Chapter 224: Honoring Daddy
That night, Zhang Xian quietly came to Lu's house and told the truth what happened in the imperial study during the day.
Lu De stood up triumphantly, "I'll go to the study!" ”
Jiang: "Don't go!" "Don't think she doesn't know what he's trying to do.
"Ma'am?"
Jiang Shi hurriedly grabbed him, "You are good, let's bear with it." ”
The little girl only asked Luo Tieniu to bring back a clever plan, which has now run out. What if he goes to engage Zuo Anmin and is trapped in Chang'an? The little girl is far away in Pingzhou, and she has to find a way to catch him.
Now, the goal of outgoing has been achieved. At this critical time, it's better not to make extraneous branches.
"As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
Lu Desheng: But he's a villain. His motto has always been, revenge of the villain, from morning till night!
He looked at his nervous wife and thought, forget it, for the sake of his daughter, for the sake of the family reunion, he can barely be a gentleman. But he had already decided that before leaving Chang'an, he would hand over the record about Zuo Anmin in the small book to Zhang Xian, and let Zhang Xian give him a tight skin from time to time, hum!
Just when Lu Desheng got the letter of release, Xu Zheng and Yang Wei and his party also returned to Chang'an City.
The two did not rest, Xu Zheng did not even go home, but went to the Yamen to hand in the task, and together with Yang Wei, he came to Lu's house with Lu Mingzhi.
After discussing the departure time with Lu's father, they each went home and persuaded the family to move to Pingzhou together.
The next day, Xu Zheng, Yang Wei, Wu Ren, Hu Guangcong and others brought some samples of medicinal materials to the Lu family again, and most of the remaining brothers stayed in Yang Wei's dart bureau to guard the batch of medicinal materials they brought back.
It was imperative that they dispose of the batch of valuable medicinal materials they had brought back before leaving Chang'an.
The medicinal materials are all good medicinal materials, and now there is a shortage of buyers.
Lu Desheng heard that they had brought back a batch of medicinal materials from Pingzhou and wanted to earn some travel expenses, so he didn't ask the specific amount, but only handed over the matter to Lu Zhiyuan.
Lu Zhiyuan has been dealing with merchants a lot recently, and his father-in-law is a medicinal herb merchant, and he himself often helps the Yue family, and he also knows some medicinal herb merchants. It shouldn't be a problem for him to pull a thread in the middle and sell the medicinal herbs.
After Xu Zheng came back, the Xu family also began to pack their luggage.
Although Xu Zheng returned to Chang'an, he began to be busy going out early and returning late, and was often away from home. There are many Xu families, and they don't need him to help clean up.
This escort made Xu Zheng realize that it was still very useful to wear a layer of official skin. Therefore, he has been working in the yamen recently, getting an order, so that the identity of the official can be transferred to Pingzhou.
In fact, Uncle Lu Desheng released Houcheng as a county order, if his family went to Houcheng, it would be a matter of Uncle Lu's words to find a vacancy there.
But he made more preparations, waited until he arrived in Xiangping, and saw how the sixth young lady arranged.
There is also the matter of buying and selling medicinal herbs, he also has to help, and he can't throw it all to others.
Lu Zhiyuan invited the medicinal herb merchant and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in Chang'an City very smoothly this time.
Those medicinal herb merchants who were found by Lu Zhiyuan were all like mourning at first.
They were too scared, but they didn't dare not come.
Lu Desheng's recent movements have been too big, stirring up wind and rain, and many court officials have been disgraced by him. Now that they've been found, what can they do?
They thought that this time they were going to go bankrupt, and exchanged a vague look with each other. Accept your fate, just do it, it's really not good, spend money to eliminate the disaster.
But when they saw the neatly arranged samples of medicinal herbs, they pounced on them, what was afraid and worried, there was no such thing.
They are all knowledgeable and recognize that these are authentic medicinal materials from Pingzhou, and they are all valuable medicinal materials!
Pingzhou is too far away from their Chang'an City, so the medicinal materials there are very rare, and the price is really expensive. Even for the same price, they can't get such good quality.
The first herb merchant spoke up, and said with a lot of money, "How many of these herbs are there?" We're going to do it! ”
"Lao Xu, don't you want to eat alone, these good medicinal materials, we also lack them in the Rejuvenation Hall."
