Chapter 042 Lu Xiaolang has changed
There are at least forty female candidates on the list provided by the system.
But only six of them can be considered beauties. It is conceivable that beauties are indeed a scarce resource.
Lu Sen looked through their 'attribute bonuses' and was greatly shocked.
People like Yang Jinhua and Zhao Bilian can be considered positive bonuses, but most of them are neither good nor bad bonuses, or even negative bonuses.
Seljuq Courtesan Aijieli (Water Snake Saint): You will be transferred to an Assassin, and your personal attributes will be greatly increased, but your friendship with the Song Dynasty will be reduced by 50 .
For example, Qinshi, the Douhua Xishi (Attracting bees and butterflies): The green grass under the home system will have a higher chance of producing special high-level synthetic plant materials. At the same time, wild men will occasionally appear in your home.
For example, Mrs. Luo, the fat lady from Bianshui Street (with extraordinary tonnage): Your stress will increase by three points every day until you go insane.
The one with the highest positive bonus naturally belongs to Mu Guiying (heroine, chivalrous woman, female village chief, and generalissimo of the world's army): all your personal basic attributes are increased by 30%, and the speed of learning special skills is accelerated; ignoring your personal level, unlock all cold weapon recipes and armor recipes including hidden recipes; unlock the hidden troop puppet Qingfengke; unlock the hidden troop puppets spearman puppet, magic arm puppet, and heavy cavalry puppet.
When Lu Sen saw this, his eyes widened for a long time.
Although Yang Jinhua looks a bit like her mother Mu Guiying, there is a huge gap in their abilities.
Lu Sen subconsciously added Mu Guiying's portrait to the spouse column. This was purely a subconscious instinct and a sequelae of playing too much game.
Then the system rarely popped up a prompt: Error, this character is not actually married to you!
When Lu Sen saw this sentence, he was stunned for a while, then he sighed deeply.
You were born before I was born, and when I was born you were already... a wife.
If the time point of the time travel was pushed forward twenty years, Lu Sen would be willing to compete with Yang Zongbao even for this terrifying attribute bonus.
But now, I can only regret it.
Honestly speaking, if it weren't for Mu Guiying's outrageous attribute bonus, Lu Sen would still think that Yang Jinhua and Zhao Bilian were both good, but now he just thinks that they are not as good as the best but better than the worst.
But on second thought, they are both still young, and if we give them a dozen years, they will probably grow up.
Then Lu Sen came to a very interesting conclusion: his social circle was too narrow.
There are still too few targets to choose from. Bianjing City is so big that there should be many women of marriageable age who can become spouse candidates, and maybe a girl with higher attribute bonuses than Yang Jinhua and Zhao Bilian can be "brushed out".
It seems that I can't stay at home all day like this anymore, I have to go out for a walk.
So in the following days, Lu Sen took the initiative to walk around the city of Bianjing.
First, go to various brothels and see what kind of candidates with attribute bonuses can be found.
The results disappointed him, as there were few positive additions.
He felt that he was conducting an experiment and that his behavior was legitimate and reasonable, but his actions during this period still caught the attention of some people.
Whether it was the Cao family, the Prince of Runan, or even Bao Zheng, they all knew that he had been visiting brothels during this period.
As for whether they had any sexual intercourse with the ladies in the brothel, they were not sure.
That day, Lu Sen made the cooled golden apple again and put it into the system backpack.
Keep it first... and take it out when you need it.
Anyway, the things inside the system will not deteriorate or rot.
He had just finished his work when the Cao brothers came to visit again.
He also brought along a pretty young girl.
The girl didn't like to talk much. When Lu Sen and the Cao brothers were chatting, she just watched from the side with a shy smile.
And whenever Lu Sen looked at her, the girl would always lower her head shyly, not daring to look at Lu Sen.
The three members of the Cao family stayed in the yard for a while and then left, taking away two bundles of raw vegetables sent by Lu Sen.
After returning to the two mansions, the girl bowed and left first, while the Cao brothers went to see their father, Cao Yi.
"Sir, we tried, but Xiaowan didn't seem to arouse Lu Xiaolang's interest." Cao Ping smiled bitterly, "Xiaowan seems to be a little interested in Lu Xiaolang. After all, Lu Xiaolang is indeed a rare handsome man. If I were a woman, I would definitely be obsessed with him."
This girl named Xiaowan is his cousin, but a distant blood relative.
Cao You nodded aside. He now admired Lu Sen very much, especially after seeing Yang Jinhua take the Red Plum Su on his own initiative, he finally understood.
Women are actually no different from men and are not worth investing too much thought in.
"Then why has Lu Xiaolang been going to brothels so often recently?" Cao Yi looked puzzled. "I sent someone to ask him secretly. Lu Xiaolang only chatted and drank when he went to the brothel. He didn't do anything else. He was very well behaved."
