Chapter 88 Brother, look what I have planned for you

The banquet for the Fourth Prince ended, and Lu Zhanxing was delighted to gain a close friend.

Except for the guests at the same table with them, no one else knew that they had the same bad taste just because they thought they were good-looking.

Lu Zhanxing also agreed to take Yan Xiao to the pleasure boat for fun.

Then Lu Zhanxing asked the Princess of Yan who she fell in love with at the banquet?

Yan Xiao said it hasn’t been confirmed yet.

So, Lu Zhanxing excitedly helped him with advice.

Lu Zhanxing remembered that his brother had snatched the marriage between the second son of the Marquis Xuanping and Princess Yaoguang, so he might as well return the marriage to him.

Yan Xiao originally had his eyes on Lu Zhanyan, but he had already been engaged. When he heard Lu Zhanxing talk about Zhao Ningxiu, the second son of Marquis Xuanping, and learned that he was a good person and had good looks, he asked Lu Zhanxing to act as a matchmaker to see if his sister would like him.

It doesn’t matter who she marries. What’s important is the marriage between the two countries. Although Yan was defeated, it is not something that Qian can occupy. Yan just doesn’t want to start a war, otherwise it’s not certain who will win or lose.

Emperor Qian naturally knew this and agreed to the two countries to sign a peace treaty. Emperor Yan was interested in an alliance, so Emperor Qian naturally had to take the Yan princess's preferences into consideration.

Seeing that Yan Xiao asked him to be a matchmaker, Lu Zhanxing became excited. He didn't expect that attending a banquet hosted by a disgusting person would yield such a reward.

Marquis Xuanping's family had been on a downward spiral because there were no outstanding sons in the family. By the generation of Marquis Xuanping's legitimate son, he was about to be demoted to an earl. In the book, it was because of Princess Yaoguang's support that Marquis Xuanping rose again.

This time, if the Xuanping Marquis Mansion rises because of my matchmaking, wouldn’t the Xuanping Marquis Mansion owe me a favor?

Yan Yin is happy to have a husband, so she shouldn’t thank herself, right?

Plus, since Yan Xiao and I have become good friends, then this help...hahaha, belongs to our Anguo Mansion.

Brother, brother, look what I have planned for you?

The next day, Lu Zhanxing enthusiastically sent a letter to Zhao Ningxiu, the second son of the Marquis of Xuanping, inviting him to go hunting the next day.

Lu Zhanxing quite liked the villa that Lin Tao took them to last time. It was surrounded by mountains and water, which was very nice, so he made an appointment with Yu Wei, Sun Qiming, and Lin Tao.

He was also afraid that Princess Yanyin would feel uncomfortable living alone, so he brought his third sister and new cousin along.

In addition, there were many mountains and forests, and there were female relatives, so Lu Zhanxing was afraid that someone would get hurt, so he decided to bring his concubine Liu Xu with him.

Zhao Ningxiu was very surprised when he received the invitation. The second son of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion would actually invite him?

Although they are both playboys, they are not very familiar with each other, right?

After all, there was a huge gap between the two families' backgrounds, and each had his own circle. As the second son of a declining marquisate, he had no right to make friends with Mr. Lu.

However, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion was a great family with great founding contributions, and it was not bad to be able to make friends with Lu Zhanxing, so he accepted it.

The next day, Lu Zhanxing was ready and set off with Liu Xu, his third sister Lu Xifei, and his new cousin Luo Qiuyu.

He and Bai Jing both rode horses, so Lu Tong could only act as a coachman.

Many noble ladies in the capital invited Princess Yan to attend banquets, but she refused them all, claiming that she did not like these festivals.

The prince and princess of Yan secretly left the inn.

Although they are princes and princesses, there are still ministers who follow them to keep an eye on them, so they dare not act recklessly.

He asked his personal maids and attendants to pretend that they were resting in the room and conceal the fact that they had gone out.

The group gathered outside the city. Princess Yanyin got into the carriage of the Duke of Anguo's mansion and chatted with several female relatives in the carriage.

The other men then rode on horses to protect the carriage.

Yan Yin secretly rolled up the carriage curtain to peek at Zhao Ningxiu, who was tall and handsome. Although he was not as good as the third brother and the brothers Lu Zhanyan and Lu Zhanxing, he was also handsome. So she asked Lu Xifei shyly, "Sister Fei, what kind of person is Mr. Zhao?"

Lu Xifei had long known that her brother wanted to bring Princess Yanyin and Zhao Ningxiu together, so she told him what he had told her: "He, like my brother, is a playboy, but I heard that he likes to travel and often goes out to travel, and has a lot of experience."

"If he's so nice, why didn't he propose marriage?"

"He often travels, so I'm afraid he hasn't had time yet. But I heard that Lady Xuanping Hou is already looking for someone for him."

Lu Xifei did not exaggerate. She just told Yan Yin the news she knew. Whether Yan Yin liked it or not was her own business. She and her brother just gave them a chance to meet each other.

Lu Zhanxing also had the same idea. Whether they could be in love depended on their own fate. Whether Zhao Ningxiu could seize the opportunity depended on himself.

Yan Yin was also curious about Zhao Ningxiu, so she also wore men's clothes and rode a horse alongside Zhao Ningxiu: "I heard that you are always traveling outside. Is it fun outside?"

After seeing the Princess of Yan, Zhao Ningxiu knew that this was a blessing from Lu Zhanxing.

If he really married the Princess of Yan, the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion would no longer fall into decline, and it might even rise again. This favor was too great, and he didn't want to miss it.

So he also tried his best to tell Yan Yin about the interesting things he encountered during his travels. Yan Yin was innocent and liked to listen to these interesting stories. When she heard the thrilling parts, she would clap and scream excitedly. Seeing that he successfully resolved the crisis, she was happy for him. The two had a great chat.

Lu Zhanxing and Yan Xiao were riding side by side in front. Seeing the two people behind them talking happily, they looked at each other and smiled.

Little did he know that Lin Tao, who was following him, kept staring at the carriage. He knew that inside were Lu Shao, his divorced third sister, and his new cousin who had come to seek refuge with him.

His own marriage was blocked, and if he could marry any one of them, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

At this time, Lu Xifei lifted the curtain to get some fresh air, but she didn't expect to meet a pair of small eyes. Lin Tao was also caught off guard and looked at the beauty. He was so scared that he lost his balance and almost fell off the horse. He hurriedly hugged the horse's neck, panicking.

When Lin Tao's followers saw their young master's useless appearance, they quickly turned their eyes away and could not bear to look at him any longer.

Lin Tao's funny look made Lu Xifei chuckle, but she felt that she was being rude, so she pursed her lips and smiled, then lowered the curtain. If she remembered correctly, he was A-di's good friend. Although he didn't suit her aesthetic taste, he looked quite likable.

Lin Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the beauty let down the curtain, but after sitting up straight, he felt extremely embarrassed again.

However, Mr. Lu’s sister is so beautiful!

Feng Chengyu was willing to give up such a beautiful person. If it were him, he would have loved such a beauty to his heart's content.

Alas, I don’t know whether the Third Miss will look down on me, the son of a merchant.

Lu Zhanxing didn't know that she regarded Lin Tao as a good friend, but he wanted to be her brother-in-law!
