Chapter 101;
After leaving the palace, on the way back to the mansion, Lu Yaoyao was speechless.

Qiu Yu, who was accompanying her, wanted to ask her several times, but seeing her pensive expression, she didn't dare to disturb her.

Lu Yaoyao didn't speak until he returned to the courtyard.

"I'm a little hungry, Qiu Yu, go and get me something to eat."

Qiu Yu retreated in response.

She had just left for a while when the second uncle of the Lu family who got the news of her return came.

"Yaoyao, Your Majesty."

Seeing his worried expression, Lu Yaoyao gave him a comforting smile, motioned him to sit down first, and then told about today's entry into the palace.

When he heard that Emperor Hongwen did entrust the Xuan paper and printing techniques to the Lu family, Lu Kang was both happy and worried.

Of course, there are still many worries.

"You did well."

Although the opportunity is good, you have to have your life to enjoy it.

Life is gone, what use is this opportunity and the name of the imperial merchant?

"Although I missed it this time, it is not that there will be other opportunities in the future."

Lu Yaoyao has some plans in mind for the future development of the Lu family.

In fact, this time Emperor Hongwen suddenly moved his mind, she didn't expect it at first.

After learning about it, she immediately refused. The reason why she explained to the second uncle was because she wanted to see what the second uncle thought.

If she refuses at that time, everyone in the Lu family hopes to do it. At that time, things will be opened up and people will complain.

But the second uncle's mind is relatively clear, and he was not tempted.

"Yes, people still have chances when they are alive. Our Lu family has a shallow foundation. It is not a good thing for us to take too many steps at once."

Lu Yaoyao also agrees with this very much.

"It's good that the second uncle can think like this, and we can develop slowly and steadily."

The nephew and uncle chatted for a while, and Qiu Yu came back with a food box.

"Yaoyao ran away for a day, you eat first, and the second uncle will leave first."

After Lu Kang left, Lu Yaoyao went to the table and sat down.

"Miss, this servant is very happy to see the second uncle. Is it the matter of the emperor's business?"

"No."

Lu Yaoyao shook her head while enjoying the delicious food of Baizhenlou.

"Your Majesty has the intention, but I refused."

She also knew what Lu Yaoyao and Uncle Lu analyzed yesterday. Although the imperial businessman is good, it is also very dangerous for the Lu family.

"Refused?"

King Jin's Mansion, just after hearing Yan San's report, King Jin frowned, very surprised.

"Yes, my lord, you used to say that Miss Lu is smart."

"From your subordinate's point of view, isn't this all right?"

Yan San pouted.

If you refuse such a good opportunity, don't you know that becoming an imperial merchant is the same as having the emperor's backing?

For the current Lu family, being able to find the emperor as a backer is a great thing. Not only has their status soared, but it will not be easy for the Gao family to move them.

"You are usually shrewd, but when faced with temptation, your mind is a little unclear."

Originally, he also thought that Lu Yaoyao might agree. After all, this opportunity is really good, and the things he can get are also very good.

But the more you get, the more you pay and the more you have to face.

"If I were the king, I would refuse this opportunity."

Yan San was taken aback, this is obviously a good thing, why did he refuse?
"You only see the benefits, but not the hidden dangers."

"Is the gentry easy to deal with?"

"If it is easy to deal with, why did Your Majesty wait until today?"

"This opportunity is indeed very good for the Lu family, but if it is accepted, the Lu family will become a thorn in the side of the gentry. How long can the Lu family withstand the counterattack of the gentry?"

Hearing this, Yan San immediately retorted, "Isn't there still Your Majesty here?"

"His Majesty?"

King Jin pouted with a sneer.

"At some point, do you think he will choose Jiangshan's stability, or choose to protect Lu's family?"

For the elder brother Hongwendi, he knows best, loves Jiangshan more than anything else, even though he has always wanted to deal with the nobles.

He also wished to suppress all the gentry, but that was on the premise that the price was not high. If the country would be shaken, he would choose the country without hesitation, so as to calm things down.

The reason why the gentry became more and more powerful was because they understood this point.

Emperor Hongwen was capable, but his courage was still a bit weak.

"It's hard to say, after all."

"There is nothing bad to say. This king can give you an affirmative answer. At that time, the Lu family will definitely be the first person pushed out by him to put out the fire."

"Miss Lu should be very aware of this."

Yan San was a little surprised by these words.

"Is she really that powerful?"

If King Jin would make such a choice, it would be a decision made after knowing Emperor Hongwen's character well.

Lu Yaoyao also met Emperor Hongwen two or three times. Can this tell the character of Emperor Hongwen?

He felt somewhat impossible.

"She may not understand His Majesty, but she understands the situation in Dongzhou."

"You, don't underestimate this girl from Lu, she's capable."

It's really not small, can an ordinary girl take out four fetishes that Dongzhou can worship as a godsend?

And he has a feeling that Lu Yaoyao definitely has more than these in his hands, and he should also have a lot of unknown fetishes.

Otherwise, how could she be so generous and give four pieces at once?

In other people's eyes, she was trading these four things for the safety of the Lu family, but he always felt that things were not that simple.

This girl is amazing.

"Since you are so powerful, why don't you marry Miss Lu into your mansion as a princess?"

"This way you can join forces."

Hearing Yan San's thoughts again, King Jin frowned.

"No nonsense."

He looked at Lu Yaoyao differently, but he never thought about the princess or something.

Although it is also very clear that if she can be his own princess, it will be very good for him.

But some things can't just look at the benefits.

He thought, it doesn't mean others think too, but he always remembered what Lu Yaoyao once said, he didn't want to get involved in the royal family's battle.

From the current point of view, if he had such an idea, Lu Yaoyao might also refuse it, and even said that he would kill the relationship that had been developed with great difficulty.

"This subordinate is talking nonsense. This is a good thing."

"My lord, you are also a prince after all. If she enters the palace, she will be the princess."

"Without this opportunity, the Lu family has become the concubine's natal family, and their status can also soar a lot."

Yan San talked lively on his own, completely not noticing the gloomy expression on King Jin's face.

"presumptuous!"

A sudden shout interrupted Yan San's chattering.

Seeing this, Yan San knelt down with a puff.

"My lord, calm down."

"Hmph, it seems that this king has indulged you too much, making you lose all rules."

King Jin's cold voice made Yan San's heart shudder.

"Go down and get twenty sticks, and next time, you won't have to serve by my king's side."

"Yes, my subordinates are wrong."

Yan San retreated obediently to receive the punishment.
