The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 359 That's His Business

"Third Brother~ You must not~!"

Hearing what the third brother said, Lu Wanlan hastily retorted:

"They are also thinking about the Lu family. The old shopkeepers on the shop are all my father's old department, and they have always been loyal. Let alone me, they have never shown mercy even if the fourth brother made a slight mistake. If you Wouldn't it be chilling to beat them in order to protect me?"

"But you are the patriarch of the Lu family appointed by father." Lu Yunli put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said seriously, "It's against the rules for the shopkeeper to take a blank account book. If you don't agree to stamp the patriarch's seal, other people will not come to help you." Forget it, you still question your decision, how can this be for the Lu family?"

"But I can't figure out the account, maybe they have no other way to make such a bad plan." Lu Wanlan replied with a guilty conscience, "And they also asked me about the business of the store, and I really don't know how to plan the layout next."

As she spoke, she unconsciously sighed again: "I have no experience in business, so it's fine if I just come up with some novel ideas, but it's still a bit difficult to shoulder such a big burden for the Lu family on my own."

Lu Wanlan had to admit it at this moment.

This was the first time she had the thought of shrinking back when faced with difficulties after coming to Da Zhou.

Even when faced with the assassination of Danba's seven tribes and the chaos caused by King Yu's rebellion, they never experienced it.

This is not shirking responsibility.

It is a deep understanding and reflection on one's own shortcomings.

Her cherishing of the Lu family and her brothers also made her worry about gains and losses, and she dared not act recklessly.

Seeing that Lu Yunli was thinking for a while and didn't speak, Lu Wanlan used his trump card again, pouting her pink lips and starting to act coquettishly:
"Third Brother~ You are the Tanhua Lang hand-picked by the late Emperor! Even so many difficult cases can be solved easily, a patriarch in this area will definitely not trouble you~ Just promise me~~"

After speaking, he smiled obsequiously and put vegetables on the porcelain plate in front of Lu Yunli.

It was the first time for Lu Yunli to see his younger sister being made so difficult, and he couldn't help being amused by her eagerness while feeling distressed.

But he still refused to agree to her request, and tried to persuade her while holding the vegetables:
"That account is not a scourge. You can figure it out if you put your mind to it. As for the others, tomorrow I will ask the people from the Ministry of Punishment to take you to Wang Gong's factory and let your fourth brother make a decision. You won't have to resign."

When Lu Wanlan heard this, she became anxious again: "But in the account of the shop in the capital, because I left a lot of shortfalls, the head of the family made a mistake and deserved to be punished. Besides, I'm already married to King Yan, so how can I continue to be the head of my natal family? ?”

"Are you talking about the 20 taels of tuition money?" Lu Yunli replied calmly, keeping silent about the marriage.

"Yes." Lu Wanlan nodded.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunli didn't care about it after hearing it, he just smiled slightly and said:

"Several 10 taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, but the Lu family can still afford it. The Lu family's property is spread all over the Zhou Dynasty, and the shop in the capital is only one-twelfth of a tenth. My brother wrote a letter not long ago, saying that the horses at the Liaodong Racecourse are well-raised. Just wait for the border market to open, and a large amount of money will come in. On the other side of Zhuyahai, a few boats of pearls picked in autumn will also be sent over. But there is no need for these."

Speaking of this, Lu Yunli picked up his job casually again, and said lightly: "The income from the water transportation of the Twelve Cities of Linshui alone is enough for you to toss about."

Seeing that the little girl suddenly became nervous, she knew that she couldn't refute.Lu Yunli held back his smile and didn't make any noise, just put a chopstick of rice in his mouth.

"Uh" Lu Wanlan smiled awkwardly, and asked tentatively, "Didn't the third brother, the fourth brother tell you?"

"tell me what?"

"The Twelve City of Linshui, he has already given it to the prince."

"cough"

Lu Yunli choked, and immediately changed his expression.

While forcefully swallowing the food in his mouth, he took the silk handkerchief from Xiao Xi's hand and covered the corner of his mouth.

