() In the Lu garden, there were laughter and laughter, cups and cups were placed, and there was a joyous atmosphere. Lu Lengyue was toasting again and again between the banquets. Even if he stopped drinking, his eyes looked out from time to time, as if he wanted to see what time it was, and in the depths of his pupils, there was an imperceptible color of impatience.

Chu Huan was always smiling, occasionally looking at Fang Tongzhi from the corner of his eyes, but he could see the absent-minded look in Fang Tongzhi's eyes.

"Your Excellency, there is actually one more matter that I want to discuss with the Governor." Lu Lengyue sat beside Yuan Chongshang, leaning closer to Yuan Chongshang and said in a low voice. ..

At this time, there was a lot of drinking and drinking on the table, but not many people paid attention to Yuan Chongshang and Lu Lengyue's whispering.

"What did Dong Lu's family say?"

Lu Lengyue said softly: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Governor, my Lu family had a happy event to do a few years ago."

"Oh?" Yuan Chongshang was very interested, and teased in a low voice: "Could it be that Lu Dong's family is going to marry a new wife?"

Lu Lengyue hastily said: "Don't you dare? My lord is joking. But half of what my lord said is true. My Lu family is preparing to welcome new people into the house. I found a fortune-telling tester two days ago. But there is no auspicious day, and the best day will be in a month...!"

Yuan Chongshang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Lu Lengyue hurriedly picked up the jug and poured the wine herself. Yuan Chongshang thought for a while and said, "In a month's time, wouldn't it be the New Year's Eve?" ..

Lu Lengyue said with a smile: "My lord is wise, the day of auspiciousness is chosen on the first day of the new year."

Yuan Chongshang smiled and said: "This is really interesting." He asked: "Which one of the Lu Dong family is that happy?"

"It's a puppy." Yuan Chongshang said softly.

"Oh?" Yuan Chongshang said with great interest, "Didn't your son already have two wives?"

Lu Lengyue sighed: "Family affairs are not easy to publicize, but the little dog and the two daughters-in-law have not even given birth to an heir...!"

Yuan Chongshang looked suddenly enlightened, and said with a smile: "Understood, I understand." He lowered his voice and asked, "Which family is the girl from?"

Lu Lengyue smiled wryly and sighed: "It's the daughter of a family friend in the northwest. Almost all of his family members were killed when Xiliang invaded. Only my niece escaped and came from the northwest." He said with emotion: "Her family is ruined and she has no one to rely on. She has reached the age of marriage. Naturally, I don't want to delay her. I want to find a family for her, find a good home for her, who knows...!"

Yuan Chongshang approached with a low laugh and said, "Could it be that this girl has taken a fancy to your son?"

Lu Lengyue sighed: "Little Dog takes good care of her, the so-called love for a long time...!" Then she raised her brows and said with a smile: "Mr. For a big wedding, being the officiant, my Lu family can be proud because of the love of the governor, the officiant... After much deliberation, I can only beg the governor to come forward."

Yuan Chongshang smiled and said: "This is a good thing. At that time, the Huang family must have been pacified, and there will be many happy events. The governor will naturally come forward to be the officiant."

Lu Lengyue showed gratitude and offered another cup to Yuan Chongshang.

The guests were laughing and chatting, and there were delicacies on the table. Lu Lengyue invited dishes again and again, and even made a toast to Chu Huan several times.

Seeing that Li Wangsun only drank a few glasses of wine without moving his chopsticks, Chu Huan said with a smile: "General Li, the table is full of delicacies, don't they suit your taste?"

Li Wangsun shook his head with a smile, picked up the chopsticks, glanced at the dishes on the table, finally picked up the chopsticks, and poked towards the steamed sea bass, but instead of picking up the fish, he took out the eyeball of a sea bass and put it on the table. on its own plate.

Chu Huan was a little strange, but he saw that Li Wangsun had put the fish-eye ball into his mouth, but soon, Li Wangsun made a "huo" and "huo" sound from his throat, and then he saw Li Wangsun put the fish-eye ball into his mouth. The fish eyeball coughed out of his mouth. <Beside him, he couldn't help but said: "Commander Li, could it be that you feel uncomfortable?"

Li Wangsun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My mother told me before that eating fish eyeballs can improve eyesight, so I would eat fisheye beads when I saw fish before." The color of doubt.

"My little girl also told me that eating fish's eyes is a bit cruel." Li Wangsun said: "Thinking of this sentence, I dare not eat it."

Yuan Chongshang immediately said: "Young girl, do you still take it seriously? It's cruel to take eyes off, but isn't it cruel to eat fish?"

Li Wangsun smiled slightly, but did not speak.

After drinking for three rounds, it was already late at night, and many guests came to bid farewell to Yuan Chongshang. Yuan Chongshang drank a few more glasses tonight, feeling a little drunk. Seeing this, Lu Lengyue hurriedly invited Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan to come After drinking some tea in the back hall to soothe the hangover, Chu Huan and Yuan Chongshang came to the back hall, and soon Yuan Chongshang brought the tea himself. After sitting down, he saw no one around, clapped his hands, and turned a person out from the side , it was Lu Shixun.

Lu Shixun held two silver boxes in his hand, which were not very big. Lu Lengyue took them, stepped forward, put the two boxes beside Chu Huan and Yuan Chongshang, one for each, and said with a smile: "My lord, the governor My lord, this is a new gadget I got recently, Lu is just an ordinary person who doesn't know how to appreciate it, so please accept it!"

