The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1531: kowtow
Chapter 1531 Kowtow
“Don’t be so arrogant, Little Six of the Lu family. I am the King Gaoyi of the Great Zhou. If you don’t greet me and yell at me, I will report you to General Lu. You will have to spend the rest of your days off in the ancestral hall!” Bai Jinzhi has now figured out a way to get along with Lu Yuanpeng. His father-in-law is the person Lu Yuanpeng fears the most. Now in the imperial city… his father-in-law is in charge. Bai Jinzhi doesn’t believe that Lu Yuanpeng would dare to be arrogant.
When Lu Yuanpeng heard this, his eyes widened. He really looked like a little chick with its neck pinched, angry but not daring to speak.
However, the dandies following behind Lu Yuanpeng were very tactful and called Bai Jinzhi “King Gaoyi” and saluted Bai Jinzhi.
Bai Jinzhi whipped his horse and rode away, leaving only one sentence, asking Sima Ping and Lu Yuanpeng to take the stick themselves.
“This little girl from the Bai family, it turns out that her elder sister is not in the capital, so no one is taking care of her!” Lu Yuanpeng said gritting his teeth.
Seeing that Prince Gaoyi had left, these playboys who usually had a very good relationship with Lu Yuanpeng no longer kept their mouths shut.
Some said with a smile: “Although our Majesty is not here, there is always someone who can control Prince Gao Yi. Look… I heard that the third wife of the Bai family has started looking for a family for Prince Gao Yi.”
“Oh! Then once King Gao Yi gets married, there will be someone to look after him!”
When Lu Yuanpeng heard this, his ears turned red, and his tone was inevitably anxious: “Why…why haven’t I heard anyone mention it? Has anyone chosen the third wife? Who do you want to choose?”
“My mother said that it hasn’t been decided yet, but many people want to curry favor with King Gao Yi. I heard that some people even wanted to play the hero who saved the beauty, but they were beaten by our King Gao Yi and lost their minds!”
“I’ve heard about this, too. My mother told me about it when she went back home. This King Gao Yi is so fierce. It seems that it will be difficult for him to find a good marriage!”
“Look at what you’re saying. He’s Prince Gao Yi! How many people want to marry into the royal family, and they have to send their sons to Prince Gao Yi!”
“That’s right. Even my mother said that if I wasn’t so disappointing, she would have wanted to go to the Third Madam to see if she would like me! She also said… it’s not a big deal that the Third Miss of the Bai family was born out of wedlock and got her face hurt. I’ll go ask the Third Madam’s opinion tomorrow! What the hell is this!”
Most of these playboys who can play with Lu Yuanpeng have good family backgrounds and act spontaneously, not the kind of people who try to curry favor with the rich and powerful.
Most of them knew that they could not be as successful as Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping, but they were not spineless enough to rely on nepotism to become royal relatives. Therefore, they felt embarrassed when their family members were very concerned and enthusiastic about this matter.
After drinking, Sima Ping looked at Lv Yuanpeng with sparkling eyes. Seeing that Lv Yuanpeng’s face was pale, he stood up, hooked his arm around Lv Yuanpeng’s neck, and said with a smile, “Let’s go and get the stick!”
“You guys are really going!” A friend asked in confusion, “Maybe King Gao Yi is just teasing you!”
Sima Ping turned around and smiled: “The military rules of the Bai Family Army are not for fun!”
Lu Yuanpeng’s mind is now full of what his friends said just now. The third wife of the Bai family has already started to choose a husband for Bai Jinzhi, and the noble families in the capital city are also eager to try and want their sons to give it a try.
Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. What if the third wife of the Bai family really falls in love with some bad boy?
As soon as he got downstairs, Sima Ping whispered in the ear of Lu Yuanpeng, who was lost in thought and had a grim expression, “Go out, ride fast back to your Lu Mansion to find your father-in-law, and tell him that you like King Gao Yi, and ask your father-in-law to help you! It’s too late… The fourth daughter of the Bai family might belong to someone else!”
When Lu Yuanpeng heard this, his eyes lit up. Sima Ping had been making such a fuss for such a long time, and he wanted to drag him to be punished. He wanted to pull him out and give him time to go back and beg their father-in-law!
But…can their father-in-law be accurate?
Although Lu Yuanpeng was not very smart, he understood that now that their Lu family had gained the trust of the elder sister of the Bai family, it could be said that their family was at its peak. If they asked for the hand in marriage of King Gao Yi at this time, people would inevitably think that the Lu family was getting too greedy and greedy.
Even for his elder brother, Lu Yuanqing, who was such an outstanding man, when his father-in-law and father talked about his marriage, they said that the Lu family was too favored by the emperor now, and they were afraid that their prosperity would eventually decline, so they had to be more cautious. Even his brother could only marry a lower-ranking wife, and would not consider important officials above the fourth rank in the court.
Lu Yuanpeng listened at the window and thought that his brother didn’t need any support from the Yue family anyway, so he didn’t take it seriously and left.
Even his elder brother, who was so outstanding, had to marry someone of lower status. If he said he wanted to marry the fourth daughter of the Bai family, the old man would probably be scared to death!
Seeing Lu Yuanpeng’s hesitation, Sima Ping hooked his arm around Lu Yuanpeng’s neck and said in a rare serious tone: “If you must marry the Bai family’s fourth daughter, go back quickly and settle the matter! If… you don’t have to marry her, so don’t regret it in the future.”
Lu Yuanpeng gritted his teeth, bowed solemnly to Sima Ping, and said, “You are my best brother! I know you are saying this for my own good! I must have her in my life! I will go back and beg my father-in-law now. If he doesn’t agree, I will kneel down and die in front of him! If it works… I will buy you a drink!”
After saying that, Lu Yuanpeng ran out in a hurry and shouted to the followers guarding outside the door to bring his horse over.
Sima Ping stood at the stairs, watching Lv Yuanpeng climb on his horse and whip away. He clenched his fists, and after a while, a smile appeared between his eyebrows…
“Master!” Sima Ping’s attendant saw that his master looked drunk, and hurried forward to support him, “Master, shall we go home?”
“Go back!” Sima Ping said calmly.
The servant responded happily and helped Sima Ping out.

Lu Yuanpeng rode back to the mansion at full speed. He dismounted in front of the mansion gate, threw the whip to the servant and asked, “Where is Grandpa?”
“Replying to Sixth Young Master, the Grand Commandant is in the study…”
Lu Yuanpeng rushed to his father-in-law’s study room like a gust of wind. When he entered and saw his father-in-law looking at something, he knelt down and kowtowed.
This frightened General Lu so much that his hands were shaking. He hadn’t seen Lu Yuanpeng make such a big scene in a long time. In the past, the cleaner Lu Yuanpeng knelt, the bigger the mistake he made!
Lu Yuanpeng had just returned and no one knew what mistake he had made. He actually knelt down and kowtowed three times, with his head banging against his head. Taiwei Lu’s heart was pounding. Such a great honor…an old man like him couldn’t bear it!
“Old man!” Lu Yuanpeng bowed solemnly and said, “I have a girl I like. I beg you to help me and propose marriage to her on my behalf!”
