A few confused individuals quickly reacted, and Wang Jian, who secretly found it intriguing, was the first to realize this point. No wonder he always felt that the divine doctor had a somewhat feminine demeanor in the ice cave; he initially thought it was just her nature! It turned out that this person was none other than the divine doctor they had invited. With such a beautiful lady, Luzi certainly did not lose out! Seeing everyone still in a daze, he hurriedly explained, "General! This is our great benefactor, the one who saved your Old Immortal!"
Upon hearing Wang Jian's reminder, Luzi immediately recalled that an old man with a white beard came every day to check his pulse and treat him. He had always vaguely smelled a floral fragrance but mistakenly thought it was the scent of herbs.
So that's how it is!
He quickly bowed respectfully and said, "My life is given by this lady; I owe you my life. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that great kindness does not require thanks, but I must express my heartfelt gratitude. If you could tell me your name, I will never forget it in this lifetime."
The divine doctor was indeed so beautiful!
Li Xin and Shisan exchanged glances, feeling secretly relieved. After all, this was the person they had brought back from the mountain! They had no idea about her appearance! What if she were extremely ugly? They would have to find a block of tofu to commit suicide as an apology to the world!
The divine doctor did not expect anyone to be grateful. If it weren't for General Wang of Qin State vowing that her future husband would be a hero of unparalleled greatness, she wouldn't have thought of breaking the rules to come down from the mountain! That would be simply dreaming! She quickly stopped Luzi, who intended to perform grand gestures of gratitude, and smiled, "It is the duty of a healer to treat and save lives. It is merely a small effort and not worth mentioning!"
Luzi understood that politeness came from having the capital for it; it was not due to arrogance. Without the divine doctor's assistance, he believed he would have already succumbed to his brothers' offerings! However, he still acknowledged the so-called responsibility of a healer and nodded in agreement. As the saying goes, one should repay even a small favor with great gratitude. At this moment, there was no need for any gentleman to make promises; he just needed to know in his heart what to do.
The divine doctor across from him was not from a wealthy family; her lack of pretentiousness was perfectly normal. In fact, Luzi found such restraint bothersome; her carefree attitude made her seem more approachable. After some inquiries, he learned her name: Jiang Xiaolu.
Since she was a descendant of the Shennong Family, her surname Jiang could not be wrong. The tribal leader of Qishan during ancient times also bore the surname Jiang and was revered alongside the Yellow Emperor as one of the ancestors of Huaxia.
The "Lu" in Jiang Xiaolu's name did not refer to land but rather indicated the number six. Upon hearing that her name involved a number, everyone in the room simultaneously glanced at Shisan. Little Lu ranked sixth in her family; in terms of order, she should be much lower!
Shisan naturally understood what everyone’s sly looks implied and pouted without saying anything. Hmph! If we were talking about age, this young lady should be calling me "brother"! No matter how you argue about it, you can't possibly call me "younger brother"!
It is not pleasant for a girl to be directly called Xiao Liu'er, but that was the social norm at the time. Women did not have their own names like men; after marriage, they could only be referred to by their husband's surname. For example, if a woman from the Wang family married a man from the Du family, she would be known as part of the Du Wang Clan.
Luzi was certainly not a representative of old feudal remnants, but some rules still had to be followed. Therefore, he proposed changing the character for "six" (陸) to the character for "land" (陸), making it sound more pleasant to outsiders. If they agreed, they could refer to her as Jiang Xiaolu from then on!
The descendant of the divine physician's family pondered for quite a while, leaving Luzi and others waiting until their flowers had wilted. Lu Zizheng intended to say that if they disagreed, it would be fine. However, he heard the beautiful woman express that she did not want the character for "land" in her name but preferred to use the character for "rain" (雨) from Dew instead.
Upon hearing her agreement, it took the four men quite some time to adjust. Eventually, they realized that she would no longer be called Jiang Xiaolu, but rather Jiang Xiaoyuer!
Luzi immediately expressed his approval, nodding in appreciation: "This name is wonderful! Jiang Xiaoyuer! It evokes the idea of spring rain nourishing everything silently!"
When Jiang Xiaoyuer sensed that someone misunderstood her name, she quickly corrected him: "You are mistaken! From now on, my surname is Lu and my name is Jiang, so you can call me Xiao Yu'er!"
Luzi scratched his forehead and took a while to adapt again. Suddenly realizing the implications, he hurriedly said, "My great benefactor! This simply cannot be! With such a name and surname, how will you ever get married in the future?!"
What a fool! He couldn't even grasp her meaning! It seemed that not only was his physical reaction slow, but his mind was also muddled!
Wang Jian quickly winked at Li Xin, signaling that this was a rare opportunity! If they missed it, they might face dire consequences! Moreover, Xiao Yu'er was not like Lu Chu; she did not have a complicated background waiting to be cleared up. If she could stay by Brother's side, Luzi would become an immortal war god in the future!
Li Xin, who was already full of mischief, had not yet grasped what the character for "rain" (雨) meant in relation to Dew. In other words, Xiao Yu'er had already agreed to this marriage proposal! At that moment, he looked up just in time to see Wang Jian making faces at him and quickly understood what was happening. He hurriedly dragged Thirteen over and bowed with Wang Jian.
"We greet our esteemed Sister-in-law! Brothers pay their respects!"
Upon hearing this, Luzi fainted on the spot and angrily exclaimed, "You are simply being ridiculous! How can you just decide something like this!? What kind of behavior is this? Without parental consent or a matchmaker's words, how can marriage be treated so lightly?!"
Wang Jian was determined to facilitate this matter and immediately declared that the role of the matchmaker belonged to him. "General, just agree! As for the lack of elders... Master is not here, so we can be expedient! I believe he would be delighted to hear about this! If you still think this is inappropriate, I will report to King Zhao directly for a marriage decree!"
As long as the old man, King Zhao of Qin, nodded in agreement, Luzi would not dare to defy the order. As for Xiao Yu'er’s identity, there was naturally no issue because historically it has always been said that a wife follows her husband’s status. Once she had a title, everything else would be easy.
The so-called tradition of not matching doors and households seemed non-existent in the Qin State, right? In our country, as long as one has military achievements, commoners can rank among the Three Dukes. That Zhang Lu! No, it should be called Fan Ju! Wasn't he just a commoner before his rise? Now he is already a Chancellor of the Qin State! Sun Thirteen stifled a laugh and immediately supported General Wang Jian's idea of approaching the King Qin about this matter.
Think about disagreeing!? Do you dare!?
Li Xin did not want Luzi's reputation for liking men to become a classic tale again; after all, at least a hundred soldiers had witnessed the scene on the city wall! Repeatedly like this, which family would dare to marry their daughter to you in the future!? He hurriedly waved his hand, indicating for Thirteen to go somewhere cool. Then he firmly supported Wang Jian, saying, "General Lu! I believe General Wang is fully capable of being the matchmaker!"
