Lu Chenghui listened to his daughter's words with a gentle face, poured another cup of tea and handed it over, and asked unhurriedly: "Zhong family or Qian family?" ”

Lu Wan's eyes were shining, and she smiled at her father with admiration and admiration, nodded and replied, "It's all here." But they can't be the stewards of the Lord, and I guess those two families heard the wind and wanted to rush over to see the situation first. "Wu Di is the ancestral home of the Zhong family and the Qian family, but all the families must have a lot of industries in the future, but of course there are not too many things that can make more money. Since the Shen family suspended sailing, many people have been staring at this part of the sea, and the Zhong family and the Qian family are naturally no exception, but the people of the family are more cautious than ordinary businessmen, and it is a little ugly to say, but they just want to take less risk and make money for nothing. However, they probably miscalculated her as the owner, she is not so kind!

Lu Chenghui paused for a moment carrying the teapot, raised his eyes to look at Lu Wan, was silent for a moment, the gloom at the bottom of his eyes was fleeting, and asked Lu Wan with interest: "Which one do you want to borrow?" ”

She knew her father must have guessed what she was thinking! Lu Wan took a sip of tea slowly while holding the teacup, and analyzed it with her father while laughing: "If you just talk about taking advantage of the situation, the Zhong family and the Qian family are both excellent families, but the Zhong family has a second princess, and the relationship with the second prince is too close, and the tree is very popular, so I still avoid it." Speaking of this, Lu Wan paused slightly, looked at Lu Chenghui's face, and muttered in a low voice, "What's more, the style of those adults of the Zhong family looks like we are not all the way, and it is better to take care of each other." ”

"Why aren't you all the way?" Lu Chenghui took Lu Wan's words in a calm voice, as if gossiping, and asked in a casual tone, "Several adults of the Zhong family who are officials in the court have excellent reputations in the court, and they also have a high prestige among the literati. You still don't like people? ”

Lu Wan choked in his throat in one breath, coughed several times, and evened out his breath, before he glanced at his father with a red face and resentment, spread his hands, and simply said honestly: "Whether the wind is good or the prestige is high, it has nothing to do with me!" Didn't my father teach me that you can't just look at the glamour on the outside, you have to look inside! If I can't see it myself, just look at how the people around him behave, and I can always see some signs. If everyone in the Zhong family can abide by the rules and be strict with themselves, I also admire their family. But now it's just a few adults who are officials on the outside supporting the façade, and I won't say much about what's going on inside. To do business, one must be flexible, and the other must be open, both of which are not compatible with the Zhong family. Not to mention anything else, I can't look down on the actions of the few stewards sent by the Zhong family to find Gu Sanyuan, they are probably used to seeing businessmen who come to the door, and they are also bullied by Gu Sanyuan, and they all want to suppress Gu Sanyuan openly and secretly. Gu Sanyuan's temperament is a soft and not hard, and he invited people out without saying a word. ”

Lu Chenghui looked at his daughter gently, and after listening to Lu Wan's muttering, Fang Shen nodded with a deep groan: "The Zhong family is too involved...... Okay, are you planning to let the Qian family participate in the shares? ”

Lu Wan nodded with a smile, and then shook his head, "The people of the Qian family have been low-key in recent years, and they are a century-old family, although they are a little stereotyped, fortunately, the people in their family are quite polite to others." Their family is in charge of business in Wudi, and Zheng Xinghe has a very high evaluation of him, saying that he has a very accurate vision and righteousness, and rarely oppresses people with power. But at this time, the people of the Qian family are just waiting, let's see, maybe there are other people, since it is a business, then it has to follow the rules of doing business, just see who can afford it. ”

Lu Chenghui looked at his radiant daughter helplessly and amusedly, sighed inaudibly, and nodded approvingly in Lu Wan's smiling eyes. This girl sees the general trend very accurately, and since she is willing to do Wudi's business, she will follow her. The Lu family really needs some confidence, Wu Di is far away from the capital, business is prosperous, and there are many merchants, and it is not easy for people to think deeply about doing business there. The old man said back then that silver is dead, people are alive, and no amount of gold and silver treasure is worth a person who can operate. It's because he wanted to fork it back then, and this girl can't be a girl! It's really cheap, that kid from the Wei family!

With the tacit approval of her father, Lu Wan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Lu Chenghui with a smile, and turned out of the study, and then returned to her own courtyard, listening to Chen Ping, who was waiting under the eaves of the porch, replied with a smile: "Girl, the people from the Chongning Hou Mansion really found Jingfeng Pharmacy." Shopkeeper Zheng picked and turned over several rare medicinal materials, all of which were good medicines for detoxification and stasis. The people of the Zhou family invited Imperial Doctor Liu in the palace to look at it in the same way and picked out two medicinal materials. The shopkeeper Zheng offered 10,000 taels of silver, and the people of the Zhou family were dumbfounded, so that the shopkeeper Zheng lost 1,000 taels of silver, and spent 9,000 taels of silver to buy the medicinal materials back. ”

Lu Wan paused and looked at Chen Ping, "Is it a portion?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Ping nodded like garlic, and explained in a low voice while smiling, "The shopkeeper Zheng also specially instructed the people of the Zhou family, saying that there is only one plant of each medicine, and it was met by chance when I was collecting medicinal materials in the south last year, such a good medicine is hard to find, and there are no more, whether it can cure Chongning Hou's illness He dare not guarantee, let the people of the Zhou family save a little use, don't waste it." ”

