Although Hou Ye is strong and the head of the five major families, he obviously has self-knowledge.

What he said, Lu Ming felt the same way. For example, the five major families and even their Ghost Doctor Pavilion are the leading forces on the surface, but in the vast China, they are just people who are put on the surface.

That powerful force in the dark is something that even they cannot shake.

Such as Tianzong, Wuming, and even the mysterious Gaowu Academy, these are few people know, but their strength and terror are truly unimaginable!

Lu Ming smiled wryly and said, "Master Hou, why bother to accuse Sang and Huai, you and I are the same kind of people. In front of those mysterious and unpredictable forces, you and I are the same, just jumping around like a clown."

The two looked at each other and smiled, tacit understanding about the matter.

"Let's get down to business, I happened to meet you today, so I'll introduce Mr. Lu to a respectable senior!"

While speaking, the two had already walked outside Lord Hou's office.

He knocked on the door.

"Come in!" came a voice from inside the room.

Hou Ye smiled, pushed open the door, and immediately made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Ming was also polite, and walked in. An old man in his eighties was standing upright in the office.

majesty!

This is how Lu Ming felt when he saw Ding Yaozu for the first time.

Although his head is full of white hair and his temples are grizzled, Ding Yaozu's waist is straight, and he stands with his hands behind his back, giving people an irresistible sense of majesty.

Hou Ye stood quietly at the side, watched the two sizing each other up, and then introduced after a while.

"Mr. Lu, this is my mentor, Mr. Ding Yaozu!"

"The previous head of the Hou Mansion, a respected old man!" Although Lu Ming already knew him, he still took two steps forward at this moment, saluted respectfully, and then said in a deep voice: "Junior Lu Ming, pay homage to Mr. Ding! "

Lord Hou introduced again: "Master, this is Lu Ming, the owner of the Ghost Doctor Pavilion!"

Ding Yaozu smiled appreciatively, and said, "It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead. Huaxia can have a figure like Mr. Lu, and there are really successors!"

"Mr. Ding's praise!" Lu Ming smiled modestly, and said, "I've heard about your old reputation. Lu Ming just arrived in Shangdu recently. He wanted to visit your old man but was worried about disturbing your old man's leisure. It is indeed an honor for me, Lu Ming, to meet the old senior here."

Ding Yaozu is not a person who sticks to etiquette, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I have abdicated now, just like you! If you don't get involved in this mundane matter, just treat it as a gathering of friends to chat."

Lu Ming didn't pretend, and said, "Listen to Mr. Ding!"

The three sat down and chatted with each other, and Lu Ming had a deeper understanding of Ding Yaozu's character.

This person has a breeze in his sleeves, and it can be said that he has no desires and desires.

During the chat, Lu Ming gradually brought up the topic of Ding Yaozu's coming to the Hou Mansion.

Old Ding Yaozu frowned, and sighed: "Hey, I have dedicated my whole life to the Hou family, and I only have one son under my knees. I have walked on my path since I was a child, and I will go all out to make a contribution. It's a pity that this comfortable nest in the Hou's Mansion is not suitable for him, and now he is under the command of Chang Wu in Xizhou, and his daughter-in-law is also a heroine, both of them have forgotten me as an old bone, and they have even forgotten their daughter."

Hearing this, Master Hou smiled and said: "Senior brother has ambitions in all directions, and it is a good thing to hone his ambitions far away in Xizhou. Why should the old man..."

"Don't give me a high hat." Ding Yaozu reprimanded: "My granddaughter Ding Mushi has spent more time with her parents these years. Now she is in her 20s and is a rebellious period. Parents can't understand! She is kind in nature. It's not bad, it's just that being so rebellious is because I feel uncomfortable, it's intentional, it's showing me, showing her parents!"

Hou Ye heard the words, but had a different opinion.

"Old man, you are suppressing her too much! In fact, Mu Shi has loved martial arts since she was a child, and even yearned to be a soldier and become a heroine. If you had fulfilled her wishes back then, you wouldn't have caused her to be so fussy now! "

"Follow her wishes? Then who will fulfill my wishes?" Ding Yaozu waved his hand, and then said: "The Ding family is only a single seedling, who doesn't know the hardships of being a soldier, you or Lu Ming?"

Lu Ming and Lord Hou looked at each other and smiled, the old man didn't want Ding Mushi to suffer in the army.

"It's not all because of coddling her." Ding Yaozu sighed, and said: "Old Ding's two generations are single-handed, my generation has six brothers and sisters, and they all passed away one after another for the great cause of the Marquis Mansion. Only Lao Ding's family is left. Me! If my only incense can’t spread branches and leaves for the Ding family, how can I meet my brothers and sisters after I die, and see the ancestors of the Ding family.”

Speaking of this, Ding Yaozu's eyes were a little moist.

Although he has been strong all his life, he is still an old man after all, and his only hope is that the Ding family can have a descendant.

Ding Yaozu laughed at himself and said: "I haven't died yet, maybe I just can't let go of this matter! If this girl doesn't marry for a day, I, Ding Yaozu, dare not die!"

Lu Ming and Lord Hou could only smile wryly upon hearing this.

"I think Mr. Lu is very good."

Suddenly, Ding Yaozu said this.

Lu Ming's smile froze, and he hurriedly said, "Master Ding is laughing. The younger generation is not so lucky. I'm already married."

Ding Yaozu was obviously disappointed, but he smiled and said, "Since ancient times, heroes are so lonely. Mr. Lu is the master of the Ghost Doctor Pavilion. Is it normal to have three wives and four concubines?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Ming was almost shocked.

Mr. Ding is old and confused, right?
But looking at Master Hou's smiling and silent expression, Lu Ming seemed to understand a little bit.

The older generation doesn't care much about the current marriage system, they are more optimistic about the character and the fate of the younger generation.

It’s true, there was no romantic love story in their time. Marriage is not like it is now, with betrothal gifts, a house and a car, then it depends on the person who will get married. Dogs follow dogs, no regrets for a lifetime.

There is no pomp in marriage, a few catties of eggs and a bed of bedding, that is dowry, and it is the destination of a lifetime. No matter how many rooms you add, as long as you have a good character and are good to your wife and family, you can live in harmony.

Of course, Lu Ming and Lord Hou would not argue with him about these matters.

"Mr. Lu, think about it?" Ding Yaozu asked with a smile.

Lu Ming said tactfully, "Old man, this junior will try his best to help your granddaughter find a good home with a future and responsibility."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly gave Hou Ye a look, motioning for him to help excuse him.

Although the purpose of his visit this time was to get close to Ding Yaozu and secretly investigate the clues of one of the five stones, Huo Qilin, but he didn't want to use a beautiful man to trick this step.

Upon seeing this, Master Hou smiled and said, "We're meeting for the first time, so give Mr. Lu a little more time!"

"That's right, that's right, I didn't think carefully!" Ding Yaozu laughed.

There was a drop of cold sweat on Lu Ming's forehead, and Lord Hou let him off the hook, but he actually sank himself into it.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the girl in the Chinese tunic came in.

"Why is he here?" The girl asked angrily when she saw Lu Ming.

Lu Ming's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Master Hou, this is the vocational education of the Hou Mansion? What can you teach by saving her? There are no rules at all, don't you know how to knock on the door and report! If it was mine, she would have let her It's been rebuilt!"
