The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 390 You still dare to mention green vegetables
Du Ruhui said, "It is the meaning of the head of the family, and it is also his meaning", in Lu Chen's opinion, I am afraid that it was more Du Zong, the head of the Du family, who persuaded him to make this decision, after all, at the auction, the Du family had already released goodwill to himself, so why bother?
Besides, the relationship between Lu Chen and Li Shimin at this time seems to be not so close on the surface, and besides, the team gives dividends to the royal family, and these families are not blind, if they can't figure out that Lu Chen and the royal family are standing behind this auction, then these families are not only blind, but also fools.
But even if those families know about it, Lu Chen doesn't care about it now, Lu Chen doesn't believe it, and these families won't enter the next game!
This is a "conspiracy", if these families don't know that the royal family is involved, these families may not come, but now that they know that part of their money is the royal family's dividends, even if these families don't look down on the royal family in their hearts, they still have to get by on face.
Lu Chen's current identity is an "outsider", because Lu Chen is now a "red man" in front of Li Yuan, Li Yuan's fast son-in-law, Li Xiuning's women's army advisor, the person who Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have to "visit", the person who has contributed to the method of iron smelting, and the county prince who holds more than 3,000 well-equipped backguards in his hands.
Although Lu Chen is only an "outsider" now, no one can guarantee that Lu Chen will not play and become an "insider".
As for the Du family's "investment" in Lu Chen, it can be said that Du Ruhui is looking for a way out for the Du family, in the eyes of Du Ruhui and Du Zong, the head of the Du family, even if Li Shimin fails, then Lu Chen will not fall, Lu Chen will not end, the Du family has Lu Chen as a "way out", if Lu Chen is gone, then judging from the relationship between Lu Chen and the family, Lu Chen is likely to be on Li Shimin's side, after all, those who have "enmity" with Lu Chen are all on the position of Li Jiancheng's "East Palace".
No matter how Lu Chen chooses, the Du family "bets" on Lu Chen this time, and it is a matter of "making sure you don't lose money".
Lu Chen looked at the departing Du Ruhui with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded faintly, "This 'Du Duan' is really real!" Lu Chen secretly praised Du Ruhui in his heart, he is really decisive in doing things, and he doesn't drag his feet, but I'm afraid Du Ruhui still can't see far enough, Lu Chen is not only out, but he will also be the director of the entire "chess game" in the future.
Lu Chen naturally wouldn't tell Qin Qiong and the others about these things, but just told Qin Qiong and the others that the Du family used this Changyuan Building as a stake and joined Lu Chen's "catering industry".
As soon as he heard Lu Chen talk about the sound of eating, Cheng Yanjin's pair of big eyes suddenly glared, "Brother Xian, we are all our own brothers, this business..." Cheng Yanjin directly rubbed his hands and looked at Lu Chen with a sneer, after all, the "prosperous age" made these grandfathers taste the sweetness, and now as soon as Lu Chen said what business he wanted to do, that image was similar to the God of Wealth in their eyes, Cheng Yanjin said so, and the eyes of the other grandfathers naturally looked at Lu Chen.
"Brothers, don't get involved in the buying and selling of Changyuan Building! However, it can be guaranteed that there are still a lot of deals to be done in the next, and there will be a share of you at that time, how about it? Lu Chen looked at Cheng Yanjin and the others and said with a smile, "After all, there are now members of the Nandu family in this Changyuan Building, if this spreads..."
Although Lu Chen's words were not finished, these grandfathers suddenly understood that Lu Chen did not let them participate in this Changyuan Building, but for their good, although in the Tiance Mansion, they were also familiar with Du Ruhui, but if they really had to involve their net worth, it would be somewhat inconvenient, and several people also nodded, and did not continue to dwell on this matter.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room, Lu Chen gave Liu Jing a look directly, Liu Jing went over and opened the door, and saw that it was the shopkeeper Chen.
"Grandpa, can you serve the food?" Shopkeeper Chen walked in, looked at Lu Chen and bowed down and asked.
"Let's serve!" Lu Chen nodded, and after getting Lu Chen's approval, Shopkeeper Chen bowed down and exited the private room, and instructed the guys outside to start serving.
"Oh? Brother-in-law, did you teach stir-fry to Changyuanlou? Looking at the stir-fried vegetables that the guys brought up one after another, Chai Shao now has a "brother-in-law" to Lu Chen, and the one he calls is a smooth mouthful.
