44. Inquiry

"Yes." Wei Jia responded, and explained one by one: "Ning Si previously received the life of the prince and followed Zheng Xinghe every step of the way. Zheng Xinghe was forced to be helpless, and only gave Ning Si back a few days ago, originally saying that business can be discussed, but there are rules for doing business, and since everyone wants to talk, they have to come up with some bargaining chips for business. I didn't know what was going on, and Zheng Xinghe suddenly relented. This business is very smooth to negotiate. Ning Si used the name of the Duan family, and he had already negotiated with Zheng Xinghe, and the two families each contributed half of the silver to directly build a business, and even the name of the business name was set. ”

"In the name of the Duan family?" The more King Pingnan listened, the more surprised he became, he raised his hand to interrupt Wei Jia's words, and said in surprise, "This method is what Ning Si thought?" Or is it what your prince thinks? ”

Wei Jia choked, and coughed uncertainly: "Hui Ye's words, this little one didn't ask in detail, but I just heard Ning Si mention it, like Zheng Xinghe specifically asked, saying that this business can't do without the name of Pingnan Wangfu, but it can't be used too bluntly, and asked Ning Si whether it is better to use the Duan family or the Xiao family, Ning Si asked the prince of the world, and the prince of the world decided on the Duan family. "The Xiao family is the old lady's maiden family, the old lady is from South Vietnam, and she is also inextricably linked to Miaojiang. The Duan family is the mother-in-law of the eldest aunt and grandmother, and it is a big family in Longxi, which is extremely prestigious in the south. The two families are considered relatives of the Pingnan Palace, and they can just take advantage of the reputation of the Pingnan Mansion without arousing suspicion.

King Pingnan's eyebrows rose higher and higher, he got up from his chair, his beard trembled, and he turned around the room several times before he paused, and then he sighed and hated iron and scolded: "You are sloppy for that bastard boy!" Don't you know? Where do people ask? It's clearly a reminder to that bastard boy! That kid came to the door by himself to talk to people about business, and after a few days of drying him, he was in a hurry, and he went to someone's shop! It's no wonder that girl doesn't look down on him, if it's Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can't look down on him! ”

King Pingnan said, snorted again, waved his hand to signal Wei Jia to retreat, paced in the room with his hands behind his back for half a circle, was silent for a moment, turned to look at the garrison, frowned and asked: "The little girl didn't let Zheng Xinghe loosen her mouth before, but it is easy for people to understand, after all, that bastard boy is not a business material, and people are tired and panicked when talking about business with him." Moreover, the tree is very popular, and the wealth is thiefd, that girl is only afraid that she is a bold and careful, knowing that she is clumsy and takes precautions, and she did not use the name of the Lu family at the beginning, which must be because she does not want people to know her relationship with Jingfeng Pharmacy, so it is reasonable not to let go. But after only a month's effort, Zheng Xinghe's attitude has taken a turn, and there must be some reason for this. You say, this is what Lu Chenghui meant? Or did the little girl mean it herself? ”

"This ......" the garrison hesitated to respond, thought about it for a while, and replied after pondering, "It's not good to say the small one, Jingfeng Pharmacy's business has reached this point, Lord Lu must be in the know, but it's hard to say who has the final say." Listening to what Wei Jia said just now, this matter seems to be Miss Lu's decision. But when the master asked, the little one remembered another thing. ”

"You say!" King Pingnan's eyebrows jumped, paused, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the garrison to continue.

Wei Shu thought for a while, and asked first: "Do you remember the incident when Miss Lu asked her to sell Mrs. Shen's dowry shop at the gate of the mansion to help the victims?" ”

"Why don't you remember? Didn't that bastard boy let Ning Si spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy someone else's shop, but the title deed was sent over and someone sent it back to him! As soon as King Pingnan heard this, he was angry and funny, pulled his beard and snorted a few times gloatingly, and then lit the garrison, "You go on!" ”

The garrison nodded, and explained thoughtfully: "This matter was ordered by the master before, and the little one was a little more distracted. The shop sold that day was small and checked, and most of them were managed by a shopkeeper named Liu Fuan, who was an old man of the Shen family, but he was not very honest, and eight out of ten shops in charge were losing money. This man had two sons, both of whom had donated tribute, and last year both of them went to the county government near the capital to find a messenger to sit, and I heard that he was very generous among his colleagues. A few days ago, one of the two sons of the Liu family was imprisoned for taking bribes and perverting the law, and the other was sentenced for forcibly seizing people's property and disregarding people's lives, and the whole family was implicated and exiled to the north. ”

