Everyone followed Zhu Mingyu's parents to the lobby of the Zhu family. After the formal meeting, Zhu Mingyu asked the housekeepers to take Li Fenglan and the others to the guest room to rest first.
After Li Fenglan and the others left, Zhu Mingyu was just about to talk business with his parents when a servant ran into the lobby with a smile on his face and said loudly: "Master, madam, young master, young lady, someone from the Zhenbei Wang master's family is here."
Mr. Zhu said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do. My son will go home today and won't see any guests."
The servant said: "Master, I'm here to propose marriage. Everyone knew about it as soon as the young master entered the town. Not only the Wang family, but also several other powerful people sent people here. They will probably be at our door soon." "
Mrs. Zhu said, "Oh, let them come in quickly."
She was naturally excited to see her son, but her son's marriage was more important than meeting her son. During the years when Zhu Mingyu was not at home, Mrs. Zhu kept an eye on several older girls in the town every day. Some of them fell in love with her, for fear that they would get married before her son returned to secular life. Who would have thought that when I returned home in my early twenties, the older girls and children I fell in love with could already walk. The girl and the old couple from the Wang family in Zhenbei know that she is sixteen years old, has a good skin, and is well-educated. Her son was several years older than others, and they even came to propose marriage. Mrs. Zhu was so happy when she heard about it.
Zhu Mingyu said hurriedly: "Mom, don't be in a hurry."
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhu immediately became anxious: "Why are you not in a hurry? Do you still remember those little ones of yours? They all have children, and you are the only one left. Why are you not in a hurry? Let them come in quickly. "
Zhu Mingyu quickly stopped: "Dad, I came back with my wife this time!"
The old couple were a little dumbfounded. They had been looking at their son just now, and they vaguely remembered that he came back with a few people, including three girls.
Mrs. Zhu asked in a low voice: "Which one is it? How is your family background?"
Zhu Mingyu replied: "The one in yellow, his surname is Zhou, and his name is Hubo." Li Fenglan asked Zhu Mingyu to say this. In a rich family like the Zhu family, no matter how well-educated they are, they will still have grudges if they are not from the right family. If the old couple knew that Amber was an orphan, there might be twists and turns in the matter. Li Fenglan felt that Chen Tong would treat them like his own daughters anyway, and would wait until Amber would return to Chaolan Valley in a few days. Regardless of whether Chen Tong agreed or not, he would let Amber change his tune directly.
Mr. Zhu was thoughtful: "Oh, oh...son, this Miss Zhou is not a member of the world, is she?"
Zhu Mingyu nodded: "Yes, he is from the Jianghu."
The old couple looked at each other, and Mrs. Zhu muttered a little guiltily: "You are a man in the world, how are you doing as a girl?"
Zhu Mingyu said in her heart: Didn't Xiaoxiao write about this first when she wrote home?
He replied: "He is a very nice person and very simple."
Zhu Zi said, "Then take us to meet them."
Zhu Mingyu stood up: "Let me bring her over."
In fact, no matter who Zhu Mingyu marries, the old couple are happy, as long as they can see the next generation. However, the old couple are still a little unhappy among the people in the world. A large family of their size has contact with Jianghu, but it is only superficial contact. They dare not interact too deeply for fear of contaminating the cause and effect that they cannot afford.
Over in the guest room, Amber was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands.
Ayana said: "Kohaku, don't be nervous."
"I, I, I'm afraid... Sister Ayami... Miss, no, Sister Lan... let's go back, it's not too late now."
Li Fenglan had a firm look on her face: "Hubo, don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I suddenly thought, should I tell Aunt Zhou about this first? If Aunt Zhou knew that I came to his house to meet his parents without her consent... would Aunt Zhou beat me?" Kanshu La
"When did Aunt Zhou beat you? And you have to remember it. If his parents ask you later, you can no longer say Aunt Zhou, but say mother!"
Just as he was talking, Zhu Mingyu opened the door and walked in.
"Amber, come, follow me to meet my parents."
Amber subconsciously replied: "I won't go!"
Zhu Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to go, then don't go."
Li Fenglan was very surprised: "This is the last time I trembled. Is it gone?"
Zhu Mingyu said: "Actually, I thought about it, and I made the decision in Chang'an. Even if Amber regrets it when she comes to my house, I will not force her. It's okay, you guys have a good rest."
As he was about to walk out, Amber hurriedly said: "No! I, I'll go with you..."
Zhu Mingyu smiled brightly: "Really? You didn't force yourself?"
"Nah."
Zhu Mingyu took Hu Huo's hand and walked out the door.
Li Fenglan and Linghan were left in the room, staring with big eyes.
"Hiss..." Li Fenglan took a breath, "This Zhu Mingyu... has such a good trick."
Ayahan deeply agreed: "Play hard to get and play very smoothly."
"I have to say, Amber is very good at this."
"Feng Lan, although I have never met Senior Sword Immortal, I have learned something from you through this period of contact. I would like to ask...does Sword Immortal have a bad temper?"
"It depends on who you are dealing with... He is fine with Jade and Amber, but he has a bad temper with me and always lectures me."
…
Amber followed Zhu Mingyu like a little daughter-in-law, walking in the Zhu family courtyard. Amber only felt that her face was hot and she didn't dare to look up all the way. The servants I saw on the road were all greeting Zhu Mingyu. Zhu Mingyu seemed very approachable, without any airs of a young master.
It was not far from the guest room to the lobby. Amber wished she could walk slower. She was still shy and scared deep down.
When they arrived at the lobby, Amber almost entered a state of dissociation again.
"Mom, dad, I brought you here."
