Chapter 270: Night Banquet
Lu Shao looked at Lu Mian silently, and he intuitively felt that Lu Mian would flatter and invite Mrs. Lu tonight.
He has already done it, but it is a pity that he has not met Mei Baoqing and talked to him personally. Since talking with Lu Lu and the Wang family, Mei Baoqing left Pingzhou early the next morning, but Fang Daguan Gu made it very clear to him that as long as his goods were good and cheap, it was impossible not to do so, and faintly said that he hoped that there would be a few more woolen weaving workshops that could weave wool brown and cooperate for a long time in the future.
So this business is sure to make money. But what he can't be sure of is to what extent Lu Mian and Mei Baoqing talked about it, and what promises they gave each other, so that Lu Mian could be so full of spring breeze and complacent. But none of this matters, because after tonight, all Lu Mian's previous actions will be seen again, and the wool brown he ate can only be spit out secretly, let alone build a wool weaving workshop.
Lu Shao waited patiently.
After three rounds of wine, Lu Lu stood up, took the wine jug and poured wine for everyone in the seat, and walked to his seat, but he didn't plan to sit down, only held the wine glass in his hand, ready to speak.
It's time! Lu Shao raised his eyes and looked at Lu Jianzhong.
"Father!" Lu Jianzhong got up with a smile, raised his wine glass high, glanced at Lu Mian out of the corner of his eyes, and said in a cheerful tone: "My son wishes his father good health." There is one more good thing to tell my father. Lu Lu clenched his cup with some regret and sat down.
"Oh?" Old Lady Lu shrugged her eyebrows happily and took a sip of wine: "What's a good thing?" Lu Jianzhong said with a smile: "There is a business that can make our family have a big fat year." It's a hairy brown business. He saw that Lu Mian's expression suddenly changed, his eyes flickered, and the smile on the corner of his lips suddenly disappeared, and he was in a happy mood, so he pointed at Lu Shao in a chic manner: "Da Lang, you can come." Lu Shao got up first and saluted Old Lady Lu, and said with a little shame: "Grandfather Rongyu, it's like this." A few days ago, because of the matter of the shop, my grandson was very sad, and I felt that I was shameless to be entrusted by my grandfather. In the depression, I was invited by a few friends,
I went to Wuzhang Lou to eat and relax, and I heard people talk about it in the interval, and now the northern hair brown is very popular, especially the weaving gold hair brown is very popular. ”
Lu Mian's eyes became darker and darker, and the ebony silver-inlaid chopsticks he held in his hand trembled slightly.
Lu Shao saw that his teeth were clenched very tightly, as if he could stand up at any time to refute himself, so he sped up his speech: "My grandson took this matter to heart and asked around, and it was true." The Wang family is collecting hair brown everywhere, and Mei Baoqing is also collecting it, so the grandson has the courage to beg his grandfather, and this opportunity cannot be easily let go. ”
Old lady Lu was very interested, leaned back in the chair and said, "Didn't the northerners love silk brocade before?" Why do you like to be furry now? But it's a good opportunity, you can hear about it. After Mrs. Lu's words were finished, Lu Mian's eyelids also drooped, and his face was expressionless, only an abnormal flush appeared on his face.
Lu Shao breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Mian had already missed the opportunity, and there was no point in speaking again. So he put his heart at ease and said slowly: "Speaking of this woolly brown other places, it is not as good as ours. However, the hair brown of Pingzhou is not as good as the huā color of Qingzhou, and there are many varieties and good workmanship. A horse from other places weighs sixteen taels, a horse from Pingzhou weighs fifteen taels, and a horse from Qingzhou weighs only fourteen taels......" He told all the things he had inquired about these days, and he said it in a clear manner, the more he talked, the happier he became, and the more he spoke, the more smooth he became, the old lady Lu listened with a smile in his eyes, and was very satisfied: "You have done your homework this time." Mei Baoqing: What's going on there? ”
Lu Shao, who didn't get Mei Baoqing's promise in person, felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't mess up at this time, and said arrogantly: "It's been negotiated, he said how much he will take." I also want us to build a wool weaving workshop, specializing in weaving Fang Shengti huā weaving golden wool brown, and send it to the princes and nobles of the Northern Desert for long-term cooperation. Old Lady Lu pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, then just do it." It's just about this wool mill, and I'll talk about it after the New Year. "Chinese New Year? What Lu Shao is most afraid of at this time is the New Year, and what he hates the most is the New Year. The Chinese New Year will be a watershed for the second room and for him and Lu Mian. How partial Mrs. Lu is, he doesn't know, but I'm afraid that he has worked hard here for a long time, and when the time comes, the good thing of forming a wool weaving workshop will fall on Lu Mian's head again, and when the wool weaving workshop is built and makes money, it will all become Lu Mian's credit.
How can you call him willing?!
Lu Shao mustered up his courage, got out of his seat, walked to the old lady Lu and knelt down, his tone was sonorous and powerful, and he landed loudly: "Grandfather, please give your grandson another chance." Old Lady Lu narrowed her eyes: "Da Lang, what are you doing here?" ”
Lu Shaowei shed tears first: "Grandfather, grandson knows no one, and the family has lost a lot of money. The grandson has been uneasy in his heart, so he wants to make up for it. To tell you the truth, this business is the news that my grandson has been thinking about and looking for for a long time, and finally got the news. In order to be foolproof, I have been busy for more than a month, and everything is ready, so I dare to open this mouth in front of my grandfather.
