"Well, yes, yes, it's still your kid who makes sense." Xie Yan held water in his mouth and stopped talking, but his eyes changed when he looked at Lu Zhi.

In the past, Scholar Xie only paid attention to Lu Li and ignored Lu Zhiai, but now it is different, he looks at Lu Zhi as if he is looking at a treasure.

Suddenly remembering something, Xie Yan swallowed the water in his mouth again, swallowing too quickly and choking, "Ahem, as far as the old man knows, your kid doesn't seem to be married yet, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that the old man only has a baby granddaughter." ”

"Why don't you Lu family know if you're not in a hurry?" Xie Yan said this to Lu Jian, but unfortunately Lu Jian was offline and did not respond.

The corners of Lu Zhi's mouth twitched, and he had already expected what Scholar Xie would say next.

Sure enough, Xie Yan licked his mouth and paused slightly, then pulled Lu Zhi's arm, "Then who seems to have a good little girl, you are also the right age, you wait for me to think about it!" ”

Lv Zhi: "......"

Well, these old men and old ladies, no matter how high or low their status, why do they like to introduce others so much?

…………

Xie Yan started, and the other ministers were not polite, and they gathered around one by one, observing and observing, tasting and tasting, which was very lively, but it squeezed Lu Zhi aside.

Lu Zhi scratched his head, as if I was the protagonist, you guys can't do this, right?

After complaining a few words in his heart, Lu Zhi began to eavesdrop on their conversation, he was waiting, waiting for the Yan family to make a move.

"Good salt, good salt of the first class indeed."

"Well, I don't think it's the same as Yan's tribute salt."

"Then you're wrong, Yan's tribute salt is much better than this." The one who spoke was a salt official who was subordinate to the household department, and if his grade was not enough, he usually had no right to go to court.

But today it's not Lu Zhi who offers salt, he is in charge of salt, so he came.

The imperial court has already planned this kind of thing, and the province has to find it when it wants to hire people, which can be regarded as a rainy day.

"Hey, you're a liar, it's not like we haven't seen tribute salt."

"That is, the king gave me some a few days ago, and they provided it at home, and it is clearly not as good as this." This is the official who just said that the salt of the Yan family is not the same as the salt offered by Lu Zhi.

Just now he said that he didn't want to offend the Yan family and saved face, but now he was refuted by someone who was obviously from the Yan family, so he simply told the truth.

"Don't believe it, I have the best Yan tribute salt here, you wait for me to take it out and show you!" The voice of the salt official was very loud, and it attracted many officials at once.

Everyone gathered around the cart, and Lu Zhi naturally heard the words of the salt official, and hurried up to watch the excitement.

Yan Guan smiled and pulled the pendant around his neck, which was a small bamboo tube, just like the kind of small bamboo tube that holds tea, but it was thinner than that and smaller than that, and it was the thickness of the thumb, and the length was about the same, and it was inconspicuous on the neck.

Lu Zhi's curiosity was aroused, and the other officials were similar, a group of people surrounded the salt official in the middle, pointing and whispering, all waiting for the salt official to uncover the mystery.

"Lu Zhigongzi." Yan Guan looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and finally directly named Lu Zhi's name.

Lu Zhi spread his hands and moved forward very cooperatively, and now there were two people in the small circle surrounded by officials.

On the scene, it changed from a standout to a two-person duel.

"Lu Zhigongzi, you are a salt maker, do you know what kind of salt can be called high-grade?"

The salt official spoke so politely, and Lu Zhi was embarrassed to speak ill of him, "Naturally, I know." ”

Yan Guan nodded, "It's hard to think about it, Lu Zhigongzi, so what is the basis for the division?" ”

"The purer the salt, the better, and the more delicate the particles, the better." Lu Zhi explained, afraid that the people who eat melons would not understand, and he deliberately changed it to 'human words', "The whiter and finer the better." ”

"That's right!" The salt official clapped his hands and applauded Lu Zhi's speech, "Then may I ask Lu Zhigongzi, is the salt you offered the best quality?" ”

"Nature is the best grade." Lu Zhi replied without thinking, and the officials around him also nodded violently, top-grade, absolutely top-grade.

"Hehe, good!" Yan Guan sneered, took out his small bamboo tube, first flicked the lid of the small bamboo tube, and then carefully unscrewed it, "Lu Zhigongzi is an expert, so let's palm my eyes." ”

Lu Zhi wanted to take it and take a look, but the salt official was not allowed, holding a small bamboo tube, as if he was holding some treasure, "I can only show it to you." ”

"Look at your darling." Lu Zhi pursed his lips, "It's so stingy." ”

The surrounding officials also have the same idea, how can there be a reason to find someone's palm but not take things out.

The salt official was not embarrassed at all, "What Lu Zhigongzi said is right, this is really a treasure, I don't know if the best salt is considered a treasure?" ”

"The best?" This is better than the top grade, the onlookers are all people who know how to enjoy, if there is the best, then naturally want to see.

Then there is no need for Lu Zhi's palm, the big guys know the basis for division, and they can tell the difference.

"It's fine and white, like winter snow."

"That's right, this is indeed better than the salt offered by Lu Zhigongzi, it can be called the best."

Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't even look carefully before blowing, they are all the nurseries of the Yan family, right?

But it's okay, you're the one who is waiting!

The small bamboo tube Lu Zhi looked at it, compared to the coarse salt he dried, the salt official in his hand can definitely be called fine salt, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best.

It is not surprising that the Yan family has fine salt Lu Zhi, they made a fortune by boiling salt, although this method is backward, but it has both the rudiments of salt making and coarse salt purification, and it is not surprising that they are lucky to get some fine salt.

"In this way, the Yan family is still the best at salt making!"

"That's not it, how long has the Yan family been making salt, and how can the Lu family compare?"

Lu Zhi was a little speechless, this play is too fake!

However, it is understandable that the reputation of the Yan family cannot be lost, especially after the Lu family is destined to become famous, they must protect their own face, at least the three words "the most powerful" must be kept.

"Hehe~~~" Lu Zhi's sneer was very loud and extremely harsh, he pointed at the salt official, as if declaring war, "Isn't it coarse salt purification, you look at it, this son will teach you!" ”

…………

King Yue finally found out that something was wrong, "Old dog, go and see, what do they say?" So energetic. ”

Wei Zhong arched his hand, "Back to the king, probably because the Yan family is not convinced, and wants to save some reputation." ”

There is no need to elaborate on these things, King Yue has seen a lot, "In your opinion, how should it be solved?" ”

Wei Zhong bowed and smiled, "The old slave thinks that let them fight, whoever loses and wins will not harm the imperial court." ”

"Good!" King Yue sat on the high throne and watched with interest.

King Yue doesn't like the Yan family, and he doesn't want the Lu family to become the next Yan family, it's best for the two families to compete with each other, so that he can reap the benefits.
