Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

This crab banquet was just a small-scale banquet between the ladies in the backyard earlier, and I don't know why, suddenly someone from the mansion sent an invitation again, saying that Lu Zhiyuan and Bai Zhi were invited to the banquet together.

Lord Lu sat in the study and looked at the contents of the invitation, pondering the intention of the prefect's move.

Although some problems have not been solved until now, at least the land of Jinling has maintained a relatively stable state, just like the invitation issued by the prefect this time, which is also a disguised gesture of goodwill.

In the past, he was too upright, so he also ran into a lot of trouble. In dealing with the matter of salt affairs, he went through several battles of wits and courage among the salt merchant officials, winning and losing. There are many lessons learned from the several setbacks, and instead of maintaining a hostile relationship with them, it is better to solve the problem in a roundabout way.

Although the imperial court asked him to manage the salt business, at first he thought it was a drastic reform, but when he came here, he found that the situation here was not as simple as he imagined. If it was to reform as he thought, it would inevitably have to dispose of most of the salt merchants, which would only cause turmoil in the entire Jiangnan salt industry, which was obviously not the result of the imperial court.

He can make an example of a hundred, but he must not force all the salt merchants to have no way out, and he suddenly understood the purpose of the imperial court sending him this time after hitting a wall several times.

What the imperial court wants is the stability of the salt affairs in Jiangnan and the salt tax, and what the people want is to be able to eat cheap salt.

He, as an official, is caught in the middle, and he has to balance the relationship between the two, after all, the disadvantages of salt affairs are not made in a day, and it will take time to solve them. This is a tug-of-war between you and me, fighting wits and courage, if you are too aggressive, it is easy to make previous mistakes, salt merchants dominate the market, and cause public resentment and dissatisfaction for a while.

Lu Zhiyuan remembered the former Salt Administration Department again, Xu Zheng's problem was the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the Jiangnan Salt Affairs was a mess during his tenure, and it was too late to govern it in the end, and it was the result of a death in a foreign country. This is also a bloody lesson from the past.

"My lord, how do you reply to this post?" The little guy standing in the house, named Jixiang, was newly promoted by Lu Zhiyuan, he was not very old, but he was clever.

"Go back to Lord Yu, and say that I will go to the banquet on time." Lu Zhiyuan thought that this was a good opportunity for the salt merchants to feel his affinity, so he agreed.

Of course, there is another consideration, Lord Lu is a little worried about his little aunt going out to the banquet alone, although it will not be a big deal, but in the end it is more reassuring to follow his eyes.

Bai Zhi didn't care much about these things, after all, she was more happy to be able to go to the banquet with Lord Lu.

Before leaving, Bai Zhi put on new clothes, got up early in the morning, and dressed up well, after all, she was attending the banquet with Lord Lu, so naturally she couldn't lose face to Lord Lu.

On weekdays, she is the most plain-faced, at most, occasionally she is in a good mood to paint a light makeup to modify her appearance, after all, she walks around the house every day, and she has to remove her makeup after lying down after putting on makeup, which is really troublesome.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, which will draw a delicate makeup, and put on a new dress, the whole person seems to have changed all of a sudden, and her face, which was not very good, suddenly looks bright.

Lord Lu was really amazed when he saw it, he smiled and reached out to take her hand, and said softly, "You look very good dressed like this." ”

Bai Zhi lowered her head shyly, she was more useful to this in her heart, and she couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh three times, but she made a shy answer on her face, in her words, this is called modesty, in the words of Lord Lu, it is pretending.

The two entered the room together and sat down separately.

Bai Zhi had already seen that Master Lu was holding a sandalwood box in her hand when she came, and she would look directly at it from the corner of her eye, thinking that it was not delicious somewhere.

Master Lu squinted at her and laughed at her for not making a point, "For you, open it and take a look." ”

Bai Zhi took it happily, and as soon as she opened it, she was immediately brightened by the brilliance inside, and Lord Lu brought a set of pearl heads.

The most unusual thing is that the whole set of pearls on the head is all pink, although the white pearls are precious but better in the end, pink pearls are priceless things.

Thousands of mussels are also rare one, pink is already very rare, even more rare is this set of pearls used in the head, each full and round, the color is warm, there is no flaw, a cursory look, there are hundreds.

The largest of them is the size of a thumb, and it is extremely precious just by looking at it, let alone made into jewelry.

"Is this all for me?" Angelica was a little surprised.

Although Lord Lu usually gives her good things, most of the things can be bought outside, and it is the first time that something as valuable as this one has happened, so she is still a little excited.

Lu Zhiyuan looked at her eyes shining, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at her, "Look at your little bit of talent, just such a vulgar thing makes you like this." ”

No matter how good a thing is, it's just an object. Lord Lu felt that he was sitting here as a big living person, looking at Aunt Bai's light-eyed woman, her eyes were full of jewelry, and she didn't see him at all, he had a new change of clothes today, and she didn't even ask a word.

