"The side concubine doesn't know, before the princess got married, when she was still a young lady, she played slingshots and went outside to play, and it was common for gold to fall into the river and under the cliff, and every time she went out, there would be many people following behind to pick up gold." Tanchun pinched the handkerchief and grinned, and said, "This can be regarded as a good deed, sending money to the people." ”

Chu Huaiyu nodded, feeling that what Tanchun said was very reasonable.

Lu Yao was almost angry with this master and servant, and said angrily: "Can it be the same, most of the people in the capital are rich, and you can still live well without your little gold, if you really want to do good deeds, it is better to give the gold to the victims in other places." ”

Chu Huaiyu pursed his lips disapprovingly and said, "That's so troublesome." ”

Lu Yao was so angry that she almost didn't come up in one breath, and completely understood, Chu Huaiyu said so much was nothing more than an excuse, she was actually enjoying the pleasure brought by spending a lot of money.

"Let the people pick up less gold than you throw elsewhere," Lu Yao asked.

Chu Huaiyu nodded.

Lu Yao made one last effort and said: "It's really not good for you to be so extravagant, if you don't change it"

Chu Huaiyu shook his head: "No"

Lu Yao no longer tried to convince her, stood up and walked out without saying a word.

Chu Huaiyu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Go and tell Gu Congyuan and let him, the prince, govern you." Lu Yao said without looking back.

Chu Huaiyu hurriedly asked someone to stop her, threw the slingshot herself, ran to her with her skirt, and stared at her: "Are you so stingy, the Cong Wangfu is also a palace, and it won't be poorer than the Chu family."

Lu Yao turned around and said, "It's not a question of whether you're poor or not, it's a question of whether it's necessary." ”

After finishing speaking, looking at Chu Huaiyu's face, Lu Yao understood that she probably wouldn't understand what she meant.

Chu Huaiyu was pampered by the Marquis of Chu since he was a child, and he didn't take money seriously at all, so Lu Yao decided to persuade her from another direction: "Chu Huaiyu, you should know that although Gu Congyuan is a prince, his situation in the royal family is more embarrassing, His Majesty has been wary of him a lot, and there are many people in the Manchu Dynasty who have opinions about him, guess what they will do if they let them know that you, the princess Cong, are so extravagant."

Chu Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, she really hadn't thought about this problem.

Lu Yao looked directly into her eyes, and then said: "They will take the opportunity to impeach Gu Congyuan, and those imperial histories that have heard the wind will spray Gu Congyuan's dog blood."

"It's not that serious," Chu Huaiyu was a little weak-hearted, "I did this before I got married, and no one said anything." ”

Lu Yao looked at her like an idiot and said, "Can the identity and situation of Marquis Chu and Gu Congyuan be the same?"

Chu Huaiyu thought about it and became even more empty-hearted.

Lu Yao said angrily: "Chu Huaiyu, let me tell you, you are now the princess of Cong, your every move represents Gu Congyuan and the entire Cong Palace, not just yourself, let alone the Chu family, if you don't act more restrained, sooner or later you will kill Gu Congyuan."

After saying it in one breath, Lu Yao gasped violently, stood in place and waited for Chu Huaiyu's reply, if she was still obsessed, she would immediately go and tell Gu Congyuan about this matter, and let Gu Congyuan clean up Chu Huaiyu.

Yes, what Lu Yao really cares about is that Chu Huaiyu does this, which will affect Gu Congyuan's reputation.

Gu Congyuan was already in an embarrassing situation, and Lu Yao was also a businesswoman who was guarded against by the imperial court, and they tried their best to lower His Majesty's vigilance, but they couldn't let Chu Huaiyu ruin it so easily.

"I didn't think about it

So much" Chu Huaiyu was stunned, seeing that what Lu Yao said was so serious, he couldn't help but feel even more empty.

Lu Yao asked her: "Then you can't change it?"

"Change me, change it immediately, I really didn't want to harm the prince." Chu Huaiyu hurriedly nodded and instructed Tanchun, "Tanchun, you go and pick up all the gold that has fallen back, take it and melt it into gold ingots, and then find me some ordinary projectiles, and I will use that slingshot in the future." ”

"Yes." Tanchun agreed, raised his head and glanced at Lu Yao deeply.

Her young lady is used to luxury, and it is useless for anyone to say it, but she didn't expect to be willing to listen to Lu Yao's words.

"Well, that's pretty much it, it looks like you're not obsessed yet." Lu Yao looked at Chu Huaiyu with a smile, his mood improved, and said, "Don't worry, since you have changed, I will not tell Gu Congyuan about this matter again." ”

Chu Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him: "That's good." ”

After finishing speaking, she looked left and right, and found that there was no one, so she approached Lu Yao again, lowered her voice, and said in a secret tone: "Lu Yao, I won't tell you, I actually panic every time I see the prince, he is too scary." ”

"Well, is it so exaggerated" Lu Yao raised her eyebrows, obviously in her eyes, although Gu Congyuan's temper is not very good, he still has a gentle side.

"Where did I exaggerate, I said the truth, okay" Chu Huaiyu pursed his lips and said, "You don't know, when he looked at me with that kind of cold eyes, I had the illusion that my blood was frozen, and I wanted to run away." ”

Lu Yao didn't believe it, and looked at her suspiciously: "Then you always deliberately approached Gu Congyuan before, you are so enthusiastic, you don't see where you are afraid." ”

Chu Huaiyu hugged himself tightly in distress and said, "I can't help it, I can only endure the fear and come to him." ”

Speaking of this, Chu Huaiyu suddenly admired Lu Yao a little, he was able to face Gu Congyuan day and night, and he was not afraid, but he was really a powerful person.