"Could it be that there is some evil thing hiding in the brothel? Lu Xiaolang cares about the people and wants to get rid of the evil." Cao You guessed.
Cao Ping clapped his hands with his fan and said, "This is also a possibility."
Cao Yi shook his head: "The problem is, Lu Xiaolang went to all the famous brothels in the city. It's weird no matter how you think about it."
"It seems that the problem is not with the woman." Cao Yi stroked his beard and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "I can't find out any information from here. I have to rely on the Prince of Runan."
The Prince of Runan naturally also knew about this.
One third of the brothels in the city were his properties, but he put on two more layers of cover to avoid suspicion and to prevent others from pointing fingers at him.
After he knew about this, he told his daughter about it in a tactful way.
When Zhao Bilian heard this, she became anxious and immediately took two servants to the Yang family to see Yang Jinhua.
In the boudoir dominated by bright red, Yang Jinhua looked at her best friend expressionlessly .
Zhao Bilian also stared at the other person with wide eyes.
Neither of them spoke.
I endured it for a long, long time.
Finally, Zhao Bilian couldn't stand it anymore. She took the initiative to say, "Why do you hate me all of a sudden? You almost didn't let me in."
"What do you think?" Yang Jinhua snorted.
"Because I went to see Lu Xiaolang?"
"What do you think?" Yang Jinhua became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she even felt like gritting her teeth and biting someone.
"Don't be angry." Zhao Bilian took the initiative to reach out and hold Yang Jinhua's hands: "We are about the same age, and we grew up together. Is there anything that can't be discussed?"
"Haha." Yang Jinhua did not shake off Zhao Bilian's hand. She sneered twice and said, "You obviously know that I met Lu Xiaolang first, why did you come here to join in the fun?"
Zhao Bilian said quietly, "But when Lu Xiaolang rescued me, I didn't know you knew him."
Yang Jinhua fell silent for a moment. She knew very well that Zhao Bilian was right. The two of them met Lu Sen one after the other, and the time difference was only a few days.
If anyone really wants to complain, it's only because Lu Sen is too handsome. His face alone can attract many women.
Thinking of this, Yang Jinhua sighed softly and was no longer so angry with her best friend.
After all, she is not the type of person who likes to hold grudges. Even if she is angry, she usually won't hold it in her heart for too long.
Besides, she has a really good relationship with Zhao Bilian.
There is no difference between them and real sisters.
"And the problem is not that difficult to solve." Zhao Bilian continued to hold Yang Jinhua's hand and said with a smile: "You can think of it this way. We can both marry Lu Xiaolang, one as the principal wife and the other as the secondary wife."
"Who is the legal wife and who is... Bah!" Yang Jinhua's pretty face immediately turned red. She realized that she had been misled by the other party, and immediately said angrily: "Who said I want to marry him?"
"Then I'll get married alone!" Zhao Bilian smiled happily.
"No!" Yang Jinhua glared at the other person unhappily.
Zhao Bilian felt relieved when she saw Yang Jinhua like this. She knew Yang Jinhua's character very well, and she was no longer angry after hearing what she said.
"Actually, I came here this time because I have something very important to tell you."
Yang Jinhua gently shook off Zhao Bilian's hand, poured her a cup of tea, and took out some cakes from the cabinet and put them on her plate: "You didn't invite me to your coming-of-age ceremony before, what souvenir did Lu Xiaolang give you?"
"Red plum cake and a set of crystal glass tea set."
Win! Yang Jinhua was in a good mood immediately. Not only did she get the Red Plum Cake, she also got a magic bow.
It can't be compared with those rare and vulgar things.
She chuckled, her peach blossom eyes curved in laughter: "You just said you had something to tell me?"
"Yeah." At this time, Zhao Bilian suddenly became a little embarrassed: "About an hour ago, my father told me that Lu Xiaolang has been visiting brothels recently, and he has visited almost all of them."
Yang Jinhua was drinking tea and was stunned when she heard the words. After a few breaths, she suddenly covered her mouth and coughed continuously, her face turning red.
Choked.
After finally getting some relief in her throat, she quickly put down the cup in her hand and said anxiously, "Impossible! Lu Xiaolang has a cool temperament, is a decent and steady person, how could he suddenly go to a brothel, and even visit all the brothels in the city? Why is it like this!"
Yang Jinhua now has some understanding of matters between men and women, especially the book "The Jade Sutra of the Lady". Although she only read two or three sentences every day, she finished it after a long time.
From then on, she learned a lot of little knowledge that she had never known and her mother would not teach her.
When I thought of Lu Sen having sex with other women in the brothel, I suddenly felt a sour and uncomfortable feeling.
"But father said that Lu Xiaolang never stayed overnight. He just went there to have some drinks and listen to some music."
