Qin Yining wondered why Lu Zheng's wife suddenly came to the guest house, raised her eyes to meet her gaze, and for some reason, Qin Yining only smiled and bowed.

But the eldest and young grandmother did not return the courtesy, raised half of her eyebrows, with undisguised disdain and scrutiny in her eyes, not like she was looking at a person, but as if she was observing the goods.

The smile on Qin Yining's face faded.

"You are Ning Niangzi?"

"Exactly. What does the young grandmother have to do? ”

The young grandmother walked towards Qin Yining step by step, and looked Qin Yining up and down with a pair of watery eyes. She has been married to the eldest young master for many years, and she has never seen him so enthusiastic about any woman, and this time he will urge her to give jewelry like a hungry cat.

Her heart was full of strong uneasiness and jealousy, and when she saw the real person, she was even more ashamed and ashamed of herself.

But she is the wife of the eldest young master, and the family is still attached to the Lu family, so she has no willful power.

Under the strong pressure, her heart was full of anger and sourness, and the young grandmother adjusted her mood only between breaths, and smiled politely: "Ning Niangzi is free?" Can you take a step to speak? ”

At this time, the eldest young grandmother looked at the owl on the side.

Under this view, my heart is even more complicated.

She knew that her husband was interested in someone else's concubine, but he didn't say that this "other person" was such a handsome son!

A good couple, why did she break it up, and then get the beauty in front of her eyes to block herself?

Qin Yining glanced at each other, not understanding what the young grandmother meant.

Patting the back of Xiao Xiao's hand, Qin Yining walked towards the young grandmother with rock candy and Jiyun.

Xiao Xiao hugged his arms and waited impatiently against the door frame.

The young grandmother and Qin Yining walked to a bamboo forest on the side of the road one after the other.

"That is Young Master Wan?"

"Yes."

"It seems that Young Master Wan is very fond of you?"

"Young Master Wan treats slaves very well."

"You are so beautiful, you can naturally afford the kindness of men in the world to you, and even people who have never been very keen on women have been moved."

The young grandmother turned around, with a smile on her lips, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"The concubine came on the orders of her husband, and I want to ask the lady if she is willing to be a good concubine?"

Qin Yining didn't know for a while whether she should be angry with Lu Zhengse, or sympathize with the woman in front of her who was obviously full of jealousy, but still wanted to be a virtuous woman who begged for a concubine for her husband.

"Don't hide it from the young grandmother, a few days ago, the eldest young master Lu asked the slave once, and the slave has refused. Even if the Lu family is rich, Young Master Wan's family is not weak, and Young Master Wan treats slaves and pampers them, and slaves also know something about the Wan family, and Young Master Wan is about to continue...... In the days to come, life will be smoother in Wanwannu. Although the Wanjia family is not as rich as the Lu family, I am just a little woman, and I don't have to do a big deal but also look at the capital, for me, the current days are enough to look forward to. ”

When Qin Yining spoke, Grandma Lu kept looking at her, as if she wanted to see a bit of truth and a bit of falsehood in her words.

Qin Yining looked back at her calmly and said, "Please also ask the eldest young grandmother to thank the eldest young master for the kindness of the eldest young master on behalf of the slave, and the slave can only live up to it." ”

The eldest young grandmother nodded hesitantly, and ordered the maidservant behind her to send a delicate three-layer brocade box.

"This is what the eldest young master ordered to give you."

Two maidservants opened the first layer of the brocade box on the side.

The black flannel cloth in the big red brocade box neatly places the head of the jadeite, the style is novel, the workmanship is fine, and the most important thing is that the water head of the jadeite is excellent.

The maidservant showed all three layers, then covered the box and handed it over

Qin Yining's eyes were appropriately greedy. It is impossible for any woman to be completely devoid of affection when she sees such a set of heads, and she magnifies her affection dozens of times.

But she refused.

"Thank you for the reward. It's just that there is no merit, and the business between the Lu family and Guangtong has also been negotiated. It's not good for slaves to charge more. Please take it home with you. Qin Yining knew Lu Zheng's thoughts, and didn't want to entangle with the Lu family's grandmother more, so he saluted and said, "Young Master Wan still wants to take the slave out, and the slave family will retire." ”

With his head bowed, Qin Yining walked back to Xiao Xiao's side.

The eldest grandmother was very surprised, it seemed that the woman in front of her was not a fool who was only greedy for wealth.

In any case, her refusal to enter the door of the Lu family is only good for her, not bad.

The young grandmother's complexion finally softened. He nodded from afar, and then turned around and left with the people.

The five senses were outstanding, and the conversation between Qin Yining and the eldest and young grandmother did not deliberately lower their voices, so they didn't need to ask, and they heard their words clearly. The stomach was full of pantothenic acid, and this matter was not Qin Yining's fault, so he held back for a long time and said: "How can the Lu family be virtuous!" ”

Qin Yining was stunned, and suddenly the flowers and branches that covered his mouth and smiled trembled.

Xiao Xiao was still a little angry, it can be seen that Qin Yining's smiling eyebrows and eyes are crooked, that look really makes his heart soften, she is so good, no wonder some people love her, and he can't blame his daughter-in-law for being too beautiful, too smart, and too good temperament, so he can only blame those people for eating the bear's heart and leopard gall.

Xiao Xiao angrily took her hand and walked out through the corner door of the guest courtyard.