"Young Master Lu, sell us Baicaotang, the price is negotiable."
Lu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "I can't be the master of this matter, I am just a middle-aged person, you want to buy it, go and tell them." As he spoke, he pointed to Yang Wei Wuren and the others.
These medicinal materials are really good to sell, Yang Wei and Xu Zheng glanced at each other.
Wu Ren stepped forward with a smile on his face, "All the shopkeepers can rest assured, now let's quote the price." ”
The medicinal herb merchants were intimidated by Lu Desheng's might, and with Tian Qinglai's peers, the prices they gave were very fair.
But this fair price, listening to the ears of Yang Wei, Xu Zheng and others, is the sound of nature.
It's been posted! But they suppressed the agitation in their hearts one by one, not wanting the other party to see any clues.
Wu Ren smiled and said kindly, "Everyone, the price is set at such a price." I'll be in that room in a moment, and you'll line up and come in one by one and tell me how much you want, and I'll give you a dose. ”
So, one by one, these medicinal herb dealers went into the room alone and said the type and quantity of medicinal materials they needed.
After Wu Ren calculated the amount they needed to pay for the medicinal herbs, he asked them to pay a deposit of 10%. Then let them go back and wait, and they will be responsible for sending the medicinal materials over, and then they will settle the balance at that time.
The herb dealers all thought this was very good, and after paying the deposit, they went back and waited.
Tian Qinglai took his eldest son to help his in-laws, went to see his daughter again, and left reluctantly.
He knew that his in-laws and family were about to leave Chang'an for Pingzhou, and he didn't know what year or month it would be when they met again. He also knew that the Xu family would go on the road with the Lu family, and the whole family would move to Pingzhou.
Regarding the move to Pingzhou, Tian's father also had a little bit of interest, but he not only has Tian Yan and a daughter under his knees, but also pays attention to a network in business.
Pingzhou is a completely foreign place to them, and if they move away from Chang'an, it will be tantamount to giving up so many years of business and starting from scratch. Almost everyone in the family is not in favor of moving.
After the order was negotiated, the next step was to transport the medicinal materials and settle the final payment, Hu Guangcong's people and Yang Wei's people all set out, and in just one afternoon, they took all the medicinal materials out of their hands and brought back boxes of gold and silver.
When they moved the gold and silver back to the Lu family and put them in the main hall, Lu Desheng realized that the transaction was a bit big, and they earned a little more money for their travel expenses.
As soon as the account was settled, Wu Ren counted it, and after confirming that it was correct, Xu Zheng directly took out three thousand taels from it and moved it to Lu Desheng.
Lu Desheng was stunned: "What is this for?" ”
Xu Zheng smiled, "This is the explanation of the sixth young lady. ”
Sixth young lady, his daughter?
"Uncle Lu, take it, these three thousand taels are the six young ladies who honor you and your aunt."
Lu Desheng sighed, and then pulled his wife Jiang Shi to count the silver, "Madam, come and see, this is the little girl's filial piety to us." ”
Lu Mingzhi, who was a step slower: ......
It's over! Should his second sister be so fast?
Sure enough, Lu Desheng, who had counted the silver for a while, suddenly felt that something was wrong, he slowly turned his head, looked at Lu Mingzhi, blew his beard and glared at him, "Sure enough, your second sister is the most filial!" ”
Lu Mingzhi handed over the one thousand taels of silver in his hand and weakly defended, "I just haven't had time yet." "He is also very filial, but his speed is not as fast as his second sister.
After Lu Desheng took it, he said in disgust, "The speed is so slow, are you a turtle?" ”
In fact, he wanted to say that the speed was so slow that he couldn't even catch up with the hot, but think about it, it's his own son, or keep it, don't scold so hard.
"It's just a thousand taels?"
Lu Mingzhi: "Yes." "A thousand taels is already a lot, okay? He made a total of three thousand taels! In the words of his second sister, that is, Daddy, you are floating.
"Look, this is from your second sister, three thousand taels!" Lu Desheng pulled proudly, and after the corners of his mouth were hooked, he couldn't press it down.
Lu Mingzhi: Where can he compare with his second sister? His father looked up to him too much.
