Chapter 86
"Master, miss, after this day, many families have given us new year gifts. What do you think we should do?"

After the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Weimang and Lu Qingshan finally had a holiday, but Lu Weimang's hard days also came.

It may be that Niu Tianyu and the others have made some money. They are very high-profile these days, not only giving special products to old relatives with great fanfare, but also inviting friends and companions to eat out all day long.

Originally, only some well-informed people in Kyoto knew about the golden trade route in Qionglai.These days, Mr. Niu and others have been talking in the tea room of the restaurant for half a month, and the streets and alleys of Kyoto are discussing Qionglai trade routes, including the name of Lu Weimang's little God of Wealth, which has also become well known through the advocacy of Niu Tianyu and others.

These days, whenever the Lu family's carriage goes out, they will be pointed at by others. Even Cheng Yang and Changfeng have been stopped several times when they went to the academy.

Lu Qingshan went out but no one dared to stop the car, but Lu Qingshan's colleagues half dragged and half dragged Lu Qingshan to drink, telling him not only to offer advice to Mr. Niu, but also to help his own family.

So, even though it's already a holiday, the Lu family's life is not easy.You can neither go out at will, nor stay at home.

Because at any time, people you don't know at all will come to your door to give New Year gifts.

Is the gift easy to receive?They all have to be paid back.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan, including Lu Weimang, has been hiding at home for the past few days, and asked the housekeeper to come forward to refuse everyone's annual gift, saying that the master is not at home, and it is not good for him to be the master of the gift, and those who can be persuaded to go back are persuaded to go back, and those who are not If you go back, leave a post gift list and let Lu Qingshan and Lu Weimang make up their minds.

No, today is another thick gift list.

Lu Weimang looked at the post in his hand, "Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry? The head of the Ministry of Officials? Beicheng Bingma Division?~"

While reading the post, Lu Weimang glanced at Father Lu who was beside him.

Father Lu is also very interesting, "Hey, I go to Yasanya Road on weekdays, but I just joked a few times, so it's not worth it as a gift for so many years from them? It's not right, girl, you give this post to daddy, ah Dad stepped forward to return the gift, pushing away their good intentions!"

In the past few days, those who came to give New Year's gifts to the door were all people who said one or two words like this, who forcibly pulled the relationship, real old relatives and friends, but did not add fuel to the fire.

Lu Weimang had no choice but to put the thick post in her hand together with the previous few days, and rubbed her face. She had been bored at home for several days, and she took the initiative not to go out on weekdays. It is completely different from passively not going out and staying at home now.

When Cheng Yang and Chang Feng came home from school, they both had big bags and small bags on their bodies, Cheng Yang smiled wryly, "Sister, I couldn't dodge in time, so they blackmailed me. They dragged things on me and ran away, I didn't have time Hurry up and pay it back."

Chang Feng also had a look of fear, "That's right, that enthusiasm almost wants to eat me."

Lu Weimang looked at the two little ones, and angrily slapped the table to get up, "I don't listen to what I say, since ancient times, money touches people's hearts. It seems that hiding is not enough, and we have to take the initiative to solve it."

Lu Qingshan quickly grabbed his daughter, "Wei Mang, don't be angry, it's not good to tear your face apart. Besides, your family can tear your face apart, with so many families, when the time comes, even one bad one can drown our family with spittle."

Lu Weimang didn't know that this matter was difficult to handle. At the beginning, someone gave New Year's gifts.She explained all the reasons to others, and only said that the eldest son of the Niu family is in Qionglai, and that the Niu family's guards are all ready-made, so it has nothing to do with her, Lu, to make such a fortune so smoothly.

But the more she said that, the more the gift giver smiled, with a disgusting expression of "I know, I understand" in his eyes, which made Lu Weimang almost unable to suppress his anger, but he couldn't.Because they don't ask you to give advice, and they don't talk about business routes. They just say when they talked to Lu Qingshan at home, and they drank wine, which can be regarded as a long-standing relationship.

