"This ......" Lu Shenglin hesitated, he couldn't say "yes" directly, after all, this was tantamount to blatantly betraying Xiao Rongshen. He can't say "no" categorically, after all, he can't fool Wei Yuanxi.

Although Wei Yuanxi is just a fledgling child to an old man like him, after all, he is also infected by the business family, and those twists and turns in his head are indispensable.

It's stupid to lie.

Yuan Xi snickered and waved his hand indifferently: "Uncle Lu doesn't need to explain, there are some things that everyone knows." ”

Lu Shenglin bowed slightly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

"Actually, buying and selling illicit salt is not small, but it is not big, and the Sect Master's Mansion doesn't have to find out a culprit, what do you say, Uncle Lu?"

Lu Shenglin looked at Yuan Xi in silence: "What does the sect master mean?"

"I don't mean anything, I just want to see Uncle Lu's attitude. Won-hee looked at him with interest.

"My attitude? Didn't you just do it?" Lu Shenglin was stunned.

"No, no, no, that's not your Boss Lu's attitude, it's our Gao Xiangguo's attitude. What I want is your Boss Lu's own attitude. ”

Lu Shenglin smiled and pointed at himself: "I, I don't know what kind of attitude Sect Master Wei wants?"

"Wouldn't it?The matter of private salt, the Sect Master's Mansion will not pursue it, such a big favor, Uncle Lu will have no attitude?" Yuan Xi smiled slightly, giving Qin Shun a look. Qin Shun went out for a while and came back with a sandalwood box containing a cat's eye bead the size of a walnut.

Lu Shenglin touched it, it was very moist at hand, it was a good thing. In an instant, he felt that his idea was pure nonsense, and that the Weifu was an antique family, so how could the things he took out be so bad? Although he had some good feelings for this thing, he still retracted his hand stupidly.

"Sect Master, what does this mean?"

"Uncle Lu, you have good eyesight, can you help me take a look, how is this thing?"

Lu Shenglin smiled modestly: "I also know a little about the things you gave to Lord Jingzhao Yinlan's wife. You told me to see, didn't you want me to get an axe?"

"Uncle Lu, this opal is Prince Duan's favorite object, or was it given by Prince Lu. Yuan Xi smiled warmly, lowered his voice and said, "Prince Duan has the heart to make friends with Uncle Lu. ”

Lu Shenglin sat up straight, and his face suddenly became a little more angry.

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right? The grass people know that Da Chu does not allow the prince to make friends with the merchants. ”

Yuan Xi covered his mouth and smiled: "That's nonsense to fool people, if Uncle Lu really keeps to himself and doesn't make friends with the prince, then who is Uncle Lu here to take the blame for today?"

Lu Shenglin didn't answer, just silently looked at an ant on the ground.

"Actually, I should have escorted Uncle Lu back to Beijing and handed him over to Dali Temple for disposal. Yuan Xi smiled with a bit of suppression: "You know, a matter like selling illicit salt, you only need to smear a few strokes casually, and it is a big case." ”

Lu Shenglin raised his two hands and raised them to his chest: "You can put the villain in shackles and locks, the villain dares to act." ”

"What a hard bone. Yuan Xi praised quite casually: "I want to do this, but Prince Duan doesn't want to do this." He is his own brother, and you are a figure that Prince Duan admires. Prince Duan, in line with a heart of love for talents, wants to ask Boss Lu to think about it, after all, good birds choose trees for perch, and no one wants to let the phoenix fall on the dead vine and old tree, don't you say?"

Lu Shenglin licked his lips and sighed slightly.

"Can't look down on the eyes?" Yuan Xi thought like a mirror in his heart, what kind of character is Lu Shenglin, how could he be bought by a small opal? But she has to take out something, otherwise she will be dry, and she will not be able to see any sincerity.

"It's just a gadget, it's for you to play with, and the real profit is certainly not on the table. Won-hee took out a roll of letter paper from his sleeve. It only wrote categorically: Feng Lu Shenglin is the comprador of the inner government.

She just glanced at Lu Shenglin, and then immediately withdrew her sleeve. Lu Shenglin frowned, he hadn't thought about it yet. Yes, yes, it can be regarded as giving future generations a chance to enter the house. Don't do it, that's right, when you become an imperial businessman, you have to live by people's faces, and you are no longer as free as before.

Lu Shenglin chuckled in his heart, even if he wanted to be an imperial businessman, he shouldn't discuss it with her. He shook his head: "Sect Master, this is not what you want. ”

"Uncle Lu must think that if you want, the prince and the county king can write you a copy. Yuan Xi was stunned when he saw him, and he knew that he was in his mind: "But you have to think clearly, some people can write you a true one, and some people can only verbally agree." ”

Yuan Xi smiled modestly: "If I'm not mistaken, the benefits that the county king has given you over the years shouldn't be worth this opal, right?"

Lu Shenglin swallowed his saliva, which made him a little disappointed.

What the hell have he been doing all these years? He has done nothing but desperately prove his ability in front of Xiao Rongshen. But no matter what he does, he doesn't seem to be able to meet Xiao Rongshen's standards, Xiao Rongshen is always like a departure from him, and he has never given him any tangible sweetness.

No, no, no, Lu Shenglin's eyebrows frowned, thinking about the two hundred taels of silver at the beginning! If it weren't for those two hundred taels, you Lu Shenglin would still be a vendor selling fried Lantern Festival expensive hair cakes at the corner of the street! Although two hundred taels is less, it is his starting point.

