Chapter 90: The warehouse is on fire
The green kite didn't say anything more, and stayed with him patiently for a while.
It wasn't until Sun Miao drove over to pick him up again that Shi Shiran said goodbye to Master Lu.
lifted the curtain and got into the carriage, but I didn't expect Ning Xin to be sitting inside.
She wore a pink gown today, and her white skirt was decorated with a few cherry blossoms.
The green kite was very excited to see her.
As soon as the carriage was on the road, she hurriedly asked Ning Xin, "Do I need to do anything?" ”
She hasn't played enough of this play!
Ning Xin shook her head and said with her disappointed expression: "No need, everything that needs to be done has been done, we just have to wait for the result!" ”
……
Before the crossing, Ning Xin had always felt that she was a person with upright roots and awe-inspiring spirit.
Everything is put on the bright side, and he never plays tricks and calculates.
But wait until you wear it here, and become this little bit.
But she suddenly found that if many things were really clear, then her chances of winning would be too small.
For example, Lu Mingyuan's incident this time.
Secretly, Lu Mingyuan is a pervert and wants to open a harem in the academy.
This is really the scum that should be kicked out.
According to her past thoughts, she should have gone to the academy to make a good fuss, let everyone know about Lu Mingyuan's evil deeds, and then the mountain chief came forward and kicked him out of the academy.
But when you think about it, if you do it, the risk is too great.
First of all, Lu Mingyuan was able to come to Huainan Academy to study because his family donated a teaching house to the academy.
If the wealthy Lu family is kicked out of the dormitory alone, in order to save face, he may not do anything in the future.
Secondly, she knew that her father was a thin-skinned person with strong self-esteem.
It's okay to solve this kind of thing privately, if everyone in the academy knows about it, then her father won't necessarily be uncomfortable!
Besides, the hospital exam is about to take place, so she can't do anything that affects her father's mood at this time.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Ning Xin chose a two-pronged path.
Let Lu Mingyuan and the Lu family get into trouble, and let him get out of the academy by himself.
Let the Lu family also manage the mess of the academy flawlessly.
Now, the stage has been set up, and Ning Xin is just waiting to watch the play.
Of course, Ning Xin didn't see the drama that night.
The person who really saw this scene was Wei Qin.
She came to visit Father-in-law Xu, who was eating in this restaurant, as the shopkeeper of Rouge Fang.
Unexpectedly, it was such a "coincidence" that I bumped into the scene where Master Lu was scolded by the other party.
"Do you know who this shipment is for?! How dare you fool the Sprinkler like this?! Are your wings stiff and you feel like you can't do it anymore? ”
This father-in-law Xu is in his early forties, his face is white and beardless, except for his thin voice, he usually can't tell that he is a eunuch at all.
But at this time, he was furious, he also raised his orchid finger, flipped it with one hand and inserted it into his waist, and pointed at the landing master with the other hand.
The door of the private room where the two of them sat was not closed tightly, and as soon as Wei Qinkan turned around, he happened to see Master Lu's panicked face.
"Father-in-law Xu, where are you talking about, this batch of goods is for all the ladies in the harem, how dare you fool you?"
As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a silver ticket worth one hundred taels from his pocket and tried to stuff it into Gonggong Xu's hand flatteringly.
can be thrown away by the other party.
"Don't take these things|Dirty your eyes!"
The silver ticket was thrown to the ground, and Master Lu was completely stunned.
The business with the palace can be done for so many years, and the money to give some money to the relationship must be indispensable.
Especially this father-in-law Xu, it has been about ten years since the two first met.
Usually give money, when does he have a reason not to want it??
What's wrong with this today, to make such a resolute look.
Master Lu didn't understand, so he had to ask in a low voice: "Father-in-law Xu, you explain it plainly, what's going on?" ”
Seeing that his attitude was more sincere, Gonggong Xu's anger also eased.
Squinted at him: "Ruyue, come here." ”
As she spoke, a young girl in an emerald robe stepped out from behind the screen.
The girl held a fan in her hand, her head bowed, her cheeks shrunk behind the fan, and the sound seemed to be sobbing.
