If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified

The girl in the blue shirt and the old woman left the Lu Mansion, went to Zhutai Lake, and boarded a small boat.

The long sword on the waist of the blue-shirted girl also emitted a faint blue light under the setting sun.

The old woman stood behind the blue-shirted girl with her head down all the time.

The girl covered her face with a light veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but the melancholy in her eyes was quite obvious.

"Miss, although the third young master of the Lu family is a concubine, and because of the old incident eight years ago, his status in the Lu family is low, but when it comes to bearing, he is much more brilliant than the fun-loving Lu Qiong."

The old woman said: "Master and Madam know that this Lu Jing is not a worthless concubine who should not be favored, so maybe they will let go of this and agree to this marriage."

The girl in blue is none other than Nan Heyu from Nanguo's mansion who is already engaged to Lu Jing.

She stands upright and is boating on the lake, but she has a unique temperament, as if she wants to blend in with the calm lake.

The old woman saw that her young lady, who is known as the master of swordsmanship, didn't talk to her, she hesitated for a while, and then said in hesitation: "Master is also thinking of you, and I can't bear to have you become a victim of Nanfu.

He has always hoped that you can escape the shackles of the clan, find your own way of swordsmanship, and find that Mr. Luo..."

Nan Heyu, who had never spoken, coughed lightly, interrupting the old woman's words.

"Father and mother are naturally thinking of me." Nan Heyu looked at the setting sun and said, "It's just that since grandpa has already made a marriage contract, he wants Lu Jing to marry me into my Nanfu, and even his life deed has been removed from the household registration. If it is recorded in the Nanfu Outer Book, then this Lu Jing has been completely reduced to a lowly status.

My father and mother blamed my grandfather for making such a decision without discussing it with them, and insisted on wanting me to withdraw the engagement.

But since we already have an appointment, if I write a letter of divorce and call off the marriage, it won't affect me.

But the third young master of the Lu family completely ruined his future because of this..."

Having said this, Nan Heyu let out a sigh of relief.

The old woman also nodded and said: "It's not just ruining the future, I'm afraid that in the future, this Lu Jing, who is one year younger than Miss, will live in the ridicule of others.

At first, he was reduced to a son-in-law and a lowly family, and later he was rejected by the lady and divorced. If he had a weak heart, he might die of anger. "

When the old woman spoke, there was a bit of unbearable expression in her eyes.

This intolerance was not only intolerable towards Nan Heyu whom she had grown up with, but also towards Lu Jing's future life.

"The old Duke probably has no choice." The old woman said to herself: "If the generation of the Duke's mansion is upright, or if Mr. Fengmian is still around, the old Duke will not go through so much trouble to let the Miss will stay in Taixuanjing and take charge of the Nanfu."

There was no oarsman on the small boat, but the flat boat seemed to be driven by some strange force, and it moved silently in the lake.

Nan Heyu closed her eyes and said nothing.

After a long time, Nan Heyu suddenly opened his eyes.

But she saw her right hand resting on the hilt of her waist.

The sword energy secretly followed the flowing water and fell into the scenery of Zhutai Lake.

Immediately, three hundred sword lights rose one after another, shattering the scenery in the lake and the water in the lake.

The cracks on the lake are fleeting, and the sunset is also falling at this time.

Nan Heyu's voice also revealed a bit of helplessness.

"Today I know I'm rude, but I still go to the Lu residence, just to see the third son of the Lu family."

"I originally hoped that the third son of the Lu family would be unlearned and incompetent, even if he was not from a humble family, he would have little future in the future.

In this way, after I divorced, I will give him some compensation in the dark, give him money and property, and let him be a rich man for the rest of his life. In the deep mansion of the bones, be a concubine who is hated by others. "

Nan Heyu seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be confiding to the old woman: "But I didn't expect that the third son of the Lu family is familiar with the classics, and he looks in his eyes, and he also has ambitions in his chest.

