After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight
Chapter 644: Bao Zhu Zhu is comingLu Yuan was sitting in the room quietly looking at the geographical atlases of Youzhou.
It was his first time returning to Youzhou.
When I went to other states and counties before, I would also read the geographical records related to the local area, but at that time it was more out of official considerations.
"Grand Governor!"
Shangguan Ling rushed into the house in a hurry.
He saw that his commander-in-chief was concentrating on reading a book. On the table were writing brushes, ink and a map of An County, Pingcheng Commandery, Youzhou. There were several places circled on the map.
He walked forward curiously and took a closer look.
Lu Ji Donkey Meat Restaurant, Fengyang Tower, Ten Miles of Peach Forest, Ming Ji Tea House...
"Grand Commander, what are you doing?"
Lu Yuan pointed to the shop he had circled and said, "Go take a look later."
Shangguan Ling thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a case?"
Lu Yuan: "See if it lives up to its name."
Shangguan Ling: We’ve been working on this for half a day, and instead of solving a case, we’re exploring a store?
Lu Yuan picked up the pen and circled another place.
Shangguan Ling said with a sigh, "These are all the food that the young lady likes to eat."
Is this still the brutal and inhuman governor he knows?
They are such different people!
"Still not leaving?"
Lu Yuan asked.
He was busy reading the geography book and didn't even glance at Shangguan Ling.
"Subordinates retire."
Shangguan Ling turned and left.
Just as he reached the door, he paused again and slapped his forehead, "Why am I walking? I haven't even talked about business yet!"
Lu Yuan pointed at the circled map with his slender jade-like fingertips: "This is the real business."
Shangguan Ling returned to him and sighed helplessly: "Something serious has really happened."
Lu Yuan turned a page: "Speak."
Shangguan Ling said: "The Meng family wants to throw a ball to the young lady to find a husband."
Lu Yuan's expression paused.
You only think about eating, drinking and having fun, and let others steal your girlfriend, right?
Shangguan Ling didn't dare to say this.
He cleared his throat and said, "The matchmaker has come to the door and is discussing the marriage with Madam Meng. Commander-in-chief, the Meng family is serious this time and has no intention of recognizing this marriage."
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Yuan deeply and said, "Grand Commander, do you want to..."
He didn't say anything else.
But Lu Yuan understood.
He said calmly: "No need to say."
Shangguan Ling opened his mouth and said, "Yes."
"Finished?"
Lu Yuan asked.
"That's it."
Shangguan Ling answered.
Lu Yuan pointed to the map.
Shangguan Ling held his forehead with his hand. "No, it's already this hour. Grand Commander, are you still thinking about exploring the customs and practices of Youzhou? We were clearly tricked by that guy! Needless to say, he must have given this bad idea to Mr. Meng!"
Lu Yuan said calmly: "It's not a bad idea."
Shangguan Ling was stunned: "Grand Commander!"
Lu Yuan said: "Okay, go do your thing."
Shangguan Ling left.
Meng Tianlan had just returned from the shop when he heard the servant mention this matter. Without saying a word, he went to Mr. Meng's yard.
Mr. Meng is feeding the birds.
"father!"
Meng Tianlan asked anxiously, "Are you going to throw a ball to the third girl to find a husband?"
Mr. Meng hummed lightly.
Meng Tianlan was stunned: "Is this true? I thought it was just the servants gossiping..."
He walked around to the other side of Mr. Meng and said, "Dad, Qianqian and Lu Yuan have already been married. How can Qianqian cope with this?"
Mr. Meng said coldly: "That was your own decision. I didn't acknowledge this marriage!"
Meng Tianlan sighed, "Okay, okay, even if I act on my own, they are already husband and wife. It's not right to tear them apart alive, right? Besides, Dad knows Lu Yuan's identity. Aren't you afraid of angering him? He will give an order and make the Meng family disappear from the world from now on?"
Mr. Meng snorted.
Just at this moment, Meng Tianhe also arrived at Mr. Meng's yard.
Meng Tianlan hurriedly pulled him over: "Second brother, you came at the right time. The old man wants to throw a ball to Qianqian to find a husband. You should persuade the old man!"
Meng Tianhe glanced at him and said to Old Man Meng, "Dad, I've asked someone to calculate the date. Three days from now is the auspicious day for the marriage."
Meng Tianlan: "Second brother!"
"I'll go get ready."
Meng Tianhe said to the old man.
Mr. Meng nodded.
Meng Tianlan gritted his teeth and caught up with his second brother.
"Brother, don't you think this decision is ridiculous? How can a married girl go back to her parents' home to throw a bouquet to find a husband? Besides, throwing a bouquet... is too hasty! What if some unscrupulous person snatches it away..."
Meng Tianhe said: "If you are worried about this, there is no need to worry. Not everyone is qualified to come to the Meng family to seek marriage."
Meng Tianlan did not give up and went to find his second sister-in-law Ji.
Ji's attitude is consistent with that of Mr. Meng and Meng Tianhe.
"Second sister-in-law!"
"I understand what you mean, but since Grandfather did this, he must have his reasons."
"What reason can he have? He was the one who insisted on marrying Qianqian into the Lu family's hellhole, and now he is the one who wants to find a husband for Qianqian! Second sister-in-law, you always have a say in front of the old man, why don't you go and persuade him?"
Ji shook his head: "Do you think I didn't persuade him? When Grandfather mentioned this to me, I did. You know the old man's temper. Once he makes up his mind, even eight horses can't pull him back."
Meng Tianlan had to admit that what his second sister-in-law said made sense.
His biological father is indeed a stubborn person to the core.
He scratched his head: "No, where did the old man come up with this bad idea?"
"Second Aunt, oh, Third Uncle is here too."
Meng Lang walked to the door with a smile.
Meng Tianlan looked at this nagging boy, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Is it you?"
Meng Lang smiled brightly: "It's not me."
"I haven't told you what it is yet!"
Meng Tianlan took off his shoes and slapped Meng Lang hard with the soles of his shoes. "I let you come up with such bad ideas! I will skin you alive today!"
Meng Lang ran away.
After the person left, he did not forget to look up and poked his head in from outside the door, "Second Aunt, I'll come to see you later."
The chaotic daily life of "father and son" began again.
Ji shook his head and began to prepare for the marriage.
The news that Miss Meng threw out a ball to find a husband spread like wildfire in Youzhou.
The young talents who came to seek marriage almost broke down the threshold of the Meng family.
Some of the wealthy families who had dealings with the Meng family knew that Meng Qianqian had married into the capital.
But everyone knew exactly how much dowry the Meng family could give.
Furthermore, some people also met the third daughter of the Meng family on the street. She was so beautiful and charming that it was no exaggeration to say that she was a fairy from heaven.
Ji and Yan were so dazzled by the selection of portraits.
"Second sister-in-law, how many are left?"
Yan asked with a dejected look on his face.
Ji pointed to a pile of portraits on the table and said, "It's almost done."
"There are so many more."
Yan's head drooped and fell heavily on the table.
In a blink of an eye, it was the night before the marriage proposal.
Ji sent the final group of young talents selected to Mr. Meng's courtyard, asking the old man to review them personally, but there were still some to be screened out.
Mr. Meng was looking at the portrait.
Suddenly, a cute little kid came over.