I have already started to regret in my heart: Why didn't I lock up my fourth child for a few more months!
It's no wonder that the King of Yan proposed to let the younger sister go south on the pretext of visiting the twelve cities of Linshui, and then go to Liaodong.

It turns out that there is a reason for this.

Seeing Lu Yunli's pale face, Lu Wanlan hastily handed over tea: "Third brother, you are choking, drink some tea to moisten yourself."

I don't know what the two of them are talking about.

Here, Lu Yunli calmed down, and Chi Zheng reported something: "Third Lord, Miss. The prince sent Tang Feng over, saying that Concubine Shu will return to the palace tonight, and I would like to invite the concubine to go back for dinner."

"The concubine mother is back?" Lu Wanlan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he answered immediately, "I haven't seen the concubine mother since I came back from the paddock. I haven't seen the prince for two days, go tell Tang Feng "

"Tell him not to go."

Lu Yunli replied coldly:
"Since we are going to remarry, it means that the previous weddings are not counted, and now you are no longer a couple. It is so late, and it is not appropriate for you to go to the man's mansion to eat alone with a daughter who is waiting to be married."

Chi Zheng took the order to go out, but Lu Wanlan couldn't sit still.She got up and wanted to chase Chi Zheng back, but was stopped by Lu Yunli:

"You sit."

"Third Brother~ Is this not good?" Lu Wanlan sat back to the original place, as a gesture of embarrassment, "I can do all the canonization ceremonies, if this matter gets out, the prince will inevitably be criticized."

"That's his business."

Lu Yunli held up his chopsticks again, and when he mentioned Xiao Yanzhi, he had no patience at all:

"Since he said that he wants to marry you again, he must first perform the three letters and six ceremonies. After the natal family has seen each other, he will set up a new mansion and ask for the seal. When the Qin Tianjian selects an auspicious day, the Ministry of Rites will award the crown, clothes, Books and rituals. Then comes the ceremony of the big wedding, offering to the heavens and the earth, and telling the people below, nothing will be lost."

Thinking of the many regrets that the younger sister had in marrying into the Prince Yan's mansion, and that the King of Yan really did not treat the younger sister very well, Lu Yunli couldn't help but turn a little colder:
"Even if this matter is spread, there are rumors, that is what he deserves."

Seeing that the third brother's attitude was so firm, Lu Wanlan was afraid that it might be counterproductive, so she explained:

"However, the second brother and the fourth brother asked me to care more about the lord, and then try to catch him at the right time. Now it has finally achieved results. If this is the case, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?"

"What they teach you are all small tricks, which are useless to King Yan."

Lu Yunli comforted Lu Wanlan gently while picking up food for Lu Wanlan:

"Listen to the third brother. I will teach you to settle the accounts after lunch. If there is anything you don't understand, you can go to Wang Gong's factory tomorrow and ask your fourth brother. Three days later, I will call the shopkeepers to discuss matters, and you just sit in the main room. Read more and learn more, don't bother with the others."

Seeing Lu Wanlan nod heavily, she added another sentence softly:
"As for King Yan, it's up to him."

After talking about this topic, the two continued to eat while talking and laughing.

The other courtyard of Dingguo Mansion was peaceful, but the Yanwang Mansion on the opposite side was a different scene.

Standing in the study, Tang Feng looked at the broken porcelain on the ground and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

After the prince inquired about Master Lu's reply, he crushed a teacup, and then sat in front of the long table with a dark face, motionless.

It was a happy thing to receive the news that the concubine was leaving the palace.

Unexpectedly, the princess is staying at her mother's house and will not come back.

If outsiders know about this, they might laugh at my lord!
If you want to say that the prince is really true, he went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to talk about things when he had nothing to do. This time he offended the third uncle, but he has a way to punish the prince.
Tang Feng was slandering in his heart, but he heard his prince finally say: "Go and invite Granny Hairpin."

Tang Feng was puzzled: "My lord? Why did you invite that old lady?"

Xiao Yanzhi suppressed his anger, took another breath of relief, and then slowly uttered two words:
"Propose marriage."

　Thank you for your support.
