Not long after Lu Jing returned to the mansion, Lu Zheng came to report: "Master, this is a letter sent from Jinling today!" ”

After Lu Jing opened the letter, he carefully browsed it, and it turned out that Jinling's aunt was going to take Li Wen and Li Qi into Beijing, one to visit herself, and the other was to visit Li Kun on behalf of the Li family, but the specific time of arrival in Beijing was not determined, only said that it should be in late September or early October.

Lu Jing put away the letter and explained the matter to Lu Zheng: "In a few days, you will send someone to the dock and pay attention to the ships coming from Jinling!" ”

If things don't change, the Xue brothers and sisters, Wang Ren, and Xing Yuyan's family will meet Li Wen and Li Qi on the road, and then go to Beijing to live in Jia's house together, but now that they are in the capital, they naturally can't let the Li family's mother and daughter live in Jia's house anymore.

Lu Zheng hurriedly nodded in response to the matter, and talked about the information in the past few days.

After hearing this, Lu Jing asked, "What news can Jia Yun send from there these days?" ”

Lu Zheng replied: "It's all about him helping the Xue family sell treasury bonds, but he mentioned something last month, and the Xue family asked him to inquire about the situation of the girl of the Xia family in Beijing." ”

"Miss of the Xia family?" Lu Jing frowned and asked, "But Xia Jingui?" ”

Lu Zheng nodded and said: "Exactly, the villain has already asked people to inquire, it is the Xia family who intends to marry the Xue family, and the Xue family is a little reluctant, but Xue Pan often wanders around the Xia family, so he should have taken a fancy to the Xia family girl." ”

Lu Jing couldn't help but smile on his face after hearing this, he didn't expect Xue Pan and Xia Jingui to hook up so quickly.

Xia Jingui has a fierce personality and is arrogant, but he thinks very highly of himself, loves himself like a bodhisattva, and peeps at others like dung. often compares herself to Chang'e and names her maid Bao Toad.

Although he has the appearance of flowers and willows on the outside, he is actually the nature of wind and thunder on the inside. When he was at home, he often made sex with the maids, scolded and beat him lightly. If Xue Panzhen marries Xia Jingui, then the Xue family will not want to be peaceful in the future.

Lu Jing thought about it and decided to inform Xue Baochai of Xia Jingui's temperament, as for whether he could stop this marriage, it depended on Xue Baochai's own ability.

After asking Lu Zheng some more things, Lu Jing took the letter and found Daiyu in the west corridor.

Lin Daiyu was under the corridor, teaching the parrot to recite poems, and when she saw Lu Jing, she first asked the parrot she trained to read the first hairpin to Lu Jing, and then asked with a smile: "Husband, do we need to buy some treasury bonds?" ”

Lu Jing picked up the dried fruit in Daiyu's hand, and while feeding the parrot, he said, "Naturally, I want to buy some, why does Madame care about this?" ”

Daiyu said with a smile: "Today, Grandma Xu brought Sister Lan to be a guest, and when I talked about it during the chat, I thought that everyone else had bought it, and I'm afraid we would be no exception." ”

After hearing this, Lu Jing asked, "Madame, how much do you think we should buy?" ”

Daiyu asked Zijuan to hang the parrot elsewhere, and then said: "The concubine inquired with Grandma Xu, according to the grade of her husband, one thousand taels is the most suitable, and Daddy has to buy at least ten thousand taels!" ”

"Then according to Madame's words, I will buy some back tomorrow." Lu Jing said with a smile, then handed the letter to Daiyu and said, "Aunt Jinling wrote a letter saying that she would bring her two cousins to Beijing, and you should prepare a place for them to live in advance!" ”

After reading the letter quickly, Lin Daiyu asked, "Auntie, do they want to live for a long time, or will they go back to Jinling after a while?" ”

"Should stay for a long time!" Lu Jing thought about it and said, after the Zhen family was raided in the original book, they still lived in the Jia family, and the Jia family also served as a matchmaker to marry Li Wenxu to Zhen Baoyu, and they wanted to live for a few years.

Daiyu pondered for a moment and said, "Then the concubine will clean up the West Cross Courtyard and give it to her aunt and her to live in." ”

Lu Jing nodded and said, "That's fine, the West Cross Courtyard has a separate small courtyard, which is just right for their family." ”

Daiyu thought for a while and asked carefully: "How many people will they bring with their aunt when the time comes, should we equip the next person, and do we have to arrange the money?" ”

Lu Jing shook his head and smiled: "I don't know now, but there is no need to worry about these things, it's not too late to decide when my aunt and they arrive!" ”

Although Daiyu responded in her mouth, she still decided to be prepared first, and it would be rude to save the time.

After saying this, Daiyu put away the letter and continued: "Today, Sister Tanchun asked someone to send a letter, saying that they were going to organize a poetry meeting in Daguan Garden, and invited me to come over, I thought about it and excused myself! ”

"It's okay to excuse yourself, when the two cousins of the Li family arrive, you don't need to invite others, you can have a poetry meeting!" Lu Jing comforted, thinking to himself in his heart, without Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, presumably the Begonia Poetry Society in Spring would not be able to be completed.

On the second day, Lu Jing came to the Zhaoxin Bureau and bought 5,000 taels of silver treasury bonds, and after completing the formalities, he was about to inquire about yesterday's sales, when suddenly a small official came to report that someone had sued several businessmen and the Zhaoxin Bureau in court, accusing them of forcing others to buy treasury bonds and forcing people to die.

Lu Jing's heart sank, and he felt that this matter was extraordinary, so he hurriedly rushed to Shuntian Mansion to understand the specific situation.

"My lord, the villain was wronged, it was the man who took the initiative to find us to buy treasury bonds, and yesterday we said it was good, and agreed to sign the contract today, which Cheng thought that he would die inexplicably today, and sued the villain!" Gong Qu defended with a panicked face.

"How did you meet?" Lu Jing asked with a solemn expression, just now he had already asked the other four people, and the words of several people were basically the same, they had a good conversation yesterday, but today they were inexplicably sued in court, and Gong Qu was the first person to contact the deceased Yan Shangyou.

Gong Qu hurriedly said the situation of the acquaintance between the two: "The villain and he met in Tianxiangyuan, on the fifth day of the new year, after the villain completed a single, he invited someone to drink in Tianxiangyuan, and the man heard our conversation, so he came to talk, the villain saw that he was interested in the national debt, and he has been persuading him for the past few days, and finally negotiated it yesterday, who knew that such a thing happened, the villain really did not force him to buy, and even the villain said that he could sign a repurchase agreement, but he was not willing!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Jing basically concluded that what these people said was true, they should have fallen into the trap arranged by others in advance, this matter may be framed by competitors, or it may be that someone wants to use this matter to sabotage the issuance of treasury bonds, and the timing is very appropriate, now is the critical period of treasury bond issuance, if this matter is exposed, the selection of imperial businessmen and the issuance of treasury bonds will be affected.

"Who have you offended these days?" Lu Jing continued to ask.

After hearing this, Gong Qu didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "On August 26, the villain snatched a list of 10,000 taels from Li Jiheng, and on the third day of the ninth lunar month, the villain recruited one person to enter the villain's company, and that person was originally going to join Xiao Chengrong's company......"

Lu Jing wrote down the people Gong Qu offended one by one, and was about to recruit those people to find out the truth, so Zhou Kun sent someone over and asked him to rush back to the Zhaoxin Bureau immediately.

Lu Jing suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, I was afraid that Zhou Kun had encountered a more tricky situation over there, so he hurriedly detained Gong Qu and a few people temporarily, and rushed back to the Zhaoxin Bureau non-stop.
