Chapter 80 Hongmen Banquet?! (Happy New Year to everyone!)
Lu Lingqi's expression instantly betrayed her inner feelings. With just one glance, Yan immediately understood, "My daughter has grown up, and she has her own sweetheart."
Combined with her daughter's recent behavior, Yan already had a guess in her mind, "Tell me, is that person General Lu Yan?"
"Ah! Who is that?" Lu Lingqi looked at her mother in confusion, and after a while she asked again: "Mom, why did you mention Mr. Lu?"
Yan sighed and said: "Lingqi, haven't you noticed that in recent times, you have been acting like the boss when you come back? I'm afraid those with a little discernment in our house can see that, right?"
Lu Lingqi was startled by Yan's words and said, "Do I have one?"
Mrs. Yan was muttering in her heart, but there was a trace of distress on her face as she said, "Daughter, that is a Cavalry General, an extraordinary man in the world who is versatile in both civil and military affairs. Even your mother-in-law once praised him as the only such person in the world.
It’s not something we can think about.”
"Mom, what are you talking about? What do we miss about him?" Lu Lingqi was even more confused now.
"Alas..." Mrs. Yan sighed in her heart again. This Lu Lingqi usually wields swords and guns, but she doesn't look like her daughter's family at all. She still doesn't understand that she has fallen into Lu Yan's trap.
Yan gently touched Lu Lingqi's thin shoulder, forced out a smile and said, "My child, I'm afraid you have fallen in love with Lu Piaoqi."
Yan's words were like a bolt from the blue, Lu Lingqi seemed to be awakened by the words, and the feeling that had been confused in her heart finally became clear at this moment.
"I...I'm in love with...Lu Yan???" Lu Lingqi thought Yan's words were ridiculous, and she even wanted to laugh three times.
But just when Lu Lingqi opened her mouth, Lu Yan's figure flashed through her mind again. She finally felt that something was wrong with herself, "No way, I, Lu Lingqi, can really like someone?"
"Child, let's go back to Qingzhou and find a well-matched man..."
Mrs. Yan tried to persuade her again, but Lu Lingqi was about to make a few excuses when Diao Chan opened the door and walked in.
Looking at her appearance, it was obvious that she had been listening outside the door for a long time. When she heard Yan asked Lu Lingqi to give up, she finally couldn't help but push the door open and enter.
"younger sister?"
"Mom, are you here too?"
Diao Chan nodded as a greeting, then she stared into Lu Lingqi's big eyes and asked aloud: "Lingqi, do you still remember what kind of man you said you wanted to marry?"
Lu Lingqi remembered the joke she made when she was still having fun on the road of exile, and then murmured in reply: "I once said that I would marry a man who is more brave than my father. In that case, I can protect you, and he can protect you."
I..."
Diao Chan asked again: "In terms of bravery, who else in this world can surpass Wen Hou?"
"Then you still have to ask?" Lu Lingqi replied matter-of-factly: "Except for Mr., I'm afraid no one can surpass my father!"
"Since you have met him and fallen in love with him, why don't you be brave enough to seize it?"
Lu Lingqi acquiesced and remained silent. Diao Chan's words made her look at her heart and she mustered up her courage a little, but she was still hesitant in her heart, "But... sir, he..."
Ms. Yan finally couldn't stand Diao Chan's "bewitchment" any more. She said to Diao Chan: "Sister, Lu Piao is still a man of the sky, but he is still alone today.
You see, he seems to have no other pursuits besides studying, fighting, and peace in the world. Is such a person really something we can reach high?"
"No sister, in my opinion it's just the opposite."
"Huh?" Mrs. Yan looked at Diao Chan in confusion, and even thought that this sister had lost her mind and gone crazy.
"Lu Qiaoqi once came from an ordinary family, not even a humble one. Now under Cao Cao, he has always advocated suppressing famous families and seeking promotions for ordinary people and poor people. He does not have the arrogance of the children of famous families.
.”
"But just because it doesn't happen now, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future!"
Diao Chan shook her head and said, "Sister, you have never been in contact with him and don't understand his temperament. Lingqi, please tell me."
Lu Lingqi thought about it carefully and concluded: "Mr. has no airs in life. He can talk and laugh even with a clerk who is running errands. I once saw him squatting on the ridge of a field chatting with an old farmer for most of the time.
Hours...from beginning to end, his character never changed."
"But he has a bright future after all." What Yan meant was that Lu Yan would eventually become a famous person, created by himself. He sighed, and before Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi could speak again, Yan quickly ended the argument and said: "
That’s all, just let it happen.”
Seeing that Diao Chan had "persuaded" Mrs. Yan, she then smiled and took Lu Lingqi's hand and said: "Lu Yan has never taken a wife or concubine, and I have never heard of any girl he has fallen in love with. You have to ask about this first."
Just be clear."
"?" Lu Lingqi said she didn't understand.
Diao Chan did not explain much and continued to say with a smile: "Today we can just use the excuse to thank Lu Qiaoqi for taking care of him and invite him to the banquet. Lingqi, please be mentally prepared first."
"???"
...
In the residence of Lu Bu's family, sumptuous dishes were placed for everyone in the small reception hall.
Cheng Lian did not go to the banquet, but stood outside the hall door. He was considered a guard and a monitor. If not for his presence, Lu Yan would definitely not be able to enter their house, let alone go to the banquet.
During the thank-you banquet, everyone first talked about some daily trivial matters. When the atmosphere was almost settled, Diao Chan was ready to get down to business.
At this moment, Diao Chan was sitting upright on her knees, her body bent in an astonishing arc.
She raised her glass and toasted to Lu Yan: "With the help of General Hussar, we have not only had enough food and clothing over the years, but we have even saved a lot of money..."
Lu Yan chuckled, raised his glass and said in reply: "Marquis Wen and I hit it off right away, Madam, there is no need to be polite."
"Lu Qiaoqi, I have doubts and I wonder if I can ask?" Diao Chan asked with a rare smile.
"It's okay, madam." Lu Yan replied nonchalantly, but he joked in his heart: "Is this because I can't bear to invest in Chenliu? Yes, after all, I have tens of thousands of dollars in dividend income every month!"
"Lu Qiaoqi has entered his thirties now, right?"
This question made Lu Yan a little unexpected, and made Lu Yan feel a little dazed, and then he sighed with emotion, "Yes, I am already over thirty years old before I know it..."
"I wonder why Lu Qiaoqi is not married yet?" Yan blurted out, even more anxious than Diao Chan.
"Huh?" Lu Yan was surprised as to why Mr. Yan wanted to ask about his personal affairs, but Lao Cao and the people around him had asked about this several times, so he had nothing to be embarrassed about.
Lu Yan put down his chopsticks and suppressed the smile on his lips.
"The world is uncertain, why should we call home?"
When he said this, Lu Yan looked extremely solemn, and there was a faint holy white light emanating from his body.
"Sir..." Lu Lingqi looked a little crazy for a moment.
