The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 27 The Different Salted Fish

Lu Yunli lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, but was speechless for a moment.

The eyes that couldn't see any emotions made the Lu family brothers in the hall even more anxious, guessing, what is so mysterious?
Lu Wanlan was drinking tea casually, her eyes wandering back and forth between the third brother and Xiao Yan.

Thinking of how last night, Xiao Yanzhi not only sat still, but even deliberately teased herself, she couldn't help but doubt her own charm.

Now, seeing this man sitting here with a dignified appearance, I feel even more annoyed.

Why is it as if nothing happened to him?I also thought about preparing gifts.

Looking at the third brother again, the smile gradually emerged from the corner of his mouth, which made her even more confused.

What kind of rare treasure is in that box?How could it fall into the eyes of the third brother?

Lu Yunli, who was watching, was full of thoughts at this moment.

With just one glance, he could tell that this salted fish was different.

The table salt in Dazhou was set by the imperial court, and the price of salt has risen even more in recent years.If ordinary people season their meals with salt three times a day, it is considered a luxury, so why would they use it to pickle fish?

If fishermen want to pickle fish, they will go to the salt official to get special red salt for pickling fish according to the quantity of fish caught.Therefore, the salted fish sold in the market will have a light pink color.

However, this salted fish is completely white, and the powdered salt is crystal clear.

One can tell at a glance that the salt used to marinate the fish must be the expensive table salt.

If this fish is a rare species, it will cost a lot of silver taels.

But even so, it is just a salted fish, what does the prince mean by sending this?
"As expected of His Highness King Yan, it is such a big handwriting." Lu Yunli suddenly broke the silence, the light and darkness in his eyes intertwined but were like mist in the mountains, showing a bit of coldness but without distinction between joy and anger, "Unexpectedly, the prince usually I have a special liking for this object, and actually spent a lot of money to build it, which really flatters me."

"Where is there." Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips, his face was calm and breezy, but the sharpness in his tone could not be concealed, "This king just got it from Shanxi by accident, so this time is considered a gift to Buddha with flowers."

"Shanxi?"

When Lu Yunli heard the place name, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Both the DPRK and China know that they are investigating the Shanxi Caicha case, and most officials avoid it for fear of being involved.

And this King Yan knocked on his door with a salted fish from Shanxi.

"That's right, this product is produced in many counties in Shanxi, but it's very popular." Xiao Yanzhi said, then picked up the teacup and played with it in his palm again, "If it wasn't for the wedding with Lingmei, I'm afraid the king would have given it away. Dedicated to the emperor."

After hearing these words, Lu Yunli understood that if this object came from an ordinary family, it would prove one thing, that is, the sale of private salt has already appeared in Shanxi, and even became popular.

If Xiao Yanzhi knew everything about this, he must know everything about the court, wouldn't it be as simple as not asking about worldly affairs?
Although he is gentle, respectful and frugal on the surface, he can retreat every step of the way, and his few words show that he is unfathomable.No wonder the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager secretly coveted the Yanbei fiefdom.

It's no wonder that my younger sister fell in love with this person at first sight.

The conversation was cloudy and foggy, but the Lu family brothers still understood the deep meaning.

Seeing that the two seem to hit it off, they both seem to have something to say.The second elder brother Lu Yunfan leaned against his body, fiddled with the emerald fan pendant: What did Xiao Yanzhi give as a gift? How could the third brother be bribed by him?Could it be some ulterior trick?
Then he passed a look to Lu Yungui, the fifth brother, but seeing that the fifth younger brother's round eyes were also full of doubts, another white eye flew into the sky.

But the fourth brother Lu Yunzhao heard the clues, and the abacus beads in his brain sounded instantly: Good things that even the Holy One can't catch?Even King Yan only got one, and if the Lu family can get it, they might make a lot of money.

Seeing the unbelievable expressions of the brothers, Lu Yunce sneered, disdainful in his heart: No matter what good things he has, our Lu family doesn't care for them!
Then he gave Lu Wanlan a wink: You don't have to worry about brother being here!

Lu Wanlan, who glanced at Sixth Brother, remained silent, her eyes scanned her surroundings, feeling that the atmosphere was getting more and more uncomfortable.

Just about to say something to break the deadlock.

But seeing the third elder brother Lu Yunli suddenly put the brocade box on the table beside him.

With a humble and polite face, they cast probing gazes at Xiao Yanzhi, and a cold front flitted across the pupils of both of them, deep and cold, and disappeared in an instant.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, the two suddenly burst out laughing.

"My lord, I have prepared food and drinks and a few good shows, why don't we watch while we eat."

"Very good."

After finishing speaking, the two walked towards the stage in the backyard together.

Although Lu Wanlan didn't hear the twists and turns in the two people's words, she also faintly sensed that the matter was definitely not simple, so she followed directly.

The brothers from the Lu family in the room looked at me and I looked at you. Although they didn't understand what they were talking about, they walked out of the front hall.

Xiao Yanzhi and Lu Yunli walked very fast, but Lu Wanlan lost his way because he had never been to this other courtyard before.

Just as he was walking to the corridor, he was suddenly grabbed by the arm by a man and dragged into the side hall forcefully.

"Ah..." Just as he was about to shout, his mouth was covered by the sixth elder brother Lu Yunce who came to meet him.

Then came the second brother, fourth brother and fifth brother, gesturing desperately around her to tell her not to make a sound.

Nodding her head, Lu Wanlan was let go.

"What are you doing here?"

She already had enough doubts, but she was even more puzzled by this, but she saw the sixth brother Lu Yunce looked out thoughtfully, then closed the door gently, turned around and pressed himself on a chair :

"I ask you what to answer, and you are not allowed to hide."

Before Lu Wanlan could nod his head, the fourth brother Lu Yunzhao spoke first, with a rather anxious tone: "Is the canonization ceremony feasible?"

"Well, that's enough, I was just in the palace, and it took me a while." Lu Wanlan nodded and pointed casually.

"How is the mother-in-law treating you?" Fifth brother Lu Yungui answered the question and asked.

"Well, well, it's pretty good."

"What about brother-in-law? How is brother-in-law treating you?" The sixth brother Lu Yunce became a little impatient when he mentioned Xiao Yanzhi, but he still asked worriedly.

"Oh. He, he..."

"Oh, do you know what's in that box?" Second brother Lu Yunfan asked impatiently without waiting for her answer.

"I...I don't know either..."

Seeing the innocent face of the little girl, Lu Yunfan became more and more curious about the gift: "How could you not know? You two are together every day..."

"Oh~ it's not important, time is running out, quickly pick the key points!" Lu Yunzhao, the fourth brother, hurriedly interrupted Lu Yunfan.

"The point? What is the point?"

Lu Wanlan saw several brothers, you pushed me, I pulled you, but they refused to ask any more questions.

Then he pretended to open the door and go out: "If you're all right, I'm leaving!"

"Hey! Little sister, don't go!" Second brother Lu Yunfan said while pushing Lu Yunce to the front, "Quick! You and my little sister get along best on weekdays, so hurry up and ask!"

Lu Wanlan pursed her mouth: "Sixth Brother, what exactly do you want to ask?"

"Well, little sister, you and King Yan, you..." Lu Yunce hesitated and let out a heavy breath.

"What about us?"

Seeing the little girl's curious, cute and innocent face, and thinking about his own problems, Lu Yunce's face suddenly turned red like a tomato.

"Have you consummated the house?" After finishing speaking, she rushed out the door in shame.

"What?!" Lu Wanlan, who stayed where she was, suddenly felt thunderbolt.
