Chapter 404 Pan Jinlian
Chapter 404 Pan Jinlian

The person who can teach you this set of leg techniques must be an extraordinary person. I wonder who this master is?"
"I don't know about that either. After that master taught me the leg technique, he left without telling me his name."
Lu Cheng felt a little regretful when he heard this. He didn't know whether the master who taught Wu Song martial arts was the legendary martial arts master Zhou Tong.
The two returned to the city, Lu Cheng ordered a table of wine and food, and the two ate and chatted.
In the original novel, Wu Song first appeared when he met Song Jiang at Chai Jin's farm. At that time, Wu Song had a fight with someone and knocked him unconscious. Thinking that he had killed someone, he ran away directly. He was gone for two years, and later he reunited with his elder brother Wu Dalang in Yanggu County.
In fact, Wu Song's character was indeed lacking in discipline. Wu Dalang usually had to do business to earn money to support his brothers, and he had no time to discipline his younger brother, which naturally cultivated Wu Song's free and easy character. In addition, he was born strong and powerful, and few people could rival him, so he naturally developed a combative habit, which was difficult to change later.
Wu Song now has never traveled far and has never been around the world. He is just a complete rookie.
It only took Lu Cheng a few words to control Wu Song. Coupled with the force he had just used to subdue Wu Song and the plenty of food and wine he had now, he quickly became familiar with Wu Song.
"Brother Lu, Wu Song has never been far away since he was a child. If I hadn't met Brother Lu today, I would have thought I was invincible. I must tell my brother about this and go out to travel and meet some heroes out there."
"That's a good thing. Going out and traveling can also broaden your horizons. There are many remarkable people in our Yuncheng County, such as Chao Gai, the famous Heavenly King with a Pagoda, and Zhu Tong, the head of Yuncheng. If you want to go out and travel, you can go to my place first."
"Okay, I'll talk to my brother later."
When Wu Song was six-tenths drunk, Lu Cheng stopped him from drinking and asked him to pack up a jar of wine, a roast chicken and a side dish and take it home to drink.
Just after seeing Wu Song off, Lu Cheng returned to the inn and was about to rest when he saw a message pop up on the system panel:
"Trigger the side quest, Brotherhood. Wu Song: My brother Wu Dalang is alive."
Lu Cheng smiled slightly. This side quest was a reward that came right to his door.
Because his parents died early, Wu Song was raised by his brother since childhood. For Wu Song, his brother Wu Dalang was both a brother and a father, and his only weakness.
If Wu Song is a sharp knife, then Wu Dalang is his scabbard. After Wu Dalang's death, Wu Song was completely free, just like a demon who had unsealed himself and had no more worries.
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng called Lai Fu: "Lai Fu, how have you been finding out these past two days?"
"Master, I have already found out. There is indeed a wealthy man named Zhang in Qinghe County. He owns hundreds of acres of fertile land and two shops that do some grain business. He has a beautiful maid named Pan Jinlian, who is only seventeen years old and as beautiful as a flower...
Mr. Zhang and his son both wanted to take Pan Jinlian into their room, and the father and son were often jealous of each other, which made Mr. Zhang's wife very dissatisfied. She had long wanted to sell Pan Jinlian off. "
Lu Cheng nodded: "You find an opportunity, spend some money, and buy Pan Jinlian."
"Yes, Master, I'll do it right away."
These days, the price of selling a maid was not expensive. If there was a natural disaster or man-made calamity and the people were fleeing, you only needed to give out some food to exchange for some maids.
Of course, the price would be higher for maids who are beautiful, virgin, or have special skills.
Pan Jinlian was born into a tailor's family. She was skilled in needlework and beautiful. Under normal circumstances, her price would not be cheap.
Lai Fu was a smart man. He first inquired about some information near Mr. Zhang's house, and then took advantage of the time when Mrs. Zhang was out buying cloth and used a bottle of perfume to speak to her.
