Chapter 347: Friends

Lu Xuan's heart

"Gurgle" for a while, no wonder Mei Baoqing guessed that Mrs. Lu was seriously ill, and the struggle for power had begun.

Lu Shao and Lu Jianzhong are looking for a strong partner, and they still remember the Mao Brown incident that winter, in which the Mei family only recognized him, but not Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao, which caused most neutral people to see him differently from then on, making him straighten his waist.

Mei Baoqing's temptation, doesn't he want to fight for more interests? Lu Shao is willing to curry favor with Mei Baoqing at a price two percent lower than the market price, and he will either offer the same conditions here, or win over Mei Baoqing at a lower price.

But is it worth it? If it is two percent lower, what else can the Lu family earn? No less than chronic suicide. What he got was nothing more than an empty shell, and he had to lose his reputation.

Fengle Building, for five with all kinds of cloisters flying bridges into a three-storey building, I heard that in the early years in the west building can see the palace inner garden, later the west building was sealed, can no longer climb high and look far. Even so, visitors to the capital will still not miss the first restaurant in the capital, even if they can't see it? It's also good to feel the uniqueness of this kind of luxury that can only be said in legends. Of course, this is in the case of abundant money, everyone knows that a glass of lamb wine in Fengle Building is also sold for 90 yuan, and it is only 15 yuan to eat in the foot shop outside.

It makes sense that Fengle Lou is expensive, silver wine vessels, fine porcelain can be seen everywhere, beaded curtains and embroidered curtains everywhere, even the prostitutes who sell wine inside are much more beautiful than other places, and the guys who serve tea and water also seem to be dressed neatly. As far as the eye can see, the seats are full of silk shoes, calligraphy, paintings and flowers, which are lively but not vulgar.

Lu Lu arrived in the capital after passing Fengle Building several times, the first time was the old bachelor Rong invited guests, the second time was the same year party after winning the Jinshi, and then several times were to invite fellow villagers and colleagues to dinner, so the prosperity between them is also used to seeing it, and the car is familiar with avoiding the hustle and bustle in the lobby, and the corridor flying bridge in the shade of flowers and trees goes to the third-floor private room of the south building.

Mei Baoqing was dressed in white, with a smile on his face, standing in front of the window casually, holding a fan bought from Lin Jinrong's shop in one hand. The sun set, illuminating his back in a crimson, the fan as usual with the lacquer handle, the thick crow blue paper, the painted distant mountains and snow, the silver mud and the moon, so not eye-catching, but he brought a different kind of wealth and liveliness in his plainness, but there was a different kind of light loneliness in the wealth.

This is the so-called demeanor in the bones. Lu Mian has always felt that he is outstanding, and at this time, he had to praise it twice in his heart, but he also knew that Mei Baoqing's leisure and lightness were just the appearance, and the inside was actually cold and hard and sharp, otherwise he would not have become such a character at this age. He didn't mean to despise the businessman, and he was as cordial as ever: "Brother Ming is free today?" ”

Mei Baoqing looked Lu Lu up and down, and saw that he was wearing a beige gauze robe and green cloth shoes, only a piece of green jade around his waist, a refreshing ebony hairpin on his head, and his long jade body was clean and dusty, like bamboo and pine, and his expression and tone were as gentle and polite as when they first met him in Pingzhou, but there was a little more confidence and hardness in his eyes. So he smiled slightly and waved his hand at Lu Xuan: "Brother Min Xing, it's rare that you are the same before and after, before and after."

Have a seat. ”

Lu Lu smiled disappreciatively. Secretly said that even if he passed the exam, he was just an eighth-grade petty official, and there were many people in the world, so what was worthy of two faces? What's more, even if this official position is bigger, there is no need to be such a villain.

Mei Baoqing took a cup of tea in his hand, quietly looked at his expression, and when he saw this smile, he knew that he was thinking about everything and smiled, and said: "You probably think that there is nothing to be proud of, and it is not worth your face." ”

Lu Mu was surprised. He had never met anyone so sharp.

Mei Bao said lightly: "But I've seen too many villains' faces, so I'm a little surprised to see you like this." ”

Lu Lu didn't know what he was trying to do, so he cautiously did not open his mouth and listened quietly.

"You're probably guessing why I invited you here today? You've been out for a year, and I don't know much about the situation on Pingzhou. Mei Baoqing elegantly raised the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Lu Mian, and gently pushed the steaming tea in front of Lu Mian, "Taste, this is another way to drink." In such a sultry weather, it is very relieving of the heat, which is more relieving of the heat than eating the ice shaved mung beans and black plums, and is more conducive to health preservation. ”

Lu Mian thanked him, took a sip of tea gently, and said cautiously: "The situation over there in Pingzhou has often been seen from letters from home. It's not that he doesn't know anything, although the inner house is upside down, but he knows that the main lifeblood of the family's business is still in the hands of Old Lady Lu and Fan Bao, Lu Shao is still banned in Taiming Mansion, and although the power in Lu Jianzhong's hands is not small, it is still within a reasonable range. As for the Lin and Wu families, the Lin family is still decadent and decaying, and the Wu family is still low-key and pragmatic. And Lin Jinrong's business .................. Although she didn't talk to him much on weekdays, he also knew that Lin Shiquan had made a big business, and there was a trend of getting bigger and bigger.

