Lin Jiabiyu

Xu Chenglin squeezed his beard with a smile and pondered for a while, then nodded to Lin Wan and Lu Junzhao and said: "The old man is an old man, and the second master and the second young lady think highly of him, so the old man will be ashamed to be an old master once more!"

"Mr. Xu, you don't have to be too modest." Lu Junzhao replied flatly, "In the future, I will rely on Mr. Xu to take care of me in Pingliang Mansion."

Xu Chenglin hurriedly said, "I dare not take it".

The lines on Lu Junzhao's face softened a little. Seeing Xu Chenglin sit down, he said to Xu Kaiyan in a deep voice, "It's time for the port of Liancheng to be built."

Xu Kaiyan hurriedly stood up when he heard the words, and while bowing and bowing, he responded, "Don't worry, the second master, even the other side of the city is ready, and the workers have been found." After a pause, he glanced at Lin Wan hesitantly. "For the money to build the port, there was a shopkeeper surnamed Mi. He was in the seagoing ship business before, and he came to the lower official and said he was willing to find someone to contribute."

Lu Junzhao remained calm, and only looked back at Lin Wan with a little surprise.With sly eyes, Lin Wan pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

"That's okay. The merchants will benefit the most from the construction of this port, and it will also benefit the people. If it is not enough, you can transfer it from the palace's internal affairs treasury. You can go directly to He Zhanpeng."

Xu Kaiyan nodded in agreement.

As the night darkened and the lights were dancing in the yard, Lu Junzhao ordered Xu Kaiyan to let the third son of the Xu family disperse. He took Lin Wan out of the main hall and was guided by his wife to the back yard.

Xu Chenglin looked at the two people's backs hidden in the night, looked at the bright moon in the sky thoughtfully, and smiled at Xu Luwen: "This little girl from the Lin family is different from the princess and concubine of the Lu family. No wonder the king of Xining went to Please order."

"Hey, our second master's daughter-in-law has changed a lot." Xu Luwen raised his eyebrows with bright eyes, "Once this city-linked port is built, the Lu family is determined to win Pingliang Mansion."

Lin Wan and Lu Junzhao went back to the yard, and the mother-in-law fetched water into the house, and after the two washed up, they sent the mother-in-law out.The house is very spacious, with several basins of cool well water inside, and the night wind from outside blows in through the windows.The whole room has a pleasant cool air.

Lin Wan stretched her waist, leaned half on the bed, pinched Lu Junzhao's slightly callused palm playfully with her fingers, her eyes were full of smiles, and she was talking to Lu Junzhao in a low voice.

"The end of the Xu family is considered safe for the time being, and Mr. Xu can really afford to let it go. The academies in Yong'an City and Weiyuan City. I have to find someone to watch and build them later. By the way, since I met Xu Kaiyan, Liancheng Shall we still go?"

"Do you want to go and see?" Lu Junzhao moved towards Lin Wan, stretched out his arms to embrace Lin Wan, with a smile in his eyes, and lowered his head to gently rub the tip of Lin Wan's nose.The voice is low and pleasant.

"I don't have to go, I have to meet shopkeepers Mi and Li. You forgot. I'm still doing business in Liancheng!" Lin Wan put her arms around Lu Junzhao's waist, and leaned against Lu Junzhao's chest, Finding a comfortable position to lie down, he took a breath of satisfaction.

Looking at Lin Wan's rosy cheeks and slightly pursed mouth, Lu Junzhao turned over softly in his heart, found Lin Wan's lips and kissed them softly.With a vague voice, he said with a low smile, "Ah Wan, I'll take you to Liancheng."

Lin Wan was held in Lu Junzhao's arms.The petite body looked even weaker under Lu Junzhao's broad chest. With his eyes closed, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tip of his tongue protruded back to kiss Lu Junzhao.

Lu Junzhao chuckled, and kissed back tenderly and eagerly.

After a while, Lu Junzhao let go of Lin Wan out of breath. After he calmed down the heat in his body, he hugged Lin Wan with one hand and gently smoothed Lin Wan's loose hair with the other hand, and kissed Lin Wan with his head down. She said softly on her forehead, "Go to sleep."

Early the next morning, there were a few more carriages in front of Xu's mansion, and several stewards pushed each other to the door and knocked on it.Old Su Bo opened the door tremblingly, startled by the crowd at the door, and asked with his cloudy eyes wide: "Who are you?"

"Old man, please inform me that I was ordered by the master to give gifts to the distinguished guests." A steward with sharp eyes and hands quickly pulled away the frowning and hesitant man standing in front of him, and bowed his hands politely to old Suber.

As soon as the steward opened his mouth, the rest of the people also talked about their intentions, and they all came to give gifts.

Old Su Bo opened his mouth wide, then frowned again, tilted his head, scanned the few people standing at the door with his cloudy eyes, and nodded hesitantly in response.

Several stewards were relieved when they saw this, but the other half's heart was still in suspense.

Xu Chenglin wasn't surprised when he heard old Su Bo's report, but Xu Luwen hummed and smiled, and then turned to Lu Junzhao and Lin Wan's yard with his hands behind his back.

"There are a group of stewards giving presents outside. Do you want to see the general and madam?" Xu Luwen looked at Lu Junzhao with his broken fan on his waist.

