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

"What?" Lu Xiao was stunned. "How could this happen?"

He remembered that his father-in-law should have recognized the true face of Sun Xiucai's family long ago.

Back then, when he and Sheng Shulan hadn't yet married, his father-in-law was hesitant about his daughter's future husband.

After screening out most of the Youyang students he had sponsored, only Lu Xiao and Sun Xiucai remained.

Lu Xiao used a little trick to let his father-in-law see the true face of Sun Xiucai's family.

Finally, he chose Lu Xiao as his son-in-law.

However, Lu Xiao stopped paying attention to Sun Xiucai's family and didn't know what they were doing now.

The little girl gave Lu Xiao a fierce look, then said angrily, "Hmph, how dare you say that? It's all your fault."

Lu Xiao immediately became puzzled: "Blame me?"

The little girl nodded vigorously. "It's all your fault. Why are you so outstanding? My father got a good deal on my sister's marriage, so he wants to choose a husband like you for me. But there are only a few students in Youyang, and talented ones are even rarer."

"After hearing the news, that bastard Sun Xiucai came to our house so hard, pretending to my father that he had turned over a new leaf. In the end, I don't know what kind of magic potion he used to make my father agree. Fortunately, I was smart and ran away as soon as I heard the news. Otherwise, I might have really married that scoundrel Sun Xiucai."

"Brother-in-law, I don't care. You're the one who caused this. If you don't help me solve this, I'll rely on you in the future."

Seeing this girl like this, Lu Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile, then he asked.

"So you came to Bianjing secretly?"

The little girl said, "It's not like I ran away. I left a note for my father. When he saw it, he would know that I came to look for you."

"What if you don't see it?" Lu Xiao asked.

The little girl finally felt a little guilty: "No, no way?"

Why not?

If my father-in-law knew this girl came to Bian Jing to seek refuge with him, he would definitely send a letter to express his regards.

Normally, it only takes five days for a letter to travel from Youyang to Bianjing.

So Lu Xiao asked, "How many days did it take you to get there?"

The little girl said, "Seven days."

Well, her father-in-law must not have seen the note she left, otherwise the letter would have arrived long ago.

I guess Yuyang's family must have been worried about her pregnancy by now.

Lu Qun Liao Jiu Er Liu is Liu Qi VIIqI Er (Eight) Xiao couldn't help but sigh and said: "Alas, you are a girl coming to Bian Jing alone, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble on the road?"

While speaking, he walked to the table beside him, picked up the pen and ink and began to write.

After hearing his words, the little girl immediately said proudly, "Brother-in-law, although I am no match for you, since I have been practicing the Kung Fu you taught me, I am now very strong. Even if I encounter some ignorant guys, I can still protect myself."

OK, it’s my own pot again.

"If I had known you were so lawless, I wouldn't have taught you martial arts. Your parents-in-law must be worried about your pregnancy right now. You really are a source of worry."

After saying this, the letter is also written.

Then he shouted outside.

"Someone come here."

"Master, what are your instructions?"

The housekeeper came in immediately.

Lu Xiao handed over the letter and said, "Send this letter back to Youyang, expedite it, the sooner the better."

During this era, all official post stations had the business of delivering letters.[]

As long as you can afford it, we can send it to you 800 miles away.

Of course, you can't ask for 800-mile express delivery, but the speed is about the same.

If calculated this way, the letter can be sent back to Youyang in two days at most.

Two days later, at the Sheng family in Youyang.

Lu Xiao's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, was crying and complaining to Lu Xiao's father-in-law, Sheng Wei.

"It's all your fault. You told her nothing about marriage when she wasn't married. If she doesn't want to marry, then she doesn't have to. It's not like my Sheng family can't support our daughter. Look at it now. It's been almost ten days and there's still no news about Pinlan. If anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you."

Sheng Wei was filled with regret at this moment. "I didn't expect this to happen. Besides, I didn't intend to marry her off to Mr. Sun. It was her own misunderstanding."

Li continued to complain, "Humph, I didn't expect you to entertain Mr. Sun at home every now and then. It would be strange if Pinlan didn't misunderstand. That kid Lu Xiao told you a long time ago that Mr. Sun was not a good person, and you just forgot about it, didn't you?"

Sheng Wei said, "I know, but he's a scholar after all, and I couldn't be rude to him for coming to visit with gifts. Who knew he wouldn't stop coming? He keeps coming every now and then, and it's annoying. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told him on February 2.8th that I'd agree to the marriage if he could pass the imperial examination."

"Aren't you afraid he'll actually pass the exam?" Li asked.

Sheng Wei said, "I've already found out. Ever since he passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve, Mr. Sun hasn't studied sage books seriously. Now he's almost thirty, and his learning has been wasted. I'm afraid he's not even as good as some of the students at Youyang Academy, let alone the imperial examination. Even if he were to take the imperial examination again, he'd probably fail."

"Of course, even if something really happens and he gets lucky enough to pass the exam, we don't have to worry. He's a man who despises the poor and loves the rich. If he really becomes a juren, he probably won't look down on us Pinlan. This is just a verbal agreement, not a real engagement."

Okay, now I understand. It turns out Sheng Pinlan herself didn't understand the situation clearly and caused the misunderstanding.

If Lu Xiao knew about this, he would probably give his sister-in-law two chestnuts again.

Chapter 199 Jinming Pond

After hearing Sheng Wei's explanation, Li still looked dissatisfied.

"I don't care. You're the one who caused this. You have to find her now. Ten days, it's almost ten days. It's not peaceful out there right now. If something really happens to her, how am I going to survive? Woo woo woo~"

As she spoke, Li began to wail again.