As the saying goes, "Don't reach out and hit a smiling face", and Lu Weimang couldn't refuse even if he didn't say anything.

Moreover, the gifts brought by these people are also very measured, such as dim sum from century-old shops. They said, "They are all cheap snacks, and they can be used for entertaining guests during the Chinese New Year. Don't refuse, is it because you think the things are not good enough?" it is good?"

Lu Weimang is not good at litigating, so he just watched everyone follow this routine.Although they are all worthless things, but for no reason, they took things from others, and it is unclear to talk about them later.

Lu Weimang really wanted to sew up the mouths of those sons and daughters of the Niu family.

Before leaving the capital, the sons of the Niu family were well-known playboys in the capital, and they called friends all day long.Once you are proud, don't try to publicize it. Anyway, based on their family background, they are already the sons of the founder of the dynasty and the top bulls in the dandy circle, so there is no need to shy away from it.It's just that Lu Weimang is suffering.

It's clear at a glance whether there is a foundation or not.The Niu family thought it was children playing tricks, but the Lu family couldn't stand the turmoil.

Under the worried eyes of everyone in the Lu family, Lu Weimang sat down slowly and looked at the family members around him, "Don't worry, I won't mess around. Besides, with so many families, how can I convince them one by one? "

Only then did Lu Qingshan and the housekeeper heave a sigh of relief, "Young girl is right, why don't you just leave this matter alone and let daddy come forward. I'll take out the list of annual gifts from these families, and give them double gifts one by one."

Lu Weimang waved his hand, "These people are like ants seeing honey, they will jump up and take a bite if it is beneficial. If you really double back, they will feel that they are doing the right thing, and they will make more progress in the future, ant We have to think about killing elephants too much. Don't go back to this year's ceremony, and talk about it when you find an opportunity."

Lu Weimang was thinking while talking, Lu Qingshan and the butler looked at each other with worries in their eyes.

It was reported that Qionglai's annual report was very good, and after the new year, the emperor would reward Lu Weimang. Although he didn't know what the specific reward was, it still couldn't be separated from the financial aspect.At this sensitive time, such uproar will definitely affect Lu Weimang's image in His Majesty's heart.

To destroy a person, sometimes it is only a shadowy, speculative news is enough.

People in the capital who don't know the inside story will definitely say that Lu Weimang is about to be promoted, and everyone in the capital has made friends in advance.The gifts received that year, the mansion couldn't hold them all.

If this word is passed on, it will become that before Lu Weimang took office, he took bribes wantonly.

Spread a rumor and break a leg.

"We can't let the situation go on like this." Lu Weimang said to himself.

Lu Weimang was worrying about how to solve the New Year's ceremony. Unexpectedly, the next day, another heavyweight came up to him. The housekeeper of Shun'an County Lord's Mansion, holding the list, drove the carriage to Lu Weimang. House gate.

"Is your lady at the mansion? We are from Princess Shun'an's mansion. The princess talked to your lady in front of the queen at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet a few days ago. It's not the end of the year. The princess misses Miss Lu, Not only did I send this carload of good things, but I also asked Miss Lu to come over and ask a few words."

Steward Lu took the invitation and took a look. This Princess Shun'an is very arrogant. When others invite people to the banquet, they always post the invitation two or three days in advance. This one is good, invite now.

"Is this treating our lady like a servant actor? It's disrespectful to come here on call. How can you be a princess when you do things?"

The butler entered the lobby angrily, and reported to the master and lady what the housekeeper of Shun'an County Lord's Mansion had said. Looking at Steward Lu angrily, it seemed that it was not she, but Lu Weimang, who was humiliated, but Lu Weimang, who took the invitation from the butler. , play around.

"Miss, are you really going? In the past, we were afraid that your temper would cause trouble, so we persuaded you to restrain your temper. But if someone humiliated you like this, we would not obey. You don't need to come forward, the old slave and the master will lead a few nursing homes , Hit the princess' mansion and let them give an explanation!"

