Chapter 15 Retirement(1/2)

Lu Huang felt that Butler Lu was a bit tired.

But he couldn't push him. He just secretly wondered in his heart, what is so difficult about this Butler Lu? Why is he now in such a state that he always wants to talk about quitting?

Lu Huang has always believed that everything has an effect and a cause. There must be a reason why Butler Lu is in his current state.

Butler Lu looked at Lu Huang and then at his hands.

Lu Huang judged from the other party's micro-expression that the matter had something to do with him. It was probably not something big happened to Butler Lu's family and he needed to borrow money from him.

If that were the case, he wouldn't look at himself first.

After Lu Huang made such a judgment in his mind, he became even more curious. What unspeakable things does Butler Lu have about him?

Butler Lu sighed, he couldn't make up his mind anyway.

Lu Huang decided to put a little pressure on the other party.

So Lu Huang said: "Steward Lu, if you don't tell me, I will leave. I have something to do this afternoon."

When Butler Lu saw what Lu Huang said, he hurriedly said: "Young master, I have something to do, but I'm worried that after hearing this, you might think that -"

Lu Huang laughed: "Steward Lu, just say it, is there anything you think I will collapse after hearing?"

"It's not like it collapsed or anything, it's just, it's just..."

"Steward Lu, don't whet my appetite, just tell me." Lu Huang deliberately showed a bit of impatience.

Of course this was done deliberately to show Butler Lu.

Of course, Steward Lu is also a person who is used to observing people's faces. If he doesn't even have this ability as a steward, then he is really incompetent!

Butler Lu finally decided to say: "Sir, don't take this matter too seriously."

Lu Huang was still in a state of confusion, but he saw Butler Lu taking out something else from his arms.

It's a letter.

This letter is not sealed.

It seems there is no need for secrecy.

Butler Lu hesitated for a while, and finally handed the open envelope to Lu Huang.

Lu Huang asked: "What is this?"

"This is the letter of cancellation of engagement." Butler Lu said it more carefully. When he said this, he also observed Lu Huang's face very carefully.

He had to pay close attention to Lu Huang's expression at all times.

Lu Huang's heart skipped a beat. Was his engagement broken off?

He remembered that he had been engaged to a marriage before.

Lu Huang did not open the divorce letter, he asked: "Do you know the reason?"

Because he was no longer the original person, he was not shocked by the breakup of the engagement.

Lu Huang's reaction seemed quite unusual in the eyes of Butler Lu.

Butler Lu looked at Lu Huang without blinking, and tried to explain in a calm tone: "Sir, of course things happen for a reason."

Lu Huang said: "Steward Lu, please make the story short, I have something else to do next."

"Okay, I understand, sir, I'll try to be as brief as possible."

Lu Huang smiled slightly and waved his hand, indicating to the other party that he could speak freely.

It turns out that Lu Huang had arranged a marriage before.

The woman is from a flower family.

Hua Yu, the master of the Hua family, is the former county magistrate of this city. Due to some chance, he has been transferred to serve as the prefect, which is a great step forward in his official career.

But this will break the balance. Related people and things will change.

The original Hua family was the home of the county magistrate, and was basically on the same level as the Lu family, the city's big businessmen.

Of course, there is still a difference in status between being an official and being a businessman. The marriage between the Lu family and the Hua family was only agreed upon by the Lu family after intense pursuit.

However, the Hua family was still not satisfied, so the Lu family spent a lot of money to get a junior master in the yamen for their son Lu Huang. However, even such a junior master was still a concubine, which meant that there was no official establishment in the officialdom.

, consider it a temporary worker.

But at least he had one foot in the officialdom, and he was considered an official's family, and he ate official meals in his official position.

Mr. Lu is already quite satisfied.

The Hua family also felt that it would look better if their son-in-law donated an official position, even if he was a good person.

But now that Huayu is in the prefect's mansion and has experienced the experience of being a director, he is also an official of the eighth grade, so he will naturally dislike the Lu family as a merchant.

Now that the Hua family has taken the initiative to break off the engagement, this letter of breakup came.

Butler Lu told Lu Huang the whole story. After telling all this, Butler Lu now stared nervously at Lu Huang's face.

Of course, he would look away from time to time to find the unsealed envelope in Lu Huang's hand.

Butler Lu felt that based on his understanding of the young master, Lu Huang would be very angry, very, very angry.

