Chu Hongluan arranged a room for Zhang Ren to rest, and immediately arranged for people to go to the Zhang family and the county government to inquire about Zhang Ren.
There was a dinner party in the evening, and Chu Hongluan originally planned to take a rest, but at this time, someone came to report: "Inform the host, the young master of Wanyuan Pavilion wants to see him."
Wanyuan Pavilion was a pirate in the early years, and its reputation in the world has never been very good. However, they are secretive and never leave anyone alive. This is why they have survived to this day without leaving any clues.
However, as Wanyuan Pavilion became more and more powerful, the old pavilion master Li Qiu Sheng wanted to clear Wanyuan Pavilion's name, so he did some good deeds. In the past two years, Wanyuan Pavilion also made some efforts in fighting against Japanese pirates. of.
Chu Hongluan originally didn't like Wanyuan Pavilion very much, but now that Wanyuan Pavilion can fight against Japanese invaders, she has gained a little more friendship.
Chu Hongluan nodded towards his subordinates and said, "Please come quickly."
Not long after, a young man came in, followed by many people, carrying two large boxes.
This young man looks very good. He is dressed in white and looks like a handsome young man.
His name is Li Donghai, and he is the only son of Li Qiu Sheng, the master of Wanyuan Pavilion.
After meeting Chu Hongluan, Li Donghai hurriedly paid his respects and said, "My nephew has met Honggu."
Chu Hongluan nodded and asked, "Is your father okay?"
Li Donghai replied: "My father is in good health, but I am worried about you."
Chu Hongluan saw the two big boxes behind Li Donghai and said, "You came as soon as you came, why are you bringing gifts? This is really out of line."
Li Donghai smiled slightly and opened the two boxes tomorrow.
I saw that it was filled with jewelry and jades. If it were exchanged for silver, its value would be inestimable.
Even though Chu Hongluan was well-informed, he was still shocked by the two boxes in front of him and took a breath.
I only heard Li Donghai say: "I don't dare to hide it from Hong Gu. My nephew came here today just to propose marriage. Ever since he first met Yaoer sister, my nephew has been secretly in love with her. Now I'm preparing a small gift to show my hope to Hong Gu." Complete."
Zhenhai Tower has an excellent reputation in the world. If Wanyuan Pavilion can marry Zhenhai Tower, then Wanyuan Pavilion's reputation will naturally be much better. Li Qiu Sheng and Li Donghai are very good at planning, but then again, Li Qiu Sheng Donghai was indeed impressed by Chu Xiyao's beauty.
Although the wealth in front of him is enough to make people excited, in Chu Hongluan's heart, no amount of wealth can compare with family love.
She hurriedly smiled and said: "Yao'er, this child, has always had her own ideas. She is very stubborn. Even if I, my aunt, say something, she may not listen. We are all people in the world. We don't have so many rules. I don't ask for it." Otherwise, I just hope Yaoer can marry the person she likes."
Li Donghai has outstanding appearance and is extremely conceited. He flipped up his hair and said confidently: "Don't worry, Aunt Hong, I believe sister Yao'er also has my heart in her heart."
Chu Hongluan sighed secretly. She didn't know where this boy Li Donghai got his confidence. My niece obviously liked that boy Zhang Ren.
Although she thought so in her heart, Chu Hongluan couldn't say these words back. She could only change the topic: "Yesterday the Japanese pirates came and they were all captured. This is a good thing. There was a banquet at Zhenhai Tower in the evening, and it happened to be your nephew. You’re here, don’t leave today, just stay in Zhenhai Tower.”
….
Li Donghai cupped his hands and congratulated Chu Hongluan: "Honggu has been fighting the Japanese pirates for so many years, and now we have finally wiped them all out. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."
Chu Hongluan smiled slightly and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Take the young master to the guest room to rest first. He is a guest, so don't neglect him."
His subordinates took the order and signaled Li Donghai to follow him.
Li Donghai pointed to two large boxes and said to Chu Hongluan: "Honggu, these gifts..."
Chu Hongluan said: "My good nephew, keep them first. As long as Yao'er agrees to my good nephew, I won't be too late to take them."
Li Donghai smiled confidently, cupped his hands towards Chu Hongluan, and then led his men to the guest room to rest.
Not long after, the two waves of people sent by Chu Hongluan to inquire about Zhang Ren came back.
.
Only one of them reported: "This is the poster, after yesterday's battle, Zhang Er and Zhang Lun were killed, Zhang Er and Zhang Lun were also beaten, and he was escorted to the county government office."
As soon as this person finished his report, someone else reported: "Reporter, the county government has also inquired. Zhang Ren went to the county government yesterday to have a long talk with Mr. Zheng. This morning, Mr. Zheng sent the Zhang family home at the gate of the county government. The illegal things he had done were made public, and he was ordered to be beaten. The old man of the Zhang family was also present. Many people sued the Zhang family due to the outrage. Now the county government has taken many Zhang family members into custody, and the old man of the Zhang family has personally paid the compensation. The people have a lot of money."
Chu Hongluan smiled knowingly, seeming to be increasingly satisfied with Zhang Ren. He nodded and said, "Okay, you guys can go down first."
…
It was evening soon, and Zhang Ren and Li Donghai were invited out of the guest room.
Eliminating Japanese pirates was a major event for the entire Muping County and even Dengzhou Prefecture, so many people were invited to the Zhenhai Tower dinner, including Magistrate Zheng of Muping County.
Zhang Ren didn't know anyone else, so he naturally sat down next to Magistrate Zheng. The two of them drank wine and chatted happily.
Not long after, Chu Xiyao also dressed up to attend. It could be seen that she had dressed up deliberately today. He added some light makeup to her natural beauty to make her look even more delicate.
Looking at Chu Xiyao with bright eyes and white teeth, Li Donghai immediately stepped forward to say hello: "Sister Yao'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting more and more beautiful."
Chu Xiyao smiled lightly and said, "It turns out to be Brother Donghai."
Yu Jinshao, who had been following Chu Xiyao, also raised his hands towards Lidonghai and said, "I have met the Young Pavilion Master."
Although she was talking to Li Donghai, Chu Xiyao was somewhat absent-minded, and her eyes kept searching among the crowd.
"Sister Yao'er, I brought a lot of treasures when I came here this time..." Li Donghai said with great joy.
But before he could finish speaking, Chu Xiyao finally spotted Zhang Ren’s figure among the crowd. Chu Xiyao couldn’t care about Li Donghai now, so she immediately ran towards Zhang Ren with a cheerful mouth The ground greeted Zhang Ren: "Zhang Ren!"
Li Donghai felt extremely embarrassed. He wanted to say something to keep Chu Xiyao away, but Chu Xiyao had already run away.
Next to him, Yu Jinshao also bowed his hand towards Li Donghai again, and then left with Chu Xiyao. There were too many people attending the dinner, and Yu Jinshao was afraid that someone would bump into Chu Xiyao.
Chu Xiyao ran to Zhang Ren and sat down next to him. Yu Jinshao did not sit down, but stood directly next to Chu Xiyao. At the same time, he was still observing Zhang Ren.
Night rivers and lakes.
