Chapter 104: Preparation
Not long after Lu Weimang returned to the mansion, Huo Jing's soft armor and special carriage arrived at the Lu mansion.
Everyone in the Lu family went up to visit, "Hey, girl, if your carriage closes the door from the inside, it will be like an iron wall." Even the prison of Dali Temple is not so strong. β
Lu Weimang's forehead was black, "Don't gloat, you are with me in the past few days." Share the blessings and the difficulties. The girl can't leave you alone. β
Lu Qingshan's eyes widened, "What, I really let others say it, you had an awkward relationship with Huo Hou, and you didn't even leave with Sanya?" Girl, don't be stupid, Huo Hou is for your good, I'm afraid that you are young and can't suppress your fame, but you will suffer from it. Don't let some villains provoke a few words, just fall for them, stay away from Huo Hou. Those who tell you the wind in their ears are all wishing that you would have trouble with Huo Hou, so they can be substituted! β
Lu Weimang glared at his father, "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, can you change the problem that came from your mouth?" β
Lu Qingshan scratched his head, "That's right, girl, if you and Huo Hou really have an awkward relationship, he won't give this carriage and soft armor." β
Lu Weimang was almost angry with his father's temper, so he simply ignored his father and only did his own thing.
"Butler!"
"Miss?"
"These are two red treasures, you send someone to send them to the Niu Guo Mansion, and when someone asks, they say that I gave this charity a share of the sale."
"Hey. The little one will go in person. β
Lu Weimang nodded, Niu Guogong's house is not as good as other places, and the housekeeper should go in person.
At the end of this day, Niu Guogong had already done a good job in the charity sale process, and the invitations were sent out one by one.
At this time, Niu Guogong, who was writing an invitation in person at the mansion, heard the reply from his subordinates, saying that the Lu Mansion had sent two top-level rubbers, and immediately understood that this was a promise fulfilled by Lu Weimang.
"Father, this Lu Weimang is so atmospheric, he was robbed of the position of the presiding officer of Ci'an Hall, and I don't care, this red treasure is the first lot we received in the charity sale. It's a good start for us to bazaar. β
Niu Guogong looked at Niu Tianyu opposite, "How many things have you just seen?" By whom? This Lu Weimang has changed from a country girl to today's six-grade master book, Huo Hou's fiancΓ©e, what do you think you rely on? It's okay, don't go out drinking with your fox friends and dogs, and learn more from others. A few years ago, the queen said that let the second princess and the third prince learn from Lu Weimang. You too! β
Niu Tianyu shrank his head and didn't dare to talk about Lu Weimang at will.
"Go, send these invitations over in person, and by the way, publicize the red treasures sent by Lu Weimang."
"Yes, Father!"
Niu Tianyu took the order to go out and looked at the invitation card in his hand, not only Qin Hou and others who were close to the Niu Guogong Mansion on weekdays, but also some people who didn't come and go often on weekdays, and this time they were also invited.
As Niu Tianyu personally came to the door to send out one invitation after another, but the night passed, and the whole Kyoto vibrate. Everyone found that they thought that this charity sale was a means to collect merit and fame, but they did not expect that it was far more powerful than they imagined, and for a while, people with roots in Kyoto were proud to have invitations.
The squire giants who have no foundation have all released rumors, not for the side, but for the sake of righteousness.
And Lu Weimang's two ruby treasures also set the tone for the charity sale, don't fool people with those melons and jujubes, you have to make efforts and take some real things out.
The people who originally wanted to take a few handwritten words to the top number changed their minds one after another, and instead sent some of the things they had collected at home to the Niu Guo Mansion.
The Niu Guo Mansion moved more quickly, and within two days, all the things collected were registered and advertised, which was not only to publicize the people who produced these things, but also to call on those who were interested in these objects to take pictures.
Not to mention, Lu Weimang's two rare rubberies attracted the attention of a group of ladies and young ladies very much.
Zhucui Pavilion also benefited, because everyone knew that this rare red treasure came from Zhucui Pavilion.
In the past few days, the shopkeeper of Zhucui Pavilion has been walking with the wind, not only because of the business to a higher level, but also because of the good name brought by Lu Weimang's active charity.
The pressure at the gate of Kyoto has been extremely high in the past few days, and many wealthy families have rushed to participate in the first charity event since the establishment of the Great Qian's dynasty, with their gold and silver and their families.
Under the cover of this bustling event, there are some people who usually dare not act rashly, taking advantage of the boiling in Kyoto, and also taking the opportunity to move.
The emperor's secret guards, as well as Huo Jing's personal guards, have spread their hands in the past few days, and they have faintly gained something. The plan of fishing in troubled waters and winning in chaos has initially achieved results.
After a secret meeting between Huo Jing and His Majesty, news came out in the palace that the highest bidders and auctioneers in this charity auction will receive His Majesty's imperial pen - "The House of Benevolence".
Well, there is no need for Niu Guogong to publicize it now, and half of the whole Kyoto is boiling.
I thought I had some roots, so I rushed to participate. Even the wealthy businessmen who were far away in Qionglai also set off for Kyoto.
In order to successfully start the first charity sale, Niu Guogong set up the charity sale and put it half a month later, which means that as long as you have the heart, Qionglai can also come over.
That is, the transportation is inconvenient, otherwise, people who have a little surplus at home will also come over to join in the fun. Now, the people of Kyoto can enjoy this excitement.
