Chapter 30: Mr. Qi Ershi
After Lu Luoxi danced the sword for a while, he just felt that he didn't enter the way, and it was difficult to be coherent in the sword dance.
This is far more difficult than he imagined, so let's wait for Qiu Lu to come back and ask him.
Lu Luoxi took the towel handed over by Mo Lan, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and handed the long sword in his hand to Mo Lan.
"How does the princess feel, do you want to go back to the room and rest."
After this period of getting along, Mo Lan, Nalan and Lu Luoxi have become a lot closer, and most of the words are caring.
"No, the peaches in the front yard should be ripe, I'll pick two and taste them."
"The princess's daughter's body, just rest, I'll go and help the princess pick it."
"This peach has to be picked yourself to be delicious, you know."
"Is that so?"
Looking at Mo Lan's puzzled eyes, Lu Luoxi smiled slightly, and stopped teasing her.
"I really want to help, I'll go to the basin of water when I'm done cleaning up, so I can wash the peaches."
Walking to the front yard, I looked at the peach tree in front of me, which was more than one person tall, and the upward trunk was not straight, but it was very straight.
Patches of emerald green leaves accompany the branches and buds, reflecting the red color of the fruits.
The huge peaches bent the peach branches and hung lightly to the earth.
Lu Luoxi stretched out his hand to pick three red and ripe peaches, took them to wash them, and ate them happily with Mo Lan.
"This peach is crisp and sweet, very delicious, leave this to Nalan."
Lu Luoxi didn't forget Nalan who went out to do errands at this time, and thought about picking one for her.
It is this kind of little things in life, like having delicious food to share together, that makes the relationship between the master and servant continue to heat up.
"Princess, the people of the Zhao family are here."
Lu Luoxi nodded, "Nalan, I left you a peach, you can go eat it." ”。
"Princess Xie."
Hearing that the princess had left a peach for herself, Nalan happily picked up the peach and walked to the back hall after thanking her.
Lu Luoxi signaled to Mo Lan, and Mo Lan walked out of the door to call the Zhao family's business talker in.
"Villain Zhao He, I have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
"No courtesy."
Zhao He, the person in charge of the Zhao family's business, looked loyal and respectful.
Lu Luoxi's first impression of Zhao He was good.
"Zhao He, I heard that business has been a little sluggish recently."
"The little incompetence, ashamed of the high hopes of the Zhao family, please atone for the princess."
Zhao He's voice was very nervous, a little trembling, revealing fear.
Zhao He's impression of Lu Luoxi is still stuck in the past, he often comes to the store to get money, and scolds himself.
Although I have heard from my buddy recently that Lu Luoxi's personality has improved a lot, he is still at a loss and a little scared.
"This palace doesn't mean to blame you, don't be afraid, you can tell me what the reason is."
Seeing Zhao He's frightened appearance, Lu Luoxi was also speechless for a while, was he very bad before?
Zhao He heard Lu Luoxi's gentle voice, not like he was blaming him, and his heart calmed down a lot.
"Recently, our Zhao family's business has been frequently attacked, and they will even know our low prices in advance, and they seem to know us very well."
"Then shopkeeper Zhao, what do you think is the reason?"
"I'm afraid that someone will eat inside and out."
After thinking for a while, Zhao He said what he thought.
Zhao He had considered all of this, but he was surrounded by old fellows for many years, and he really couldn't think of who it would be.
"Is there anything unusual about your bookkeeper lately?"
Lu Luoxi directly told the news he got from Shen Yangze, but she wasn't sure whether the news was true or not.
Zhao He was a little surprised when he heard the mention of Mr. Bookkeeper.
"This bookkeeper's name is Wen Ershi, and he is a friend of the villain, so it shouldn't be him."
"When did he come to our Zhao family?"
Lu Luoxi still believed in the handsome Shen Yangze a little in his heart, and tried to continue to ask to see if he could find any suspicions.
"Three years ago, our original bookkeeper was poached by the Qi family at a high price, so we recruited the current bookkeeper."
Hearing the Qi family, a trace of doubt rose in Lu Luoxi's heart.
Could it be a coincidence? If it is the Qi family, it is just to hit my Zhao family's business, and the layout is too early.
When Zhao He said about the Qi family, he also recalled it and remembered all kinds of things at that time.
After Mr. Zhao's account keeper was poached, he hit it off at first sight with the current account clerk Mr. Wen Ershi because of his hobby of chess.
Zhao He can do the position of the Zhao family's businessman, and he is naturally not an idle person.
"Dig it away, I like chess as much as I do," Zhao He instantly discovered the strangeness in it.
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the villain has a plan in his heart about this matter, and the villain will handle it."
Zhao Hezhong's face flashed with ruthlessness.
"It's so good, this kind of thing, this palace hopes that the Zhao family will not have it again in the future."
Lu Luoxi's tone was a little colder, and Zhao He also noticed Lu Luoxi's changes, and hurriedly replied respectfully:
"Rest assured, the eldest princess, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
Lu Luoxi nodded, affirming Zhao He's attitude.
"Mo Lan, pick some peaches from the courtyard and bring them back to Shopkeeper Zhao."
On the way back, Zhao He looked at the peach in his hand and thought back to what had just happened.
The princess has indeed changed a lot, and she is a lot more astute, and this combination of grace and power is also good.
Wen Ershi, Qi Shi.
The Qi family is a good means.
Zhao He gently wiped the peach in his hand with his cuff and took a hard bite.
Nighttime.
Lu Luoxi was in front of the bookcase, concentrating on practicing the words, and the words on the paper had become much better.
As Lu Luoxi put away his pen, a weak voice came into his ears.
"The little one is back."
Lu Luoxi looked at Qiu Lu in front of him, his face was pale, and he had lost the spirit of the past.
"You're hurt?"
In response to Lu Luoxi's concerned greetings, Qiu Lu waved his hand.
"Princess Xie, it's just a small injury, just two days of recuperation."
Lu Luoxi disagreed, and hurriedly called Nalan and Mo Lan.
"Nalan, go and call Zhang Pengpeng to come over."
"Mo Lan, help Qiu Lu go back to the room to rest."
In Qiu Lu's room, Lu Luoxi looked at Zhang Pengpeng who was giving Qiu Lu a pulse, and was a little worried.
"The princess doesn't have to worry, it's true that as Qiu Zhuangshi said, she just suffered a little internal injury, and it's fine."
Hearing Zhang Pengpeng's words, Lu Luoxi felt a little relieved, but he still had some doubts.
"That being the case, why is Qiu Lu's face so pale?"
"It should be caused by internal injuries and fatigue, there are a lot of tonics in the princess's mansion, I will prescribe a prescription, Qiu Zhuangshi should be cured soon after taking it."
"Today's incident, please don't mention it to others."
Zhang Pengpeng nodded, wrote the recipe and handed it to Mo Lan next to him.
After Lu Luoxi asked everyone to retreat, Qiu Lu slowly sat up.
After the rest just now, Qiu Lu's voice became much stronger.
"Xi'er and Li Lei have settled down, but Li Lei is seriously injured, and I am afraid that I will have to lie in bed for a few days."
