Chapter 673 - Entrainment of Illicit Goods
He Jiuniang and Lu Guilan both followed Sun, and Qin took Lotus's hand and gently placed it on Leizi's hand.
"Leizi, the second aunt handed over the lotus flower to you, you have to take good care of her in Fucheng, and when we deal with the affairs here, we will be able to go to Fucheng to see you soon."
Qin Shi smiled gently, she was already planning to go to Fucheng to open a gambling house, although it would be very difficult, but she rarely had something she was interested in, so she wanted to try it, it was better than only taking children at home all day.
In the past, she always felt that women should teach their husbands and children at home, and let men go outside.
But after escaping the famine, seeing the actions of the three brothers and sisters along the way and the practices after coming to Jingzhou to settle down, led the whole family to prosper.
Even so, the dog was still well raised by the three siblings, and was the most intelligent and sensible in the group of children.
And because the three siblings have the ability, they have set an example for the children, and they have much more perseverance than before.
Later, the sister-in-law also opened her own restaurant, and now the younger sister is also going to Fucheng to open a jewelry shop, and even the mother-in-law has the urge to do it herself, and if she doesn't act, she won't be able to catch up with them at all.
"Second aunt, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the lotus."
The smile on Leizi's face is not to mention how bright it is, he knew that he would be able to marry Lotus if he expressed his intentions, so he should have acted earlier, and it would have saved those people from coveting Lotus for so long.
From today on, Lotus is his fiancée, and no one wants to think about it anymore.
Lianhua blushed and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, we are waiting for you in Fucheng, and when I go back, I will help see where the location of the gambling house is better, and buy it first." ”
"Okay, you can do it when the time comes, but you have a lot of things, so you should be busy with your own affairs first, and don't be in a hurry about the affairs of the gambling house."
Qin smiled heartily, finally feeling that he had a common topic with them.
"Huh!"
A few people went out talking and laughing, and there were already a lot of guests outside, although I don't know what they thought in their hearts, but at present, everyone's faces were full of smiles.
Naturally, you want to bring gifts to the banquet, and it is rare to give gifts to the Lu family openly, and everyone is riveting to give them, for fear that the Lu family will not look down on them.
Lu Baichuan had long known that there would be such a thing, so he asked people to count the gifts on the spot, check the inside and outside packaging for self-study, and if there were any private goods, they would take them out and return them to others.
The gifts on the bright side are naturally not too valuable, but they are too simple to stuff some small gold bars, silver tickets, etc., they give them quietly, and the Lu family quietly collects them, and they don't know it.
With short hands, when they encounter problems and ask for help, the Lu family will naturally take a hand.
And they asked for nothing more than that.
But the Lu family is ruthless enough, they started to check in front of so many people, and all the things other than gifts were returned, and they didn't talk about it at all.
The smiles on everyone's faces really couldn't be maintained, and no one cared about laughing at anyone, so they all went to Lu Baichuan to intercede.
"General, we don't have any other thoughts, we just think that Young Master Lei and Miss Lotus are married, and we can't take out any expensive gifts, so we just give some gifts to lining!"
"Yes, yes, our county is a small place, we can't buy any good things, and I don't know what Young Master Lei and Miss Lotus like, just let them buy it themselves."
"We are just sending some blessings to the two children within our ability, and the general will accept it!"
……
It is rare for the enemies who usually pinch each other to have such a unified voice, and even the tone of their speech is the same flattering.
Lu Baichuan checked the gift in public is no longer very appropriate, at this time can no longer be cold-faced, in the face of these people to please intercede, he also showed a smile, said: "The hearts of the adults, our Lu family has received it, but the two children are still young, not so blessed to receive such a big gift, and please take it back from the adults, today is the day of the two children's great joy, don't worry about these trivial matters, just eat and drink." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went to entertain the guests in the village, which was not to give these people a chance to say anything more.
And it was the first time for the guests in the village to see so many officials, and they were all frightened, and they huddled at the table and didn't dare to come out, for fear of offending these big people, and they didn't even know how they died.
Fortunately, the Lu family was kind and did not ignore them, Boss Lu and Elder Lu have been accompanying these guests in the village, so that they will not be so helpless.
At this time, the Zhang family and the Liu family came.
Other people's gifts are held in their hands, the Zhang family and the Liu family are picked up, of course, the Liu family is more.
This scene attracted everyone's attention, they had to be investigated by the Lu family for so little gift boxes, and the two county orders were still so high-profile that they couldn't be investigated?
The county magistrate was richer than them, and they didn't know how many things they were hiding, so they immediately didn't feel sad, and stood aside tacitly to watch the show.
It was at this time that the Sun family went to the backyard and pulled He Jiuniang and Lu Guilan out.
This kind of scene, it would be better to let He Jiuniang deal with it.
However, He Jiuniang felt that they were thinking too much, if it was really a valuable thing, the two county commanders would not dare to send it so blatantly, didn't they take the initiative to jump into the fire pit?
Liu Yuexiang took the initiative to step forward and salute, and took the initiative to say: "These are all gifts specially prepared by the little girl and her cousin for the Lotus girl, they are all things that the daughter's family likes to use, they are not worth a few dollars, and please ask Mrs. to accept them for the Lotus Girl." ”
She knew that the Lu family had somewhat listened to He Jiuniang's words, and getting He Jiuniang's approval meant that she had been recognized by the Lu family, and He Jiuniang was an extremely smart person, she didn't dare to be careful in front of He Jiuniang, it was better to be sincere.
He Jiuniang smiled and nodded, thinking that this Miss Liu is really a smart person, and a sentence about what her daughter's family likes to use shows the relationship, this is what they gave to Lotus, and it has nothing to do with the Lu family.
But everyone else checked, and they couldn't say that they didn't check it if they brought so much, so they opened it for inspection.
It is indeed all things for the daughter's family, Luo skirts, jewelry, rouge, fans or something, as well as some delicate and small vases and some fabrics, embroidery and the like.
Everything is exquisite, but not very expensive.
After checking it, it was not found that there was any entrainment of private goods.
The expressions of the others were sneering, but the Lu family showed a sincere smile, and the Lu family would not treat the people who could prepare gifts for the lotus so attentively.
It happened that Lianhua and Leizi also came out, and when they saw the gifts that the cousins had prepared for themselves, they were a little moved in their hearts.
She could feel the kindness emanating from the sisters, which was strange to say, obviously they hadn't had much contact before, but it made her feel that they had known each other for a long time.
She smiled knowingly, and thought it was nice to have two good friends of the same age.
