Chapter 204: Night Talk in the Study
As the days passed, the bright moon disappeared from time to time, the shadows of the deep eaves of the sorghum were sufficient, and the cold wind blew through the shadows of the trees, revealing the fluorescent candlelight in the depths of the courtyard.
Daiyu personally came to the inner study with a cup of ginseng tea, saw that her husband was in a daze with a silver ticket, and after handing the ginseng tea to Lu Jing, she leaned over to watch, and asked with some curiosity: "Why is there no amount on it?" ”
"This was given to me by a merchant today, and madam, guess what his intentions are?" Lu Jing smiled, and then looked at Daiyu while sipping tea.
Daiyu picked up the silver ticket and looked at it carefully for a while, seeing that except for the lack of amount, it was no different from other silver tickets, and said while thinking: "Does he want to bribe his husband, but there is no amount on it, does he want his husband to fill in the amount himself?" ”
Lu Jing nodded with a smile, put down the teacup, and praised: "Madame is really smart and smart, in a word!" ”
After hearing this, Daiyu showed a sweet smile on her face, the corners of her mouth rose like a curved crescent, she happily sat next to Lu Jing, and said with great interest: "This businessman is shrewd, he can think of such a gift!" ”
Lu Jing shook his head and smiled: "Whether he is wise or not also varies from person to person, mainly depends on what kind of person he is sending!" ”
Daiyu thought for a while and smiled: "What the husband said is the same, if you are a fool, I am afraid that you will think that this businessman is teasing herself, or simply throw it away as waste paper!" ”
"Hehe, I won't throw it, but it's possible to cause misunderstanding!" Lu Jing nodded.
After hearing this, Daiyu smiled coquettishly and said, "But if you give a gift to an unfamiliar person, this method is excellent!" ”
Lu Jing understood what Daiyu meant, and praised: "Madame is really clever and intelligent, and can draw inferences from one another, if you encounter a Qing official to investigate, it can be said that what you sent is just a piece of waste paper, and if it is a corrupt official, you can get in touch with it closely." ”
When Daiyu heard the compliment, she smiled even more and asked, "How does the husband plan to deal with this matter?" ”
Lu Jing thought for a moment and asked, "How much does Madam think I should write?" ”
Daiyu was shocked, but when she saw the joke in her husband's eyes, she also laughed: "He is also smart but is mistaken by cleverness, so my husband might as well write 50 million taels of silver, I will see if he can take it out." ”
"Hahahaha, Madame is amazing!" Lu Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "If this silver ticket is really delivered to Mrs., it can only be considered unlucky for him." ”
Daiyu was a little proud at first, but when she saw the playful smile in her husband's eyes, she suddenly realized something, and immediately said with a slight annoyance: "Okay, it turns out that you are laughing at me!" ”
"No, it's not a joke about you!" Lu Jing waved his hand and laughed heartily.
Daiyu frowned, and snorted: "It's clear, what did you say about the concubine body that made her laugh like this?" ”
Lu Jing laughed for a while, and then explained solemnly: "This piece of paper is not given away easily, if you give this piece of paper, it means that you want to give all your family business." ”
Daiyu thought about it carefully, no wonder her husband laughed, it turned out that she made a joke, and then she felt a little emotional, not only there are many twists and turns in the officialdom, but there are also many shopping malls, and only the husband can understand it with such a clear and exquisite mind.
At the same time, I was also a little curious about who wanted to take refuge in my family, thinking that my husband was laughing at me just now, so I teased: "Who is so poor in vision that he wants to take refuge in his husband?" ”
Lu Jing saw that Daiyu looked very cute, so he teased her: "Turning to me shows that he has a vision, how to say that I will also be a famous figure in the future." ”
"The husband is so ashamed, he brags about himself so much, and the concubine is ashamed of you!" Daiyu seized the opportunity and quipped.
Lu Jing didn't care, looked at Daiyu and smiled confidently: "Of course, who let me have a good lady, when you become a generation of talented women, I, the husband of a talented woman, can follow the celebrities through the ages if I don't save them!" ”
Daiyu heard that her husband was making fun of herself again, and knew that she had fallen into a trap, so she suddenly stopped following and threw herself into Lu Jing's arms to make trouble.
Lu Jing took advantage of the situation to hug Daiyu horizontally in front of him, bowing his head and grabbing her cherry lips.
Daiyu was subdued before she could get out of her anger, and immediately writhed and struggled, but it didn't take long for her to immerse herself in it and take the initiative to respond.
