Lu's relatives

Chapter 202 Why bother to speak out if you want a thousand gold gifts
"What the hell are you up to, kid?" Lu Bu would never believe that Qin Xu would have such a so-called windfall, and wanted to pretend that this kid even managed to get his own salary and forgot to claim it, crying in front of him, He didn't even withdraw the profit that the Mi family gave him from the sea salt production method, which made Hao Meng greedy for a long time.Besides, the whole Qingzhou belongs to him, Lu Bu, so what kind of food and salary does Qin Xu need to send?
"Master Mingjian! It is true that Xu has been lucky recently, and some windfalls have passed by. The two wives took care of Xu when Xu Shenke was there. Xu is very grateful. Besides, Ling'er, cough cough, Xu should also be filial. Isn't it?" Qin Xu's mouth curled slightly, but he was not caught by Lu Bu's flaming eyes at all, and said to Yan Shi and Diao Chan with a shy face.

"It's good that Zhongming has this kind of heart, so why spend money? Your salary is not much, and you still have your elder brother and family to take care of..." Yan is a typical virtuous wife and mother, who loves her house as much as her own, and treats Qin Xu, her own son-in-law Naturally, the more you look at it, the more pleasing it is to the eye, and the words are mostly for Qin Xu's sake.

"Madam, don't listen to the boy's sweet talk! This 'human trafficker' Master Qin's name is already stinking on the street, but you and other girls think he is a good person!" Seeing Qin Xu talking more and more vigorously, Lu Bu's motherhood has already become Inspired by this kid, it was flooding, interrupted what Yan said, and asked Qin Xu with some malicious intentions: "Tell me, what kind of windfall is it, don't be your old father-in-law, brother-in-law Is it the private money from someone like my brother-in-law?"

"This..." This is indeed a flaw, no matter how enlightened the old mother-in-law is, she would not want her son-in-law to go home one by one.And Lu Bu obviously did it on purpose. After saying this, he really looked at Yan's Diaochan and even Cao's with a little embarrassment, and looked at Qin Xu with a bit of inexplicable color in his eyes.

Want bad food!Qin Xu secretly thought.Knowing that Lu Bu, who had been misunderstood by the world, also had a lot of experience in this machine change, but he was able to hit the muzzle of the gun with all his strength. Isn't this just an old birthday star hanging himself.

"My lord misunderstood Xu! Didn't my lord feel the same about the situation at that time?" That's all, that's all, don't blame us, the son-in-law, for being unkind as an old man!If you want to die together, Ling'er doesn't care much about it.Qin Xu made up his mind and said pointedly.

"Hmm..." Lu Bu really didn't expect that Qin Xu would actually talk back in order to avoid Yan's scrutiny, and burn the flames of war on himself. He couldn't think of any words for a while, and looked at him with a guilty conscience. Obviously focusing on herself and Cao Shi, who was still a little girl with her head down and her neck was so red, she almost choked on the drink, glaring at Qin Xu who was almost on Lu Lingqi's body, and said, "You Li Zi, what is the matter here, eat what you want, who is stopping you? Can such a delicious meal not stop your mouth?"

"My lord, Xu and the young lady are in love with each other, but the official position is small, and the pockets are shy..." Seeing Yan Shi and Diao Chan looking at Lu Bu's unfriendly appearance, Qin Xu dared not make matters worse, lest Lu Bu secretly hurt himself. As a small trick, seeing that Lu Bu's real anger was about to be aroused, Qin Xu changed the subject, stood up and bowed suddenly, but also looked at Lu Lingqi, who seemed to have been used to this kind of scene for a long time, and looked at him with a smile. Pulling down the water, he said: "Fortunately, God's will is in Qingzhou. Recently, Xu was lucky enough to get the news that Kan Xuan looted Pengcheng and the two counties of Donghai. Marry Linger to me!"

"What?..." As soon as Qin Xu said this, let alone Lu Bu who was shocked, he swallowed a mouthful of wine and sprayed it out, almost choking, but even the three wives of the Lu family looked surprised Looking at Qin Xu, who was like a five-body prostration, Lu Lingqi shyly ran away from Qin Xu after hearing Qin Xu's words, hid in Yan's arms and covered her face, not daring to look up, just occasionally glanced at her face through her fingers. Sincerely, Qin Xu.

"Zhongming, since you really got some windfall money, just keep it for yourself. The service between you and Ling'er has already been decided to be made public. Your parents are not here, so I will treat you as my own. Come on, my sister Hongchang and I will take care of you and Linger sooner or later, why should you stick to the old etiquette and add more expenses!" It's great to have such an enlightened mother-in-law!With Yan's current appearance, there is no half of the complaint she just made towards Qin Xu. As Lu Bu's official wife, how could she not know that sometimes things like Lu Bu and Qin Xu's things about Qingzhou can't help themselves, but it's just an opportunity It was just a small talk to wake up the Weng and his son-in-law, but Qin Xu was unexpectedly agitated like this.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Bu saw that Yan's family had just been brought up in a few words by Qin Xu, and that there was indeed news of Kan Xuan's robbed goods, no matter how smart he was, he felt something was wrong. He hurriedly stopped what Yan was about to say, and said, "How much food, grass and military resources did Kanxuan get when he robbed the two counties that day?"

