Chapter 252: King Lin's two families enter the incense together
As the weather gets hotter and hotter, although watermelon is a relatively expensive fruit, the most important thing in the capital is people with money and power, so the demand for watermelon has been high.
Among them, the special watermelon of the Muyue Commercial Bank is the most, although the watermelon sold by the Muyue Commercial Bank this year is several times that of last year, but it still presents a phenomenon of short supply, those big families in the capital, with their means and status, ordinary watermelons are no longer the goal they pursue.
So Lu Mingtao became the target of the stewards sent by these people.
"Fourth master, your days are really far away." Lu Mingtao came to Mu Qiyue's newly purchased home and said in a slightly sour tone.
"It's hard work," Mu Qiyue smiled slightly, "I specially prepared good wine for you to comfort your hard work." Mu Qiyue picked up the wine jug and personally poured a glass of wine for Lu Mingtao.
"It's an honor to bother the fourth master." Although Lu Mingtao said this, his eyes still looked at Mu Qiyue vigilantly, and he was courteous when he had nothing to do, which was not a good sign.
"This is the wine that I just got from Wang Village, don't you drink it?" Seeing Lu Mingtao's caution, Mu Qiyue said the reason why he couldn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll taste it for you, if the wine has changed its taste." Lu Mingtao pretended to be embarrassed, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all. "Well, yes, it still smells like that."
"But, Fourth Master, what do you command?" In order not to be too passive, Lu Mingtao still asked first.
"The problem with the wine is solved." Mu Qiyue didn't sell it either.
"Really?" Lu Mingtao was a little surprised, "So Miss Lin agreed to sell the wine to Muyue Trading House?!" "That's great news.
"Hmm. You can find a chance to go to Wang Village. Mu Qiyue said.
"Fourth Master, won't you go over?" Lu Mingtao asked.
"It won't pass for the time being, and it's hard to explain it to Emperor Changmin if it disappears again." Mu Qiyue had a headache, this imperial aunt seemed to be replacing his parents' duties, he came back and desperately wanted to introduce him to a woman in the past few days, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, maybe she would have arranged a blind date by her.
Thinking that the imperial aunt would arrange a bunch of famous ladies to have a garden party or something, Mu Qiyue's head was a little big. Not to mention that his reputation in the capital is now insignificant, even in the past, not many women would favor him. If you don't look at each other, it's just a formality. Nothing practical.
Besides, Mu Qiyue doesn't have the intention of starting a family yet. Thinking of starting a family. Mu Qiyue suddenly remembered Lin Zhu's appearance, and felt that she could earn such a family business at a young age, and she would definitely be extraordinary in the future, I don't know which lucky person would marry her home? Mu Qiyue thought a little sourly.
"Fourth master? Fourth Master? Mu Qiyue was suddenly in a daze. Lu Mingtao was a little puzzled. Called twice. I want him to come back to his soul.
"What's the matter?" Mu Qiyue, who was interrupted from thinking, his voice was a little stiff.
"Uh, you're fine, are you? Would you like to take a break? Lu Mingtao felt that his face was not very good, and he thought that he was a little unwell.
"No, you don't." Mu Qiyue regretted his distraction just now. "I took back two altars this time, take one with you when you leave."
This is equivalent to an eviction order, but Lu Mingtao likes this kind of eviction order very much, and happily takes the order out.
However, before he could walk out of the door, he remembered one thing, and turned back, "Fourth master, Lord Wang of the Hanlin Academy wants to buy more special watermelons, but the current share is really not much." ”
"Oh, this Lord Wang has never been so flamboyant, do you know what the reason is?" Mu Qiyue looked at Lu Mingtao and took a sip of tea.
"I heard that his youngest daughter came back from Jiangnan." Lu Mingtao's gossip is very well-informed.
"Lord Wang's grandson, Queen Qingyan, has a good relationship with Miss Lin, isn't there any movement in her?" Mu Qiyue was very clear about Lin Zhu's reception of Wang Qingyan.
"No, Miss Wang doesn't seem to have mentioned it." Lu Mingtao also felt a little strange, according to Lin Zhu's personality, the people she was close to should take more care of her, why this exception?
"Then give Old Man Wang an extra hundred watermelons." Mu Qiyue was very glad about the decision he made this time after many years.
"Yes." Lu Mingtao got his approval, and then left Mu Qiyue's house.
"Master, the head of the Muyue Commercial Bank has sent someone to bring watermelons." The butler's excited voice came from outside the study door.
"Okay, okay, send it in immediately." Old Man Wang opened the door with a happy expression on his face. "I thought this thing would not be done, but I didn't expect Lu Zhangshi to give the Wang family face like this."
"Butler, go and tell Madame." Old Man Wang commanded.
"Yes." Although Mrs. Wang must have been notified, the housekeeper still responded. "Master, but someone just said that twenty of them were selected and sent, and the others will have to wait a few days, saying that they are freshly picked and will be more delicious."