After a while, Daiyu came back to her senses, and took advantage of Lu Jing's unpreparedness to fight back, Lu Jing hurriedly grabbed Daiyu's hands, and the two fought, and for a while the room was filled with the laughter of the two and Daiyu's coquettish begging for mercy.
After the two played for a while, Daiyu sorted out her somewhat messy hair and clothes, her delicate eyes were horizontal, and she said angrily: "Husband, don't make trouble, tell the concubine who this person is?" ”
Seeing this, Lu Jing put away his joking attitude and said seriously: "This person's name is Zhang Chengxin, he is a wealthy businessman in Shanxi, and their Zhang family is a huge rich man in the whole Shanxi, but they are much richer than us!" ”
Daiyu's expression was a little solemn after hearing this, and she asked, "How does the husband plan to deal with this matter?" ”
Lu Jing didn't answer, but picked up the silver ticket and asked, "Madame, do you know why he gave me this thing?" ”
Daiyu shook her head, there were some doubts in her eyes, her husband had not been in the court for a long time, and his official position was not high, wouldn't it be more beneficial to take refuge in a more powerful one.
Lu Jing saw Daiyu's thoughts and explained: "A businessman is the person who is the best at investing in business, if he chooses a noble minister in the court, not to mention that others may not look down on him, even if he is accepted, he is just an inconsequential chess piece, and he is allowed to be taken by others." ”
"And he chose me just to invest in my future, thinking that I am very likely to become an important minister of the court in the future, so that as a companion who supports each other all the way, his status will also rise in the future."
Speaking of this, Lu Jing smiled, shook his head and said: "But he underestimates me too much, for me, his current refuge is meaningless, Zhang Jiayuan is in Shanxi, he can only provide a little money, and it has no meaning to me, but it is a drag, and my current power does not have much effect on them, all of them are not so much refuge, but a tentative investment." ”
Daiyu nodded thoughtfully and said, "What does that husband mean?" ”
Lu Jing said without hesitation: "Naturally, I refused, but I won't refuse completely, when I can control the Zhang family, I will ambush them!" ”
Daiyu nodded with a complicated expression, from her husband's words, she felt her husband's self-confidence, and also realized that her husband's ambition was very high, thinking of this, she secretly decided in her heart that she wanted to learn more things and help her husband in the future.
Lu Jing noticed that Daiyu's expression was different, so he hugged her and said, "Yu'er don't worry, I will make up my mind and then act." ”
Daiyu leaned on Lu Jing's chest, her heart instantly settled down, and then she thought of something, so she said: "Today, Miss Xue personally came to the post and invited us to go to Jia's house for a banquet tomorrow!" ”
"What kind of banquet is the Xue family holding at the Jia family?" Lu Jing asked, although he had already known about Xue Baochai's visit from Lu Zheng's mouth, he had never asked Daiyu.
Daiyu smiled after hearing this: "It was said that a while ago, her mother said that she would invite the old lady to appreciate the osmanthus and eat crabs, and it happened that her family guys sent a lot of fat crabs, so they simply held a banquet and invited relatives to gather, and said that the old lady always mentioned me, so she came to invite us, so she lived up to the love of acquaintance!" ”
"However, she intentionally or unintentionally said that their family was elected as an imperial businessman, and she is one of the few old imperial merchants who retains the status of the imperial businessman, I think she is clearly here to show off to the concubine, blame me for not helping her last time and letting her see her husband."
Lu Jing stiffened when he heard this, he had seen Baochai many times in private, and he also hid a handkerchief, he felt a little ashamed in his heart, and stroked Daiyu's hair and said, "Since this is the case, let's refuse." ”
After hearing this, Daiyu said with a light smile in her eyes: "The concubine originally wanted to refuse to come, but there was her husband's name on the post, so the concubine asked her husband what he meant!" ”
Lu Jing laughed and said, "What Madame means is what I mean!" ”
Daiyu smiled even more happily after hearing this, and said coquettishly: "I guess my husband will say so." ”
"Madame has guessed my mind thoroughly!" Lu Jing said with a smile.
Dai Yuyan smiled, glanced at Lu Jing and said, "You will say these words to make me happy, I have heard it several times, so I will naturally remember it." ”
"Since Madame remembers, then I won't talk about it in the future!" Lu Jing smiled, then thought about it and said, "Madame doesn't have to take her words to heart, let's live our own little life!" ”
Daiyu smiled and said, "The concubine is not a stingy person, and she can't be angry with irrelevant people. ”
The two talked again, and Lu Jing went back to the room with Daiyu to rest.
The carved curtain and green gauze tent are nestled on the pillows.
Yingying's veins followed Fangxie, and Xiaoguang crossed obliquely to the jade hall.
