Chapter 152: Investigation
As soon as Lu Huan returned to the house, he asked the little maid next to him to ask his grandfather if he was at home, and learned that his grandfather was discussing things with several stewards in the store. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Huan turned her head and went to her grandfather, waiting for her grandfather to discuss the matter, and then tell her grandfather what she found and speculated, and her grandfather would always think more and more long-term than she thought, and would also put forward better opinions.
Lu Huan came to the west hall next to his grandfather's chamber, and there were already several people sitting inside.
Hearing the sound of the door curtain turning, they all turned their heads to look over, and when they saw that it was Lu Huan, they hurriedly stood up and asked Lu Huan how he was, as if he treated Lu Huan as a young owner.
Everyone sat down in the middle of the circle.
"Uncle Ma, are you here to pay this month's monthly payment together?" Lu Huan asked first.
"Miss Ah Huan," the person who was called Uncle Ma by Lu Huan looked sad, and when he heard Lu Huan ask, he poured bitter water on Lu Huan, "You don't know, since the Ruyi Fang opened in Yangzhou last year, it has robbed the business of our three stores, but he is not using serious means, we lose skills, we are also willing to accept it, but they secretly make sticks for us, there are people behind them, we can only swallow blood and tears in our stomachs." ”
It was the first time Lu Huan had heard of such a thing at home, since she entered Lishan Academy last year, her grandfather took back most of the chores, just left a few small shops in her hands, and just asked her to make friends with the prefect's eldest lady Li Changwei and Mr. Du's newly accepted female apprentice Du Xuan, and she didn't go home often, so naturally she couldn't hear these news.
"Ruyi Fang?" Lu Huan only felt very familiar when he heard the words 'Ruyi Fang' from Uncle Ma's mouth, as if, "That 'Ruyi Fang' is the prefect's property?" ”
"Miss is right, to be more precise, the 'Ruyi Fang' was opened by Wu Jin, the elder brother of the prefect's wife." The man next to him added.
But this sentence made Lu Huan feel even more uncomfortable as if he had eaten something unspeakable, couldn't spit it out, and couldn't swallow it.
Li Changwei once took her to the Ruyi Fang, and also met Li Changwei's cousin Wu Yuyang, that experience, if it weren't for Li Changwei's face and her grandfather's admonition in her ears, she just wanted to throw her sleeves and leave.
Lu Huan's face was a little ugly, and the stewards beside him thought that Lu Huan had listened to the things in the store and felt that it was more tricky, so his face was not good, and he hurriedly comforted, "Miss Ah Huan doesn't have to worry too much, it's just that the master doesn't want to tear the skin with him yet, this Yangzhou City is our territory, but..." It's just that they are going too far, and they will join forces to come back to the master.
Lu Huan didn't reply, and everyone fell silent.
After a while, Lu Deguang invited these stewards in, leaving Lu Huan alone in the side hall.
Lu Huan pondered in his heart, could it be that what happened that day was designed by Li Changwei? Although Li Changwei is a little selfish, she is not a bad person, and it is impossible to deliberately do such a thing to ruin the girl's reputation.
What's more, even if they wanted to, how could she marry a son-in-law who had no merit and fame, and would only be prodigal.
Soon, Butler Huang beside Lu Deguang invited Lu Huan into the study.
"Ah Huan, why do you want to come back today?" Lu Deguang sat behind the desk, looking at Lu Huan with kind eyes, but it was a pity that Lu Huan was not a man, if Lu Huan handed over the affairs of the man's family to Lu Huan, and Lu Xun became an official with fame, it can be said that there are people inside the Lord and people outside the Lord.
"Grandfather, I heard Uncle Ma say something about 'Ruyi Fang'."
"Ah Huan, you don't care about this matter, you're in Lishan..."
"Grandfather," Lu Huan was a little anxious, "Li Changwei took me to the Ruyi Fang, and... also met his cousin." ”
Lu Deguang listened to Lu Huan's words, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated, "You said she took it to meet her cousin?" ”
"I... I don't know, did she do it on purpose or..." Lu Huan lowered his head and didn't dare to confirm Li Changwei's heart.
Unexpectedly, Lu Deguang put down the cup in his hand heavily, "Hmph, as far as their Wu family is concerned, I also want to..." Wu Jin once mentioned to Lu Jinming at a party dinner table three months ago that the two families were married to their children, although Lu Jinming has no talent as a businessman, and he is not very good at reading, but he has been with his father Lu Deguang since he was a child, and he also knows the importance of some things, and his children in this family are Lu Xun and Lu Huan who are most valued by their fathers, and the marriage of these two people also needs the nod of their father, he can't be the master, The children mentioned by the Wu family must have come for Lu Huan, Lu Xun had married his teacher's daughter as early as a year ago, and this matter was vaguely passed by him, and he also mentioned it to his father when he returned home.
What happened next was that the Wu family secretly suppressed the Lu family.
Lu Huan probably guessed from his grandfather's reaction, and his face turned pale suddenly, "Grandfather, I didn't have any tricks with that." ”
Lu Deguang said, "Ah Huan, my grandfather watched you grow up, and he feels sorry for you the most, so how can someone else be a good match?" ”
Lu Huan heard what his grandfather said, and he let it go, as long as his grandfather should inherit something, he would definitely do it.
Lu Huan only then remembered what happened when she came back today, and she hurriedly explained what happened today to her grandfather.
"You mean there's a brother in that Du?"
"I think Du Yu's background is not simple, it is not like the world, it is just a distant relative of the Du family, who came to the Du family because of the death of his parents, or maybe it is really a distant relative, and it is also a prominent distant relative. Grandfather, Ah Huan wants to beg you to send someone to check on Na Du Yu again. ”
Lu Deguang nodded, "You continue to get along with Du Yu and Li Changwei, Li Changwei can't be a deep friend anymore." "Maybe the Du family and Du Yu can be used as a turning point for these things of the Lu family, it's not that their Li family can be powerful when they come to Yangzhou and become the prefect, it's just that everyone is not good at tearing the skin because of the relationship between Li Xianhuai, the prefect of Yangzhou, and the benefits can be given to you more, but... Some people want to be whimsical, so they should be slapped in the face.
