At the card table, Li Yu sat opposite Lu Ning, and Xiao Zhouhou was next to him.

"This leaf play is interesting, and the rules are fun!" Li Yu sorted out the cards in his hand, his interest was strong, and he couldn't see that Da Zhou had been giving him a look.

This is a tile shop in the dock area, even the guys have been cleared out, and the halls of seven or eight card tables are empty, including Lu Ning, Li Yu, Da Zhouhou, Xiao Zhouhou, Big and Small Peach and the maids of the Zhou family.

A group of guards have already guarded outside the tiles.

"Fighting the landlord, fun, fun." Li Yu threw out a playing card, "Three hearts!" ”

Li Yu and Xiao Zhouhou are both extremely smart people, Lu Ning simply said the rules, and the two will play after a while.

After the Great Zhou, she was a little helpless, and stood behind Li Yu to help him with her moves, it seems that she has also learned, but she can't sit at the card table and play leaf play with Lu Ning, a man.

If it weren't for the accident, it would be impossible to meet Lu Ning after the Great Zhou, but now that he has become a "relative", he has a lot less taboos.

Xiao Zhouhou is young, and she doesn't shy away from taboos, not to mention that she has now become Lu Ning's "daughter".

Lu Ning took out a card, took a sip of the teacup, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, what do you think of this Donghai wharf?" "Bringing Li Yu here, of course, I didn't want to teach him what kind of landlord to fight.

"There are many merchants, and there are many ships." Li Yu suddenly raised his head and grinned at Lu Ning, "Duke of the East China Sea, in front of my father, I can't help you, I can't hide it, it's too late for me to hide these things, but my father let me come to the East China Sea, but I used you as an excuse to say that I want to take a look again, the guy who shot Guo Rong did not have a hysterical attack and made a mess in the East China Sea." ”

Lu Ning smiled, he likes to deal with smart people.

"And, Duke Donghai, you are too strong, I can't suppress you, I'm not interested in the throne, what ambitions do you have, what ambitions do you want to achieve, this king's imperial uncle and brother, you can go to refuge, I can thread the needle for you, especially my imperial brother Hongyi, who is resolute and unparalleled, he just accepted you!"

After the Great Zhou behind Li Yu, when she heard Li Yu's words, her beautiful eyes darkened slightly.

Lu Ning was stunned, looked at Li Yu, and then smiled: "I said, I just want to be friends with you." ”

"If it's a friend, then what other lost guqin songs do Donghai Gong have, or music composed by yourself, can you let this king see it?"

When Li Yu said this, Da Zhouhou's beautiful eyes lit up, and he also looked at Lu Ning expectantly, but Xiao Zhouhou still had a quiet face, holding cards, as if he was pondering the gameplay of this leaf play.

Lu Ning said with a smile: "Let me tidy up and send it over to His Highness." ”

Ambush on all sides is his favorite ancient song, other tunes, although some can still hum the tune, but the whole song is a little blurry, not to mention playing and the like, you can only go back and hum the tune, let the big and small peach record the score, so that there can be some incomplete music scores, perfect and the like, it's none of your business.

"Then the king is waiting for the treasure of the Duke of the East Sea!" Li Yu's face was happy, in his eyes, this may be more important than the throne.

Lu Ning smiled and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Glancing at Xiao Zhouhou sitting beside him again, Lu Ning felt a little strange in his heart, this, Xiao Zhouhou, has really become his goddaughter? Although I saw this little girl at the time and felt very excited to make such a bet, but when it really came to this point, it couldn't help but make people feel like they didn't know what day it was.

……

Adjacent to the East Harbor Wharf area, from point to surface, it has gradually formed an entertainment and living commercial area composed of wine shops, shops, tile shops, etc., and some houses are still under construction.

In the past few days, several waves of Arab, Silla and Japanese trading ships have docked every day, and some of the able-bodied porters at the wharves have been able to find work every day, and there is already a faint momentum to make this profession a career.

However, Li Yu and Da Zhou were obviously unwilling to walk around this dirty area, so they quickly got into the carriage.

At this time, it was late, Lu Ning sent His Royal Highness King Zheng and the princess to the "Donghai Mansion Store" adjacent to the post house, which is still under construction and consists of several courtyard houses dedicated to providing accommodation services for wealthy businessmen at home and abroad, and is naturally the industry of Donghai Gong, now it happens that the first courtyard has been repaired and completed, and the new courtyard, Li Yu and Da Zhou Hou are also satisfied, after all, this is a small place, the newly completed house is not magnificent, but it is better to be clean, from the courtyard to the furniture and appliances, everything is new.

