The atmosphere in the whole hall was a little depressing, and the candle lights that were about to burn out only emitted a faint light, which seemed to only illuminate Zhang Yingtai's calculating face.

But the silence was extremely quiet, so quiet that Lu Yuan seemed to have heard the eerie laughter from the Zhang family.

Only the deaf and dazzling old lady Tang Wang didn't seem to notice, and when she saw Lu Yuan standing in front of her and didn't respond to her for a long time, she became a little annoyed, and her tone was as cold as the cold wind of winter, which pierced people's eardrums.

"What, you don't want to?!"

Lu Yuan raised his head, looked directly at the old eyes of Tang Wang's sword, and only replied:

As my mother said, this is naturally a good thing, but unfortunately, a few days ago, the son-in-law had signed a deed with the Zheng family in Fujian, promising to give priority to the Zheng family to supply 100,000 horses of spring breeze cloth, otherwise he would have to compensate three times the price of the spring breeze cloth! The deadline is three years, and the Xiaozi Weaving Workshop produces only 3,000 pieces of spring breeze cloth per month, and it will take nearly three years to supply enough of these 100,000 spring breeze cloths, and it will not be able to supply a large number of other merchants in three years. ”

Here, Lu Yuan naturally did not tell the number of spring breeze cloth ordered by the Zheng family and the real output of his Lu family's weaving workshop, but exaggerated the number ordered by the Zheng family and said that the output of his own weaving workshop was small, just to let Tang Wang's family know that it was impossible for him to give Zhang Jiabu now.

"Of course, if the uncle also wants to order the spring breeze cloth, the son-in-law naturally can't help but agree, but he has to wait for the son-in-law to return the Zheng family's business, but the compensation of more than 100,000 taels of silver, the son-in-law really can't take it, but when the time comes, let the son-in-law give up this face and kowtow to the Zheng family's son and beg for mercy."

After Lu Yuan said it, he arched his hand and said, "Son-in-law, I'm going to make an appointment with the Zheng family and say goodbye!" ”

"Wait!"

A voice mixed with unwillingness and resentment sounded on Lu Yuan's left.

Lu Yuan looked up and saw that it was Zhang Yingtai.

Zhang Yingtai stood up directly and said to Tang Wang's family: "Old lady, the good son-in-law you chose, but you also know that the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, hmph, you directly used the Zheng family to press us, it seems that your good son-in-law did not take my uncle in his eyes and say goodbye!" We don't do this spring breeze cloth business, who is rare! ”

Zhang Yingtai walked up to Lu Yuan as he spoke, snorted, and then threw his sleeves away.

Zhang Yingtai was naturally pretentious in doing this, and when he heard Lu Yuan say that he wanted to discuss with the Zheng family, he knew that it was impossible to get the Lu family's spring breeze cloth, after all, he couldn't afford to provoke the Zheng family, even if he forced Lu Yuan to agree to himself, he couldn't force the Zheng family to give in, of course, even so, he would not show cowardice in front of Lu Yuan.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled in his heart and said secretly: "You know how to act, can't I act?" ”

Saying that, Lu Yuan also pretended to be aggrieved and wanted to pull Zhang Yingtai's sleeve: "Uncle stayed, the son-in-law did not refuse, the son-in-law just explained the actual situation, if the uncle really can't bear to let the Lu family anger the Zheng family and be retaliated by the Zheng family, and make the Lu family bankrupt, the son-in-law will offend the king of heaven and Laozi will only give the spring breeze cloth to you, uncle!" ”

"Get out of here!"

Zhang Yingtai knew that the Tang Wang clan didn't have a good impression of Lu Yuan in his heart, and he didn't actually look down on Lu Yuan himself, and today he just wanted to unite the Tang Wang clan with the qualifications of relatives and elders to force Lu Yuan to give him the priority ordering right of the spring breeze cloth to his Zhang family, and now seeing that Lu Yuan was sharp in his words, he simply shouted angrily, didn't give Lu Yuan any face, and just threw his sleeves away.

Zhang Wangshi was also very angry when he saw that his family's conspiracy had not been achieved, and got up and said to Tang Wang's family: "Sister, your son-in-law is so steely, but since he has said this, what do we dare to ask for, is it possible that we really want his Lu family to live, please forgive my sister for being rude, I will leave first, my sister really has no shame to see your son-in-law, after all, I almost became a bankrupt person who caused his Lu family!" ”

"Isn't your Zhang family just greedy for the profits of my Lu family, and want to eat out of the house, don't you wish that my Lu family would go bankrupt, obviously I was afraid of being retaliated by the Zheng family, so I didn't dare to ask myself to supply the spring breeze cloth to your Zhang family, pretending to be wronged!"