Bingtang, Jiyun and Huzi all struggled to laugh and followed.

The two of them went out to naturally "swagger through the market" again.

After discussing in the proper place, Xiao Xiao went to the "Dingsheng Restaurant" told by Qiu Feishan and took a turn, and had a big meal.

"Let's show up in advance, Lu Zheng has already determined that I am the eldest young master of the Guangtong, and I will naturally not come here to attend the appointment on the tenth day of October, which is just convenient for us to act."

Qin Yining nodded in agreement.

made up a plan, and before leaving, Xiao Xiao called the shopkeeper of the restaurant to him and rewarded him with a silver ingot.

"The food and wine you cook here are very good, and they are very much in line with the young master's appetite. In this way, the tenth day of the first month of the next month is the birthday of my beauty, and this young master will tell you in advance that he will package the whole Dingsheng Restaurant to make a flowing water banquet, which is a deposit. ”

Huzi took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his bosom.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant has never seen such a bold young master, in order to celebrate the birthday of a concubine, he actually wants to charter the Dingsheng Restaurant to make a flowing water banquet.

took the silver ticket, and the shopkeeper said again and again: "Young master, don't worry, the tenth day of the first month of next month, right?" I will definitely do it for you when the time comes. ”

"Well, the young master has no other requirements, only one, you don't have to save it deliberately, just don't lose the young master's face."

"Oh, look at it!" The shopkeeper saluted, deliberately glanced at Qin Yining without a trace before going out, and then went out clearly.

Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining returned to the Lu family and continued to live the days of "arrogance and luxury" as usual, only during the period, they instructed the Dingsheng Restaurant, properly publicized him, and welcomed the whole city to come to the banquet, and everyone was lively together.

Dingsheng Restaurant is so publicized, and everyone in Mandanzhou City knows that there is a concubine from a young family who is going to celebrate her birthday, and Dingsheng Restaurant can eat and drink for free on the tenth day of October. There are those who are curious, there are those who despise, and there are many people who want to eat this unjust meal.

Naturally, this matter could not be concealed from Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng has been keeping a straight face these days, as if he is full of worries, Lu Xi naturally doesn't dare to say much, and only waits quietly on the side.

"Dingsheng Restaurant? Running water seats? Lu Zheng sneered, "I can't imagine that such a person who is addicted to taking advantage of a small advantage is willing to make a flowing water banquet in the Dingsheng Restaurant, and the iron rooster will grow his hair." ”

Lu Xi also said: "He is just swinging wide." If you want me to say, Ning Niangzi really can't open the account, she doesn't want the priceless head that the young master gave her, and in turn cares about the straw bale for a day, how much the flowing water seat can be worth. ”

Lu Zheng thought the same thing in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, and Lu Xi also said it, which poked his heart even more.

Lu Zheng got up irritably and entered the house.

Lu Xi knew that he was speechless, and he didn't dare to say more. After a while, Lu Zheng's face looked better. Lu Xi dared to ask: "Young master, do you want to go on the tenth day of the first month of next month?" ”

"Where to go? Eating running water seats? Or do you want to continue to go up to catch up and please Ning Niangzi? ”

Lu Xi didn't dare to speak.

"What kind of woman doesn't have this young master, but she doesn't know each other, do I have to stick it up? Let's leave it at that. As long as the business with Guangtong is there, I will not be afraid that she will not be sent to me in the future. ”

Lu Xi bowed his head, knowing that the young master had made up his mind, and he didn't force it at this time, which represented his determination to ask for people in the future.

Lu Zheng grabbed a chess piece and played with it in his hand, and suddenly said, "Isn't there another one who wants to buy an official tomorrow?" ”

"Yes."

"Ming'er, let's talk about business, you go and call that straw bale and ask him to bring Ning Niangzi."

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, then understood, and immediately nodded in response. Huan happily went to pass the word to the owl.

After listening to Lu Xi's reply and politely sending people away, both of them were a little puzzled.

"Lu Dashao wants to bring us with him when he talks about business? What does that mean? ”

Xiao Xiao pointed his finger down on the table, pondered for a moment, and smiled.

"He's flashing his fist in front of my bale of straw. This is also a common means for businessmen, so that people can see how good their kind of business is, and also raise their own value to facilitate future actions. Looking at Qin Yining, Xiao Xiao said again: "Maybe I want to show you the strength of his Lu family." ”

Qin Yining blinked and said funny, "Are you jealous again?" ”

The owl pouted, "The peacock opens the screen, and it is all cheeks to turn around!" ”

Qin Yining was stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud at him.

Xiao Xiao touched his nose and laughed after thinking about it.

With Lu Zheng's idea of wanting to "open the screen", Xiao Xiao naturally took Qin Yining to hide behind the screen and watch a few transactions of the Lu family.

It was only at this time that they really realized how much and how big the Lu family's business of selling officials and lords was.

In the negotiations, the Lu family has always stood in the leading position, and they will never give in after their demands are made, and the only compromises will be those who come to buy officials.

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao have seen a lot, and when they go out to play in private, they will help the Lu family settle an account. Just as they thought before, the Lu family used people in the imperial court, not only earning money, but also earning connections.

You must know that the officialdom is mixed, the colleagues of the DPRK and China, the same department and the same list, the same teacher, the same classmate, and the brother-in-law of Weng, and any of these relationships between officials will be a wealth of connections.
