Text Chapter 652 Auction House
Now that this hosta has been taken out, Meng Jingwen no longer stays, and takes Qiang'er and walks in the direction that Ling Hai walked before.
After Meng Jingwen and Qiang'er walked for a while, as Meng Jingwen thought, they saw Ling Hai with a pestle at the end of the street, and Ling Hai also saw Meng Jingwen and the two, stepped forward and saluted and said, "Miss Meng, my son-in-law is in the attic in front, and I ask Miss Meng to walk a little further." β
I don't know if Ling Hai's attitude has improved a lot at this time, Meng Jingwen listened comfortably, and then didn't care about what he said before, there was still a long way to go, so he looked not far away, and saw that the direction Ling Hai pointed to was still a small quaint commercial street, and there were a lot of items in the streets and alleys along the road, all of which were there to attract passers-by along the way to come and buy and sell things.
"That auction house is also your son-in-law's?" Meng Jingwen finally determined that what Ling Hai was pointing to was a pavilion that looked quite grand at the faΓ§ade, just the decoration in front of the pavilion, and the appearance of the watchtower painting, which was already extraordinary, and the cost was expensive, and it was not surprising that it was Lu Shangjue's.
However, at this time, Ling Hai on the side shook his head and said, "Miss misunderstood, this Wen Yaoju is not an property in the name of my son-in-law, but in the name of the other rich man of Shili Lanfang, which was co-founded in cooperation with the capital. β
"In other words, this Wen Yaoju is from Ten Miles Lanfang?"
Meng Jingwen was of course surprised at this time, if she hadn't known about Shili Lanfang before, Meng Jingwen sneered at Ling Hai's words, and didn't have much feeling, but these days she has more or less dealt with people from Shili Lanfang, Meng Jingwen just knows that if this Wen Yaoju is Shili Lanfang, then this Shili Lanfang must also be financially not to be underestimated.
Shili Lanfang, who already has eighteen Wen Yaoju in the capital, said that his financial resources are mediocre, so Meng Jingwen will not believe it if he is killed.
Regarding Meng Jingwen's doubts, Ling Hai did not hesitate at all, nodded, when he came out, he asked Lu Shangjue about some information revealed in the exchange with Meng Jingwen.
Among them, Lu Shangjue just said that everything about Shili Lanfang can be told to Meng Jingwen, anyway, Lu Shangjue knows in his heart, and the people who know the real controller of Shili Lanfang are no more than two digits, which does not include Ling Hai.
So at that moment, Ling Hai knew that Meng Jingwen was interested in Shili Lanfang and was willing to answer what Meng Jingwen asked, but for the really confidential things, he was naturally powerless.
Meng Jingwen also knew this, and then changed the direction again and asked, "Brother Ling Hai, do you know that among these ten miles of Lanfang, is your son-in-law strong, or is there another rich man?" β
When Ling Hai heard this, he immediately had an embarrassed look on his face, although he didn't know how to perceive people's hearts and figure out the intentions of others like Lu Shangjue, but he had been by Lu Shangjue's side for a long time.
Over time, that is, he can understand some normal careful thoughts, for example, the real meaning of Meng Jingwen's words at this time, it just so happens that these words are still the answers he knows after staying in Shili Lanfang for some time.
"In which aspect of no way, it is definitely the other rich man who is better." Ling Hai simply confessed now, anyway, he also listened to Lu Shangjue's unintentional mention at the beginning, this should not be regarded as a violation of his son's intentions, thinking of this, Meng Jingwen looked at him The expression on his face was much calmer.
Although Meng Jingwen only got this seemingly inconsequential confirmation, how could she not understand the significance of this point if she was as smart as her.
No matter what point it is, it is much higher than Lu Shangjue, which undoubtedly shows that the other rich man of this ten miles of Lanfang is not only a big man in the court of the capital, but also a person who has a lot of wealth.
Meng Jingwen already had a few candidates who met these conditions in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face, and she immediately stopped talking to Ling Hai, and walked in the direction that Ling Hai was pointing.
