This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 104 Intuition
Seeing the men slowly approaching from both sides of the street, Ding Zhaolan became more and more annoyed. He clapped his hands vigorously: "Dai, don't mess around here. Your brother's death has nothing to do with our Ding family."

"It's none of your business." The man surnamed Dai pointed at Ding Zhaolan and said angrily, "Someone saw with his own eyes that it was a child of your family who injured him and left him on the side of the road. It's miserable."

As he said that, the man surnamed Dai wiped his tears, his expression was sad, and it looked so real that even Lu Sen and Zhan Zhao couldn't see through whether the man's crying was real or not.

Ding Zhaolan became more and more annoyed: "You said someone saw it, who is that person?"

"Why, your Ding family wants to kill people and silence them, and then die without symptoms?"

Walking down the doorstep, where Ding Zhaolan passed, the crowd parted, he said coldly: "Your Dai family dare not even release witnesses, and you just point at our Ding family to frame it, there is no reason in the world."

"The truth in this world is the law." The young man surnamed Dai rushed to a foot in front of Ding Zhaolan, and also shouted: "We have some witnesses, see you in court in three days."

"Since you want to meet in court, what are you doing blocking the door of my Ding's house!" Ding Zhaolan yelled, "Don't think that your lord is the governor of Qian, we are afraid of you. This Songjiang doesn't have a surname Dai yet!"

This remark has a bit of flavor, implying that the Dai family seems to be rebelling.

The young man surnamed Dai stared at him, and trembled with anger: "Okay, you Ding Zhaolan has a good tongue, I can't say no to you. We will see you in court three days later, and your Ding family can't cover the sky with one hand. If Songjiang Fu Yin can't give our Dai family justice, we will see you in Kaifeng mansion sooner or later!"

After all, the man surnamed Dai turned around and left, and then the other people who surrounded the door of Ding's house also cursed and spit and left.

After the people left, Ding Zhaolan walked towards the dowry procession. He immediately saw Zhan Zhao in the crowd, clasped his fists and saluted, a little ashamed, and was about to speak, when he turned his eyes and saw Lu Sen.

After being stunned for half a second, Ding Zhaolan swallowed his saliva, took the initiative to walk up quickly, first saluted Lu Sen, and said, "I've met Master Lu, Lu Tianzhang!"

Lu Sen cupped his fists in return: "It's easy to say."

Then Ding Zhaolan clasped his fists to Zhan Zhao and said, "Brother-in-law... Zhan Butou, I've been waiting for a long time, please follow me into the house. Daoist Lu also invites you!"

A group of people followed Ding Zhaolan into Ding's residence.

The Ding family is very big, and there are quite a lot of servants. These servants are sitting lazily chatting and eating snacks.When they saw Ding Zhaolan come in with a group of people in red suits, they all stood up and clasped their fists together for fun.

After all, my little lady Ding Yuehua has made a lifelong decision with Zhan Butou of Bianjing City. This matter has already been spread in Ding's family, but it has not been spread to the outside world for the time being.

Looking at these servants who were not in good shape, Ding Zhaolan felt embarrassment and depression all over his body.

The family style is not right!
It's okay if Zhan Zhao just sees it, anyway, they're going to be a family soon, and Zhan Zhao probably won't say anything.

But real Lu is also there.

Lu Sen's status in terms of fame, actual civil service rank, and status as a direct bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion are all much higher than Zhan Zhao's.

It is really embarrassing to be bumped into by such a person and see that the family tradition is not strict.

Ding Zhaolan was leading the way ahead, but he was in a state of turmoil in his heart, worrying about gains and losses.

But in fact, Lu Sen didn't think about it that much. He felt that these servants dared to joke with the master's family. He thought that the Ding family usually managed the servants relatively loosely.

In this case, Lu Sen felt that the Ding family should be more benevolent in doing things, which added impression points.

Fast-forwarding to the inner hall, most of the people in the team were left in place, only the matchmaker and a few dandans went in with big boxes and small bags of betrothal gifts.

It may be that after receiving the news, the elders of the Ding family have long been waiting in the inner hall.

When they saw someone coming in, they were chatting and laughing, but they all immediately pretended to be serious.

Lu Sen took a look. There were three elderly people, seven middle-aged people, and a dozen or so sisters-in-law.

"Father, my brother-in-law is here." Ding Zhaolan walked up the steps quickly and walked towards the old man in the middle: "There are also..."

Ding Zhaolan wanted to reveal Lu Sen's identity earlier, and told her father to be more polite when speaking, so as not to embarrass Zhan Zhang, and then make Lu Zhenren unhappy.

