Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Min and Lu Qing talked very well, and from the other party's words, Li Min almost figured out the other party's details.  In essence, Lu Qing and his gang are pirates, but they occasionally appear as maritime merchants. For example, this time, they shipped a batch of silk from Guangzhou in the south. It can be said that business is just their sideline.  This is exactly the opposite of ordinary maritime merchants. Today's maritime merchants are mainly engaged in business. Occasionally, they will appear as pirates when they encounter a weak party.  It can also be seen from this point that the current sea trade is still in a very chaotic period.

    When the sun turned west, Li Min hosted a dinner for Lu Qing and his group. As they ate and drank, the relationship naturally got closer. It was not until dark that Li Min let them go.  .

    And just as Lu Qing and others were leaving, a person also came out from the side door of Prince Qi's Mansion. As soon as this person came out, the vendors setting up stalls in front of the door immediately said hello: "Hey! Hello, Mr. Lu!"

    The servants in the palace usually come in and out through this side door, and everyone in Dengzhou knows that Prince Qi's mansion is very kind to the servants, they can get a lot of wages every month, and they are generous, so they attract so many vendors.  A stall was set up in front of the palace.

    "Well, good, everyone is good!" The man known as Mr. Lu also nodded to the vendors, obviously he was very familiar with everyone.  Mr. Lu looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was short and thin. The blue robe he was wearing was empty, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

    "Mr. Lu, come and take a look. This hairpin is a new style just sent from Chang'an. How about you buy one for Aunt Tiger?" A small vendor selling women's accessories greeted enthusiastically.

    When Mr. Lu heard this, he walked up to take a look with a smile, and found that the style was indeed novel and unique, so he generously paid for it and sold it. When he saw Mr. Lu paying, other vendors also greeted him, and Mr. Lu took action.  Be generous, as long as you feel comfortable.  He would buy it, and in a short while, he bought a large bag of things. It didn't matter if the money he brought with him was spent. Anyway, everyone here knew him and believed in his character, so they were all willing to give him credit.

    After buying things, Mr. Lu still had something to do, so he handed the things he bought to a vendor.  Let him keep it for a while and pick it up when he comes back later.  Then, as usual, I went out for a walk without any money.  These vendors are all aware of Mr. Lu's habit, so they don't think it's any different.

    After watching the other party disappear into the night, an aunt-level vendor shook her head with regret and said: "What a pity. Mr. Lu, such a good man, actually married a woman like Aunt Tiger? Alas~"

    "Hahaha~, sister-in-law of the Liu family, you have been a widow for many years, have you fallen in love with Mr. Lu?" Hearing the sigh of Widow Liu, a young merchant next to him laughed and said, although this sister-in-law of the Liu family is not young.  But her length was neat, so the male vendors around her liked to make fun of her.

    "You brat, it's none of your business whether I'm always in love with you or not. Do you want to take advantage of me with your sly looks? I'm telling you, don't have that toad-like desire to eat swan meat" Widow Liu is not a good person either.  Provoked.  The widow had a lot of troubles in front of her. She was able to work hard to bring up her son because of her fierce temper and sharp mouth, so she scolded him to shame in a few words, and finally begged hard to let her give up.

    Mr. Lu is Aunt Tiger¡¯s husband.  When Li Min saw the couple, he also felt extremely awkward because Aunt Tiger was so powerful on Li Min's wedding day.  She competed on a par with Fang Yiai, a famous strongman in Chang'an, so Li Min was deeply impressed by her, and Mr. Lu was also remembered by Li Min because of his wife's glory.  However, the talent that Mr. Lu showed later made everyone admire him with admiration.

    Mr. Lu was literate, and he was an important person in the Xiao family's dowry, so he was assigned to work in the accounting room and manage the palace's internal finances. At first, the other accounting rooms were a little bit repulsive to him, but soon  I was shocked by his talent. No matter how complicated the accounts were, as long as they were in Mr. Lu's hands, he could sort them out clearly with just a few glances. Moreover, his handwriting was so good that even Li Min saw it.  Also highly praised.

    After discovering Mr. Lu¡¯s talent, Li Min wanted to arrange for him to serve as an official in Cangcao, but Mr. Lu was unwilling and said that he only wanted to stay with the princess with his wife. Li Min couldn¡¯t force him, so he had no choice but to give up.

    Dengzhou City originally had a night ban like Chang'an. Li Min was very dissatisfied with Chang'an's night ban from the beginning. After all, as a modern person, nightlife is a very important part.  It's a pity that he didn't have the final say at the time, and there were many reasons for the night ban in Chang'an that were beyond his control, so he could only endure it silently. But it was different after coming to Dengzhou. He had the final say here, so he came here.  In less than three days, the night ban was lifted. Of course, he also did not forget to increase the number of security personnel.

