"Third Prince, do you recognize it?"

Early in the morning, several sons and nephews of the Niu Guogong family came over and asked some about the customs of Shu County, after all, the work is in full swing at the Qionglai Pass. According to the news from the eldest prince of Niu Guogong, there is gold and silver everywhere, as long as you catch this outlet, pigs can also fly to the sky. So Niu Guogong's sons and nephews were fiercely moved.

The Niu family is prosperous, in addition to the proud son of Niu, there are also two sons and three sons are in the army, and the rest of the people, except for wandering in Kyoto, do not have a particularly good opportunity.

The heat on Qionglai's side this time made their hearts move. The future is uncertain for a while, and it is okay to get some money, as the eldest brother said in the letter, then the horse gang will not talk about it, and the grass brought with him when he goes will come back into gold. Even the merchants who followed the caravan also made a fortune one by one.

At the palace banquet yesterday, they openly and secretly inquired with themselves and others about the details of Qionglai's side, who let Niu Dagongzi preside over the pass over there.

Therefore, after returning home yesterday, everyone took advantage of the wine and told Niu Guogong that they wanted to go to Qionglai to find an opportunity.

Niu Guogong did not object. My own sons and nephews have something to do in their hearts, which is much better than those gentlemen wandering around Kyoto. It just so happened that he saw that Lu Weimang was very temperamental and eye-catching yesterday, so he simply brought his own nephew today to ask Lu Weimang about the situation.

After all, Lu Weimang and Huo Jing went to Shu on an errand together, but everyone in Kyoto had a lot of discussions.

Lu Weimang was a little stunned in the face of the Niu family's nephew's question. She doesn't know the details, she doesn't know the details, how can she give others tips casually? Everyone has different personalities, different things they are good at, and the same method, maybe this person uses it and it works, and that person can mess up. Therefore, Lu Weimang said something about the local situation, and didn't dare to say anything else. Temporarily sent away the Niu family, Lu Weimang found the third prince and asked about the personality of the Niu family's nephews and their relationship with Huo Jing.

As for Qin Xuan, it can only be said that the three-year-old generation ditch is not only applicable in modern times, but also applicable in ancient times. Qin Xuan was younger than them, so he was not enough to play with this wave of people.

Seeing that Lu Weimang rarely took the initiative to come to him, the third prince asked about the situation of the Niu family as soon as he opened his mouth, and originally wanted to take a Qiao, but thinking of Huo Jing's character, he endured it again. replied seriously at the moment, "Everyone in the Niu family follows Niu Guogong's temper, and they are straightforward in their words and deeds, sometimes although they offend people, everyone knows that they have no bad intentions." As for the relationship with Yuan Bai, it can only be said that when they were children, they all let Yuan Bai suppress and beat, so if you give them some advice, it can be regarded as compensating for Yuan Bai. ”

Lu Weimang was speechless, "I can replace General Huo?" Moreover, I don't think it is necessary to compensate General Huo either. When they were pressed and beaten, there must have been a reason to be beaten, and General Huo always did things for a reason. ”

The third prince smiled, "Okay, okay, no need to compensate, but it's really a good thing that you have this intersection." After a few months, my father will reward you for Qionglai's affairs, and when the time comes, you will not be an unknown little person, you should always have some of your own connections, and you can't be blind to everything. Let's just say that everyone in the Niu family, you still have to ask someone to ask me, what if I am in the palace and it is inconvenient to come out? You always have to have a friend who can ask questions. The Niu family is just right for you, they are all straight-tempered, you should be able to say it. ”

The third prince said meaningfully, Lu Weimang nodded when he heard it, "I know, I'm in trouble with the third prince today." ”

Lu Weimang bowed down to thank him, and the third prince waved his hand and left.

With the bottom in his heart, Lu Weimang slowly thought of countermeasures.

At this time, the fire over there is cooking oil, and everyone in the Niu family is passing at this time, and the strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, in case there is a fight, it is not good. After all, in the face of interests, family background is sometimes not easy. It's better to jump out of Qionglai and start from the south of the Yangtze River. Jingyang Erzhou has always been prosperous, silk, tea production is amazing, as long as these things can be transported to Qionglai, it is a big shipper sought after by everyone, after all, Qionglai people know that at this time the trade route has been opened, and the one who has goods is the uncle.

Moreover, transporting goods from Jingyang Erzhou to Qionglai is extremely difficult for others, but for the Niu family, it is a trivial matter. With the family background of the Niu family, not to mention the partial generals along the way, only the Niu family's own escort is enough to escort this way.

Moreover, the Niu family opened the way and opened up the trade route from Jingyang Erzhou to Qionglai, which is also very important for the next development of Qionglai.

After figuring out this, Lu Weimang first went to see His Majesty, reported this matter to His Majesty in private, and then sent a letter to the Niu family.

Maybe the Niu family is really concerned about Qionglai, Lu Weimang sent a letter on the front foot, and everyone from the Niu family came over on the back foot.

The leader is Niu Tianyu, the son of the Niu family, and his cousins Niu Xue'an and Niu Xuerong.

"Why does Lord Lu want to teach me?"