"I just like such vulgar things, you can use vulgar things to make me cheesy to death in the future." She happily took a pearl hairpin and looked left and right, and both eyes couldn't help but bend into small crescents.

Lord Lu was speechless, and snorted twice, "Cheesy woman! ”

Bai Zhi carefully pondered whether this was praise or depreciation, thinking that it should be a very pertinent evaluation, she was indeed a cheesy woman.

"You're right, I'm a cheesy woman."

Lord Lu, "......" What else can I say!

Originally, Bai Zhi had already dressed up, and this time Lord Lu gave him new jewelry, and he inevitably had to put it on again, so it was delayed for a while.

"Sister, you ......"

The vial looked at her with her mouth open, looking shocked, which made Bai Zhi panic, maybe she was wearing this ugly face.

"Isn't it pretty?"

Xiao Bottler quickly shook her head, and shook her head vigorously, "No, it's good-looking, sister, you are as good-looking as the fairy concubine who came down from the painting." ”

Bai Zhi likes to hear others praise her for her good looks, but she is also a self-aware person, and she is a little embarrassed when she praises her, she pretended to cough twice and glanced at the vial, "Don't mess with me." ”

"Really, sister, you really look good today." Seeing that she didn't believe it, the vial was so anxious that she didn't know how to explain it.

Bai Zhi was so amused by her that she was helpless, so she had to echo, "Okay, good, I believe you." ”

Xiao Bottler looked up and saw Lord Lu coming around the screen, and immediately said, "Sister, you don't believe it, you ask your lord." ”

As soon as Bai Zhi turned around, she happened to see Lord Lu standing behind her.

Lu Zhiyuan knew that good jewelry could set off people's brilliance, but he didn't expect this set of pearls to match Aunt Bai like this, her skin was originally fair, which would be under the background of pearls, and her whole body seemed to be plated with a layer of light fluorescence, and her skin was like clotted fat, and there was more grace and luxury in the crooked eyebrows and eyes. It's just that she's not the kind of dignified person, and this appearance can't help but give people an unusually strong feeling of wanting to rip off her clothes.

"The little bottle is right, it's really good-looking." Lord Lu looked up and down, turned his head to the small bottle and said, "Go down and receive the reward." ”

The vial retreated happily, and only Lu Zhiyuan and Bai Zhi were left in the room.

"Is it really pretty?" Bai Zhi said and pinched her skirt in front of Lord Lu and turned around, and suddenly a fragrant breeze slipped by, refreshing people's hearts.

Lu Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around her waist, and hooked the person into his arms with a slight hook, his lips almost touching his lips to open his mouth, "It's good-looking." ”

Bai Zhi's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes rolled while opening her head slightly, and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is that because I look good or my clothes are good?" ”

"You look best without clothes." After saying that, the tip of the man's tongue touched her earlobe and licked it gently, and the tingling sensation instantly penetrated her whole body, making her heart thump.

The words fell, and barely gave her any time to think, the man's lips fell, and the warm touch spread quickly between her lips and teeth, and the familiar breath invaded her thoughts and her body little by little.

Her body fell softly into the man's arms, and when the man's hand was about to go down her clothes to the inside, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly exclaimed, "No, I have been wearing this makeup for almost an hour, and I can't break it." ”

"It won't break, I promise. Shrewd. The word seemed to overflow from her throat, with a deep and shallow seductive temptation, and it almost made her disarm and surrender.

"No, I don't want it, my clothes are going to be messy, my hair is going to be messy." She stretched out her hand and struggled, and she was busy dressing up early in the morning, and if it was destroyed in the end, she would have the heart to kill.

She lowered her posture and begged for mercy, and the obvious rejection in her eyes just hit the strange desire to conquer in the man's heart, and the more unwilling she was, the more she wanted to be reluctant.

Lu Zhiyuan's unspeakable heart itched at the moment, and he reached out to tear her clothes while coaxing gently, "Be good, be obedient, it will be fine in a while." ”

Bai Zhi resolutely objected, and stomped his feet in a hurry while pushing him, "I don't want it, you go away." ”

The more fierce she screamed, the more excited the man's eyes seemed to be, and the tighter the hand that imprisoned her became, and the two were so close that she could clearly feel the obvious difference in a certain part of the man's body.

Forced her to the side of the bed step by step, and as soon as she exerted her strength, she fell on her back on the bed, and when her body fell into the bed, the man's body also pressed down.

"You have broken my clothes, and you accompany my clothes." Bai Zhi was almost crying angrily, glaring at him with red eyes.

The man's low voice mixed with the softest tones came from her ears, making her tremble all over, "Be good, I'll pay you a hundred new clothes." ”
