Chapter 9 Cui Yanmei
After the Lu brothers entertained Cui Longruo for dinner, they came to the boy's residence together. The boy took a walk in the evening and had not returned, the two brothers sat in the pavilion in front of the room and enjoyed the scenery and waited.
"Brother, where did Yanmei go?"
"I don't know anymore, I've looked for places she often goes to."
"Brother, do you know why Yanmei doesn't want to discuss marriage?"
Lu Zi'an didn't say anything.
"Brother, is Yanmei treating you..."
Lu Zi'an's face darkened and his eyes were sharp, "Don't say this."
Lu Ziyu shrugged and touched the gray nose.
"Brother, you said, why did Uncle Cui Shi insist on seeing the young master?"
"Because of Linghua."
"Yes, brother, I think so too. Does Uncle Cui Shi also covet Linghua?"
"Who doesn't covet this world?"
"Yes, after reading those records, I want to compete for the Linghua."
As the two were talking, they watched the boy return slowly, and then stood up to salute.
The boy returned the gift and invited the two brothers into the house.
After serving the tea, the young man wrote on the paper "The library has been completed."
The Lu brothers were obviously surprised, and Lu Ziyu said, "In just three months, you have finished reading the books in our library? My goodness, if my private school teacher finds out, he will definitely vomit blood."
The boy lowered his head and lowered his eyes without saying a word.
Lu Zian asked, "Young Master, do you want to discuss where to go?"
The boy nodded.
Lu Zi'an Dao "A Xuan left you here at that time because you like this library. Now that the collection has been read, I wonder if the young master is willing to stay here? Although I, Lu, will definitely not treat the gentleman with food and clothing for three meals."
The boy stood up and bowed to express his gratitude. He also wrote on the paper, "I hope to find another book collection."
Lu Ziyu seemed to be about to collapse, "You said you haven't read enough yet. Our Lu family's library is already the largest in the world. Thanks to my failure to be with your classmates, otherwise I would have to be beaten to death by my husband."
Lu Zian stopped Lu Ziyu with his eyes, so he kept silent, but he still looked angry.
Lu Zian said slowly, "We need to discuss this matter. Please wait for the young master. Ah Xuan will come soon. He brought you. If you want to leave, say hello to him."
The boy nodded.
The Lu brothers said goodbye, and the night was getting darker, and the crescent moon was like a hook, and it appeared and disappeared from time to time, and everything was unclear.
The two brothers were talking nonsense while walking.
"Brother, do you really let him go? What should I do if Linghua?"
"He wants to read books from Zhaixing Pavilion."
"Hmm? Why didn't I hear this?"
Lu Zian smiled slightly, "This young master is careful and does not show any color. If he is a member of his peers, I will definitely regard him as a guest of honor."
Lu Ziyu curled his lips, "Brother, don't praise him. Praise me."
Lu Zian smiled happier, "Okay, Ziyu is the best."
Then Lu Ziyu jumped around Lu Zi'an like a bee with honey.
Lu Zi'an said, "We have long-term plans for this matter."
Lu Ziyu looked proud, "Well, brother must have a way."
Cui Yanmei, who had been missing for a few days, has returned. Her clothes were covered in dust and her hair was a little messy. She was chased by her father to take a shower, change clothes, wash and make up. Yanmei, who was dressed up, had calmness and courage that she had not had before, but that courage looked as thin as a cicada's wings.
Yanmei asked her father to call all the Lu brothers over, and also called the young master in the ancient painting to testify, and discuss her own affairs with her father.
Cui Longruo had no choice but to agree, so after lunch, everyone gathered in the hall again.
Yanmei saluted the crowd, knelt in front of Cui Longruo, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Dad, I won't go back. I don't discuss marriage. If you allow it, I will continue to stay in the library. If you don't allow it, my stool will splatter on the spot. I forgive my daughter for being unfilial."
Everyone around was shocked, and the boy raised his eyes, looking at the familiar and delicate woman, bursting out such powerful power.
Cui Longruo's face turned pale and white, and after a while, he said, "Let's talk about it when you go back, don't talk about it outside the family affairs."
Cui Yanmei shook her head decisively, "If I go back, I can only let the domination, I won't go back."
Cui Longruo suppressed his anger, "You have passed the Double Tenth Period and don't discuss marriage. Do you want to die alone? If you don't go back, you have to have a reason! I have never heard anyone say that you will never marry for the library."
Cui Yanmei mustered up great courage, "I won't go back, not just for the library."
After a moment of pause, she said word by word, "I have a sweetheart."
Cui Longruo seemed to be venting his anger, "You, you, a beautiful girl, what are you talking about in front of so many people? Do you want your reputation? Do you want your reputation? Where did you place Cui!"
After Cui Yanmei said it, she became much more calm, "Dad, forgive my daughter for being unfilial. My daughter never thought of marrying someone else in this life. If my sweetheart doesn't want to marry me, I will stay in the library to study all my life. But if my sweetheart is willing to marry me, Dad, please help me." As she said that, Cui Yanmei's tears burst out and she couldn't stop it.
The boy swept his eyes to Lu Zi'an from the corner of his eyes.
Lu Zian's face was also very strange, red and white, and particularly awkward.
"Dad, you love your daughter. The happiness of my daughter's family is in marriage. You take me back to discuss marriage and ask me to marry someone I don't like. Dad, there are many couples in this world who are in harmony and detached, and many of them are my husbands, but if I can stay with my sweetheart for life and grow old, I will never regret it until I die."
Cui Longruo closed his eyes, but his palms were tightly clenched into fists.
Lu Zian stood up and said, "Uncle Cui Shishi, this is your family matter, so we will take the leave first." Cui Longruo opened his blood-red eyes and nodded.
Lu Zian and Lu Ziyu saluted with the young man and prepared to say goodbye.
Cui Yanmei cried and said loudly, "Brother Zi'an, don't leave, don't leave. Tell your father, you are willing to marry me, and beg your father with me, we are childhood sweethearts, always accompany each other, and have a close relationship with each other. They are clearly a ready-made couple, so why should I take me back to discuss the marriage?" Cui Yanmei said while crying, her face flushed like blood, and she was almost fainting.
Lu Zian was stunned, as if he was hit by lightning, and even his neck turned red. He quickly saluted Cui Longruo and said, "Uncle Shi, don't misunderstand, I have no relationship with Yanmei."
Cui Longruo's face calmed down just now.
"Uncle Shi, I grew up with Yanmei, but I was just a childhood playmate. When I grew up, I treated each other with courtesy and never had any unreasonable thoughts." "'And the marriage is the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, how could my nephew not obey ethics and do things that violate human ethics?"
Cui Yanmei looked at Lu Zi'an straight and shouted hoarsely, "Brother Zi'an, don't you like me?"
Cui Longruo slapped the square table at hand, and the table shattered into powder.
"I don't have a daughter like you."