Master Lu still doesn't know why.
Although eunuchs cannot be human, their desires between men and women are no less than those of others.
This Xu Gonggong is especially.
Every time I go out, I will find one or two beautiful girls to take with me to enjoy.
It's like an emperor going on patrol.
But the others, Xu Gonggong got tired of taking it a few times.
It's just this Ruyue girl, I don't know what evil magic she has used, it's been almost ten years, and she has been taken by Gonggong Xu all the time.
Master Lu has seen it many times, but in his opinion, this Ruyue girl is just whiter and more tender than others, and she is not better than other girls.
"This ...... Isn't this the girl who is like the moon, why is she crying? He asked.
It's okay not to ask, but when I asked, the girl behind the fan cried even louder.
Gonggong Xu whispered: "Don't cry, isn't the Sprinkle family already angry for you!" Take the fan off and show it to him. ”
A soft hum came from behind the fan.
Immediately after, there was an exclamation from Master Lu.
"What's going on?"
I saw that this girl who had always been tender and fair-skinned in the past was almost disfigured.
That face is black and yellow, so it's not lively.
It's like you've been wiped with stove ash.
"Hmph, you're still asking me what's going on! It's time for the Sprinkler family to ask you what's going on! Father-in-law Xu slapped the table and threw a small white porcelain bottle on the table.
The purchase of harem ladies has always been careful and cautious.
The ladies of the harem have relied on their posture and color to serve people all their lives, so they attach great importance to their faces.
This also requires these palace people to be extra 10,000 careful, not to bring poor quality things back to the palace.
If the ladies use these things to rot their faces, then the palace people who buy them will be the first to be killed.
So although buying this errand is a fat shortage, it is not so easy to do.
Father-in-law Xu has been able to do it for so many years, all thanks to his carefulness and prudence.
Every time I pick up the goods, I will first ask someone to take some samples back and give them to the women around me.
If it's okay, you dare to deliver in large quantities.
before he dared to take it back to the palace.
There was no problem in previous years, but this year is good, the thing sent by the Lu family rubbed on Ruyue's face, and it turned a jade-like beauty into a yellow-faced woman by the stove all of a sudden.
It's quite uncomfortable to look at.
Gonggong Xu's face was cold, and he stared at Master Lu's eyes: "You are joking with the head of the Sprinkle family, if this thing is sent to the harem mother, not only the Sprinkle family, but the entire Lu family will not want to live!" ”
"Father-in-law spares his life!"
Master Lu was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he immediately knelt on the ground.
He kowtowed and explained: "Something must have gone wrong, this batch of goods is all top-notch goods, and they have been selling very well, how can this be ......"
What he said earlier was quite reasonable, but when his eyes met the small porcelain bottle on the table, the voice behind him became smaller and smaller.
It is indeed a jar from his shop.
He also personally handed over this goods to the innkeeper and asked the other party to send it over.
How could it go wrong?
Could it be that the innkeeper did something in the middle?
"It must be that guy who colluded with me to trap me!"
Thinking about what happened, Master Lu immediately wanted to quickly prove his innocence: "You believe me, there must be a problem only this way, I will go to the warehouse to pick up the goods in person now, you wait, I will come back immediately." ”
The palace purchased this line was opened by the Lu family in the previous generation.
His family's income is also largely supported by this business, including the family's status is also supported by the identity of this imperial businessman.
If this line is broken, their Lu family's business will be difficult in the future.
What's more, there is a young grandfather Xu watching here.
If he can't explain, it's very likely that he won't even be able to get out of Huainan Mansion.
When he was looking for the innkeeper to do something, he wanted to ask for more rewards, but because he had to buy bracelets for the green kite, he didn't have enough money, so he gave less.
At that time, the young man's expression was not very good, and he kept saying trouble.
Now that I think about it, I must have said that.
The more Master Lu thought about it, the more he felt right.
Lift the hem of your clothes and turn around to walk out.
But before I got out of the door of the restaurant, I saw a puff of black smoke not far from the window.
The diners downstairs chattered: "It seems to be a warehouse in the west of the city, it's really dangerous to be dry on this day." ”
