In the elegantly furnished VIP room, the wine and food are served quickly. Not long after Li Junran and the others sat down, the dishes for the whole fish banquet were all served.

The whole fish feast is a special dish of the Kexiang Juyue Town branch, and it is served within a daily limit. Although the raw materials may not be as rich as those produced by the estate, they are indeed much more delicious than the shops next to them. Being able to make the most delicious dishes with the simplest ingredients is something that the chefs of this guest house do have some skills.

After Li Junran walked into the VIP room, he never spoke. Even for the whole fish feast in front of you, each dish is at most a bite or two, and then stop.

"I, I'll replace the wine with tea first, and toast the marquis." Lu Dabao picked up the teacup in his hand, "I'll ...... I want to talk to you about cooperation. ”

"Cooperation?" Li Junyang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes." Although Lu Dabao is only a few years older than Li Junran's brothers and sisters, he looks like a gentleman who doesn't learn or knows how to do it on weekdays, but he has grown up since he was a child. There are some things that Lu Dabao still knows. Especially since I knew that I had been given a chronic poison, not to mention a big understanding, at least I have grown up a lot all of a sudden. Not to mention, just what Lu Dabao's mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu, had done before, Lu Dabao already understood what was going on, it was nothing more than a "killing".

Cultivating Lu Dabao into a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills is indeed a wonderful move to attack, retreat and defend. In the future, if he gives birth to his own son, this Lu Dabao has chronic poison in his body, as long as the antidote is stopped, it will be sooner or later. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, you didn't give birth to a son-in-law. It is bound to be easier to handle a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills than an adopted son who is both civil and military. As Lu Dachuan's only son, Lu Dabao, who has been raised and discarded, has grown up so spoiled since he was a child, and he is bound to be unable to pick up the burden of the Lu Mansion. In this way, it is natural to rely more on the power of his own mother-in-law.

But all this, Lu Dachuan, as Lu Dabao's father, not only noticed it, but even acquiesced to Mrs. Lu doing so. In fact, this is what makes Lu Dabao the most chilling.

"So didn't you come to look for me instead of the Lu family?"

"The Lu family is the Lu family, I am me!"

"It's a pity you're nothing now." Li Junran glanced at Lu Dabao lightly, "If you talk about the Lu Mansion, maybe you can still cooperate." As for you......"

"I know, I'm nothing now. It's not to say, 'Screw the white beard Gong. Don't bully young people into poverty. Master Hou, how do you know that I ......" Faced with Li Junran's straightforward refusal, Lu Dabao said without giving up.

Who would have thought that before he finished speaking, Li Junyang's laughter came from the side: "It seems that the eldest young master of the Lu family has read a lot of books recently, and even 'Ning bullied Bai Xugong.'" Don't bully the young man to be poor'. ”

Lu Dabao's face turned red. was completely squeezed by Li Junyang's words.

Li Junran's biggest impression of Lu Dabao. may still be the ball-like figure at the beginning, because of fat, the originally delicate facial features have been accumulated into a pile of fat on the face. Now it's rugby. In addition, as he gets older, his facial features gradually grow, and he can faintly see the prototype of a beautiful boy.

It's really white and ugly, and a fat one destroys all the rhythm.

"In business, tell me, what can you do?"

"I, I know, my father is Qi, the king of Qi's money bag in Jiangnan......" Lu Dabao hesitated for a long time before he carefully observed for a long time before he got the information. It's just a teenager, is it really good for you to betray your own father like this?

"My mother...... I mean, my own mother was killed by that Mrs. Lu. Father, he obviously knew about this, and he ......" Lu Dabao Xu noticed that Li Junyang's gaze was a little strange, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and there were tears in his eyes, "I know, if I do this, Lord Hou will definitely look down on me, and I feel that I am not filial piety for reporting my father, but I must avenge my mother's revenge." ”

"And then? What happens after taking revenge? I believe that Ling Tang was willing to sacrifice himself to protect your son, and he definitely didn't want you to live in hatred all day long, and he was more willing to see you grow up healthy than hatred. ”

"I ......"

