Chapter Twenty-Seven: Liu Baihu

Looking at the panicked subordinates, Lu Guan was displeased, and frowned: "What kind of system is panicking?"

The subordinate didn't care about the apology, handed Lu Guan a black post with both hands, and gasped: "Zhenfu Division, Zhenfu Division Liu Baihu's worship post." ”

Lu Guan's face changed slightly, and he stood up and took the post with both hands, "What about Liu Baihu?"

"At the door. The servant pointed to the door.

"Why don't you come in with me to welcome Liu Baihu in!" As he spoke, Lu Guan walked out, and before he took two steps, a neutral voice sounded: "Don't work Lu Shopkeeper's distant welcome, this official has already come in." ”

Li Xiangyu looked up, and a middle-aged man in the courtyard wearing a cyan tiger fluttering robe and an embroidered spring knife was slowly coming.

Lu Guan's face changed again, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

"It's really a rare guest, Liu Baihu doesn't say hello when he wants to come, and he has to eat before leaving today. As he spoke, Lu Guan had already welcomed Liu Baihu into the pavilion, and then turned his head to the maid beside him and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? ”

"No need!" Liu Baihu didn't sit down, raised his hands and hugged his fists into the void and said: "Our prince has something to discuss with the shopkeeper Lu, and he is waiting in the yamen, so the shopkeeper Lu will come with me." ”

Lu Guan was stunned for a moment, reached out and took out a silver ticket from his arms, handed it to Liu Baihu covertly, and asked, "I don't know what the prince is looking for?"

Liu Baihu took the silver ticket and glanced at it quickly, put it in his arms, and said with satisfaction: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper Lu, it's a good thing." ”

Seeing that Liu Baihu was reluctant to say more, Lu Guan, who was a little settled in his heart, said politely: "Then please wait a while Liu Baihu, I'll go change my clothes." He bowed and motioned for Lu Liuliu to leave with him.

After the two left, Liu Baihu found an idle chair and sat down, took the newly replaced teacup and drank it all, turned his head to see Li Xiangyu next to him, and asked arrogantly, "Who are you?"

Li Xiangyu didn't know this Liu Baihu, and he couldn't talk about any likes and dislikes, so he replied: "Li Xiangyu is in Xia Dai'an." ”

Dai An's surname Li Liu Baihu pondered for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that he is the descendant of Zhongding Gong during the Chengzu period?"

Li Xiangyu was a little inexplicable, could it be that this person knew himself? nodded and said, "It is the ancestor." ”

Liu Baihu was in awe and said with a smile: "That's really not an outsider, Duke Zhongding served as the commander of our yamen, maybe my ancestor is still working under Duke Zhongding, we can be regarded as world friends!"

This has been a matter of hundreds of years, Li Xiangyu will not be stupid and take it seriously, and said politely: "It turns out that Lord Liu is also the queen of the gate." ”

After this door, Liu Baihu was very useful, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "Why is the little minister in this Lu family?"

Li Xiangyu did not hide it, and replied: "I am going to participate in this year's autumn festival, and Lu Guan is my brother-in-law, so I borrow it to live here." ”

Liu Baihu was quite surprised, and took a closer look at Li Xiangyu, seeing that his hair would be tied up at his age, and he could actually participate in the Autumn Festival. ”

Looking at Liu Baihu, who was quite condescending, Li Xiangyu only felt interesting in his heart, and continued to say politely: "Certainly, definitely." ”

While the two were chatting, Lu Guan changed his clothes and walked out, and saw that the two of them who had a good feeling of talking to each other were a little strange, but it was inconvenient to ask more, and he made a gesture to Liu Baihu: "I've been bothering Liu Baihu for a long time." ”

Liu Baihu had an arrogant expression when he didn't come back, and said with a smile: "It's only a moment, what do you say, wait a long time, let's go." After that, he said goodbye to Li Xiangyu enthusiastically, and then landed and walked out.

After sending the two away, Lu Liuliu grabbed Li Xiangyu and whispered: "Cousin said that if he can't come back tonight, let us send a message to Song Tongju, just in case." ”

"Can't come back?" Li Xiangyu was shocked.

Lu Liuliu nodded solemnly and said, "Cousin thinks that someone in the Zhenfu Division is afraid that someone has taken a fancy to our business." ”

Li Xiangyu, the director of the town pacification, occasionally heard people say that although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he probably knew that the town department had the right to patrol and arrest, and he had always acted arrogantly and domineeringly.

Li Xiangyu tried his best to think about the good of things, and said to Lu Liuliu: "Brother-in-law's worry is not unreasonable, but looking at Liu Baihu's posture, it doesn't seem like there is a strong robbery. ”

Of course, Lu Liuliu also hoped that he would be safe, sighed, and did not answer, looking at the direction where Lu Guan left with a heavy heart.

