Chapter 247: Chapter 125: Sister Miaoge, Why Don’t You Teach Huanhuan!_1
“Ancestor, I have no other requests; I just need to trouble you with one matter,”
Lu Changsheng paused slightly after hearing the words of the Lu Family Ancestor and spoke with a respectful bow.
A couple of days ago, after Lu Miaoyun had told him that her sister, Lu Miaoge, consented to marry him, he planned to go to Lu Yuanding to propose.
To take both sisters as his wives.
But when he was about to propose formally, Lu Changsheng felt stuck.
He somewhat didn’t know how to broach the subject.
After all, who ever proposes marriage by asking for two daughters of a family at once?
Even though Lu Changsheng’s face had thickened quite a bit, he truly did not know how to start the conversation with Lu Yuanding.
In the end, he decided, just as his wife Lu Miaoyun suggested, to ask the Lu Family Ancestor to bestow the marriage.
He and Lu Miaoge, as well as Lu Miaohuan, were mutually fond of each other.
So having the Lu Family Ancestor play matchmaker was quite in line with reason.
It would not involve anything forceful.
“Oh? You need my help?”
The Lu Family Ancestor was mildly surprised to hear that Lu Changsheng needed assistance from him.
He then said directly, “What is it? Speak freely.”
“I am fond of the Family Head’s daughter and would like to ask the Ancestor to play matchmaker for me,”
Lu Changsheng said with respect.
“Fond of Yuanding’s daughter?”
The Lu Family Ancestor smiled upon hearing this.
He thought it was some major issue.
He did not expect it to concern the affairs of young men and women.
But knowing about Lu Changsheng’s preference for marrying and having children, he felt reassured.
He cheerfully said, “Since there is mutual affection between you two, I will take on the task and play matchmaker for your marriage!”
“But I recall that Yuanding has two daughters; with which one are you mutually fond? Could it be Miaoge?”
The Lu Family Ancestor asked thus.
He did not meddle in family affairs,
but he was very clear about many things within the family.
He knew of Lu Yuanding’s two daughters,
especially Lu Miaoge, who was not only talented in cultivation but also a high-quality Talisman Master.
Lu Changsheng’s manner made him guess that Lu Changsheng wanted to marry Lu Miaoge.
“Uh, Ancestor, I am mutually fond with both daughters of the Family Head…”
Lu Changsheng said somewhat sheepishly.
“What, you are mutually fond of both of Yuanding’s daughters?”
The Lu Family Ancestor was taken aback upon hearing this.
He did not expect Lu Changsheng’s request for matchmaking involved not one,
but two.
To marry away both of Lu Yuanding’s daughters.
He instantly understood.
No wonder Lu Changsheng requested his help to play matchmaker instead of proposing himself.
If Lu Changsheng personally went to propose, declaring he wanted to marry both of Lu Yuanding’s daughters, not to mention being kicked out, but for sure Lu Yuanding would not give him a good expression.
“Fine, since there is mutual affection, I will play matchmaker for you,”
The Lu Family Ancestor didn’t say much more and simply agreed.
Setting aside that Lu Changsheng spoke of mutual affection,
even if there had been no mutual affection, so long as Lu Changsheng asked and his descendants did not oppose him,
he would be willing to match them with Lu Changsheng, a man of great destiny.
After all, Lu Changsheng was also one of the Lu Family’s own.
Marrying several Lu Family women was of no concern.
It wouldn’t only prevent talent from leaving the family,
but it would also bind Lu Changsheng even closer to the Lu Family and integrate him further into the family.
“Many thanks, Ancestor!”
Seeing the Lu Family Ancestor agree so readily, Lu Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief and bowed immediately in thanks.
“Hehe, no need for such formality,”
“Do you have any other matters? Don’t be shy, you may bring them up,”
The Lu Family Ancestor said to Lu Changsheng with a cheerful smile.
“Ancestor, I have no other matters,”
Lu Changsheng responded respectfully.
“Alright, since there are no other matters, then I will go and speak on your behalf,”
“As for whether it will be successful, I cannot guarantee,”
“Of course, if, as you say, there is mutual affection, there should not be any problem,”
The Lu Family Ancestor said.
He would not make such promises outright and guarantee success.
“I understand, thank you for the trouble, Ancestor,”
Lu Changsheng said as he bowed.
He had asked about Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan,
it was just that he simply didn’t dare to face Lu Yuanding, his future father-in-law.
Afterward, the Lu Family Ancestor did not stay long and said a few words before departing.
Lu Changsheng saw him off with great respect.
“Husband, did you mention the matter of Sister Miaoge and Miaohuan to the Ancestor just now?”
After Lu Changsheng had seen off the Lu Family Ancestor, Lu Miaoyun stepped forward and asked.
She had already thought it through; if Lu Changsheng truly couldn’t broach the subject,
she would trouble the Fourth Elder,
to have the Fourth Elder speak on behalf of Lu Changsheng.
“The Ancestor has already agreed,”
Lu Changsheng nodded and did not hide it.
He also shared the reward the Lu Family Ancestor had given him.
“A hundred mu of spirit farmland, a shop and a cave dwelling in Red Leaf Valley Market!”
Lu Miaoyun was startled upon hearing about the reward, her mouth slightly agape in surprise.
Because the reward was quite substantial.
A hundred mu of spirit farmland, even if used to grow the most ordinary Spirit Rice,
after deducting for seeds, fertilizers, and the like, leaving everything else to spirit farmers to manage, would yield over a thousand Spirit Stones a year.
A thousand Spirit Stones a year was no small income wherever one might be.
Even for the current Lu Changsheng, it represented a significant income,
which would also greatly lighten his burden in raising children.
And once Red Leaf Valley Market was established and bustling, the shop and cave dwelling would also bring in a handsome income each year.
So it was not an exaggeration to say that the Lu Family Ancestor’s reward was generous.
However, Lu Changsheng only realized the specific value of the hundred mu of spirit farmland after hearing Lu Miaoyun’s explanation,
because he had not cultivated spirit land before.
He was not aware of the concept behind a hundred mu of spirit farmland.
“Does this mean, from now on, I could also live off collecting rent?”
