    After all, it is protected by hibiscus trees, so the impact on Tianji Gate is certainly not too great.

    Unlike the Shushan Sword Sect, there are no people left now, and only a few exercises have been handed down to the world.

    After Lu Xianxian returned to his human form, the three returned to the cave in the aircraft.

    Lu Sen sat in the gazebo, taking time to listen to the report of his family general Ah Huang.

    About the plan, about the form of civil war in the Northern Liao Dynasty, and about the general livelihood of the people in the Northern Song Dynasty.

    Thanks to the 'discovery' of the Spice Islands, the trade surplus in the Northern Song Dynasty is now even higher.

    Although things such as silk and porcelain were also very profitable before, people in the Northern Song Dynasty were fond of spices and condiments.

    These two items are luxury goods, and they are extremely expensive, offsetting a large part of the surplus. Now that the Northern Song Dynasty can go to the Spice Islands to transport the goods back, naturally there is no need to buy them from the Semu merchants, and even resell some.

    The trade surplus brings better living conditions in general, and Hangzhou, as the most important foreign trade port at this time, has benefited the most.

    After Lu Sen listened to the report, he said that he had worked hard, and when he was about to rest, his family general Ah Huang suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the local governor of Lu County and a group of businessmen would like to invite you to the Fugui Building in the city tomorrow. There is something important to do."  Xiangshang. This is an invitation."

    Linked between government and business?

    If it was in its dynasty, it was normal for officials to open eyes for businessmen.

    But in the Northern Song Dynasty, this rarely happened.

    Because the status of the literati in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties was too high, and businessmen as the tail of the four peoples, even though their actual status was to be ranked behind the scholars, in essence, the literati did not really think highly of them at all.

    At most, they are regarded as tool people who make money for themselves.

    ? After all, the phrase "Scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor share the world" is not just a joke, but a real action.

    Lu Huiqing himself is a talent from the orthodox imperial examination. He has a bright future, is young and holds a high position. It stands to reason that he would not mix with businessmen.

    But now such a thing has happened, so Lu Sen is very curious, what is it that makes Lu Huiqing, a master, willing to play with a group of merchants.

    ?The surface of the invitation card was a bright red background, and there were some golden borders on it. Lu Sen opened it and looked at it, and said, "Please go and tell Governor Lu, I will be there on time tomorrow."

    Ah Huang bent down and was about to leave.

    Lu Sen stopped him and said: "By the way, the fruit trees at home have produced a lot of fruit these days. Jinhua and the others picked some and stored them in the warehouse next to the fountain. You take people to carry five boxes and share them with everyone."  Bar."

    "Thank you, sir." Ah Huang happily clasped his fists.

    Being in charge of the Lu family is the luckiest thing for Ah Huang and the others.

    The head of the first family has a very high status, as long as you go out and say, "I am from the Lu family of Aishan", no one will give you some face.

    Moreover, the head of the family and the three eldest ladies are also extremely kind-hearted, and they will never be regarded as human beings. Not to mention that the monthly service rate is much higher than that of the outside, and they can get some fairy fruits or honey from time to time.

    Since Ah Huang and others became the generals of the Lu family until now, this group of them has never suffered from any disease.

    If you can eat some fruit pulp every few days, whose body is not in great shape.

    It's just that Ah Huang thought about it and said, "Mr. Lang, I have something I want to ask."

    Lu Sen didn't raise his head, and said casually, "Say it, don't be so polite."

    Ah Huang's face showed a bit of shock, and he said after holding back: "Brothers all feel that I am free from illness and pain, and it is too wasteful to eat these fruits. Can you let us sell the fruits and share the money with everyone?"

    "Of course." Lu Sen raised his head and said with a smile, "It's all given to you. How to eat it, eat it or throw it away, of course it's up to you to decide."

    Ah Huang was overjoyed immediately, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your permission, sir."

    Then he retreated.

    Nowadays, no one in the world knows that Master Lu is hiding in the forest outside Hangzhou City, but there is no one who can find him.

    When there were only secret passages before, it was already difficult to find the fairy trail. Now that there is Lu Jingjing who can use magic arrays at home, now it is the combination of the physical lost track and the magic lost track, and I want to find Lu Sen.  The Dongfu is almost impossible.

    However, the fairy fruit of the Lu family is one of the rarest hard currencies.

    ? Although it can't increase yang and longevity, it can cure all kinds of diseases. Who doesn't want to keep one or two spares on hand in case of emergencies.

    But Lu Sen didn't appear in front of ordinary people, and they couldn't get the fairy fruit if they wanted to.

    &nbs??It's from a sixth-rank civil official, and he has the real power of "right to know Hangzhou affairs", but when he meets Lu Sen, he still has to be called a subordinate official.

    Because up to this time, the imperial court has not stripped Lu Sen of his official status. He is still a fifth-rank civil servant and a direct bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion.

