Chapter 347 Friends

Fengle Building is a three-storey building connected by five corridors and flying bridges. I heard that in the early years, you could see the inner courtyard of the palace on the west building. Later, the west building was sealed, and you can no longer climb high and look far. Even so, the tourists who come to the capital will not miss the first restaurant in the capital, even if they can't see it? It's also good to feel this kind of luxury uniqueness in the legend. Of course, this is in the case of rich silver money. Everyone knows that a glass of lamb wine in Fengle Building is also sold for 90 yuan, and it is only 15 yuan to eat enough in the foot shop outside.

It makes sense that Fenglelou is expensive. Silver wineware and fine porcelain can be seen everywhere, and bead curtains are embroidered everywhere. Even the prostitutes selling wine inside are much more beautiful than others, and the tea and watermen also seem to be dressed neatly. Looking around, the seats are full of silk gauze, decorated with calligraphy, paintings and flowers, which are lively but not vulgar.

After Lu Yan went to the capital, he passed the Fengle Building several times. The first time it was the treat of the bachelor of Rong, the second time it was a gathering in the same year after he won the Jinshi. Later, he invited his fellow villagers and colleagues to dinner, so he was used to the prosperity of this time. He was familiar with the The flying bridge went up to the three-story elegant room of the South Building.

Mei Baoqing was dressed in white, with a smile on his face. He stood in front of the window and held the Japanese fan bought from Lin Jinrong's shop with one hand. The setting sun shined red behind him. The fan's old piano lacquer handle, thick crow-blue paper, the cold snow in the distant mountains, and the silver mud moon, which is not eye-catching, but it makes him bring some different wealth and hustle and bustle in the light, but also brings some different light loneliness in the wealth.

This is the so-called posture from the bones. Lu Yan has always felt that he is outstanding. At this time, he had to praise twice in his heart, but he also knows that Mei Baoqing's leisure and lightness is just an appearance. In fact, he is cold and sharp inside, otherwise he would not have become such a person at this age. He didn't mean to despise the businessman, and he was as kind and courteous as usual: "Brother Ming's trial, are you free today?"

Mei Baoqing looked at Lu Wei up and down. He saw that he was wearing a beige gauze robe and blue cloth shoes, with only a piece of green jade at his waist, a refreshing ebony hairpin on his head, and his long body was as clean as bamboo as pine, and his tone was as gentle and courteous as when he first met Self-confidence is hard. So he smiled and waved his hand to Lu Yan: "Brother Minxing, it's rare for you to be the same before and after.

Please sit down.

Lu Yan smiled disapprovingly. He secretly said that even if he passed the exam, he was just an eight-grade official. If there are too many people in the world, what's worth having two faces before and after others? What's more, even if the official position is bigger, there is no need to make such a villain's face.

Mei Baoqing took a cup of tea in his hand and quietly looked at his look. Seeing this smile, he knew that he was thinking about everything and smiled and said, "You probably think that there is nothing to be proud of, and it is not worth changing your face."

Lu Yan was surprised. He has never met such a keen person.

Mei Bao said lightly, "But I've seen too many villains' faces, so I'm a little surprised to see you like this."

Lu Yan didn't know what he was trying to do, so he cautiously didn't open his mouth and listened quietly.

"You're probably guessing why I invited you here today? It's been a year since you came out. I probably don't know much about the situation in Pingzhou. Mei Baoqing elegantly raised the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Lu Yan, and gently pushed the hot tea in front of Lu Yan. "Try it, this is another way to drink. It is very relieving the summer heat in such a sultry weather. It is more relieving the summer heat and more conducive to health than eating the ice shaved mung beans and black plums.

Lu Yan thanked, took a sip of tea gently, and said cautiously, "The situation on the other side of Pingzhou has often been seen in family letters." It's not that he doesn't know anything. Although the inner house is earth-shaking, he knows that the main lifeblood of the family's business is still in the hands of Master Lu and Fan Bao. Lu Shao is also imprisoned in Taiming Mansion. Although Lu Jianzhong's power is not small, it is still within a reasonable range. As for the Lin and Wu families, the Lin family is still decadent and declining, and the Wu family is still low-key and pragmatic. And Lin Jinrong's business... Although she usually doesn't talk to him in detail, he also knows that Lin Shiquan has done a lot of business, and there is a growing trend.

Mei Baoqing silently said for a moment, "Last month, before I came, your old man was seriously ill. You probably didn't know."

Lu Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Mei Baoqing. He really didn't know that the letters that had been coming from his family were that Mr. Lu's condition was very stable. Of course, Mr. Lu, Lin Yuzhen, Tu and others refused to tell him this kind of thing. There must be a reason, that is, to tell him what can he do? Ask for leave to go back to serve the disease? Lin Jinrong has just been born, and he is only one month old. Lu Yan calmed down and said, "How is he now? How did Brother Ming learn about it?