Lu Shenglin shook his head resolutely: "Even if you sit on the sandalwood bench for a long time, you can't forget who you are." ”

"It's okay, buying and selling is not benevolent, you should accept this opal, so don't go back empty-handed. Yuan Xi looked at Lu Shenglin.

Just let him go? The matter of private salt is over? Lu Shenglin touched the opal, beat a small drum in his heart, his face twitched, and he looked at Yuan Xi in bewilderment.

Yuan Xi was still light, and raised his hand: "Uncle Lu, please." ”

Lu Shenglin couldn't think too much, this sect master's mansion was a Longtan tiger's den, so it was better to leave early. He didn't take the opal, he just knelt down and kowtowed, and walked away with his back to the door.

"Oh, I forgot to say, if I'm not mistaken, there's someone watching you in Uncle Lu's convoy. ”

Lu Shenglin raised his head and just wanted to ask, but Yuan Xi turned around and entered the back hall just right. Qin Shun also looked up at the sky, not wanting to say more to him. That's it, Lu Shenglin thought to himself, he didn't do anything wrong.

Lu Shenglin walked out of the Sect Master's Mansion, and Yuan Xi came out of the back hall, his eyes falling on the box of opals.

Qin Shun took a sip of tea: "Sect Master, this guy must have told King Hejun all your guesses when he goes back, do you want me to kill him halfway?"

"What are you busy with?" Yuan Xi looked at him sideways: "The show has just begun." ”

Qin Shun was puzzled, and Yuan Xi said coldly: "He thought he was loyal to Xiao Rongshen, but in fact, he didn't know that Xiao Rongshen had always guarded him like a thief." When he came to Donglin this time, he was also under Xiao Rongshen's surveillance. In this way, you go in person and send this opal to Lu Shenglin again. Say a word to his face, and say it...... There is still a long way to go. ”

"There is a long way to go?" Qin Shun wrote it down, and asked again: "Why doesn't this sound right? Then Lu Shenglin didn't turn against us, what's the use of saying this?"

"Of course it works, Xiao Rong is deeply suspicious, if he thinks that Lu Shenglin betrayed him, will he still leave Lu Shenglin alive? One wants to kill, the other wants to protect, Lu Shenglin will naturally belong to me. ”

"That's right. Qin Shun's face became solemn: "Are we going to have a head-on conflict with the county king?"

"Xiao Rongshen's informant is not a dry meal, and he will definitely not wait for Lu Shenglin to return to Beijing before making a move, you just need to keep an eye on them and rescue Lu Shenglin halfway. ”

"Oh. Qin Shun sneered: "It seems that what His Highness said is really right." ”

"What's that?" asked Won-hee.

"No business, no treachery!"

Yuan Xi also smiled: "The carving insect skills, thank you for your praise." General Qin, why don't you hurry up and chase Lu Shenglin?"

"Yes!" Qin Shun took the opal and hurriedly ordered a hundred soldiers and horses to chase Lu Shenglin.

Rong Zhan slowly walked out from behind the screen: "This Lu Shenglin is really a big face, he is so sought-after. ”

"No, in the capital, except for my father, he is him. If I don't take this opportunity to get him over quickly, I'm afraid that he will become my fierce rival in the future, and then I'll be in trouble. ”

Rong Zhan grabbed her waist and whispered in her ear, "What's the matter?"

"Of course......" Yuan Xi had no confidence, so he could only tell the truth: "I can't fight." ”

Rong Zhan sneered: "You also have people who are afraid?"

"I'm afraid of him, I'm not afraid! Behind me is Prince Duan, and I have no taboos. Yuan Xi said with a sneer.

"If this thing can be done, I'm afraid Xiao Rongshen will be set aside. There are only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals left in his hands, and then he will not be our wealthy and county king. Rong Zhan hooked the corners of his lips and sneered: "He still wants to be the prince, hum." ”

"A good card is so bad that he has broken it, if he wants to win back a game, he has to start with Wei Yuanjia. Yuan Xi sighed: "If Wei Yuanjia has a child with him, it will be the first grandchild of the current saint." ”

"What are you afraid of, go back and tell my father to marry you to me. Our child is the first grandchild. Rong Zhan laughed.

Yuan Xi's face turned red, pulled the corners of his mouth, and slapped him: "you, who wants to have a child with you." ”

"Seriously, I even have a name for my child. Rong Zhan had a wicked smile on his face.

"If you talk nonsense, I'll beat you!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk about it. Rong Zhan touched her cheek: "Look at you, your face is as red as a begonia." ”

"So, I'm hungry. ”

Yuan Xi wanted to eat begonia crisp, plus the sweet and bitter chrysanthemum porridge cooked by Ling'er, and pickled seasonal small fruits. The sweet, bitter and sour ones are simply the best in the world when paired together.

"Well, I'm hungry," Rong Zhan patted Yuan Xi lightly on the shoulder twice: "Crabs are the most beautiful in this season, wrap some crab dumplings, your husband is hungry." ”

Husband, husband, husband, husband, can you stop saying it so loudly! Yuan Xi pursed his mouth, opened his bow left and right to pinch Rong Zhan's face, pulled him into a fat cat, and gritted his teeth and said, "If you talk nonsense again, I will ...... I'll just ......"

Hey, he'd been warned countless times, and he couldn't even make up anything new about threats.

Yuan Xi's appearance of racking his brains made Rong Zhanxiao's stomach ache, and he grabbed Yuan Xi's two hands and kissed her on the lips: "Stupid." ”
