Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

To be precise, it was a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a white jade belt around his waist and a purple gold crown on his head. He was commanding a dozen servants to surround Song Qian and the other two.

The young man first looked Song Qian up and down, with a look of satisfaction on his face. His gaze lingered on Li Mochou for a moment, and he made a clicking sound.

"Yes, two beauties, one big and one small."

His gaze finally stopped at Victoria Song, and he said with a smile, "I have seen countless women, but this is the first time I have met someone as stunning as you. I wonder if you are married?"

Victoria Song glanced at him with interest, "Don't you recognize me?"

The boy was stunned, "Should I know you?"

Song Qian recalled that she seemed to have some impression of this boy, but the impression was not deep. He seemed to be a bastard son of a marquis.

When Song Erni was in the imperial capital, this young man was probably only ten years old and not very noticeable. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for several years, he has grown into a qualified playboy.

This made her feel a little emotional. As the old generation is replaced by the new, there are still playboys every year, and they are all different from generation to generation!

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves neighing was heard in the distance. The next moment, a young captain wearing armor and a long sword on his waist jumped off his horse, grabbed the boy who was blocking Song Qian by the neck and lifted him up.

"Brother, what are you doing?!"

The young man was a little panicked. There were so many people watching, and he was being held hostage in public by his elder brother. How could he survive in the imperial capital in the future?

The young captain didn't hesitate and hit the boy twice with two big punches, which made the boy stunned. Then he turned around and looked at Victoria Song.

"I'm sorry that Miss Song didn't discipline him properly at home. I apologize to you on his behalf!"

Song Qian looked at him, a look of realization flashed across her face, and she smiled and said, "You are Liu...Liu what's your name?" from the Changqing Marquis family.

"Liu Qing, my name is Liu Qing!"

Victoria Song suddenly realized, "Yes, that's the name. I remember you teased me five years ago and I beat you up. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, you've become a lieutenant!"

Speaking of being beaten, Liu Qing was a little embarrassed, "That was all because I was young and ignorant..."

Victoria Song interrupted him, pointed at the young man, and said, "Is this man your brother?"

Liu Qing nodded.

"No wonder!" Song Qian said bluntly, "The Changqing Marquis family produces playboys. This can be said to be your family style."

Liu Qing felt even more embarrassed.

Changqing Hou Liu Wanhai is considered a big shot in the military. He is in charge of 300,000 Beijing troops and is a real powerful figure in the military.

It is said that a hero father will have a hero son, but in the Liu family, almost every son is a famous playboy in the imperial capital before his coming-of-age ceremony. It is said that Changqing Hou Liu Wanhai was also a famous playboy when he was young.

It is the tradition of the Liu family to be a playboy for a few years before joining the army.

If someone else dared to say this, Liu Qing would definitely not give up.

How can you defame someone's innocence in broad daylight?

But when facing Victoria Song, he didn't dare to show any temper at all.

Being badly beaten up by Victoria Song when he was young, he now has a psychological trauma when facing Sister Qian in the capital. This woman, although she looks beautiful, is really willing to beat you to death if she disagrees with you.

The key point is that it would be fine if they couldn't win, but even if it came to comparing family backgrounds, his Liu family wouldn't get the upper hand.

Among the military generals, although his father, Marquis Changqing, holds a high position and great power, Song Qian also has an extraordinary background and is backed by the Xuanyiwei family. Even the emperor would have to think twice before making any move against the Song family, let alone his Liu family.

Especially since this year, a rumor has been circulating in the imperial capital that the commander of the Xuanyi Guard, Ye Tian, ​​is about to retire, and the next commander will be Song Xuan, the eldest son of the Song family.

If this is true, then the power of the Song family will skyrocket, and it will be an existence that his Liu family cannot afford to offend.

At this critical moment, his stupid brother molested a girl in the street and even molested the eldest daughter of the Song family. If he had not discovered and stopped it in time, the Xuanyi Guards might have put the Liu family's plan of annihilation on the agenda.

"Since you've come forward, I won't make things difficult for you! Take your useless brother back and deal with him yourself!"

After returning to the imperial capital, Song Qian was in a good mood and had no intention of pursuing the matter. After all, Liu Qing was an old acquaintance of hers.

