Three years later, Xia Lu looked at her father, who had just returned from a business trip. She held onto her father's thigh with her short legs. "Father, you're back. You said you wanted to teach me martial arts," Xia Lu said in a small and childish voice.
"Okay, martial arts will be very tiring. Xiao Luer, you have to persevere." Xia Fu squatted down and patted his daughter's little head. He felt a little helpless. According to his idea, his daughter must be pampered. She should learn to be a maid and read the Book of Songs. However, his daughter liked to learn martial arts. Since she was two years old, she had been asking him to teach her martial arts. He originally wanted to fool her, but his daughter was too smart and he could not fool her at all.
"Daughter is not afraid of hardships." Her prayers in her mother's stomach obviously did not work. She was still a girl. As a girl from ancient times, it was simply a tragedy. Therefore, in order to protect herself, she had to learn martial arts. When she got married, she had to be a fierce and fierce wife. Although her reputation was not good, she would live a comfortable life.
"What's wrong? Is Xiao Luer pestering you to learn martial arts again?" Xia Lu's mother walked out with a big belly. Looking at her cute daughter, she felt a little helpless. Why did her daughter like to learn martial arts? Wasn't it better to learn from a maid and play the zither?
"Yes." Xia Fu nodded helplessly. "Forget it, I know what to do. Xiao Luer learning some martial arts is not bad. She can protect herself and when she gets married in the future, she won't be wronged in her husband's family."
Xia Lu's mother did not say it out loud because she did not need to worry about being wronged. However, if she became a fierce woman after learning martial arts, how could she get married in the future?
Xia Lu did not understand her mother's worries. She was especially serious about learning martial arts from her father. Xia Fu was valued by Ning Guogong in his early years and became his personal guard, proving that his martial arts were indeed good. Xia Lu learned seriously and inherited Xia Fu's talent. At the age of five, she was very powerful with a whip.
Once, her younger brother was bullied by another child. Xia Lu directly took a whip and found the other party's brother. After a good beating, the other party's brother asked his friends for help, but he was still defeated by Xia Lu. In the end, Xia Lu basically whipped all the men around her age at the border. Thus, Xia Lu's mother's prophecy came true. No one dared to marry Xia Lu.
"What? Father, Mother, I won't marry her. I won't marry that tigress even if I die." This was basically what all the men at the border who had been whipped by Xia Lu thought. As a seven foot tall man, he actually could not beat his own wife. It was very embarrassing. He did not want to marry her.
"What do you know? Xia Xiaowei was Ning Guogong's personal guard. Although Ning Guogong has passed away, the relationship is still there. If you marry Xia Lu, your future will be limitless. Do you know that?" Parents loved their son and had a long-term plan. These people were really angry when they saw their son acting so cowardly.
"I don't want that either. Even if she's a princess, I don't want to marry her." For the sake of his dignity, he did not want to marry that tigress.
The matchmaker that Xia Lu's mother found in the end basically told her that there was no chance. After all, other people loved their son dearly. Xia Lu's mother wiped her tears and complained to her Husband. He could have taught Xiao Luer anything, but he had to teach her martial arts. Now, she could not get married and could only stay at home and be an old maid.
"If I can't get married, then so be it. Father and Mother, are you not willing to raise me?" Xia Lu did not care very much.
"Sister, don't worry. I will raise you in the future." Xia Lu's younger brother, the ten-year-old Xia Ji, hugged Xia Lu and promised innocently.
Xia Fu and Xia Lu's mother saw that Xia Lu and her brother were harmonious and were very happy. It was not impossible for them to raise Xiao Luer for the rest of their lives. However, how could Xiao Luer tolerate the rumors outside? Xiao Luer had a bad temper.
Since the age of 14, Xia Lu had heard those gossipy women say to her mother, "Why hasn't your Xia Lu found a husband yet? You're already 14. If you don't get married soon, you'll be an old maid."
After the age of fifteen, your family's Xia Ji is already eleven. In two years, he will be getting married, but Xia Lu hasn't found a husband yet. Won't that delay your family's Xia Ji?
Every time these gossipy women left, Xia Lu's mother would hide and cry. Xia Lu saw everything and remembered that in her previous life, she had also left her parents and gone overseas because of these gossipy women. In fact, she was also selfish. She just wanted to hide and have some peace and quiet. However, her parents still stayed there and listened to those gossipy women say unpleasant things. She actually felt quite guilty.
"Father, didn't you say that many soldiers in your military camp couldn't find a wife? Can you find someone to marry me off to?" Xia Lu went to Xia Fu and asked.
"What are you talking about? What unpleasant things did those gossipy women say this time? When a woman gets married, she will be reincarnated. How can you be so careless? "Xia Fu's face darkened. He was 100% satisfied with his daughter. It was those brats who were useless. They couldn't even beat his daughter.
Xia Lu pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She really didn't want to make things difficult for her parents. Moreover, in ancient times, it didn't matter who she married. Other than commoners, anyone could have three wives and four concubines. It was also possible to marry these soldiers. At least, they wouldn't have a concubine.
"My good daughter, don't worry about those people's sour words. Father has already sent a message to the capital's Ning Guofu. Once Father finishes his work, we'll go to the capital and get rid of the Ning Guofu. We'll find you a good family that's skilled in both civil and martial arts." Father Xia patted Xia Lu's head and said softly, "We don't care about those people." Xia Fu snorted. Previously, he didn't get a reply from Ningguo Province. Now that he got it, he naturally couldn't let his daughter suffer any more grievances.
"Ningguo Province?" Xia Lu felt that this mansion was quite familiar.
"Your father used to be the personal guard of the late Marquess Ning, so he had some face in front of the late Marquess Ning. Although the late Marquess Ning passed away, the one who inherited the title was his son. At that time, your father had a good relationship with the late Marquess Ning's son. He even took him out to play. He replied to me yesterday, saying that we'll go to the capital after I deal with the matter at hand," Xia's father said.