Li Xiangyu didn't know how to speak for a while, so he could only look at the direction where Lu Guan left with the same worry.

......

......

It wasn't until it was dark that Lu Guan came back with a tired face.

Li Xiangyu and Lu Liuliu were anxiously restless in the house, and when they saw that Lu Guan finally came back, Lu Liuliu jumped up and grabbed Lu Guan, and asked anxiously, "Cousin, are you okay?"

Lu Guan didn't care about talking, he lifted the teapot on the table, didn't use the teacup, drank a few big sips to his mouth, put down the teapot, and felt much more comfortable Lu Guan said: "It's okay, I talked about a business with that prince." ”

Hearing this, the two of them were relieved, and Lu Liuliu then asked, "What business do you have to discuss with them?"

Lu Guan's face flashed with indignation, and then he said helplessly: "I've come to the door, I can't talk about it, let me take a breath and talk to you two in detail." ”

Lifting the teapot again, this time he no longer drank water directly to his mouth, poured the tea himself and drank it all, Lu Guan said: "This prince has taken a fancy to the business of our printing shop, and let us supply it at sixty percent of the market price in the future, and they will be responsible for sales." ”

"Sixty percent of the market price, why don't they grab it?" Lu Liuliu couldn't accept it when he heard this, but there was thirty percent of his own.

Li Xiangyu was also angry, and said to Lu Guan: "The price we originally supplied to the bookstore was eighty percent of the market price, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they reduced it by two percent, and it was too dark to start, right?"

Seeing that Li Xiangyu couldn't accept it, Lu Liuliu really felt sorry for the silver, and said with a roll of his eyes: "Let's print ten copies, give them one, and how about supplying the rest to major bookstores at the original price?"

Lu Guan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What the prince means is that in the future, our goods can only be supplied to him." ”

"We can secretly supply the bookstore, as long as we don't let the prince know!" Lu Liuliu continued to come up with ideas.

Lu Guan and Li Xiangyu shook their heads at the same time, looking at the puzzled Lu Liuliu, Lu Guan said: "I'm afraid it won't work, this Zhenfu Division is the most well-informed, and there may not be bookstores that dare to ask for it in the future." ”

Thinking that Bai Huahua's silver was much less out of thin air, Lu Liuliu only felt distressed, and said angrily: "This can't be done, that's not possible, is it just giving away so much silver for nothing?"

Lu Guan patted Lu Liuliu's shoulder comfortingly, and said bitterly: "It can't be said that it is given away for nothing, in the future, it will be much easier to involve this business and the Zhenfu Division, as long as the rebellious books are not printed, others can be sold casually, and there is no need to worry that someone will find trouble." What's more, the Zhenfu Division has a yamen in the thirteen prefectures, maybe one day our books will be sold all over the world. ”

Thinking of the huge profits of Fengyue's script, it would be good to be able to sell it all over the country, Lu Liuliu felt better and stopped talking.

Seeing that Lu Liuliu no longer spoke, he felt that the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to say more, Lu Guan, suddenly remembered something, and asked Li Xiangyu: "Xiangyu, did you know Liu Baihu before?"

Li Xiangyu shook his head and said, "We only met for the first time today." ”

Lu Guan only felt very strange when he heard this, and said: "The original proposal from the prince was to supply the goods at a price of fifty percent, but fortunately, Liu Baihu said a few words, and it was set at sixty percent. ”

Li Xiangyu smiled and told the ancestral relationship he heard from Liu Baihu, and did not forget to describe Liu Baihu's attitude of being condescending.

Lu Guan, who understood the end of the matter, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the relationship between the ancestors is not the reason, it is estimated that I heard that you want to make friends with Qiuqiu." ”

Li Xiangyu nodded in agreement and asked, "This Liu Baihu is a wonderful person, brother-in-law, are you familiar with him?"

Lu Guan is really not very familiar with this Liu Baihu, but he also knows a little, and said: "This Liu Baihu's real name is Liu Shengchang, he is a native of Shangjing, a hereditary hundred households, and he is quite powerful, but unfortunately it doesn't matter much at home, I heard that in order to make up for these hundred households, he exhausted his family wealth, and as a result, he had no money to be sent to our Jinan Mansion, and he has been here for several years." He was very greedy for money, and I guess he may have been bent on going back, and I had given him some silver before. ”

Speaking of greed for money, Lu Guan, who had given the silver, continued to sigh: "One of the biggest advantages of this person is that he must do things after receiving the money, and he is still very well-behaved. ”

After listening to Lu Guan's words, the image of Liu Baihu became concrete in Li Xiangyu's heart, thinking of his appearance today, Li Xiangyu smiled heartily, but he didn't take it to heart.