His Majesty and Huo Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, although there were many of them, if many ordinary people were also involved, their surveillance pressure would collapse.
In the Chunxi Hall, Lu Weimang looked at the empty table on the side. Huo Jing hadn't come to Chunxi Hall for a few days, and his busy feet didn't touch the ground, and he occasionally bumped into it, and he also told Lu Weimang to obediently wear soft armor and ride in a carriage.
Lu Weimang didn't know what it felt.
If she had just been married, she would have liked to do so, because she liked to be alone and was not used to sharing her space with others. Now that she is used to being in the same room with Huo Jing, after work, she can see each other when she looks up, he will disappear suddenly, but she is a little unaccustomed.
"Girl, I'm gone, why don't I see you?"
Lu Qingshan came to find his daughter and go home together.
Lu Weimang came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly packed his things, and went home with his father.
"Huo Hou has something to do, I see Huo Hou coming out of His Majesty these days, and his face is always solemn."
Lu Qingshan thought that his daughter was unhappy and helped Huo Jing explain.
Lu Weimang shook his head, "He's busy with him, I'm fine." β
Lu Qingshan looked at his daughter's face, "You don't look like you're okay." β
Lu Weimang only couldn't hear his father's muttering. My own father, why is he getting more and more naΓ―ve? Lu Weimang couldn't help but think.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the Lu Mansion, Cheng Mo did not come over for many days.
"Daddy, you go back to the house first, I'll say a few words to Cheng Mo."
Lu Qingshan turned around three times and went back uneasily.
Lu Weimang and Cheng Mo stood in front of the Lu Mansion.
"Master, this kid of the Cheng family won't want to take advantage of the situation, right? In the past few days, Huo Hou has not accompanied Miss back, and some idle panicked people in Kyoto have some discussions, this Cheng family boy, should have heard the discussion! β
Steward Lu clenched his fists, secretly observed the two people outside the mansion behind the door, and said indignantly.
Of course, he had a bad impression of Cheng Mo. When he went to pick up the young lady and go back to his house, the Cheng family kid was one step ahead of him, leaving his young lady and son-in-law behind and going back to his own house.
Lu Qingshan shook his head, "It's not like, but it's useless for him to have an idea." Who can compare with Huo Hou in this whole big Qian? β
Of course, Lu Weimang, the two people who were shrinking behind the door, didn't know, she just looked at Cheng Mo in front of her.
"I'm here this time to ask for your help, can I get an invitation to the bazaar?"
Cheng Mo's throat was a little dry and he couldn't speak, but he still said it hard.
Lu Weimang didn't ask much, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll have someone send you an invitation." β
As long as he asks for help in a dignified manner, she doesn't mind helping Cheng Mo when conditions permit. What she hates is that some people are cleverly using her.
Cheng Mo saw Lu Weimang's happy promise, and his heart was a little sour.
They used to be the best friends, and the older they get, the more they understand how rare it is to be so friendly and friends that I promise without asking anything.
But he hurt their friendship several times.
"Thank you."
After Cheng Mo finished speaking, he turned his head and got into his carriage.
Lu Weimang also turned around and went home.
"Girl, what is this Cheng family kid looking for you? He and his sister have 800 hearts and eyes, aren't we, it's better to have less contact? β
Lu Qingshan rubbed his hands and walked out from behind the door, taking the housekeeper who was also secretly rubbing.
Lu Weimang smiled, "Daddy, don't worry. With a few of their hearts, if they dare to do it to me, I will pout him. This time, he just wanted an invitation to the charity sale. β
Lu Qingshan's face softened, "That's good." After all, you are a young man. After that youth, people can't go back, and there's no need to make too much trouble. β
"Hmm." Lu Weimang nodded.
"Brother, what did Lu Weimang say?" Over there, Cheng Mo returned to the carriage, and Xiao Jin hurriedly asked, "The people in the uncle's family are all shallow-eyed people, if we can't get the invitation and let them know that we fell out with Lu Weimang, they will definitely sneer at us." The uncle's family is just a six-grade petty official, if there is no family help, they only rely on Yulu in Kyoto, and they can't survive at all, how can they still make a face to us? β
Cheng Mo looked at Xiao Jin with an angry face, his eyes were sour, and he hugged his only sister, "Xiao Jin, brother is sorry for you." When you need Brother the most, Brother will leave you in the old house, so that you can see the warmth and coldness of your eyebrows at a young age, so that you have deviated from your temperament. But it doesn't matter, Brother will accompany you in the future, and you won't stay at Uncle's house any longer. After this bazaar, no matter where my brother goes, he will take you with him, and sooner or later you will be able to correct your astray temperament. β
Xiao Jin was confused for a moment, and then retorted, "Brother, why do you think so?" It is only right for a woman to be in the inner house, so it is easy to find a good family in the future. I don't want to be like Lu Weimang, pie fell from the sky, and was given by His Majesty to marry Huo Hou, but there are many children of eunuchs in Kyoto, if there is a family in the middle of the road, I am happy to marry me as a wife, in that way, my brother will have a backer in the future. β
The more Cheng Mo listened, the more sad he became, "You are still young, don't listen to the bastard words of your aunt and cousin in the future, follow your brother, and your brother will not harm you." β
"Of course I listened to my brother." Little Jin said innocently again.
