When Liu Da's family and Liu Yuan were deliberating, the Lu family was also discussing in the study, but the atmosphere here was relatively harmonious.

Master Lu looked at Master Lu Shao and asked, "How are things prepared?" ”

Lu Shao asked, "Dad, are you really not leaving?" ”

Lu Da shook his head, of course he couldn't go, as soon as he, the person in charge, left, wouldn't it let people know that the Lu family took advantage of the disaster to escape, isn't it that the Lu family is in danger.

Lu Shao looked at Lu Shao with concern and asked, "Dad, we automatically donated a sum of money, can't we solve this matter?" ”

Lu Da refused and said: "No, we can't be this bird." Tomorrow you and your mother and your wife and children will leave on the royal family's boat. ”

"Dad, why don't I stay?" Lu Shao's family was not worried about leaving his father alone in Kyoto City, and proposed to stay by himself.

Lu Da said: "Let's go, take this opportunity to go out and have a look." ”

Seeing this, Lu Shao stopped talking about it, and changed the subject: "Dad, do we really want to choose to stand with the Zhong family?" They don't choose power, but they choose the powerless Zhong family, he is very uneasy, it is better to be a simple merchant.

Master Lu nodded helplessly, his son could have Zhong Xuanlan's usual means, and he would not be worried.

In the past, their Lu family chose the Zhong family, and today they still choose the Zhong family, and only the big ship of the Zhong family can make the Lu family set sail again.

"Children, remember that no matter what happens to the Zhong family, we are still firmly tied to the Zhong family."

Lu Shao asked, "Dad, is something going to happen?" ”

He only got news about the disaster, nothing else, but he still sensed that something was going to happen.

Lu Da said: "It's just a big drought now." "Whether it will lead to war, he is not sure.

At the time of the death of Prince Gong's old princess, Mobei had already raised troops, but it was blocked by the internal strife in the royal court, and now the civil strife in the royal court has been resolved, and the new emperor has ascended the throne, but the current king of Mobei is old, and a new round of imperial power struggle is being staged, I don't know if the prince of Mobei will use a war to establish his position.

And the Southern Liang side is also ready to move, the Western Fan Kingdom and the Hu State have always looked at Mobei and Southern Liang to act, if the two countries raise troops against the Eastern Yuan, then these two countries will definitely not be settled, and the former Five Kingdoms War will be staged again.

And today's Dongyuan is not the Dongyuan of the past, and it has no ability to resist the attacks of these four countries, not to mention that Zhong Xuanlan will only watch from the sidelines or maybe add fuel to the trouble, and he will definitely not reach out to help Dongyuan.

Lu Shao didn't believe it, but he didn't have the ability to let his father tell what was in his heart, so he chose to retire.

After Lu Da Dang waited for Lu Shao to leave, he took out a token from his sleeve pocket, engraved with Lan Gui on one side and "Lu Yi" on the other, and stroked the token.

He thought something was going to end.

Zhong girl, can you take on this heavy responsibility?

The old man has put all his belongings on you, you can't let the old man down!

On the other side, the three father and son of the An family were also discussing things in the study.

An Da Boss looked at An Shao and asked, "Can we arrange our business in various places at the border gates?" ”

An Shao's face was solemn and said, "There is still a business in Youzhou that has not been handled well. ”

"Didn't it make you move early, why was it late?"

An Da Boss's face was extremely displeased, he saw Zhong Xuanlan leave, and repeatedly reduced the Zhong family's business, he noticed that there was something in it.

So he began to send people to inquire about the news, and learned that the Zhong family's business in various places at the border was transferred, and when he sensed that something was wrong, he immediately asked his son and the local stewards to quickly transfer their business.

It turned out to be late.

An Shao knew that his father was unhappy, but he couldn't help it.

His father wanted him to do something, and he was afraid that he would be in charge of the family business, so he guarded him and asked his second brother to follow him, but his second brother didn't understand anything, which made him shackled, if he hadn't blocked it several times, he would have almost exposed the news, so that others would notice the abnormality.

"Dad, why is this happening, you should ask the second brother, the second brother knows it very well." An Shao looked at the people who were leisurely drinking tea and were silent.

An Da looked at his second son, and saw that he didn't have any sense of making a mistake, and was still sitting there, a little angry, but in front of his eldest son, he couldn't help but didn't say it: "Qiang'er, what do you say is going on?" ”

An Qiang put down the teacup, glanced at An Shao's master, and then looked at An Da's master and shirked his responsibility with a smile: "Dad, you can't blame me for this matter, you let me and my eldest brother do things, but the eldest brother took it alone, and didn't let me interfere at all, I can only do it on the side, and I will do it when I get started, I have no complaints, now it's obvious that the eldest brother made a mistake, but it's to blame me." ”

After a pause, An Qiang looked at An Shao's family and asked, "Big brother, this is not right, if you hadn't stopped me, would the business in Youzhou have not been transferred until now?" ”

An Shao didn't respond to An Qiang's words, drinking tea, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of his father's unhappy face, and his eyes became cold.

After controlling his emotions, An Shao put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Dad, if the second prince knows that our An family is stepping on two boats, I don't know what will happen?" ”

One sentence lowered the atmosphere in the study to a freezing point.

An Shao glanced at the looks of the two, and sneered in his heart, An family, he is going to decide, in the past, it was difficult to settle the family, and it was all thanks to his mother's dowry to turn the corner.

When his mother died of illness, he married another man, and he also had the idea of giving the business to his younger son, which was his mother's dowry, and he would never fall into the hands of outsiders.

An Shao said: "Dad, I will personally go to Youzhou to transfer business, I heard that Zhong Xuanlan is also there, but do you need to join forces with her?" ”

It's okay if you don't agree, but I will definitely join forces with it, and I will press the entire An family, Dad, you just wait to sit in an empty shell and settle down as the head of the family! An Shao thought about it.

An Qiang said disdainfully: "No, why should my An family join forces with the Zhong family, I don't agree." ”

An Shao took a look at An Qiang, and he decided to abolish this person before he left, saving him from tossing things, letting his backyard catch fire, and giving his father a generous gift by the way.

The head of An Da glanced at his two sons and shook his head slightly.

Although he dotes on Xiao'er, the position of head of the family is still handed over to the eldest son, but now that his eldest son has separated from him, he may have planned a way back for himself, but he and the An family may not be in the scope of his consideration.

And this child is Adou who can't be helped.

What should he do?

After being silent for a long time, An Da said: "You go, be careful on the road, it doesn't matter if you lose business, it's good if people are safe, as for whether you want to join forces with Zhong Xuanlan, you can decide for yourself!" ”

An Shao nodded, and then left the study.

An Qiang saw that An Shao's family had left, so he came to An Da's family and said, "Dad, why do you have to agree to the eldest brother leaving, what if he betrays us?" ”

An Da looked at An Qiang sharply, which made An Qiang feel excited.

An Da said solemnly: "Your eldest brother will not betray the An family, if you want to say such things next time, the family law will serve." ”

An Qiang didn't care in his heart, and said with a scared face and deferentially: "Yes." ”

An Da Boss reprimanded An Qiang again for the things An Shao mentioned before he let him go.
