Lu Xiao found a new pair of shoes for Yuan Qiuning, and stood in place and watched Yuan Qiuning coldly while holding Xu Wei's hand while slowly putting the two shoes on his feet.

Other people had already come in to clean the room, and Lu Min and the rest of the Xie family also rushed over when they heard the news.

Although Lu Min was very dissatisfied with Yuan Qiuning's indifferent appearance in his eyes, after all, Yuan Qiuning was a messenger sent by the Xie family, in order to help Yuwen Chenglong regain the "Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra", and also to protect the foundation of the Lu family, the current Lu Min must also rely on the power of the Xie family.

Xie Gao Lu Lu is one of the four wealthy merchant families in Shendu City, and its influence is almost all over the Shendu and all the surrounding businesses, although the Gao family is now the head of the Shendu Merchant Guild, but when it comes to the largest wealthy merchant in Shendu, there are still many people blurting out: "That must be the Xie family who has been living in Wuyi Lane and can't get rid of the emperor when he comes." ”

The Gao family has a lot of power, and Gao Zhen is very good at wooing, and it is impossible to use the Lu family's financial and material resources to win over the Gao family and a group of big businessmen who follow Gao Zhen.

So Lu Min can only think of other ways, most of the big businessmen in Shendu City are unwilling to have a relationship with Lu Min, after all, Lu Min's means of doing business are arrogant and rude, and he is almost unscrupulous in order to grab business and land, for the big merchants in Shendu City, Lu Min's business experience is no different from that of a robber, and naturally no one will be willing to help him sincerely when he is in trouble.

As for the black markets, bazaars, and a group of small merchants outside the city who are attached to Lu Min's center, life is not easy now, and Lu Min, the eldest brother, has no face to drag the poor brothers to throw money into the pit.

On the one hand, the Lu family has some business dealings with the Xie family, and the Lu family has also helped the Xie family solve some troubles, on the other hand, more importantly, the Gao family has always wanted to be the real leader of the gods, and the conflict between Gao Zhen and the Xie family is no less than the conflict between him and Lu Min.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, if Gao Zhen gains the momentum, the Xie family's life will definitely be difficult. So Lu Min wanted to gamble and win over the Xie family and ask him for help.

In fact, on the second day after returning to Chengtouzhuang from the Wanjin Warehouse, Lu Min had already gone to Wuyi Lane in person in the hope of meeting the Xie family's Laojun, but he couldn't even enter the door, so he had to sit on the ground and leave a long letter to the housekeeper.

The lack of news for two consecutive days has already made Lu Min desperate, just when he was about to give up everything to fight with Gao Zhen and run out of food, the Xie family actually sent a messenger over on the third day, which made Lu Min not excited, as long as the Xie family is willing to negotiate, it means that the two families have a chance to negotiate, and as long as there is this opportunity, Lu Min will definitely seize it with all his might.

It's just that no one expected that the Xie family would be so unsightly, and they actually sent a young concubine to discuss, and what is even more strange is that as soon as this concubine entered the door of the Lu Mansion, she only inquired where Xu Wei was, and kept silent about other things.

Lu Min had no other way, so he could only personally take the concubine who was the head of the Xie family to find Xu Wei, and after finding Xu Wei, he was blasted out by the young woman, so he had to go back to the main hall to wait.

At this time, Lu Min heard that the concubine of the head of the Xie family had already helped Xu Wei diagnose and treat her body, and hurriedly brought someone to Xu Wei's room.

"Since Mrs. Yuan has already reminisced with Brother Xu Wei, can I move to the main hall now to discuss matters related to the Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra." Lu Min was wearing a round-necked robe with black and silver edges, looking solemn and respectful.