Yang Jinhua was immediately relieved. Fortunately, Lu Xiaolang was still clean.
But she soon became puzzled: "Why did Lu Xiaolang suddenly want to visit a brothel?"
Zhao Bilian shook her head. Although her mother was a prostitute, she did not teach her about that when she was a child. After entering the Prince of Runan's Mansion, she was even more cared for by Zhao Yunrang. She was not familiar with the worldly affairs in terms of the relationship between men and women.
But Zhao Bilian added: "But I heard that young men like to go to brothels to play. My brothers often drink and never come home at night."
"How can your brother be compared with Lu Xiaolang!"
When Zhao Bilian heard this, she actually nodded: "Jinhua, you are right."
Yang Jinhua wanted to say something else when someone knocked on the door: "Zhao Bilian, Yang Jinhua, are you in there? I'm going to push the door open!"
The voice was clear and pleasant, but it carried a hint of arrogance.
When the two people in the room heard this, they jumped up immediately.
Yang Jinhua hurried to open the door, and then saw a girl in a pink long-sleeved silk skirt standing outside. She said in surprise: "Pang Meier, when did you come back?"
This girl was about the same age as Yang Jinhua. She was graceful and elegant, but had a cold temperament. When she stood there, she looked as proud as a plum blossom in the wind.
Pang Mei'er tilted her head, looking past Yang Jinhua, and saw Zhao Bilian standing inside, and said coldly: "I went to the Zhao residence to look for her, but she was not there, so I knew to come to your place."
"Come in." Yang Jinhua opened the door and waited for Pang Mei'er to come in. She closed the door and said, "You haven't told me when you came back from Hangzhou?"
"Yesterday." Pang Mei'er answered casually, and then looked at Zhao Bilian, and finally looked at the latter's mountain for two breaths, then looked away, snorting unhappily: "It's getting bigger, and the flesh is growing in places where it shouldn't grow."
Zhao Bilian was a little scared of Pang Mei'er, but after hearing what she said, she couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "This is called a gifted talent."
"Shameless." Pang Mei'er replied coldly, then placed a small bag in her right hand on the table and said, "This is a dessert I brought back from Hangzhou. Since both of you like sweet food, share it."
Pang Meir is the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Pang and is extremely loved by him. Everything she takes out must be top-notch.
Yang Jinhua opened the cloth bag, revealing beautiful pastries wrapped in white oil paper.
If it were usual, she and Zhao Bilian would definitely eat the cakes happily, but now neither of them was in the mood.
Pang Meier found a seat and sat down. Seeing that neither of them had any interest in the cakes, she frowned slightly and asked, "Yang Jinhua, when I came back, I heard that you had a man in your heart?"
Yang Jinhua's face immediately turned red: "You, you little bitch, what are you talking about?"
"When you were a 15-year-old, you snatched a souvenir from a man and you still don't want to admit it?"
Yang Jinhua covered her face with her hands, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Pang Meier looked at Zhao Bilian and asked, "You shameless person, do you know who the man in Yang Jinhua's heart is?"
"He's also the man I like." Zhao Bilian said proudly, "My taste is as good as Jinhua's. His name is Lu Sen. He's a very nice man, kind-hearted and handsome! He's definitely a rare match in the world."
Pang Meir was bewildered, and couldn't even maintain the cold temperament on her face. She didn't understand. She just went to live at her grandmother's house in Hangzhou for a while, but when she came back, her two friends were looking for men, and they were looking for the same man!
At the same time, Lu Sen received the Su family's father and son at his home.
Su Shi said with a sad face: "Lu Xiaolang, my father and I are going back to Shu. We are passing by this short mountain, so we came up to say goodbye to you."
"You brothers have just passed the palace examination and are preparing to be appointed as officials. Why do you suddenly want to leave Beijing?"
Su Shi sighed and said, "I received a letter from home a few days ago saying that my mother suddenly fell ill and passed away. We have to go back to observe mourning. If we see her again, it will be three years later."
Su Shi felt that Lu Sen was a rare good man who was very tolerant of his temper.
Because the half bottle of golden honey that Lu Sen gave him was really delicious. In his eyes, those who gave him delicious food were all good people and his good friends.
So when I passed by here, I stopped by to say goodbye.
Lu Sen remembered that this seemed to have happened in history.
He thought for a moment, then stood up and took out a bottle of fresh honey from the cabinet, saying, "Don't be sad. This honey is not only delicious, but it can also save lives at critical moments. The capital is a long way from Shu. If you really encounter an accident, whether it is a disease caused by unfamiliar climate or a serious injury, drinking this honey can save your life. So don't be greedy and eat up this big elbow on the way."
The Su family, father and son, all looked at Lu Sen strangely, with expressions of wanting to say something but stopping themselves, as if they had seen a charlatan.