How can the person you beat up not be considered an old acquaintance?

Liu Qing quickly hailed a carriage and invited Song Qian and the other two to get in.

He was thirty years old, yet he was fawning in front of Victoria Song, "Sister Victoria, take care. I'll bring this good-for-nothing to your house to apologize some other day!"

When Song Qian wasn't smiling, she exuded a sense of dignity. She glanced at Liu Qing and his foolish brother with scrutiny and said calmly, "There's no need to apologize. Although being a playboy is a tradition in your family, you still have to be moderate in what you do."

If he goes beyond this limit, neither the law nor I, the Xuanyi Guard, will forgive him!

I will only say this once, I hope you will remember it!"

Chapter 320 I heard that Song Xuan hasn’t married yet, right?

Changqing Marquis Mansion.

Changqing Hou Liu Wanhai was sitting in the yard reading a book when he saw his eldest son hurriedly returning home carrying his youngest son, who was beaten with a black eye and a swollen nose.

Liu Wanhai frowned unhappily, "Liu Qing, when will you change your impatient temper?"

"Dad, my brother hit me for no reason!"

As soon as he saw his father, the youngest son Liu Hong started to complain with tears and snot.

He felt really wronged today.

What did he do? He didn't do anything!

Isn't it just flirting with a beautiful woman? Is that a big deal?

Compared with those second-generation men in the imperial capital who directly abducted women on the streets, Liu Hong could be considered a gentleman, but this elder brother beat him up without any reason.

Even if that woman had an extraordinary background, she wouldn't beat someone to death just for a few words, right?

Liu Wanhai glanced at his youngest son and ignored him. Instead, he looked directly at Liu Qing and asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Liu Qing said solemnly, "The Song family's daughter has returned to Beijing."

"Song family?" Liu Wanhai was stunned. "Which Song family are you talking about? The one in the Ministry of Personnel or the one in the Censorate?"

"Hereditary Black Guards, Song family!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Wanhai stood up immediately, "Song Qian is back? Did her brother come back with her?"

"I don't know!" Liu Qing shook his head, "I only saw Victoria Song. As for Song Xuan, I didn't see him."

Liu Wanhai pondered for a moment and said, "According to the intelligence we've gathered, Song Qian has been clinging to her brother since she was a child. Since she's returned to Beijing, Song Xuan is probably almost there too.

Coming back at this time, it seems the rumors in the imperial capital are true. If nothing unexpected happens, the position of commander of the Black Guard will most likely fall to this person."

Liu Wanhai paced back and forth in the yard, wondering what he was thinking about.

Suddenly, he turned to look at his youngest son standing to the side, his eyes instantly becoming stern. "Your eldest brother wouldn't hit you for no reason. Did you offend this brother and sister?"

"Father, you really have a keen eye!" Liu Qing sneered, "My little brother is really amazing. He surrounded the Song family's eldest daughter in the street and flirted with her in public.

If I hadn't arrived in time to beat him up and apologize, we would have been in big trouble today."

"That's true!"

Liu Wanhai's eyes flashed with a cold light. He kicked Liu Hong away and said angrily, "You are a jerk who can't do anything good but always makes trouble. My Liu family almost got wiped out because of you!"

He looked at Liu Qing with lingering fear, "You have done a good job on this matter. Although my Liu family is considered to be powerful in the court, it is not as good as the commander of the Xuanyi Guard.

By the way, after you apologized, what was Victoria Song's attitude?

Liu Qing recalled the situation at that time and said, "She and I are old acquaintances. She gave me face, and the matter was put behind us."

"Pity!"

Liu Wanhai felt a little regretful. "I gave you face this time, but the little friendship we had when we were young has been completely used up. It's a shame to waste it on Liu Hong."

As he spoke, he looked at his eldest son with some anticipation, "This Song family's legitimate daughter has never been married. Do you think you have a chance if you pursue her?"

Liu Qing laughed at himself, "Father, please don't joke around. I know exactly how much I weigh.

Apart from anything else, there are so many sons of dukes and marquises in the imperial capital who are eyeing Song Qian. I don’t think I have any hope.

Besides, I'm already married, and I can't divorce her and marry again!"

