Although Zhang Weize didn't get the answer he wanted from his father, he was taught a lesson, after Dr. Zhang left, he was also leaving, but when he left, he was suddenly attracted by the pot of orchids that his father was playing with just now, remembering that Lu Mingtao of Muyue Commercial Bank was very fond of orchids, and he collected a lot of precious orchids. Besides, it's just a pot of flowers, and there is so much in my father's flower room, and I can't see this pot for a while. Sending flowers is a matter of elegance, and my father has always admired the style of these literati, even if he is found out that he has stolen flowers, he will not be too angry, and he will just find a pot in the future.

Zhang Weize, the second master of Zhangfu, who had done all kinds of psychological comfort, took the pot of summer lotus plum to Muyue Commercial Bank.

Lu Mingtao was very surprised when he saw Zhang Weize coming over with orchids, he knew that this pot of orchids, Dr. Zhang was very precious, he wanted to buy it with a lot of money that day but was rejected, but he didn't expect to be used by his son today as a gift to please himself.

"Lord Zhang, you brought this pot of orchids, I don't know if Master Zhang ever knew about it?" Lu Mingtao pretended to ask casually. "I don't need to inform my father about this little thing, the official can still call the shots, but if Lu Gongzi likes this pot of flowers, can he sell me the white jade Maitreya Buddha?"

"Since Lord Zhang is so sincere, Lu is not easy to shirk, but you also know the rules of our firm, once the goods are sold, they will not be returned, even if Lord Zhang comes, they will not change." Lu Mingtao felt that it was so simple to accept this orchid and was a little sorry for Dr. Zhang, so he secretly reminded Zhang Weize again. Who knew that he didn't notice it at all, only the excitement of the white jade Maitreya Buddha he was about to get. "This pot of orchids brought by Master Zhang is indeed Lu's favorite. It is also included in the price, and you can take away this white jade Maitreya Buddha for 8,000 taels. This is also for the sake of Mr. Zhang's face. Lu will take care of Lord Zhang like this. Lu Mingtao didn't want to take advantage of him directly, so he gave him some discounts. The original price of the white jade Maitreya Buddha was 13,000 taels, and the Muyue Commercial Bank was not bad for money, otherwise it would buy Lin Zhu's watermelon for five taels of silver, of course, the premise is that it can be worth this price. However, five thousand taels to get a pot of the best summer plum, for Lu Mingtao, it is definitely a profitable business.

Zhang Weize didn't expect to buy this white jade Maitreya Buddha at such a price, the original price of 13,000 taels really made him a little painful, he was ruthless for the future, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise, and he actually asked for 5,000 taels less for a pot of flowers. It really made him overjoyed, and he took some of the white jade Maitreya Buddha back. He longed for the dream of being promoted and making a fortune, but he didn't realize that this dream was just a flash in the pan.

Lu Mingtao, who got the pot of summer plums, immediately went to the Zhuangzi where the fourth master Mu Qiyue was, and in order to ensure that the pot of orchids was not damaged, he also deliberately took a carriage.

When I arrived at the place, I handed over the carriage to the family members in Zhuangzi, who were all members of the fourth master, so they were accustomed to Lu Mingtao's frequent arrivals. And I won't say it.

Lu Mingtao went to the fourth master's room and knocked on the door gently, but there was no sound inside, so he pushed the door and entered. "Has the fourth master ever fallen asleep?" He whispered to the man in the recliner. "Even if it's asleep. I was woken up by you. Mu Qiyue opened his eyes and glanced at Lu Mingtao lazily. And it also gives people a particularly weak feeling. It stands to reason that a man should not have such a lazy feeling, but Mu Qiyue always sees people with this face. Let those nobles and young people in the capital always think that he is a very good bully. often do evil to him in secret, so that he makes a fool of himself in front of everyone. That's why I bullied him inexplicably. Or because he took care of the royal face, of course, he would not be hurt physically. As everyone knows, every time Mu Qiyue suffers a secret loss, those people's families will lose a lot of money in vain, some because of business, some because of lawsuits, in short, the more ruthless Mu Qiyue becomes, the more money he loses, but those people don't know what Lu Dao is for.

"Fourth Master Qiqi, today Mr. Zhang's second son Zhang Weize took a pot of orchids to give to his subordinates, and wanted to buy the white jade Maitreya Buddha, and his subordinates have already sold it to him." Lu Mingtao said simply. "Boss Zhang will be angry." Although the fourth master said this, there was no sympathy on his face.

"Hehe, with Dr. Zhang's temperament, he has a son who is so good at drilling, I don't know if Lu Dao is fortunate or unlucky. But Master Zhang Yuze is good. Lu Mingtao sighed. Fourth master, so that your birthday gift problem will be solved. Although there are still five or six months to go for the imperial concubine's birthday, there is no more suitable birthday gift than this pot of orchids. ”

"Ask Mr. Zhang to see me next month, and it's up to you to ask for it." The fourth master threw a sentence lightly, which made Lu Mingtao's face a little blue with some pride. "I won't blame this boss."

