"That's good. You have food, accommodation, and entertainment. Your Lu family's hospitality is not bad. It would be even better if there were a few more beautiful maids to serve you."
Lu Zheng saw "Master Wan" with a satisfied look on his face, with greed flashing in his eyes, obviously yearning for the days of living in Lu's house to eat and drink, and even more contempt.
Now that the business has been settled, they have become partners. The Lu family really doesn't care about entertaining business partners with money. Just looking at the face of "Master Wan", Lu Zheng finds it annoying.
"Lu Xi, send Young Master Wan and his party to the guest house." Lu Zheng turned around with his sleeves turned, seeing nothing.
Pang Xiao took Qin Yining's hand, brought Huzi, Bingtang and Jiyun with him, and happily followed behind Lu Xi all the way to the guest house.
The Lu family mansion is not only a branch of the residence, but it is also a century-old mansion that has been renovated several times. The building of the guest house looks obviously updated, and it is supposed to be built for the convenience of hospitality.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao showed their admiration for the view, while secretly remembering the arrangement and orientation along the way.
Lu Xi couldn't stop looking at the two of them. Seeing that they were all surprised, he affirmed Lu Zheng's previous guess.
It seems that Wanjia, the Guangtong account, is really an upstart with no foundation, and this young master Wan is probably also a straw bag with few drops of ink in his belly. At the beginning, he thought that this person was on the boat to remind him on purpose, and to help the young master solve a problem by the way. Now he understands that he is overestimating this person.
The guest house is located in the northeast corner of the Lu Mansion and is connected to the outer courtyard. A corner door is opened on the back street to facilitate entry and exit. There are three main rooms in the whole courtyard, with two side rooms on each side. The reverse seat is turned into a small kitchen. This is also the consideration of the Lu family. Guests who have lived for a long time can go to the large kitchen to order food, or they can open a small stove by themselves.
Qin Yining surveyed the courtyard and leaned on Pang Xiao with a tired look.
Pang Xiao said, "Is the beauty tired?"
"Well. I can't eat or sleep well in prison these days. How can I not be tired."
Lu Xi smiled and lowered his head and said, "There were some misunderstandings earlier. The young master has prepared wine and food for the two of you, and I will send them to you later."
He turned around and introduced the two stout maids and two pretty girls who were in 2008 behind him.
"This is specially arranged by Young Master for Young Master Wan and Madam Ning, Madam Hua, Madam Zhang."
The two old ladies in dark green suits came forward to salute: "I have seen Young Master Wan, Madam Ning."
Lu Xi added: "This is Sulan and Sufang."
"I've seen the young master and the lady." The two maids, wearing light green narrow-sleeved jackets and dark green armor, saluted together.
Pang Xiao's eyes rolled around the two girls, then shook his head dissatisfiedly and said, "There is no water spirit in your house? Like Fuxue?"
Lu Xi clenched his fists for a moment, and the blue veins on his forehead jumped twice. He smiled and said, "It's rare for a lady like Ning to have such a face."
Pang Xiao waved his hand and said generously: "That's all, go ahead, you don't need to serve here."
Does anyone still want to come down and serve you? Lu Xi couldn't help slandering in his heart. Since the other party was a business partner, he could only forcibly hold back. The respectful way was, he saluted and retired.
Pang Xiao went into the house with his arms around Qin Yining's waist, and asked Bingtang to follow the two maids to fetch the food, and Ji Yun and the two maids went to prepare the bedroom, leaving only a tiger beside him.
When there was no one around, Pang Xiao and Hu Zi carefully checked the surroundings and made sure that no one was monitoring and eavesdropping, and then they relaxed.
Pang Xiao was finally able to sit with his back straight as usual, and said with a smile, "Hey, deliberately sticking your neck is more tiring than fighting."
Qin Yining giggled, "Aren't I tired of talking in a whimper?"
"Actually, I like the way you look."
Qin Yining couldn't help but glared at him, "I'm afraid it will become a habit. It's not dignified to go back, and I can't teach the children well."
"The same is true." Pang Xiao touched his chin and nodded.
Huzi watched the conversation between the two and happily turned to the children, and couldn't help laughing.
Pang Xiao glared at Hu Zi, and Hu Zi immediately retreated to the corner with a silent voice.
Qin Yining's face was a little hot, he coughed to clear his throat, and asked earnestly, "Are you going to tell the Lu family about your people and let them arrange?"
"That's what it means." Pang Xiao remembered Lu Zheng's appearance, and shook his head with a smile, "Although he can be regarded as a gentleman, he is very shallow in the end."
"It's you who acted too much."
Pang Xiao laughed and said proudly, "As soon as I saw him looking at me with contempt, I couldn't help but want to laugh. But this time the deal is really good, you don't need to spend any money, you can buy one and get one free. "
Qin Yining stretched his fingers to help him calculate, "You don't need to spend the capital now, the Lu family will arrange for someone to go to the Guangtong number in the future. Your people can be the imperial envoy again, and we can have a better grasp of the old capital. . As long as our contact with the Qiu family doesn't reveal anything, everything will be easier to say."
