Chapter 349: The Root

After Lu Qingrong laughed and joked, Lu Qianyu was happy at first, but soon felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this, and immediately glanced at Lu Qingrong angrily, but instantly turned into a laugh.

For her, what Lu Qingrong just said was the truth.

Moreover, anyway, his future eldest son is destined to take the road of the imperial examination, so it is better to respond to Lu Qingrong's joke, so it is not difficult for him to be a strong man......

Lu Qingrong saw that she didn't speak for a long time, and her face was sad, so she understood that she was thinking too far again, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you!" Last year, the emperor rewarded the prince with a piece of land, in Changqiao Street, there is a forest of shops and restaurants, so the prince didn't think much about it, and built a restaurant in the same place, now a few months have passed, it has been built, but there is no one in our house who is good at this, yesterday I discussed it with the prince, it is better to let my cousin try it first! ā€

When Lu Qianyu heard this, she almost couldn't sit steadily on the circle chair, but she quickly regained her sad face: "The restaurant built by the prince will definitely not be small, right?" I'm afraid we can't afford to rent, we really don't have much money......"

Lu Qianyu is real.

Lu Qingrong smiled even more: "It doesn't matter, that piece of land is idle and idle, since the restaurant has been completed, it is natural to open one day earlier, and make money one day earlier." And you go over and pay for it first, and if you can make a profit within a year, it will be the same when the rent is paid! ā€

Lu Qianyu was overjoyed: "Really? ā€

Lu Qingrong nodded: "Don't be happy so early, if we don't make a profit after a year, we will have to change people and rent at that time!"

"No problem!" Lu Qianyu is full of confidence. "You don't know how much your cousin has prepared! I tell you secretly, don't pass it on to my in-laws. In fact, before the start of the township exam. When my cousin was locked up to study, he was already quietly planning, read a lot of such books, and studied several famous restaurants in the capital! ā€

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but hold his forehead.

It seems that I thought that Yin Zihao was hot for three minutes of doing things, and I really underestimated them!

Fan, who was on the side, was even more shocked.

Yin Zihao would rather be reduced to a businessman than pay attention to the matter of entering the imperial examination. In the eyes of Fan, who was born in a scholarly family, this is completely incomprehensible.

What surprised her even more was that not only Yin Qinghua agreed. Now even Lu Qingrong and even the Marquis of Jingyuan have helped.

After abiding by secular conventions for more than ten years, Fan suddenly became a little envious of them.

At the same time, Lu Qingrong did his best to support Lu Qianyu. It's something she couldn't have thought of anyway.

It's hard to do it. Is their relationship really as close as it seems? And there is no gap between Lu Qingrong and the Lu family?

Fan only felt that today's qiē was subverting her previous speculation.

"Don't make it too simple!" Lu Qingrong came to pour cold water at the right time, "In the restaurant, you still have to decide all the items such as furniture and furnishings, and you also have to buy and hire people, and you need to prepare a lot!" If you want to open as much as possible. You're busy! ā€

Lu Qianyu immediately jumped up from the circle chair: "Don't worry! Within this month, it is guaranteed to open! ā€

I haven't even seen the appearance of a restaurant. Just boasting about such a Haikou, I'm afraid it's also because of Lu Qianyu's character, Lu Qingrong thought to himself.

Lu Qianyu tilted her head and seemed to be busy calculating something.

Lu Qingrong and Fan both thought that she was estimating the expenses required.

But she didn't want to, Lu Qianyu continued: "You don't have to wait until the end of the month!" On March 13th, your birthday, we will try to open, and when the time comes, you can be our first guest! ā€

This coincides with what Jiang Xuan said.

Lu Qingrong secretly thought in his heart, thinking that Jiang Xuan was not familiar with business, so he would think about the opening so simply, but Lu Qianyu and they had been planning for so long, and they were so ashamed, it was inevitable that people would worry about them.

Lu Qianyu didn't know it, until she dragged Fan's goodbye, she was still patting her chest and promising that it would definitely open on March 13.

