Chapter 140: Liwei
But the young lady now proposes that the second uncle be the big shopkeeper, and then their master can work a little less.
What he can understand, I'm afraid that their master has already understood, so he can't bear to refuse Miss, but this second uncle doesn't look tempered on weekdays, I don't know if he can stop these people?
There was silence between the two of them, and the whole room fell silent.
Lu Yue, who was attached to the window, stood up straight, blinked the wetness in her eyes, stood on tiptoe and left the study gently.
Lu Yue wandered around the garden several times, thinking carefully about the people in the Lu family's business house, and found that only she, the second uncle, was the most suitable.
A burst of floral fragrance, Lu Yue raised her eyes, and saw that the flowers in the garden were colorful and beautiful, with fiery red peonies, black purple bauhinia flowers, and snow-white begonia flowers....
Lu Yue looked at the incomparably delicate flowers, stretched her waist, and said to Lu'er: "Lu'er go get a pair of scissors~"
"Yes~"
"There is actually a hibiscus in this garden, it looks really beautiful." Lu Yue looked at the flowers in the garden carefully, and whispered in her mouth.
"What is this?" Lu Yue pointed to a big red flower in the garden, but the shape looked really strange, like a cockscomb.
"Miss Hui, this is the cockscomb." The little maid next to her hurriedly replied.
"Well, there are actually flowers with such names~" Lu Yue was curious for a while, took a closer look, and put it under her nose to sniff, which actually didn't have any fragrance~
"Miss?" Lu'er looked curiously at Lu Yue lying on a flower.
Lu Yue raised her head and stretched out her hand towards Lu'er, who hurriedly handed the scissors in her hand to Lu Yue, and Lu Yue took the scissors and "click~" to cut a few peonies, peonies, white orchids, and bauhinia.
After cutting the flowers, Lu Yue happily held a bouquet of flowers and walked towards Lu's own yard.
Lu'er watched curiously as Lu Yue first lit a candle, then pruned the newly picked flower branches, put them on the fire and roasted them, and then put them in a vase filled with water.
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Lu'er's eyes widened in curiosity.
The corners of Lu Yue's mouth curved, "If you roast it like this, this flower will be thanked more slowly~" She took the roasted flower branch and showed it to Lu'er, and then put it back in the vase.
——
On the second day, Lu Yue couldn't help yawning, and Lu'er served Lu Yue to put on her clothes and shoes, and helped people to sit on chairs.
Lu Yue was angry and glanced at breakfast, but she didn't have much appetite. In the past few days, she has also learned a lot about the Lu family's business house, and last night she stayed up all night thinking of a practical plan for their family's business house, and she wrote down all her thoughts on paper.
Lu'er looked at Lu Yue's thin face and the dark circles under her eyes, and persuaded her with some distress: "Miss~ You can eat a little." ”
Lu Yue motioned to Lu'er to bring her a bowl of porridge, and Lu'er hurriedly put a bowl of porridge in front of Lu Yue, and specially put a vegetarian bun in front of Lu Yue.
Lu Yue ate a bowl of hot porridge, then she felt that she had come back to life, it was really tiring to stay up late, she stretched out her arm and moved, Lu'er saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to pinch Lu Yue's shoulder, knowing that Lu Yue had been sitting for too long last night.
"Li Hu begged to see him~" There was a small servant at the door.
"Come in~" Lu Yue's hand eating the bun paused, and opened her mouth.
"Have you had breakfast? Come and sit~" Lu Yue patted the table and motioned for Li Hu to sit, what's going on? On weekdays, there is a distinction between men and women, and the two Li Hu brothers stay in the outer courtyard or the study to serve, and rarely enter the inner courtyard.
"If you go back to Miss, I'll eat it, and Gongzi Zhou begs to see you." Li Hu stood with his waist straight, his whole body had already retreated from his former anger, and now he looked like a little general from the barracks, majestic.
"Zhou Gongzi, my cousin's second uncle?" The bun in Lu Yue's hand paused.
"Hmm~" Li Hu nodded.
As soon as Lu Yue heard this, the bun immediately put down, stood up and was about to leave, but Lu'er hurriedly blocked in front of Lu Yue and persuaded: "Miss, you haven't finished breakfast yet, you feel sorry for us slaves, so you can eat some more." ”
Lu Yue looked down, it was true that this big table full of breakfast was really a waste to be withdrawn like this, I am afraid that even the little maid who served her today would have to be scolded by the cook.
"Invite people to the flower hall first, and greet them with tea." Lu Yue waved her hand and sat down again.
"Yes." Li Hu hurriedly retreated.
To say that Zhou Hong inexplicably received a message from the little guy in Lu Mansion yesterday, asking him to go to Lu Mansion the next day, he tossed and turned all night and didn't figure out why the Lu family invited him over.
If this is to close his shop, just let people close the door, so why invite him to the door, and the tone of the little guy's voice is also respectful, not like he came to find fault.
Zhou Hong is the child of Aunt Lu Yue's mother's family, the son of a concubine, and has no status.
Later, Master Lu moved here from Linzhao, so he took them with him, but unfortunately Zhou Hong failed to take the test several times, and he was indifferent, even Master Lu was not very willing to deal with him.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, Zhou Hong came back to his senses from the fugue, and a figure flashed in at the door, "Rude ~ rude, let the second cousin wait for a long time." Lu Yue said with a smile.
