"Finally it's done." Lu Yao couldn't help but think as he watched his father Lu Xu talking to Han Yonghe and Cao Guojiu.
On Lu Xu's side, he also had some exchanges with Han Yonghe and Cao Guojiu. He did not ask Han Yonghe and Cao Guojiu what method his son used to persuade them, because now the deal is done, and he will go
It is meaningless to ask about these things. Therefore, Lu Xu also went straight to the point. In this engagement, those who were most hurt and aggrieved were naturally Cao Guoshu and Cao Han. For Cao Han, Lu Xu felt natural
Lu Yao will solve it. Of course, after they get married, how Lu Yao handles the affairs of his family has nothing to do with him. He just needs to appease Uncle Cao Guo's emotions. Moreover, Lu Xu comes in
Later, when I saw Han Yonghe's expression, it was obviously saying that even if he, Han Yonghe, agreed to the marriage, in fact, the Han family would not suffer much loss. In this case, Han Yonghe's feelings seemed to be the same.
No need to worry too much about it.
Uncle Cao Guo's idea is actually very simple, that is, not to go sideways, and all betrothal gifts and dowries must be in line with the Han family. In fact, the matters related to the betrothal gifts and dowries of Han Yunyu and Lu Yao have always been the responsibility of Lu Yao's mother Yan.
He was in contact with Han Yonghe's son Han Wenyuan. So Cao Guojiu also called Cao Ping. After explaining it, the purpose was to have exactly the same specifications as the Han family. So Lu Xu simply made an appointment for
Cao Ping and Han Wenyuan both went to the Lu family to get together. In this way, it will be very clear what the Han family's standards are and what the Cao family has to prepare. When the time comes, they will be drawn up directly according to the Han family's standards.
That’s it.
Cao Ping originally thought that if he messed up today's martial arts competition, Cao Guojiu would be angry with him. In fact, thinking about it carefully, Cao Ping may be the most wronged person. He has worked hard for this, and this is his first time.
Although organizing such a large competition alone is not as good as Lu Yao's new Cuju competition, in terms of Cao Ping's ability, Lu Yao felt that his ability to organize this competition was already extraordinary. If not
If Lu Yao formed a team to disrupt the situation, today's arena match should be very successful.
Cao Guojiu naturally knows what level his son is. No one wants to see today's game end up like this. Cao Ping is not solely responsible for this. Therefore, he also saw that Cao Ping was responsible for this.
Therefore, in the end, Cao Guojiu did not leave it to Cao Yu to make arrangements for the upcoming wedding, but asked Cao Ping to handle it. Of course, Cao Guojiu also knew that Cao Guojiu had always been the best.
Cao You, who cares about his sister, cannot ignore the wedding. In fact, it is just Cao Ping doing the work, and Cao You taking care of it, so that the final result will definitely be good.
When Cao Ping heard his father's arrangement, he immediately agreed and made an appointment with Han Yonghe and Lu Xu on the spot to go to the Lu Mansion. However, because of Lu Yao's sudden participation, this time the martial arts competition was not successful.
It was a happy ending, and whatever hatred Cao Ping had for Lu Yao disappeared with Cao Guoshu's decision. After all, the two families were about to become in-laws, so naturally they couldn't make the relationship too tense.
After making this arrangement, Uncle Cao Guo was actually still not at ease. After all, Cao Han was married as a concubine. Although Lu Xu and Han Yonghe had promised that they would not let him go astray, and in addition,
Cao Han would not be wronged during the wedding, but his words were unfounded. Afterwards, Cao Guojiu directly asked someone to get paper and pen, and wrote down the engagement contract, including his own requirements, as well as those of Lu Xu and Han.
The conditions Yonghe agreed to were all written on it.
Han Yonghe and Lu Xu didn't care. Since they had already agreed and the marriage was finalized, they happily signed the engagement contract. Naturally, Lu Yao was also the one who signed.
The elders were discussing the wedding. As for Lu Yao, Cao Han was a woman after all. Although Cao Ping had dismissed some people who came to watch the game, there were still many officials staying at the scene, waiting.
This was the final result. Therefore, it was really not good for a little girl to show up in public like this. So, after briefly saying a few words to Lu Yao, she was taken back by the housekeeper.
This time, Cao Han didn't look reluctant to leave. After all, she knew that there would be many opportunities to talk to Lu Yao in the future.
Then Lu Yao followed Cao Yu
Chatted.
"You can watch the whole game from above," Lu Yao said.
Cao You nodded. He thought Lu Yao meant this to praise Lu Yao, but after thinking about it carefully, Lu Yao was not that kind of person, so he didn't answer.
