Shuyang Wharf hired a carriage and horses, one Lu Ning and Gan's and Lu Erjie took it, the other Xiao Taohong and Xiao Cui took it, Land Rover and four wrestlers followed, and the rest of the wrestlers stayed in the painting boat to guard.

The eldest brother-in-law, Li Feng, was originally a business partner with the Wang family in Haizhou, and was Wang Xian's personal entourage, following Wang Xian to the East China Sea to sell salt.

Later, Wang Xian saw that this lady was so beautiful, and when he heard that there was a younger sister in the family, he did the same and married the second sister Lu, but at that time, the Wang family had gradually declined, and the dowry he promised has not been fulfilled.

On the contrary, I heard that in recent years, my eldest brother-in-law Li Feng, after leaving Wang Xian, his business has become bigger and bigger, and there are several shops in Shuyang County.

Lu Ning learned the lesson of meeting with the second sister, prepared a lot of heavy gifts, and brought a maidservant girl with him, preparing to officially visit the door.

If the eldest sister is living a similar life, as long as she is not abused like the second sister, even if she was a little angry before, but in the future, because of the power of her mother's family, then she will not be worshiped as Guanyin Bodhisattva in the Li family?

Lu Ning didn't want to visit the second eldest sister's house by himself, and he wanted to force the eldest sister to reconcile.

Otherwise, wouldn't he become a marriage crusher for his relatives?

Although Li Feng and Wang Xian turned against each other after flying solo, and the second sister and eldest sister didn't move for a long time, Second Sister Lu still vaguely remembered the first shop in Li Feng's family.

It's called "Li Family Salt Shop".

Nowadays, the fang market system of the Tang Dynasty has collapsed, and the main street of Shuyang County, Loess Avenue, is mostly lined with shops with various flags.

The location of Lijiayan is good, at the intersection of the east and west and the north and south main streets, the pedestrians are bustling, and Shuyang County is very prosperous.

Land Rover took the name and entered the salt store.

On the name prepared by Lu Ning, there are six lines vertically, and the words "Gong Lu Ning, the founder of the East China Sea, the sister of the Gong, and the Gan family of the Dongshang Palace of the Gongfu" are written in turn.

After a while, he saw a person hurrying out of the salt shop, but Land Rover's footsteps fell behind him.

The man came to the front of the two horses and knelt down: "Li Feng, grass people, meet the Duke of Donghai!" ”

This person wears silk and satin, and does not have the majesty of an official, at first glance, he is a businessman, his figure and face are square, and he does not have the slippery feeling of many businessmen.

It is Li Feng, the husband of Sister Lu.

Lu Ning had already hurriedly got out of the car and said with a smile: "Family, brother-in-law, where did you come from such a big gift?" As he spoke, he picked him up.

Li Feng smiled with a smile on his face, "This, the upper and lower are relatives, and they can't mess up the etiquette system, right?!" ”

He is well-informed, and his cronies are often sent to the East China Sea to sell salt, and he has heard that the East China Sea has sealed a founding county duke, and occasionally heard that the East China Sea Duke is called Lu Ning, who is a farmer, and he is puzzled, so he sent someone to inquire in detail who this Donghai Duke is, but he doesn't want to, but the Donghai Gong is his wife's brother Lu Ning.

This can make him excited, the day he heard the message, he was ready to go to the East China Sea to kowtow to his mother-in-law, if the East China Sea Gong can summon it, it would be the best.

However, Sister Lu said that she didn't go anywhere, saying that you were like a miser, and you never prepared heavy gifts for the New Year, and you were driven back last year, and you won't go this year, and now you know that my little brother is developed? Going to stammer? I'm willing to go by yourself, I don't have that face.

Recently, for more than a month, Li Feng has been grinding this matter with his wife, who has been regarded as an ancestor, but Sister Lu has never let go.

But I didn't want to, Donghai Gong took the initiative to visit today, Li Feng was almost happy, and said again and again: "First, please go back to the cold house with the grass people, and my sister is looking forward to seeing you day and night." ”

Lu Ning was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that he didn't blame my eldest brother-in-law's business getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that not only did he know my identity earlier, but he also inquired about what to call me.

The first honorific title, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, because there was no real feudal, has only existed in the annals of history, it was Lu Ning who was feuded the country, led by the Qiao Sheren, and the county officials and Lu family servants were educated, which all followed and slowly popularized in the East China Sea.

And this eldest brother-in-law inquired clearly and understood early.

This shows his carefulness and attention to information gathering.

Today's businessmen are good at collecting all kinds of information, which should be the most important.

However, this subordinate title, according to the etiquette system, should only be limited to the East China Sea, and officials with low grades should also call themselves subordinate when they go to the East China Sea, and when they go out of the East China Sea Kingdom, they don't need to be called so, that is, the people of Li Shu, it is enough to call the East China Sea Gong, let alone officials.

The brother-in-law called him like this, which was somewhat flattering.

Over there, Li Feng had already called a guy and whispered a few words in his ear, and the guy immediately rushed away, and he went back to the Li Mansion to inform him that he wanted the mansion to make preparations early.

……

"Ping Pong".

When the vehicle was about to arrive at the Li Mansion, there was a sudden loud noise.

Land Rover and the others were startled, and immediately pulled out their waist knives and guarded the car.