Before he could finish speaking, Father Ding pointed to the chair next to him, and said with a serious expression: "You don't need to talk too much, I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to intervene in such a big matter."

"but……"

"Go and sit down." Father Ding pointed to the chair next to him gently again: "Then just shut up and watch."

Ding Zhaolan could only walk to the side and sat down.

Then Father Ding glanced at Lu Sen and Zhan Zhao, frowning.

He knew that when his daughter made a private life appointment with an outsider, he was almost pissed to death, but later he heard that the person who made a private appointment with his daughter was Zhan Zhao of Kaifeng Mansion, so he was not so angry. After all, Zhan Zhao's reputation, even if it is Songjiang's side is also like thunder.

Then he just said that Zhan Zhao was young, personable and handsome.

Then there are two young people in front of me, both are extremely handsome.

"You two, who is Zhan Zhao and Zhan Xiongfei?"

"Me!" Zhan Zhao took a step forward, cupped his fists and lowered his head, and said, "My next Zhan Zhao, I met Uncle Ding."

Although Zhan Zhao is an upright person, it is not too much for him to bow his head and call someone uncle because it is a matter of his life.

Father Ding looked Zhan Zhao up and down, quite satisfied.This man is handsome, upright and awe-inspiring, and has an official status. He is indeed a rare lover, more than enough for his daughter.

Satisfied, he looked left and right, and then frowned: "Xiong Fei, you don't have any elders to follow. Don't tell me there are no elders in your family?"

"Father, mother, cousin and other elders, there are 11 of them, and they are in good health." Zhan Zhao replied seriously.

"Oh, then why didn't they invite someone over to discuss this important matter with the old man?" Ding's father's expression gradually became cold: "Or, your Zhan family looks down on my Ding family? Even an old man refuses to come over? "

At this time, the matchmaker said: "Noble man of the Ding family, what you said is wrong, my Zhanye's house is too far away from this time, it is inconvenient..."

"Getting married is not a convenient thing." Ding's father glared at the matchmaker angrily: "You have no place to speak here, even a bustard dares to hang out in my Ding's house!"

This is very hurtful... It is true that most of the matchmakers are not very clean, but this matchmaker is still very self-loving, otherwise Zhan Zhao would not have asked them to help.

The matchmaker smiled awkwardly and took two steps back.

She knows the atmosphere very well, and knows that now is not the time for her to talk too much, and it is best not to even have a defense, otherwise she will only add fuel to the flames and make Master Zhan's marriage in vain.

Then Ding's father looked at Zhan Zhao: "There are rumors in the world that the head catcher is calm and dignified, and he is Bao Longtu's confidant, and he is also a modest gentleman. But looking at it now, the rumors in the world are really unbelievable. You want to marry my daughter, but you only ask me After the matchmaker came over, there were no elders to testify, are you underestimating our Ding family?"

After speaking, there was already a sense of anger.

Ding's father is also considered a master of martial arts, otherwise he would not be able to cultivate the Songjiang Ding Shuangxia.

Zhan Zhao was a little ashamed of being scolded, he cupped his fists and said nothing, he planned to wait for Ding's father to calm down.

Ding Zhaolan was on the sidelines, already very anxious. He stood up and was about to speak, but father Ding, who had good ears and eyes, turned his head suddenly: "Sit down for me, it's not yet time for you to make decisions about the Ding family."

Normally, when his father scolded him like this, Ding Zhaolan would naturally be obedient, but the current situation does not allow him to do so.

He stood up and forced himself to say: "Father, brother-in-law, he didn't mean that."

"Brother-in-law, what brother-in-law!" Father Ding roared angrily, "I haven't agreed yet."

Ding Zhaolan became anxious at this moment, and said, "Brother-in-law invited a man of high morals and respect to come over to help witness."

"What big man? Where did he come from with such high morals?" Father Ding snorted, not believing it. His eyes swept over Zhan Zhao and the others: "There isn't even a bearded man, how could there be such a great sage!"

The Ding family laughed beside them.

"The one standing next to my brother-in-law is real Lu, Lu Tianzhang!" Ding Zhaolan couldn't help shouting.

"I don't care what Lu Tian is..." Father Ding muttered subconsciously, but then he reacted very quickly and said, "Wait, what did you just say, Lu Tianzhang, real Lu!"

Now, everyone's eyes were on Lu Sen.

Because among them, apart from Zhan Zhao, Lu Sen had the best temperament, and he also had a dusty smell.

At this time, Lu Sen's reputation has spread widely. In the entire Song Dynasty, anyone who has never heard of Lu Sen's name, except for young children, is dead!
Everyone in the Ding family subconsciously stood up.

