Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Chapter 53: Arranging a marriage, maid Hongwan

Now that you are married and have children, you don’t have the energy to take care of them. Aren’t you leaving yourself with weaknesses and excuses?
  He accidentally turned into a dragster. He was walking on thin ice and couldn't take care of himself. If it wasn't a big help and it didn't help him, there was actually no need to get married. After all, in other aspects, having a maid was enough.

I have to find a way to deal with it and frustrate my mother.

Lu Mingyuan shook his head, abandoned what he was thinking, and asked tentatively: "Is it true that anyone can do it?"

Wang Zhaoyan patted her chest and said: "In this imperial capital, no matter how you say it, my Wang family is also a prominent family. The situation is even more so when the Xie family and the Cui family fall. Who doesn't give my Wang family a little face to marry into the royal family and become a relative of the emperor?" , that is a great blessing.”

As soon as he said this, the maid in red beside him looked slightly unnatural.

Lu Mingyuan was responsible for "knowing people", so he could clearly see these small movements, but why was she reacting so loudly?
  He didn't think much and continued to ask:

"What if my son wants to marry Qi Muxue?"

Grandpa had told him before that it would be great if he could win over the Qi family. Qi Xingyan was a great Confucian, and his ancestors were Confucian saints. They had been officials for almost generations and had high prestige. Qi Muxue was the root of the problem. A descendant of Miao Hong, a Confucian sage.

Hearing this name, Wang Zhaoyan's smile faltered slightly.

"Yuan'er, it's not good for you to choose anyone, so why did you choose her?"

Lu Mingyuan frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Wang Zhaoyan explained earnestly: "Look, Qi Muxue is the most talented woman in the Imperial Capital. There are countless students and competitors around her who are pursuing her talents. Moreover, such a woman is very polite on the surface and treats others with kindness, but in her heart She is extremely demanding and arrogant, and few people can catch her eye."

"To put it bluntly, it's too difficult. She is the most talented woman in the imperial capital, and you are the most dandy in the capital. You are from the wrong family and have the wrong household."

"Yuan'er, please change it."

When Lu Mingyuan heard this, he probably knew in his heart that his mother was worried about the scholar's verbal criticism.

One scholar may not be a threat, but a group of scholars can ruin the reputation of a family or a person.

In this case, I couldn't do my best, so I simply gave up my mother's idea.

If something is impossible, make it even more difficult.

Lu Mingyuan pretended to be angry, his expression changed, and he crossed his arms and said, "Why are you from the wrong family? Is it possible that my mother also thinks that the child is not good enough for her? The child likes this kind of woman with a big heart."

"How could it be? My son is the best."

Wang Zhaoyan forced a smile and said comfortingly.

"But, there is so much talent and talent in the world, why hang yourself from a tree, right?"

Lu Mingyuan used "Knowing People" to see the reluctance in his mother's eyes, and his acting skills suddenly exploded, and his voice became louder.

"Absolutely not!"

He sounded serious and swore to the sky: "Today, I, Lu Mingyuan, swear that I will not marry anyone other than Qi Muxue."

As soon as these words were said, not only Wang Zhaoyan's expression changed, but the expressions of several maids around her, including Ziyun, also changed.

"Why does Yuan'er love Qi Muxue so much?" Wang Zhaoyan asked curiously.

Lu Mingyuan thought for a while and replied: "During the palace change, the situation was chaotic. It was Miss Qi who saved me in the palace. Is this reason enough?"

"All right."

Wang Zhaoyan was speechless, clasping her slender fingers, looking a little troubled, as if she was thinking of something.

Seeing her like this, Lu Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not easy for Yuan'er to find someone he likes. Even if she exhausts her energy, she will still find a way."

Whether she had thought of it or not, Wang Zhaoyan stood up and said with a smile on her face.

"Let's wait for news from mother. In addition, just keep these maids. There should be no problem in serving you. There is also a Qi practitioner among them who has good cultivation and can act as another guard for you."

"With mother's arrangements, the child can rest assured."

Lu Mingyuan also nodded, but deep down he didn't think his mother could convince Qi Muxue or even Qi Xingyan.

"It's getting late, I'll see my mother off."

He held Wang Zhaoyan's arm and walked toward the door. As he walked, he whispered in her ear:

"Who is this maid? Why does her face look so cold compared to the others?"

He looked at the maid in red.

Wang Zhaoyan's eyes showed a playful smile and hissed: "This girl is the second young lady of the Xie family, Xie Wanqiu. Originally, the Xie family was in decline and three generations were beheaded. She was also going to be sent to the Jiaofang Department to act as a dancer and become an official prostitute. , for people's entertainment. Fortunately, your mother fell in love with her when she was buying the Xie family's property, and bought her out to be your maid."

Lu Mingyuan was surprised when he heard this: "Is it the Xie family with the fifth surname and Qiwang?"