Soon, Meng Jingwen walked into the attic through the antique gate of Wen Yaoju's watchtower, and when Meng Jingwen and Qiang'er walked in, they not only found that the scene inside was very different from the lively scene outside, but it was really like the rumored that the outside of Wen Yaoju's attic was very quiet, and only when they got inside, it was the same lively scene as other auction houses.
Meng Jingwen looked at the environment outside, compared with the streets outside, not only was it lively and quiet with no waves, but also the trickling water under the pavilions and pavilions, as well as the distant bamboo forest landscape, were all a little bit elegant and rare outside, which made Meng Jingwen have to be curious about the owner behind the ten miles of Lanfang again.
Every landscape is done very carefully, and under the meticulousness, it is not everyone's temperament, it is really original.
While Meng Jingwen sighed, there seemed to be something in her mind that wanted to be outlined by the scene in front of her, but in the end, she couldn't remember where this familiar scene had appeared.
"Miss Meng, don't come unharmed." There was a voice in the distance, Meng Jingwen looked sideways, and saw that behind the rockery, a man's figure walked out, Meng Jingwen looked at Lu Shangjue, who had not been seen in the past few days, and there were doubts in her eyes.
Yes, no matter who it is, they will wonder why Lu Shangjue at this time is not as ruddy as before, but so pale and weak in front of him, Lu Shangjue will come over with his waist straight, try his best to hide his weakness, and say to Meng Jingwen: "I'm sorry Miss Meng, I didn't pay attention a few nights ago, and I was infected with the wind cold, so that I see Miss Meng like this now, please forgive me." β
How dare Lu Shangjue say that it was because of Mu Lingtian, so he had to find another excuse, and the doubts in Meng Jingwen's eyes were even greater.
She looked at Lu Shangjue's dark eyes, wanting to find out why Lu Shangjue wanted to hide the reason why he was weakened by a sword wound, but this Lu Shangjue was also a stubborn temper, and his eyes did not mean to avoid it at all, so he immediately said to Meng Jingwen with a smile again: "Please invite Miss Meng over tonight, there is still something to discuss." β
was reminded by Lu Shangjue, Meng Jingwen also remembered, Ling Hai came over with them, and indeed said that Lu Shangjue had something, at this time Meng Jingwen didn't speak, just nodded, which was considered to be a response to Lu Shangjue, Lu Shangjue immediately turned around and took Meng Jingwen inside.
It stands to reason that at this night, it is still a little abrupt to walk into a strange mansion with a man who has just known each other for a short time, but Meng Jingwen was between Lu Shangjue and Lu Shangjue was willing to ask the young lady of the seven ten miles of Lanfang to help and stop Shangguan Yuyu for a while, from this point, Meng Jingwen had already regarded Lu Shangjue as a friend, so Lu Shangjue took Meng Jingwen inside, and she didn't have too much worry.
"Miss Meng, do you know some things in the court recently? The matter of the Nine Emperor Princes was originally about the face of the royal family, but His Majesty was only angry at the beginning, and then he didn't see any measures, which inevitably made people a little confused. β
There was still some distance along the way, and then Lu Shangjue, who led the way in front, just said some of the current sensitive court trends, which really aroused the interest of Meng Jingwen behind.
Of course, Meng Jingwen was interested, because this was a deed related to Mu Lingtian, in other words, it was also related to her, when the news of the Nine Emperor Princes' battlefield spread throughout the capital, Meng Jingwen was shocked, shocked that Shangguan Yan, who was ordered to go on the expedition, would actually risk being punished and let the Nine Emperor Princes die in vain.
Even if this is a ruthless battlefield, but when it comes to accountability, Shangguan Yan can't get rid of it, but after that, Meng Jingwen didn't hear the slightest news that the emperor was going to punish Shangguan Yan, and then Meng Jingwen combined with another incident about the eastern suburbs mine, and suddenly realized.
"Lu Gongzi is so smart and intelligent, can't he figure it out?" Meng Jingwen had a smile on the corner of her mouth, she knew in her heart that this Lu Shangjue was not stupid, she might know the emperor's meaning better than her, and she wanted to ask this knowingly, it was nothing more than trying to set her tone.
