"Sir! I'm still a little reluctant to go to Lu Mansion to be a companion reading boy, I'd rather be a guy in the warehouse! Then come back every night to learn the way of doing business with you. Shang Yu sat in the carriage and said to Lu Shaobei with some reluctance.

"Huh! Xiao Yu, you kid has a stubborn temper! This time it wasn't your mother begging me, I didn't want you to go to Lu Mansion, but this time you only stayed in Lu Mansion for a while, that young master Shen Fu was originally the son of Shen You, a wealthy family in Zhejiang Province, his father died of illness a few years ago, and was sent to Quanzhou by his mother to study, and he also has a great relationship with my Lu family! ”

"Mr. Lu, I really don't want to go to the official school, please let me stay in the business!" Shang Yu still said with a glimmer of hope.

"Xiao Yu, listen to me, this time you can learn a lot of knowledge in the official school while accompanying him, not to make you a scholar! If the young master returns to Zhouzhuang, Zhejiang, you can still return to the business, and the time is only a few months. ”

"You are still young, and it is not my wish to work in the firm too early! You talked to me a few days ago about the method of unified purchase and delivery, I think it will improve the supply capacity of the business, and also avoid a large number of idle goods, and is preparing to add a part of the branch of each province to try this method! Even if you can come up with such a wonderful method at such a young age, I won't let you go to Nalu Mansion to be a subordinate! When Lu Shaobei said this, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

"So that's it? It's only been a few months, and that's okay! It's just that my mother and my little four eldest brother are going to ask you to take care of it! Shang Yu nodded happily when he heard Lu Shaobei say this, a few months will pass soon, and then he can continue to work in the business, and he can continue to go to the port every day to peek at the shipbuilding workshop.

"That's fine! Later, when you arrive at the Lu Mansion, you will see the old man and the young master! You have to know how to count! Lu Shaobei told Shang Yu and said.

Shang Yu nodded again and again, and suddenly thought of the second young lady Lu Wanlai, and there was an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest expression on his face, if it wasn't for Shang Mei's persecution of him, he wouldn't agree to enter the Lu family's mansion to do this kind of thing he didn't like.

"Sir! I brought a companion reading boy for the young master, who was waiting outside, a smart and clever young man in our business, and he would have the potential to be the manager of the business in the future, so it was most appropriate for him to accompany the young master during this time. After Lu Shaobei walked into the main house of Lu's North, he immediately saluted and said.

Lu Weixuan, the master of the Lu family, leaned on the rattan chair with a pale face, and after hearing Lu Shaobei's words, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Someone was invited so soon?" Brother Lu! Please sit down, if you hadn't run the business all these years, I'm afraid our Lu family would have declined long ago, let alone become the first business in Quanzhou! ”

Lu Shaobei immediately smiled modestly, and was not polite, but slowly sat on the five-legged chair on Lu Weixuan's side, and said with a smile: "Master! If you hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't have stood here, it is natural to do things for the Lu family's firm, you can be polite to me! ”

"Huh! You and I are like brothers, but you keep calling me my master! Lu Fu, you go and take that young guy outside to Shen Fu directly! By the way, I ordered someone to send two cups of tea, and I want to have a good talk with Mr. Lu! As Lu Weixuan spoke, he motioned for the housekeeper standing beside him to leave, and the housekeeper Lu Fu bowed and left.

"Sir! You don't look at the people I brought anymore? Lu Shaobei asked with some surprise.

"No, you can't be wrong with choosing the land, and it doesn't matter if you're stupid! My nephew Shen Fu just needs a follower to get some items for him, and the person you pick out will have no problem when you want to do this! When Lu Weixuan mentioned Shen Fu's name, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"So that's it? That's fine. Lu Shaobei couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw Lu Weixuan's expression.

"Brother Lu! I really look forward to the righteous army being able to capture Fuzhejiang Province as soon as possible, so that our Lu family is worthy of being the descendants of the branch of the Han Shang League, and we will not be unable to explain to our ancestors, can you tell me in detail about the recent affairs of the righteous army? Lu Weixuan saw that the housekeeper had already walked out of the door, so he asked Lu Shaobei in a low voice.

"Sir, the situation is very delicate now! The kings of the Western Regions did not listen to the decree of the Emperor of the Yuan Court, and the chess piece of the Prime Minister of Tokhtar in the center of our Fuzhejiang Province, Za Kecha, had been pulled out by Huizong, and the county lord Xianglan'er was ordered to manage this place, and there were two fierce tigers in the non-Tokhtar line between the provinces of Fuzhejiang, which was probably not noticed by Huizong! Lu Shaobei said in a low voice.

"Oh? Brother Lu, please speak! Lu Weixuan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and immediately asked.

"These two people have been plotting for a long time, they are ......" Lu Shaobei immediately whispered to Lu Weixuan.

