Chapter 325: Hangzhou Shipwright

As for the other three men, two of them were dressed in brocade clothes and looked natural.

The last person looked a little embarrassed, and he was also wearing coarse linen clothes, and his eyes were evasive.

Lu Yuan secretly guessed that he should be the one who was ignored by Yuwen Xiao.

"Du Gongzi, this is Yang Gongzi." Xuemei saw Lu Yuan looking at the man in Mai and introduced him.

"Yang Gongzi is good." Lu Yuan gave up.

Yang Gongzi saw that Miss Xuemei had relieved herself, and her embarrassment was gone, and he nodded and said, "Du Gongzi is good." ”

What he didn't notice was that the hostility in the eyes of Wu Gongzi and Liu Gongzi when they looked at him was even stronger.

After that, everyone chatted and ate at the same time.

Wu Gongzi and Liu Gongzi originally took the initiative to say a few words to Li Ruozhen, but Li Ruozhen ignored them and only cared about eating.

Although she eats elegantly, eating by herself on this occasion will inevitably make people feel uneducated, so they will no longer talk to her.

Miss Xuemei is different, smiling and talking to everyone, and only eating a chopstick every once in a while, showing her elegant temperament.

And Lu Yuan silently calculated, the time between her each time is almost the same, which is really powerful.

The interesting thing is not only this, during the conversation of everyone, Lu Yuan found that Wu Gongzi and Liu Gongzi were disdainful of the man surnamed Yang, almost as if he did not exist.

Although Yuwen Xiao is not as obvious as the two of them, he doesn't look very good at seeing Yang Gongzi.

In contrast, Miss Xuemei takes great care of Yang Gongzi and often takes the initiative to talk to him.

Lu Yuan smiled and blended into the conversation, interjecting from time to time, and answering other people's questions.

But if you integrate what he said, you will find that he didn't say anything substantive at all, only revealing that he was doing business, and even concealed the things he came from Hui'an Mansion.

On the contrary, after talking, Lu Yuan has figured out the details of the identities of the four people.

Miss Xuemei is indeed one of the four great oirans, Wu Gongzi is the son of a great merchant, Liu Gongzi is from an official family, and the one who interests him the most is Yang Gongzi.

He was a shipbuilder.

After inquiry, Lu Yuan learned that Wu Yueguo had a special shipbuilding workshop, called Pinghaifang, which was inhabited by shipbuilding craftsmen, and the scale was far larger than that of the Hui'an Mansion Engineer Academy.

Lu Yuan immediately made a decision, he must go to Pinghaifang to have a look.

His goal in the future is to build an invincible sailor, which is too difficult to achieve with the size of the Engineer Academy alone.

was pondering his plan for the navy, when a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the stairwell, and Lu Yuan looked up and saw a familiar face.

It is Zhang Jie, the son of the Ministry of Rites.

And next to him, there was a man in a blue silk brocade robe. The man was tall, his face was like a crown of jade, although he was talking to Zhang Jie in his mouth, his eyes glanced at everyone on the second floor, and his expression revealed a domineering momentum.

Lu Yuan's heart sank, judging from the attitude of this person talking to Zhang Jie and the appearance he showed, his identity must be more noble than Zhang Jie.

The two were followed by five other people, who found a table in the middle and sat down, and began to talk about something. However, the man in blue kept his eyes on Lu Yuan and them in this direction.

Lu Yuan noticed that the generous Xuemei girl began to get nervous, could it be that the man in blue was looking at her?

I don't know if it's time to eat, not long after Zhang Jie and the others went upstairs, footsteps came from the stairs again.

There were a total of four people who went upstairs this time, and Lu Yuan was taken aback when he saw them.

One of them is Zhu Zuo that Lu Yuan saw yesterday, if it was just him, Lu Yuan would not be too surprised, the key is that the person next to him turned out to be the candidate named Wang Hui that Lu Yuan knew during the imperial examination.

At the beginning, after he failed the list, he invited Lu Yuan to go to Hangzhou to relax, but Lu Yuan refused, but he didn't expect him to really come to Hangzhou, and he was still with Zhu Zuo.

It seems that this Wang Hui is not simple, Lu Yuan thought to himself.

At the beginning, he only said that his family had money, but now, his family is likely to be a big businessman's family, otherwise he would not be with the prime minister's son.

After Zhu Zuo and the others went upstairs, they found a seat and sat down, and since he arrived, the eyes of the boy in blue shifted to him, but Zhu Zuo ignored him.

Suddenly, the man in blue said something to a man in brown beside him, and the man stood up.

Just when Lu Yuan thought that the man in brown was going to talk to Zhu Zuo, the other party actually walked towards their table.

"Yang Yi, this is not the place where you should come, get out of here for me!" The man in brown approached and spoke coldly.

Yang Yi? Could it be that he is coming for Yang Gongzi?

