After listening to his father's words, Zhou Hongling nodded.
Then he said, "Father, I'm going to find a girl of the right age among Lineage to see if Lu Yuan is satisfied or not, but now the only suitable person seems to be Hongxiu from my fourth uncle's family. What do you think?"
"Well, it's true that after your fourth uncle died in battle, he left behind Hongxiu mother and daughter. Lu Yuan has good talents and outstanding military achievements. It wouldn't be an insult if Hongxiu follows him." Zhou Ren said softly.
And Zhou Hongling nodded. "Father, the fourth aunt once said that she wanted Hongxiu to marry into the general family and find a well-matched man. If she doesn't agree..."
"Go and talk first. Your fourth aunt is indeed a bit more powerful, but Lu Yuan is not bad either. Please help me say more good things." Zhou Ren said after taking a sip of tea.
He was also very concerned about this niece.
If I can succeed with Lu Yuan, it will be a relief.
"Yes, I understand." Zhou Hongling nodded and walked out of the living room.
After a while, we came to a courtyard, which was quite exquisite. Outside was the garden of the Zhou Mansion.
The maid is embroidering in the pavilion in the courtyard.
After seeing Zhou Hongling come in, someone immediately stood up and said, "Hello, Miss."
"Is my fourth aunt at home?"
"Here we are, madam and young lady are inside." The maid respectfully led the way to Zhou Hongling.
The latter's current status among Lineage is definitely on the front line. As General of Three Towns, and his talent is extremely good, there are only a handful of the Zhou Family's juniors who can compare with him.
"Boo!"
As the door of the house was pushed open, Zhou Hongling raised her legs and walked in, and two figures came into view.
One of them is a middle-aged woman, wearing a purple-red dress, fair and clean, and looks quite wealthy.
There was also a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, sitting on the edge of the kang across the small table.
Mother and daughter are drinking tea.
After finding Zhou Hongling coming in, Hongxiu stood up and said, "Sister is back, sit down quickly."
"Yeah."
Zhou Hongling responded, then looked at the middle-aged woman. "I have met the fourth aunt."
"Hong Ling, we are all a family, so don't be too polite, sit down and talk." Fourth Aunt Madam Wang said with a smile.
Zhou Hongling nodded and sat down.
After taking a sip of the tea that was just served, he looked at his sister and said, "Hongxiu Is there someone you like?"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for his daughter's reply, Madam Wang said immediately, "How can there be someone you like who can't even leave the door, just waiting for Lineage to make arrangements? Does Hong Ling already have a candidate?"
Girls from big families will usually be married by their families when they reach an age.
Madam Wang saw that Hongxiu was getting older and felt anxious. Now when Hong Ling asked, he naturally responded quickly.
After all, the other party's current status in Lineage is extraordinary. It would be great if he could really find a suitable family for his daughter.
Zhou Hongling didn't show off, and said directly, "I have Centurion under me, who is very talented. Lineage means that he wants to find a woman of the right age to marry him. After thinking about it, sister Hongxiu is suitable, so I came to ask."
Madam Wang frowned inadvertently when he heard it was Centurion, but he recovered quickly.
Then he said, "Then I don't know whose young master he is?"
"It is said that there is only one mother, and there are no other relatives. I am able to leave now because of my own ability and fight in the battlefield." Zhou Hongling naturally saw the expression of the fourth aunt, but still said slowly.
There is no exaggeration.
Madam Wang's face fell instantly. Hongxiu on the side had no expression on his face, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Then, I heard Madam Wang complaining. "Hong Ling, your fourth uncle was struggling in the battlefield at a young age. In the end, he was injured and died on the battlefield. The person you mentioned is indeed good, but good talent does not mean that he will not die.
I'm already like this, but I don't want Hongxiu to follow my old path one day, so I can't agree to this marriage."
"Fourth Aunt, but my father's side..."
"I'll go talk to your father. He'll give me some face." Madam Wang said immediately.
"Okay, then listen to the fourth aunt, I was just ordered to come and ask." Zhou Hongling said with a smile. In fact, she knew Madam Wang, so she naturally understood the other party's thoughts. The main reason was not because Lu Yuan needed to go to the battlefield.
It's because the other party is just Centurion, and there is no support from Lineage behind him.
If Lu Yuan was now Captain, or a general, the fourth aunt would have agreed long ago.
However, I won't say the specific Zhou Hongling.
If it weren't for her father's fault, she wouldn't even bother to come.
The mother and daughter were jealous of her in the past few years, but they often talked about her behind her back. In the past two years, they shut up after seeing that she had indeed achieved results.
Hongxiu stepped forward and took Zhou Hongling's arm and said, "Thank you, sister Hong Ling, I know you love me the most."
Her wish is also to marry into a wealthy family, not to follow a Centurion and slowly wait for him to grow up.
There are too many variables and uncertainties here.
Zhou Hongling stood up and said, "Hongxiu Don't say that. In fact, the person I'm talking about is indeed quite outstanding."
"Hey, sister, I have been running the Lineage industry since elementary school. Can you tell me if Centurion is an industry worth running?" Hongxiu pouted.
Zhou Hongling Hearing what she said, he showed a helpless expression. "Okay, then I'll leave first. You can just tell my father about the rest. For the sake of my fourth uncle, he should agree."
After saying that, he left with Madam Wang mother and daughter.
After walking out of the yard, Zhou Hongling couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
If the fourth aunt doesn't want to do it, what can she do?
My father probably had nothing to say at this time.
She didn't know why, but every time Zhou Ren talked about asking Lu Yuan to marry Lineage, she couldn't help but want to refute it. Although she held it back in the end, she was still irritable.
This time, I can breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, he walked straight towards the stables, preparing to return to Ice Plain City today.
The imperial court has ordered a war against Northern Barbarians, and elite troops are being mobilized from all over the country to fight against Northern Frontier.
As a frontier fortress, the three cities naturally have heavier responsibilities.
Not only is it responsible for defense, but it is also necessary to deploy some troops to follow the army on the expedition.
Therefore, there will be a lot of things to come.
One day passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Yuan and Zhou He returned to the city early in the morning the next day.
This time, he brought back a full thirty-five thousand taels of silver, so after entering the city, the two of them went straight to the Merit Pavilion.
The purpose is to purchase spiritual materials.
Everything else is fine, mainly Heart-Refining Spirit-Nurturing Realm's genius treasure.
As long as he has this, he is confident that he can continue to improve his strength in the next battle.
Zhou He and Lu Yuan had already discussed it, so they followed.
Although he cannot break through to Tendon-Refining in a short period of time, he is still preparing to buy some pills.
Wait until you are on the battlefield before using it.
This time Great Yong and Northern Barbarians go to war. It is also an opportunity for the border troops to take a step forward. Of course, more people may die.
When we arrived outside the Merit Pavilion, the place had just opened and there were not many people inside.
Lu Yuan and Zhou He walked in immediately.
Then, he picked out the cultivation materials.
