Chapter 680 It will be troublesome in the future
Dumbfounded, Xue Jian said:
"Master Lu, I now know why you are in trouble. Because you have too much money! You have to have a degree in everything. If you retreated bravely a few years ago, you should hand over the salt road as soon as possible. Chao Ting, don’t you just have nothing to do? You dare not go anywhere with the money you earned with your head! Are you worth it?”

Lu Zhanhong stared blankly at Xuejian, and remained silent for a while.It took a long time before he said:
"In these years, only you, Prince Rui, have reminded me like this. Others have always reminded me how to guard against the court and how to win more business. I have lived for decades in vain. I might not be as clear as the prince!"

Speaking of this, thinking of what happened to me recently, I couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.Kowtow to Xue Jian again:

"Thank you, Prince, for reminding me!"

As he spoke, he groped around for a while, and then took out something from his bosom.Handed it to Xuejian and said:
"Prince, the life of the Lu family is in the hands of the prince! This is the token of the Lu family. With this token, you can go overseas to get salt, but now the pirates are in trouble."

Fu Jinghao stepped forward to take the box, opened it lightly, and found that it was just a pattern made of a piece of sandalwood. It looked like only half of it, and it seemed that it had to be matched with the other half before delivery.

Xue Jian also took the thing and looked at it. It was all polished and polished, and it seemed that it had been used for a long time.

The head of the Lu family also took out an account book from the burden he carried on his back and said:

"The Lu family is willing to accept the prince's test. This is the account book of the general ledger. All of the Lu family's wealth is here. I don't ask for two tenths of anything. I only ask the emperor to spare our family's life. The family is willing to move to Qingyang to be the prince's entourage!"

Xue Jian looked at Patriarch Lu who was expressing his opinion, and looked at his eagerness. Although he didn't understand what happened to him recently, he could tell.He was really in a hurry.

Xue Jian thought about it, and it's not impossible to do this kind of thing, so she took the Lu family in.It is a great thing for the court.Therefore, Xuejian agreed to Lu's family leader and said:
"In this way, the Patriarch will rest for one night. Tomorrow, we will go to Beijing immediately!"

Fu Jinghao looked at Xue Jian worriedly.Xue Jian shook her head.

Fu Jinghao was worried that Second Master Lu had found out about the salt production here, so he wrote to Patriarch Lu. Patriarch Lu might also know that the court was going to do something, so he came to look for Xue'er.

This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, if the court only wants money and does not spare the Lu family, then Xuejian's promise is another guarantee, and it will be against the emperor at that time, which is not very good for Xuejian thing.

However, Xue Jian felt that solving the problem without bloodshed was the best solution, not to mention saving a life was better than building a seven-level pagoda.This is to save the lives of the next family.

Seeing such a response from Xue Xue, Patriarch Lu threw himself down and cried:

"Thank you, prince! From now on, the Lu family will be dominated by the prince!"

Xuejian asked Second Young Master Lu to help Patriarch Lu up, and asked him to take him down to rest and wash.Then it's almost time to eat.Come out and eat together.

Second Young Master Lu helped him down.Fu Jinghao frowned and looked at Xuejian and said:
"Xue'er, if you agree to this matter, it will be troublesome in the future."

Xue Jian said with a smile:

"Brother Jing Hao, don't worry, think about it, who is more suitable for the salt business than the Lu family! Besides, there are two salt merchants, one is guaranteed, and the other is beaten. That's the most normal. This is what he should do as an emperor. Don't let people only see his violence. This has to be seen through by the Lu family leader. If he can't see through, the family may be beaten. Tomorrow You don't want to leave with me. You go to Yantian and take a look. I'm really not worried about others. It's Chinese New Year. Be careful about safety."

Fu Jinghao thought about it:

"Ask Master to go back with you. I'll go and see."

Xue Jian nodded and said:

"It's just that I can't celebrate the New Year at home this year. It looks like I'm going to the capital to celebrate the New Year. I'll ask Senior Brother Shang to go with me. Sister Shan will stay here."

When it was time for dinner, Xuejian talked about the arrangement. I heard that Xuejian was in a hurry to go to Beijing, but she didn't say what it was. The family members were also a little anxious. The last time Xuejian went to Beijing, I was scared. Everyone.Now the old Mr. Shen and others have all come to pick him up. He was thinking about celebrating the New Year here, but he didn't expect Xuejian to leave again.

Old man Mo said that he would follow.Murong Xing also followed.In this way, everyone can rest assured.

Early the next morning, it started to snow a little.Seeing that Xue Jian was dressed like a pig by Cao'er and Liang Chengfang, Fu Jinghao was afraid that she would be cold.Because I have to rush to Beijing this time, I have to ride a horse.Fu Jinghao also gave Xuejian a sheepskin hot water bottle to carry on the vest, saying that this way the vest would not be cold.

Xue Jian was a little speechless, but accepted everyone's kindness. Second Young Master Lu was not very good at riding a horse, so he stayed.Master Lu followed on horseback.Shi Chun insisted on replacing Nanny Tang this time, saying that he was protecting his master and going back to Beijing.A group of people set off.

On the road, I only slept and stayed in the hotel at night, and walked fast during the day. On the fourth day, I finally arrived in the capital.And this day is the time of Chinese New Year.It was noon when Xue saw it, and because he was afraid that some people would recognize the Lu family first, the Lu family wore a weft hat all the way.

When we arrived at the capital, the person who was on duty at the gate of the city today happened to be the third uncle of the Fu family. Seeing that Xue Jian had returned, but not seeing Fu Jinghao, he stepped forward worriedly and said:

"The lower official has seen the little prince."

Xuejian doesn't recognize Uncle Fu, but Uncle Fu does.Because Xuejian has passed by here many times.

Xuejian raised her hand and said:
"Everyone has worked hard, everyone who celebrates Chinese New Year is on duty."

"No hard work, little prince, let's go to the city, it's noon."

Xue Jian also smiled and said:

"Okay. Thank you, everyone!"

Xue Jian and others went directly to the city, and the news of the little prince's return to Beijing spread throughout the capital in a short while.

Although it is Chinese New Year now, it is not the right time for the little prince to come back. The Chinese New Year is just around the corner. If there is no urgent matter, no one would believe that she will come to Beijing at this time!So, the heads of the various families immediately asked people to pay attention.Let's see what the little prince is going to do this time!
Xue Jiancai didn't care so much, and went straight back to the Prince's Mansion. Old Mo, who couldn't stand those etiquettes, went back to the mansion a step earlier.So when Xuejian returned home, the manager of Cheng came to the door to greet her.

Seeing the horse, Xue immediately ordered to go down and said:

"Go and invite Prince Lian here. Also, go and invite Mr. Liang here too."

Manager Cheng was stunned and said:
"My lord, these two are in the palace today, celebrating the new year with the emperor. It is said that this year the queen will be happy, and there will be a big banquet in the palace. All the officials and family members above the third rank in Beijing will be invited to the palace to celebrate the new year. The palace banquet is held It's the beginning of Shen Shi, but Lian Hou and Liang Daren were invited into the palace by the emperor in the morning."