    Lu Sen clasped his fists in return, and said with a smile, "Please wait outside, Commander Lu, I'm extremely terrified."

    Lu Sen returned the gift first to Lu Huiqing, and then to the businessmen standing around him.

    These businessmen were behind Lu Huiqing, and when they saw this, they quickly bowed their heads in return.

    They are businessmen, and they are not qualified to speak out at this time.

    "Where is there, please!" Lu Huiqing was also wearing gray uniform at this time, and he pointed to the entrance: "Please come in, Daoist Lu."

    Walking from the wooden trestle bridge covered with red carpet to the deck of the painting boat, I heard lively voices coming from inside.

    The sound of applause, frolic, silk and bamboo, and the sound of debauchery.

    Lu Sen walked in the front. After entering, he looked around and found a lot of businessmen sitting inside.

    They whispered to each other in twos and threes, either they were watching an opera or listening to music, or they were hugging the young lady, salivating and laughing.

    This is the normal state in the painting boateven the high-end painting boat will have such a program.

    However, famous performers will not appear on this floor, they usually go upstairs.

    After Lu Sen came in, many people looked over subconsciously.

    Then the whole boat fell silent.

    In fact, they had known for a long time that they might be able to invite Master Lu this time, so when someone came from outside, they immediately looked over.

    And the moment they saw Lu Sen, they knew that the 'boy' in front of them was definitely real Lu.

    Even if they haven't met Lu Sen, they will come to this conclusion.

    ?Because Lu Sen's temperament is obviously different from that of ordinary people. Not to mention his handsome appearance, his body is full of dust, his face is smooth and flawless, and his skin is abnormally pure. This is definitely not the skin that normal people can grow.

    So clean!

    ? Without any greasy and scars, without the wind and dust of the world.

    The whole ship fell silent, and the women sitting on the businessman's lap subconsciously stood up, walked aside and stood with their heads bowed.

    And the businessmen began to organize their clothes subconsciously.

    Lu Huiqing took a few steps from the side and said, "Really Lu, please go up to the second floor from here."

    Lu Sen walked up the wooden ladder as he said.

    Lu Huiqing turned around and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Listen to the singing and dance."

    Then the minor tunes and the sound of silk and bamboo played again, but this time the sound was much softer, and the music changed from the previous ecstatic joy to the sound of clear mountains and flowing water.

    There is a big booth on the second floor, and there is a big table on the cloud platform, with only two seats, one on the left and one on the right.

    Lu Huiqing asked Lu Sen to sit down and sat opposite him.

    Looking to the right from this position, you will go downstairs to the hall, and everyone in the field can have a panoramic view.

    At this time, two beautiful women in white clothes came from the side.

    One stood next to Lu Sen, and the other stood next to Lu Huiqing.

    Lu Huiqing introduced: "Really Lu, the people next to you are Liu Qingqing, who is recognized as the number one beauty in Hangzhou City!"

    The woman bowed slightly, and said: "I dare not be number one. There are so many beautiful women in the world, and the little girl is just a drop in the ocean, so she won't make it to the top."

    When Liu Qingqing was speaking, she looked at Lu Sen's profile and her voice was trembling.

    She was excited with some fear.

    Lu Sen's reputation has spread all over the world, and no one knows that he has great powers.

    Even if the rumors are not credible, the solar ship hanging above the head is always credible.

    Now the golden light it emits, doesn't it come in through the window.

    Lu Sen turned his head to look at Liu Qingqing, and said, "I've seen Miss Liu."

    "I dare not take it."

    Liu Qingqing slightly bent her body and squatted down, her movements were gentle and charming.

    I have to say that this Liu Qingqing is very beautiful, after all, she was specially selected to serve Lu Sen.

    Her appearance is almost on the same level as Pang Meier Pang Meier before she married Lu Sen.

    At that time, Pang Meier did not eat much fruit and honey, nor did he practice martial arts, and he was still in the category of "human being".

    But now Pang Meier's temperament has changed greatly, and she is even more fairy-like.

    The appearance is almost the same at the top, but the two things that really make people more attractive are temperament and aura.

    Lu Sen looked away from Liu Qingqing, looked at the opposite side and asked, "Governor Lu, why did you call me over this time?"

    "If we want them to serve food and wine, shall we chat slowly?"

    Lu Sen has nothing to do: "The guest follows the host."

    Lu Huiqing clapped her hands, and a servant came to serve the food.

    Halfway through the dish, Lu Sen frowned, because he found that there was something wrong with the dish!??

    Lu Sen looked away from Liu Qingqing, looked at the opposite side and asked, "Governor Lu, why did you call me over this time?"

    "If we want them to serve food and wine, shall we chat slowly?"

    Lu Sen has nothing to do: "The guest follows the host."

    Lu Huiqing clapped her hands, and a servant came to serve the food.

    When the dishes were served halfway, Lu Sen frowned because he found that there was something wrong with the dishes.
