Chapter 159: Borrowing Money
Early the next morning, Lu Xiao made an appointment with Zeng Shaoqing to have morning tea at Bixiangju.
Zeng Shaoqing smiled and talked to him about the fact that the eldest son of the Pan family was frightened on horseback yesterday and almost didn't alarm half of the people in Shengjing City.
"I heard that the eldest prince of Pan and the concubine of Zhao Shangshu's family could not get married, so he secretly used some means to ruin Miss Zhao's reputation...... Tsk......"
Zeng Shaoqing's face was disdainful,
"I see that this person is really not very good, and it is a shame that the Zhao family has not been involved with the Pan family......"
Lu Xiao glanced at him, personally poured him tea, and said:
"What? If you are reluctant to marry this Zhao girl, you will marry yourself...... It's also a door-to-door match with your house, and your father won't object to it if you want to come......"
Zeng Shaoqing immediately panicked when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again:
"Don't! I'll just say that, where can I get to the point of marrying a wife? ”
After a pause, he thought of something again, and leaned in front of Lu Xiao and asked:
"By the way, have you heard that your brother-in-law wants to discuss marriage with the Wei family?"
Lu Xiao poured the tea for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Which Wei family?"
Zeng Shaoqing took a big sip of tea and said in surprise:
"Lang Zhongling Wei Wei's daughter-in-law Wei Wan! How? You don't even know about this? ”
Lu Xiao frowned slightly invisibly.
Is it her?
Li Taiwei was suspicious that Sheng Rubai had provoked Li Yao, and he turned around to discuss marriage with the Wei family...... This person...... It's not easy.
"When? Did he say yes? ”
Zeng Shaoqing pushed the empty cup to Lu Xiao, with a slight smug face:
"This matter is only a word, it was Lu Hou who asked my father to be the matchmaker, and he asked your brother-in-law what he meant, and he said that he listened to the arrangements of the elders......"
"In the next few days, my mother will meet with Mrs. Wei and privately explore the Wei family...... Thinking about it, there are two media, you and me, this matter should not be wrong! ”
Lu Xiaoman poured a cup of tea, but when Zeng Shaoqing reached out to get it, he stopped his hand.
Zeng Shaoqing looked over for some reason, and listened to Lu Xiao Zhengse:
"You've got to stop your mother first......"
Zeng Shaoqing was stunned:
"What? What's wrong? ”
Lu Xiao thought for a moment, and briefly told him about Mrs. Li's suspicion of Sheng Rubai and Li Yao.
Zeng Shaoqing's face changed after hearing this:
"This ...... What else can there be? If he really has someone else in his heart, why should he hide it? ”
Lu Xiao let go of Zeng Shaoqing's arm and said to him:
"If it was in the past, he would naturally choose Li Yao, but now what is the situation in the second room of the Li family, how can he destroy his future?"
Zeng Shaoqing frowned when he heard this, he knew that Lu Xiao and his righteous brother had some mismatch, but he didn't expect Lu Xiao to say such an evaluation of Sheng Rubai.
didn't wait for him to ask carefully, and listened to Lu Xiao again:
"That girl from the Wei family is not a good person, tell your mother to stay away from her...... You and your brothers and sisters in the house also explained, don't get involved with this girl......"
Zeng Shaoqing was even more surprised, Lu Xiao has never been embarrassed by his female dependents, how could he say that this pair is worthless today.
Lu Xiao was unable to do anything by his eyes, so he had to say roughly:
"This Wei Wan once showed affection to me in private, not a decent person......"
Zeng Shaoqing was shocked when he heard this!
Lu Xiao would never lie about this kind of thing, and when he said this, the girl of the Wei family was only afraid that it would be even more filthy than what he said!
He'll have to talk to his mother about this when he gets home......
Talking about family affairs, Zeng Shaoqing remembered another thing:
"Huh? Speaking of which...... Do you have any of the following things to do with the Lord of Chonghua? His Majesty didn't respond, so what did Li Xiang say? Is he really willing to give his daughter to you? ”
"Speaking of which, when did you fall in love with Mrs. Li? Why have I never heard you mention that this is suddenly going to marry the Li family? Robbing people with His Royal Highness the Prince, Lu Xiao, you can really ......"