Niu Tianyu is clever in the end, knowing that what Lu Weimang said in the morning is his duty, and he will pass on the message again at this time, that is love. Therefore, it is very polite to speak.

Lu Weimang is also a straight to the point, and said directly.

"I can't talk about teaching, I just have a suggestion. If you want to make a small fuss and earn pocket money, this is the right time to go to Qionglai. If you want to make a difference, you can consider going to Jingyang Erzhou to have a look. ”

The three brothers glanced at each other, and Niu Tianyu leaned over and stared at Lu Weimang, who was sitting opposite, "What do you say?" ”

Lu Weimang spread out and said directly, "Over there are too many people in Qionglai now, and the water can't be splashed, you might as well go to Jingyang Erzhou to purchase some goods that are in demand in Qionglai and transport them to Qionglai." As for what to buy and how much to buy, I believe your eldest brother will tell you, and my advice is that the more the better. In this way, you are not outsiders who have been ostracized by the local people of Qionglai, but the big shippers that everyone needs to befriend. ”

Niu Tianyu and the others were suspicious in their eyes, looking at each other, unable to make up their minds.

That's right, no matter how extraordinary their status is, after all, they are teenagers who have never been out of Kyoto, and it is normal to not know the way of buying and selling since they were children.

"I'm not afraid of Lord Lu's jokes, we haven't done these business things seriously before, so we have to go back and discuss it first."

Niu Tianyu said brightly.

Lu Weimang didn't care about their attitude, only said, "I'm just making a suggestion, whether you adopt it or not, you have to make your own decision." Moreover, after you have made a plan, the transportation of people and routes along the way needs to be well planned, and it is not something that can be set with a pat on the head, so it is only right for you to go back and study it carefully. ”

Niu Tianyu and the others suddenly seemed to know that they still needed to solve the problems of manpower planning, so they solemnly bowed and hurried back to the house.

As for the outcome of their discussion, Lu Weimang didn't care. She's done what she can do, and the side has nothing to do with her.

Next, Lu Weimang's life finally returned to calm, and only occasionally when he was in the upper office, he was recognized by some nobles. They would point to Lu Weimang and say, "Isn't this the little girl who played the drum at the palace banquet that day?" There is. Some even stretched out their thumbs and signaled to her, and Lu Weimang responded with a smile.

The benefits of smiling have been deeply realized by Lu Weimang recently. She has always been silent, and people who know her character don't care, but people who don't know her will think that this person is cold and big.

But since his father told Lu Weimang about his concerns that day, Lu Weimang deliberately smiled when people expressed curiosity and kindness.

Lu Weimang has thought about it, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. She is naturally reticent and cold, and she doesn't force herself to respond enthusiastically to others, but she can be polite to defuse.

As for those that can't be resolved, she can only attribute it to no fate, and even have malice towards her, so there's no need to care. The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.

After four or five days, Niu Tianyu took two cousins to visit Lufu.

Lu Qingshan was very happy, he was happy to see his children make more friends. After all, except for General Huo who came once that year and Qin Xuan came a few times, the people on the side never came.

It can be seen that although Lu Weimang and Chengyang Changfeng show different personalities, they are both deeply influenced by Lu Weimang, not only in their style of acting, but also in their way of behaving in the world.

Lu Qingshan warmly welcomed Niu Tianyu and the others, and asked the housekeeper to inform Lu Weimang.

When Lu Weimang appeared in the lobby, he inevitably had a trace of resentment. Who will come to the door to disturb others on their hard days off?

However, Lu Weimang was not very familiar with the Niu family after all, so it was not good to speak directly, so he only took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then talked to Niu Tianyu and the others.

"Why are you here?" Lu Weimang asked directly.

Although Niu Tianyu and the others opposite her felt that Lu Weimang's tone was a little stiff, they thought that they had come too early, and Lu Weimang had not fully woken up.

"Lord Lu's suggestion a few days ago, I passed the book to my eldest brother, and my eldest brother agreed very much, and asked me to come to the door to solemnly thank Lord Lu. Father, that's what it means. ”

Lu Weimang shook his head, "The prince and the eldest prince are too polite, I just told you what I thought, and it depends on you how to operate next." ”

Niu Tianyu continued, "This time I came to say goodbye to Lord Lu. We are ready to leave for Jingzhou in a moment. If it goes well together, you will probably be able to return to Beijing before the lunar month. At that time, I will bring a generous gift and come to thank Lord Lu. ”

Lu Weimang's face that was still immature before meeting was so solemn, he couldn't help but be solemn himself, "Then I wish you a smooth journey." By the way, there are many dense forests in Jingyang Erzhou, and I have a special potion here, which you can spray on your body to prevent mosquito bites. ”

Although it was the end of August and September soon, it was still the time when mosquitoes were prevalent in the south.

Lu Weimang asked everyone to wait and go to the room to get the toilet water made last time. Ancient plants are wild, medicinal properties and fragrance are very strong, anyway, Lu Weimang's homemade flower water experiments at home, never bitten by mosquitoes.

Lu Weimang took three large bottles and handed them to the Niu family, "Be careful all the way." ”

Everyone in the Niu family ended up with a small jar of flower dew and water, and clasped their fists and saluted.

"Well, farewell."