"Lu Dabao, go back. If you just want to borrow Benhou's hand and dispose of your mother-in-law, or even your own father Lu Dachuan. Today, only if you have seen Ben Hou from the future, Ben Hou has not heard anything from you. ”

Li Junran's words gave Lu Dabao a slap in the face, and also successfully made Lu Dabao's somewhat hot head calm down a little. Although the contact time has not been long, even since the meeting, the young Huai Anhou has never given himself a good face. But for some reason, Lu Dabao just felt that the Huai Anhou in front of him felt very familiar to him, just like the little girl he met in the remote backyard that day.

The little girl who would give him damp pastries and tell him the truth that "scarcity is expensive" really has a problem. She must be the "I'll come" who emptied all the money in her father's treasure trove and left a note saying "visit here" very arrogantly.

And also...... The bottle of medicine that appeared in his arms out of nowhere......

"A month ago...... Mother gave birth to her sister smoothly......" Thinking of this, Lu Dabao stood up, bowed down and said goodbye to Li Junran, "The student still has to go to Zhenpinzhai to choose a full moon ceremony for the little sister, so I won't disturb the Hou Ye and Brother Li for dinner." ”

"Unscrupulous, send Lu Dashao for Ben Hou."

"Yes."

"I'll send it anyway." Since helping Lu Dabao treat his illness in Qingshui Town, Li Junyang didn't hate this eldest young master of Lu Mansion as much as he did at the beginning. Speaking of which, Lu Dabao is also a poor person, and it doesn't necessarily matter how bad his nature is.

Seeing that Li Junyang took the initiative to send him off, Lu Dabao did not refuse. It's just that when he was about to go out, Li Junran's voice sounded in his ears.

"Big brother, the weather is getting colder and colder. How about taking your stepmother and younger brothers to Wanmei Villa for a few days in a few days? ”

Wanmei Villa?

Lu Dabao immediately remembered this place.

Although it was a send-off, Li Junyang just sent Lu Dabao out of the door. It is impossible for Lu Dabao to really let Li Junyang personally send him to the gate of Kexiangju, after a simple farewell. He climbed into his carriage and hurried back to Lufu.

After sending Lu Dabao away, Li Junyang turned his head to look at Li Junran, who was leaning on the soft chair with a cup of steaming hot cocoa in his hand, closing his eyes and recuperating, shook his head helplessly, and then closed the door. As for the outside of the door, whether there are still many inquiring eyes is not in the scope of Li Junyang's concern.

On the other side, after Lu Dabao left Kexiangju. There was no hurry to return to Lu Mansion. Instead, I went to Zhenpinzhai and carefully selected the old ones for my little sister for a long time, and only then did I pick a barely satisfactory full moon gift.

Because it took a long time, waiting for Lu Dabao to return to Lu Mansion slowly in the carriage. It's almost sunset. So much so that the carriage drove into the gate of the Lu Mansion. Lu Dabao hadn't had time to get off the carriage yet. The chief butler of the Lu Mansion, who had been waiting in the inverted room, appeared in front of Lu Dabao in a hurry.

"Little Ancestor, where have you been?"

"Where has you gone, do you still need to explain to your minion?" Lu Dabao glanced at the Lu Mansion housekeeper standing in front of him.

This Lu Mansion housekeeper was originally Mrs. Lu's cronies. When Lu Dabao's mother was killed, there was also the chronic poison in Lu Dabao's body, all of which had a share of the credit of the Lu Mansion's housekeeper. Since Mrs. Lu, who has not been pregnant for many years, has become pregnant, the attitude of the Lu Mansion towards Lu Dabao has changed more or less. Here, it should be the most obvious that this Lu Mansion housekeeper is the most obvious.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that after being diagnosed as a young master, the great housekeeper of the Lu Mansion got carried away for a while, and it would be impossible for Lu Dabao to overhear some truths. In the end, the young and vigorous Lu Dabao would not pour out the antidote by mistake, so that the chronic poison on his body broke out in advance. This is why Li Junran was forced to come to the door for treatment.

To say that Lu Dabao has a big life and good luck, otherwise...... I have to celebrate the New Year at Lord Yama's.