      After Mr. Lu left the palace, he walked along his usual route at first, looking at the lively streets around him. He smiled and said hello to familiar people from time to time. However, when he walked to a small alley, he took advantage of the people around him.  The young master turned around and entered the alley, then knocked on a corner door in the alley. The people inside opened the door a crack and took a look. They immediately welcomed Mr. Lu in, and were led to the study room in the house.  There were already three people waiting for him inside.

    "Brother, you're finally here!" When the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar saw Mr. Lu, he immediately came up to him with a happy face. The strong man and bald man behind him also showed a smile.  These three people were Lu Qing's group who had just left Li Min's place.

    "Haha, second brother, I haven't seen you for many years, but you seem to have changed little." Mr. Lu patted Lu Qing's shoulder and smiled. His real name was Lu Hong, and he and Lu Qing were direct brothers.

    "Brother-in-law! Hehe~" The strong man behind called Lu Hong in a flattering manner, and then started to giggle. He didn't know what to say?  This strong man is Aunt Hu's biological brother, named Hu Li. Like his sister, he is also an invincible figure.  As for the bald man, he stepped forward and saluted: "I see you, Your Excellency!"

    Hearing the title of Bald Head, Lu Hong waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Zhou Long, we have reached this point, where are the adults? You can just call me Mr. Lu from now on."

    "Yes, Mr. Lu!" Bald Zhou Long bowed and said, then stood up and stopped talking. He was obviously a very taciturn person.

    "Brother, we have been separated for several years, and today we finally meet again. I have already met my sister-in-law today, but are the madam and young lady okay?" Lu Qing watched the eldest brother say hello to the two brothers, and then pressed  He asked impatiently, while Hu Li and Zhou Long also looked concerned.

    "Well, the madam is doing well in Chang'an. As for the young lady, she is now the Princess of Qi. With His Highness the Prince of Qi's status and talents, he and the young lady are a perfect match." Lu Qing nodded and said. At first, he had some doubts about the decision of the madam and Song Guogong.  A bit repulsive, but since entering Prince Qi's Mansion, whether it was listening to other people's words or his own personal experience, his impression of Li Min has greatly changed. As for the thorn in his heart, he also unconsciously felt it.  Disappeared.

    Hearing Lu Hong mention the words "Princess Qi", Hu Li became furious. Thinking of the fact that the lord's great revenge has not been avenged, but the young lady has married the grandson of his enemy, this made him even more furious. He snorted coldly:  "What nonsense, Prince Qi? Madam must have been forced by Xiao Yu, otherwise she would never be betrothed to their Li family. After all, my lord back then"

    "Evil tiger, don't be arrogant!" Lu Qing shouted, interrupting Hu Li's words.  "Evil Tiger" is the nickname of Huli. If people in the southern border areas hear this name, it will definitely make them tremble with fear.

    Lu Hong's face also darkened, and he glared at Evil Hu, his brother-in-law, and said, "The Duke is a great benefactor to his wife and young lady. If you dare to be disrespectful to him again, Evil Tiger, be careful, I will ask your sister to deal with you!"  "As soon as Aunt Hu was mentioned, Evil Tiger immediately calmed down. What he was most afraid of was his sister, so he retreated and stood with Zhou Long, not daring to say anything again.

    "Brother, Evil Hu is a straight-tempered person. Don't blame him. But I don't understand why Madam betrothed the young lady to King Qi?" Lu Qing first excused Evil Hu a few words, and then asked, he also  I can't understand this problem. After all, they have a blood feud with the Li family, and it's not that easy to resolve it.

    "Hey, second brother, how do you think about the Tang Dynasty?" Lu Hong sighed, turned to the north and asked Lu Qing.

    "This" After hearing his brother's question, Lu Qing's face became very ugly, and finally he said very depressedly, "Brother Qi, now the Tang Dynasty is rich and powerful, and it has become a prosperous age!"

    "Well, it's good if you can see the situation clearly." Lu Hong turned his back to everyone, his face looked uncertain under the candlelight, "Now that the Tang Dynasty is entrenched, it is difficult to shake it.  When my lord died last year, there was no bloodline left except for the young lady, so restoring the country has become an empty talk."

    When he got here, Lu Hong paused, and after a while he continued: "There are three main reasons why Madam agreed to marry the young lady to King Qi. One is that Madam is extremely intelligent and has already conquered the world.  We have clearly seen the general situation, and she is a weak woman. If she persists in hatred, she will not only harm herself, but even the young lady will be implicated. Therefore, with great wisdom and courage, we put down the hatred between us and the Li family. Secondly,  It¡¯s also for us subordinates. After all, the world has already belonged to the Li family. Madam doesn¡¯t want us to resist in vain anymore, and she doesn¡¯t want us to be buried. So she wants to use the marriage between young lady and King Qi to recommend us.  To the King of Qi."

    "In addition, the last and most critical reason is."At this point, Lu Hong also showed a loving smile on his face.