Lin Wan looked at Xu Luwen amusedly, and then retracted her gaze indistinctly.If she remembers correctly, this is the dog-headed military adviser, the one who showed Lu Junzhao the story book and the messy picture book?

"Which ones?" Lu Junzhao glanced at Xu Luwen very calmly, ignoring the excitement in Xu Luwen's eyes.

"Well, this old man came here as soon as he got the news. I don't know which ones." Xu Luwen narrowed his eyes with a smile, and a smirk flashed across his face. "These people in Jin'an City run fast!"

Lu Junzhao looked at the complacency in Xu Luwen's eyes, and his voice became cold: "A group of stewards, do you want me to meet people in person?"

When Xu Luwen heard this, his neck shrank suddenly, and he laughed a few times, "The old man will go and have a look first, and report to the general later." He said and quickly backed away and flashed out of the Chuhuamen.

"This is the military adviser who gave you the story book and the messy picture book?" Seeing Xu Luwen leaving, Lin Wan raised his eyebrows and stepped forward to pinch Lu Junzhao, with a very light smile on his face, with a bit of itchy tenderness .

Lu Junzhao said "Yes" very calmly, embraced Lin Wan with a smile, kissed Lin Wan's forehead, and suggested in a low voice, "Let's go ahead and have a look too?"

Old Su Bo went out from the inner courtyard tremblingly, and invited several stewards into the mansion.The stewards looked at me and I looked at you, and hurriedly ordered the servants to carry the big and small boxes in one after another.

Xu Luwen and Xu Chenglin laughed so hard that they couldn't see their eyes, politely let the stewards drink a cup of tea, and then told old Su Bo to lead the boys down to rest for a while.

Seeing that Xu Chenglin and Xu Luwen hadn't spoken, one of the stewards lowered his head and glanced at the people around him, gathered himself together, and then stepped forward and respectfully replied: "I have met the two masters. The younger one's surname is Shi, and he is serving the patriarch." If you come here to give gifts to distinguished guests, please ask the two masters to pass it on for you."

"The Shi Family in Ding'an City?" Xu Chenglin asked with great interest.

"My master has eyes." The steward nodded hurriedly, and winked at the servants, and the servants carried a box in swiftly.

"Let's put it all down. I'll keep this thing for the time being. As for whether or not to accept the distinguished guests, that's not my old man's business." Xu Chenglin's voice was dry and his tone was extremely calm. "Have someone draw up a list, see what's there, and return it later."

"Excuse me, you are getting old!" The manager hurriedly bowed his waist and thanked respectfully. "You don't need to draw up the list. The little one came before the owner ordered me to deal with the contents of this box."

Xu Chenglin smiled uncertainly.

Seeing this, several other stewards also stepped forward to report their names, and asked someone to carry the box into the house.

Not long after, the living room, where people were coming and going just now, became silent, only boxes of all sizes were placed in the room in an orderly manner.

Xu Luwen squatted down, looked carefully at each of the boxes, his eyes gradually narrowed, and it took a long time to straighten his waist, while beating his waist with his hands, he sneered at Xu Chenglin: "Today, everyone in Jin'an City will give you a gift box." It's all set! Even the families of Ding'an City and Yong'an City came to join in the fun. It's just the people sent here, hmph!"

"Today is the first wave, just wait, there will be people coming tomorrow. Change to another boy to guard the gate. Old Su Bo is getting old and tired from walking back and forth." Xu Chenglin didn't even look at the boxes in the room, his expression was Calmly and indifferently, he walked to the yard with his hands behind his back.

Xu Luwen curled his lips, glanced at the first big box on the ground, and the sarcasm flashed across his eyes.The master can tell, how many of the stewards also want to see the face of the master?I really think that person has no temper!

Xu Luwen snorted twice, pulled out the fan attached to his waist and shook it twice, then shook his head and hummed a song, and went back to the back yard to talk to Lu Junzhao.

"All the aristocratic families in Jin'an City sent people to send gifts, saying that they asked the eldest brother to pass them on to the nobles. The Shi family in Ding'an City, the Lu family and the Zhu family in Yong'an City also sent people to send things over."

Lu Junzhao hummed dispensably.

After Xu Luwen finished replying, he shook his head and left the yard.

Lin Wan looked curiously at Xu Luwen's idle back, raised his brows slightly, and pulled Lu Junzhao with a smile, "You are really interesting as a military advisor—have all the major families in Jin'an City arrived?"

Lu Junzhao understood, hummed, and lightly held Lin Wan's hand and explained in a low voice, "It's okay, as long as you have this attitude. Master said, you can't force too much in everything, and it will overflow when it is full."

Lin Wan let out a burst of laughter, nodded and said with a smile: "That's the reason. Then we have to stay in Jin'an City for a few days? Let shopkeeper Li come over, and we won't go to Liancheng. Longchuan Mansion There is no one, so you have to go there earlier. You still have to go to the army!"

Lu Junzhao smiled and nodded. "Ah Wan, I'll listen to you, as long as you say yes."

Early the next morning, there was another commotion in front of the gate of the Xu Mansion, but the people who came back this time were somewhat uneven.There were the big stewards of the house, the young masters who were studying at home, or the children who were very famous outside, and even the masters who were in charge of the family—Master Cao and Master Kong Er came in person.Fortunately, everyone seems to have a tacit understanding this time, and they are not crowded together, and only open the door one after another from morning to noon.
