422: Zhu Mansion
No, no, Lu Gongzi became the prefect of a city at a young age, or a rich city like Qiongcheng, with a bright future!"
Lu Lianhua was able to sit in the prefect's position at a young age, and the subordinates next to him were inevitably arrogant, Ah Lu naturally didn't go back to blame anything, thinking that he had a way out of the imperial examination, but he was only unknown, but it was only a few months, and the promotion was indeed faster.
Lu Lianhua smiled, lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a faint smile: "It's just dragging the help of the old man, it's not something to be proud of." β
"Young Master......" Four Seasons stepped forward, his face worried.
Ah Lu saw that this was obviously a mistake, and hurriedly said: "Since I entered the city all the way, the people I have met have praised the newly appointed prefect, and it is excellent to benefit the people for the officials, and it is good to rely on my own strength to sit in this position." β
Lu Lianhua's expression was moved, thinking that she said that she had just come to the city, and it seemed that she had just come here, so she asked, "The green girl has just come to Qiongcheng, do you have a place to live?"
At this time, Hongdou finally couldn't help but speak: "Naturally, how can I let her have nowhere to go?"
Only then did Lu Lianhua notice that he had mistaken him for Hong Tease at the beginning, and apologized: "I don't know the name of this son?"
"Her husband. β
Hongdou said lightly, and Ah Lu was so shocked that he pulled his sleeve: "What nonsense are you talking about!
"Isn't it?" Hongdou raised his eyebrows to look at her, and his face turned red with shame: "Not yet!"
"Okay" After hearing the answer, Hongdou saluted Lu Lianhua: "I have seen the prefect, Xiaosheng Zhu An, who is her fiancΓ©." β
Lu Lianhua looked at Ah Lu and then at the red beans and suddenly laughed: "Lu Mou understands, it turns out that this is the case, it is a good thing that a girl can find a lover." β
Ah Lu smirked twice and didn't speak, but Hongdou chatted with Lu Lianhua: "Although the development of Qiongcheng is good, the dependence on Haicheng next door is very high, I don't know how the Lu Governor plans to solve this problem?"
Lu Lianhua's expression was serious: "Zhu Gongzi is a capable person, and this problem is also a big trouble in Lu's heart." β
Hongdou said: "Haicheng is near the sea, the sea trade is prosperous, it is a customs, the business is prosperous, as long as the prefect governs a little, there will be no mistakes, but Qiongcheng is different, Qiongcheng is famous for producing jade, and it is close to Haicheng to get some commercial cheapness, but jade always has a day to dig up, and the cheap people get by snorting are always apprehensive......"
Lu Lianhua's expression became more and more solemn in this remark, and he looked like he was pulling the red bean to talk in detail, but now Ah Lu was snubbed, staring at the red bean on the side and talking to Lu Lianhua with a sly expression, and even proposed to invite Lu Lianhua to Zhu Mansion as a guest.
Lu Lianhua seemed to hesitate, after all, the Zhu Mansion he knew was a business tycoon in Qiongcheng, and it was better for officials to have less contact with wealthy businessmen, after all, it was easy to be criticized.
"You can go in peace, we won't be here for a few days before we leave. Seeing him hesitate, Ah Lu opened his mouth to persuade.
"Can't you stay for a few days? Why shouldn't you settle here?" Lu Lianhua was quite surprised by this.
Hongdou smiled lightly and said in an ambiguous tone: "She likes to travel the world, so I naturally want to accompany her." β
Lu Lianhua hid a little loneliness in his eyes, and nodded with a smile: "So that's the case, it's just the Zhu family's industry?"
"The servants in the house know how to cook. Azuki replied.
Lu Lianhua was worried: "It is a servant who falls to the ground, and it cannot be easily determined whether it is sincere or not." β
"How many years of old man, trustworthy, thank you Brother Lu for your concern. β
After speaking, Hongdou invited Lu Lianhua to go downstairs together, and turned around to pull Ah Lu to the other side, although he was talking to Lu Lianhua, his eyes glanced at Ah Lu, and occasionally reached out for her to block some things in front of her.
Out of the gate of Wanbin Restaurant, there was a vermilion elevated carriage parked at the door, and the servants sitting in the car hurriedly greeted them when they saw them coming out.
Ah Lu raised his eyes, and easily noticed the surprise that flashed on Lu Lianhua's face, the servant didn't realize it, he brought a small ladder from the back of the carriage, and was about to reach out to help Lu Lianhua get into the car and was blocked by the four seasons, Lu Lianhua was polite and humble, Hongdou politely refused, and finally Hongdou grabbed in front of the servant and helped Ah Lu into the carriage first, and then he and Lu Lianhua got into the carriage in turn.
The carriage drove all the way to Zhufu in the east of the city, and the carriage was quiet, Lu Lianhua wanted to ask Ah Lu Ke to know the current situation of Hong, but seeing that she was now looking for a lover, and her fiancΓ© was still sitting beside her, she had to avoid suspicion, but the loneliness in her heart was hidden deeply.
Ah Lu naturally won't take the initiative to ask anything, in the end, she is not too familiar with Lu Lianhua, and Lu Lianhua is a super filial son who obeys her parents' orders in her eyes, but in the end, it is whether Hongdou speaks, and the questions are all topics related to politics, which is very conducive to Lu Lianhua's governance of Qiongcheng, so that the atmosphere in the carriage will not be so embarrassing.
The surroundings gradually quieted down, only the coachman could hear the call, the carriage slowly stopped, the servant lifted the curtain, and wanted to help Ah Lu out to be robbed by Hongdou again, Lu Lianhua couldn't help but smile when he watched from the side, after all, in his opinion, Hongdou can still be good to Ah Lu wholeheartedly, and he is indeed a rare beloved.
After several people got out of the carriage, the servant shook his head and moved the small ladder back to the back of the carriage, Ah Lu took the opportunity to look at him, it was a young and delicate little monster, the body could not be seen at present, probably a goblin of the plant department, and the demon spirit was not very heavy.
Hongdou warmly invited Lu Lianhua into the house, and after a while, an old man who was blessed came out, and a red bean happily spoke: "The master asked me to wait." β
Hongdou looked at Lu Lianhua and said lightly: "Uncle Teng, if you have a guest, go and arrange it first." β
Fuji Bo's talent fell on the two people beside him, first saluted Lu Lianhua, obviously knowing his identity, and then his eyes fell on Ah Lu, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Yes, master, I'll go in and prepare, this girl, please come with me." β
Ah Lu looked at Hongdou, and Hongdou smiled slightly: "You go with him first, if there is anything dissatisfied, you can dispose of it." β
Fujibo's body trembled slightly, continued to maintain a kind smile, and led Ah Lu to the backyard of the mansion, while Hongdou took Lu Lianhua to the location of the study in the mansion.
Zhu's mansion is very large, the vine Bo led Ah Lu around the front hall and walked through a hanging flower door, followed by a hand-copying verandah, and then walked through a hall, the eyes suddenly opened, in front of a small flat land, on both sides is behind the narrow verandah, in front of a zigzag bridge, on the opposite side stands a craggy rockery, behind the mountain hides a corner pavilion and dense woods.
Just about to cross the bridge, a charming woman who hired Tingyuan walked out behind the rockery in front of her, she was wearing a scarlet light gauze long skirt, like a weak willow and walking lightly between the rockeries, and her eyes fell on Ah Lu when there was a momentary pause, and then she greeted her with a smile.