The chief housekeeper of the Lu Mansion hurriedly smiled and said, "Young Master, the master can wait for you in the study for a long time." ”

The implication is that you, Lu Dabao, are indeed the eldest young master of the Lu Mansion, and you don't need to explain your whereabouts to us, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion. But you're just a young master, and there's a master on top of him, and the master always has the right to ask. What's more, the old man, who was already impatient, had been waiting in the study all afternoon......

Ask for more blessings, young master.

Lu Dabao didn't care about the schadenfreude in the eyes of the big housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, and still slowly held the beautifully packaged gift box in his arms, and walked straight towards the direction of the inner courtyard and the back house.

"Got it. I'll go and see my mother and little sister first. ”

"......" The big housekeeper of the Lu Mansion was dumbfounded. If Lu Dabao obediently went to the study first, Lu Dachuan's anger would probably not be able to burn the head of the Lu Mansion housekeeper. Lu Dabao, who had always been afraid of Lu Dachuan, went the opposite way this time and went to the backyard of the inner house first. In this way, if this matter is known to Lu Dachuan, the first unlucky person must be the chief housekeeper of the Lu Mansion.

Sure enough.

When Lu Dabao wasted most of the hour at Mrs. Lu's place, it can be regarded as appearing in the study of the Lu Mansion, Lu Dachuan had just finished his anger and was taking a break. Looking at the posture, most of the anger has been dissipated.

"I've seen Daddy."

"Coming?" Lu Dachuan instinctively wanted to reach out and pick up the tea cup on the table in front of him, and then throw it at his son. Who would have thought that everything that could be smashed on the desk had been sacrificed. Lu Dachuan, who realized this, was inevitably a little sneering.

"I heard that at noon, you met that Huai'an Hou in Kexiangju?"

"Yes, I met." Lu Dabao nodded and said, "I chatted with Hou Ye in the VIP room that day, because I was in a hurry to buy a full moon gift for my little sister, so I ......."

"A money-losing ......" Lu Dachuan was so angry by his son Lu Dabao's white-eyed stupid behavior that his nose was about to crooked, and he blurted out "losing money" or something.

"Dad, how can you say that little sister?" Lu Dabao was not happy. Even if what Lu Dachuan said was the truth, on the bright side, Lu Dabao still had to make an appearance and maintain the little sister who was not yet a month old.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Lu Dachuan Xu realized that he was showing his dislike for his youngest daughter in front of his only son, and it was not very appropriate, so he changed the topic.

"Dabao, that Li ...... Didn't Li Junyang say that he was a classmate who went to the enlightenment class with you? When you are in college, you have to remember to have more contact with him. No matter how bad it is, he is now the righteous brother of Huai'anhou. ”

Hearing Lu Dachuan say this, Lu Dabao felt even more ashamed. In Bailu Academy, Lu Dabao and Li Junyang can be said to have entered the enlightenment class almost at the same time. It's a pity that Li Junyang didn't stay long in the enlightenment class, so he skipped a grade to the intermediate class, and later went to the advanced class. And Lu Dabao is still messing around in the primary enlightenment class.

"Got it, Dad." Lu Dabao took a deep breath, "Dad, I want to go to Zhuangzi in the countryside for a few days in a few days." ”

"Zhuangzi over there in Xiaowangzhuang?" Lu Dachuan instinctively thought of Xiao Wangzhuang, "Did Master Hou tell you something today?" ”

"It's not. Didn't Dad just say that he should let his son have more contact with that Li Junyang. Jun Yang has already passed the township test this year...... Son, my son doesn't want to lag behind that Li Junyang too much...... "Although he concealed part of the real reason, it is not possible to say that Lu Dabao is lying. On the way back to Lu Mansion, Lu Dabao really thought about what he could do at present, but after thinking for a long time, Lu Dabao really couldn't think of what else he could do except study seriously in the academy. Even if you don't take the imperial examination in the future, you can never go wrong by reading more books and knowing more things.

In this regard, Lu Dachuan was very happy and said several "good" in a row. So, Lu Dabao's temporary move to Zhuangzi in the countryside was finalized. Of course, I have to wait for the daughter born to Mrs. Lu, Miss Eleventh of the Lu Mansion after the full moon banquet, and then go to the small Zhuangzi that is only an hour away from Wanmei Mountain.