Sheng Wei immediately said, "Keep your voice down. Mother doesn't know about this yet. It would be terrible if she heard."

Shulan's grandmother had been ill for many years. Although Lu Xiao had used his Qi to treat her when he was in Youyang, she could not withstand the extreme joy and sorrow.

If the old lady knew that Pinlan had been away from home for almost ten days without any news, she would definitely not be able to bear it.

The Sheng Wei couple had to arrange for someone to find their daughter while trying to keep the truth from the old lady for the past two days, and they were exhausted both physically and mentally.

When Li heard this, she immediately suppressed her crying and then she continued.

"How about we write a letter to Shulan? Lu Xiao is always full of ideas. He said there's no way to find Pinlan."

Sheng Wei shook his head without hesitation. "No, Lu Xiao just passed the provincial examination and will be taking the palace examination in a few days. We can't disturb him at this time. Besides, Bianjing is so far away from Youyang, what can he do?"

Li had just been desperately trying all sorts of remedies, so after hearing these 15 words, he finally nodded.

"Yes, yes, I am anxious. We cannot delay the child's future."

At this moment, a servant came running in from outside.

"Master, there's a letter from my son-in-law."

When Sheng Wei and his wife heard this, they immediately looked peculiar.

Before this, both sides had been exchanging letters once a month.

This month's mail was only delivered a few days ago, so it shouldn't have arrived this soon.

Sheng Wei hurriedly asked, "Could it be that this child encountered some difficulties in Bianjing? Quick, bring the letter over to me."

The servant immediately presented the letter.

When Sheng Wei opened the letter, a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.

He breathed a sigh of relief at first, then a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

After he finished reading the letter, Li next to him immediately asked anxiously.

"What's wrong? What happened? Is it possible that the children are short of money? Otherwise, I will ask someone to prepare some more silver and send it to them."

Sheng Wei shook his head and said, "No, Lu Xiao said that Pinlan ran to him and told us not to worry. He would bring Pinlan back after the palace examination."

When Li heard this, he stood up immediately.

"What! That damn girl actually ran off to Bian Jing! She's so bold! She's truly lawless!"

Listen, once he found out his daughter's whereabouts, he even called her "dead girl".

At this moment, the worries in the hearts of Sheng Wei and his wife disappeared, and only anger remained in their eyes.

I guess things will get worse after Sheng Pinlan comes back.

Another two days later.

Lu Mansion.

After reading the reply letter from his father-in-law, Lu Xiao said to Sheng Pinlan, who was sitting next to her with an expectant look on her face.

"Alright, my father-in-law already knows. You can just stay in Bianjing for the next few days. When my palace exam is over, we'll go back together."

When my sister-in-law heard this, she immediately shouted happily.

"Great! This time I'm going to have a great time in Bianjing."

Lu Xiao nodded and said, "We should have some fun. There's a polo match tomorrow, and I'll take you there to see the world. So, cherish this time. Your father-in-law is furious about you running away from home. You're doomed if you go back this time."

The excitement on my sister-in-law's face immediately disappeared.

After a while, she came to Lu Xiao with a flattering smile on her face, pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly.

"Brother-in-law, you will love me, right?"

Lu Xiao wasn't buying it at all. "Haha, pleading for mercy? That's wishful thinking. If you're capable of causing trouble, you should be capable of bearing the consequences. I really can't help you this time. Best wishes to you."

This girl must learn her lesson, otherwise, she might end up in hell.

The sister-in-law's face darkened, and she immediately shook off Lu Xiao's arm, saying, "Hmph, you're disloyal. I won't play with you anymore. I'm going to go play with Minglan."

After saying that, she ran out in a hurry.

These past few days, Lu Xiao also took this girl to the Sheng family to get acquainted with them.

Of course, it didn't say she ran away secretly.

After all, she is a girl, and it would be bad if the news of her running away from home got out.

However, this girl and Minglan got along very well. After just a few days, they had already become best friends.

The day passed quickly.

The next day, outside Xinzheng Gate in Bianjing City, beside Jinming Pond.

Today, the Jinming Lake is very lively.

Because Madam Wu of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion held a polo match here.

The scenery of Jinming Lake was already a unique one in Bianjing City, and coupled with the fame of Madam Wu, it immediately attracted most of the wives of officials and noble ladies in Bianjing City.

Of course, it's called a polo match, but in reality it's just a blind date for single men and women from different families.

Everyone in Bianjing knew this.

This is definitely a great thing for those who have children of school age at home.

Madam Wu is well-known and has helped many successful marriages.

At this moment, at the entrance of the horse farm, Lu Xiao was walking in with his wife and sister-in-law.

"Wow, brother-in-law, look, what a big grassland!"

As soon as she entered the horse farm, Sheng Pinlan looked around with surprise, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Naturally, a grassland of this size could not be found in a small place like Youyang.

That's why my sister-in-law was so surprised.

Lu Xiao put his hand on her head and pushed her away.

"Stay away from me. Don't act like an inexperienced person. I can't afford to lose face as your brother-in-law."

When the sister-in-law heard this, instead of moving away, she took a step forward and hugged Lu Xiao's arm.

"Humph, I won't. I've never seen the world, so what? I'm going to piss you off to death, piss you off to death, piss you off to death!"

Lu Xiao said helplessly, "Let go! You're not a child anymore, is it appropriate for you to be so pushy with me? If someone sees this, how will you get married in the future?"

The sister-in-law said without hesitation: "Then I won't get married. Who says women have to get married? From now on, I will cling to you and my sister, asking you to support me, and let my future nephew take care of me until the end of my life."

The tone was excellent.

Of course, she said that, but her hand had already loosened.