Breaking off the engagement, the woman's initiative to break off the engagement, is a great humiliation for any man at any level.

Of course Lu Huang also understood this.

The kind of annulment before him was a more formal one in written form. Of course, there are more "quasi-annulments" in the world, where the woman requests a breakup, which is also a humiliation for the man.

The two forms are of course completely different, but the essence is exactly the same.

Whenever a woman breaks up with her, the man must have that unforgettable feeling.

In his previous life, Lu Huang had a very good friend who also fell out of love and almost destroyed a good man. Therefore, Lu Huang knew the power of that kind of blow, it was an invisible sharp knife.

However, Lu Huang did not change his temper, get angry, humiliated, or even go berserk.

Lu Huang looked at Butler Lu, and from his eyes, he saw that Butler Lu probably thought that he would have one of the above situations, but Butler Lu was wrong.

After all, he is no longer his original self, so how can he still have such intense emotions?

"Well, what's the name of the Hua family's daughter?"

Lu Huang suddenly said such a sentence, which was completely unexpected by Butler Lu.

But Butler Lu answered Lu Huang's question after being stunned for a moment.

He said: "Oh, sir, you have forgotten her name. It has been a long time since I mentioned it. You will forget it. Her name is Hua Yanyue."

Because Lu Huang's memory from the original owner was not so complete, he was currently not sure whether he knew some of the previous things about Hua Yanyue, so he learned about it without leaving any trace, in a form of insinuation.

He found out from Butler Lu that he had never met Hua Yanyue.

It seems that what is popular among women in ancient times when they are in the boudoir is the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker.

"What does Hua Yanyue look like?"

Sure enough, men still can't escape this bad habit and attach great importance to a woman's appearance, but Butler Lu understands this very well.

Butler Lu considered it over and over again before saying, "I heard it's just an average appearance."

Of course, Butler Lu's words were an ambush. Hua Yanyue was definitely not an ordinary beauty. If it was just an ordinary beauty, Mr. Lu wouldn't be so stubborn to let his son marry him. Mr. Lu always wants his son to be happy, and women Good looks or not should be a very important factor in the eyes of the father. After all, if the son takes his wife out, if the daughter-in-law has the same flowers, then it will be a good thing for the entire Lu family.

But if Butler Lu told the truth, he would probably add salt to the young master's sadness, so his words were greatly discounted.

It is natural for a man to be talented and a woman to be beautiful.

Huaxian Cheng became Hua Xian. To Lu Huang, this was just a story about the female version of Chen Shimei. There was nothing surprising about it. Originally, he might have just smiled and let the matter go.

However, his eyes fell on the unsealed letter. The envelope did not even include the content and nature of the letter.

What does this mean? Of course, this means that the Lu family members who receive the letter can also read the contents of the letter at will.

Then the news that is not good for Lu Huang will spread in the Lu family and even leak out.

That's true. It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.

For these words, Lu Huang made a mental note for the Hua family. Now of course he does not have the strength or ability, or even the energy to deal with his family, but if he manages his territory stably, he will have such a stable future. If he can slap the opponent in the face, Lu Huang will not be soft-hearted.

This can be regarded as Lu Huang, he has always behaved according to his principles, you give me a small sweet date, I will give you a big sweet date, you slap me a small slap, I'm sorry, I will give you a big slap!

Thinking about it, Lu Huang still took the letter of annulment in his hand, took a quick look at it, and wrote:

I haven’t seen Mr. Lu for a long time, and I miss him a lot. Brother Yu was busy with chores recently, and we rarely met each other. In the past, my daughter had a marriage contract with my son’s family, and things happened as usual, like the flow of a river, which cannot be stopped by human beings. I hate today’s situation very much. I withdraw the letter, but I have no choice but to feel sad! I pray that the young master will have a bright future and a better partner. I only wish your family a thousand days of happiness!

The handwriting is beautiful and the words are polite, but the politeness reveals ruthlessness.

Full of the feeling of wanting to be and to stand up.

Forget it, it's over after reading it, now Lu Huang decided to put it down.

Seeing that Butler Lu's condition has returned to normal, there should be nothing to hide.

Lu Huang casually tucked the letter into a thick book called "Qi Deng Hui Yuan", which also contained a copy of the "Host Lin Dajing".

Then he stood up and said to Butler Lu: "Butler, if you have nothing else to do, you can go and rest first. You have worked hard these days."

After a moment, he said: "As for me, I have some things to do this afternoon."
