墨書 Inktalez
"General Lu Mansion being interested in our small county magistrate family is our family's blessing, and also your blessing. Don't be ungrateful for your good fortune!" said Luanxiao's stepmother. As soon as she finished speaking, her own daughter chimed in, "That's right, big sister. You don't even know how much effort mother put into finding you such a good marriage."
"Is that so? Since this marriage is so good, then I'll give it to my sister. Tomorrow, you can get married in my place," Luanxiao sneered, looking coldly at the mother and daughter in front of her.
"Outrageous! Since ancient times, parents have always had the final say in their children's marriages. We decide who you marry! Do you think the Lu family would want you if this didn't happen?" Her father, upon hearing Luanxiao's words, suddenly became furious, pounding the table as he spoke.
"Don't think I don't know that you're just unwilling to sacrifice Second younger sister, so you let me become a widow!" Since our mother passed away, Luanxiao has been sent to the countryside to live. There's no love lost between me and my father, so naturally I speak without courtesy.
Luanxiao is about to marry into the the Lu family family, which is renowned for its influence, having served since the time of the former emperor up to the current one. The Brigadier General of the Lu family is even more famous, excelling in both literary and military arts, and possessing extensive knowledge of military strategy and divination.
It is said that six months ago, this Brigadier General fell into a coma after being poisoned on the battlefield. His grandfather, Master Lu, heard from somewhere that the daughter of the county magistrate has an exceptional destiny that could potentially awaken his grandson.
So Master Lu sent someone to the county magistrate's mansion to propose a marriage. To put it plainly, this was actually a wedding procession. Everyone understood that if the procession didn't go well, the bride would end up with the reputation of being hard to please. The next day, the wedding procession was grand and lively, with loud music and crowds of onlookers lining the streets, creating a spectacular scene.
"This scene is just as grand as a prince's wedding!"
"Of course, this is the wedding of Brigadier General Lu!"
The people on the street were discussing animatedly.
The welcoming procession, accompanied by suona music, arrived at the gate of the county magistrate residence. "I am Linghua, the deputy to Brigadier General," a young man in armor said to the father of Luanxiao. Before the father could respond, a voice from behind said, "Let's go, we'll miss the auspicious time if we delay any longer."
At some point, Luanxiao, dressed in a wedding gown, appeared silently behind them. Without even batting an eyelid or covering her red veil, she walked straight into the bridal sedan.
"That darn girl! I..." the father raised his hand as if to chase after her.
"Now that she is the young lady of the general's manor, I have the duty to ensure her safety on behalf of the Brigadier General. Goodbye!" Linghua intervened, then turned and left. Luanxiao's father dared not speak in anger and could only smile and see them off.
Luanxiao Sitting in the sedan chair, taking a rest, not caring about what's happening outside the sedan chair, constantly thinking about the illness of Lu Yichen that she secretly found out before. It is said that Lu Yichen got injured in the head on the battlefield, has been lying in a vegetative state for half a year. With her medical skills, saving him shouldn't be a problem, but she still needs to see him in person to confirm.
The wedding procession returned to General Lu's residence with a lively clamor. Master Lu was a veteran of three dynasties, renowned not only for his military achievements but also for having students spread throughout the country, with half of the officials in the court being his disciples. However, none of this compared to his greatest pride in life: his grandson, Lu Yichen. Gifted with extraordinary intelligence from a young age, he could compose verses at the age of three and astonished the court at five with an essay on governance. By eight, he became the president of the National Academy, and at sixteen, faced with national crisis, he set aside his pen to take up arms.
During the First World War, Lu Yichen led 20,000 elite soldiers to confront an enemy force of 200,000, ultimately achieving a resounding victory and gaining fame from this battle. Afterwards, he reclaimed the borderlands, defeated the Xiongnu, expanded the territory, and was revered by the people as the "God of War." The army he led was invincible, sweeping all before them.
When he suddenly suffered a severe injury and fell into a coma, Master Lu was frantic, seeking renowned doctors to no avail.
"Madam, please get out of the sedan. The master is waiting for you in the study," the steward said as he approached the sedan.
"Let's go," Luanxiao opened the sedan door.
"You, it's better to cover yourself with a red veil," the steward, though respectful on the surface, was already displeased to see her like this.
"Stop the nonsense and lead the way!"
Luanxiao The steward could only keep quiet in the face of the fierce appearance. Study. "Master, the young madam has arrived," the steward went to report. "Let her in!"
Master Lu Putting down the pen, looking up, "Your name is Luan, right?"
" Luanxiao "
"Good name. Now that Yichen is like this, you can't get married. I'm sorry for you."
"It's okay." Master Lu had just finished speaking when Luanxiao nonchalantly said.
This remark immediately caught Master Lu's attention. With a lifetime of experience in reading people, he could tell from Luanxiao's behavior that she possessed an extraordinary breadth of mind and demeanor that most people did not have.
"Grandfather, I want to go see Lu Yichen. I'll take my leave now," Luanxiao broke the moment of silence and then turned to leave.
"Take her there," Master Lu instructed the butler. It was clear that he was not displeased with Luanxiao's actions.
On the way to Lu Yichen's room, the butler, fearing that this fierce and uncouth young lady might not take good care of Brigadier General, kept talking incessantly, "Madam, Brigadier General is very clean. He needs to be wiped and changed every day." "Brigadier General's diet needs special attention. He can only have liquid food, not too hot, not too cold, and easy to swallow." "Madam..."
"Steward, I'm going to take Lu Yichen for a medical check-up next. No one is allowed to disturb." Just as she reached the door of Lu Yichen's room, Luanxiao said, then "slam" shut the door, leaving the steward outside feeling at a loss. "This,," The steward pondered for a while, then decided to inform Master Lu.
Indoors
Luanxiao Looking at the man on the bed, his face shows the signs of years of battle, yet it cannot hide the precise and distinct features of his facial contours. His clothes are neat and without a single wrinkle, indicating careful care.
Then she felt his pulse, and her expression became serious. She reached for his nose, "He's breathing but has no pulse. He's indeed been cursed."
At this moment, the steward rushed in with Master Lu.
"Why are you here? Didn't I say not to disturb me when I'm seeing a patient?" Luanxiao scolded.
"Enough," the steward was about to speak but was stopped by Master Lu.
"You can still see patients? What have you found?" Master Lu sat down on the chair opposite the bed.
"Grandfather, Lu Yichen is not sick, he's under a curse, so ordinary methods won't cure him. When I was in the countryside, I inadvertently saved an old man's life, and since then, this old man has been teaching me medicine every day. Among them, he taught me the art of dispelling curses. Give me three days, and I can save Lu Yichen's life!"
"Okay, okay!" Master Lu After listening to her words, he stood up from the chair excitedly, his hand trembling as he leaned on the cane.
