Helping Liu Qi analyze those internal and external troubles is considered a serious matter, and after the serious business is done, of course Liu Qi wants to set up a small banquet to entertain Lu Ren. In this banquet, the conversation is not anything serious...... In general, as is the custom of men, as long as there are no women present, then don't expect to hear anything serious when drinking and chatting.

For example, here's ......

"Mr. Lu, recently I heard that you stayed in Chaisang for two months?"

Lu Ren smiled and nodded, this kind of thing can't be hidden from people at all: "Yes." Originally, I planned to purchase some goods from Chaisang and set sail for Yizhou, but I never thought that I would encounter a lot of things there. Eldest son, you shouldn't suspect that I'm Jiangdong's fine work, right? ”

Liu Qi hurriedly smiled and said, "How can it? I will not suspect Mr. Lu if I suspect anyone. Don't say anything else, just say that if it weren't for Mr. Lu, you risked your life and rushed back to Xiangyang City to warn me, then where would I be able to sit here and drink with Mr. so peacefully? In addition, his father was very remorseful when he heard about the war in Jiangxia, especially after learning that Huang Zu abandoned the city and fled, and he was also very remorseful for not heeding his husband's warnings at that time. ”

Lu Ren was happy, and said in his heart that this is what I want. There is such a thing in Liu Biao's background, although he is the identity of a wealthy family in Jiangdong, there will always be no problem in running business in the Jingxiang area.

However, at this time, Liu Qi changed his words and used a very strange ...... Well, in fact, he asked Lu Ren in a very lewd/lewd tone: "Mr. Lu, how does this Xiao Qiao, one of the two Qiao in Jiangdong, feel like?" ”

Lu Ren squirted out the wine he had just drunk in his mouth with a "poof", and coughed and gasped for a long time before he said, "Why did the eldest prince ask this question?" ”

Liu Qi put on a lewd/expression that all men understand: "Those trivial things in ordinary business, where can Mr. Lu stay in Chaisang for two months?" Yes...... There are some things that you don't have to worry about, Mr. Lu. ”

Lu Ren looked at Liu Qi's "you know" expression, and knew that Liu Qi's last sentence meant to tell Lu Ren that this rumor between him and Xiao Qiao would make Liu Biao suspicious of Lu Ren. But one is that if you don't ask about this matter clearly, it will be a little unsteady. Second, under the blame of his own cheap products, he also wanted to listen to what others said about his "masterpiece", so Lu Ren said to Liu Qi with a clear pretend: "I don't hide it, I'm really worried that someone will use this matter as an excuse to think that I will do something unfavorable to Ling Zun and Jingzhou." ”

Liu Qi hurriedly shook his head again and again and said, "No, no!" Mr. Lu, you don't know, don't look at those big Confucians in Xiangyang who are pointing fingers at you this time. But in fact, up and down Jingzhou, there are many people who applaud Mr. this time. Just in terms of the following, sir, you should snatch Xiao Qiao away and take him as your own concubine! ”

When Lu Ren heard this, he almost didn't sweat. Speaking from the heart, it would be self-deception to say that Lu Ren didn't have this kind of thought. Of course, not to mention Lu Ren, this kind of thing may be a normal male creature, most of them will have this thought. But the question is, where can Zhou Yu's goods be provoked by Lu Ren at the moment? If it weren't for these concerns, why did Lu Ren take the trouble to help Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao repair their relationship in the end? Isn't it okay to just pat your ass and leave?

It may be that as soon as the head of this cheap topic comes out, Liu Qi, this kid, can't control his mouth a little. But it's no wonder that Liu Qi has just left the crisis-ridden Xiangyang not long ago. Its internal worries are temporarily extinguished; Lu Ren came over this time and brought information on the situation in Jiangdong, and the external trouble that Liu Qi was worried about had not been seen in three years, which made Liu Qi, who had always been in a frightening environment, greatly relieved. Now that I have drunk a little wine in a happy mood, it is normal for people to be a little unable to control their mouths:

"Mr. Lu, you also know that the Sun family has always had an enmity with me Jingxiang, especially after Sun Ce swept Jiangdong, there were many provocations against our Jingxiang Nine Counties. Among the generals in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu is the pillar of the leader. The matter of provocation and aggression against my Jingxiang is also his favorite, so there are many people in Jingxiang who have a grudge against Zhou Yu in their hearts.

What's even more infuriating is that this Zhou Yu is pretentious and elegant. is also young and ambitious, often saying that he and Sun Ce married the famous Jiangdong Er Qiao, which is a perfect match for heroes and beauties, and it is enough to make everyone in the world envy. Hmph, he thinks too highly of himself! If you want me to say it, it's a pity that Mr. Lu didn't snatch Xiao Qiao away this time, which completely disgraced Zhou Yu. But it doesn't matter. After all, Mr. Lu, you slapped Zhou Yu a few times this time, which made people feel relieved when they heard it! ”

Lu Ren heard that he was able to hold his forehead with his hand, and said in his heart, who are these people? But slander is slander, and Lu Renzhi is not unable to understand what Liu Qi said about the thoughts of these people. How so? This kind of thing is like in modern online games, a large group of people leveling up and playing treasure PK bubble girls can't compare to a certain master. Especially when I was bullied by his PK, treasure robbery, and sister paper, I would curse this master in my heart to be taught a hard lesson by other masters, and it was best to make it violent. even ran into the number washing dog, not to mention washing it cleanly, and even deleted the account characters.

And at this moment, Lu Ren, for Jing Xiang's gang, is undoubtedly playing a character who put Zhou Yu down, made Zhou Yu violent, and whitewashed Zhou Yu's number...... In fact, to put it bluntly, Lu Ren helped those people out of breath, and slapped Zhou Yu's face hard, which made those people feel relieved.