After pausing for a moment, seeing that King Pingnan raised his eyebrows and nodded, the garrison continued: "Previously, Mrs. Shen's dowry was managed by the Lu family's big house Lin's family, and the shopkeepers in those shops changed by nearly half, only a few big shopkeepers were old people of the Shen family, and these people paid their accounts directly to the Lu family's big house Mrs. Lin, and Miss Lu seemed to have never taken care of it. Does the prince still remember the old man Tan who followed the old man of the Shen family before? Before the Liu family had an accident, Mr. Tan took his grandson to find Miss Lu in person, and the next day Mr. Tan asked his grandson to follow Steward Zhao, who was shouting at the door of the government that day to sell the shop. After those shops were sold, Liu Fuan originally pulled twenty or thirty shopkeepers to make trouble, but he was scared back. The old people of the Shen family, except for Liu Fuan's family, all stayed behind, and that Tan Xingshan and Zhao Mingde had only celebrated the New Year, and they ran to Lu Mansion with their account books every day or two, compared with before, it was like a different person. The shops left by the Lu family, Zhuangzi, didn't hear of anyone making any trouble-just sold a few shops, not only did they earn fame, but they also took all the existing dowries of Mrs. Shen quietly, and they couldn't be more stable. ”

When the garrison said this, he took a breath of admiration and sighed with a smile: "This kind of technique is not like Lord Lu's style. Regardless of anything else, looking at the situation in the middle, it seems that Lord Lu deliberately considered Miss Lu and asked Miss Lu to subdue the old people of the Shen family by herself, which forced Miss Lu to take action. Miss Lu's insight and intelligence are really rare, with only a few people, with the least effort, she forced Mrs. Lin to retreat without much effort, so that the old people of the Shen family were willing to bow down. Old Man Tan was afraid that he also saw that Miss Lu was unusual, so he hurriedly took his grandson to ask the girl for his guilt, wanting to leave a good fate for the Tan family. ”

"Well, that's a good thing to say!" King Pingnan nodded approvingly, his eyes were full of admiration and satisfaction, and he paced and muttered, "That girl is simple, and her mental knowledge is not ordinary people. She can let the people of the 18th Department of South Vietnam help her walk through the mysterious forest mountain, and this vision and insight cannot be underestimated. Old man Shen was amazing and brilliant back then, not only in business, but also very clear about the general trend of the world, that girl and his grandfather were like a withdrawal, she made extraordinary moves at a young age, and she knew that Taoguang was obscure, hidden deeply, more than the old man Shen back then, and the mystery of Lin Shan was mostly her own meaning. ”

"This girl is smart and generous, she should be the daughter-in-law of Lao Ziwei's family, but she can't be cheap to others!" As he spoke, King Pingnan suddenly remembered what was going on, and hurriedly stopped, and ran to the main courtyard with his robe.

Princess Zheng had just seen her son, and was chattering with the grandmother beside her with a long sigh, and before she could say a few words, she heard the girl outside to report, and as soon as the voice fell, she saw King Pingnan rushing into the main courtyard. Princess Zheng hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, and while instructing the maid to serve tea and water, she greeted her and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Why is you in such a hurry today? ”

"It's okay!" King Pingnan waved his hand nonchalantly, took the teacup from the girl's hand and poured it violently, then he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and waved away the girl in the room, pulled Princess Zheng into the inner room, looked at Princess Zheng's red eyes, twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Have you just seen that bastard?" What did he say to you off? ”

"What did you say? Brother Ji is just colder, I'm his mother, I don't know what kind of character he is? Where would he be angry because he said a word and a half? Princess Zheng shook her head and replied to King Pingnan, her words were full of worry and distress for her son, "I just don't look very happy when I see Brother Ji'er, he was fine two days ago, but since Mrs. Cui came over last time, his face was wrong." I guess that he really fell in love with the late sister, but there is no female dependant in Lord Lu's family, listening to Mrs. Cui's meaning, the Lu family seems to be in no hurry to marry the late sister, and I am afraid that the Lu family is a little unhappy. Hey, it's no wonder that the Lu family, I am also a mother, I know that I feel sorry for my daughter, and my sister is not too late, and it is common sense for the Lu family to want to see more. I thought, if it really can't work, I will go to the Lu family in person and ask their second wife, Mrs. Wang, to help intercede. Hey, I really like that girl, and I must like it when I see it......"

"It's useless for you to say that! The Lu family has the final say on Lu Chenghui! What's the use of you going to the people in the second room of the Lu family? King Pingnan saw that Princess Zheng's face was full of worry, then sighed, thought about it, and slapped the table to make a decision, "In this way, you don't care about this matter for now." I went down to the court tomorrow and went directly to find Lu Chenghui! Look what he has to say! ”

"This ......" Princess Zheng looked at King Pingnan in amazement, and only hesitated and worried for a long time, "Lord Lu is a father, and it is not good for him to come forward directly with this child's relatives, so Lord just asked Lord Lu like this, is it not appropriate?" ”

"What's wrong?" King Pingnan waved his hand indifferently, "The whole capital knows my temperament, Lao Tzu's hair is gray and he didn't hug his grandson, go and ask what's wrong with him?" ”