"Oops, the grass people are guilty, the grass people are guilty!" Li Feng hurriedly confessed again and again, "It's the grass people, the firecrackers that were ordered to be lit, today is festive, the grass people have no form, the grass people have no form!" ”

Lifting the curtain, Lu Ning smiled: "It's okay." ”

Li Mansion is a courtyard with two entrances, at this time, outside the gate, it is already full of people, with Li Feng's mother, Mrs. Li taking the lead, and standing with her is Sister Lu, and the rest of her sons and daughters-in-law are all lined up.

And Sister Lu's transcendent treatment has already started since Li Feng heard that the Duke of Donghai is Lu Ning.

Lu Ning got out of the car, Mrs. Li led her son and daughter-in-law to kneel, and Lu Ning was busy supporting.

Second Sister Lu and Gan got off at this time, except for Sister Lu, everyone worshiped again, calling Second Sister Lu "Mrs.", and Gan was "Mrs. Shanggong".

Then, Lu Ning and other nobles entered the house, and Xiao Cui, Xiao Taohong, Land Rover and others began to sort out the gifts on the car, classify them and put them on a plate, and cover them with red silk cloth.

Near Li's Mansion, the lively city has been surrounded by a sea of people.

Li Feng couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and he couldn't wait for everyone in the county to come and see his scenery today.

……

Back house, sumptuous dishes, according to the rules of Donghai Gong, Mrs. Li, Sister Lu, Second Sister Lu and Dongshang Palace were all arranged at the main table, and Donghai Gong was at the same table.

In this way, except for the current head of the Li family, Li Feng, the rest of the men avoided it, and only Li Feng accompanied him at the main table.

Sister Lu and Second Sister Lu whispered.

Lu Ning sighed softly in her heart, it seems that the eldest sister is much harder than the second sister, the second sister really has no choice, she has a humble status at home, and she can't be the master at all.

Even so, after seeing herself, even if the second sister was secretly pawning things at home to maintain the family's expenses, she was still ready to spare some rice and grain for herself to take away.

As for the eldest sister, when she married Li Feng, Li Feng was not as developed as she is now, and she is considered a bad wife, so although the eldest sister was not as detached in the Li family as she was in front of her, as the wife of the head of the family, she can still do it if she wants to help her mother's family, but obviously in this matter, the eldest sister does not have that mind.

Of course, it may have something to do with the fact that when she got married, her mother failed to marry her, and she always felt that her mother was too partial to herself.

However, now that everything has passed, I can't talk about blaming the eldest sister, but family affection is sometimes a very fragile thing.

Later generations of brothers and sisters are against the purpose, and there are still few?

Families who are too poor or too rich may have the weakest affection, and of course, it varies from person to person.

Now that the eldest sister is doing well, that's fine.

But by myself, I must help my second sister find a better home.

Seeing that the eldest sister was holding the second sister's hand, the eldest sister had a big emerald ring on her hand, and I didn't know if it was deliberately revealed, so she held the second sister's hand and spoke.

In fact, I gave my second sister a lot of jewelry, but the second sister didn't want to wear it, and she may have always felt ashamed of herself and her mother, especially her mother, who couldn't pull down her face, and she hadn't really accepted the second sister, after all, she was going to break off the relationship with the eldest sister and the second sister, and the words had already been spoken.

Women in this era, such as their own mothers, sometimes think like this.

Lu Ning looked at Li Feng, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "The firecrackers in front of Fangcai's mansion seem to be gunpowder in the bamboo tube?" ”

Li Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know?" Then he smiled and said: "It's a poor sour show to make up things, he can't read, he loves to tinker with these things, I sometimes meet him, I'm afraid there are any business opportunities, isn't it?" But this guy, most of the things he is tinkering with are flashy, and there is nothing to sell. ”

Lu Ning nodded slightly, the eldest brother-in-law is indeed a business material.

"Where are the people? I want to meet. Lu Ning said with a smile, isn't what he wants to collect is this kind of talent? If they can't come up with something useful, they are called dreamers who don't do their jobs, and if they can do it, they are inventors.

Li Feng smiled: "Okay, good." "The heart said that Donghai Gong also wants to do business?

"Little brother, you just opened the mansion, and all kinds of expenses are not small, right? This autumn's taxes are in the treasury again, and if you need your brother-in-law's support, just keep up! Sister Lu said suddenly.

"Well, what are these words? I've already prepared a hundred dollars for the next one. Li Feng glared at Sister Lu, and said in his heart that this mother-in-law just can't get on the stage, what did she say?

In the past, because she was Wang Xian's follower, she especially liked to compare with Lu Erniang, and when she heard that the Wang family was defeated, she was happy for many days.

But can this Tokai Gong be the same? Even if you are short of money, it is temporary, so how much taxes are paid in Donghai County a year, do you know? The eyelids are so thin.

Moreover, it seems that your younger brother is not short of money, except for Lu Erniang's shabby point, do you think the pearl in your brother's crown is fake?

Well, even if this is a permanent crown given by the royal family, it is useless and cannot be exchanged for money, but what about Dongshang Palace, although she did not dare to look at her carefully, but her eyes turned slightly, and she knew that the jewelry she was wearing was too exquisite, and the exquisite seemed to be fake, for example, a string of blue beads inlaid with her jade hairpin was too crystal clear, and many ordinary rich women used glass instead of pearl and jade for the façade.

However, if it is true, then the various ornaments worn by Dongshang Palace are afraid that they are worth thousands of yuan.

Li Feng's heart trembled suddenly, and he felt that his mother-in-law might be right, what are you doing? Wandering around with a thousand fortunes on your head?

However, no matter what, even if Donghai Gong's life is temporarily embarrassed, it will be over in a blink of an eye.