And then consider the consequences of this...... Zhou Yu's side should be considered a reconciliation, I believe that as long as Lu Ren doesn't provoke Zhou Yu anymore, runs a business and says hello again, it's okay to meet each other and nod, and for Jing Xiang's side, maybe, or when dealing with those people, he can get a little closer to the other party? But to be honest, Lu Renke knew very well that this not-so-good reputation would have a bad impact on him.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren was reluctant to talk to Liu Qi about this kind of thing, and besides, the purpose of his trip to Jiangxia was not to talk nonsense with Liu Qi, so he quickly opened the topic and said: "Eldest Prince, where are the hundreds of clan children who I asked Zhang Fang to send to Jiangxia here before, and asked the eldest prince to take care of them for the time being?" ”

It's okay not to say it, but when he said this, Liu Qi's face became a little ugly: "Mr. Lu is talking about those people from the Zhen family in Zhongshan?" Mr. Lu. Don't blame me for being troublesome, how did you get involved with those people? ”

Lu Ren also said the truth: "I can't hide it, when I was in Xudu, I had some business dealings with the Zhen family in Zhongshan. But this is still secondary, mainly because my second brother Lu Cheng and Lu Ziliang are actually Mr. Zhen's...... Yes. Ziliang: He is actually the concubine left by Mr. Zhen. So in this way, I and Zhongshan Zhen can be regarded as a good family. ”

At that time, it was very common for rich and powerful people to marry a few concubines and give birth to a few concubines, like Yuan Shao, who was actually just a concubine, in Yuan Shu's words, "the wild seed of our slaves", so although Lu Ren's words were very tactful at this moment, Liu Qi could guess what was going on.

After listening to Lu Ren's words, Liu Qi frowned, with a bit of obvious displeasure in his tone: "Zhongshan Zhen can also be called a famous family. I've heard a little bit about Mr. Zhen. If you want me to say, although I have never seen Mr. Zhen, I don't know what kind of person he is, but the old lady of the Zhen family ...... Hehe, no wonder Mr. Zhen would take a concubine outside. ”

Lu Ren couldn't help but shake his head. For this old lady of the Zhen family, Lu Ren initially only saw the sentence "strict sex" in historical materials, and the rest was not reflected, after all, there was no need to deal with anything. So I didn't bother to ask. But later, as things developed, Lu Ren's brain moved to the head of the Zhen clan. I have to start paying attention to this old lady Zhen.

Not long ago, when the Zhen clan first arrived in Jingzhou, Lu Ren was in Chaisang, and he asked Zhang Fang to pick up the gang of people. According to Zhang Fang's report, as soon as Mrs. Zhen saw Zhang Fang, she was scolded, which made Zhang Fang, who was born in the army, almost get angry, and then Lu Ren knew that Mrs. Zhen's character was probably a typical stone in a thatched pit, smelly and hard. Then I was in contact with the Zhen sisters. Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi repeatedly mentioned to Lu Ren that his mother's personality was really stinky, and they hoped that Lu Ren would be able to bear with him when he met with Mrs. Zhen.

Lu Ren didn't have anything else to say about this, after all, it was indeed he who abducted the two daughters of others. Thinking about the original historical process, if he hadn't intervened in it, Zhen Mi would have been snatched back by Cao Pi to be his wife later. Even the Zhen clan has become Cao Cao's children's family, so it's not a pediatric matter to mix up a rich family?

And now that the Zhen family has fled to Jingzhou, Lu Ren feels that he has some responsibility no matter what he says, so he feels a little guilty in his heart, and it is reasonable to let Mrs. Zhen a little ...... Of course, the most important one is that Lu Ren now needs the Zhen clan who are proficient in the copper and iron industry to enrich the industrial chain in Yizhou. After all, in any era, the prosperity of the metallurgical industry often directly affects the development index in all aspects.

When he thought of this, Lu Ren subconsciously shook his head, and a slightly weird wry smile involuntarily appeared on his face, because the path to wealth that the Zhen clan was supposed to have was lost by himself, and this kind of thing can't be said.

But Liu Qi on the other side was wrong when he saw this weird wry smile on Lu Ren's face, and when he saw that there was no one near him on the left and right, Liu Qi came to Lu Ren's approach, and the expression on his face could be described with the word "cheap": "Mr. Lu, are the eldest daughter and daughter of the Zhen family really in your Yizhou village?" (To be continued.) )

PS: (It's been updated for several days.,Some people will say that the bottle wants to practice the XX treasure book again...... Not really! On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the bottle's uncle passed away at the age of eighty-two, and then he has been running his uncle's white affairs for the past few days. The most fatal thing is that my uncle is a person from Maqiuluo's family outside Nanchang City, and he will be buried back to the countryside after his death, so the bottle has been living in the countryside for the past few days.

According to the custom in Nanchang, from the first day of death, the deceased will be "out of the water" on the third day...... It is to wipe the body of the deceased clean and put it into the coffin. And this day happened to be the Lantern Festival, which made the bottle a little speechless.

On the fourth day, he was sent to the hearse for cremation. Then, because my uncle was going to be buried in his hometown in the countryside, he was not officially put into the soil until the fifth day, that is, yesterday. The bottle was home until yesterday evening. After tossing and turning like this for a few days, the bottle was physically and mentally exhausted. Originally, I wanted to update the code word last night, but I really couldn't lift the slightest spirit.

I woke up at four o'clock in the morning, looked at the date of February 25th, and then thought about the past few days of the break, as well as the number of updates so far in February, and the bottle wanted to die. But the New Year is over.,Things should be nothing.,After the bottle was sorted out, I began to use the code words carefully.。 In any case, there can be no more mistakes in March. And in the past few days, I also hope that friends who are still reading this broken book can be considerate and understanding. Thank you! ）
