Chapter Ninety-Five: Heading North
Lu Shen returned to Cui's Mansion and walked in directly through the back door.
"You still know that when you come back, I thought you ran out and stole food."
In the pavilion, Bai Yi looked at Lu Shen with a smile: "It's done?" ”
Lu Shen nodded and smiled: "It's not an important thing in itself, but even if these people are included in the dark building, sister, you have to be careful." ”
Bai Yi glared at Lu Shen: "I really don't know what you think, if you want to protect the Cui family, the people in the dark building can do it, you have to make trouble for yourself, what if something bad happens if these killers of the Northern Wei Dynasty stay around?" ”
Lu Shen said with a smile: "These people are all people who were given up by the Northern Wei Dynasty, they can't go back to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there is still a trace of life if they stay in Dafeng obediently, if they don't do it well, it is estimated that they will not even have this opportunity." ”
Bai Yi shook his head: "The affairs of Qiantang County are still handed over to Tsing Yi, by the way, when are you going to leave?" ”
Lu Shen was silent for a moment: "Tomorrow." ”
Bai Yi nodded: "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow." ”
Bai Yi looked at Lu Shen, who was standing in front of him and didn't leave, and said with a smile: "Tonight is the night of candles in the cave room, do you plan to stand here all the time?" ”
Lu Shen smiled faintly and bowed his hand slightly towards the white clothes: "But thank you very much." ”
Bai Yi glared at Lu Shen, turned around and walked out: "Enjoy your life, after all, there is only one night." ”
Back in the bedroom, Cui Yingluo was still sitting on the bed waiting, and the two maids next to her saw Lu Shen walk in, and immediately blushed: "I've seen my uncle." ”
Lu Shen waved his hand to let the two maids retreat, and just sat next to Cui Yingluo, the latter turned around directly, gave Lu Shen a back, and let him experience it himself.
"Miss, what are you?"
Cui Yingluo snorted: "Mr. Lu, you are very busy, busy marrying your own students during the day, but sneaking out to fight at night, and then you have to hum and chirp with other women endlessly, do you think my Cui family is easy to bully?" ”
Lu Shen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained.
Cui Yingluo glanced at Lu Shen obliquely, and her face softened a lot: "Okay, it's not early, let's rest early." ”
Lu Shen undressed while agreeing, and as soon as he unbuttoned his coat, he was kicked out of bed by Cui Yingluo: "You sleep on the floor tonight." ”
"What?"
Lu Shen endured the discomfort of his body: "Yingluo, let's not bring this, tonight is the night of candles in our cave room." ”
"You also know that tonight is the night of candles in the cave room?"
Cui Yingluo snorted: "I see that you don't know who is getting married today!" Lu Shen, you provoked me! ”
Cui Yingluo glared at Lu Shen angrily: "I think you are living a good life, you can live your own life in the future." ”
Seeing that Cui Yingluo got up and was about to leave, Lu Shen hurriedly hugged her: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong." ”
Cui Yingluo still wanted to struggle, but was pressed under Lu Shen by Lu Shen, and her body shook slightly: "Lady, it's really not early, let's hurry up and work hard." ”
As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Cui Yingluo shook Lu Shen awake with a shy face: "Get up." ”
One arm pressed over: "Lady, what time is it?" ”
Cui Yingluo said: "We are going to have a daddy tea ceremony before dawn." ”
Lu Shen was a little dizzy by Cui Yingluo's shaking, and stood up helplessly: "Okay, I'll get up now." ”
The two walked to Cui Million's courtyard under the leadership of the maid: "Uncle, miss, you wait here for a while, and then the master will call you in later." ”
After a while, the housekeeper Chang Zai walked out, first said hello to Lu Shen, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, Miss, please come in!" ”
Lu Shen and Cui Yingluo walked out, Cui Million was sitting above, and two maids stood next to them holding plates, each with a red porcelain cup on the plate.
Cui Yingluo secretly glanced at Lu Shen, the two stepped forward, knelt in front of Cui Wanwan, and the maid handed over the teacup casually.