Liu Wanhai just mentioned it casually and had no intention of doing anything. He stopped talking about it and said, "Although Liu Hong caused trouble, it also gave my Liu family an opportunity to contact the Song family."

Liu Qing was stunned and asked tentatively, "What does father mean?"

Liu Wanhai smiled and said, "Break his legs, prepare a big gift, and go to the Song family to apologize tomorrow morning!"

“For a family like the Song family, it is a taboo in the court for a duke to visit without a proper reason.

But it’s different now. Hong’er did something wrong, and it’s reasonable for me, as his father, to go and apologize. No one can say anything.

There are so many families in the imperial capital who want to establish a relationship with the Song family, but they can't find a suitable reason. I didn't expect that such a good opportunity would fall upon my Liu family."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing showed admiration on his face.

When his younger brother got into trouble, he was extremely anxious, but his father was able to see opportunities in crises. This skill was something he could never learn.

"By the way!" Liu Wanhai changed the subject, "I heard that Song Xuan hasn't married yet, right?"

Liu Qing nodded, "Song Xuan is indeed unmarried."

Liu Wanhai said with a smile: "Your little sister is 28 years old and is ready to get married. It is a good match for my daughter of the Marquis to marry her.

You and Song Xuan are not much different in age, and it is easier to get along with young people. When you see him tomorrow, find an opportunity to sound him out.

If this is accomplished, it will protect the Liu family's century-old foundation. We cannot afford to be careless!"

Liu Qing hesitated for a moment and wanted to tell his father that Song Xuan was so young but had great cultivation and held a high position. What kind of woman could he not get?

Although his Changqing Marquis Mansion is impressive, it is not among the most powerful and influential people in the imperial capital. Even if they want to form an alliance through marriage, his Liu family does not have much chance.

After thinking for a while, he still didn't say anything to refute his father's opinion.

Just give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not, you have to give it a try. What if it succeeds?

The commander of the Xuanyi Guards became his brother-in-law. In the future, who would his Liu family have to fear in this imperial capital?

To put it bluntly, even if the emperor is passing on the throne, the opinion of the commander of the Xuanyi Guards must be considered!

In a few words, the father and son decided on the procedure for tomorrow's visit and the list of gifts for apology. As for Liu Hong, who was lying on the ground shivering, waiting to have his legs broken, neither of them cared about his opinion.

Who cares whether you want to break your leg or not? In the face of family interests, you have to break it even if you don’t want to!

......

After getting off the carriage, Victoria Song pushed open the door.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

The sound of having fun rang out in the Song family compound. Song Yuanshan, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of tea when he heard his daughter's loud voice.

"Your father is not deaf, there is no need to be so loud!"

Song Yuanshan has given up preaching to his daughter who is careless and has no image of a lady.

Let her do whatever she wants. Anyway, the family has enough food to eat from her. It's a hereditary golden rice bowl, so there's nothing to worry about.

Li Mochou followed behind Victoria Song, looking around cautiously and timidly.

On the way here by carriage, she heard passers-by whisper that everyone living in this area was a ruthless killer who killed without blinking an eye, and was the messenger of the King of Hell on earth.

Even though she knew this was her master's home, she still felt fear instinctively.

The master is careless and seems unreliable, and the reliable uncle-in-law is not here. The first feeling this place gives her is that she might be killed at any time!

Chapter 321 Song Yuanshan: I will take over your Lu family

Song Yuanshan's eyes only swept over Song Qian, ignoring Li Mochou, and finally fell on Xiaolongnu who was looking around curiously.

For a moment, Song Yuanshan was silent.

If Song Xuan were here, he would naturally understand that Old Song was calculating the date.

The next moment, a smile appeared on Old Song's face.

Fortunately, my daughter has only been away for less than three years, but this delicate little girl looks like she is four or five years old, so the dates don't match.

His heart almost stopped beating just now. Although he has let it go and no longer has high expectations for his children's marriage, he still cannot accept the idea of ​​getting pregnant before marriage.

"Who are these two?"

"They are my apprentices."

Victoria Song put her arm around Li Mochou's shoulders and said with a smile, "My eldest disciple Li Mochou, isn't she beautiful?"