Fan didn't take it seriously at all.

The dignified Mrs. Jingyuan Hou Shizi and the birthday of the year of the reign must be held in the house, how can there be time to go to the restaurant in the market......

It was Lu Qingrong, who nodded half-coaxing and half-perfunctory, but faintly hoped that her words counted, if she could really spend her birthday in their restaurant, it would be better.

After sending Lu Qianyu and Fan away, and after another cup of tea, Jiang Xuan returned to the hall.

"How about it, did my uncle let them open a restaurant?" Jiang Xuan asked as soon as he came in.

Lu Qingrong nodded, and relayed Lu Qianyu's words just now to him with a smile, including the paragraph about her "selling her son".

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this, and then sighed: "Your sisters' feelings are really not ordinarily good!" ā€

Lu Qingrong smiled silently.

"And I didn't expect your uncle to be such an enlightened man!" Jiang Xuan continued.

This time, Lu Qingrong nodded very solemnly.

Thinking of back then, if it weren't for the great help of my uncle and aunt, even ignoring my own career and future, but also for the sake of the future of Yin Pingru's mother and daughter, and unswervingly supporting them, I am afraid it would be difficult to have Yin Pingru's remarriage, and the complete family that their mother and daughter have had for more than ten years......

Lu Qingrong fell into the memories of the past, until Jiang Xuan came over and sat her down and brought her back to her senses.

Lu Qingrong suddenly remembered what the Fan family had entrusted him just now, and he thought about asking Jiang Xuan first.

"Do you know Lord Fan, the magistrate of Wanping?"

Jiang Xuan immediately replied: "I don't know it, but I've heard of it." ā€

"Oh?" Lu Qingrong was a little surprised.

Jiang Xuan said bluntly: "That Master Fan, I got a 'bad' in this Beijing inspection, this kind of shocking achievement, let alone me, I'm afraid it has already spread among all the Beijing officials!" ā€

"That'...... Do you know why? Is it because of what went wrong during the tenure? Lu Qingrong couldn't understand what kind of big mistake it was. Let the people above not immediately pursue it, but chose to put such a scene when they were in Jingcha.

"He didn't do anything, he got that. It's all due to bad luck. Jiang Xuan said.

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong couldn't understand it even more.

Jiang Xuan didn't immediately help her out, but frowned and asked, "Why are you so concerned about that Master Fan?" ā€

"That's my sister-in-law's father!" Lu Qingrong hurriedly responded.

Jiang Xuan patted his head: "Look at my memory!" I actually ignored this relationship. ā€

Seeing Lu Qingrong looking at him anxiously, Jiang Xuan said, "He has offended people. Master Fan is Wanping Zhixian, don't you forget, where were the 'corpses' of Sato and Song Shixiang found? ā€

"Wanping!" Lu Qingrong exclaimed, secretly screaming in his heart. Unexpectedly, Master Fan was more involved in this matter, "Could it be that those corpses were not only obtained by the Criminal Department." Among them, there is also a share of Master Fan? ā€

"Quite the opposite!" Jiang Xuan shook his head, "It is precisely because he did not participate that he said that he offended people." Although Song Shixiang's incident was repeated later, it was not important. It's Sato's business. Let him tie up with the criminal department. At the beginning, the Ministry of Criminal Justice swore that they caught Sato, who had escaped from prison, in Wanping, and because of his stubborn resistance to death, he was finally corrected on the spot and his head was cut off...... As the magistrate of Wanping, Lord Fan is very suspicious of this and advocates a detailed investigation of the matter. But he is just a magistrate, how to compete with the criminal department among the six departments. At that time, his ideas were suppressed, and the criminal department directly reported the death of Sato to the emperor. ā€

"That's all. As for being hated by the people of the Criminal Department until now? Lu Qingrong asked.

"If that's all it takes, it's okay, at that time, his idea was not adopted, and he even handed it to the palace this time, detailing the doubts that existed at this time, and the emperor Jian yƬ investigated the matter in detail."