"No need...... Yuan Qiuning said as he held the cat in his arms, "I'm not here to discuss anything with you. ”

"What? So what does Xie Laojun mean? Lu Min's expression froze, and his voice raised slightly, "What was the answer that Mrs. Yuan said before?" ”

Yuan Qiuning slowly walked out of Xu Wei's guest room under the guidance of several Xie family guards, she didn't look back at Xu Wei again, she just walked forward and left Lebin Yuan by herself, and said to Lu Min indifferently: "My husband has a reply, but it is not a negotiation, if Boss Lu agrees, we will help; If we don't agree, then we won't force it. ”

Xu Wei and Lu Xiao followed at the back of the crowd, and when they saw that Xu Wei's body had obviously improved, they said happily, "I didn't expect that there is such a miraculous medical skill in the world, it's like coming back to life." ”

"That's true, Sister Yuan's medical skills are much higher than when she was younger, but her medication has always been extremely violent, and she can't come back to life every time, and there are people who can't hold on......" Xu Wei looked at Yuan Qiuning's slender and loose back not far away, thoughtfully, "It's really an accident to be able to get her treatment and succeed by luck this time." ”

"This sister of yours is actually quite pitiful, I heard my brother say that she married Xie Bo'an, the head of the Xie family who has passed the age of sixties, in her early twenties, and Xie Bo'an already had a wife and sixteen concubines at that time, these still live in the Xie family, if you count those ...... who don't live in the Xie family" Lu Xiao glanced at Xu Wei lightly.

"When you got married, you were already past the sixtieth birthday?" Xu Wei couldn't help but stop and confirm when he heard it.

"yes." Lu Xiao's slender index finger on his right hand tapped a few rhythmically on his chin, and it seemed that he was trying to recall, and suddenly she suddenly realized, "By the way, it was the sixtieth birthday of Grandpa Xie Bo'an Xie, and I heard that the entire Shendu City was rumored that he was old enough to add blessings and double happiness, and it turned out that it was because he married another ......."

If Lu Xiao took a closer look at Xu Wei's face at this time, he would definitely find that his face was a little uncomfortable, but Lu Xiao has always been a person who likes to listen to rumors, and when she talks about some interesting things about the Xie family at this moment, she can't stop as soon as she speaks, and she can't wait to tell Xu Wei all in one go.

However, the people who walked in front didn't seem to give Lu Xiao a chance to tell Xu Wei about the rumors, Lu Min and Yuan Qiuning both stopped, Lu Xiao saw his brother's expression was very unhappy, knowing that this was not a good opportunity, and hurriedly pulled Xu Wei, who knew both ends, towards the front of the crowd.

Yuan Qiuning didn't want to pay attention to Lu Min's bargaining, and was glancing to the side to look at a black cat quietly passing by on the eaves, who knew that Yu Guang just saw Lu Xiao holding Xu Wei's hand and walking towards him.

When Lu Xiao pulled Xu Wei to walk in front of Yuan Qiuning, he was stopped by two guards holding long-handled barrier knives, Yuan Qiuning seemed to have made up her mind and didn't want to pay attention to Xu Wei and Lu Xiao, she didn't let her guards let her go, only let Xu Wei and Lu Xiao listen not far away, and turned her head to Lu Min's side.

The whole Lu Mansion is actually not chic, although it has been renovated with a lot of money, but there are still a lot of dilapidated and quaint courtyard walls and gates that have been properly preserved, and the structure of the Lu Mansion is very simple, that is, various types of gardens and small gardens are monotonously stacked, and there is no fancy Qingtan or high-rise hugging pavilion in the house.

The only magnificent building in the Lu Mansion is the three-storey, spacious Lu Mansion main building, the main hall of the Lu family is also located in the main building, because the other buildings in the Lu Mansion are not high, so almost standing in any corner of the Lu Mansion, you can clearly see the eaves of the main building with outstanding sculptures and the rows of wind chimes hanging under the eaves.

Lu Xiaozui, who was stopped not far away by several guards, kept telling Xu Wei that the few big wind chimes on the eaves had been made by herself, but in fact, her ears had been pricked up to listen to the conversation between her brother and Mrs. Yuan.

