Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

But today everyone is blushing in vain.

Everyone rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were dazzled.

After a long while, Minglan, who was most familiar with Lu Xiao, couldn't help but ask.

"Brother-in-law, are you a god?"

Not bad, much better than last time.

Last time she said she was not human.

Chapter 197 Proposal

After hearing Minglan's words, Lu Qiqi laughed.

"Don't be so surprised, this is just a Taoist technique, used to treat illnesses. It's not some magical method."

During this era, the Song Dynasty highly respected Taoism.

Therefore, any strange behavior can be attributed to Taoism.

No one will disbelieve it.

But even so, the shock on everyone's faces did not diminish in the slightest.

Sheng Quan couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that my dear nephew, you actually mastered such a magical method. No wonder you can even... "

Having said this, he immediately stopped talking.

As a qualified minister, you shouldn't gossip about the emperor behind his back.

Whether it is good or bad, you should always be careful in what you say and do.

After treating Sheng Hualan, everyone started chatting again.

No one doubted the effectiveness of Lu Xiao's treatment.

After all, his methods were too miraculous.

When the time was almost up, Lu Xiao suddenly said to Sheng Quan.

"Uncle, I have some personal matters I want to discuss with Second Grandmother. Please be kind enough to help me."

Although Sheng Quan was puzzled, he just owed Lu Xiao two favors.

Naturally, I won't refuse at this moment.

So he said directly: "Okay, then we'll go to the inner hall and wait for you. It's almost time for dinner, so you can go back after we eat."

Lu Xiao nodded: "Okay, sorry to bother you, uncle."

Afterwards, Sheng Quan stood up and led the others out of Shou'an Hall.

At this moment, only Lu Xiao, Sheng Shulan, and Old Madam Sheng were left in the room.

The old lady was also very curious at this time, so she asked.

"Child, what do you want to tell me?"

Lu Xiao didn't like to be long-winded, so he got straight to the point: "To be honest, Second Grandmother, when I first came to the Sheng family, I fell in love with Sixth Sister at first sight. So today, I'm boldly asking Second Grandmother for your permission to marry Sixth Sister to me."

His main purpose today was to propose marriage.

If you want to marry Minglan, Old Lady Sheng is the hardest hurdle to overcome.

If she disagrees, even an imperial decree will be of no use.

After all, officials also want to save face.

It is impossible to force a minister to marry his daughter.

Even if they were to grant an imperial decree for the marriage, they would definitely ask the Sheng family's opinion first.

Lu Xiao wasn't worried at all about Sheng Quan and Madam Wang.

Given his performance today, the two of them would only applaud him.

Sheng Quan is concerned about his future, while Madam Wang is concerned about her own reputation.

Lu Xiao gave them both of these things.

And it's definitely much more than they want.

But Old Lady Sheng is different.

It's impossible to use power to suppress her.

Lu Xiao wanted to marry the other person's granddaughter, not to make an enemy of him.

Therefore, no matter what, this matter must be informed to Old Lady Sheng first.

When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she was stunned.

After a while, he asked, "Do you want me, Ming, to be your concubine?"

It's clear that she's not very happy at the moment.

If Lu Xiao hadn't helped the Sheng family twice.

It is estimated that the old lady had already started to chase people away when he said that just now.

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "She's not a concubine, she's a co-wife."

After hearing the word "equal wife", the old lady's expression improved a lot.

Then she glanced at Shulan and asked, "Shulan, do you know about this?"

Shulan nodded: "I know, that's exactly what I meant."

The old lady rolled her eyes at her and said, "You're quite careless. Aren't you afraid that this kid will find you a formidable rival in the future?"

Shulan smiled slightly and said, "I believe in my husband."

The old lady shook her head helplessly.

Well, she finally realized that this couple came today just for her baby Minglan.

After thinking for a moment, Old Lady Sheng said to Lu Xiao.

"Given your character and talent, if you weren't married yet, I would have agreed to this without hesitation. But now is different. Although you want to marry Minglan as your co-wife, the concept of a co-wife is just a folk tale. Legally, it's no different from a concubine. This matter concerns Minglan's life, after all. I can't bet her future on your character. After all, people can change. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Xiao naturally understood that the old lady was worried that he would change his mind in the future.

And once he changed his mind, Minglan's situation in his family would be no different from that of a concubine.

After all, the law does not protect the co-wife.

Lu Xiao immediately said, "I know you're worried, so I've already secured a promise from the Emperor. After I pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer, the Emperor will personally issue an imperial decree to arrange my marriage. The word 'equal wife' will be written into the decree. This is a solemn promise, and I will honor it even if it's legally binding."

