Chapter 867: Covetous
"That dare is good, there is food, accommodation, and play, your Lu family's hospitality is still good. It would be even better if there were a few more beautiful maids to serve. “
Lu Zheng saw that "Young Master Wan" was satisfied, his eyes flashed with greed, and he obviously longed for the days of eating and drinking in the Lu family, and his disdain was even greater.
Now that the business has been settled, they have become partners, and the Lu family really doesn't care about entertaining business partners with silver, just looking at the face of "Young Master Wan", Lu Zheng feels disgusted.
"Lu Xi, send Young Master Wan and his entourage to the guest house." Lu Zheng flicked his sleeves and turned around, out of sight.
Xiao Xiao took Qin Yining's hand, took the companion Huzi, rock candy and Jiyun, and happily followed Lu Xi all the way to the guest house.
The Lu family's mansion is not only a branch residence, but it is also a century-old mansion that has been renovated several times. The building of the guest house looks significantly newer, and it is thought that it was built for the convenience of guests.
Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao showed their appreciation of the scenery on their faces, and on the other hand, they secretly remembered the layout and direction along the way.
Lu Xi couldn't stop looking at the two of them, and seeing that they were both amazed, he could affirm Lu Zheng's previous guess.
It seems that Guangtong Wanjia is really a nouveau riche with no foundation, and this Young Master Wan is probably also a straw bag with a few drops of ink in his belly. At first, he thought that this person was deliberately reminding him on the boat, and by the way, he helped the young master solve a trouble. Now he understood that he was overestimating this man.
The guest house is in the northeast corner of Lufu, which is connected to the outer courtyard, and a corner door is opened on the back street to facilitate entry and exit. There are three main rooms in the whole courtyard, with two wings on each side, and the inverted seat is opened up into a small kitchen, which is also the place where the Lu family considers well, and long-term guests can go to the big kitchen to order, or they can open their own small stove.
Qin Yining looked at the courtyard again, and then leaned on the tired look.
Xiao Xiao said: "Are the beauties tired? ”
"Hmm. I can't eat or sleep well in prison these days, and I can't get tired. ”
Lu Xi smiled on the side and bowed his head and said, "There were some misunderstandings before, but the young master has prepared wine and food for the two of you, and someone will send them later." ”
He turned around and introduced the two stout servants and two pretty maids in their twenties.
"This is specially arranged by the young master for Young Master Wan and Ning Niangzi, Mrs. Hua, Mrs. Zhang."
Two mothers-in-law wearing dark green armor came forward to salute: "I've seen Young Master Wan, Ning Niangzi." ”
Lu Xi said again: "This is Su Lan and Su Fang. ”
"I've seen the young master and the lady." Two maidservants wearing light green narrow sleeves and dark green armor saluted together.
Xiao Xiao's eyes turned around the two girls, and then he shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't have a water spirit point in your house?" Whisk snow like that? ”
Lu Xi's fists clenched for a moment, the green tendons on his forehead jumped twice, and he smiled without a smile: "It's rare to have a look like Ning Niangzi." ”
Xiao Xiao waved his hand and said generously: "That's it, you go, you don't need to serve here." ”
Who wants to come down and serve you? Lu Xi couldn't help but slander in his heart, because the other party was a partner in business cooperation, so he could only forcibly hold back, and said respectfully, and bowed and retreated.
Xiao Xiao put his arm around Qin Yining's waist and entered the house, asked Bingtang to follow the two maidservants to get food, and Jiyun and the two grandmothers went to prepare the bedroom, leaving only a tiger by his side.
When there was no one around, Xiao Xiao and Huzi carefully checked the surroundings again to make sure that no one was monitoring and eavesdropping, and then relaxed.
Xiao Xiao was finally able to sit with his back straight as usual, and said with a smile: "Hey, deliberately bending his neck, it's more tiring than fighting." ”
Qin Yining giggled, "Aren't I tired of talking in a loud voice?" ”
"Actually, I still like the way you look."
Qin Yining couldn't help glaring at him, "I'm afraid it's become a habit, it's not dignified when I go back, and I can't teach the children well." ”
"That's the same thing." He touched his chin and nodded.
Huzi watched the topic of the two of them happily wrap around the children, and couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Xiao glared at Huzi, and Huzi's silence immediately retreated into the corner.
Qin Yining's face was a little hot, he coughed and cleared his throat, and asked, "You plan to tell your people to the Lu family and let them arrange them?" ”
"That's exactly what I mean." Xiao Xiao remembered Lu Zheng's appearance, and shook his head with a smile, "Although he can be regarded as a gentleman, he is shallow in the end." ”
"It's you who act too similar."
Xiao Xiao laughed and said proudly: "As soon as I saw him looking at me with disdain, I couldn't help but want to laugh." But this time the deal is really good, you don't have to pay the capital, you can buy and get it away. ”
Qin Yining crossed his fingers to help him calculate, "You don't need to pay the capital now, the Lu family will arrange someone to go to Guangtong in the future." Your people can do the Qin mission again, and we can grasp the affairs of the old capital again. As long as we don't show our contact with the Qiu family, everything will be easy to say. ”
"Exactly. After the matter is completed, we will retreat and withdraw, not only can we let the Lu family help me arrange people for free, but also let the Qiu family bleed, and afterwards they will settle accounts with each other, but I am afraid that they will have a grudge. ”
Huzi smacked his tongue: "Now they are not miserable"
"If we don't do it, we will be the ones who will be unlucky in the future." Xiao Xiao supported himself with one hand and said with a smile, "In the next few days, I will have to bother the lady to continue to accompany Young Master Ben to travel the mountains and rivers." ”
Qin Yining said: "It's an honor. ”
did a full set of plays, and in the next days in the Lu family, Xiao Xiao gave full play to the style of a small family's childish son. On the one hand, he wanted to take advantage of the Lu family, and took Qin Yining to visit all the places of interest near Danzhou City.