"Fengxian!" Yan's face turned cold without waiting for Qin Xu's answer, and snorted coldly at Lu Wenhou, who was feared by everyone in the world: "You are already the master of Qingzhou, why do you still care about these things with the younger generation? ? If it gets out, how can it be decent for a Yue Weng to plot his son-in-law’s wealth with all his heart?”

"This..." Lu Bu, who has been the chief bookkeeper for several years and is quite sensitive to military supplies, did not expect his wife to shift her mind to her son-in-law so quickly. Even Diao Chan seemed to support Yan, so she couldn't help feeling A bit dumbfounded, but still obediently closed his mouth, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Qin Xu, the meaning of "threat" was self-evident.

"Your mother-in-law is a clear lesson! No wonder my lord is like this!" Qin Xu is used to crawling along the pole, and now he changed his address by taking advantage of the situation. He glanced at Yan's arms and looked at himself nervously because of Lu Bu's words just now. Lu Lingqi took a deep breath and said, "According to reliable sources, the grain and grass coins that Kanxuan plundered from Pengcheng and Donghai counties are only about double the total annual harvest of the three counties in Xuzhou."

"Pfft! How much?" Not to mention Lu Bu, even Yan Shi and Diao Chan, who hadn't paid much attention, sat up straight in surprise.How much Xuzhou's annual income is, the specific figure is probably unknown to outsiders except for the old Tao family in Xuzhou, but it is conceivable that Xuzhou has always been less affected by wars and has been known as a land of prosperity since Tao Qian took over After Xuzhou, with great efforts to govern, it was even said that the grain, grass, and coins it obtained in a year could be as close as Luoyang, which was never burned by Dong Zhuo. It can be said to be a conservative estimate.Then what Qin Xu just said indifferently about doubling Xuzhou's total annual income, can it be understood that it is at least the sum of Qingzhou's ten-year income?

This Xuzhou is really rich!

This Kan Xuan can really take care of life!
This Qin Xu really dared to speak!

"My lord? Ma'am?" Seeing that Lu Bu and Yan's behavior were the same as his own after hearing Jia Xu's words, even Diao Chan, who was used to seeing the world, looked surprised. Only Cao, who lowered his head, was fine. I don't know if this shy little Mrs. Lu can listen to her.

"Qin Xu, do you know what a huge amount of military funds this is? It's almost ten years' worth of Qingzhou's income! If it is acquired by others, it will be more than enough to recruit troops and buy horses to rule the roost. Why are you?" Although Lu Bu has always treated Qin Xu is full of trust, but he is also very surprised that Qin Xu seems to be indifferent to such a lot of wealth. It is said that those who are not moved by gold and silver must have great desires, but they are so sullen. asked.

"First, Xu is not capable of taking it back! Second, even if Xu takes it back, there is nowhere to put it! Third, even if he takes it back, there is no place to spend it!" Qin Xu made a sad face, which was quite unexpected. Lv Bu, who thought that Qin Xu would take the opportunity to say something to express his loyalty, turned out to be saying something that seemed to make sense, but was actually no different from nonsense.

"Could it be that you don't have anything to ask for?" Lu Bu looked at Qin Xu in astonishment and seemed to be quite aggrieved when he said these words, but Diao Chan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Mrs. Ren! Xu is not a saint, how can he ask for nothing?" Qin Xu stood up, looked at the top ace female spy who was known as one of the four beauties in history, and said pointedly: "Isn't Xu Already begged the lord to marry the eldest lady? It’s just a left hand and a right hand, which is almost the same as Xu’s. Besides, Xu has a business, and I hope the lord can agree.”

"It seems that Zang Ziyuan couldn't persuade a certain family, so he asked you?" Perhaps Qin Xu's blunt words reached Lu Bu's heart. After receiving Qin Xu's ambiguous answer, Diao Chan seemed to get a satisfactory answer. , did not continue to ask, Lu Bu's face gradually calmed down after the initial uncertainty, and he didn't mention this embarrassing thing any more. The importance of the plains and the North Sea, a little food and grass will not hurt Qingzhou's foundation, but this is clearly someone's calculation, and what they want is to make someone suffer a big loss no matter what. I really think that someone can't see it? He even fabricated it Two food officials are doing the job, I really can't swallow this breath!"

"This matter is indeed very strange." Qin Xu glanced at the four daughters who were not interested in discussing political affairs with Lu Bu, and said, "However, no matter whether someone really instigates this matter later, if we don't appease the officials and people of the two states in time If so, I am afraid that he will really fall into the scheme of the people behind it. Otherwise, let Zang Sima take full power to handle the matter, and then ask Feng Xiao to assist him. A wise plan, if there is no trouble, it will save Feng Xiao to hang around the Huajian Restaurant after he has been busy all day with his official duties, emptying himself out for nothing."

"Hmph, if you want to call into the camp, just say it. Don't you know what you're chatting with the guards at the gate of the mansion? Why are you talking about Feng Xiao?" Lu Bu saw through Qin Xu's plan at a glance, and turned his face away Go, drink the last sip of corn soup, get up and say without looking back.

"promise……"