Thinking like this, she was stunned when she saw Lu Yao's meaningful eyes, and suddenly understood something.

Lu Yao is not afraid of Gu Congyuan, of course, because Gu Congyuan will not show his ruthless side to Lu Yao, he only has a gentle appearance in front of Lu Yao, and the occasional fierceness is probably also pretended.

Chu Huaiyu looked at Lu Yao with a complicated expression for a while, not knowing what expression he should make at the moment.

Lu Yao also looked at her without saying anything, and could probably guess what she was thinking, so he patted her shoulder comfortingly.

Chu Huaiyu: "I wasn't comforted, but I was even more congested." ”

Lu Yao smiled, shook his head, stopped talking to her, and turned to leave.

Behind her, Chu Huaiyu told her: "Don't forget that you promised me not to tell the prince about me using gold to make projectiles."

Lu Yao didn't look back, continued to walk forward, only waved his hand and said, "Got it, huh"

Chu Huai stomped his feet angrily, and said angrily: "This Lu Yao will be angry with me when he talks."

"Flutter"

Tanchun couldn't help laughing, and when he saw Chu Huaiyu coming over, he hurriedly said: "Miss, the slave doesn't seem to be really angry when you look at you, you don't seem to hate the roadside concubine very much." ”

Chu Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, and then denied it without thinking: "Whoever said it, I obviously hate her"

After saying that, as if to increase credibility, he added another sentence angrily: "I hate her to death"

After that, he glared at Lu Yao's back childishly before returning to the house.

Tanchun couldn't cry or laugh behind him.

As Chu Huaiyu's personal maid

She has grown up with Chu Huaiyu since she was a child, and she knows her very well, knowing that she just doesn't hate Lu Yao so much, but she still arrogantly refuses to admit it.

What's more, it's not that Tanchun hasn't seen how Chu Huaiyu treats those people she really hates to the extreme, in comparison, isn't treating Lu Yao like spring breeze and rain

Tanchun smiled and followed Chu Huaiyu into the house, in order not to make Chu Huaiyu angry, she didn't continue the topic just now.

On the other side, after Lu Yao went out from Chu Huaiyu, he took Hongluan and walked towards Tongfu Firm, she hadn't been to see the business for a while, it was time to show up and see the situation.

When he was on the road, Hongluan said to Lu Yao: "Miss, Princess Chu is really extravagant, she played a slingshot, didn't she lose a lot of gold?"

Lu Yao nodded: "She is a spoiled eldest lady, she is used to doing whatever she wants, and the Chu family is also rich, and the Marquis of Chu is willing to spoil her." ”

Hongluan smacked his tongue and said, "Speaking of money, Miss, you are much richer than the Chu family, but you are not as extravagant as Princess Chu, Princess Chu should really learn from you." ”

Lu Yao felt funny, rewarded her with a burst of chestnuts, and said with a smile: "Who taught you to talk about the master behind your back like this?"

Hongluan knew that Lu Yao was not really angry, so he was not afraid, and said with a grin: "The slave only says it in front of you, but she doesn't dare to say it in front of others." ”

"You're relying on me to spoil you, and I won't punish you," Lu Yao asked.

Hongluan covered her head and smiled, but did not answer, but acquiesced.

Lu Yao said helplessly: "I really won't punish you, but you also have to pay attention to yourself, don't be used to being big or small in front of me, if you are not careful, you will say this in front of others, then I won't be able to protect you." ”

Hongluan shrunk her neck when she heard this, and said, "Yes, the slave knows, remember the teachings of the young lady." ”

Lu Yao said: "It's good to know." ”

The words fell, and the carriage stopped, and arrived at the Tongfu business.

Hongluan helped Lu Yao get out of the carriage and went in.

Lu Yao hadn't been here for a while, and the people from Tongfu Merchant were very excited to see her, and put down what they were doing to say hello to her.

Lu Yao responded one by one, and then called a meeting of several stewards and asked them to report on the situation during this time.

Everyone reported one by one, saying that during this period of time, Tongfu Merchant was attacked by the imperial court, and was also maliciously competing from the prince's side, and the situation was not very good.

But fortunately, they listened to Lu Yao's words, kept a low profile, and did not carry out commercial expansion, and firmly guarded the original industry to live, and the situation was not too bad.

After listening to the report, Lu Yao encouraged them: "It's been hard for everyone during this time, there is no way, the imperial court's attitude towards us businessmen is not good, we can only keep a low profile." ”

After a pause, he looked around at everyone, and then said: "But you believe me, all this will change one day, I will try to find a way to make Your Majesty realize the importance of business, and then we will all be big businessmen respected by everyone, do you believe me?"

"Believe Believe Believe"

As soon as Lu Yao's words fell, everyone couldn't wait to answer, without thinking or hesitating at all, as if believing in Lu Yao was already their instinctive reaction.

For the people of Tongfu Firm, Lu Yao is an incomparable existence, it was Lu Yao who led them to create a business myth, and it was Lu Yao who brought them together, and they naturally trusted Lu Yao very much.

Lu Yao looked at everyone and smiled with satisfaction, feeling warm in his heart.