Lu Fu said while walking with Shang Yu: "Young Master Biao has a strange temper, you must not provoke him, everything is more smooth!" After the year, the young master will return to Zhouzhuang to inherit the ancestral business, and then you can stay in the house to do things, which is much easier than being a buddy outside, and the monthly money will be much more. ”

Shang Yu reluctantly agreed, but asked Lu Fu again: "Steward Lu, does the young master have a big temper?" ”

"Oh! What's this...... That's not it, his family is the largest landlord in Zhouzhuang, and he looks down on the businessmen who walk around the most, and he came to our Lu family to seek a little fame in the official school, and then return to Zhouzhuang to obtain the qualification to inherit the ancestral land. ”

"Steward Lu, then after the year-end exam, the young master will leave Quanzhou?" Shang Yu couldn't help asking.

"Yes, so you have to be careful! Several scholars have been kicked out by him before, so he has to find someone in the business, you are selected by Mr. Lu, you will not be wrong! The implication seems to be to respect Lu Shao's North Pole.

While talking, the two of them had already crossed several courtyards, walked directly to the main house on the south side, and entered it.

The south main house is a building used by the Lu family to receive relatives with foreign surnames, and the pattern is quite similar to the north main house.

"Young Master! My lord asked me to bring you a new scholar. Lu Fu asked Shang Yu to wait outside, and said after entering the room.

"Oh! Let him wait outside! My cousin and I will finish this painting! You should go back to accompany your uncle-in-law first! A clear man's voice rang out in the room.

"Okay, young master! Then I'll go out first, and the old man's side is indeed inseparable from me! Ruffo stepped out of it as he spoke.

He looked at Shang Yu and said, "Shang Yu, you wait at the door!" Young Master Cousin will see you in a while, be careful not to anger him! By the end of the day, the voice was very low.

"I understand!" Shang Yu nodded, but in his heart he had an extremely bad opinion of the Lu family, and said in his heart: "That master doesn't see me, this young master is so special, he actually let me wait outside!" ”

Seeing Shang Yu reply, Lu Fu nodded and left on his own.

I only heard a crisp voice in the room say: "Cousin, I heard the housekeeper seem to say the word Shang Yu outside, wait for me to see if it is the wooden fish I once mentioned to you outside!" ”

"Cousin, this painting is about to be completed, you can go out later!" The clear man's voice said with some urgency, obviously for some purpose.

"You don't have anything in this painting! It's just two waterfowl playing in the water, but it's so serious! I'd like to see what kind of scholar Dad has found for you this time! As she spoke, the curtain lifted, and a girl leaned out of the door.

Shang Yu looked up, and couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Wan!" Why are you here? "There's something wrong with my gut feeling.

"Sure enough, it's you, cousin! It's really Muyu, but I didn't expect him to be your scholar! Now there's something to do! Lu Wan immediately turned around and said inside.

"Hey! After all, my picture of playing in the water mandarin duck can not be completed, and the painting is done in one go, and there can be no delay in the meantime, otherwise it will lose its artistic conception even if it is completed, and it can only be regarded as a subordinate. Cousin, let the newly-arrived scholar in! The man said with a sigh.

Lu Wan looked at Shang Yu as if he had seen an extremely rare item, and said with a strange smile on his face: "Muyu, go in!" My cousin lets you in. ”

Shang Yu replied with a stiff face, "Yes, Second Miss!" But he said in his heart: "I didn't expect to meet her so soon, it's really unlucky!" I'd better be careful not to be teased by her like I used to. ”

Shang Yu followed Lu Wan into the room, and saw a man shaking his head with some regret in front of an unfinished painting.

But when Shang Yuben followed Lu Wan to the table, the corner of his eye involuntarily looked at the painting scroll on the table, and he couldn't help but be attracted by the graphics in the painting, and instantly a thought that wanted to laugh rose in his heart, so that his face turned red.

The man turned around and saw that Shang Yu thought it was good at first glance, but then he saw Shang Yudi's expression, and immediately shouted: "You are so rude, and you don't salute when you see Young Master Ben, but you stared straight at my unfinished picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, can it be that a lowly person like you also knows how to paint?" ”

After Shang Yu heard this, the smiling expression on his face immediately put away, and he said angrily in his heart: "I just heard that Steward Lu said that this person has a strange temper, and he really didn't say anything wrong!" To speak to people like this, are we ordinary people so unbearable in their eyes? ”

Although he was angry in his heart, he said in his mouth: "Shang Yu has seen Young Master Biao, and he just saw your painting, and he was a little excited in his heart, so he didn't give you a gift!" I beg your pardon! ”

"Oh? It seems that you really know how to paint, so you can tell me, where is my painting attractive, and it will make you lose your manners? After listening to Shang Yu's words, the man asked Shang Yu with an interested expression on his originally slightly angry face.

"Cousin, where does this wooden fish know what to draw? He was just a kid in a mountain village, and he only studied in a private school for a while, and then dropped out of school because he didn't have a silver tael! Lu Wan interjected on the side and said.

Shang Yu was originally a little angry when he heard Shen Fudi's words, but after hearing Lu Wandi's words, he couldn't help but say angrily: "This painting is not a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water at all, I'm afraid this painting shows that the young master has ulterior motives, right?" ”