Lu Yao continued: "Except for Fu Shaolong's two teams, among the other thirty contestants, have you found anyone with good kung fu?"
Upon hearing this, Cao You thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed a few of them. If it weren't for the melee and the factors of this team, they actually have a chance to compete with Fu Shaolong and you.
, my brother has done some research in kung fu, and among the contestants invited, all of them have some proven kung fu, otherwise it would look too fake, right?"
Lu Yao smiled slightly, looked at Cao Ping who was still talking to several elders, then turned his eyes back to Cao You and said, "He will definitely be able to find these people, please do me a favor."
"Why, do you want to recruit them to your bank? Or are you a wine fairy?" Cao You said.
Lu Yao shook his head. Even Cao You didn't know that he was going to open a martial arts gym. Then Lu Yao said: "Actually, I am preparing a new business. This business needs some people with good skills to support the scene. In the early stage, I need
Employ people."
Cao You looked at Lu Yao and understood Lu Yao's intention instantly. After all, Cao You had watched Lu Yao's training from the sidelines, and he was very clear about Jintai and Fangzhuang's kung fu, so Cao You
Yui said: "You want to write articles about martial arts, right?"
"Yes, it's already under preparation, but there are a lot of things going on recently, including this new Cuju competition and the imperial examination. I plan to wait until these things and my marriage are finished, and then this business can be started.
.There was someone in my team who followed Li Cheng and the others just now. He probably went to do this. I’m afraid he’s either drinking wine or drinking heavily at Pan Wen’s place. It would be better if we could get Li Cheng here.
Already."
Cao You said with a smile: "Okay, I promise you, you have taken care of the wedding. I can still help with this little help. When the competition ends tomorrow, I will ask Cao Ping to master those skills in two days."
All the people are here. It just so happens that he is going to your house to discuss the wedding in a while. I just asked him to bring those people there so that you can take a look."
Lu Yao nodded. The reason why he didn't go to Cao Ping directly was because he felt a little regretful. After all, he had ruined the situation today, not to mention that Cao Ping was an out-and-out gentle man.
It was impossible for him not to blame himself at all.
After explaining the matter to Cao You, Lu Yao had no intention of waiting for Lu Xu to leave together. In the game just now, although Lu Yao won in the end, his injuries were not much less than Fu Shaolong's.
Especially the last punch. Even though he knocked Fu Shaolong out, Fu Shaolong's last punch still left a deep impression on Lu Yao. Now he still feels pain in his chest.
It's a pity that such a guy with great kung fu and Fu Bi's son would pass away so early. Lu Yao sighed in his heart, and because of this, Lu Yao had no intention of telling Fu Shaolong about the martial arts school.
People who practice martial arts will always get injured. For Lu Yao, who already knows the fate of Fu Shaolong, it would be better for him to be a mediocre official.
So, Lu Yao simply told Lu Xu and the others a few words, and then left the courtyard with his men.
This should be a happy ending for everyone. Looking at Lu Yao's leaving figure, Fu Shaolong felt that this person was incredible. He didn't care about the so-called rules and acted eclectically, but he also had something that everyone admired.
In terms of strength, if the Song Dynasty had more people like Lu Yao, it would have developed better.
"Sir, where are we going?"
"It goes without saying that I must go to the Wine Fairy to celebrate."
As soon as they walked out of the door, Xiaopang, Lao Ma, and Fangzhuang started arguing.
"Little Fatty, Lao Ma, you two go to Jiuzhongxian Bar and ask for a hot pot from the shopkeeper. Fangzhuang, you can take me home first, I need to rest for a while."
Just as Lu Yao was saying this, he felt a sweetness in his throat. A mouthful of blood
Vomited it out. Obviously, this was caused by Fu Shaolong.
Seeing Lu Yao like this, everyone was in no mood to celebrate, and without caring about anything else, they directly helped Lu Yao into the carriage and drove back home.
Tangxi is actually the most anxious person at this time. He is waiting at his house. Because of Lu Yao's identity, he cannot accompany Lu Yao to participate in the marriage contest today. But the masters have all gone just now, and it seems that everything has been resolved.
Done.
The sound of the carriage came, and Tang Xi immediately walked towards the door. Seeing Lu Yao's embarrassed appearance, after questioning, he asked Fangzhuang and the others to help Lu Yao back to bed to rest, and then went to the drug store to prescribe some medicine for Lu Yao's health.
.
In fact, after leaving the yard, Lu Yao's tense nerves finally relaxed, so fatigue and pain appeared around him, swallowing him up.
