Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Celebration Banquet

Xiangyuan Building.

Lu Yunxi specially instructed Qing'er to invite the county lord Cheng Yan and Tong Meng, firstly, he wanted to celebrate today's talk about Liu Gongzi, and secondly, he also wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the county lord Cheng Yan and Tong Meng to know each other.

This Cheng Yan County Lord is well-informed, and he has been in the border for so many years, and he heard that there is a treatment for pneumonia outside the Saiwai, which is extremely effective, and may be able to cure Tong Meng's pneumonia.

Who knows, this Tong Meng is already coughing and coughing so much that he can't get off the ground at all, except for resting on the couch all day long, he actually doesn't go out of the door.

Li Er sat beside Lu Yunxi, looked away, and glanced at her.

This Lu Yunxi frowned, put one hand on the tabletop, his fingertips touched the table slightly, and his eyes were wrinkled.

"Miss Lu is going to have dinner and wine today, I thought there was something good. Why do you look so sad?"

Li Er said as she poured the tea, handed the cup to Lu Yunxi, and said softly with an indifferent smile on the corner of her mouth.

Lu Yunxi took the teacup, put it in his hand and warmed it, then pursed the corners of his lips, turned his head, glanced at Li'er, and asked softly, "Li'er, you have seen more people over the years, and you are more knowledgeable than me." There's something I'd like to ask you. ”

Li Er glanced Lu Yunxi up and down, with an indifferent smile in her eyes, and nodded lightly, "But it's okay to say it." ”

"If a person's father is poisoned, but the person refuses to let outsiders investigate, what will be the reason?"

Hearing this, Li Er's eyes frowned tighter, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, with a slightly surprised look, she glanced at Lu Yunxi, her throat moved lightly, and she said in a low voice, "Miss Lu, what happened?"

Lu Yunxi couldn't tell the truth about Miss Mi today, so she had to purse the corners of her lips, lower her head, and put her hands tightly on the table.

Seeing this, Li Er didn't ask, just thought for a moment, and then said, "I have met such a benefactor before. His father died in the middle of the night in the house of a concubine. People outside rumored that this concubine was a murderer, but as the eldest son, he refused to investigate everything thoroughly, and just drove the concubine out of the house. ”

All the questions in Lu Yunxi's heart were ticked out.

She let out an "oh", sat forward a little, stared into Li'er's eyes, and said softly, "Why?"

Li Er didn't answer, but took out a handkerchief, covered the corners of her mouth, her eyes were slightly curved, the corners of her mouth were lightly raised, she smiled, leaned closer to Lu Yunxi's side, and said in a low voice, "Later, someone found out that after this concubine was driven out of the mansion, it was always raised by that benefactor. In fact, the two of them have long been secretly married. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi stirred the corners of his eyebrows, it turned out that the son robbed his father and wife, and he has seen a lot from ancient times to the present, but if he wants to kill his father, it seems that the two are true love.

Thinking of such a story, even in the previous life of Huaguo, it was to make social news headlines.

People love to see such bloody street gossip the most. [There's nothing shocking about this, it's still that question, you have to remember that the heroine is a modern person thinking!]

Li Er nodded solemnly, pursed her lower lip, and continued, "Later, this matter was known to the people, and the reputation of the benefactor was also ruined. In the end, he gradually disappeared from people's sight, and even now, no one knows whether he died or left the capital. ”

Lu Yunxi pursed her lips, the tip of her nose moved up and down, and sighed.

Although this incident sounds like a similar outcome, it is far from what happened in Miss Mi's house.

This Miss Mi would never have a close relationship with any of the concubines in Boss Mi's mansion, so why didn't she let herself thoroughly investigate Boss Mi's affairs?

At this time, he saw Si Tingyan panting and pushing open the door of the box, glanced inside, and handed the medicine box on his body to the apprentice behind him, telling him to go back to the store early to prepare for tomorrow's needle.

"Why did you invite us to dinner today?" Si Tingyan walked into the room, glanced at a few empty chairs beside Lu Yunxi, thought for a moment, but still sat next to Li'er.

Seeing this, Lu Yunxi's heart tightened, and she only squeezed out a slightly embarrassed smile, "Speaking of which, this matter also has something to do with you." ”

"Me?"

Si Tingyan pointed to the tip of his nose and looked at Lu Yunxi in puzzlement.

But she didn't answer again, only laughed lightly.

After a long while, I saw Cheng Yan also walk in from outside the house.

Lu Yunxi told everyone about Liu Gongzi today, and Cheng Yan and Li Er were happy that Lu Yunxi and Liu Gongzi had reached a cooperation today.

But this Si Tingyan turned out to be hesitant.

"Si Gongzi, do you think there's anything wrong?"

Seeing that Si Tingyan was not happy at all for himself to negotiate cooperation, Lu Yunxi glanced at Si Tingyan's side face and asked softly.

Si Tingyan frowned, didn't look over, glanced at Lu Yunxi, and sighed twice, "This Liu Gongzi is from Jiangnan, if you want to do freight, wouldn't you have to take the waterway?"

Lu Yunxi, Cheng Yan and the others glanced at each other and nodded.

"This Yanqing Mansion is in charge of the waterway, if you want to reach a long-term cooperation with Liu Gongzi in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to bypass the Yanqing Palace. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi's brows couldn't help frowning.

She hadn't thought about that.

With Ouyang Zhi's current relationship with himself, let alone helping Liu Gongzi open up the waterway, let him know that he has a partner who wants to go to Jiangnan through the waterway, but he is afraid that he will get in the way.

Seeing that the smile on Lu Yunxi's face solidified little by little, and finally disappeared, Si Tingyan couldn't help but sigh, his mind moved slightly, and he had already thought of a countermeasure.

Actually, these things are not difficult to solve. If there is a customs clearance disc, even if the King of Yanqing wants to make things difficult for you, it will not be easy to act. After speaking, Si Tingyan looked at Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan glanced at Lu Yunxi, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Tomorrow, I will enter the palace to ask you for a pair of discs." ”

Lu Yunxi looked away in surprise and looked at Cheng Yan with a little joy, "Is the county lord really willing to help?"

"You're my friend, what kind of friend is it if I can't help with these little things?"

Cheng Yan smiled, picked up the wine glass in front of him, held one hand on the bottom of the glass, and made a toast gesture.

Seeing this, Lu Yunxi's sorrowful expression instantly decreased by more than half.

She also picked up her wine glass, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Then I thanked the county lord first." ”

After speaking, Lu Yunxi and Cheng Yan looked at each other and smiled, and both drank all the water in their hands.

Li Er immediately added drinks to the two, "Anyway, it's a good thing that Miss Lu can negotiate cooperation with Liu Gongzi today." As for the future, we will talk about it later. This cup I salute Miss Lu and the county lord. ”