Lu Yuan secretly scolded himself, and he was still busy pulling Zhang Wang's family aggrievedly: "Auntie, you listen to the son-in-law, the son-in-law never means this!" I don't dare to blame you. ”

"Lu Yuan, why bother pretending!"

Zhang Wang said that he was angry and wanted to leave, only looking back at Zhang Heng.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng also walked up to Tang Wang's family angrily: "Auntie, look at it, this Lu Yuan is bullying us with the people of the Zheng family, he is a villain, can you rest assured that he will marry his cousin?!" ”

"Enough!"

Tang Wang suddenly yelled and slapped the table.

Zhang Wang and Zhang Heng were so frightened that they didn't dare to move again.

Zhang Yingtai, who had just walked to the door, couldn't help but stop, his sister-in-law's husband is the director of the Literature and Anthology Department of the Ministry of Officials, and he is a student of Liu Yuliang, a cabinet minister.

"Sister, Heng'er, did you already know that his Lu family and the Zheng family had cooperation, or such a big cooperation?"

Tang Wang's family asked coldly, although she didn't like Lu Yuan, she didn't want the Lu family to really go bankrupt, after all, her daughter was going to marry into the Lu family, and this old lady of the Tang Mansion weighed it clearly.

Therefore, she also listened to what Lu Yuan said just now, and she also saw that something was wrong.

Zhang Heng was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Yingtai didn't dare to come back.

Only Zhang Wang smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sister, listen to me, we don't know this very well, and we only know it when we hear Lu Yuan talk about it today, besides, we just heard that the Zheng family and Lu Yuan have already made a deal, don't we just give up, but we are angry for a while, so we feel wronged." ”

This Zhang Wang really wiped away tears when he said: "It doesn't matter if Heng'er can't marry a baby, we still want to deepen the relationship with the Lu family for the sake of you and the baby, after all, everyone is in Linqing City, and it's better to be harmonious than to be enemies, but I thought that good intentions have done bad things now, woo." ”

Tang Wangshi saw that his sister was still quite knowledgeable, and what she said also reached his heart, so he only sighed: "Anyway, it's not the family of the official eunuch, and he is so anxious and white-faced at the slightest change, even if he Lu Yuan can't do anything, he is now your niece and son-in-law, and he must have a loving heart." ”

"Hey!"

Zhang Wang agreed and sat back.

Zhang Heng was also not easy to walk, and he stood behind his mother again.

Zhang Yingtai didn't want to come back, now that he was annoyed when he saw Lu Yuan, he felt that he had been slapped in the face, as if he couldn't eat a pot of meat, but he couldn't leave for a while, after all, the old lady of the Tang Mansion was angry just now.

"Is my uncle still angry with his son-in-law and refuses to come back and sit?"

As soon as Lu Yuan asked, Tang Wang's face darkened, and she couldn't see that her relatives and friends were not open-minded.

Zhang Wang's family naturally knew his sister best, and said with a busy smile: "How can your uncle be angry with you, he has always been angry, he must feel that it is cool outside, and he will let him in if he is cool outside." ”

After a while, Zhang Wangshi really pulled Zhang Yingtai in.

And Lu Yuan just smiled slightly when he saw this, looking at Zhang Yingtai's embarrassed look, he suddenly felt very interesting.

Lu Yuan saw that Zhang Heng was also glaring at him angrily, and simply wanted to be angry with this Zhang Heng, so he said to Tang Wang's family: "Mother, since the son-in-law is here, I want to meet Tang Ying and talk for a while." ”

Lu Yuan and Tang Ying were only one salute away, so naturally they didn't have to avoid anything, so Tang Wang also nodded.

"I also want to go see my cousin", Zhang Heng also hurriedly followed at this time.

Tang Wang's face darkened.

Zhang Wang was so frightened that he had to hold his son and scolded: "What are you going to do, your cousin is now her husband's person, for the sake of your cousin's reputation, you are not allowed to approach your cousin including all your cousin's maidservants in the future!" Otherwise, I can't spare you for my mother, ignorant guy! ”

Tang Wang's family didn't say anything more when she heard her sister reprimand Zhang Heng like this, but she was also a little cold to Zhang Heng, she didn't like people who had an adverse effect on her daughter.

Zhang Heng noticed the change in his aunt's attitude towards him, and when he saw Lu Yuan who had gone to the inner courtyard, his heart was extremely angry! But there is nothing to be done!
