In fact, Qiao Jian didn't appear near the West Lake on purpose, but when he went to Tianxiang Tower to find girls to have sex with, some girls insisted that he take them to the West Lake to see the scenery.Qiao Jian usually dotes on women the most, and finally he has no choice but to compromise under the soft-heartedness of several people.

After arriving at the West Lake, it was nothing more than visiting the garden to see the scenery, which made Qiao Jian very boring.After walking for a while, the girls said they wanted to rest when they were tired. Qiao Jian just didn't want to go any further, so he found a pavilion to rest, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the service of the girls rubbing his shoulders and legs.

Originally, Qiao Jian didn't want to open his eyes and was too lazy to look at the people and scenery around him. He was tired of seeing these things. Now what he wants to do most is to go back to Tianxiang Building and make a scene. big dream.

At this moment, Qiao Jian suddenly heard "Wen Yu" whispering something, out of curiosity, Qiao Jian opened his eyes, and under the guidance of the girls, he saw who the two on the broken bridge were.

"Xue Chengyi and Luo Shaoqing...how did they come here?" Qiao Jian ignored the girl beside him and muttered to himself.

The quick-witted "Wen Yu" saw through the relationship between the two at a glance, and fell into Qiao Jian's arms with a charming smile, "I really don't know how to be funny, of course they are talking about love. I heard that Master Luo intends to marry a daughter, but the Xue family has not come to propose marriage for a long time, which makes Master Luo very anxious."

Hearing that Qiao Jian had a plan in mind, since Xue Chengyu couldn't move him, he would start with Xue Chengyi. Xue Chengyi is not like his brother who has a delicate heart and careful planning in everything.As long as he broke through him, wouldn't it be easy to bring down the Xue family in the future?

Thinking that Qiao Jian didn't want to be bored with the women around him anymore, he took out his money bag and sent each of them a few taels of silver back to Tianxianglou.

And he went back to Qiao's mansion as quickly as possible, asked his servants to prepare generous gifts, and went to pay a visit to Master Luo early the next morning.

Master Luo's business is not big, but he can be considered a well-known squire in the south of the Yangtze River. He taught and educated people in his early years, and he had countless disciples. Xue Chengyu and Jiang Qi also attended his classes.

The people in the chamber of commerce respected him very much, and even Qiao Jian's elder brother would give him three points of courtesy when he saw him.

As soon as I heard that it was the second young master of the Qiao family who came to visit, Master Luo was not willing to meet with him. Firstly, the Luo family and the Qiao family only had business contacts, and the private relationship was so poor that they had reached the point where they had nothing to do. The state of the palace.

Secondly, Master Luo looks down on Qiao Jian from the bottom of his heart, if he is just ignorant and incompetent, but his conduct is not good, and every now and then, he will cause some troubles and spread throughout Jiangnan.

If you don't understand each other when you meet someone of the same kind, why do you meet?Is it possible to block yourself?Finally, under Qiao Jian's repeated requests, Master Luo finally patiently invited him into the mansion.

As soon as Qiao Jian entered the gate, he flattered Master Luo like a dog, and handed the generous gift he had prepared to Master Luo, which made Master Luo very disgusted.

Qiao Jian is not some idiot who can't tell by his face, seeing Master Luo's impatient expression, Qiao Jian knows how to shut up and stop flattering.

Since Qiao Jian stopped talking useless nonsense, Master Luo exchanged a few casual greetings, "I heard that your brother was ill a while ago, I wonder if he has improved recently?"

"My brother's minor illness has recovered. Thank you, Master Luo, for your concern. I heard that Master Luo intends to betroth the third lady. I wonder if there is a good son-in-law?"

Master Luo heard some meaning from the words, and understood that Qiao Jian's purpose of coming today is not only to help his brother, but he also wants to be a matchmaker for himself, and use his character to make a quick husband-in-law?

Thinking of Master Luo's dislike for Qiao Jian, he wanted to directly explain and cut off his thoughts, but then Qiao Jian said again: "Don't worry, Master Luo, I have no other intentions for Miss San, I know My talent is not in the eyes of Master Luo, let alone please Master Luo, Master Luo would not marry Miss San to me because of love and reason, I still have self-knowledge on this point."

Master Luo has never seen Qiao Jian let go of his high profile, restrain his arrogance and become humble and cautious.

Since Qiao Jian didn't come here for an engagement, Master Luo felt relieved and continued to talk to him patiently: "The candidate has already been decided, and he is the second young master of the Xue family. Cheng Yi and Shaoqing are childhood sweethearts, they share the same mind, and Cheng Yi has a good character. He has read history books at a young age and is proficient in the six arts, he is exactly the ideal son-in-law in my heart."

Master Luo praised Xue Chengyi so much because he wanted Qiao Jian to retreat in spite of difficulties, to understand the gap between people, and to let him know the standard of his chosen son-in-law.

After hearing this, Qiao Jian pretended to be in deep thought, and after a while he managed to say, "Isn't it unreasonable for Mr. Luo to make such a decision?"

"Why not?" Master Luo asked suspiciously.

"Since ancient times, the elder brother has married first, and the younger brother will marry later. Master Xue has passed the age of adulthood and has not yet married, but the 17-year-old younger brother is getting married. Isn't it too hasty in the eyes of outsiders?