Zhou Hong hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Miss Lu, you're polite~"
The two sat down, and Lu Yue looked at Zhou Hong in a green shirt and robe, like a pine and cypress, upright, and looked at this good spirit.
Zhou Hong was stared at inexplicably by Lu Yue's eyes, and sat quietly for a while, so he had to speak first: "I don't know why Miss Lu invited me over today?" ”
The corners of Lu Yue's mouth hooked when he heard this, Zhou Hong had been paying attention to Lu Yue's expression, and instantly got goosebumps on his body by Lu Yue's smile, why did he suddenly have an ominous premonition?
Lu Yue glanced at Zhou Hong, and then spoke slowly, "I want my second uncle to be the big shopkeeper." ”
What? The big shopkeeper? Zhou Hong couldn't hide the look of surprise in his eyes for a moment, but he quickly calmed down, and said in a cold tone: "Why me?" ”
In addition to him, I'm afraid those people are more willing to be the big treasurer of the Lu family.
Lu Yue hooked the corners of her mouth and replied bluntly: "Because I think you are a talent~"
The corners of Zhou Hong's mouth twitched slightly, it was the first time he had heard someone praise him like this, "Miss Lu has won the award, and the villain is just a poor scholar who can't even pass the Xiucai exam." ”
"Hey, second cousin doesn't have to be presumptuous, I believe in my eyes for people." Lu Yue said it categorically.
Who knows, Lu Yue's words not only did not eliminate Zhou Hong's doubts, but made him have a little more doubts in his heart, this Lu family should not calculate anything, right?
But the point is that he doesn't have much silver on him now, and he has no long things, so what is there to calculate?
"Miss Lu, there are many talented people in the Lu family firm, and there is no shortage of people like me, Zhou is really difficult..."
Before Zhou Hong finished speaking, he felt a foreign object on his shoulder, glanced down, his eyes almost fell off, and Lu Yue's hand actually pressed on his shoulder.
Zhou Hong was petrified instantly, and he couldn't wait to shake off Lu Yue's hand at once, but when he thought that this Lu Yue was not only Lu Yue, but also the princess of Qin, he could only endure it.
Lu Yue didn't think about it so much, she just reached out and patted Zhou Hong's shoulder, and said, "I heard that you have always wanted to move your mother's grave into your family's ancestral grave." ”
Zhou Hong's body froze suddenly, the corners of his mouth pursed coldly, and he sneered in his heart, everyone in this world said that Miss Lu was a fool, and this period of time really opened his eyes.
Zhou Hong thought that Lu Yue was trying to blackmail himself, so he was silent, waiting for Lu Yue to speak, who knew that Lu Yue's voice actually changed, and continued: "Second uncle, you want to wait for you to take power in the future, and if you have money, you can move your mother's grave wherever you want, even if it is to give your mother a golden body in the future, it is not impossible to repair the temple." ”
Time passed little by little, Lu Yue stood with her hands in her hands, looking at the flower shadows outside the window, Zhou Hong sat on the chair, lowered his eyes, and the hands between his sleeves couldn't help clenching his fists, and the green tendons burst out.
For a long time, it seemed to sigh softly, "Okay~" Zhou Hong spit out softly, and in an instant he felt that his whole body was relaxed.
Lu Yue turned around and laughed twice, the excited look on her face was self-evident, and the two talked about the shop for a while, Lu Yue was surprised to find that this person was quite sensitive to the change of market trends, and actually coincided with some of Lu Yue's business ideas.
The two talked happily with each other, and they actually felt like they were old at first sight.
After Zhou Hong left, Lu'er looked at Lu Yue with a look of desire, and Lu Yue said with a smile: "What do you want to say about this little girl?" ”
"Miss, you just said those words, why did the second cousin agree?" Lu'er asked curiously.
Lu Yue smiled and replied, "Because he is ambitious." ”
"Ah~" Lu'er looked confused, but Lu Yue didn't say anything more.
When she checked the account book, she found that although Zhou Hong looked cold and seemed to be arrogant, the account book records were detailed and the bookkeeping method was novel, so he didn't look like a conformist person.
Zhou Hong is only in charge of two shops, which are located in remote locations and are not doing well.
At that time, she was a little puzzled, why such a capable person had to nest in a small tea shop, if he went to other big restaurants, I am afraid there would be a way out.
Unless the person is dormant and has greater ambitions.
Lu Yue really didn't expect to be wrong, this Zhou Hong is indeed a manufacturable material, as for why she said those words, it is because for the strong, the process of getting some things back by herself is the most enjoyable, and I hope that she, the second uncle, will not live up to her hopes.
On the second day, Lu Yue summoned the shopkeeper of the trading house to Lu Mansion, and this time everyone obediently sat in their places and drank tea.
Lu Yue hooked the corners of her mouth, and sure enough, the effect of killing chickens and monkeys was good.
She drastically announced that except for the profit-making shops that did not move for the time being, the rest of the shops that were losing money would be overhauled.
Lu Yue paused slightly, "So you don't have to worry too much, this shop is only temporarily closed, and it will be opened again, do you still have any objections?" ”
