Chapter 672: Calculation
Today, Lu Yu asked the little guy to go out with the front foot of the book, and the back foot of Master Lu will know.
Mr. Lu immediately entered Mrs. Lu's house, and Mrs. Lu was sitting on the big kang near the window, chatting with the old servant Amber without a match.
Seeing Master Lu come in, Amber retreated with interest.
"Father, Ah Yu really went to the Wu family."
If Master Lu has no expectations for his eldest son, it is impossible. Lu Yu was born a talent, and grew up in the capital since he was a child, but he did not get contaminated with the habits of a gentleman. For Lu Yu, from the day he landed, his life road has been paved, such a family background, and the eldest grandson of the long house, as long as the old man Lu does not raise his son crookedly, he will have an explanation for the ancestors and grandchildren and future generations.
The little guy brought the tea, the fragrance of the tea overflowed, and the voice of the old lady Lu came from the moisture: "Ah Yu can think of going to the Wu family boy, which shows that he is not stupid, but also sees it thoroughly." ”
Hearing his father praise his son, Master Lu was honored, and he hurriedly said: "Fortunately, the Wu family sent him is also a young man, otherwise with Ah Yu's two sons, how can he deal with him." ”
"You, you are a father who has not yet understood Ah Yu", Old Lady Lu sighed and said, "When our family moved from Shanxi to the capital, we finally saw the results in Ah Yu's generation. However, thanks to you for letting Ah Yu play with the three boys of the Huang family, the Huo family, and the Li family over the years, and telling him to watch and think more, otherwise he would not have this insight now. ”
Master Lu was happy in his heart, and was about to speak, when he heard Old Master Lu say again: "The reason why I said that Ah Yu understands better than you, do you understand?" ”
I've seen a grandson and a son, but I've never seen a grandson step on a son.
Master Lu sighed silently in his heart, but said in his mouth: "My son also asked my father for some advice." ”
"Well, have you thought about it, why did Mrs. Huo introduce the Wu family boy to Ayu?"
Without waiting for Master Lu to speak, Old Lady Lu asked and answered: "Whether it's the Huo family or the Wu family, they are all separated from our family, so even if they cut off contact with our family, the two of them will not have any loss, but if they really want to win over our family, they may not have much benefit, do you understand?" ”
Hearing this, Master Lu's face was hot, and he only understood the mystery at this time. But listening to his father's tone, could it be that Ah Yu had already understood?
"Father, do you say that Mo is not the eldest lady of the Huo family and the boy of the Wu family are just people who do things, and there are other people who really want to win over our family?"
Old lady Lu said "um" and said, "If I guessed correctly, Ayu will return with a full load this time." ”
Master Lu gasped, looked around, and the two servants in the room quietly retreated.
At this time, Master Lu said in a low voice: "Father, what do you say the one in the northwest is going to do?" ”
"What to do? Haven't you seen that the world is in chaos? Otherwise, why would I want you to collect the loan? In my opinion, the one in the northwest is about to move. ”
The needle drop in the house could be heard, and it took a long time for Master Lu to come to his senses, and he said anxiously: "Father, then I will let someone send Ah Yu out of the capital to avoid it for a while, so that he will not be used by others and cause a catastrophe of raiding his house and destroying his family." ”
"Raid the house? Do you think that if you sit at home, nothing will happen from the sky? Our Lu family's Jin Taixiang is the bane, our family's gold and silver mines are also the bane, and even our family's Zhuang ticket is also the bane! The edifice will fall, and there will be no eggs. Today's surname Zhan didn't look for us, how do you know that tomorrow's Taiping will not come to calculate? In addition to the Taiping Society, don't forget that there is also the one in the Forbidden City, who is even more ruthless. ”
Ten years ago, if someone said that the Forbidden City would be calculated on the heads of merchants, they would definitely be dismissed as nonsense. But the incident of the Huo family many years ago, but anyone who does business in the capital, everyone knows what is going on.
On the surface, it was the queen mother who killed her brother and daughter-in-law, but as for the things behind it, some people speculated that it was done by the queen mother at that time, that is, the later queen mother, but no matter who it was, in the end, the Huo family was found to be the scapegoat, and in the end, 200,000 loads of grain and grass were distributed to the Huo family.
But the queen and the queen mother, who had exhausted the organs back then, died early in the end, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that these two died strangely, and eight or nine times out of ten they died at the hands of the current little emperor.
So if you talk about ruthlessness and coldness, it must be the little emperor.
At present, what the court lacks is silver, maybe one day, the little emperor will find a name, and a trumped-up crime will be pressed down, can the Lu family still hold the silver and wait for death? Besides, if everyone is dead, and whose hands does the money fall, then do you need to ask?
"Father, our family has always been known for being rigorous and calm, although the current wind and rain are turbulent, but we can't use the whole family and Jin Taixiang as bargaining chips?"
"Nonsense, who told you to use the whole family and Kim Tae-sang as bargaining chips? Why can't you just look at Mrs. Huo? ”
Master Lu grinned, I'm a big man, what do I have to do to see what Mrs. Huo does?
"What are you doing when you see the Huo family and the Wu family?" Old lady Lu asked.
Master Lu thought for a while and said: "In the past, the Huo family didn't have much business in the northwest, but a few years ago, Mrs. Huo went to the northwest in person, and then the Huo family's caravans frequently traveled between the northwest and the capital. As for the Wu family, didn't Ah Yu also say that day, the Wu family came to make money for Zhanhuai in the capital. ”
"Well, you can see that this is the best, but now, don't the Huo family and the Wu family still have to come forward together to introduce our family to Zhanhuai? Our family does not have a caravan, and there are no businessmen who buy and sell short, and our family is a money bank. ”
Every word of Old Lady Lu hit Master Lu's heart like a hammer, and he smiled bitterly: "Then after a while, Ah Yu will take back the customer roster as detailed as possible?" ”
Old lady Lu laughed, and he said to Master Lu: "People are prepared, but our family will not sit and wait to be trapped, don't forget, what did Ah Yu say that day?" ”
"Ah Yu said that if he is allowed to go to Shaanxi, he can bring the big family of the Wu family to our Jin Taixiang." Master Lu said.
"It's not just a Wu family, Ah Yu is a steady child, he doesn't dare to say it rashly. Have you ever thought about it, in the northwest, the biggest money village is not our Jin Taixiang, but Baochang, why didn't Zhanhuai look for Baochang, but took a lot of trouble to find us? Old lady Lu asked coldly.
Master Lu thought about it, and between the lightning and flint, a name came to his mind.
"Huo Jiu? It's because of Huo Jiu! ”
Back then, Lu Yu and Huo Jiu were playmates, and once the little guy he installed next to Lu Yu quietly told him that Huo Jiu and Zhanhuai were good friends.
At that time, Zhanhuai killed Guo Yong and caused a big disaster, Huo Jiu was actually with Zhanhuai, he was worried that Lu Yu would get into trouble, so he found an excuse to detain Lu Yu at home for a few days, and then the situation took a sharp turn, Zhanhuai not only did not punish the crime, but led the troops to fight, he was relieved and let Lu Yu continue to play with Huo Jiu.
But Huo Jiu had already died.
But the Huo family is still there!