Lu Wan nodded with a smile and motioned to Chen Ping, "Forget about this matter, the affairs of the Zhou family have nothing to do with us, and we don't care about it." ”

Chen Ping understood, hurriedly agreed, jumped lightly, jumped out of the wall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The affairs of Wu Di have eyebrows, and the affairs of the Zhou family are also over, Lu Wan was in a very good mood, and turned around in the courtyard for half a circle, looking at the various flowers blooming on the wall, and unexpectedly remembered the guard who had just left, paused and was silent for a moment, and I didn't know what I remembered, with a smile in my eyes, I turned around and motioned to Yumo: "Go and change the pen and ink on the bookcase, I will write a letter." ”

……

February 19, Guanyin's birthday, coincides with the spring flowers, birds and flowers everywhere, many people rush to the temple early in the morning to incense and go to the suburbs of Beijing to enjoy the spring scenery, all the way to the flowers, the fragrance is overflowing, occasionally I can hear the faint singing and laughter in the distance.

Lu Wan made an appointment with Lu Yun early in the morning, went to Kaiyuan Temple to offer incense, got together with Wang Xiao on the way, and went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to enjoy flowers and lakes for a day before returning to Lufu, just entered the second gate, and glimpsed Lu Chengyi, the second uncle of his own house in the courtyard at the other end, walked out with a strange face, and shook his head and sighed as he walked.

Lu Chengyi obviously also saw Lu Wan and Lu Yun, as if he was stunned for a moment, stared at the smiling niece with emotion for a moment, and gradually showed a gentle smile on his face, and beckoned to Lu Wan and Lu Yun: "Go outside to play?" ”

Lu Wan and Lu Yun glanced at each other, and responded to Lu Chengyi's words funny: "I watched the children of the Zhuang family in Zhuangzi catch fish and pick flowers, and they also released kites." ”

Lu Chengyi smiled and nodded, his eyes fell on Lu Wan's face gently, and he sighed indescribably, and in the surprised eyes of Lu Wan and Lu Yun, he laughed and said, "Go back, I'm just asking you." ”

Lu Wan responded to Lu Chengyi's words in confusion, said goodbye to Lu Yun and the two at the second gate, and returned to the courtyard respectively. Did you hear about the news outside today? The saint gave the girl of the Xu family a marriage to the third master of the Xue family, and the second master of the Xue family, who came back from his inspection in the north, was also named a marquis! I heard that even the Hou Mansion has been given! ”

No wonder her second uncle would look at her like that! Did she really guess it? The smile on Lu Wan's face fell, paused, frowned slightly, and pondered for a moment, Fang asked aloud in Lu Zhi's puzzled gaze, "What else is there besides this?" ”

"I haven't heard anything else, it's just," Lu Zhi thought for a while, and Fang continued, "It seems that I heard that the Holy Lord married the third prince and the fourth prince in the imperial court, but the holy decree has not yet been issued, and the grandmothers outside have not heard the exact news." ”

Lu Wan nodded, her heart sinking slightly. The Xue family is the maiden family of the eldest princess, and the father of the eldest princess, Xue Guogong, is still leading the troops outside, and he can really be regarded as holding real power. plus a Xu family, although the Xu family is not as good as the Wang family's Zhong family, but Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wang are in the same family, both are veterans of the three dynasties, and their protégés are all over the government and the opposition, not to mention that the Xu family also has a cabinet prime minister!

With these two holy decrees, the situation of the eldest prince who originally seemed to have been quiet for many years is extremely delicate, and if you add the holy decree of marriage to the other two princes, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future......

Lu Wan took a breath gently, there is no father and son in the heavenly family, and the current saint is only afraid that she is more ruthless than she imagined, no wonder her grandfather was so eager to rein in the power of the Shen family, and it is impossible for a ruthless and ruthless superior not to be afraid of the wealth of the Shen family in its heyday!

……

Like Lu Wan, there are several princes who are uneasy. The fourth prince rushed to the Wei Xiang's mansion with a tight frown, with a gloomy face all the way, until he entered the door of the study, he raised his hand and waved away a small house, took a deep breath, and said to Wei Xiang, who also had a dignified face: "The Xue family occupies a duke and a marquis, plus the Xu family, the eldest brother is now afraid that it is impossible to recuperate, and the third brother pointed to the people of the Luo family, what does this mean?" ”

Wei Xiang nodded, raised his hand and motioned for the four princes to sit down, the two ancestors and grandchildren were silent for a long time, Wei Xiangcai closed his eyes, slowly exhaled, and sighed word by word: "The Holy Lord is balancing the court situation......

……

At the same time, the two masters of the Wang family also followed Mrs. Wang into the study with a heavy face. The second old man, Wang Changning, held back all the way, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but ask out loud: "What does my father mean when he says that the saint is here?" Could it be that it is up to several princes to fight? ”

As soon as these words came out, the room instantly fell silent again, and the eldest master Wang Changluo and Mrs. Wang did not respond to Wang Changning's words. Wang Changning blushed in a hurry, looked at Mrs. Wang and then at Wang Changluo, opened his mouth, and originally wanted to ask again, but he heard Mrs. Wang, who was already sitting in the chair, open her mouth in a solemn tone: "It's not for a few princes to fight, it's for a few princes to fight!" ”