"Hehe, Lu Zhangshi does know how to do things. Be sure to thank them again. Old Man Wang smiled. The youngest daughter is still a few days away, and it seems that Muyue Trading House has done its homework in doing so.
"Yes." When the butler answered, he went out.
"Grandmother, that's wonderful." Wang Qingyan sat beside Mrs. Wang, and they also got the news that this year's special watermelon will definitely not be missing.
"yes." Mrs. Wang took Wang Qingyan's hand and said with a smile. "It's really good luck this year, Yan'er's face is better, Yurou is coming back, and now I want to get more special watermelons, and our family will definitely have good things this year."
"Not really!" Wan also said with a smile. Since seeing the changes on Wang Qingyan's face with her own eyes, she has been happily closing her mouth, the skin on her daughter's face is not only better, but also better than before, if her daughter wants to appear in the circle of young ladies in the capital, it will definitely cause shock.
Hmph, those who used to laugh at their daughters have to be surprised now.
"Fifteen in three days, are you all ready?" Mrs. Wang asked about Wan's going to the temple to make a vow.
"It's all ready, my aunt and grandmother have also been informed, and she has agreed to go together." Wan replied respectfully.
"That's good," Old Madam Wang nodded.
"Grandmother, mother, I want to invite Sister Zhu to come along, is that okay?" Wang Qingyan was very happy to see them, and took the opportunity to say.
Wan Shi was very grateful to Lin Zhu in her heart, and after listening to her daughter's request, she wanted to agree immediately, and she could apologize for the previous rudeness at that time, but she also thought that her mother-in-law might not be too willing, so she glanced at Mrs. Wang carefully.
Sure enough, Old Madam Wang's face was not as happy as just now, but it was not gloomy. The scene was a little quiet for a while.
"Okay, it's up to you to write the post." Although Mrs. Wang agreed, there is still a need for who writes the post. Let Wang Qingyan write it herself, that is to say, inviting Lin Zhu in her name is just a friendship between the youngest daughter. If Wan wrote it, the nature would be different, which would indicate that the Wang family recognized Lin Zhu.
However, Wang Qingyan didn't understand the twists and turns in this, and she happily went to write a post.
"When the time comes, you pay attention, if that girl wants to take the opportunity to rely on our Wang family, she won't have to have too much to do with her in the future." Mrs. Wang still doesn't want to see Lin Zhu.
"Yes." Although Wan Shi agreed in her mouth, she was a little dissatisfied with her mother-in-law's words in her heart, she didn't think that Lin Zhu would want to take the opportunity to climb the Wang family, otherwise she would not have contradicted Mrs. Wang last time. And after her daughter came back, she opened her mouth and closed her mouth to see how good this Lin girl was to her and Zhang Manyun.
Even if her daughter is not familiar with the world, Zhang Manyun is smart and clever, and she has a very good eye for people, and even the person she recognizes must have a bad character. Besides, there is also the face of the in-laws Dr. Zhang. No matter how you say it, you have to be kind to Lin Zhu.
Wan Shi secretly made up her mind, so she specially prepared some gifts and gave them to Lin Zhu when the time came.
At the same time that the Wan family and others were preparing for the incense in the fifteen temples, the Lin family was also preparing, but compared to the simplicity of the Wang family, the Lin family was a large number.
Mrs. Lin thought that before the weather became hotter, she would go to the temple to worship the Buddha and incense, so that the people in the family could be loose.
So not only the four rooms of the Lin family, but also Mrs. Lin and Dong Yuzhen's mother and daughter. This time, there will be no less than fifteen people from the master alone, not to mention the servants who follow, and the mighty fifty or sixty people will march towards the temple together.
Dong Yuzhen also sent an invitation to Lin Zhu, but she couldn't arrange Lin Zhu into the house, so she could only make an appointment to meet in the temple.
Wang Qingyan directly invited Lin Zhu to come to her house first, and then go to the temple together.
Lin Zhu connected to the post, and after reading it, she did not agree to Wang Qingyan's request, firstly, if she joined the Wang family, it would waste a lot of time, and secondly, she didn't want to go directly to the door of the Wang family now.
She felt that the relationship with the Wang family was not good enough not to mention, if she entered the Wang family again, it would be somewhat embarrassing to contact Wang Qingyan's elders, and it would be better to meet in the temple, so that she could have more freedom.
However, she went out to play, but she couldn't take Fu Dou'er with her, there were too many people in the temple, and it was really not safe for him, so he was appeased for a while, and promised a lot of conditions to stabilize Fu Dou'er.
After Lin Zhu was ready, he set off to the house in the capital first, because the temple was in the west of the capital, and if you started from here, it was much closer than starting from Wang Village, in order to get to the temple early, Lin Zhu decided that he must get up early in the morning.
Wang Qingyan received Lin Zhu's reply, although she was a little disappointed, it was also reasonable.
"Mother, Sister Zhu will meet us in the temple." Wang Qingyan came to Wan's room.
"Well, Miss Lin is really very smart." Wan couldn't help but sigh. (To be continued......)
