In the Orange Fragrance Garden in the East Courtyard of Lu Mansion, "Miss, this is what the second son of Su asked the slave to bring to you quietly, do you still like the butterfly flowers on this silk?" Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Miss, Miss?" Qiao Hong called softly a few times, but she didn't know what was wrong with Miss, so she suddenly started to be stunned.

Lu Shu sat quietly in the courtyard, and his sitting posture was full of beautiful style.

For some reason, Lu Shu took the handkerchief and looked stupid. said: "Don't see him again in the future." Even if you see it, you won't get anything. ”

What does that mean?

"Miss?" Lu Shu's sudden change made Qiaohong a little confused. Her young lady has always been pampered, and the second master loves her like this, if the stars in the sky can be plucked, I am afraid she will not hesitate to pick them, what else in the world is she can't get?

Qiao Hong hurriedly followed, and before she could catch up, she saw the figure of the second master Lu. She covered her lips in horror, wanting to stop the young lady, but she was afraid to cover up.

I could only force my head to bow my head calmly, and hurriedly walked through the small gravel road to keep up, and said in my heart that maybe she thought too much, the old man of the handkerchief might not necessarily see it, even if he saw it, it was just the most popular handkerchief on the streets of Changjing. The old man doesn't often walk over there, probably he doesn't know the meaning inside.

Here, Lu Shu was just walking back in a trance, and he didn't notice for a while that he actually bumped into Lu Zhuang's body.

Seeing her so lost and depressed, as if she had lost three souls and seven spirits, Lu Jian frowned instantly, he waited for the news of the King of Huainan for two days and did not hear back, and at this time his patience was almost worn out! At this time, seeing Lu Shu like this, there was a sense of hatred that iron is not made of steel, and the anger in his heart suddenly came out, and he scolded fiercely: "What are you doing? Don't you even look at the road when you walk? You were also the housekeeper lady, where did your manners and manners go!?"

"Father!" Lu Shu hid the veil back, and the moment he looked up, his eyes turned red, his father had never been so fierce.

Seeing this, Lu Pai's heart softened suddenly, and he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How many times have I told you that you are going to be that person in the future, why do you not understand etiquette so much?"

"Yes, my father taught me. Lu Shu stabilized his mind and respectfully admitted his mistake.

He said, "Father, is my sister okay after she gets married?" These days, she was overwhelmed by her heavy studies, and Lu Chuan didn't have time to inquire carefully about her marriage.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Lu Zhuang's eyes: "Hmph, it's really stupid to marry a cripple if she doesn't choose the prince well! ”

"That's what my father said. Lu Shu bowed his head respectfully, and a trace of relaxed happiness flashed in his eyes.

Since she came to Uncle Lu's house, she has been on the same page with Lu Chuan. She felt that their family had fallen to such a point, and it was all to blame for the Uncle Lu family! It was all to blame for the fact that the Uncle Lu family had not enough money, causing her father to lose his official position!

The reason for this has to start from the beginning, although her mother is Pei Rong, the second daughter of the Pei family, but since marrying Lu Rong, the second uncle of Lu, her life situation is not better than that of Lu Chuan's mother Pei Jiang.

Lu Xiuyuan, the uncle of the Lu family, is full of sage poems and books, but he is different from the poor scholars in the past, on the contrary, he is quite courageous. When he was young, he gave up the opportunity to gain fame and followed the caravan to the sea to start a business.

Since then, it has been out of control, and since accumulating contacts and experience, he has moved to his hometown. It's been twenty years.

At first, the ancestors of the Lu family were not high-ranking officials and nobles, their parents died early, and Lu Xiuyuan and Lu Ji were orphaned and fostered in distant relatives' homes. The living conditions are difficult, and he is even more worried about studying, and even the silver money that Lu Xiuyuan buys pen, ink, paper and inkstone is earned by selling some small antiques by himself.

The path of studying was really difficult, so Lu Xiuyuan simply gave up and devoted himself to business. It can be said that the prosperity of Lu Xiuyuan's generation is really based on Lu Xiuyuan's step by step.

And Lu Shu's father, Lu Jiao, was a gentleman who ate, drank, prostituted, gambled and had nothing to do, even though he read some books with the help of his eldest brother, but there was still no real ink in his stomach.

On the contrary, the more the eldest brother helps, the more he looks down on the eldest brother who works for the copper plate all day long, and thinks that the eldest brother is like a girl who has to calculate a few catties and taels all day long, which is really not the husband's doing.

One day, Lu Xiuyuan got married, and married Pei Jiang, a white-clothed saint who was famous in the entire Dajing Dynasty, Lu Jiao's eyes were red-eyed! That was a woman who was born like a fairy, but her personality was tricky and weird, and she was so good at medicine that men didn't dare to move the knife on weekdays, in her hands it was like holding an embroidery needle, disemboweling and disemboweling, and what she did was to snatch her life in front of Lord Yama.

Lu Jian saw envy, jealousy and hatred in his eyes. put down his body and followed the eldest brother to grind every day, and before he waited for half a year, he really asked for Pei Rong, the second lady of the Lu family, that is, Pei Rong, the sister of Lu Chuanniang's sister Pei Jiang.

Back then, Pei Rong, the second lady of the Pei family, was also a competitive person, and she couldn't compare to Pei Jiang in terms of medical skills, and now she has to rely on Lu Xiuyuan to help her live under her nose, where is she willing. So I made an appointment before I passed the door. Lu Xiuyuan prepared 30,000 taels of silver for Lu, and also purchased two sets of houses covering an entire street, as well as 100 acres of fertile land and three farms, with an annual income of about 100,000 taels.

That year, Lu Xiuyuan took out almost half of the entire family property. This incident was a sensation at the time, and it almost became an after-dinner tea talk in Yangzhou.

I thought that life would go on like this, but Lu Jian was very bad at managing accounts, he thought, the shop, isn't it just the reason that money makes money, where to use the people to do it. Besides, he didn't bother to do it, the Dajing Dynasty was heavy on agriculture and suppressed business, and the status of merchants was not as good as that of peasants. He didn't have time to run, so how could he come forward.

So after getting married, he always invited some scholars and local officials Hu Tianhai, as if he had become a scholar who had read the scriptures. It just so happened that he had a good fate, and when he was in a hurry, he constantly gave benefits to his superiors, but in the end, he really fished in troubled waters and got a half-official position -- the head of the township! So he spent more and more money on it, and climbed from the head of the township to the head of the department, and then to the county magistrate. Even Pei Rong became more and more happy, his own master became an official. If she is on the rise, then she will be said to be the wife of the official in the future, and she will be the wife of the court in the future!

As long as she is one level higher than Pei Jiang, she is worth it in this life, at least she doesn't have to be like Pei Jiang, she turns over on people's bellies with knives all day long, Master Lu is not ashamed, she is still ashamed.

But there are clouds in the world, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. Officialdom is much more insidious and cunning than shopping malls. If the mall loses, at most the money is gone, but officialdom is different, if it is a big deal, the whole family will die!

At this time, when Lu Jian made a mistake and provoked the powerful, and then wanted to make money abroad, he found that the property left to him by his eldest brother back then was now only a few thin fields. As for the shops and farms, he had already sent people to sell them for silver, and to give them to the higher-ups.

Where is the money if you want money now? So there was no other way to ask Lu Xiuyuan for it.
