Chapter 98 King Lu wants to insert a pole
"What's the matter, frizzy?"
Zhang Zongbao said: "Brother, the people from the matchmaker's pavilion have run away!" β
"I didn't run, I was caught by coolies."
"Huh?"
"Oh, it's good that you didn't run away...... Then my business, do you have to delay? β
Zhang Zongbao was aggrieved.
In this Xiao Mansion, seeing Xiao Fan and his wife showing affection every day, he has long been envious of the separation.
The whole person is fantasizing about when he will be able to have a daughter-in-law who knows cold and hot.
"That's it?" Xiao Fan rolled his eyes, "Is it good to be a little promising, it's just a few days late, and it's not that you can't marry for a lifetime." β
Zhang Zongbao snorted coldly: "Brother, you are marrying a daughter-in-law, and a full man doesn't know how to be hungry ...... Chinese characters."
With a pouting and humming, Zhang Zongbao also rolled his eyes.
Xiao Fan laughed, and walked to the courtyard to check the pot where sugar and oil were boiling.
Zhang Zongbao chased after him and said:
"There is another thing, I heard that King Lu is coming, so he lived in the post house, and he just arrived for half an hour."
"So fast?"
Xiao Fan knew that King Lu would come, but he didn't expect that he would also live in the post house in Baishui Town.
It's still early, and if you continue to hurry, you can go to the capital before dark.
But despite this, King Lu still stayed here, intending to rest in the post house.
This must be an ulterior motive.
"Leave him alone, King Lu has nothing to do with us."
Xiao Fan didn't want to have anything to do with King Lu anymore.
The emperor had already noticed him, and if King Lu was involved again, then Xiao Fan would be considered an opportunist.
Cast a wide net and have no position.
It's dangerous.
"But brother, I heard that as soon as King Lu arrived at the post house, he sent someone to Wanfulou to buy a lot of white sugar and soap."
"What does he mean by that?"
Xiao Fan was also surprised, and looked at Zhang Zongbao: "Did he ask someone to do it, or did he do it under King Lu?" β
It means a different thing.
If it was done by someone under King Lu, then there was a high probability that they wanted to speculate, knowing that this thing was expensive in the capital, and they sold it here wholesale to make a profit.
For the people below, this can make a small fortune and naturally do it.
But this amount of money should be nothing to King Lu, he will not deign to do such a thing, and will be connected with the affairs of merchants.
How can you gain a foothold in front of the royal family?
"It's time to eat!"
Suddenly, Zhang Qiao in the kitchen stuck out his little head from the window and shouted at the people in the courtyard.
The few people who burned the pot have also begun to clean up, and the meal time is basically fixed every day, and they have long been proficient in knowing that after boiling a few pots, they can turn off the fire and prepare for dinner.
"Brother, eat, I'm tired from running for a long time!"
Hearing that he was eating, Zhang Zongbao ran into the kitchen and helped serve the dishes.
But I heard Zhang Qiao complaining: "Second master, you have to wash your hands, the master said that you can't directly take the dishes on the plate!" β
This guy originally wanted to steal food in advance.
Xiao Fan held back a smile, turned his head in the direction of the post house, and frowned.
What does King Lu want to do with this hand?
"Click......
A rush of footsteps came from outside the gate of the East Courtyard.
Xiao Fan looked over and happened to see Meng Qing rushing in.
"Xiao Gongzi!"
Meng Qing has never been so rude, Li Qingshan trained him very well, but obviously he was a little out of proportion at the moment.
Seeing that the dinner table is set, what kind of moths are coming out...... Xiao Fan asked helplessly:
"What's the alarm?"
"Lu, King Lu......"
Xiao Fan nodded: "I know that King Lu is in the post house, and Zong Bao told me when he came back." β
"No, it's not ......" Meng Qing slowed down, he obviously came in a hurry, "King Lu is coming for us!" β
"Shall we?"
Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows, what do you call us?
Are we in this together?
Meng Qing eased up, exhaled, and said, "The master said, King Lu may want to interfere in our business, and he has already summoned the master to the post house...... The lord asked me to remind the prince that King Lu might summon you and ask you to think of a way to deal with it. β
King Lu, coming at me?
Xiao Fan was shocked.
What the hell am I ...... How can I, Xiao someone, be so virtuous that I can make a prince so favored?
Of course, it doesn't have to be favored.
"What do you mean by interfering in business, King Lu is also in business?" Xiao Fan felt ridiculous.
Children of the royal family, how can anyone operate this in person, don't they all have to send a Fadai to talk?
Is it okay for King Lu to come in person?
"King Lu is eclectic, he has always disliked those red tape, he is a famous prince who doesn't care about fame."