"Since this Changyuan Building is already below, it is naturally going to be used to make money!" Lu Chen said with a smile, "This cook is from the next house, after teaching the back kitchen of this Changyuan Building, this cook still has to go back!" ”
"Then we're welcome!" As soon as he heard that the dishes on this table were made by the chef of Lu Chen's Mansion, Cheng Yanjin unceremoniously stretched out his chopsticks and stuffed a chopstick dish into his mouth.
"Let's say, it's still the cooking of this chef in the virtuous brother's house! All of us at home have learned from the chef in your house, but unfortunately there is still a gap in the taste! After Cheng took a bite of the food, he sighed directly.
The rest of the grandfathers, except for Chai Shao, all nodded in agreement, these grandfathers all rushed the chefs in their own mansions to Lu Chen's mansion to learn stir-frying, at that time, looking at the twenty or so cooks, Lu Chen had a kind of idea of wanting to open a culinary training school, and even thought of the name, after all, this name is too loud in later generations.
"Brother-in-law, there is something that my brother wants to ask you about, after all, this matter is very important for your marriage to Princess Langya!" After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chai Shao looked at Lu Chen and said solemnly.
"I don't know what?" Looking at Chai Shao's solemn expression, Lu Chen put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Chai Shao and asked.
"Although Your Majesty has already given you and Princess Langya a marriage, there are still a lot of things to do before this marriage!" Chai Shao looked at Lu Chen and said, and Lu Chen naturally understood the process of marriage in this era, which was much more complicated than those who wore wedding dresses into the church in later generations.
At this time, the wedding ceremony is to pay attention to the "six rites", from the proposal to the marriage, it is necessary to go through a set of quite complicated and elaborate processes such as Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, recruiting, inviting dates, and greeting in person, and now the first pass in front of Lu Chen is "Nacai".
The problem in front of Lu Chen now is that the matchmaker can be found, and the matchmaker Li Yuan can be designated, so he is naturally a respected person, but this "parents" is very troublesome, after all, Lu Chen is alone, where are the two "parents" to find?
"What are the parents going to do?" Chai Shao looked at Lu Chen and asked, and the eyes of the others naturally converged on Lu Chen, waiting for Lu Chen's answer.
"It's a really difficult thing, but it's a special thing! It's true that my parents are not here, so I can't recognize my parents for this matter! Lu Chen looked at Chai Shao and said, "No, I will go to Nacai with the matchmaker in person!" Lu Chen's face didn't matter.
"Look, Chai Concubine, our Brother Lu Xian is a strange man, let's do it Lao Cheng thinks it's okay!" Cheng Yanjin said directly at Lu Chen with a thumbs up.
"The old man thinks that Brother Lu Xian's words are reasonable!" Qin Qiong on the side also stroked his beard and nodded in agreement, "After all, Brother Lu Xian is now a horse appointed by His Majesty, apart from Brother Lu Xian's biological parents, who else is qualified to represent Brother Lu Xian?" ”
"However, the old man thinks that Brother Lu Xian should report this matter to His Majesty, after all, if Brother Lu Xian does this, there will be some inconsistencies with etiquette! If Your Majesty can issue an edict to allow it, I believe that others will not have anything to say! After Qin Qiong groaned a little, he stroked his beard and proposed.
"When the time comes, we can also jointly report this matter!" Liu Hongji on the side continued, and glanced at several other people at the same time, and the others nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll thank you brothers first!" Lu Chen directly thanked a few people, and Lu Chen also understood that Chai Shao, Qin Qiong and others mentioned this matter, and they were indeed thinking about themselves, and the fact that he was married by Li Yuan made those family officials complain, if they did anything that was not in line with etiquette, I am afraid that those families would have an excuse.
"It's all my own brothers, it's too much to say Xie Ke! But we haven't eaten much green vegetables lately! Cheng Yanjin said directly and loudly, and at the same time did not forget to complain in the end.
"Brother Cheng, you still dare to mention green vegetables, you forgot what happened last time, right?" Hearing Cheng Yanjin mention the word green vegetables, Lu Chen remembered the last time he was ruined by Cheng Yanjin, and suddenly couldn't help but tease Cheng Yanjin.
"It was just accidental!" Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.
"Go back and send a few baskets to your brothers!" Lu Chen looked at Cheng Biting Jin's cheeky appearance, and could only smile the same, and then said.
"Why is the price so high for such a small dish? Are you in a black shop? Just when Lu Chen and the others were talking happily in the private room, there was a shouting sound downstairs.
Originally, the Ya sound insulation was still good, but this accent was very stiff, it didn't sound like the voice of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that the shouting sound was indeed not small, even if the Ya sound isolation was good, it still vaguely spread to the private room, and the sound of this voice suddenly made everyone in the private room frown slightly.
