Chapter 133 General's Mansion 4
Zhou Leping didn't know what to do with such words and attitude. He came out of his sister's room holding clothes, feeling even more anxious. After thinking for a while, he walked towards his mother's room.
"Mother, please make the decision and find another marriage for my sister!"
Zhou's mother was a little annoyed by her son's pestering, so she pushed the tough guy away from her: "It's only three or four months away from the draft. Do you think it's that easy to arrange a marriage? How can you find a suitable man in such a short time? Not to mention the engagement. Do you think I am a god, your mother?"
"So, are you just going to watch your cousin participate in the talent show?"
"Don't make a fuss, I'm also trying to find a solution!"
Zhou Leping was so anxious that he turned around and thought: "Why not let my cousin get engaged to me first, and then I can back out later."
Because of her son's words, Zhou's mother almost spit out a mouthful of tea, picked up the teacup and threw it at her son: "What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard! Why are you making trouble, you young boy who has not even reached adulthood? You want to get engaged, but does Shuyi agree?"
When General Zhou came back from court and heard his wife talking about this matter, he was so angry that he beat Zhou Leping with a few more strokes of the cane.
This led to Zhou Leping taking a day off. When he went to school the next day, he was limping and had to carry a cushion with him.
This caused other students in the class to laugh at him.
"See, this is his punishment for provoking Gu Er. He got beaten by Daddy!"
"Zhou Leping really doesn't know himself. He usually relies on his pretty face to win praises from the ladies, but he really doesn't know his real name! He even dared to provoke the young master of the Gu family. The father of this Gu Er is the Minister of Rites, and his mother is the emperor's sister, a princess! How dare he, the son of a mere general, provoke the royal family?"
Hearing these words, Gu Er raised his eyebrows and snorted. He turned his head to look at Zhou Leping, who was lying on the table with a sluggish look, and then the corners of his mouth raised an arc: Zhou Leping, this is the price you pay for offending me! The gap between us cannot be filled by your father killing a few people on the battlefield.
Zhou Leping, lying on the table, listened to the provocative words of those people, but he had no mood to argue. His mind was already full of his sister's affairs, so he didn't think about these insignificant people around him.
Oh, right, these people around here!
Zhou Leping turned his attention to his classmates. Those who could come here to study were either very smart or had a distinguished family. It would not be wrong to look for them among them.
Zhou Leping thought about each of his classmates. This one wouldn't do, because they were too cowardly. This one wouldn't do, because their family rules were too strict. This one wouldn't do, because their family situation was complicated and they had a mother who couldn't make sense.
After thinking about it for a whole class, I couldn't find a reliable one. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that it's really hard to find a good man like him in the world.
Just as he was worrying, Ding Kang, a classmate who was good at chatting with him, came over and said, "Mr. Zhou, I heard that your father beat you up badly. Even the night watchmen on the street outside heard your screams. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it was so miserable."
Faced with his friend's despicable remarks, Zhou Leping did not get angry as usual. Instead, he stared at Ding Kang for a long time.
Ding Kang's family has a title, his father is famous for being fair, he has only one wife in the house, and no other entangled family relationships. Well, it's a good choice. Moreover, Ding Kang seems to have an older brother who has achieved fame but has not yet married.
Zhou Leping's mind instantly became active. He couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Ding Kang.
Ding Kang didn't wait for Zhou Leping's counterattack. Instead, he saw his sinister smile and couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end.
"Le Ping, why are you looking at me like that? You didn't get beaten up because of me. I was also punished by my father when I got back. You can't retaliate against me just because of a few words you said just now."
"Stop talking nonsense." Zhou Leping pulled Ding Kang's arm forward, leaned close to his ear, and asked quietly: "Does your brother have a crush on someone?"
Ding Kang thought Zhou Leping was going to talk about his plan to take revenge on Gu Er, but he didn't expect to hear such a sentence out of the blue. He didn't understand what was going on and shook his head blankly: "No, no! What do you want to do!"
Zhou Leping touched his chin in confusion, "Your brother is already in his twenties! He should be old enough to get married, so why doesn't your mother arrange anything for him?"
Although Ding Kang didn't know why Zhou Leping asked this, he still said: "My mother was also anxious in the early years, but my brother said that one should marry the one he likes, and he wanted to find one himself. So, there was no further news after that. Leping, why are you asking this?"
Zhou Leping is now very satisfied with the brother-in-law of the Ding family! He has achieved fame at a young age, and he is not only talented, but also mentally strong and mature. Moreover, Zhou Leping has met Ding Kang's elder brother several times, and he looks good! Such a person can barely match his sister.
"Ding Kang, you have also met my sister Shuyi, how is she?"
Ding Kang nodded: "Sister Shuyi is both beautiful and gentle. No, Leping, you don't want to pair my brother with Sister Shuyi, do you?" Only then did Ding Kang realize what he was thinking.
Zhou Leping nodded slowly: "That's what I planned. Your brother is a talented man, and my sister is a beautiful woman. Shouldn't talented men and beautiful women be together?"
Ding Kang stroked his chin and thought for a while: "What you said seems to make sense. It seems that it would be nice for Sister Shuyi to be my sister-in-law. Then we will be relatives in the future."
Seeing that Ding Kang was persuaded, Zhou Leping felt relieved: "Yes, from now on we are real brothers."
Ding Kang's eyes sparkled: "Okay, I'll tell my brother about this when I get back."
Zhou Leping quickly grabbed Ding Kang and said, "Don't say it directly. Your brother has already said that he wants to find a wife. If you get involved, he will be wary of my sister. Well, the weather is good now, let's call them out for an outing together one day and see if it works."
Ding Kang thought Zhou Leping was very thoughtful: "There is no need to set a date. We can just let them meet at the garden party hosted by His Majesty."
"Garden party? When is your Majesty going to hold a garden party?"
Ding Kang: "You took a leave yesterday, so you naturally didn't know this news. Your Majesty's garden is built, and he plans to organize a garden party in the royal garden while the weather is good. All ministers and their families can participate."
Zhou Le clapped his hands and cheered: "That's the garden party."
The two nodded in tacit understanding and prepared to go back and plan carefully.
On the other side of the school, the small group surrounding Gu Er was also watching Zhou Leping and Ding Kang: "Mr. Gu, Zhou Leping and Ding Kang are so mysterious, maybe they are planning to deal with you again."
Major General Gu put the books in order and looked in Zhou Leping's direction, sneering, "What can these two simple-minded idiots do to me? They just got beaten up and they haven't learned their lesson. I'm waiting to see what they can come up with."
