This does not include the accompanying soldiers of the Forbidden Army, who were not delivering orders, but almost following the orders of Concubine Yun, escorting Li Luo to see people. Li Luo was helpless and had no choice but to hold his nose and run away.
Huijui Building in the west of the city is the place where the head of the Shu family, Shu Wuyan, settles.
Li Luo raised his head and glanced at the inn's plaque. The eye-catching gold-lettered signboard, Li Luo secretly slandered, what a tacky name. Needless to say, this restaurant is probably the facade of a wealthy family.
Shu Wuyan has a nickname. People in the government and the public say that if you make progress, you will never return. It makes people feel bad when they hear it. I don’t know what Concubine Yun and Emperor Wanlong were thinking. They chose from thousands of choices and found such a one for Li Luo.
No wonder Li Luo was so resistant to marriage matters. In comparison, Rang Si Baoyin, who was about to follow Li Luo to Qiminglou with a small burden on his back, was more pleasing to the eye.
Slander is slander, and there should be some etiquette. Even if Li Luo didn't want it in every possible way, it was hard to say anything now. He calmed down and paid a visit with the courtesy of a junior. But thinking about the rumors, he had a big belly.
, greedy for money and lustful appearance, Li Luo was really impatient, so he made a conscious effort to leave early and come back early.
There were no foreign guests in the restaurant today. When they entered the restaurant, there were several people waiting for Li Luo in the hall. There were not many people, only four of them. One of them, Li Luo recognized, was the blind man who had bid for Zhuocheng's underground business earlier.
Zhijie, and standing in front of him was a middle-aged man, wearing a plain blue shirt, with a scholar's knot on his head, with sword eyebrows flying sideways, and five strands of beard and temples fluttering out of the dust, which could not hide his aura of elegance.
The Qi is shaped like a green pine and a green bamboo, making him a handsome and gentlemanly figure.
Li Luo was slightly startled. The four people in the hall were looking at each other. According to what he saw in front of him, this middle-aged man in blue shirt should be the real owner here. However, at a glance, his appearance was completely different from the rumored appearance.
The middle-aged man didn't let Li Luo guess for long. He took a step forward and said loudly: "The common people have never tired of cleaning up and have seen the prince."
Li Luo took a breath. This was a bit unexpected. As expected, these mountain rumors cannot be believed. Li Luocheng returned the salute and said harmoniously: "Junior Li Luo, please pay your respects to Mr. Shu."
Everyone in the hall was smiling. The father-in-law looked like he had seen his son-in-law before. He was even more rigid and restrained than the teachers and students in the academy.
Shu Wuyan looked at Li Luo with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant. He did not feel the joy of climbing a dragon or the phoenix, nor did he feel the fear of seeing His Highness. It had a bit of a scrutinizing look, which made Li Luo very uncomfortable. It would not be surprising, if he was confused.
Marrying a daughter is ridiculous.
"He is Shu Zhijie, the seventh brother of Cao Min. He met the prince earlier." Shu Zhijie bowed, thinking of Li Luo's life-saving grace, showing great respect.
Li Luo returned the salute without any arrogance and treated others like a spring breeze, making Shu Wuyan nod secretly.
"Quanzi Shuxiang is Chen Yu's eldest brother." Li Luo looked at the handsome man who looked very similar to Shu Chenyu and greeted Yan. The man also smiled and bowed. He was clear and handsome. He didn't have a philistine atmosphere, but had a faint smell of books.
It's just that her appearance is slightly more feminine.
"Bai Yujing, a clan guest, is a tribute to our Shu family and can be regarded as a protector of the common people." Li Luo glanced at the tall white-bearded old man, nodded, then looked at the gentle and elegant Shu Wuyan, and laughed: "
Does a master like Mr. Shu also need a protector?"
When they first met, Shu Wuyan had a restrained look in his eyes and a profound aura. He was a master of the inner circle and had high attainments, which surprised Li Luo. What he had seen the other day, Shu Chenyu was soft and weak, and did not know any martial arts.
appearance.
Shu Wuyan laughed at himself and said: "My family has a lot of money, so I have to guard against Xiao Xiao's worries. There is nothing I can do about it. Please sit down and talk, Your Majesty."
Everyone sat down. This was the lobby of a restaurant, so there was no need to pay attention to the order of host and guest. However, Li Luo still waited for Shu Wuyan to sit down before sitting down, and performed the courtesy of a junior. It was natural and not artificial, which made everyone in the Shu family feel good.
increase.
After sitting down, Li Luo sighed: "Mr. Shu is very different from what I thought."
Shu Wuyan smiled and said with a smile: "Maybe there is a little bit of copper odor missing, but please be at ease, Your Majesty, I am sure that my talent is genuine and it is definitely not someone else's impersonation."
Shu Wuyan's words were humorous, and Li Luo smiled softly. He was less unfamiliar and more comfortable. After all, he was a member of the same family.
Li Luo looked around and saw no female relatives in the hall, so he asked casually: "Didn't Ling Zheng come to Zhuocheng?"
Shu Wuyan looked embarrassed, looked at Shu Zhijie with a wry smile, and sighed: "Zhuo Jing is angry, and he is so angry that he doesn't want to come to Baidi City. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Li Luo was stunned for a moment. This future cheap father-in-law was so upright and upright that Li Luo felt a little ashamed. You must know that if Shu Chenyu's mother didn't come to the palace to welcome the bride, and if someone secretly caused mischief, it would be a crime of contempt for the emperor's power. It's not a big deal.
Small, but still very disgusting.
Li Luo didn't feel it was rude. He was so angry that he could probably make a good guess. After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shu, you may know the ins and outs of this marriage. Miss Shu probably just got it by chance. No.
We are a perfect match. After all, Xi Chenyu came from your wealthy family. If she enters my house, I have failed her. However, I can only allow her to have enough food and clothing. No one will bully her. But for other things, I really feel ashamed.
Heart, so if anything happens to the Shu family, as long as it does not violate the law and morality, Qi Minglou will not refuse."
Shu Wuyan looked at Li Luo, who looked calm and apologetic, and was slightly surprised, but it was precisely this look that matched the things in the rumors.
"Is it too early for Your Majesty to say these things?" Shu Wuyan did not feel that Li Luo was arrogant and said with a kind smile.
Li Luo thought for a while and replied frankly: "It's not too early, whether it's Miss Shu or someone else, you have to marry, no matter whether the person you marry is a lady from a wealthy family, a daughter of a wealthy family, or a jade girl from a small family, who is in Qi Minglou
The difference is not big, to put it mildly, I just don’t mean it. The world is in trouble. After this, I am afraid that Mr. Shu will have something to do, but I will not be free, so it is better to say this earlier, so I will briefly explain it.
A feeling of debt."
Shu Wuyan remained silent, unless he was ruthless and unrighteous, otherwise no matter how rich the city was, when he heard that his daughter was being treated as an extra, the Clay Bodhisattva would also burst into flames.
"Is the imperial court interested in that Caohai girl, or is the prince interested in that Caohai girl?" Shu Wuyan asked in a deep voice.
Li Luo thought for a moment and understood the meaning of Shu Wuyan's words, and replied with a straight face: "Except for the difference in name and identity, there is absolutely no difference between Miss Shu and the elegant Rangsi girl in Qiminglou."
"That's good, I would like to thank the prince in advance." Shu Wuyan sighed and said sadly, "The prince is honest, but the Shu family has something unspeakable. I just ask the prince to treat Chen Yu kindly."
