The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1414: throbbing
Chapter 1414 Thrilling
How come it’s still worth being so proud when you’re often beaten in the army?
“You are so happy, but… because your mother has been choosing a husband for you these days?” Lu Yuanqing looked at his silly brother and asked, “Now that the order comes, we don’t have to discuss marriage anymore, right?”
Lu Yuanqing knew that the reason why his mother arranged Lu Yuanpeng’s marriage first was simply because she felt that if Lu Yuanpeng chose the path of a military general, he might be transferred to any place where there was a war at any time. Wasn’t that what happened to the generals of the Bai family? So his mother wanted to arrange a marriage for him while Lu Yuanpeng was still in the capital.
Lu Yuanpeng was suddenly seen through by his brother, and his ears turned red as he denied it: “That’s not true! Brother, what are you thinking about!”
“But have you got someone you like?” Lu Yuanqing’s eyes were venomous. After all, he was his brother. Didn’t he know how many evil minds he had?
Without waiting for Lu Yuanpeng to speak, Lu Yuanqing indifferently took out a beautiful hairpin and a jade pendant from his pocket: “You found it under the pillow…”
Lu Yuanpeng quickly pulled away his pillow and saw that the hairpin and jade pendant hidden under the pillow were gone.
Lv Yuanpeng: “…”
He stretched out his hand to grab it, but his brother raised his hand to avoid it. He saw his brother put the hairpin and jade pendant back into his sleeves, slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and said: “Tell me, which girl did you originally plan to give it to? If you dare to talk nonsense, you can’t leave. I will personally ask His Majesty to let you go after mother arranges a marriage for you!”
“You really are my brother!” Lu Yuanpeng said this angrily, then turned around and covered his head with the quilt in a huff, as if his little secret hidden deep in his heart had been discovered. He felt a little embarrassed and a little nervous.
This is the first time that Lu Yuanpeng has had this feeling since he was a child. He is worried about gains and losses, but he dare not say it out loud… He is afraid that if he says it out loud, he will not even be able to be friends with others.
Think of him, Young Master Lu Yuanpeng, the little bully who was known to everyone in the capital. He once made a bold statement… He said that if he wanted to get married, he must marry the most virtuous lady in the capital, preferably as virtuous as his sister Feng Lang, who would not dare to control him from going out to eat, drink and have fun.
Who knew… who knew that I would end up falling in love with a tomboy!
And she’s a tomboy who keeps threatening to beat him so hard that his mother won’t recognize him!
It would be fine if she was not gentle and considerate at all, but when she beat him, she meant death. If he really married a girl like that, he would probably be beaten three times a day.
Looking at his brother’s expression, Lu Yuanqing knew that his silly brother was probably really moved.
“Tell me, which family is this girl from?” Lu Yuanqing straightened his sleeves. “As long as she is not a royal lady, even if she is from a small family, as long as you like her… I will convince my parents.”
The reason why Lu Yuanqing could say this was because he felt that it was impossible for a man with such an eccentric personality like Lu Yuanqing to like any girl from the Bai family. Besides… the Lu family had received great favors from heaven, so they had to know how to be content and not be greedy… They still expected to marry a girl from the Bai family home after receiving the favor from the emperor!
Moreover, His Majesty has already said that the marriages of the sons of the Bai family will never be involved in state affairs. So if Lu Yuanpeng really likes a girl from the Bai family, he might not even be able to get past his father-in-law, let alone convince his parents.
Hearing his brother’s words, Lu Yuanpeng tightly grasped his quilt and covered his head tightly: “No one! The hairpin and jade pendant are given to Sister Feng Lang by me!”
“Who are you kidding?” Lu Yuanqing said calmly, “If it was for Feng Lang, Feng Lang has come to see you so many times since you came back, and you kept it under your pillow and didn’t give it to him?”
“I forgot!” Lu Yuanpeng said stubbornly.
Seeing Lv Yuanpeng like this, Lv Yuanqing became more and more curious: “Who made the daring Lv Yuanpeng become like this…”
Lu Yuanqing paused, his eyes fell on the bulge in the quilt, and said, “The one you like…isn’t it a girl from the Bai family? The fifth girl? The sixth girl? The seventh girl is too young…”
Lv Yuanqing thought of how Lv Yuanpeng had fought with Bai Jinzhi, the fourth daughter of the Bai family, and how he had saved her on the battlefield. He stood up suddenly and pulled away the blanket that was wrapped around Lv Yuanpeng’s head. “The one you admire… is King Gao Yi?”
Lu Yuanpeng’s face flushed red, and he angrily snatched the quilt from Lu Yuanqing’s hand and covered his head with it: “I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!”
Seeing his brother’s appearance, Lu Yuanqing did not argue with him, but calmed down. He sat down on the chair and said to Lu Yuanpeng: “Although it is said that our Lu family has received extraordinary favor from the emperor, but His Majesty also said… the marriage of the sons of the Bai family has nothing to do with politics. If you really like King Gao Yi, then show your ability and don’t let King Gao Yi leave you too far behind. This time when you go to the old place of Daliang, try to make great achievements and come back!”
When Lu Yuanpeng, who was lying in bed, heard his brother’s words, he clenched the corner of the quilt tightly with his sweaty hands, but he… didn’t know what Bai Jinzhi thought of him.
He felt that Bai Jinzhi only treated him as a moving stake who could practice martial arts with her and take beatings.
After a long while, Lu Yuanpeng finally spoke in a muffled voice: “But I… feel like Bai Jinzhi is using me as a stake!”
Not getting a response from his brother, Lu Yuanpeng turned around…
“…”
In this huge room, there is no trace of my brother!
The younger brother of the same mother, the boy’s heart was beating for the first time, and just when he was anxious and needed his brother to comfort and solve his doubts, he ran away…
Good job!
On the second day, Cheng Yuanzhi and others set off almost lying on the carriage.
Bai Jinzhi rode his horse outside the city gate to see them off early in the morning. Seeing Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping lying in the carriage, he laughed so hard that he almost fell off the horse.
Also setting off with the army were envoys from the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Dongyi Kingdom, including Liu Rushi, Lu Fenglang, and Fan Yugan.
Bai Qingyu came to see off Cheng Yuanzhi, Shen Liangyu and others instead of Bai Qingyan…
Yesterday, Cheng Yuanzhi received the imperial edict and struggled to get up and go to the palace to meet Bai Qingyan, but was rejected and was only told to take good care of his injuries.
Bai Qingyu came today because of An Chengyuan’s intention. Although they were making up for their crimes, it was actually an excuse to re-employ them.
“General Cheng, General Shen…you two must be careful in what you do in the future! The Bai family’s soldiers are all our family. No matter what happens or what doubts we have in our hearts, we should talk about it behind closed doors and never make a big deal out of it!” Bai Qingyu’s voice has recovered a lot under the care of Doctor Hong. Although it is hoarse now, it is not as hoarse as before.
“Deputy Commander, I, Old Cheng, will remember this!” Cheng Yuanzhi bowed to Bai Qingyu.
“Shen Liangyu also remembered it!” Shen Liangyu clasped his fists towards Bai Qingyu.