Yang Yi was the man in sackcloth, he was humiliated in such public, and his face turned red.

looked at a few people at the same table, and found that Liu Gongzi, Wu Gongzi and Yuwen Xiao all looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, Miss Xuemei lowered her head, Miss Du was eating, and Du Gongzi was in a daze, and no one said a word for themselves.

"Don't make me repeat it a second time!" The man in brown said impatiently.

Yang Yi gritted his teeth and stood up and left the second floor, although Lu Yuan was a little puzzled, he didn't intervene.

"Brother Yuwen, what the hell is going on?" After the man in brown left, Lu Yuan asked Yuwen Xiao.

"You know, I'm new to Hangzhou, so I don't know." Yuwen Xiao smiled and prevaricated.

Liu Gongzi next to him interjected: "Du Gongzi, do you know about the war between your Hui'an Mansion and our Wu Yue Kingdom some time ago?" ”

"Of course I do."

Liu Gongzi snorted and said, "Don't think that your Hui'an Navy has defeated our Wu Yue Army, your Hui'an Army is stronger than our Wu Yue Army." ”

"I didn't say that." Lu Yuan smiled.

"But that's what you think in your heart, let me tell you, the reason why we lost was not because our Wu Yue soldiers were inferior to you, but because of Yang Yi and their boatmen." Liu Gongzi said angrily.

"What's the reasoning?" Lu Yuan was stunned.

Liu Gongzi snorted coldly: "That's the case, the main reason why our Wu Yue Navy will lose is because our ship is not as good as yours. ”

"If Brother Liu thinks so, there is no way to do it." Lu Yuan spread his hands, not wanting to argue with him.

Liu Gongzi said hurriedly: "This is not what I think, but the conclusion of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military discussions." The king was extremely angry about this, dismissed the shipbuilder Yang Xun from his official position, and issued an edict that all shipwrights were not allowed to wear silk on the streets until the Hui'an Navy was defeated! ”

Lu Yuan was stunned.

However, he quickly reacted that Yang Yi and the others were probably being used as scapegoats.

Wu Yue was defeated by Hui'an Mansion several times, and the losses were still so huge, the government and the opposition needed to give the people an explanation to calm public opinion.

In this way, there needs to be a scapegoat to come out and take the blame, and Yang Yi and these powerless shipwrights are naturally the best candidates to take the blame.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth, in order to shirk the responsibility, King Wu Yue threw the blame on those shipwrights, you can imagine how bad the situation of those shipwrights is at the moment.

In this situation, they must have resentment in their hearts, these people may be nothing in Qian Hongyu's eyes, but they are treasures in Lu Yuan's eyes.

His mind immediately became active, and he decided to find an opportunity to contact these shipwrights and persuade them to take refuge in Hui'an.

While thinking about it, there was a rush of footsteps in the stairwell, Lu Yuan looked up and found that a capable man walked upstairs quickly, walked to the side of the boy in blue, and said something in his ear.

After hearing this, the boy in blue quickly got up and walked in the direction of the stairs, and Zhang Jie and the others hurriedly followed.

Lu Yuan was feeling strange, and another person hurriedly went upstairs and said something in Zhu Gongzi's ear, and Zhu Gongzi reacted like the boy in blue, and also walked downstairs quickly.

Lu Yuan took the opportunity to ask the people at the table about the identity of the boy in blue, and only then did he learn that he was Cai Rong, the little marquis.

"Da da da", footsteps came from the stairwell again, Lu Yuan looked up and saw a familiar face, it was Yao Jian who came to Hangzhou with him.

He was also a little surprised when he saw Lu Yuan and Li Ruozhen, and greeted the two: "Brother Du, Miss Du." ”

Lu Yuan returned the salute, Li Ruozhen glanced at him and lowered his head, I don't know if he forgot about him.

"Isn't there something going on out there?" Yuwen Xiao asked, Cai Rong and Zhu Gongzi left in a hurry, which made him a little concerned.

Yao Jian nodded and said: "Yes, Dai Gongzi and the eldest prince of the Cai family fought in the Women's Poetry Club, they set up a gamble, Dai Gongzi sent someone to find the inn, let you hurry over." ”

Lu Yuan, who was listening, laughed dumbly, how could it be a women's poetry club again?

Yesterday Zhang Jie and Song Hong had a fight there, and today it was replaced by Dai Gongzi and the eldest son of the Cai family, and that Dai Gongzi seemed to know Yu Wenxiao.

"What are they fighting?" Yuwen Xiao frowned and asked.

"I heard that the people sent by Dai Gongzi said that there were three fights, and the topic was Yiyi by Li Junyi, a talented man from Hui'an Mansion, and the eldest son of the Han family and Mr. Gan did the arbitration, and there are many people with heads and faces who will go to watch, Dai Gongzi seems to attach great importance to this matter, let us definitely go over."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan finally knew the reason why Cai Rong and Zhu Gongzi left in a hurry, and he didn't expect Su Qingzhe to also get involved.

Yuwen Xiao's expression became a little serious, and he nodded: "I know." ”

said to Miss Xuemei: "I'm sorry, Miss Xuemei, I have something to deal with next." ”