No matter, let’s have a good rest first. With this thought, Lu Yao fell asleep...
In a daze, Lu Yao felt as if some liquid was sliding down his throat. He didn't know how long he slept. When Lu Yao opened his eyes again, he saw his elder brother Lu Hao, his elder sisters-in-law Xu, and Tang Xi.
And his mother Yan was watching him in his room.
The pain in the chest weakened a lot and was replaced by pain in the head. After such a fierce battle, it is quite normal to have such consequences.
When Tangxi saw Lu Yao getting up, he immediately stepped forward and helped Lu Yao lean against the bed.
Lu Yao looked at the family and said, "How long have I been sleeping?"
Tangxi said: "It's already night now. Master, you have slept all afternoon. After you came back, I went to the best doctor in Bianliang City and prescribed medicine for you to drink. How do you feel now?"
So that's it, Lu Yao thought, Fu Shaolong's kung fu was so powerful that he actually fainted for so long. Fortunately, the final result was good, and he won the martial arts competition.
, and also successfully persuaded Cao Guoshu and Han Yonghe.
Speaking of which, his father Lu Xu also truly stood on his side. At this point, Lu Yao looked around, then looked at his mother Yan and said, "Mom, where is my father?"
Yan looked at Lu Yao, sighed, and said, "Your father came back very late. In fact, he came back just a quarter of an hour before you woke up. I don't know where he went this afternoon. After he came back, he would eat
He didn’t eat either, so he went back to his room. Speaking of which, I smelled a smell of alcohol on him. It looked like he drank and ate outside. But I’m a little weird. Your dad doesn’t go out much.
I’m eating and I don’t know what’s going on today.”
Lu Yao looked at everyone and thought that it seemed that except for Tang Xi, no one present knew that he was participating in this competition. It seemed that Lu Xu didn't tell them about it either.
Later, Lu Hao and Xu asked about why Lu Yao was injured and so weak. Yan also gave Lu Yao some food. The physical exertion was too great and he slept all afternoon. Lu Yao would
Feeling a little hungry, he wolfed down his food first, and then stood up from the bed. He felt it was necessary to tell all his family members about this matter.
Therefore, Lu Yao told Lu Hao who was present about the training he had been doing in Jiuzhongxian during this period, including the Cao family's martial arts competition and the marriage recruitment meeting, as well as the recent negotiations with the Han family and the Cao family.
After all, this matter will be revealed sooner or later. Han Wenyuan has already made an appointment with Cao Ping, and he should be visiting Cao Ping soon. Yan will also have to be prepared by then.
In order to prevent his mother from misunderstanding Lu Xu, Lu Yao said: "I think dad must be trying to clean up the aftermath for me. I was a little tired before. I went home directly after coming out of the yard, but dad should be with Han Yonghe and Cao Guo."
My uncle exchanged some things about marriage again. He may have gone to dinner in the evening, so there is nothing wrong with him."
Lu Hao, Xu, and Yan were all shocked by Lu Yao's series of actions from before to now. It turned out that the injuries he suffered were caused by participating in the arena competition today.
My sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, said: "I really didn't expect that. I always thought that you would be a business master, and it would be easy for you to become an official in the court. I didn't expect that you would also make achievements in kung fu."
Lu Hao nodded at the side
Tou agreed: "It's just that the relationship between the Cao family and the Han family has never been harmonious. I think they can reach an agreement in the end. You and dad must have spent a lot of time in the process. Especially Uncle Cao Guo, who is so stubborn
With my character, it is impossible for me to directly agree to this marriage."
Lu Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, actually the most difficult thing is to convince Uncle Cao Guo."
In fact, the one who was most shocked was Yan. After all, during this period, she was the one organizing the marriage of Lu Yao and Han Yunyu. She was the one who communicated with Han Wenyuan about the preparations, procedures and other matters. Every time she asked
When asked about Lu Yao's suggestion, Lu Yao would only say to let his mother make her own decision. At that time, Yan didn't know why Lu Yao, as the groom's official, was so uninterested in the marriage to Han Yunyu. This was a life-long marriage.
It's a big deal. Now she knows it. When Han Wenyuan came to the Lu Mansion to discuss the wedding, Lu Yao had already planned to participate in the competition and was already training. Five
"In other words, the Cao family and the Han family will hold weddings on the same day. Cao Ping will discuss the follow-up matters with me then?" Yan asked, and Lu Yao nodded in response.
"This is a good thing. Although I don't understand the thoughts of you officials, if Han Yunyu and Cao Han become my daughters-in-law, the relationship between their families will also become better." Yan said.
