Lu Wenli was blocked by the threat in Lu Yu's words, his face fell, his eyes stared at Lu Yu gloomily, and he reprimanded coldly, "You-"

Before the words came out, Third Master Lu had already entered the door with a calm face, and frowned and directly blocked Lu Wenli's angry reprimand: "This is the county government, what do you look like as an elder?" He didn't care about Lu Wenli's blue face as he spoke, and turned to urge Lu Yu, "You go ahead and get busy." If you have anything to say, I'll tell your second uncle! ”

"I'm tired of your old age." Lu Yu respectfully agreed, didn't look at Lu Wenli, and went directly to the county office.

Lu Wenli's face was blue and white, staring at Lu Yu's back, his eyes were cold and ruthless, and his tone was not very polite: "The third uncle is old, he should enjoy Qingfu at home, why bother about the affairs of our house?" ”

Third Master Lu stuck in his throat in one breath, raised his finger to land at Lu Wenli, his beard trembled, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and it took a long time before he stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded Lu Wenli sneered: "I know you're impatient, but you can't decide whether this family is divided or not!" ”

As he spoke, Third Master Lu slapped the table again, twisted his eyebrows and stared at Lu Wenli, who was full of arrogance and impatience, his voice was stagnant, and the fire in his body suddenly dissipated, he only closed his eyes and sighed for a long time, suppressing the worry and disappointment in his heart for the time being, his tone eased, and he persuaded solemnly: "Your house is in chaos like that, no wonder Brother Yu wants to move out with Sister Ran Ran." The two of them have lived outside for three years, have you, the second uncle, ever asked a sentence and a half? You know more about this than I do, and it is inevitable that Brother Yu will be angry in his heart. Now that he wants to split up according to your eldest brother's wishes, it makes sense to be reasonable. It's still for the sake of you being an elder! If you think about it, Brother Yu now has the blue eyes of Governor Li, as long as Governor Li says a word, can you still say a word? ”

"A prefect, can he still cover the sky with one hand?" Lu Wenli's face stiffened, his tone was extremely impatient, he paused, his momentum was weaker after all, and he frowned and said categorically, "Besides, the eldest brother left so many shops, and he lost nearly half of them in Lu Yu's hands the year before last, and he can't keep the remaining shops even if he gives him the remaining ones!" I, the second uncle, asked myself to be worthy of their brother and sister, but I have been in charge of them for a few years! He didn't appreciate it, but he was resentful, and I couldn't swallow this breath anyway! ”

"If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it!" Third Master Lu's tone was a little heavier, his brows were wrinkled deeper, his wrinkled face was full of impatience and sarcasm, and his gaze at Lu Wenli also became cold, and he pulled his beard and sneered word by word, "The business in your house is now in your hands, how it was in the past few years, I don't say that you also have a number in your heart, Brother Yu has even more numbers!" To put it mildly, most of that bit of family business was earned by your eldest brother back then, if Brother Yu was determined to care about you, do you think you can still keep it? As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, just Brother Yu'er's old friends and the same year are in the same department, but one more sentence can make you unable to eat and walk around, you still want to do business? It would be nice to be able to save my life! You are also a person who has taken the Xiucai exam, don't you know that since the founding of this dynasty, Huai'an County has served as long as it has been safe and stable for three years, which one is not a party member now? Brother Yu'er's future is still ahead! Let's just talk about the previous literary meeting, I have only been there for half a day, and I have heard the people on the street praise Brother Yu several times, this is his ability! ”

Halfway through the words, Third Master Lu held his forehead and sighed heavily, his tone could not hide his disappointment, his fingers trembled at Lu Wenli, and he shook his head as he spoke: "You also know that Brother Yu is the first court official of our Lu family." That's a real two-list jinshi, a protégé of the Son of Heaven! If you don't think about yourself, you have to plan for future generations. Look at those rich families, which one has few people behind it? Brother Yu is his own family, is it possible that you still want to push him out? ”

Lu Wenli was speechless by Lu Sanye's soft and hard reprimand, opened his mouth, and responded with an irritated face: "Those shops, even if I hand them over to him, he can't take care of them......"

"He is an official of the imperial court, so naturally he will not personally ask about these affairs!" Third Master Lu decisively interrupted Lu Wenli's words, "He doesn't care, he has an outside steward to take care of it for him." Think about what I'm saying today. ”

Although Lu Wenli was not angry about the words of the third master of Lu, he also knew that the situation was pressing, so he weighed it all night, and made a list of more than a dozen shops early the next morning for people to send to Lu Yu. Zhang Wenyuan, the steward of the outer courtyard of Luoxia Courtyard, took the order, turned his head and respectfully delivered it to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran took the list and read it carefully from beginning to end, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, he sighed with a sigh, his tone was full of admiration, and he nodded at Zhang Wenyuan and praised: "I'm afraid that this list will take a lot of thought from the second uncle." You send it to the eldest brother, just say my words, it doesn't hurt to have a few medicine stores and grain stores on this list, and it's better to ask the second uncle to change a few others. As juniors, we can't let our elders suffer. ”

After that, Lu Ran turned around and motioned to Hongrui to take another list and hand it to Zhang Wenyuan, and instructed with a smile: "There are also a few ready-made shops on this list, and the second uncle can pick a few of them and replace them." ”

Zhang Wenyuan comprehended, hurriedly answered yes, respectfully took the two lists, saluted Lu Ran, and then withdrew, personally went to the county office to find Lu Yu, and said Lu Ran's words word for word.

Lu Yu listened intently for a while, and did not accept the list handed by Zhang Wenyuan, his eyelids did not move, and he raised his hand and ordered: "Send this list to Lu Mansion, and return according to the girl's words." ”

Zhang Wenyuan got the order, and hurriedly rushed to the Lu Mansion to reply.

Lu Wenli stared at the list drawn up by Lu Ran angrily, raised his hand and smashed the teacup on the table, splashed the tea on the ground, grinded his teeth and said hatefully: "It's too much to deceive people!" After that, he slapped the list in his hand on the table in annoyance, fixed his eyes on the table, and forbeared for a moment, and gradually became vigilant in his heart in addition to the original anger - outsiders could not see any difference between these shops, but the profits in them were extremely rich. In the past few years, he has personally managed the account books, but he didn't expect Lu Yu to list them out without a family! His nephew was only afraid that he had already calculated it, no wonder he dared to invite the third uncle over, after all, he was a parent official, no better than back then......

Thinking about it, Lu Wenli took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in his chest, and walked back and forth in the room several times with his hands behind his back, and after thinking about it repeatedly for a long time, he really had no choice but to frown and pick two shops to replace them with great annoyance.