Father Ding turned to look at his eldest son and asked, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. I went to the capital more than a year ago and had a face-to-face meeting with Master Lu. It's not like you don't know about this, father!"

Father Ding hissed subconsciously, then turned his head to look at Lu Sen. He clasped his fists and bent down to salute the official: "My next officer, Songjiang Road Sub-capital Superintendent, Songjiang Navy Deputy Commander Ding Yang, met Lu Tianzhang, Lu Langzhong."

Lu Sen is a civilian official, while Ding's father is only a local military officer. The gap between the two can be said to be huge.

Then everyone in the Ding family bowed down, including Ding Zhaolan, and shouted: "I met Lu Tianzhang, Mr. Lu."

"Please, you're welcome. I'm here today as a friend of Zhanbu, not an official position." Lu Sen gently raised his hand: "This time I came with you, just to witness Xiongfei's appointment."

"So, so it is." Ding Yang stood up, then smiled and said: "Lu Tianzhang, please sit down. My son-in-law also sit down, hurry up, don't be too polite, treat this place as your own home."

Ding Yang became enthusiastic all of a sudden.

Lu Sen still sat down, and said: "Because Xiongfei's home is too far away from here, it's inconvenient for the elders to come here, so he entrusted me to come over to help and talk to Supervisor Ding, please don't blame him."

"It's easy to say, oh, I should have said it earlier, the matchmaker over there, please come and sit down." Ding Yang smiled happily.

The matchmaker naturally said she didn't dare, but she still came over and stood up and said, "Ding Dujian, we can lighten the betrothal gift, is there still a wedding?"

Ding Yang glanced at Lu Sen, seeing that the latter was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Of course it is, of course it is."

In the following time, the matchmaker was communicating with the elders of the Ding family, confirming the willingness of both parties, asking both parties about their birthdays, counting days and so on.

In less than half an hour, everything was settled.The matchmaker has done so many marriages, but this time the couple has the highest status and the smoothest.

Whatever is mentioned this time, the other party will agree to.

They even stuffed a lot of dowry.

And when the appointment was over, Lu Sen and Zhan Zhao temporarily stayed at Ding's house.

Sitting opposite Lu Sen, Zhan Zhao clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Lu Xiaolang, it was indeed the right thing to invite you here, otherwise it would definitely be a long way."

"I don't think so. The Ding family will at most make it difficult for you to test you." Lu Sen teased: "I heard that the Ding family has already given you a batch of dowry. This is obviously a sign of a hurry to get married." .”

"Giving the dowry does not mean that people will follow." Zhan Zhao is a headhunter, so he is familiar with the law: "In case something happens along the way and she doesn't want to marry, the dowry must be returned."

Lu Sen chuckled: "I don't think so, there are very few women in the world who don't want to marry you."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao smiled lightly.

He has confidence in himself, no matter his appearance, temperament, or identity, he is a leader of the younger generation.

Lu Sen stood up, pushed open the window, and said, "By the way, do you still remember what happened at noon today?"

"Lu Xiaolang is talking about the dispute between the Ding family and the Dai family?"

Lu Sen nodded: "This Dai family seems to be a military family, what's the origin?"

"If I remember correctly, the Dai family should be the governor of Songjiang Road, and also the commander of the local Xiang army."

Lu Sen said: "That is to say, a navy and an army. Now that there is a commotion, it always feels like a conspiracy."

"Oh, why does Lu Xiaolang have such an idea?"

Lu Sen explained: "Xiong Fei, do you still remember when I resigned from the post of supervisor of the army and was ambushed outside the city when I returned to Bianjing? Although the main envoy seemed to be Donghai Penglai, but they brought the bow and pawns... It's not fake."

"Then what relationship do they have with Songjiang?"

Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "It doesn't seem to be related, but my intuition tells me that there may be a connection between this matter and this matter."

Zhan Zhao's face darkened, he thought for a while, and said, "We have to look at the lawsuit between the Ding and Dai families in three days' time."

"Not only that, Xiongfei, you'd better disguise yourself and inquire about the news here in Songjiang Mansion." Lu Sen put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky through the window: "If both parties are right, then it is obvious Someone is playing tricks in the dark."

Zhan Zhao nodded, expressing his understanding.

Lu Sen is a civil servant and a direct bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion, so he does have the power to command Zhan Zhao.

Moreover, the relationship between the two is very good, it is better to say that they help each other than command.

And Lu Sen still didn't say anything: Someone was trying to provoke the relationship between the local soldiers, and at the same time provoke the relationship between him and the court, and even wanted to kidnap him secretly!These things seem to be going on at the same time.

Those who did this secretly even regarded him as their prey.

This is very unpleasant.
