The two brothers were talking in a low voice, but the manager outside was staggering under the rain and fog, stepping on his shoes soaked in water, hurriedly entered the yard, knocked on the door, and hurriedly replied: "Master, there are people outside. The little brother who drove the carriage said that it was sent by General Lu, so the master hurried over to pick it up!"

Wei Yanping was stunned for a moment, then frowned and opened the door, waving impatiently at the manager: "Send it away!"

Hearing the order, the steward hesitated and was about to leave, when Wei Yanping yelled suddenly: "Forget it, you take him over, you don't need to send him to the mansion, just find a suitable place to settle him."

The manager hurriedly nodded his head in response, and walked out again against the heavy rain.

Wei Yanliang looked at the back of Manager Le Yan, stared at Wei Yanping with a puzzled face and asked, "Why did the general send someone here?"

The smile on Wei Yanping's face froze for a moment, then he frowned and shook his head with a wry smile.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, the steward came back again, his clothes were drenched by the heavy rain, he bowed to Wei Yan in embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "Master, the little brother said that the general has spoken , I have to go pick him up personally..."

"Bastard!" Wei Yanping frowned, knocked on the manager's shoulder with a fan, stamped his feet and started cursing, "Zhou Chuan is out of order! Hmph!" He gritted his teeth and cursed, but stepped forward. out.The manager hurriedly followed behind, holding an umbrella for Wei Yanping, and hurriedly followed out.

Zhou Chuan was wearing a black bamboo hat, and the rain was pouring out along the outside of the bamboo hat.Seeing Wei Yanping coming out, before Wei Yanping could speak, he bowed his head and saluted.He smiled courteously and said: "Greetings to Lord Wei. The little one was ordered by the general to send him to the mansion. Please take a look at the man. Our master said that he must be sent to the mansion intact. Just go up!"

Seeing the anger on Wei Yanping's face while talking, Zhou Chuan laughed unkindly again, as if suddenly remembering something, he patted his head and coughed: "I almost forgot about one thing, before you come here, the nanny beside our wife specially I told the little girl that this Miss Qin is really pitiful, and she looks so weak. If Mr. Wei really feels sorry for Miss Qin, you might as well ask her, whether she is a girl or a concubine. I'm willing. It's all thanks to Master Wei's kindness."

Wei Yanping's face became darker and darker. He stared at Zhou Chuan and snorted fiercely, but his heart sank.I'm afraid that lady's temperament is not easy to get along with.Such a little girl, why did he underestimate her back then!Anyway, she was the second daughter-in-law carefully selected by the king of Xining, he was really careless!

Why didn't he take away that girl Qin yesterday on a whim?He didn't lift a rock and shoot himself in the foot!

Wei Yanping took a breath.Rubbing his chest again, he let out a long breath of sullen air, frowned and glanced at Zhou Chuan.Without even looking at the person behind the curtain of the car, he raised his hand and impatiently directed the steward and the boy following behind: "Pull the car in!"

"Be careful, be careful, don't bump into each other, Mr. Wei will have to check it when you turn around." Zhou Chuan interrupted with a smile behind a few people, and was stared at by Wei Yanping and laughed twice. Chao Wei Yanping saluted and said goodbye, and his figure quickly disappeared into the misty water curtain.

"Master. This carriage..." The steward looked at Wei Yanping's face and the sleeping figure in the carriage.asked hesitantly.

"You can figure it out!" Wei Yanping waved his hands with a dark face, grabbed the umbrella from the manager's hand, and went straight back to the backyard.

The steward looked at his master's back in embarrassment, then at the rain-soaked carriage outside, and sighed in distress.There is also a girl in this car, and the master has not spoken, how should he arrange it?

The heavy rain has been falling from morning to noon, and then it slowly stopped.

At the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, Wei Yanliang stepped on the spray on the bluestone road, hurried out with two stewards, and headed all the way to the small courtyard near the city gate.

In the yard, Lin Wan and Lu Junzhao had lunch together, then Zhou Chuan hurried into the yard wearing a bamboo hat, his face was smeared with water, but his eyes were extremely bright, with some pride hidden in them, and he followed Lu Junzhao at the door. Jun Zhao replied.

"Master, the person has been sent to Master Wei's residence."

Lu Junzhao hummed, and Zhou Chuan walked away knowingly, with a smug grin, he jumped onto the wall and patted Zhou Ming's shoulder. Zhou Ming looked at Zhou Chuan with contempt and disgust, and swept up and down like looking at a fool. Zhou Chuan took a look, and then hid into the wall again.

Lu Junzhao looked back at the bright smile in Lin Wan's eyes, embraced Lin Wan and explained softly: "I asked Zhou Chuan to send Wei Yanping's people there. The Wei family started as a merchant, and later the ancestors of the Wei family followed Lu The ancestors of the Wei family joined the army together, and the Lu family and the Wei family are also considered family friends. The younger generations of the Wei family have their own merits, and they are still quite disciplined. The fourth Wei Yanliang of the Wei family has a talent for business. I asked him to follow us to Longchuan Mansion, Ah Wan, do you want to meet him? If you think he is useful, use it, if not, don't worry too much."

"My lord has taken a fancy to the fourth son of the Wei family?" Lin Wan looked up at Lu Junzhao with a half-smile.

Lu Junzhao waved his hands and said with a smile: "I just remembered that he can do business. The Wei family has a foundation in the north. If you can use it, that's great. If you don't like him, forget it."