Xiao Zhou was left by her sister after that, so she naturally had something to say to her.

Lu Ning returned to the manor, called Gan and You Wuniang, and talked about accepting Situ Zhouzong's second daughter as a righteous daughter, Gan and You Wuniang had long been surprised by Lu Ning's actions, and there was nothing to be afraid of in this matter, so it would be very good.

Although it is not a daughter, just a righteous daughter, but it is also a big event in this era, Lu Ning went to tell his mother Li again, and Li didn't say much, gradually, this once extremely weak son has really become the head of the family who stands up to the pillars of the family, and in the major affairs of the family, the Li family is gradually used to listening to his son.

……

When Lu Ning came to the small courtyard where the second sister lived in the "Qinchun Garden", the second sister was in the warm pavilion, Lu Ning came in, she hurriedly put away the things on the table, and Lu Ning just smiled.

In the past few days, the manor has been flooded with pork, and there are several plates of pork jerky on the table of the second sister.

Moreover, the servants of the Closed Mansion, including the tenant farmers, were given some pork by the grace of the Duke of the East Sea.

However, of course, Lu Ning is not laughing at the second sister who likes to eat pork jerky.

The "cards" that the second sister hurriedly put away were Lu Ning's inclusion of the information of her blind date on a page of paper, and she also found a painter to copy the appearance of the blind date, which was similar to the archives of later generations.

The second sister received it quickly, Lu Ning's eyes were sharp, but she could see it clearly.

"Second sister, you wait until you pack up and then call me in!" Lu Ning laughed, the maidservant knocked on the door outside, and when she heard that she was coming, the second sister probably subconsciously opened her voice and invited herself in, but she didn't have time to put away these little secrets on the table.

Second Sister Lu's face flushed slightly, picked up the teapot, helped Lu Ning pour tea, and asked, "Is there something?" ”

Lu Ning said with a smile: "I just helped the second sister take in a little niece, come and tell the second sister." He asked again: "Second sister, do you want to enter a wealthy family?" King Zheng is here, I'll take a look back and ask him to help you find a good son-in-law? ”

Second Sister Lu didn't know who King Zheng was talking about by her younger brother, but since he was a prince, it was naturally a royal family, so she was slightly stunned, shook her head and said: "I am a remnant of flowers and willows, ......and then I saw Lu Ning laughing, and suddenly said: "You, you guy!" It's getting more and more improper! ”

Lu Ning smiled: "I don't want to marry those people, it's not that my sister can't deserve them......" What did I want to say, I thought about it, but I swallowed it back in my stomach, so as not to frighten the second sister.

pondered and said: "Second sister, or I'll help you get an idea, those people, my ancestors have investigated it clearly for three generations, how to say it, these people, who have ever spitted, have been recorded by the detailed work I sent, but those things will not be shown to you, so as not to destroy their image in your heart." Then again, how can people be perfect? Even if you are close to someone, if you are invisible, follow him for twelve hours, after a long time, I am afraid that it will be strange, is this the person I know? ”

Second Sister Lu originally listened to what Lu Ning said to help her make the decision, and she blushed and wanted to smack this younger brother, but after hearing it, she nodded slightly. "Little brother, you know so much now."

Lu Ning smiled: "The second sister agreed with me to make up my mind, just Xu Xiucai." ”

"Xiucai?" Second Sister Lu was slightly stunned.

Lu Ning smiled: "I like to call a scholar like this, Xu Xiucai, that is, Xu Shilang, Xu Wendi, although he is a little pedantic, he wants to study and become an official in the imperial examination, but he has the purest mind about you, in fact, he has a crush on the second sister for a long time, but his family is poor, and he knows that our mother will not agree to propose marriage, so he missed this marriage." ”

"And such a thing?" Second Sister Lu was stunned in her heart, and then, she was a little sweet, she was liked by a person for a long time, and even after the separation, that person still did not give up, this feeling is really very happy.

"Second sister, how is it?" Lu Ning asked.

Second Sister Lu blushed and bowed her head silently.

"Okay, then I'll be the second sister and you agree, and I'll arrange the rest!" Lu Ning got up with a smile and said, "The next day, I'll bring your little niece to show you, the cute little girl, the second sister will definitely like it." ”

Second Sister Lu was stunned, and she didn't know what Lu Ning was talking about.