Lu Qingshan also looked murderous.

The so-called scholar can be killed but not humiliated. For officials and officials, sometimes face is very important. That's why Father Lu and the housekeeper are so angry.

Lu Weimang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Butler, father, I don't need you to come forward, I will go by myself."

Seeing Lu Weimang's smiling face, the two of them couldn't figure it out, but they were all on the same front and disagreed with her going to the banquet, "I'm slapping you, why don't you put your face in it? Dad told you to be gentle, but It’s not that you have no temper at all and let others bully you! Don’t worry, with daddy here, they will definitely pay the price. If you dare to bully my daughter Lu Qingshan, daddy will knock out the front teeth of all the men in their palace.”

As Lu Qingshan said, he got up and walked out, ordering to the left and right as he walked, "Housekeeper, bring me my armor, Hu Huwei, gather the troops, and come with me to the Princess's Mansion for an explanation!"

Lu Weimang quickly called the housekeeper to stop, and then stopped the old man, "Father, can you still not trust me? Whoever she is, she has humiliated me, can I let her go? Don't show up, I will come and follow her." She reasoned and asked her to apologize to me in person, and you just take someone to an inconspicuous place outside the princess's mansion, and wait to meet me."

Only then did Lu Qingshan calm down, "Really, you are going to theory, not to a banquet?"

Lu Yi rolled his eyes, "What do you think? Am I the one who resigns myself?"

Lu Qingshan laughed, "This is my niece. You go first, niece, and I'll bring someone to meet you outside the princess' mansion."

On Lu Weimang's side, he didn't bring anyone with him, so he directly took the post to the housekeeper of the Princess's Mansion, "Let's go, don't make the Princess wait."

The housekeeper was a little surprised to see that Lu Weimang came here alone without a maid, but then he raised his head even more. Maybe he really regarded Lu Weimang as a girl from the countryside, and he was lucky to be in the capital A yellow-haired girl who stands still.

Lu Weimang didn't bother to look at the housekeeper's nostrils, so he jumped directly into the carriage of the Princess's Mansion, sat in front of the carriage with the groom, and went to the Princess's Mansion.

Now Lu Weimang is not the little transparent girl in Nuo Dajing, and now, there are many people staring at him openly and secretly. Here Lu Weimang is going to the princess mansion in the carriage of the princess mansion, and the news over there is word spread.

When Lu Weimang arrived at the princess mansion, he jumped off the carriage without waiting for the butler's orders, and swaggered in through the main entrance.

I don't know what a good day it is today. There are a lot of carriages outside the princess's mansion. Looking at the decorations of the carriages, it is complicated and gorgeous. It should be a respectable family in Kyoto.

The housekeeper of the princess's mansion saw Lu Weimang rushing into the mansion, jumped out of the carriage and grabbed Lu Weimang, Lu Weimang turned sideways to avoid the man's hand.

"Miss Lu, the princess is hosting a banquet in the backyard, and the front yard is full of men drinking. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to go in. It will be closer if we go in through the side door."

Lu Weimang ignored it, and walked straight in, but said, "You are wrong, I am also an imperial court official, the drinking men you mentioned may be colleagues with me, we Now that you're here at the princess mansion, why don't you say hello?"

Saying that, Lu Weimang went straight to the lively place.

After hearing Lu Weimang's words, the butler saw that although his face was smiling, his eyes were shining with coldness, and he didn't dare to really grab Lu Weimang, so he had to let Lu Weimang slow down so that he could report it, and at the same time asked someone to give it to the county. Lord's message.

Perhaps because of the name of "Little God of Wealth", this year, the Lu family received gifts from many noble families.

Some people couldn't bear it anymore, they ran to the door and asked Lu Weimang to give instructions, and Lu Weimang directly blasted out

Therefore, Lu Weimang became famous in the capital, although he was young, he was very tough, not easy to provoke, and no one dared to provoke him.

Some people regard it as an idol and think it is a role model for young people.

Some people think that she is ignorant and will suffer a lot in the future
