Xu Da said this, Xu Miaojin didn't feel that there was anything wrong, after all, Lu Ning's indicators were very good, and he was able to pass his father's inspection.

Early the next morning, Xu Da deliberately put on makeup, pretended to be a businessman, and came to Changning County.

At noon, Lu Ning returned home after finishing work, and was basking in the sun reading a book on a recliner.

There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and Fauber came to open the door, and when he saw a middle-aged man standing outside, he asked.

"May I ask who you are, do you want to find our young master for something? He had just returned and was resting in the courtyard. ”

Xu Da smiled slightly, and then said to Fu Bo very politely.

"Thank you uncle for opening the door for me, I am a passing merchant, I am a little tired after passing here, I want to come to ask for a glass of water to drink, I don't know if it is convenient?"

Fu Bo smiled for a moment before saying to Xu Da.

"Of course it's very convenient, our young master has said a long time ago that being convenient with others is convenient with yourself, please come in and take a rest first, and I'll prepare it for you."

Xu Da followed Fu Bo into the courtyard, and happened to see Lu Ning lying in the sun.

Seeing the guests, Lu Ning said hello lazily, and then continued to drink sour plum soup and bask in the sun.

Originally, he wanted to come to check whether his future son-in-law was suitable, but seeing Lu Ning like this, Xu Da naturally felt a little disliked.

Just as he was about to say something, Fauber came over with three drinks, lemon juice and iced tea with ice, and sour plum soup at room temperature.

Xu Da drank all three cups directly, and wondered in his heart, why is this thing so delicious? As a national prince, I have never had such a pleasure before.

After drinking other people's drinks, it would be inappropriate to say anything more, after all, eating other people's mouths is soft.

He stepped forward and started a conversation with Lu Ning.

"This is Changning County, I heard that Xiaoyou is the county order of this county and was once named a viscount by the imperial court, this is really gratifying, although I am just a passing merchant, I am also very happy for you."

Lu Ning just regarded it as an ordinary businessman, of course, he didn't know that this was his father-in-law examining himself, and the bitter water in his heart was poured out directly.

He directly sent an invitation to Xu Da and said.

"This is in the courtyard, and if it doesn't seem respectful to the guests to speak here, let's go to the house."

Xu Da thought about it for a while, and felt that this guy was still quite polite, so he followed him to the hall, and the two sat down separately.

Seeing Lu Ning crossing Erlang's legs while tasting there, it seemed that he was bored, Xu Da said.

"May I ask Xiaoyou, what do you think of the current imperial court? Although I am a businessman, I am also very concerned about national affairs and want to hear your thoughts. ”

Lu Ning directly made his face confused, he secretly thought in his heart that the merchants were not doing business well, studying the affairs of the court all day long, and no one invited you to be an official, isn't there something wrong?

However, since the guests came to the house, he could only treat them politely, so he said with a smile.

"You don't know this guest, whether I'm a magistrate or a viscount, it's all falling from the sky, I'm not interested in it at all, if I have to choose life, I'd rather eat at home and wait for death to be a gentleman."

Xu Da heard Lu Ning's words, and almost squirted out all the three drinks he had just drunk.

This is the viscount of the imperial court, although it is nothing in front of his duke, but he also enjoys the crown belt from the first product.

This is a blessing that it is impossible for many people's ancestral tombs to be cultivated in eight lifetimes, but it makes Lu Ning look like he has suffered a crime, this is the Versailles Bensai.

He also felt that since this guy was going to be his son-in-law in the future, he couldn't have this kind of thought, so he persuaded him bitterly.

"You are still very young, and now you are already a viscount, and you still have decades of career after that, whether it is an official position or a title, there is a great possibility of improvement, how can you give up on yourself so much."

At this time, Lu Ning had a simple idea in his heart, that is, to let the merchant have another cup of tea and leave quickly.

What I know is that you came here to have a cup of tea and rest, and those who don't know think it's my own father, this class is too boring.

Lu Ning hurriedly changed the topic, and he said to Xu Da with a smile.

"I don't know how much silver you can get a year in a layman's foot, and I don't mean anything else, just for the people's livelihood, I just want to know something."

Xu Lao thought for a while, and felt that he couldn't say too much or too little, so he replied with a smile.

"I have about five or six hundred taels of silver a year, which is enough to feed a large family."

Lu Ning thought about it for a while, seeing that Xu Da was very shrewd and capable, he should be regarded as a practitioner, and a spirit of martial arts made him very useful.

So, he immediately sent an invitation to Xu Da.

"I think so, if you want, stay in Changning County to take care of the winery business for me, and I will give you 1,500 taels of silver every year, so that you don't have to run around and be tired."

Xu Da thought to himself, this guy is simply a loser, just a person can directly offer such a high annual salary, you won't be responsible for printing Da Ming treasure banknotes, right?

But although I think so, I am still a little moved, Lu Ning's idea is not reliable, but he is still a good person.

Sometimes, being a good person can solve many problems, at least after marriage, you can love your wife.