"Exactly. This is her soul and spirit contract. Keep it well and just use her. The slave documents are kept with mother and I won't give them to you."

After saying that, Wang Zhaoyan handed Lu Mingyuan a piece of soul jade.

Lu Mingyuan also knew this thing.

In the great flames, not only mortals can be slaves, but monks can also be slaves. The difference from mortals is that a ray of soul will be extracted from monks as slaves, a divine soul bond will be imposed on them, and it will be warmed and nourished in the soul jade to prevent it from being devoured. host.

"Why don't you come over and see His Highness?"

Wang Zhaoyan scolded those palace ladies sternly. Her good voice and anger were only towards Lu Mingyuan. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have a good look at all.

In the harem, honest and good people will only be bullied. Only those who are ruthless and capable enough can live a long life.

"My servant Hongwan has met His Highness."

The maid in red took a step forward and bowed.

Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but look at the other person. He was not young, no more than twenty-six or seventeen years old. He was tall and thin, with long and straight legs. He had green embroidered shoes on his feet and a double bun on his head. He looked extremely delicate.

Especially the pair of watery peach blossom eyes are eye-catching, and there is a tear mole under the slightly raised eye corner.

She wears a cherry red dress, simple and clean, has an oval face like white tofu, has a delicate but not charming temperament, and the bulge at the skirt is not small.

"From now on, you must listen carefully to the words of the Sixth Prince, do you understand?"

"I understand, Your Majesty."

The women said in unison, their voices seemed very soft and delicate.

Lu Mingyuan watched his mother disappear from sight before focusing on Hong Wan.

"Since you can be chosen to be my guard, your cultivation level should be quite high, right?"

Hongwan respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, this slave is currently at the sixth level of Taoism and possesses magical powers."

There was a slight hoarseness and deepness to her voice when she spoke, and the tone was clearly that of a royal sister.

Lu Mingyuan nodded lightly and thought: "In my Dayan Dynasty, there have always been mostly martial artists and few qi practitioners. However, most of the monks who have cultivated to the middle fifth and upper third levels are qi practitioners. Can you break through to the sixth realm?" , which is enough to show talent.”

Martial arts practitioners train their bodies, Buddhism and Confucianism train their minds, and Qi practitioners train their spirits, which has its own wonders. At the middle fifth level, Qi practitioners have greater advantages.

As for who is stronger, it's really hard to say.

After all, each family feels that it is the strongest.

The Confucianism cultivator said that the martial artist had a simple mind and well-developed limbs, and only knew how to fight and kill. The martial arts cultivator said that most of the Confucianism cultivators were nerds and could only talk about big principles.

Most Qi practitioners have their eyes set high above their heads and think that everyone present is trash and not as good as a Taoist sect.

The Buddhist cultivator just looked at them silently and recited Amitabha, why not take refuge in my Buddha?

This is generally the case.

From a process perspective, it is easy to get started as a martial artist in the early stage, but it is difficult to improve, and it is difficult for a Qi practitioner to establish a foundation, but after the Tao foundation is completed, the practice will make rapid progress.

Seeing that Wang Zhaoyan was gone, Hong Wan dared to look up and take a look at the rumored number one dandy in the capital, a man who left legends in every brothel.

So handsome.

She couldn't help but be stunned, and the first thought in her heart was actually this.

Seeing that she dared to take the initiative to look up at him, Lu Mingyuan activated "Recognize People" and generally saw that this woman had many thoughts, much more complicated than Ziyun. After all, she was the second young lady of the Xie family, not as innocent as Ziyun.

When Ziyun first came here, she didn't even dare to look at herself, and she felt very inferior.

"Where's your sister?"

Lu Mingyuan suddenly remembered that since she was the second young lady, she must have an eldest sister. If her mother wanted to buy something, she would also buy a pair of sisters, so how could she just buy one.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, a flash of hatred appeared in Hongwan's eyes.

"died."

"died?"

Lu Mingyuan's face was very surprised.

Hongwan nodded, her eyes were slightly red, and she said sadly: "Yes, my sister's name is Xie Wanchun. She was insulted and died in the Jiaofang Division seven days ago. After my Xie family was raided, the dignitaries targeted her. Fortunately, Only with the help of the imperial concubine can this slave escape from the sea of ​​misery, otherwise he will end up with the same fate."

Lu Mingyuan sighed and said with emotion: "It's a pity that another beauty has passed away."

Seeing Hongwan's surprised expression, Lu Mingyuan chuckled and explained:

"As a person like me, I can't stand to see a woman feel sad and happy."

"There is ample time."

Hongwan regained her composure and nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your comfort."

"Green Fate - Observe Moments and Colors, the refining degree increases by 35%"

Looking at the words that appeared in front of him, Lu Mingyuan raised his eyebrows.

I've been using this "knowledge of people" a lot these days, and it only increased by 15% in total.

That's all, take your time.

Start practicing martial arts now.