Amber raised her head slightly, looked at the old couple in front of her and the girl about her own age, and whispered, "Hello, uncle...Hello, aunt..."
When Amber raised her head, Mrs. Zhu, who was still a little worried at first, suddenly smiled. Jianghu people are just Jianghu people. If you look so lovable, you will admit it even if it causes trouble for your family in the future.
Mrs. Zhu walked up to Amber with a smile on her face, took her hand and said, "Oh, this girl is so handsome."
Amber became even more embarrassed: "You, you have given me the prize."
"Come on, come on, girl, sit down quickly."
Mrs. Zhu pulled Hu Huo to sit down on the chair. Mr. Zhu also glanced at Hu Huo a few times, nodded secretly, and said to himself: Yes, my son has good taste, and the girl is very beautiful.
Mrs. Zhu took Hu Hui to chat about home affairs.
"Daughter, where is your home?"
"Nantun Town, north of Luoyang."
"What do you do at home?"
"My father works as a coach in an escort agency."
Mr. Zhu asked: "Is this the Zhenyuan Escort Agency?"
"Yes."
"Oh," Mr. Zhu said, stroking his beard, "I had contact with him many years ago." He said in his heart: Hey, I am a charlatan and a coach of an escort agency, that's not a big deal.
Of course, Amber's rhetoric was taught by Li Fenglan. Zhu Mingyu knows this, so he can't tell Zhu Mingyu's parents: Amber's adoptive father and adoptive mother were all-powerful knights in the past, killing people without blinking an eye, right?
Amber looked very cramped and felt uncomfortable all over.
Zhu Zi on the side couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly said: "Oh, parents, please stop asking, sister Hu Hu is embarrassed."
Then he took Amber's hand and said, "Sister Amber, I'll take you around the house."
Amber responded with a grateful look.
Mrs. Zhu warned: "Zi'er, Amber has just arrived at our house, don't be tired."
"No." He said, pulling Amber out of the house.
Zhu Mingyu also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that her parents might ask some questions.
Zhu Mingyu smiled and asked, "Dad, how are you?"
Mr. Zhu nodded: "Well, my daughter is not bad. Mingyu, do her family members know?"
"I know." Li Fenglan is Sister Hubo anyway.
"Does your family have any objections?"
"I
She plans to go to Nantun Town in two days to formally meet her parents. "
"Well, it should be. As for you, rest at home for a few days and go in a few days. Don't feel bad about the bride price or anything like that. Just give them as much as they want. Decide the matter as soon as possible."
"I know, Dad."
"By the way, your master's side..."
"Dad, I have returned to secular life."
Mrs. Zhu was overjoyed: "That's good, that's good. Let Lao Li prepare some gifts for Taoist Zhang later. We have to thank him for raising Mingyu for so many years."
Mr. Zhu said: "Yes, yes, you have to prepare... Mingyu, go get the chess pieces and play two games with dad."
"okay."
…
Zhu Zi has a cheerful personality and has not recognized life since she was a child.
She pulled Amber to the backyard. Although Zhu Mingyu's parents liked her very much, the atmosphere made her too reserved. I felt a lot more relaxed when I was with Zhu Zi, who was younger than me.
The two of them came under the small pavilion. Zhu Zi smiled and asked, "Sister Amber, when did you meet my brother?"
Amber replied: "Last summer."
Zhu Zi asked in a low voice: "Why do you like my brother?"
Amber blushed: "I don't know why... maybe it's because Ming Yudao is so beautiful."
Zhu Zi couldn't help but laugh: "Is it just because it looks good?"
"He is very nice, but I am too stupid to explain."
Zhu Zi suddenly said: "Sister Amber, your father is not actually the coach of the escort agency, right?"
Amber was shocked: "How did you know?" Then she realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly shut up.
Zhu Zi chuckled: "My brother is a disciple of the great master Zhang Daozhang, and the people he knows must be big shots. Although the instructor of the escort agency is also a decent job, he probably won't know people at my brother's level. "
Amber could only say: "Your name is Zhuzi, right?"
"Yes, just call me Zi'er."
"Okay...Zi'er, can you not tell your parents about this?"
Zhu Zi nodded: "No, I know the reason why you lie is to prevent my parents from worrying."
"Well," Amber said solemnly, "Actually, we have a lot of troubles. It would be better for you to know less about it, so as not to implicate you."
Zhu Zi didn't seem to care about this: "Sister Amber, are your martial arts very high?"
"Roughly the same."
"How does it compare to my brother?"
"Uh... he should be better than your brother."
Zhu Zi was a little shocked: "I heard from the servants at home that my brother's martial arts are ranked among the best in the world. He also said that if he had been born twenty years earlier, he would have been on the earth and earth ranking. I heard that my brother's martial arts were ranked first in the world. There are only fifty people in total, sister Amber, can you also be on this list?"
Amber was a little embarrassed: "I...the second best person in the world..."
This is true. The list that came out after the Yaoxian Valley competition last year, although there are some inaccuracies, such as Fu Yanhe, Shuo Feng and others were not on the list, is generally correct. It can be said that Amber is the second most popular person in the world.
Zhu Zi's mouth was open enough to fit a salted duck egg in: "Oh my god, Sister Hu Hu! You are so powerful!"
There are many girls in Chaolan Valley. Those who are older than Amber call her sister. Those who are one or two years younger than her call her by her name. Only those children under ten years old call her sister. She is so innocent that people don't realize that she is already a grown up girl. Zhu Zi has a sweet mouth and speaks like a sister. Amber gradually loses herself in the words "sister". She found that she had been a sister for a long time, and it was actually a very happy thing to suddenly become someone's sister.