Due to the limited production of perfume, the amount circulated in various places was relatively small. Although Mrs. Zhang had heard of it before, she had never been able to buy it. When she saw Lai Fu had it, she immediately wanted to buy it.
Lai Fu said that these were his master's things and he had no right to sell them. He then inadvertently revealed that his master was in need of a young and beautiful maid.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she thought of the coquettish woman in her own yard and immediately said that she had a young and beautiful maid who she was planning to sell.
The next thing will be much easier to talk about.
In the end, Lai Fu pretended to go back to ask his master, and after obtaining Lu Cheng's consent, he exchanged Pan Jinlian for 5 bottles of perfume and obtained Pan Jinlian's indenture.
In less than two days, Lai Fu brought Pan Jinlian to Lu Cheng.
I saw that Pan Jinlian was indeed extraordinary, with eyebrows like willow leaves in early spring, a face like peach blossoms in March, a well-proportioned figure, a slender waist, a delicate mouth, skin whiter than snow, a hint of melancholy between her brows, and eyes as clear as autumn water.
After looking up and seeing Lu Cheng, the sadness between Pan Jinlian's brows instantly faded a little, and her eyes stared at Lu Cheng for a long time.
Lai Fu at the side coughed lightly and said, "Miss Pan, this is my young master. What do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I? My young master's appearance is not inferior to Pan An and Song Yu in any way."
Lu Cheng coughed lightly, interrupting Lai Fu's boasting: "Your name is Pan Jinlian?"
"Yes, I have met you, sir."
"No need to be polite, just follow me from now on, and you will also have fine clothes and delicious food."
"Thank you, sir, for saving me from this sea of suffering."
Before, when they were at Mr. Zhang's house, Mr. Zhang, who was already in his forties, and his son had always coveted Pan Jinlian. If Pan Jinlian had not refused to give in, and if Mrs. Zhang had not tried to stop them, her innocence would have been lost long ago.
The reason why she was unwilling to obey the rich man Zhang and his son was, on the one hand, that they were both too ugly and wretched, and on the other hand, Pan Jinlian knew that they would not be able to take responsibility for her, and at most they would just play around with her, and in the end she would not even get the status of a concubine.
Now that she had met the young, handsome, and elegant Mr. Lu, Pan Jinlian was naturally willing to marry him. Moreover, Lai Fu had told her before that Mr. Lu had not yet married, and if she followed him, she should be able to have the status of a concubine.
What's more, Pan Jinlian was just a maid who was sold here and there and had no ability to control her own destiny.
Meeting a man like Lu Cheng is already her best choice.
At the same time, Wu Song came to Lu Cheng every day to drink and fight in the past two days. Every time he was beaten up and then drank some good wine, Wu Song felt very happy and wished he could just pull Lu Cheng to become sworn brothers.
Seeing that the time was right, Lu Cheng went straight to see Wu Dalang and proposed to take the two brothers to settle down on his own farm in Yuncheng County.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dalang immediately agreed and began to prepare to move.
Seeing this, Wu Song was also a little curious: "Brother, why did you agree to move as soon as Brother Lu asked you to?"
"Erlang, brother, I have been in Qinghe County for so long. Because of my appearance and figure, I have been looked down upon by others. In fact, I have thought about moving away before. This time when I met Mr. Lu, he looked at me differently from others. There was no trace of ridicule or contempt, as if I was a normal person like you."
"My brother is a normal person. If anyone dares to laugh at me, I will beat him up."
"Okay, listen to me. I can see that Mr. Lu really admires you, and you are happy to be with him. Since our parents died, we have nothing to worry about in Qinghe County. It would be nice to move to a different place."
"I understand. I'll help you pack your things."
"Don't bother yourself. Go to the real estate agency and ask them to sell our house so that you can have more money and settle down there."
"Brother, didn't Brother Lu say he would help us settle down?"
“Even if you are the one who has done something for you, you should be humble and not let others look down on you.”
"Okay, I understand. I'll listen to my brother."