"Yes, that's exactly it." Lu Yao said.
Although everyone present did not know what method Lu Yao used to finally reach an agreement with Cao Guoshu and Han Yonghe. But the result was definitely good.
Yan said: "You said it's true that your father didn't tell me in advance about such a big thing. He thought I couldn't help him, so he went out to drink."
Lu Yao quickly explained: "No, no, no, you misunderstood. In fact, I discussed with my father not to tell anyone before the matter was settled. Because even I was not sure that I could win at that time.
Even if we win today's game, Uncle Cao Guo's character may not agree to let Cao Han enter our Lu family as a concubine. Therefore, I will tell everyone after everything is over. Moreover, my father
Going out to drink with those two people was all about me, so please don’t be angry, mother."
After listening to Lu Yao's explanation, Yan's expression softened a little. Then he waved his hand and was about to leave Lu Yao's room. Before leaving, he said: "This guy, I'm going to get him something to sober up, and then I'll do it."
Order something to eat. Anyway, Cao Ping and Han Wenyuan won’t arrive for a few days, so I’ll go first.”
Lu Hao waited until Yan left, looked at Lu Yao, and said, "Can you tell me why you want to marry Cao Han? It's obvious that you and Han Yunyu have already entered into a marriage contract, and because of what happened before, there is nothing you can do about it.
Break the engagement, and Han Yunyu will be your wife no matter what."
Lu Yao looked at Lu Hao and said, "Brother, I was ignorant before, but now I understand that the only one I like is Cao Han. And Han Yunyu and I are not the same people after all, but even so, we and the Han family
We can't go back on our engagement, so in the future, Han Yunyu and I should be in a situation where we treat each other as if we are guests, and I won't have any problems with her. Regarding the engagement, what Han Yonghe values more is actually the identity of Han Yunyu's wife, and
What Uncle Cao Guoshu cares about is whether his daughter will be happy and whether she will be wronged in the future. On this point, I actually agree with Uncle Cao Guo’s idea."
Lu Hao and Xu looked at each other, and they understood what Lu Yao was thinking. This guy was indeed different from normal officials' children. He was not bound by the world, and he must be able to pursue the person he likes. This is his true temperament.
Lu Hao and Xu then asked Lu Yao a few more questions about his injury. After seeing that Lu Yao was indeed fine, they left the room with confidence.
At this time, Lu Yao and Tang Xi were the only two people left in Lu Yao's room.
"Tell me, during the time when I was in coma, who came to ask about me."
Seeing that Lu Yao could ask this question, Tang Xi must have recovered more than half, so he said: "Fangzhuang and the others have been guarding here, but there are too many people, just because they are all at the door, so Lu Hao behind,
The old lady also came. Later, when I came back after prescribing the medicine, I asked them to go back first, saying that I would tell them as soon as you wake up.
.”
"Well, you will arrange for your servants to go talk to them later. In addition, for the other four people in the team, you have someone send five guan of money to each of them, and tell them that I will ask them for something later."
This thing was done. In fact, Lu Yao knew that he was not the only one to win the group match. Like Fu Shaolong, Lu Yao also played as a team. Although on the surface ***
It's Fangzhuang, but in fact, the team did a very good job in protecting him, which allowed Lu Yao to maintain his physical strength at a very good level and be able to compete with Fu Shaolong. In addition, everyone's cooperation during the game
They also have a tacit understanding. Since the final thing is done, the money will be regarded as a reward for them. In addition, they still need to run their own martial arts gym together.
"I understand, Master. Also, not long after Fangzhuang and the others left, the big man from the team came. He also brought a few people with him. I have never seen those people. I only know that one of them is named
Li Cheng. They were very anxious after hearing the news that you were in a coma. Later they found out that it was nothing serious and left after repeated persuasion by me and the old lady."
Hearing what Tang Xi said, Lu Yao instantly understood what the big man had done before. It was exactly what he thought. He was going to win over the five members of Li Cheng's team. After all, the contract Li Cheng signed with Cao Guojiu was a temporary contract.
, after the martial arts competition, they were of no use. The big man must have thought about the martial arts school and wanted them to be helpers before he found them. Unexpectedly, his ideas were different from Lu Yao's.
Conspiring together.
"Well, give the big man another five guan of money alone and tell him to maintain a good relationship with Li Cheng. I will find them when needed." Lu Yao said to Tang Xi.
"I understand, sir."
Lu Yao nodded, then returned to the bed and waved his hand towards Tangxi.
"Okay, nothing happened. I think I'll just continue to rest."
