Lu Yao entered his room as if he was running away. After entering the door, he heard the sound of the door closing, and then the sound of shrapnel in the lock.
He found that he was locked in the room.
Then Uncle Fu's voice came from outside the door, "Erlang, please stay in the room peacefully for the night, and I will help you unlock the door tomorrow morning."
At this time, Lu Yao discovered that all the accessible doors and windows in the room were sealed by thick door panels, which could not be pushed no matter how hard they were pushed.
Lu Yaosheng lay down on the bed helplessly.
The next morning.
Lu Yao walked out of the room with a pair of panda eyes. When he saw the thickened doors and windows outside the window, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Mrs. Lu had already prepared the gifts for Han Mansion, and she was about to come to break off the engagement just after the protagonist finished eating.
Lu Yao drank a few mouthfuls of white porridge indiscriminately, and with the support of his servants, he walked out of Lu Mansion without energy.
Not far out of the Lu Mansion, I heard passers-by talking about it: "You could hear the scream from the Lu Mansion last night."
Another passerby echoed: "Don't mention how miserable it is, I'm so scared just thinking about it now."
Lu Yao held his trembling left hand and shouted at the two people: "Why are you chewing on your ears? If you don't go to work quickly, you won't have to support your wife and children."
The Han Mansion is very close to the Lu Mansion, only separated by a street. They are both officials who are going to court, and they live not far from the imperial city.
The servants of Han Mansion saw Lu Mansion's huge team carrying gifts from a distance, dropped their brooms and ran towards the mansion.
While running, he shouted, "Someone from the Lu family is here, someone from the Lu family is here."
When Han Shangshu's wife, Mrs. Yu, heard the shouting, her eyebrows were lowered and her heart was full of mixed feelings. She tightly held the hands of the girl next to her and said guiltily: "Yunyu, it's my mother and father who are sorry for you.
I didn’t expect that boy to come back alive.”
The 28-year-old girl's eyes were red and she was about to cry, which made people feel heartbroken. She looked like one of the rare beauties in Kaifeng.
But she did not cry. Instead, she comforted her mother, "I will never embarrass my parents. Uncle and Aunt Lu will be very good to their daughter."
"The Lu family are nice people, but this Erlang of his family, hey..." Mrs. Yu touched her eyes a few times, "I won't say it anymore. Your father said it first. Even if we regret it now, we still can't.
In the end, I was wronged, but I have wronged you, Yunyu."
Then I heard someone outside shouting: "Mrs. Lu is coming in."
"Mom, it's time to go out." Mrs. Yu stood up and put down Han Yunyu's hands, straightened her appearance, showed a happy smile, and hurried out of the door.
Han Yunyu looked at Yu's back for a long time. She knew that today's meeting between the Han and Lu families would determine her life-long events.
Lu Yao and Mrs. Lu stepped into Han Mansion.
The Han Mansion looks larger than the Lu Mansion, but it is also very small. Do these officials feel aggrieved by living in such a small house to be close to the imperial city?
Suddenly he saw a beautiful woman walking towards them.
"Why did Sister Yan come to my door today? I heard the magpies chirping this morning, and I knew something good was going to happen today." When Mrs. Yu came up, she took Mrs. Lu's hand and held Yan's hand. The relationship seemed very unharmonious.
Mrs. Lu laughed awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed to see others.
Lu Yao touched his nose and felt that this woman who was not going to be his mother-in-law was too good at talking. Is it worth a magpie's visit to break off the engagement?
Little did they know that Lu Yao's coming to break off the engagement was a great joy for the Han family.
Mrs. Yu saw the arrival of the rich gifts carried by the servants of the Lu family, and her eyes showed a brief sadness. Finally, she raised a smile and said: "You and I have such a close relationship, why are you bringing so many gifts? This is a bit extravagant! "
Seeing Mrs. Yu's fleeting expression, Mrs. Lu understood in her heart that the Han family also regretted the engagement, and felt that breaking off the engagement would be a good idea. Then she nodded and said with a smile: "It's right to bring gifts, and you can't be rude at all." point."
"Sister Yan can speak, so as a sister, I accepted these gifts."
Mrs. Yu turned to the housekeeper of the Han family and said, "Take Erlang and sit in the hall. Mrs. Lu and I will go to the backyard to have a few words."
Mrs. Yu pulled Mrs. Lu towards the backyard, while Lu Yao was brought to the living room by the housekeeper of the Han family.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a man in white scholar's clothes standing in the middle of the lobby, looking at him with a smile on his face.
So young? He doesn’t look like Uncle Han! Could it be that Uncle Han is well-equipped?
Seeing Lu Yao's surprised look, the housekeeper of the Han family introduced him: "This is my eldest son, whose name is Wenyuan. Like the eldest son of the Lu family, he was transferred to Beijing this year. It's normal that the second son doesn't know him."
"This..." He didn't know how to call the eldest son of the Han family. Should he call him Young Master Han? He was a bit unfamiliar. He couldn't just call him eldest brother!
Seeing Lu Yao's embarrassment, Han Wenyuan smiled and said, "Your elder brother and I have a close relationship. Just call me Brother Han."
"Brother Han." Lu Yao bowed to Han Wenyuan and saluted.
Han Wenyuan returned the salute and then said: "I'm afraid mother and Aunt Lu will have to talk for a while. I wonder if Erlang can play chess."
"Play chess?" Of course Lu Yao was not very good at it, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
"Then how about we hold hands and talk?"