In this era, the imperial edict is the highest legal principle.

After hearing this, Old Lady Sheng was speechless. She pointed at Lu Xiao for a long time before speaking.

"You've thought it through. The emperor actually agreed to such an absurd thing. Yin Linqi Siqi Temple 6, he really is very kind to you."

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "The emperor was reluctant at first, but he finally agreed after losing a bet to a younger generation."

Then he continued.

"I'm not saying all this to pressure you with my official title. I just want to tell you that I truly love Sixth Sister. If she marries me, I will never let her suffer any injustice. You know Shulan's personality well, and she would never bully me. I hope Second Grandmother will grant my wish."

Old Madam Sheng shook her head and said, "Alright, I see. You've even alarmed the emperor. It's clear you won't give up until you marry Mingming. I truly love this child. Well, I won't stop you on this matter, but you'll have to figure out how to deal with Mingming yourself. I know her personality: gentle on the outside, but strong on the inside. If you try to use force on her, it will definitely backfire."

Lu Xiao immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Grandmother, for your help. Don't worry about Sixth Sister. I have my own way to impress her."

After spending several months together, Lu Xiao could tell from Sheng Xiaoliu's eyes that she had feelings for him.

Therefore, Lu Xiao was confident in defeating the opponent.

He planned to confront the other party at Madam Wu's polo match in two days.

"Okay, as long as Ming girl agrees, I will agree."

Mrs. Sheng said immediately.

After hearing this, Lu Xiao finally felt relieved.

Sheng Xiaoliu was destined to be unable to escape.

At this moment, the protagonist of the topic at Shou'an Hall was busy in the kitchen.

"Give me some more pepper. My brother-in-law loves spicy food, so I need to add more pepper."

To satisfy Lu Xiao's taste, Sheng Xiaoliu planned to use his best skills today.

Finally, after half an hour, she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

I looked at the four delicious dishes that had just come out of the pot with great satisfaction.

Lu Xiao will definitely enjoy the Sheng Mansion dinner this time.

When I returned to the Lu family, it was almost midnight.

However, Lu Xiao never expected that an "uninvited guest" would come to his house today.

Just as he and his wife entered the room, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the side.

The dark figure held a spear in his hand.

It stabbed directly at Lu Xiao's face.

Seeing the spear coming, Lu Xiao immediately slapped it with his palm.

The spear instantly broke into pieces and scattered.

Then he changed his palm into a claw and grabbed the black shadow.

Chapter 198 Sister-in-law

Lu Xiao moved swiftly, grabbing the black figure's collar in a flash and then lifting her up.

Then he stretched out his left hand, knocked the other person on the head, and asked angrily.

"Why did you come to Bianjing? Does your father-in-law know?"

At this moment, the dark shadow has revealed its true face.

She was a yellow-haired girl who looked about the same age as Sheng Xiaoliu.

Sheng Shulan, who was standing next to Lu Xiao, also showed a look of surprise.

The girl covered her head and screamed.

"Ouch, it hurts."

Then she shouted at Sheng Shulan: "Sister, look, my brother-in-law is bullying me again."

Sheng Shulan smiled and said, "You deserve it. Who told you to attack your brother-in-law first?"

This person is Sheng Shulan's younger sister, Sheng Pinlan, Lu Xiao's sister-in-law.

Lu Xiao's sister-in-law is a mischievous girl who prefers weapons to red clothes.

Since childhood, he has always been fond of swordplay, gunplay, horseback riding and archery.

Ever since she knew that Lu Xiao was skilled in martial arts, she loved to spar with him from time to time when she was in Youyang.

Of course, he lost miserably every time, and eventually developed a habit of attacking Lu Xiao whenever he met him.

Judging from her appearance, she must have been waiting for them for a long time.

However, Lu Xiao was very puzzled. Youyang wasn't close to Bianjing, so how did this girl get here?

My father-in-law didn't mention this when he sent me the letter.

Sheng Pinlan pretended to be pitiful and shouted.

"Oh, no, no, no, it's not fair for you two to bully me."

After saying this, he broke free from Lu Xiao's grasp and ran towards the courtyard.

Lu Xiao and the other man smiled at each other and then walked inside.

After reaching the inner room, he called the little girl to his side and asked again.

"Why did you come to Bianjing?"

The little girl pouted and cried out, "Wow, brother-in-law, you have to help me. My father is bullying me and wants to marry me off to Mr. Sun. I don't want to marry that scoundrel, so I have no choice but to come to Bianjing to seek refuge with you."