Lu Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at him:
"I really want to know?"
Zeng Shaoqing nodded like pounding garlic.
Lu Xiao stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder, and said with a wicked smile:
"Okay...... Lend me some money first, and I'll talk to you later...... My brother has been strapped for money lately......"
Zeng Shaoqing immediately shrank his shoulders and stared at him vigilantly:
"Borrow money? Can you be short of silver? I don't read much, don't you want to trick me......"
Lu Xiao's arm secretly exerted force, and Zeng Shaoqing was stuck in the crook of his arm, unable to move, and still laughed on his face:
"My brother is so heart-to-heart with you, since he has opened up with you, can you agree?"
Zeng Shaoqing really wanted to smack him...... But he didn't dare!
Lu Xiao is obviously a year younger than himself, and he really wants to be embarrassed by his brother's self-proclaim!
He also asked Lu Xiao to invite him to morning tea so enthusiastically today, and personally poured tea and handed him water, he dug a pit here and waited for him to jump!
"How much?"
Zeng Shaoqing looked at Lu Xiao with a little weakness, Lu Xiao didn't look like a person who lacked silver, even if he spoke to him, he was afraid that there would be a lot of shortcomings.
Sure enough, Lu Xiao raised five fingers at him......
"Fifty taels?"
Zeng Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't have to deal with fifty taels of private money......
Who knew that Lu Xiao smiled at him meaningfully:
"Do you want to stop thinking about it?"
Zeng Shaoqing almost jumped up in shock when he heard this:
"Five hundred taels!? You...... What do you want so much silver for? ”
Lu Xiao said vaguely:
"Buying a house......
Previously, Mrs. Li divided half of his jewelry, which was only enough to make up a thousand taels. Yesterday, he Lao Tzu only gave him 500 taels, he asked someone to inquire before, how to say that the house also cost 3,000 taels, he can get 1,000 taels of his own private money, and the remaining 500 taels will count on Zeng Shaoqing......
Zeng Shaoqing's eyes widened at him like copper bells:
"What house costs so much silver? Are you planning to open a new house? ”
Lu Xiao pouted, he really couldn't say anything about this right now! hissed, and said to Zeng Shaoqing:
"What are you doing with so much inquiry? Hurry up and find a way to get some money for me to ......"
Zeng Shaoqing saw that he was in a hurry, but he covered it up, so he secretly kept his thoughts. Ordered people to go back to the house to get the silver tickets, and asked people to follow Gu Yu far away to see what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Xiao's gourd!
The guards who were following him returned to the house, and whispered in Zeng Shaoqing's ear, and Zeng Shaoqing's face turned green after hearing it!
stared at the guard who came back to report for a long time before he said bitterly:
"What! He actually took the master's money to buy the Qingfeng Pavilion? ”
Seifukan is an inconspicuous men's theater in the south of the city, the scale is not large, because there is a hot spring pool, it is barely a business.
Zeng Shaoqing couldn't think that Lu Xiao could really do this, so he secretly wiped a cold sweat, he turned his head to look at the guards beside him, and stopped talking:
"Can't you? Look at Lu Shizi, he ...... It doesn't look like that kind of person, does it? ”
The guards are embarrassed:
"Master, it's not good for my subordinates...... But what his subordinates inquired about was true, and it was indeed Lu Shizi who bought the Qingfeng Pavilion! ”
Zeng Shaoqing opened his mouth, this matter is strange! He has played with Lu Xiao since he was a child, and he has never seen him have that hobby......
Besides, he deliberately wanted to discuss marriage with the Li family, if this matter was spread out, it would be a big deal, and without Li Xiang doing anything, Lu Hou alone would be able to destroy him......
Hiss –
Zeng Shaoqing's heart jumped to his throat, and he was busy with the guards:
"You go to explore again and find out what Lu Shizi's intention is to buy this Qingfeng Pavilion? This must be done in a more secret way, so that no one else can know about it! ”