Ask your grandfather and grandson to round this face! This wool weaving workshop, you let your grandson build it, and your grandson will definitely be able to make up for the losses ahead. ..., he knocked his head down, and his forehead couldn't touch the ground.
Lu Jianzhong was silent, glanced at Old Lady Lu on the left, and Lu Mian on the right. Old Lady Lu's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, her eyes were hidden under her eyebrows, and her expression was obscure, as if she couldn't make up her mind. Lu Mian pursed his lips tightly, staring at the wine glass in front of him, and the flush on his face became more and more intense.
"Get up, you want to work for the benefit of your family, and how can your grandfather stop you? It's good that young people are ambitious. Jiro helped your brother to his feet. Old Lady Lu's tone was very gentle, but Lu Shao knew that he couldn't disobey the order, what he had to do had been done, and he had to stand up obediently immediately. So without waiting for Lu Lu to get up, he took the initiative to stand up, with tears in his eyes, which was really an indescribable honest grievance.
Old lady Lu suddenly looked at Lu Xuan: "Erlang, what do you think?" ”
Lu Mian's heart beat uncontrollably. He didn't even dare to look into Old Lady Lu's eyes, those eyes, no matter how strict they were to others, were always warm and loving when facing him.
He wanted to lie to the old lady Lu Although he had said to Lin Jinrong that he would not break or stand, but he really told the old lady Lu that there was a voice in his heart that told him that this was unfilial piety and disappointment. But after all, he heard his own voice ringing calmly: "Grandfather is asking about the opening of the wool weaving workshop?" ”
Old Lady Lu looked at him gently: "Yes, do you think this workshop can be opened?" ”
Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao both looked at Lu Mu with a little nervousness, and at the same time they were even more resentful in their hearts, they didn't expect that Old Lady Lu had so much trust in him, and they had to ask him about this kind of thing. It's too eccentric, it can be imagined, if Lu Lu can't say it at this time, he won't open it, if he suddenly remembers it after the year, it will naturally become his again.
Lu Mian smiled faintly, and said in a light voice: "My grandson has only known how to concentrate on studying since he was a child, and he has only been in contact with business matters in recent years.
The second uncle and the eldest brother are compared. Although he did not say it explicitly, he made his attitude clear, and he could not provide advice.
Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao both breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Jianzhong said: "Father, if you don't want to open a workshop, just to attract households, then it's okay: if it is going to be opened after all, it should be started earlier, and the good weavers behind the province are robbed." There are many people who can weave wool brown, but there are not many who can weave huā and gold. As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Jianjian, the third master of Lu San, and motioned for him to help with two sentences.
On this kind of occasion, Lu Jianli has always been a transparent person, and when he saw Lu Jianzhong glaring at him, he was a little flattered for a while, but he saw that Lu Jian was obviously not very interested, and he was full of worries, so he knew that he shouldn't say much, so he simply lowered his eyes and sat there transparent to the end.
Behind the screen, all the ladies stopped their movements and quietly listened to the movement in front of them. Lu Shi held his stomach contentedly, sat at the table with a steady nose, enjoyed the girl's service with peace of mind, and squinted at Lin Jinrong, who was busy serving Mrs. Lu, and his heart was full of pride.
Lin Jinrong's ears were erected high, but his eyes did not relax the movement on the table at all, and when he saw Mrs. Lu's eyes looking at a plate of crispy crystal paintings, he immediately put them in Mrs. Lu's plate. Mrs. Lu's favorite thing is her temperament, no matter what the men outside say, what the women fight for, she can always do her things well with peace of mind, and immediately patted her hand lightly, and said gently: "Good boy, you can also sit down and eat." Lin Jinrong knew that she was not a fake, so he sat down beside the Lu family with a smile, and as soon as he lifted the chopsticks, he heard the old lady Lu outside say slowly: "Okay, since you want to open it, just open it." Lu Shao's joy couldn't be covered by a layer of screens: "Thank you, grandfather." The grandchildren will start preparing tomorrow. Lin Jinrong's heart fell firmly into his chest. The expression on his face became solemn, and he basically didn't move the food. Lu Shi saw it clearly and understood, and he had to pretend to persuade him: "The second brother and sister haven't eaten at home for a few days, so eat more." This is specially arranged by the eldest aunt for you to go home today. ”
"Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, sister-in-law eats food for two people, so you should eat more." Lin Jinrong just smiled, but did not move his chopsticks.
But suddenly heard Tu Shi say: "Second nephew and daughter-in-law, I didn't say you, you are too thin."
You also said that medicine is not as good as food, why don't you want to eat more? Lin Yuzhen didn't say anything, and directly sandwiched a piece of fatty mutton and put it in Lin Jinrong's bowl, and the expression was, you have to eat this piece of meat anyway.
Lin Jinrong looked over from the faces of everyone present, except for Mrs. Lu and the Lu family, she saw a trace of dissatisfaction on the faces of the Tu family and Lin Yuzhen.