Meng Qing reminded: "King Lu is doing business in Lu and operates it personally, and he doesn't bother to use Fa to cover up his identity at all. β
"But the children of the royal family are not allowed to do business, I remember that there is this decree?" Xiao Fan was puzzled.
Everyone is looking for Fadai, if you don't look for it, you are high, and you can get it!
King Lu did this, can others agree?
"Hehe......"
Meng Qing smiled bitterly: "Xiao Gongzi won't be so naΓ―ve, he really thinks that these laws can restrain the prince, right?" β
"To put it bluntly, as long as Your Majesty doesn't strictly order him to be investigated, everyone will not dare to punish him."
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Fan couldn't hold back a smile.
Yes, some of the provisions exist just to make people feel reasonable.
In fact, who knows what it looks like when it is disposed of?
Maybe it's to punish yourself with three glasses.
"I came all the way at a gallop, and King Lu's people didn't know the way as I did, and they weren't as fast as me."
"The master said that you must be able to think of a way to deal with it."
"Xiao Gongzi, what should we do?"
Meng Qing looked at Xiao Fan with blank eyes.
He has always listened to Li Qingshan's words, and Li Qingshan said that if Xiao Fan can have a way, then he can really rely on it.
"Brother Li, this time, he finally has a firm position."
Xiao Fan didn't answer Meng Qing immediately, but praised it first.
From Li Qingshan's point of view, the appearance of King Lu is really not necessarily a bad thing for him.
Anyway, now, Li Qingshan is no longer afraid of Feng Gui, King Qi or King Lu, whoever he takes refuge in.
Even because King Lu is stronger, it is a wise move for him to throw himself into King Lu, and it is also in line with Li Qingshan's practice of protecting himself.
However, this time, Li Qingshan actually sent Meng Qing to remind Xiao Fan to think of countermeasures, which showed that he really strengthened the position of King Qi and Xiao Fan's side.
What prompted Li Qingshan to change?
Xiao Fan thought of a possibility in an instant.
Cui Hong may have told Li Qingshan about the secret guard!
However, it is also possible that Li Qingshan doesn't want to toss anymore and feels that it is more promising to mix with Xiao Fan......
Anyway, no matter which possibility it was, Li Qingshan chose a position, and he couldn't get over to King Lu's side.
Now that Li Qingshan has expressed his position, Xiao Fan naturally has to express himself.
So, Xiao Fan said: "We don't have to do anything, if King Lu has normal business behavior, he can let Brother Li decide for himself, and if there is a benefit, Qingshan Commercial Bank can cooperate." β
"But I can't see King Lu."
Xiao Fan frowned and said, "Even if you want to meet, it must be a very public occasion, and you can't meet him in private." β
Meng Qingdao:
"Then Xiao Gongzi, if King Lu is clever and robbed, how can we be good?"
Trickery?
Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Feng Gui is a household servant and has the right to participate, the King of Huai behind him is not comparable to King Lu, King Lu's move of Qingshan Commercial Bank is equivalent to moving King Huai's money, can he agree?" β
"Then in case, King Lu doesn't move my master, and you will make a move on Xiao Gongzi...... What to do? β
Shoot at me?
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Fan also became serious.
Would King Lu be so reckless?
This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven.
However, Xiao Fan didn't dare to be careless, the courage of the children of the royal family has always been to the level of the sky.
So, Xiao Fan came up with a plan:
"Aren't you staring at the short man at the inn?"
"How?"
Xiao Fan said: "The person who called you was around the short people, chatting casually, and saying that King Lu might take a fancy to our business and hack me." β
"What's the use of saying this?" Meng Qing was puzzled.
"You just do what I say, these people have stayed with me for so long, either to harm me or to protect me."
Xiao Fan said: "As long as King Lu really dares to make a move, I believe they should come forward, at least secretly there will be a move." β
"What the hell are they going to do to provoke the prince?" Meng Qing was surprised.
Prince?
Xiao Fan smiled, if the emperor has an order, let alone the prince, even if it is the prince, they dare to provoke.
That's the Dark Guard!
But Xiao Fan didn't, and put all his hopes on the dark guard.
What if the Dark Guard doesn't intervene.
"Jiang Xing?"
Xiao Fan looked at Jiang Xing, and at the same time waved at Meng Qing, signaling him to go.
Meng Qing nodded, rushed out of the door like the wind, and disappeared.
Jiang Xing was sitting at the table of the family, preparing to eat, when he heard Xiao Fan greet him, he got up and came over.
Xiao Fan approached Jiang Xing and whispered, "Is the kind of instrument with a long tube done?" β
"There's one, I'm going to use it to make more."
"Okay, take it with you in a while, and follow me to Little Camel Mountain."
"Master, it'll be dark in a while, go to Little Camel Mountain?"
Xiao Fan nodded: "Call the second master, let's three of us together." β
