Chapter Seventy-Three: Old Things
Lu Sheng put a warm handkerchief on his face, only then did he feel much more sober, he wiped his hands carefully, and asked, "But what news did you find?"
Lu Qiu lit the candle in the study and replied, "The slave has checked, that girl is the eldest girl of the Zhou family, Zhou Lanxin." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What else?" Lu Sheng asked reluctantly. Although he didn't want to disappoint the adults, Lu Qiu still shook his head and replied, "No." ”
Lu Sheng propped his head with one hand in a dejected manner, although he knew that he had thought too much, but when he knew the answer, he still felt indescribable disappointment in his heart.
"Your Excellency, you have been drinking all night, go over and have something to eat. This is your favorite peanut dumplings. Lu Qiu has been by Lu Sheng's side for many years, how could he not understand what he is thinking now.
Lu Sheng sighed, walked to the table, picked up the bowl and ate slowly. After a few bites, he put down the bowl and said, "You can see it, that kid is just too similar." The eyebrows and eyes are seven points similar to Mrs. Yu back then, but the temperament of the body is a little similar to Master Yu, do you say she will be ・・・・・・" Although the latter words were not spoken, but the tacit understanding of the master and servant for many years, Lu Qiu understood what he meant.
"No, it won't. Lu Qiu said decisively.
"How could someone as wise and knowledgeable as Master Yu not be able to keep his child?" Lu Sheng retorted unrelentingly.
"But no matter how wise a person is, he can't be an unpredictable prophet!" Lu Qiu retorted, subconsciously looked around, and said in a low voice, "We have been to the Jade Mansion, and we have guessed from the clues that the fire was not committed by ordinary bandits. It's related to the seizure of the heir, the eldest prince is unscrupulous, and the people under him are even more ruthless, how can they stay alive?"
"By the way, Mr. has been with the emperor back then, and it was Mr. who recommended the Zhou family to me. Isn't there any deep meaning in this?" Lu Sheng asked.
Lu Qiu pondered for a moment before saying, "If you want to say something profound, maybe it's the same as you, because Miss Zhou is a little similar to the people of the Yu family." If Miss Zhou is really from the Yu family. Her current situation will certainly not be the same as it is now. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Sheng asked with a frown.
Lu Qiu explained: "Old Man Fang used to be the emperor's teacher, but when the sun was in full swing, he was able to retreat bravely. This kind of strategy and wisdom is something that few people can match. With his unique vision and far-reaching strategy, he should know that the city government of the eldest lord of the Zhou family is only suitable for keeping the family business in peace. Since the Zhou family took over the errand issued by you, it has been very lively, and no one wants to avoid its edge. With the big tree of the Fang family supporting and you taking care of him, there will be no mistakes in his errands. But what about later?
After the rise of the Zhou family, it will definitely arouse the covetousness of the Quartet. At that time, the Zhou family's ship will rise and fall in the commercial sea, and it will definitely be very difficult. Without a good helmsman, a single wave can sink a ship. If Miss Zhou was really from the Yu family, how could Old Man Fang not give her a stable life? There is also the Rong family, the slave feels that looking at Old Master Rong's appearance of flies and dogs, the Rong family is not a good place to go. There are thousands of ways to break up this marriage, but the Fang family is laissez-faire, obviously not wanting to take care of it. ”
Lu Sheng didn't answer immediately, and pondered for a while before saying, "Maybe what you said has some truth, but I still don't believe that there is a coincidence in this world." ”
"My lord!" Lu Qiu exclaimed: "Do you still want to investigate?" Your Excellency, you also know that officialdom has ups and downs, and the slightest carelessness will be a catastrophe. In case you accidentally touch the emperor's reverse scales when you continue to track. The emperor is wise and decisive. Besides, if it really is, the Fang family will not only be carried by a junior who has been in sight. ”
Although Lu Qiu spoke incoherently, Lu Sheng understood what he meant and knew his worries. Looking at the candle flame that was dark and bright, he said faintly: "But if you don't check, I really can't let go." You know the life-saving grace of the Yu family. If she is really an orphan of the Yu family, I will do my best to take care of her. ”
"But・・・・・・" Lu Qiu was about to retort, but Lu Sheng waved his hand to interrupt him, "Don't worry, I won't act recklessly." I'm not going to Huzhou to find answers, and it's not good to alarm someone who shouldn't be alarmed, and it's not good to put that kid in danger. Let's go in another direction and go to the ancestral home of the Zhou family to check. There must be some clues. ”

"Crackling・・・・・・" A series of firecrackers sounded at the door of Zhou Ji's workshop, and Zhou Dahai was wearing a dark red satin robe, clasping his hands into fists, and slammed at the people on the street. A carriage came out of it, with a large red satin ribbon tied around its neck, and the cloth on the carriage was tied together with a red ribbon. This is the first batch of cloth out of the warehouse, transported to the post station, waiting for Lord Lu to check.
In the envious eyes of everyone, Zhou Dahai took his two younger brothers and several close relatives to the restaurant.
The third master of the Zhou family returned home with a smell of wine, and drank a cup of tea with a gloomy face. After she put down the teacup, Li asked softly, "What's the matter, but the eldest brother said you?"
"Nope. The old man shook his head and sighed, "When I came back, the eldest brother asked me to go to Mrs. Liu to say goodbye to Evian." ”
"Which one are you talking about?" asked Li with a frown.
"It's the Kong family, it's the talented Kong Hai. "It is said that the reason why the Chin Cha entered the workshop that day was because he was attracted by the words at the door. So the eldest brother has always wanted to marry the Kong family. It's just that I was busy with errands during this time and didn't bother to come over. Now that the cloth has been handed in, it will take a few days to notify what kind of material will be needed for the next batch. Therefore, the eldest brother wanted to take the opportunity to set Evian's marriage. ”
"Ah? this, this, what can I do about this? That, that, that Evian she ・・・・・・" is a fool A few words swallowed back in the stern gaze of the Wednesday master, Li stammered, "If that's the case, what should we do with Yuxue?" Li was completely panicked, obviously planning a good thing, but someone was inserted, how can this be good?
"Who says it's not?" said the Wednesday master was also very distressed, "If we had asked people to ventilate in advance, we would have robbed this marriage." But now that the eldest brother has a relationship with Qincha, there are still many places we will have to rely on in the future, what if we ・・・・・・!" Wednesday Old Man scratched his hair in distress, eager to pull off a strand of hair.
"Dad, mother, it's not all out of the ordinary. Yuxue walked out from behind the curtain, "Uncle doesn't work, isn't there still Evian?"