"Exactly. After this is done, let's step back and withdraw. Not only can we let the Lu family help me arrange people for free, but also let the Qiu family bleed.
Hu Zi smacked his tongue: "This time they are not miserable"
"If we don't make a move, we will be the ones who will be unlucky in the future." Pang Xiao supported Yi with one hand and said with a smile, "In the days to come, I have to trouble the lady to continue to accompany this young master to travel around the mountains and waters."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's an honor."
Acting as a complete set, in the next days in the Lu family, Pang Xiao played the role of a petite playboy to the fullest. On the one hand, he wanted to take advantage of the Lu family, and on the other hand, he took Qin Yining to visit the places of interest near Danzhou City.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao went out to have fun every day, and when they returned to Lu's house, they had good wine and good food to entertain.
Lu Zheng originally paid attention to and investigated Young Master Wan, but looking at his appearance, Lu Zheng didn't even bother to look at him. Occasionally, he heard Lu Xi talk about "Master Wan" who lived in the guest house with beautiful women all day long. Touring the mountains to enjoy the scenery, and then looking at his busy days, Lenovo Young Master Wan's disdainful face could not help but feel agitated.
"Young master, take a sip of hot tea and take a break." Lu Xi put the delicate white porcelain tea bowl by Lu Zheng's hand.
Lu Zheng nodded, took a sip of tea and said, "What else did the surnamed Wan go out to eat and drink?"
"I haven't seen him again. He seems to be busy trying to please that lady Ning these days, buying a lot of gold and silver jewelry, rouge gouache, and silk and satin. They couldn't put it down in the courtyard, so let him arrange someone. sent back to the ship."
"Yeah. How was Mrs. Ning's life with him? Are you bored?"
Lu Xi was not surprised. Lu Zheng was moved by Mrs. Ning, and he had already seen it.
"Miss Ning is still the same as always, young master, do you care about Lady Ning?"
Lu Zheng snorted and said bluntly: "That straw bag has tarnished the beauty. The beauty is blind."
Lu Xi agreed, "The one surnamed Wan was just lucky, and met a beauty first. If the young master likes it, he will naturally come here. Look at the appearance of young master Wan, but there is only a pair of skins, young master. Handsome and unrestrained, he is not inferior to Young Master Wan, and the background of the Lu family is here."
Lu Zheng felt a little melancholy, "But the last time I asked, Mrs. Ning bluntly refused."
Lu Xi shook his head with a smile.
In Lu Zheng's identity, all his women are chasing after him, and there is no need for Lu Zheng to speak. The maids in the house, as long as there is some beauty, which one doesn't want to be Lu Zheng's housekeeper
"Young master, you have always been too smooth emotionally." Maybe the young master has not really loved any woman yet.
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, as if he was caught in a memory. After a while, he said, "Yeah. Speaking of which, there is really no woman who needs to think about but can't get it."
The master and servant fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Lu Zheng came back to his senses, "Go to open the warehouse, I remember that someone gave me a set of emerald head and face with gold inlaid jade a few days ago, and the earrings and cloves inside are a hundred and eight. Pieces, you can even send a box to Mrs. Ning."
Lu Xi said in surprise: "But the former young grandma has seen that set?"
Lu Zhengdao: "She has a lot of emeralds, and she doesn't care about this set. Go, you can carefully see if Mrs. Ning is happy or not."
"Yes." Lu Xi thought about it for a while and suggested, "You might as well avoid that Young Master Wan when the young master is sending the jewelry this time. I can't say that she strictly refused you, Young Master, because of the presence of Young Master Wan and it was difficult to agree?"
"This makes sense." Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Forget it, don't ask you to pick it up. I'll let the young lady go. It's easier for women to talk to each other."
Lu Xi hesitantly persuaded: "Young mistress is afraid of not knowing?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows in disbelief: "Sooner or later, I will come in, and I won't know by then? Besides, since she is the first wife, shouldn't these matters be handled by her?"
Lu Xi thought about it, but it was the same, so he didn't say much.
Therefore, when Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were discussing where to go to play today, a message came from the front of the guest house.
After a while, Bingtang walked down the corridor and said, "Miss Ning, the eldest young lady asks to see you."
Qin Yining raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Is the eldest young lady here to find me?"
Bingtang said at the door: "Yes."
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao glanced at each other, then stood up: "I'll go see what she's going to do, maybe I can come up with something."
Pang Xiao pondered for a moment, but shook his head, "No, you still don't want to go. This eldest young lady never appeared in the first place, and it must have been ordered by Lu Zheng who came here suddenly. Lu Zheng didn't look down on me from the beginning, no If there is any relationship between noble ladies, she must have come to find you, after all, the Lu family is the only one here, so don't take risks."
"You're right. Then don't go."
Pang Xiao simply stopped Qin Yining's shoulder to go out, "Come on, let's go out first and discuss where to go to play today."
Bingtang, Jiyun, and Huzi immediately followed.
The group walked to the front of the courtyard, and saw a beautiful woman in a red sleeved jacket and a dark green horse-faced skirt standing not far away. The woman was born in the age of the letter, dignified and beautiful, with a bookish air between her eyebrows, and she was looking over curiously.