The two were talking, when the little girl outside came in to reply, saying that the fourth young master of Duke Wei's mansion had brought someone over to visit the master and his wife.

Lin Wan raised her eyebrows, looked at Lu Junzhao with a pursed smile and said, "Since you're here, you must see him!"

Lu Junzhao nodded with a smile, and took Lin Wan to the living room together.

Wei Yanliang was wearing a moon-white gown, his stature was about the same as Wei Yanping's, and his appearance was five points similar, but his eyes were extremely bright and energetic, with a faint smile on his face, and his whole person was bookish, looking closely, It's somewhat similar to Liao Zhongwen.

Wei Yanliang stood at the door with his head down, respectfully and calmly saluted Lu Junzhao and Lin Wan, his eyes stayed on Lu Junzhao's hand holding Lin Wan for a moment, then retracted it without a trace, With a slight movement in his heart, he saluted Lin Wan again, and said with a gentle smile, "Madam may not recognize me."

"I'll recognize you when I see you." Lin Wan knelt back and smiled at Lu Junzhao, "Is this the fourth brother of the Wei family?"

Lu Junzhao nodded and signaled Wei Yanliang to come in and sit down. Lin Wan turned around and ordered Lianqiao to serve tea, and was led by Lu Junzhao to sit next to Lu Junzhao.

"I heard from Wei Yanping that your business has been doing well in the past few years?" Lu Junzhao looked at Wei Yanliang, and asked in a casual tone, with a gentle voice, and it sounded like he was in a good mood.

Wei Yanliang was stunned for a moment, apparently he did not expect Lu Junzhao to ask such a question, Wei Yanping's words flashed through his mind, he woke up suddenly, and looked at Lin Wan who was holding a teacup with a calm smile on his face , his heart sank, and he smiled at Lu Junzhao: "It's not good, but it won't ruin the family business of our ancestors."

"I heard that the Wei family has also done some business in Pingliang Mansion in recent years?" Lu Junzhao asked in a calm voice.

Wei Yanliang's heart twitched, but he smiled calmly: "It's all small businesses. The money went in, but the business didn't do much. The business in the north is no better than that in the south. It has really suffered a bit in the past two years. Let the general It was a joke with Mrs."

"What kind of business have you been in charge of over the past few years? No one in the north?" Lu Junzhao then asked.

Wei Yanliang was surprised in his heart, but he answered with a thoughtful smile: "It's mainly in the south, and they are all businesses like cloth village restaurants, and they also manage a few Zhuangzi. The business in the north just took over today, and it hasn't improved much yet. , I thought it might be useful to rely on Liancheng for my business."

Lu Junzhao turned his head and looked at Lin Wan, gently pinched Lin Wan's fingers, looked at Wei Yanliang and said in a deep voice, "My wife and I are leaving for Longchuan Mansion tomorrow, you can follow."

Wei Yanliang thumped in his heart, jumped a little hard, but still smiled gently on his face, stood up and thanked Lu Junzhao and Lin Wan, "Thank you, General and Madam, for your success. I heard from my elder brother that the General and Madam are going to Longchuan Mansion, I came here brazenly, thinking of going to Longchuan Mansion with the General and Madam, now it is exactly what I wish for."

Wei Yanliang sat for a while, said a few words, and left.

Lu Junzhao looked at Wei Yanliang's back and smiled softly at Lin Wan: "How about it, maybe the fourth son of the Wei family can use it?"

The smile in Lin Wan's eyes paused for a moment, then fell silent, frowned and pondered for a moment, then gradually loosened her brows as she turned her mind, leaned her head on Lu Junzhao and said with a low laugh: "It depends on father and master." Plan. If father and master want to use the Wei family, Wei Yanliang can use it, and it can be of great use; if father and master don't have that plan, then it's another matter."

The smile in Lu Junzhao's eyes widened, and he smiled softly against Lin Wan's forehead: "Well, Ah Wan, you are right. The Wei family can use it. But how to use it depends on how you arrange it."

"Well, I understand." Lin Wan smiled and nodded.The two cuddled together, stepped on the wet slate, and walked slowly back to the back yard.

Different from the wet and gloomy weather in Bei'an County, the capital is now sunny. The sun is scorching on the ground, and the whole capital is baked and steaming.

It was very quiet in the Marquis of Chong'an, the grandma Qian Shi was pregnant with Liujia, and at the moment the little girl was fanning her, resting on the bamboo couch covered with mattresses.

The eldest son Lin Chengrui entered the yard from the outside in a hot sweat, looked at Grandma Qian from a distance through the curtain, with a smile in his eyes, and was groomed by a few maids, and then entered the inner room. Carefully approaching Grandma Qian, she reached out to take the fan letter in the little girl's hand, put her index finger to her mouth and let out a soft hiss, the little girl hurriedly nodded and backed out.

Lin Chengrui fanned his fan lightly, looking at Grandma Qian's fat cheeks, but his mind slowly turned away.

When he goes out these days, he can always see many young masters and sons in the mansion, inviting him to drink and listen to music together.Although he has a gentle temper, he is not stupid.He could always vaguely guess what those people were doing.

The Prince's Mansion of Xining has a high position and authority, and if the sixth younger sister marries into the Lu family, someone must have the idea of ​​adoring the Marquis of An's Mansion.He was really tired from dealing with those people these days, he might as well study at home, hey!