If I divorce the engagement, what will happen to the third son of the Lu family? It is already a great shame and humiliation for a man of lofty ideals to become a son-in-law, but now... I am afraid that a young man's life will be killed for no reason. "

The old woman's wrinkled face showed a bit of approval and said: "Mr. Lu's view of Zhongzheng is extraordinary, but this is second, and I don't quite understand the old woman.

But watching him state what he has learned, he does have a bit of tolerance. If he can always be diligent, he will have a promising future. "

Nan Heyu's eyes drooped slightly: "Since grandpa has made an agreement, as a member of the Nan family, I must obey it, and I must not break my promise, and I must not harm a young man's future...or even his life.

Even though he is still a son-in-law, he does not need to be ridiculed by others, and there will still be many opportunities to become an official or practice in the future..."

The old woman was surprised and said: "Miss, you have already made a decision? But where is the master and madam?"

"Let's just say that I went to the Lu Mansion, and I fell in love with the third son of the Lu family at a glance, and I don't want to leave Beijing since then." Nan Heyu remained expressionless.

"...Yes." The old woman sighed again in her heart.

Master and Madam know Miss very well, so they naturally know that Miss's heart is no longer in the Duke's Mansion, not in this Taixuanjing.

But it lies in that sea, that island, on the body of Mr. Luo, who is dressed in white and has a few wind and rain sword qi wrapped around his fingertips.

How easy is it to hide it from them?

——

Another day, Lu Mansion.

Lu Yi was chasing after Sheng Zi, her two braids were swaying and swaying.

"Sister Sheng, where are you going?"

"You walk so fast, isn't that box of peach blossom cakes going to shatter?"

Sheng Zi is wearing a red dress and has a fair face, but her brows look heroic.

"Lu Yi, don't worry about this box of peach blossom cakes anymore, I'm going to give it as a gift."

"Gifts? Who is Sister Sheng going to give gifts to? Except for the guest rooms, the west courtyard of the Lu Mansion is full of servants... Hmm... What if Sister Sheng is looking for Lu Jing?"

Lu Yi is not stupid. From Sheng Zi's words before, and her insistence on taking a look at Lu Jing at the Glazed Water Pavilion, Lu Yi can tell that Sheng Zi is quite interested in Lu Jing.

Now, even taking the box of peach blossom cakes that Lu Yi asked for from the old lady under the guise of her name, and heading towards the west courtyard, Lu Yi can guess where Sheng Zi is going.

"Sister Sheng, Lu Jing was just talking nonsense yesterday. Even brother Lu Qiong said that what Lu Jing said was very different from what Mr. Zhu taught, don't let him fool you."

Sheng Zi smiled slightly, walking faster and faster, her skirt fluttering.

Lu Yi didn't know that after she came out of the Glazed Water Pavilion yesterday, Sheng Zi returned to the Sheng Mansion, and happened to see Zhong Yubai, the Confucian scholar in the mansion.

She suddenly remembered Lu Jing's views on Zhongzheng, and being curious, she relayed Lu Jing's understanding of Zhongzheng to Zhong Yubo verbatim.

Sheng Zi still remembered Zhong Yubai's astonished expression at that time, and she even kept asking which master, or which fragment of an isolated book, came from such an opinion.

It was only then that Sheng Zi realized that in the Glazed Water Pavilion yesterday, almost everyone was attracted by Lu Jing's flying spirit and extraordinary aura, and was even a little impressed.

However, none of the people present that day were proficient in Confucian scholars, and they did not realize the extraordinaryness of Lu Jing's theory of Zhongzheng and the unity of man and nature.

"This kind of insights that amazed even famous Confucian scholars must not have come from Lu Jing, who is only sixteen years old. Maybe Lu Jing found some rare classics from Lu's miscellaneous books."

"If I can borrow this classic book, Master Zhong may be able to teach me some equestrian skills and help me keep my heels down."

Sheng Zi was thinking happily, with a little hope in her eyes.
