Chapter 174 A compromise

Seeing Zhang Zhengdao's straightforward words, Mrs. Jia was hesitant in her heart. How could she marry her daughter and have her as a child?

"Mr. Zhang, I'm here today to thank you for saving my life." Mrs. Jia gave up her thoughts of recruiting a son-in-law.

When Zhang Zhengdao saw what Mrs. Jia said, he already understood what she meant. It seemed that he needed to make amends. He should first choose a compromise method to make retreat in order to advance. He could not just cut off his fate with the Jia family, so he smiled and said: "

Miss Jia and I hit it off like old friends, why don't we become brother and sister, I wonder what my aunt wants?"

Mrs. Jia's heart was moved. Now the Jia family is in decline. There are no boys in the family. Although her daughter Jia has reached the marriageable age, she has never been able to find a suitable husband.

The handsome young man in front of me is considered good in appearance, age, family background, and character. I am quite pleased with him, but he already has a wife and concubines at home, which is a pity.

Since I can't be husband and wife with my daughter, it's not bad to be a brother and sister couple.

"That's very good!" Mrs. Jia said.

Zhang Zhengdao stood up, cupped his hands with Jia and said with a smile: "I've met my sister."

Seeing that her mother had given her a brother in a few words, Jia was a little hesitant, but seeing the smile on Mrs. Jia's face, she could only return the greeting: "Sister, I have met my brother."

After confirming the relationship between brother and sister, they can naturally enter and leave Jia's house openly and openly in the future. After a while, Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "It is a happy event to recognize my sister today. How about tonight, I will put a table of wine and food in Cuiyun Tower with us.

A get-together with my aunt and sister."

Mrs. Jia smiled and said: "Zhengdao is determined."

Hearing that Mrs. Jia had even changed her own title, the senior officials were secretly happy that their work was finally not in vain.

Suddenly I remembered that my sister Jia married Lu Junyi for some unknown reason. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, her life was obviously not very satisfactory, otherwise she would not have easily hooked up with the housekeeper Li Gu.

Put a cuckold on "Dasha".

Zhang Zhengdao guessed that Jia had not given birth to any children for five years after marrying into the Lu family, which showed that one of the couple must have problems.

Either Lu Junyi is obsessed with guns and sticks, practicing martial arts all day long, and does not understand the style, making Jia stay alone in the empty room every night, or it is because of Jia that she cannot have children.

Or maybe Lu Junyi is not good at that and can never get Jia pregnant.

No matter what the truth was, Zhang Zhengdao was determined to spoil the marriage, so he continued: "Later, I will go with General Suo Chao, the deputy commander of the left-behind department, to visit Yiyi Lu Jun."

"When I was in Yunzhou, I often heard from people in the Jianghu that there was a high-ranking official in Daming Mansion named Lu Junyi. He was a martial arts fanatic. He only focused on building up his strength and did not kiss women. He was known as the 'Jade Unicorn' of Hebei. He was the best with guns and sticks.

His skills are unparalleled in the world, so I have the heart to learn about him."

Zhang Zhengdao pretended to be casual and defined Lu Junyi as a martial arts idiot who was not close to women. He first left such an impression on the mother and daughter so that they would not be blinded by the Lu family's wealth in the future and easily marry Jia.

.

Mrs. Jia said: "I know this person too. The Lu family has lived here for a long time and is one of the first-class wealthy households in Daming Mansion."

"No wonder this man, who is in his mid-twenties and has never married, turns out to be a reckless man obsessed with guns and sticks." Mrs. Jia suddenly realized.

Zhang Zhengdao continued her words, and then labeled Lu Junyi as "infertile" and said: "Last night I had wine with his servant Yan Xiaoyi. During the dinner, I heard him talk about it, that Lu Junyi seemed to have been...

I hurt my body, so the marriage has been delayed."

Mrs. Jia nodded and said: "That's it."

Zhang Zhengdao glanced at his god-sister Jia Shi and said with a smile: "If my aunt is choosing a husband for my sister, she must not choose such a useless person."

