wonder.

King Huan was indeed very handsome, his bearing was noble, and his appearance was gentle and humble, how could a few women not be moved?

Even though she was in her previous life, hadn't she been bewitched by the King Huan's sweet words?

Medicine fragrance laughed and asked: "Miss, could it be that His Majesty King Huan has feelings for you because of your beauty? "If …" If His Majesty King Huan has taken a fancy to Miss, that would be great. "

Lu Ruoqing ridiculed: "Since you like His Majesty King Huan this much, then hurry up and recommend yourself to the pillow."

"Why does His Majesty King Huan have his eyes on me?" The medicinal fragrance was filled with reverie, and there was no mockery in it.

Instead, he looked at her with a burning gaze.

"On the other hand, Miss, with your beauty, you and His Majesty King Huan are a perfect match."

Good match?! Lu Ruoqing felt her stomach churn when she heard this word.
