Chapter 299 Reasons for Not Marrying into the Lu Family

Lu Zhaoyang coughed anxiously.

He was afraid that Gu Taohua would agree and he would not be able to end it.

The next second, Mr. Lu was slapped in the face.

Gu Taohua said: "Grandpa Lu, you think I'm very good, but I think I'm better than you think."

Tong Huaqiong smiled secretly. Gu Taohua was raised by Tong Dajiao and her. It was estimated that there would be no girl in the whole Ningcheng who was as confident as her.

Gu Taohua glanced at Tong Huaqiong and continued, "Grandpa Lu, you think I am suitable to marry into the Lu family. My marriage is not like marrying an animal. It only depends on whether I like it or not."

Gu Taohua looked at Lu Zhaoyang and said, "I don't like Brother Zhaoyang."

Lu Zhaoyang almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Gu Taohua is too direct.

Mr. Lu asked in disbelief: "What's wrong with my grandson?"

Gu Taohua spread her hands and said, "He looks weak, like a snowman that will melt in the wind. I don't like such a weak scholar. Secondly, Brother Zhaoyang and I have no common language. He is a scholar and I am a farm girl. He talks about all sorts of things, while I talk about the crops in the pig fields and the snacks in the shop. Also, your Lu family has been a single-line family for generations. If you marry into the family, there is pressure to give birth to a son. My mother said that giving birth to a boy or a girl is a man's business. If Brother Zhaoyang can't give birth to a son, then I will be the one being scolded by the world."

"All of the above determined that I could not marry into the Lu family."

Gu Taohua listed all the disadvantages of marrying Lu Zhaoyang in one breath.

The more Mr. Lu listened, the darker his face became.

It turns out that his huge fortune has no appeal to Gu Taohua at all, and that his proud grandson is nothing in Taohua's heart.

Mr. Lu opened his mouth to refute, but didn't know what to say.

He wouldn't force Gu Taohua to marry Lu Zhaoyang.

At the same time, Mr. Lu began to resent Tong Huaqiong. What kind of girl was this? She even said that a man couldn't give birth to a son, and she wasn't even ashamed.

But if there really is a girl who is so shy, Mr. Lu will not like her.

Gu Taohua's words also hit Lu Zhaoyang.

Lu Zhaoyang is a talented scholar of Wanliu Academy. Although he is not as handsome as Gu Jingzhe, the noble aura he has acquired since childhood, the gentle and elegant air of a scholar, and the yandere figure brought about by his illness constitute the unique elegant temperament of Wanliu Academy.

Girls often went boating on the river outside Wanliu Academy in order to catch a glimpse of his handsome appearance.

A weak body will fall down at the slightest gust of wind, and her words are out of touch with reality. Also, she may not be able to give birth to a son...

Lu Zhaoyang never thought that he was a person with so many shortcomings.

What neither Tong Huaqiong nor Gu Taohua expected was that because of Gu Taohua's words, Lu Zhaoyang vowed not to be a yandere anymore, and from then on practiced swordplay and boxing every day to keep fit. It is said that many years later, Lord Lu, who had become the prime minister, accompanied the emperor in the battle, shot the enemy's garrison commander to death with one arrow, thus turning the tide of the battle, shocking the entire court.

Back to the dinner, Lu Zhaozhao was happy when she realized that her grandfather was going to marry Gu Taohua to Lu Zhaoyang.

As her best friend, Gu Taohua is better than others as her sister-in-law.

I don’t have to worry about the relationship between aunt and sister-in-law anymore.

She felt quite regretful when Gu Taohua refused.

Gu Taohua pointed out Lu Zhaoyang's shortcomings, and Lu Zhaoyang was unhappy. He said, "Taohua, you only see my brother's shortcomings, but you ignore his good points. You can go and ask around, and see how many young ladies in Ningcheng admire my brother. If you don't believe me, come to my rouge shop and see how many young ladies come to buy rouge just to find out about my brother."

Lu Zhaozhao felt a little aggrieved as he spoke.

Her brother was such a good person, yet he was criticized like this. If it weren't for Gu Taohua, she would have thought it was a deliberate humiliation.

Gu Taohua said confidently: "So many young ladies admire Brother Zhaoyang, just pick one from them, don't worry about my opinion."

"Taohua!" Tong Huaqiong coughed twice and interrupted Gu Taohua.

Gu Taohua's straightforward words cut off Mr. Lu's idea of ​​getting married.

A 14 or 15-year-old girl could speak freely in front of Mr. Lu about his shortcomings and refuse the marriage proposal, and Mr. Lu would not give a fuss about the young girl. But if Gu Taohua continued to be straightforward, she would only anger Mr. Lu.

This is a refusal to marry, not an enmity.

"Grandpa, I spoiled my Taohua since she was young, and she has always been outspoken. Please don't mind it. Marriage is destined by heaven, and it is not humanly possible to decide who the matchmaker will match and who he will not. Thank you for valuing my Taohua. With her temper, my Taohua is really not suitable to be your daughter-in-law." Tong Huaqiong said.

Mr. Lu still looked unhappy.

Tong Huaqiong gritted her teeth and said, "Grandpa, your Zhaoyang is a good child. You often go out to do business and there is no elder at home. If you trust me, I will pay more attention to which family has a good girl and help Zhaoyang to make connections."

Lu Zhaoyang said: "Aunt Tong, no need to trouble you."

Mr. Lu turned his anger towards Lu Zhaoyang and said, "Why not? You are not a child anymore. You will go to the capital next year. Do you know that when the results are announced, princesses, governors and wealthy families will look for a husband? What if you are chosen by an ugly princess or governor with a bad temper? So you must finalize your marriage before going to the capital."

Mr. Lu is very confident that his grandson will get among the top three in the exam.

With Lu Zhaoyang's looks and talent, who wouldn't want to take him away as a son-in-law?

In addition, the Lu family is a merchant family and has no connection with the imperial power, so there is no pressure to arrest them.

"Boss Tong, this is what you said. I will go to sea next year, and my grandson's marriage will be left to you." said Mr. Lu.

Tong Huaqiong: “…”

She was just being polite, but it really happened to her.

How to do?

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Tong Huaqiong had no choice but to take over. There was no suitable girl around her, so she planned to go to Pingchuan County to discuss the matter with County Magistrate Liu's mother, Han, as soon as she returned. She believed that Han would prefer to be a matchmaker.

Lu Zhaoyang remained silent.

Someone like him must get married.

He had no reason to refuse the engagement.

Seeing that Lu Zhaoyang was unhappy, Gu Taohua said, "Brother Zhaoyang, what I just said is not your shortcoming. It is only a shortcoming for me, not for others. You are rich, good-looking, and talented. Didn't you hear Zhao Zhao say that all the young ladies in the city admire you? You will definitely find the girl of your dreams."

Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua rejected the marriage proposal from the Gu and Lu families, and the dinner party came to a brief stalemate.

After the meal, Tong Huaqiong hurriedly said goodbye with Gu Taohua and others.

As soon as Tong Huaqiong stepped out of the door, Mr. Lu asked her to stay.

Tong Huaqiong thought, why don't you give up yet?

Mr. Lu sent Lu Zhaoyang and others away and asked, "Are you familiar with Mother Mo now?"

Tong Huaqiong's eyes widened.

It’s not that Mr. Lu hates people who engage in worldly affairs the most. The fact that he doesn’t have any concubines shows that he is a relatively upright person.

Then why did he ask Mother Mo?

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but think of a rule: homophobia means being in the closet.

What does it mean that Mr. Lu hates women of pleasure so much?