Mrs. Jia smiled and said: "That's natural. No matter how unbearable your sister is, she can't marry such a reckless man."

When Jia saw her mother and her brother who had suddenly appeared discussing her marriage, she felt a little shy and wanted to stop her mother, but she didn't know how to speak.

"Mom, it's getting late, we should go back." Jia had no choice but to use this excuse to get away.

Mrs. Jia stood up and said: "It's okay, don't waste Zhengdao's time, come to Cuiyun Tower to talk at Youshi."

Zhang Zhengdao also stood up to see her off and said, "I'll book a quieter cubicle later and wait for my aunt and sister to arrive."

Mrs. Jia nodded in agreement, and then with Mrs. Jia's support, she left the inn and returned home.

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Jia and her daughter, Zhang Zhengdao was meditating in the room. It seemed that Mrs. Jia had a good impression of him, but Mrs. Jia was lukewarm towards him.

However, we have recognized them as brother and sister, and we have a long time to come, so we will have the opportunity to have a happy kiss.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhengdao got up and went to Cuiyun Tower. He found Luan Tingfang and Suo Chao who were having a meal, and they also ate some food together.

After breakfast, Zhang Zhengdao booked a secluded cubicle with the waiter, then paid for the meal, and the three of them walked to Lu Junyi's house to visit.

Seeing that Suo Chao actually carried his gold-dipped ax over his shoulder, Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Brother Suo, this ax on your shoulder is a good weapon, and it is something that no ordinary person can use!"

Suo Chao replied: "This gold-dipped ax is a weapon that Suo spent a lot of money to make."

"In the past, I used the guns, knives, sticks and other things in the army, but none of them were handy. Later, others laughed at me and said that Suo was as strong as an ox and might as well use a big axe." Suo Chao waved his hand.

The gold-dipped ax scared the passers-by on both sides and they all ducked.

"That's why I made this axe." After Suo Chao explained, he said with a smile: "Suo used it very skillfully. It is rare for him to find an opponent in the Hebei Forbidden Army."

"If you are fighting on the battlefield, the ax in General Suo's hand is indeed a powerful killing weapon." Zhang Zhengdao praised.

This Suo Chao is quite brave in the battle formation. The huge ax in his hand is extremely powerful. It is indeed difficult for ordinary generals to resist.

The three of them walked two or three streets, and after walking three miles, they turned outside the gate of Lu Junyi's mansion. Suo Chao was impatient, stepped forward and slapped the door knocker, shouting: "Suo Chao, deputy commander of the left-behind department of Daming Mansion, pays a visit to Yuan Lu.

”

The porter had also heard about Suo Chao, the "vanguard" of the Forbidden Army. He immediately opened the door of the house, welcomed the three people into the ear room, and said respectfully: "You three, sit down, I will report this to my master."

Suo Chao urged: "Go quickly, don't be nagging."

The concierge quickly walked into the backyard and reported to Lu Junyi.

Last night, when Yan Qing returned home, he naturally told Lu Junyi about having a drink with Suo Chao, Zhang Zhengdao and others at Cuiyun Tower, and also told the truth about the two of them coming to visit today.

Lu Junyi has loved to practice guns and sticks since he was a child, so he has naturally heard about the bravery of Suo Chao, the second-in-command of the Beijing Left-behind Division. It was true that he refused Suo Chao's request for advice last time due to physical reasons.

This time, seeing that Suo Chao was still obsessed with him and wanted to learn his skills, Lu Junyi naturally would not refuse him again.

Hearing that Suo Chao and others had arrived at the mansion, Lu Junyi said: "Please sit in the small pavilion in the back hall and serve some tea. Don't wait too long."

Menzi said: "Young man, let's go now."

Lu Junyi also ordered the young man serving on the side to find Yan Qing, and they went to the pavilion to talk with him.

The doorman invited Zhang Zhengdao, Luan Tingfang and Suo Chao to sit in a pavilion in the back hall. He also brought some tea soup to relieve the heat and said respectfully: "Sit down, you three. My master will be here soon."
