Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1531

Chapter 1531: Chapter 1526: Military Cudgel

"I am also entrusted by someone, you should know how many sons Commandant Lu’s family has. Speaking of Lu Yuanpeng... although he was quite a playboy in the Capital before, since joining the Bai family army, he has repeatedly earned military honors and even gained the emperor’s favor!" Lu Jin praised Lu Yuanpeng with a smile, "I heard that the third wife of Commandant Lu’s family... Lu Yuanpeng’s mother, saw your eldest daughter at Master Tan’s birthday banquet and found her very composed. She thought she would complement the lively grandson of Commandant Lu’s family. So... Commandant Lu noticed that we can exchange a few words daily and sent me to sound you out."

Wei Bugong’s daughter is the legitimate eldest daughter of the family, and she will have her coming-of-age ceremony in a month. Just as the third wife of the Lu family said, the eldest young lady of their family is indeed very composed and steady in temperament, probably due to being the legitimate eldest sister, she holds a certain authority among her siblings.

Though Lu Yuanpeng is a playboy, he is, after all, Commandant Lu’s legitimate grandson, the sixth young master of the Lu family!

This Chief of Staff, Wei Bugong, was specially promoted by their emperor. To be honest... the family background compared to the Lu family is simply worlds apart, definitely not a match for the Lu family!

Seeing Wei Bugong not fully gathered his thoughts yet, Lu Jin could guess what Wei Bugong was thinking. After all, Wei Bugong never liked to aim high, which is why Commandant Lu valued him.

"After you return, discuss it with your wife properly. I’ll send my wife to visit your wife on a later day. Regardless of what decision you both make, it’s not a big deal. Commandant Lu said... aware of his little grandson’s previous poor reputation, he also wants to know the child’s thoughts. He doesn’t want to create a resentful couple due to parental orders or matchmaking words; that would be his fault!" Lu Jin chuckled, delivering the whole message.

Actually, the meaning of Commandant Lu is very clear. This marriage requires not only Wei Bugong’s consent but also that of Wei Bugong’s legitimate eldest daughter to be valid.

"But this... I’ve heard in Prime Minister Lu’s family, the fourth and fifth young masters haven’t even been proposed to yet. Why jump over these two young masters to plan a marriage for the youngest?" Wei Bugong, recalling the most outstanding Lu fourth young master, Lu Yuanqing, quickly added to prevent misunderstandings with Lu Jin, "I have no intention of aiming high for Lu Yuanqing, it’s just... a bit curious."

"I know your nature!" Lu Jin adjusted his large cloak, sighed, and said, "That Lu Yuanqing is without a doubt, while the fifth young master, although an illegitimate son, never stands out or causes trouble in Dadu City, only this Lu Yuanpeng... troubles Commandant Lu! Naturally, Commandant Lu is more concerned about him!"

Wei Bugong nodded: "Honored that Commandant Lu does not look down on our family’s lower status, I’ll go back and ask my wife and daughter what they think."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin smiled broadly, cupped his hands towards Wei Bugong, and said in a lower voice, "If this matter is settled, don’t forget to invite this humble one to thank me with matchmaker’s wine, Master Wei!"

Ever since Gaoyi Wang Bai Jinzhi returned with the Bai family army, the third wife of the Bai family, Mrs. Li, began secretly arranging the marriage of Gaoyi Wang Bai Jinzhi, prompting other families to start arranging their own children’s marriages.

Commandant Lu knew his son Lu Yuanqing wouldn’t worry about marriage, and there’s news about the illegitimate son’s marriage as well. Naturally, Commandant Lu would be biased towards his youngest legitimate grandson, Lu Yuanpeng, since little six has yet to find anyone interested, and compared to his elder brother Lu Yuanqing, the gap is indeed pitifully wide.

Unaware that his grandfather had arranged a lifelong commitment for him, Lu Yuanpeng was drinking and bragging with his old pals in the restaurant, boasting about his exploits on the battlefield and how weak the Dongyi were, swinging his sword until his arm was tired.

Naturally, Lu Yuanpeng did not forget to boast about how valiant and strategic their emperor was.

Sima Ping, with a cup in hand, sat haphazardly against the open window, watching Lu Yuanpeng inside speak eloquently like a story-teller, seemingly slightly tipsy, inevitably recalling his own mother’s talks of arranging a marriage...

Sima Ping said that, given the Sima family’s current situation, it wasn’t suitable to discuss marriage. The high-ranking families might not consider the Sima family, and his mother wouldn’t be willing for low-ranking ones either.