Qin Yining went out to have fun with Xiao Xiao every day, and when he returned to the Lu family, he was entertained with good wine and food, and the small life was beautiful, which was simply the most peaceful and sweet day after the two of them got married.
Lu Zheng originally paid attention to and investigated Young Master Wan, but looking at his appearance, Lu Zheng didn't even bother to take a look at it in the end, and occasionally heard Lu Xi talk about the "Young Master Wan" who lived in the guest house and took the beauty to the mountains and scenery all day long, and then looked at his busy days, thinking of Young Master Wan's contemptuous face, he couldn't help but feel irritable.
"Young master, you take a sip of hot tea and take a break." Lu Xi put the delicate white porcelain tea bowl in Lu Zheng's hand.
Lu Zheng nodded, took a sip of tea and said, "The surname Wan went out to eat, drink and have fun, what else did he do?" ”
I didn't see him do anything anymore, he seemed to be busy pleasing that Ning Niangzi these days, buying a lot of gold and silver jewelry, rouge gouache, and silk and satin. They couldn't put it down, so he arranged for someone to send them back to the ship. ”
"Hmm. How is Ning Niangzi living with him? Got bored? ”
Lu Xi was not surprised, Lu Zheng was moved by Ning Niangzi, and he had already seen it.
"Ning Niangzi is still the same as always, young master, you are very concerned about Ning Niangzi?"
Lu Zheng snorted and said bluntly: "That straw bale, plain and white, defiled the beauty." The partial beauty is blind. ”
Lu Xi agreed, "The one surnamed Wan was just lucky, and he met a beauty first." If the young master likes it, he will naturally have some means. Looking at Young Master Wan's appearance, but there is a pair of skins, the young master is handsome and chic, and he is not inferior to Young Master Wan, plus the background of the Lu family is here. ”
Lu Zheng was a little melancholy, "But the last time I asked, Ning Niangzi had bluntly refused." ”
Lu Xi shook his head with a smile.
As Lu Zheng, all his women are rushing up, and Lu Zheng doesn't have to open his mouth at all. The big and small maids in the house, but if they have some looks, which one doesn't want to be a person in the house who is Lu Zheng?
"Young Master, you have always been too smooth emotionally." Maybe the young master hasn't really fallen in love with any woman yet.
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, as if he had fallen into memory, and said for a while: "Yes." Speaking of which, there really isn't a woman who needs to be thought about but can't get. ”
The master and servant fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Lu Zheng came back to his senses, "You go to open the warehouse, I remember that someone gave me a set of jade heads with gold and jade inlaid a few days ago, plus a few sets of earrings and cloves in it, there are one hundred and eight pieces, and you send a box to Ning Niangzi." ”
Lu Xi said in surprise: "But the young grandmother has seen that set?" ”
Lu Zheng said: "She has a lot of jade, and she doesn't care about this set." Go, you carefully see if Ning Niangzi is happy or not. ”
"Yes." Lu Xi thought for a while and suggested: "Young Master sent jewelry this time, it is better to avoid that Young Master Wan, I can't say that she is hindered by Young Master Wan's presence, and it is not good to agree before she sternly refuses Young Master?" ”
"That makes sense." Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "That's it, I don't want you to pick it up, I'll let the young grandmother go." It is easier for women to talk to each other. ”
Lu Xi hesitated and persuaded: "Young grandma is afraid that she will know, okay?" ”
"What's wrong?" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows in disunderstanding: "I'm going to come in sooner or later, won't I know when the time comes?" Besides, since she is a wife, shouldn't she deal with these things? ”
Lu Xi thought about it, but it was the same, so he didn't say much.
When Qin Yining was discussing where to go to play today, someone came to the door of the guest house to spread the word.
After a while, Bingtang walked to the bottom of the corridor and said, "Ning Niangzi, the eldest and youngest grandmother asks to see you." ”
Qin Yining raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Grandma is looking for me?" ”
Rock Candy said at the door: "Yes." ”
Qin Yining glanced at each other, then stood up: "I'll go and see what she is going to do, maybe I can come up with some words." ”
Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment, but shook his head, "No, you still don't want to go." This young grandmother never appeared at the beginning, and it must have been Lu Zheng's instigation to come suddenly, Lu Zheng didn't look down on me from the beginning, there is no interaction between noble ladies, she must have come to you, after all, the Lu family is dominant here, so don't take risks. ”
"You have a point. Then don't go. ”
He simply stopped Qin Yining's shoulder and went out, "Let's go, let's go out first and discuss where to go today." ”
Bingtang, Jiyun, and Huzi immediately followed.
When the group walked to the gate of the courtyard, they saw a beautiful woman wearing a red jacket and a dark green horse-faced skirt standing not far away. The woman was dignified and beautiful in her year, and there was a bit of bookishness between her eyebrows, and she was looking at it curiously.