What's more, the brothers of the Xue family are all talented and good-natured, and whoever the third young lady marries is always favored?

Coupled with the fact that Xue Chengyu is more stable, and now he has taken over half of the Xue family's business, wouldn't the third lady marry the young master to enjoy the blessings in the past? "

After listening to Qiao Jian's remarks, Master Luo slapped his palm on the table angrily, and said angrily, "Nonsense! This marriage matter is that you say you can marry whoever you want! This is no joke!"

Master Luo's palm was so strong that it not only made the tea set on the table jingle, but also made Qiao Jian tremble in fright.

I thought that Master Luo was a pedantic old antique who followed the old rules in the poems and books, but he didn't expect that Master Luo was still an enlightened person, and his remarks would definitely touch the bottom line of Master Luo, so he quickly lowered his posture and pretended to be flattering;

"Old Luo, calm down, calm down. What I said just now was indeed not pleasant, but I also did it for the common interests of you and the Xue family.

Although Cheng Yi's younger brother is talented, he is not as calm as Cheng Yu's brother. At a young age, he doesn't know how to make progress and always visits Miss San to go out and play. "

Although Qiao Jian's words are not pleasant, they are very reasonable. Xue Chengyi is indeed talented in business, but he always likes to take the edge of the sword and play cards out of common sense.

And Xue Chengyu is strict in dealing with people and follows the rules. It is always reassuring to leave things to him.The two brothers each have their own advantages, and for a while Master Luo was also a little undecided.

Even though Master Luo's decision was shaken, thinking of Qiao Jian's conflict with the Xue family, the most urgent thing is to send him away as soon as possible, and said perfunctorily: "I will listen to your suggestion, but I will never change my opinion just because of your one-sided words." After all, the marriage of children is an important matter, I still need to discuss it with Brother Zhengyang."

Seeing that the conversation couldn't go on, Qiao Jian didn't bother himself anymore, got up and saluted Master Luo and exited the living room. Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind: "Master Luo still needs to think more, don't make a hasty decision." After finishing speaking Then he disappeared from Luofu with his servants.

After Qiao Jian left, Master Luo sat alone in the living room and thought about Qiao Jian's words carefully. In fact, Master Luo never decided on a suitable candidate, and was always wandering between the two brothers.

As for him moving out of Xue Chengyi, it was just to find a reason to send Qiao Jian away. This kid from the Qiao family is too scheming, he beat around the bush and set up traps everywhere. If he is not careful, he will fall into his trap and catch him. his way.

When talking to this kind of person, you must never follow his will, you must do the opposite, and you must not head-on.

When Master Luo was in trouble, Luo Feng, who had listened to the conversation between the two in the back hall for a long time, figured out Qiao Jian's intentions, and only after he understood Qiao Jian's purpose did he dare to come out and dissuade him in front of Master Luo: "Qiao Jian and the Xue family We have been feuding for a long time, today's action is definitely to sow discord, to tear apart Shaoqing and Chengyi, so that the two brothers will fight each other! This person is insidious and cunning, his words cannot be trusted!"

"But Qiao Jian's words are unreasonable. The eldest son inherits the family business, and the second son can only help by the side. If you marry Chengyu less, you can live a better life..."

"Father, have you followed Qiao Jian's way?" Luo Feng was very puzzled by Master Luo's decision, "The third younger sister and Cheng Yi have admired each other for a long time, now you should make a beautiful couple instead of beating mandarin ducks, not to mention Brother Chengyu has no intention of getting married now, and after you force your third sister to marry him, life will be difficult for everyone, why are you bothering..."

Master Luo was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh, and told Luo Feng what he was thinking in his heart: "Feng'er, you have a family early so you don't need me to bother, but Shaoqing has reached the age where you must marry, and if you don't marry again, follow the rules. I will be punished by the law.

It is true that Cheng Yi is Shaoqing's best husband-in-law, but he is only 17 years old now, both of them are half-children, how can they take care of each other?

Besides, Master Xue knew what Cheng Yi meant for Shao Qing, but he didn't come to propose marriage. Maybe he was also thinking about it like me.Merchants value interests the most, and the marriage between the two families is not only about emotion but also about interests. "

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Master Luo, Luo Feng didn't say any more. The current Master Luo hadn't made a final decision yet. The two young masters of the Xue family were indeed dragons and phoenixes. It was normal for Master Luo to be indecisive between the two.

It's just that if an enviable marriage turned into a marriage of benefits in the end...it would be a pity.

Thinking of this, Luo Feng couldn't help but think of himself, he and the one he loved still couldn't be together in the end, and the one he loved married far away.

Even if I marry a woman who is very similar to that person in the future, I still can't find the feeling of heartbeat.He knew this kind of pain very well, and he didn't want his own sister to suffer it again.

"Since Dad has made a decision, I can't say more, but I still want to remind Dad, brother Cheng Yu has bad legs, is Dad really willing to let the third sister marry a cripple?"

As soon as these words came out, Master Luo immediately lowered his head and fell into silence.He did forget about Xue Chengyu's bad legs and feet, but it doesn't matter.