"The profit of 30,000 yuan is not low, this is already the greatest sincerity that our Lu family can give." Lu Min patted his forehead helplessly and said, "Fifty thousand is too high." ”

"Fifty thousand yuan is not a point, this is what my master means." Although Yuan Qiuning's voice was cold, compared to her delicate appearance, it still seemed more energetic, "In addition, the Xia family wants to establish a pavilion in the Lu family's black market for many years, no matter what it sells, how it is sold, and who will sell it, the Lu family must not ask, and must ensure that all the business of the Xie family is not disturbed." ”

"In other words, your Xie family wants to enter my black market and then operate according to your own rules? Do we have to help? This is inevitably too overbearing, I finally set up the order of the black market, if you are allowed to operate like this, it will not be a slap in the face. Lu Min said with a frown.

"If Boss Lu is reluctant, then forget it, I hope Boss Lu knows that it is the Xie family who you are looking for, not the Xie family looking for you, the Sanskrit Samadhi Sutra will indeed be bad for us if it falls into the hands of Gao Zhen, but after it falls into your hands, will it be good for us?" Yuan Qiuning said a few more words rarely, "With our understanding of your methods, I don't think so." ”

Lu Min sometimes hated himself for doing things too desperately, so that the entire merchants in Shendu were afraid of being swallowed by him.

Lu Xiao, who was stopped by the Xie family's guards, saw that his brother looked embarrassed, and said loudly to Yuan Qiuning: "Mrs. Yuan, the black market in Shendu City has always been a miasma of smoke and blood before the Lu family took over, and there are all kinds of things. It was my brother who put it in order, to ensure that everyone in it made money, to ensure that there were no major conflicts and other abusive and bloody deeds, and those people inside may not obey my brother, but they must respect the rules he has set. ”

Seeing that Yuan Qiuning didn't look back at himself, Lu Xiao still continued without humility or arrogance, "If the Xie family takes the lead in breaking the rules, then the black market will definitely return to a state of chaos, in that state, the merchants in the black market will only use all kinds of means against each other, and they can't make money at all, even if the Xie family can set up a museum in the black market all year round, they will definitely not even be able to earn back the money to build a shop." ”

"Boss Lu's sister knows how to do business very well." Yuan Qiuning could naturally hear Lu Xiao's words, she thought for a moment and said, "But what she said does have some truth, whether it is operated according to the rules of the black market, I will go back and discuss with my husband, but when it comes to finding a suitable place to establish a business hall in the black market, can Boss Lu agree?" ”

"As long as I don't break the rules of the black market, I will naturally not refuse to make money with anger, and I will definitely find a good place to hide for the Xie family." Seeing Yuan Qiuning loosen his mouth, Lu Min also replied with interest.

At this point, Yuan Qiuning took out a letter stamped with red ink from his sleeve, "This is a reply letter written by my husband to Boss Lu, which contains everything you need and things you must pay attention to, since we have discussed so far, Boss Lu only needs to make a note and promise 50,000 yuan of money and the Xie family's request in the Black Market Pavilion, and then he can send the letter to you." ”

Lu Min nodded, he knew that there was no way to bargain more, so he immediately asked a steward behind him to go to study ink and take the jade seal to prepare a note.

Yuan Qiuning couldn't help but glance back at Xu Wei in his boredom, and when he found that the other party was also looking at him, the corners of his mouth still unconsciously showed a smile.

After everything was settled, it was past the afternoon, and Lu Min, who got the secret letter written by the head of the Xie family, planned to ask Yuan Qiuning to stay and taste some game from Chengtouzhuang together, but Yuan Qiuning choked back with a sentence of "I don't have much appetite".

Xu Wei and Lu Xiao followed Lu Min to send Yuan Qiuning to the carriage, although Yuan Qiuning did not say goodbye to Xu Wei, but after getting into the carriage, he still lifted the curtain and looked at Xu Wei and Lu Xiao deeply.

is also a woman, how could Lu Xiao not see Yuan Qiuning's eyes mixed with longing, regret, and pity, she turned her head to look at Xu Wei, whose eyes were also very complicated, pouted and smiled in relief and said in a low voice, "But don't let me live with this Mrs. Yuan, I really don't like her at all......"

"Huh?" Xu Wei was talking to him when Lu Xiao was talking, "What did you say?" ”

"No, now that you're well, do you want to go with me to my orchard?" Lu Xiao looked at the smoke and dust from the carriage leaving, and gently took Xu Wei's hand.