Yuan Chongshang put down the teacup, stretched out his hand to open it casually, and saw a gentle light glowing inside, and at a glance, he saw that it was a night pearl, and couldn't help laughing: "Lu Dong's family, how can you be so embarrassed?"

Chu Huan naturally also saw that he was very familiar with the Ye Mingzhu. From Xiliang, he got three big Ye Ming Pearls that were rare in the world, which were much larger and more precious than the beads sent by Lu Lengyue. , but even so, Lu Lengyue easily sent up two night pearls, but it was really generous.

Lu Lengyue smiled and said: "Red powder is given to beauties, and swords are given to heroes. Naturally, only two adults are qualified to enjoy this pearl."

Chu Huan smiled faintly, and saw that Lu Shixun beside Lu Lengyue still had a look of resentment deep in his pupils, knowing that this guy hated himself to the core, looked at Lu Shixun with a smile and said, "Young master Lu, I am really serious!" There is something for you."

Lu Shixun said "Oh", and said calmly: "I don't know what orders the imperial envoy has?"

Chu Huan coughed twice, slowly took out something from his sleeve, and handed it to Yuan Chongshang. Yuan Chongshang was quite curious, took it and opened it, his face showed surprise, and he looked at Lu Shixun with a strange look , Lu Shixun saw Yuan Chongshang's strange expression, and immediately felt something was wrong, but he heard Yuan Chongshang asked Chu Huan: "Master Chu, this Su Linlang Su's family is...?"

"It's Chu's fiancée." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Young Master Lu knows her, and Dong Lu's family will not forget it either."

Lu Shixun had changed color slightly, but Lu Lengyue still smiled, nodded and said: "Niece Linlang, Lu certainly remembers it." With a bit of doubt, "It's just that Lu remembers niece Linlang's husband's family seems to be It's Fan, and...!" He didn't continue, but smiled very kindly.

"And the eldest son of the Fan family is dead." Chu Huan then said with a smile: "So Lin Lang is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Fan family."

"So that's how it is." Lu Lengyue sighed: "It's really not easy for niece Linlang. The Su family in Yunshan and my Lu family in Taiyuan are business partners and have a good relationship. Su's old boss is a top-notch talent in the business world. If you don't go, I will definitely be able to make a great career, but it's a pity...hey, heaven is jealous of talents!" Shaking his head regretfully.

Chu Huan nodded and said: "What Dong's family said is that Lin Lang is a girl who runs a house alone. It's very hard. Those with a conscience will naturally take care of them. But how many people have a conscience in this world? You can see people who have fallen into trouble everywhere."

Lu Lengyue didn't change her face, and said with a smile: "What the imperial envoy said is true. The Su and Lu families can be regarded as family friends. If the Su family has any use in the future, my Lu family is obliged. .”

Chu Huan laughed and said: "Dong Lu's family is really benevolent and righteous." Having already taken the document from Yuan Chongshang, he said to Lu Shixun, "This time I came to Taiyuan and passed through Yunshan. Lin Lang specially asked me to come and visit Lu Shixun. Young Master, in fact, the Su family is indeed in some difficulties now, and they need the help of the Lu Dong family!"

Lu Lengyue smiled and said, "Don't dare."

"He Shengquan of the Su family has become the home of Yushan Dao Yujiu, so the business will inevitably increase, and there will be more places to spend money." Chu Huan sighed: "Recently, the money in the account is a bit stretched, and Lin Lang is depressed every day. Very, fortunately, I suddenly remembered that Dong Lu's family still has some accounts, which can be urgently needed, so I stopped by to settle the accounts!"

Lu Lengyue finally frowned, and asked puzzledly, "What account?"

Chu Huan handed over the IOU in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is an IOU written by your son. By the way, there is your handprint on it, but there is not much money. The IOU says 10 taels of silver. , even if you add interest, it’s not much silver.”

Lu Lengyue's expression changed drastically.

Of course, 10 taels of silver is not a small amount, even for the Lu family, 10 taels of silver is definitely not a small sum. Lu Lengyue can see clearly at this moment that this is an owed receipt, and there is indeed something wrong with it. Lu Shixun's signature and handprint.

"Shixun, what's going on?" Lu Lengyue said in a deep voice.

Lu Shixun's expression was extremely ugly, he gritted his teeth, and before he could speak, Chu Huan said, "Actually, the matter is simple. The Su family ordered a batch of food from the Lu family, but they failed to fulfill the agreement for some reason. Mr. Lu was in Yunshan at that time. I remember explaining that it was because the road was blocked by heavy snow, so we couldn't deliver food. Fortunately, Mr. Lu is a sensible person. He knew that breaking the appointment would cause great losses to the Su family, so he wrote this note without hesitation. Compensation of 10 taels of silver. In addition, it is stated on the indebtedness that the calculation is based on 12 taels of profit every year, it seems that it is exactly one year now, and the sum is only [-] taels of silver, Mr. Lu, is my calculation correct?"

Lu Shixun finally couldn't bear it and said, "You...there is something wrong with this receipt...!"

Chu Huan said "Oh", slowly picked up the teacup, blew on the powdered tea, and said calmly: "Mr. Lu said that there is something wrong with this indebtedness, what's the problem?" His eyes turned cold, " Repaying debts is a matter of course, I will not do other things in my life, but I will ask for debts, and what I owe, even if it is the end of the world, even if it is ten or a hundred years, will eventually be repaid!"