Mei Baoqing said, "I guess it's calmed down again." He didn't answer Lu Yan. How did he know how to guess?

Lu Yan captured the word keenly. For a moment, he was worried about all kinds of things. He meditated for a long time and whispered, "Brother Ming, if you have something to say, it doesn't matter." If there is no profit, Lin Jinrong is right. Mei Baoqing will not invite him to such a place for no reason.

Mei Baoqing didn't say anything. He clapped his hands gently and ordered people to eat wine and vegetables: "The meal is ready, and he said while eating."

Lu Yan is very patient. Now that he has sat here and can't fly back to Pingzhou with his wings, he is not in a hurry and waits for Mei Baoqing's move at ease. Mei Baoqing seemed to test his patience. He talked about the customs and customs with him, and once he talked about poems and songs.

Lu Yan smiled and answered every word and question of him seriously. At the end of the meal, Mei Baoqing suddenly said, "Your cousin's name is Lu Shao, right? He once came to me. If I am willing to hand over the business I will cooperate with the Lu family in the future and recognize him, he will be willing to give me all the current supplies of the Lu family 20% lower than the market price. Do you think this business is cost-effective?

Lu Yan's heart thumped. No wonder Mei Baoqing guessed that Mr. Lu was seriously ill, and the power struggle had begun. Lu Shao and Lu Jianzhong are looking for a strong partner. They still remember the Mao Brown incident that winter. In that incident, the Mei family only recognized him, not Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao. As a result, most of the neutral people looked at him differently from now on and made him straighten his waist. Isn't Mei Baoqing's temptation to fight for more interests? Lu Shao is willing to please Mei Baoqing at a price 20% lower than the market price. He either offered the same conditions here, or to attract Mei Baoqing at a lower price. But is it worth it? If it is 20% lower, what else can the Lu family earn? No less than chronic suicide. What he got was just an empty shell, and he had to lose his reputation.

He can't guess Mei Baoqing's thoughts. It's better to let Mei Baoqing say it himself. Lu Yan quickly made a judgment, smiled and said in a low voice, "It is not by luck and chance that Brother Ming can get to this day. I think Brother Ming has made a decision in his heart, hasn't he? Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me here."

Mei Baoqing's slender and white fingers gently scratched the silver wine glass, and his voice was equally low and pleasant: "You are an official, and so is your father, but this is not the reason why I am willing to cooperate with you. You know, I have a lot of personal friends.

Subtext is that I have seen a lot of officials who are much older than you, so I'm not afraid of small officials like you. Lu Yan understood, but the other party was just stating the facts, so he was not annoyed and did not feel humiliated, so he just nodded gently: "I would like to hear more about it."

Mei Baoqing smiled: "The world says that there are no traitors and no businessmen, but in fact, most of the time I prefer to deal with decent people, reputable and capable people." He elegantly spread his arms, and the silver wine glass drew a beautiful arc under the candlelight. "I think it seems more cost-effective to bet on you in the long run."

"I'm not really familiar with business matters. In terms of business experience and talent alone, I am not as good as my second uncle and cousin. Lu Yan hesitated again and again and felt that it was completely necessary to explain this matter first. After all, it was impossible for Mei Baoqing not to be clear about this matter.

Mei Baoqing smiled again: "It's a good thing to be self-agnosed, but you are very blessed. Lin Shiquan once told me that someone gave him a chance, so he had him now.

Lu Yan once again understood who Mei Baoqing was referring to, and why Mei Baoqing was willing to reach out to him. He has an identity of walking in the officialdom, and a wife who can do business, both inside and outside. How can the second wife compare with them? In the long run, it is indeed the most cost-effective to cooperate with him. But he doesn't think that Mei Baoqing just wants to find a partner. You know, although the field in Qingzhou and Pingzhou is important, people like the Lu family are not a family. The Wu family and the Tao family will be happy to cooperate with Mei Baoqing. So he still had to make concessions. He whispered, "Thank you, Brother Ming, but I don't know, what can I do for you?"

Mei Baoqing was silent for a long time and said, "What if I only do long-term, mutually beneficial things? Maybe one day, you will go further up. At that time, I hope you still remember having a friend like me. If... Madam wants to make some money, then there is no need to help people make money in vain.

Lu Yan looked at Mei Baoqing and said nothing. He saw a lot of things on Mei Baoqing's face. There is a kind of person who likes to catch big fish on a long line. Although he is not sure whether he can become that big fish, although he really needs someone to push him, after all, even Lu Jianxin can't help him much in this regard. But he doesn't want to make such a promise and give himself to others easily.