Lu Yao could only agree.
Not long after, the servants of Han Mansion prepared the chessboard and chess pieces.
Lu Yao suddenly remembered something, and when others were not paying attention, he took out his mobile phone from his arms and placed it between his thighs.
Then he opened the stand-alone version of the Go game he had downloaded before. He took a deep look at Han Wenyuan and felt that this person must be very good at chess, so he chose the difficulty level of the game to hell level.
"Erlang please go first."
Lu Yao took the lead with black and placed the chess piece on the center point.
Han Wenyuan glanced at Lu Yao in surprise. Most people would not place their chess pieces at this point.
Either he doesn't know how to do it at all, or he is a super master.
This move made Han Wenyuan unable to see through it.
However, he did not delay his move. After a few dozen moves, the chess game was still very peaceful, but the situation was somewhat closer to Lu Yao's.
Han Wenyuan noticed that Lu Yao often looked down, so he asked, "Why does Erlang always look down?"
Lu Yao pretended to be calm and coughed, "I hurt my calf last night and it's a little painful."
Han Wenyuan nodded and believed what he said.
Did he believe it? Did he really believe it? These ancient people were a little too easy to deceive.
In order to live up to Han Wenyuan's trust, Lu Yao decided to increase the difficulty of the game to another level, King level.
After a hundred moves, Han Wenyuan held up a white piece and couldn't place it for a long time.
Lu Yao didn't understand the chess game, so he couldn't understand it, but what Han Wenyuan saw was Heizi's dragon-slaying power. His next move was a crucial one. If he made a mistake, the whole game would be lost.
Cold sweat dripped from Han Wenyuan's forehead. He had made several moves in his mind, but in the end he was defeated by Heizi's offensive.
He really couldn't do this.
Suddenly, the housekeeper of Han Mansion came to Han Wenyuan and said a few words. He glanced at Lu Yao, stood up and left, "This kind of thing is not my decision. I will go back to my father's house to find him."
Lu Yao looked at the chess pieces on the board and said with disdain in his heart: "If you can't beat me, just admit defeat. As for going to Han Shangshu in such a big way."
Just when Lu Yao was proud, he suddenly heard the sound of the screen closing, and then his phone could no longer be turned on.
out of battery?
This time it was Lu Yao's turn to wipe away the cold sweat. Fortunately, Han Wen was far away, otherwise he would have exposed his secret.
"If I had known better, I would have taken the solar power bank with me in the car." Lu Yao complained softly.
Hearing the footsteps outside the lobby, he hurriedly put the phone in his arms.
Two servants came, and the two men immediately removed the tea and preserved fruits from Lu Yao's side.
Only then did Lu Yao realize that it was Mrs. Lu who successfully broke off the engagement, otherwise the servants of the Han family would not have treated him like this, and Han Wenyuan would not have left in a hurry.
What can we do now? We can only wait for Han Shangshu to come back.
But after waiting and waiting, nothing came. Just when he was in a daze, he heard a loud shout: "Where is Erlang of the Lu family?"
Lu Yao woke up instantly and turned around to see an old man looking at him angrily.
The person who came was none other than Han Yunyu's father, Han Yonghe, the Minister of Rites.
After the court today, he was discussing matters with his officials, but he saw his son Han Wenyuan rushing over.
After hearing the news that Han Wenyuan was breaking off their engagement, I felt a mixture of sadness and joy.
Why should I go to class after such a big incident happened?
He skipped work and went home, leaving behind a bunch of stunned officials and saying, "We'll discuss it when I get back." Then he and Han Wenyuan ran out of the Ministry of Rites.
I am happy because Lu Yaolai broke off the engagement, but I am sad because Lu Yaolai broke off the engagement.
Breaking off the engagement will do great damage to the reputation of a girl who has not yet left the court. There must be rumors that a woman who even Lu Yao dislikes will not be a good woman.
No matter whether he is happy or sad, Han Yonghe will vent this matter on Lu Yao's head.
Lu Yao has been completely mentally prepared. Anyway, he is not afraid of boiling water. I don't care how you scold me. Anyway, I...cancel...fix...the marriage.
"Uncle Han, the boy is here." Lu Yao stood up and saluted Han Yonghe.
"You still have the nerve to call me Uncle Han. Do you still take me as your uncle seriously? Can you withdraw from this marriage if you want to?" Han Yonghe became more and more angry as he spoke. If Lu Yao was his son, he would
I will definitely beat him to death without any hesitation.
He had already figured it out, even if he regretted it in the future, he could not let the Lu family cancel the marriage, otherwise how would Han Yonghe be able to gain a foothold in the court.
"It is because of my respect for Uncle Han that I came to break off the engagement. The boy knows what kind of person he is. He is absolutely unworthy of a lady like Ling Ai, and he cannot let her suffer along with the boy." Lu Yaoyi said.
He said with an upright face.
Han Yonghe, who was originally angry, suddenly became silent. He had already risen to such a high level of moral character. Erlang of the Lu family broke off the engagement in order to protect the Han family and for the lifelong happiness of his daughter.
What to do?
I was thinking of a lot of curse words on the way, but now I don't have any words to say.
Han Yonghe looked at his son with a dull expression and seemed to have no choice but to give him any advice.
Han Wenyuan was also very angry at first, but after Lu Yao's words came out, he immediately felt that he was a good person, and even he could not do it even if he was willing to sacrifice himself for others.
The lobby of Han Mansion fell into deathly silence for a long time.