Mei Baoqing was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Last month, before I came, your old man was seriously ill, and you probably didn't know it. ”

Lu Lu raised his head sharply and looked at Mei Baoqing, he really didn't know that the letter that had been coming from the family was that Old Lady Lu's condition was very stable. Of course, Old Lady Lu, Lin Yuzhen, Tu Shi and others refused to tell him this kind of thing, there must be a reason in it, that is, to tell him, what can he do? Take a leave of absence to go back to serve the sick? Lin Jinrong has just given birth, but it is not a full moon. Lu Lu calmed down: "Then how is his old man now?" How did Brother Ming Shen find out? ”

Mei Baoqing said: "I guess it has stabilized again." He didn't answer Lu Mian, how did he know to guess.

Lu Lu keenly captured this word, and for a while he had all kinds of concerns, he pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ming, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." "It's not profitable, Lin Jinrong is right, Mei Baoqing won't invite him to this kind of place for no reason.

Mei Baoqing didn't say anything, clapped his hands lightly, and ordered someone to serve the wine and food: "The meal is ordered, talk while eating." ”

Lu Mian has patience, since he has already sat here, since he can't fly back to Pingzhou with wings, he is not in a hurry, just wait for Mei Baoqing to make a move with peace of mind. Mei Baoqing seemed to test his patience, and talked to him about the customs and customs of the north and the south, and once even talked about poetry and songs.

Lu Lu smiled and answered his every word and question seriously. At the end of the meal, Mei Baoqing suddenly said, "Your cousin, is it called Lu Shao?" He once came to me, if I was willing to hand over the business of cooperation with the Lu family in the future to him and recognize him, he would be willing to give me all the current sources of the Lu family at a price lower than the market price. Do you think it's a good deal or not? ”

Lu Mian's heart "chuckled", no wonder Mei Baoqing would guess that Mrs. Lu was seriously ill, and the struggle for power had begun. Lu Shao and Lu Jianzhong are looking for a strong partner, and they still remember the Mao Brown incident that winter, in which the Mei family only recognized him, but not Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao, which caused most neutral people to see him differently from then on, making him straighten his waist. Mei Baoqing's temptation, doesn't he want to fight for more interests? Lu Shao is willing to curry favor with Mei Baoqing at a price two percent lower than the market price, and he will either offer the same conditions here, or win over Mei Baoqing at a lower price. But is it worth it? If it is two percent lower, what else can the Lu family earn? No less than chronic suicide. What he got was nothing more than an empty shell, and he had to lose his reputation.

He couldn't guess Mei Baoqing's thoughts, so it was better to let Mei Baoqing say it himself. Lu Mian quickly made a judgment, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ming Xian has not relied on luck and accident to get to where he is today. I think, Brother Ming has already made up his mind in his heart, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked me to come here. ”

Mei Baoqing's slender and white fingers gently swiped over the silver chisel wine glass, and his voice was equally low and pleasant: "You are a person who walks in officialdom, and so is your father, but this is not because I am willing to cooperate with you." You know, I have a lot of personal friends. ”

The subtext is that I have seen a lot of officials who are much older than you, so I am not afraid of petty officials like you. Lu Lu understood, but the other party was just stating the facts, so he was not annoyed, and he didn't feel humiliated, so he just nodded lightly: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Mei Baoqing smiled: "The world says that there is no treacherous business, but in fact, most of the time I am more willing to deal with upright gentlemen, reputable, and capable people." He stretched out his arms gracefully, and the silver chiseled wine glass made a graceful arc in the candlelight, "I think it seems more cost-effective to bet on you in the long run." ”

"I'm not really familiar with business. In terms of business experience and talent, I am inferior to my second uncle and cousin. Lu Mian hesitated again and again, feeling that it was absolutely necessary for him to explain this matter first, after all, it was impossible for Mei Baoqing not to know about this matter.

Mei Baoqing smiled again: "It's a good thing to be self-aware, but you are very blessed." Lin Shiquan once told me that someone gave him a chance, which is why he is now. ”

Lu Lu once again understood who Mei Baoqing was referring to, and why Mei Baoqing was willing to extend his hand to him. He has an identity that walks in the officialdom, and he has a wife who can do business, both inside and outside, how can the second room compare to them? In the long run, it is indeed the most cost-effective to work with him. But he won't think that Mei Baoqing is just looking for a partner, you know, although the Yongchang in Qingzhou and Pingzhou is important, but people like the Lu family are not one, and the Wu family and the Tao family will be happy to cooperate with Mei Baoqing. So he still had to make concessions, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you Brother Ming, but I don't know, what can I do to help you?" ”

Mei Baoqing was silent for a long time and said, "What if I say that I only do something long-term and mutually beneficial?" Perhaps, one day, you will go further, and at that time, I hope you remember to have a friend like me. If...... If Mrs. Zun wants to make some fat powder money, then she doesn't have to help others make money in vain. ”

Lu Lu looked at Mei Baoqing silently, and he saw many things from Mei Baoqing's face. There is a kind of person who likes to put a long line to catch a big fish, although he is not sure if he can become that big fish, although he really needs someone to push him, after all, in this regard, even Lu Jianxin can't give him much help. But he is not willing to give such a promise easily, and easily give himself to others.