"What is the emperor's attitude?"

"The emperor has no attitude, the book is folded, the emperor only approved the sentence 'I know', and then there is no follow-up." Jiang Xuan shook his head helplessly, "Actually, this can also be regarded as the emperor's attitude." ā€

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he finally suddenly realized: "If so, he has even offended the emperor at all!" As a result of Jingcha this time, there must be no one who can help him speak! ā€

Jiang Xuan sighed and affirmed: "That's right, Sato's escape from prison has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart. At that time, there were not a few people in the court who had doubts about Sato's death, but everyone tacitly understood that in order to stabilize the situation in the court and boost the morale of the frontier soldiers, the emperor had no other choice than to pass Sato's head to the first nine sides according to the original plan! But only Master Fan pierced this layer of window paper and played it impressively...... The emperor endured and did not punish him, which does not mean that there is no mustard in his heart. Sure enough, after so much time, he still didn't let him go. ā€

"Are you saying that this was not done by those people in the Criminal Department at all, and the reason why the Ministry of Officials gave this 'difference' was to directly obey the emperor's instructions?"

"This is the most likely." Jiang Xuan confirmed.

Lu Qingrong was suddenly extremely depressed.

Lu Qianyu and Fan asked her to inquire about the origin of the matter, and now they have traced it back to the source, and it has reached the head of the current emperor, how can they let themselves talk to them directly.

"Sister-in-law is very worried about this matter, especially I don't know why, it seems that I can't explain it to her......" Lu Qingrong sighed.

Jiang Xuan stroked her back and persuaded, "Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Civil official advice is the scope of routine duties, and even if the emperor is unhappy, he cannot be too harsh. This time, it was nothing more than the emperor who came up with this breath, and although he found trouble in the evaluation, after all, there was no substantive punishment, and his Wanping Zhixian was still in office and was not recalled! ā€

"Won't you be dismissed in the future?" Lu Qingrong was still worried.

"Although this is not good...... Jiang Xuan did not lie to her, but told the truth, "It's just that this time the situation is really special, Lord Fan is not lacking in political achievements, but fell into a whirlpool for a while, and in the end, even if he was deposed, he was really lucky, because, since the beginning of this dynasty, there are few officials who have been demoted because of this kind of thing, and there is very little hope of turning over!" ā€

"That'...... How else can others help? Lu Qingrong understood that this time was a serious matter, so he did not force Jiang Xuan to lend a hand.

Instead, Jiang Xuan took the initiative to say: "I was negligent before, and I forgot that there is still this level of kinship, but now that I know it, I will naturally try to help preserve it." Although it's not good for me to speak directly to the emperor now, it's not like there's still Mr. Chu here! Mr. Chu is a downright person, and he can't tolerate others being persecuted because of his integrity, so he will definitely help with it, but in front of the emperor, no one is more effective than him. In the final analysis, this is not a big deal, and the emperor may not have to deal with Lord Fan to the end! ā€

Lu Qingrong barely bowed his head, thinking about how to give Fan an explanation......

She didn't delay for too long, and the next day, Lu Qingrong sent Luzhu to Lu Mansion and invited Fan over.

Without Lu Qianyu to accompany him this time, Fan's heart was inevitably apprehensive, facing Lu Qingrong, his voice was extremely small, especially nervous, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Lu Qingrong didn't go around in circles with her.

Although Master Fan had an accident, he couldn't explain it to Fan in detail, and she was vague about it, only saying that she didn't know much about it. But I didn't forget to mention to the Fan family that the prince had already made up for this matter, and promised to try his best to help protect Lord Fan, so that she didn't have to worry.

With her words, Fan Shideng became more down-to-earth than many times.

In Fan's heart, the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion is an extremely powerful existence, especially the Marquis of Jingyuan, with his outstanding military exploits, he is as good as the sun, and he can speak in front of the emperor! (To be continued......)