"Zhang Weize has learned such a big lesson this time, he should be more honest recently, especially at this juncture, if the emperor wants to rectify the household, he has to find someone to open the knife, and at this time, the person who rushed to give gifts to the old man Lin became a bird. Don't worry, Mr. Zhang will thank you. The fourth master gloated.

The affairs of the court, a person he doesn't want to do, actually understands it so clearly, but I'm afraid that those who go to the court every day are not as good as him. Lu Mingtao thought about it. Although the fourth master was excluded from the selection of the prince, he still knew a lot about current affairs, and those people in Qingwangfu didn't know when they would find out that they had lost the most suitable person to lead Qingwangfu.

"This is to offend Mr. Zhang, I hope you don't speak ill of me to Miss Lin Zhu." Lu Mingtao lamented. "I hope that box will make her smile in return."

"What did you give?" The fourth master was suddenly a little curious about this.

"It's just some children's stuff, nothing more than some tangrams, nine rings and twelve Luban locks and the like, as well as wooden horses and wooden swords, didn't Mr. Zhang say that Miss Lin Zhu's younger brother is also over one year old. I picked up some fun ones and sent them over. Now Lu Mingtao thinks about it, will it make Miss Lin Zhu unhappy because it is all fun, if she is not happy, it will not be easy to negotiate the transaction between the firm and her next year, thinking of this, he can't wait to write to Lao Du immediately and ask him to agree to any conditions proposed by Lin Zhu as much as possible.

"You're going to get a lot less this year." The fourth master suddenly came to say this. "No, Fourth Master, I also attached a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and some things for the girl's family, Miss Lin Zhu will definitely not blame me." Lu Mingtao was glad that he had an extra heart at that time, and put a jade bracelet and jade pendant in good condition, otherwise the white silver would have left him. I couldn't help but wipe the non-existent sweat on my head.

And when Zhang Weize went home with the white jade Maitreya Buddha in his hand, he was greeted by the anger of Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang, who was angry with his second son, went out, and after going around the yard, he returned to his study, wrote a few words and calmed down, wanting to wait for a while and talk to him carefully. It's just that a few grandchildren came to him again to talk to him for a while, and the time passed, and when he returned to the room where the orchids were placed, the pot of summer plums was nowhere to be found. So I immediately called the housekeeper, "Where is the pot of orchids that the bamboo girl gave me?" ”

Because Steward Zhang was walking around the outer courtyard all day, he didn't know it, and called the maid who was waiting in the yard to ask, only to know that Zhang Weize took it, and Dr. Zhang was very angry and told the people below to let him come over as soon as he came back.

Zhang Weize, who didn't know why, entered his father's room, saw him sitting on the chair angrily, stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Father made you angry, and my son taught him a lesson for you." ”

"Hmph, who me off?" Doctor Zhang snorted angrily, "Let me ask you, did you take the pot of orchids in this house?" "Doctor Zhang's face is very gloomy." Isn't it just a pot of flowers? Wouldn't it be okay for my son to find you two pots? Zhang Weize said indifferently.

"Where's the flower?" Seeing the second son's fluttering words, he didn't feel that he was wrong, and Dr. Zhang was even more angry and asked him in a sullen voice. "Father, didn't I say I wanted to buy something good from the Kizuki Trading House? It's just that Lu Gongzi has been loosening, and it just so happens that he also likes orchids, so his son gave him a pot of flowers, and you also know that your son's orchids are not as good as yours here, so I took a pot casually. Lu Gongzi also sold the white jade Maitreya Buddha to me for your sake. Zhang Weize said a little proudly.

"So let Lu Mingtao's kid take it, and he paid five thousand taels, this kid is so generous?" Doctor Zhang's hated teeth itched, the stinky boy picked up the cheap and picked up the old man's head, see how the old man will clean you up in the future.

"What's the matter with the pot of flowers, Lu Gongzi will give me a discount for the sake of your face." Doctor Zhang felt that if he listened to this son again, his lungs would be about to explode, and that pot of the best Xia Hemei, let alone 5,000 taels, would not sell it even if it was 10,000 taels.

"Do you want to give this white jade Maitreya Buddha to Old Madam Lin?"

"You also know that the promotion of his son is only in Lord Lin's words, and there is still a month to his mother's birthday, and sending this birthday celebration can also express my heart." He can now imagine how happy Mrs. Lin was after receiving such a congratulatory gift, how he praised him, and how he found a fat shortage for him.

"Idiot," Dr. Zhang finally couldn't help but scold, "You think this gift is so good?" The imperial concubine's birthday six months later, how many people want to send some things that her old man likes, who in this capital doesn't know that her favorite is not Guanyin Bodhisattva but Maitreya Buddha? You still want to give this rare white jade Maitreya Buddha to Mrs. Lin with great fanfare, how can her family accept it? ”