Lu Shen said respectfully: "Dad, please drink tea." ”
Cui Million smiled with satisfaction: "Well, get up." ”
Cui Million took a sip of tea lightly and said with a smile: "Lu Shen, you will be a member of my Cui family in the future, and I will hand over all the business and Yingluo of the Cui family to you." ”
Lu Shen smiled: "Father, please rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint Yingluo." ”
Cui Wanwan said: "Let's start eating first." ”
Everyone ate happily, and Cui Wanwan said: "Lu Shen, something happened." ”
"What's wrong?"
Cui Wandao: "The Cui Family Chamber of Commerce has been suppressed by unknown people, and several large merchants in the Chamber of Commerce have directly broken their legs, and the news I received early in the morning is that several nearby counties have suffered the same blow. ”
"There are a lot of merchants who are clamoring to quit the Chamber of Commerce."
Lu Shen frowned, this is not good news.
"And the third prince also came last night."
Cui Yingluo on the side was stunned: "What is he doing here?" ”
"The forces belonging to the three princes in the land south of the Yangtze River have also been damaged to varying degrees, and I have also heard that the garrisons in the northern land have also been damaged to varying degrees in the past two days, and some middle and high-ranking generals in the army have been killed."
Cui Yingluo, who was on the side, suddenly turned pale: "Is this thing aimed at our Cui family?" ”
Cui Million was silent in a low voice.
Lu Shen shook his head: "It shouldn't just be aimed at our Cui family, maybe the other party's target is the crown prince or the third prince." ”
"What?"
Cui Million was stunned for a moment: "Didn't this matter be done by the prince?" ”
Lu Shen snorted: "It's definitely not the prince's doing, who is so stupid to let others grab their handles at this time?" ”
Cui Yingluo said: "Maybe that's what the prince thinks, he thinks we won't suspect him, so he will send someone out to make trouble?" ”
Lu Shen looked at Cui Million: "Did the third prince say anything before leaving?" ”
Cui Million shook his head: "Except for asking you to deal with the affairs of Jiangnan Province and enter Beijing as soon as possible, there is nothing else." ”
"The third prince asked me to enter Beijing?"
Lu Shen's mind was spinning rapidly, he always felt that the third prince knew something.
And the most important thing is that the relationship between the Cui family and the three princes is very close, if this matter is really done by the prince, the three princes will not let it go and go back to Beijing directly.
Unless the three princes know who the person behind this is!
Thinking of this, Lu Shen pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I am going to Beijing today. ”
"You're going to Beijing today?"
Cui Yingluo's face on the side changed slightly: "I'm going too." ”
Lu Shen shook his head: "Don't tell anyone about my entry into Beijing this time, I want to move forward secretly, so you'd better stay at home to assist your father." ”
Cui Million didn't expect Lu Shen to go over by himself, so he shook his head and said: "Lu Shen, you don't know about the affairs of the capital, if you rush over, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, I think it's better to let the people of the Cui family follow." ”
Lu Shen shook his head: "No, I know a little bit about the affairs of the capital, and besides, the homes of Baiyi and Tsing Yi are in the capital." ”
"White clothes and green clothes?"
Cui Million didn't know that Bai Yi and Tsing Yi were killers, and said worriedly: "Lu Shen, although our Cui family's business in the capital is gone, the Cui family still has one or two old friends in the capital." ”
"These two are my dear friends, if you are in trouble in the capital, you can go to them."
Lu Shen wanted to say that he couldn't use these help at all with his own ability, but seeing Cui Yingluo's eager gaze, Lu Shen smiled and nodded: "Okay, if I encounter something in the capital, I will go to these two uncles' house in a while." ”
Cui Million nodded with satisfaction, and casually handed over the names of these two people: "These two have a wide range of connections in the capital, and they are also very helpful for you to inquire about the news." ”
After Cui Million finished speaking, he looked at the two of them: "This matter itself is a family matter of the Cui family, but now except for Lu Shen, other people really can't do this kind of thing." ”
Lu Shen hurriedly said: "Father, the Cui family's affairs are my affairs, if this matter is not dealt with in time, I am afraid that there will be trouble." ”
Cui Million glanced at Cui Yingluo: "Okay, you guys clean up." ”