Lu Shangjue listened to Meng Jingwen's words, and immediately smiled, and said: "Shang Jue also heard some trouble, saying that His Majesty wants to kill chickens and monkeys today, and it just happens to tie up the Sima family and the royal family more tightly, so that the other two families are afraid that there is not much sweetness to eat." β
Lu Shangjue said his thoughts, but at this time, Meng Jingwen was laughing, laughing at this Lu Shangjue is still defensive, no wonder, in the last night, Lu Shangjue was also like this, in her questioning, only little by little said what she thought in her heart, no business, no treachery, no business, sure enough, it verified this principle.
Maybe it was because he spent some time gambling with Ling Hai before, but now Meng Jingwen doesn't have much mind to go around in circles with Lu Shangjue, and then said sharply: "Actually, Lu Gongzi knows better in his heart that now is an opportunity to eliminate the Sima family, isn't it?" β
Meng Jingwen's words really frightened Lu Shangjue, who had always been calm, Lu Shangjue immediately stopped, looked at Meng Jingwen beside him, and the previous smile faded at this moment, standing on the edge of the corridor, silent.
Meng Jingwen felt a little proud in her heart, and immediately added what she said before, and said again: "On the surface, the Sima family handed over the eastern suburbs mine to the royal family in accordance with the emperor's wishes, and finally tied up with the royal family, forming an opposing situation with the other two, but Lu Gongzi knew very well in his heart the key point in this, that is, if the two of them joined hands again to form an alliance and like the Sima family, handed over the eastern suburbs iron mine to the royal family, promised not to ask again, and, It can also give the royal family the resources they can grasp in the Chu State. β
Meng Jingwen looked at Lu Shangjue's eyes at this time and became sharp, but she didn't plan to stop, and said again: "In this way, as long as the royal family betrays the Sima family, it will be the biggest winner, for the royal family, the threat brought by the two families is far greater than that of one, and it is only slightly neglected the Sima family, and it is the other two who finally take action to rectify the Sima family, these three families form a trip to troubled waters, this situation is obviously beneficial to the royal family, why not do it?" β
Yes, this is the real key, this is the real idea in the emperor's heart, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, it is really a good plan!
At the moment when Meng Jingwen's words fell, she stared at the man in front of her, watching how this man was going to act next.
In such a situation of three major families fighting, Meng Jingwen believes that the Lu family of Jingzhou, who has already had a vision for the court in the capital, is of course happy to see it, and at this critical moment, Lu Shangjue, as one of the ten masters of the Lu family, entered Beijing openly, Meng Jingwen would not believe it, only for the so-called love of children and daughters would venture to this undercurrent capital.
"Now that you know my intentions, why did you come to the appointment?" The words have already come to this point, Lu Shangjue knows that Meng Jingwen also has insight into his intention to enter Beijing, so, as a villain who wants to help the other two families get rid of the Sima family, shouldn't Meng Jingwen be extremely disgusted?
"It is precisely because I don't want my friend's family to be harmed that I will come to the appointment and negotiate terms with you, although this sounds a bit of a joke, but even if the patriarch of the Lu clan is here, he will be moved by the conditions I proposed."
Meng Jingwen looked at Lu Shangjue calmly, and Lu Shangjue also looked up with a calm face, not at all like a child who was talking nonsense and didn't know the severity, and then he was curious in his eyes, curious about what kind of conditions this Meng Jingwen had, who could persuade the Lu clan behind him not to be ruthless to the Sima clan.
Regarding Lu Shangjue's attentive appearance, Meng Jingwen knew that her words had successfully attracted Lu Shangjue's attention, and immediately said with a smile: "The reason why the Lu family wants to deal with the Sima family is nothing more than to divide the interests of the Sima family, and strive to occupy the previous position of the Sima family in the court in this partition, replace the Sima family, so as to grasp the bargaining chips that can negotiate terms with the emperor, and finally let the Lu family settle in the capital." β
