Chapter 270 Night Banquet
Lu Shao looked at Lu Yan silently. He intuitively felt that Lu Yan would flatter and invite favors with Mr. Lu tonight.
He has already done it. It's a pity that he has never seen Mei Baoqing and talked to him. After talking with Lu Yan and the Wang family, Mei Baoqing left Pingzhou early the next morning, but Fang Daguan said to him very clearly that as long as his goods are good and cheap, it is impossible not to take them. He also vaguely said that he hoped that there would be more woolen weaving workshops that could weave wool brown, and they could cooperate for a long
So this business will definitely make money. But what he can't be sure about is how much Lu Yan talked to Mei Baoqing and what promises he made to each other, so that Lu Yan was so full of spring breeze and complacency. But these don't matter, because after tonight, Lu Kun's previous actions will not be seen again, and the brown he ate can only secretly spit out, let alone build a wool workshop.
Lu Shao waited patiently.
After three rounds of drinking, Lu Yan stood up, took the wine pot and brewed wine for everyone in the seat. He walked to his seat, but did not plan to sit down. He only held the glass in his hand and was ready to speak.
It's time! Lu Shao looked up at Lu Jianzhong.
"Father!" Lu Jianzhong got up with a smile, raised his glass high, glanced at Lu Yan from the corners of his eyes, and said cheerfully, "My son wishes my father good health first. There is another good thing to tell my father. Lu Yan clenched his glass with some regret and sat down.
"Oh?" Master Lu shrugged his eyebrows happily and took a sip of wine: "What's good?" Lu Jianzhong laughed and said, "There is a business that can make our family have a big year. It's a brown business. He saw that Lu Yan's expression suddenly changed, his eyes flashed, and the smile at the corners of his lips suddenly disappeared. He was in a happy mood, so he pointed to Lu Shao unrestrainedly: "Dalang, say it to me." Lu Shao first got up and saluted Mr. Lu with a little shame and said, "Grandpa, it's like this. A few days ago, the grandson was very sad because of the shop, and he felt that it was shameless to have the heavy trust of his grandfather. In the depression, I was invited by several friends,
I went to Wuzhanglou for dinner and relax. I heard people's words at the break. Now the brown in the north is very popular, especially the golden brown is very popular.
Lu Yan's eyes were getting darker and darker, and the ebony silver-inlaid chopsticks in his hand also trembled gently.
Lu Shao saw that his teeth were very tight. It seemed that he could stand up at any time to refute himself and speed up his speech: "Sun'er put this matter in his heart and inquired around. It's true. The Wang family collected Mao Brown everywhere, and Mei Baoqing was also collecting it, so the grandson dared to beg his grandfather. This opportunity could not be easily let go.
Mr. Lu was very interested and leaned against the chair and said, "Didn't northerners love silk and brocade before? Why do you like brown now? But this is really a good opportunity. Let's talk about it. After Mr. Lu's words, Lu Yan's eyelids also hung down and his face was expressionless, and only an abnormal blush appeared on his face.
Lu Shao breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Yan had missed a good opportunity, and it made no sense to open his mouth again. So he calmed down and slowly said, "Speaking of this hairy brown, other places are not as good as ours. However, the brown color of Pingzhou is not as good as that of Qingzhou, with many varieties and good workmanship. The hairy brown one from other places weighs 16 taels, the hairy brown one weighs 15 taels, and the hairy brown one in Qingzhou weighs only 14 taels..." He told all the things he had inquired about these days. He said it clearly. The more he said, the happier he was. The more he said, the more obedient he said that the more he This time, I have done enough homework. What's going on with Mei Baoqing?
Lu Shao, who didn't get Mei Baoqing's promise in person, was a little uneasy, but he knew that he could not be in a mess at this time. At the moment, he said boldly, "It has been settled. He said how much he will receive. I also want us to build a wool weaving workshop, specialize in weaving Fang Shengti huā golden brown, and send it to the princes and nobles in Beimo for long-term cooperation. Old Master Lu pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, just do it. Let's talk about this matter of the weaving workshop after the New Year. New Year's? At this time, Lu Shao is most afraid of the Spring Festival, and what he hates most is the New Year. The Spring Festival will be a water line for the second room, and for him and Lu Yan. It's not that he doesn't know how biased Mr. Lu is. He is afraid that he has worked hard here for a long time, and then the good thing of setting up the wool weaving workshop will fall on Lu Wei. When the wool weaving workshop is built and makes money, it will all become Lu Wei's credit.
How can he be willing?!
Lu Shao summoned up his courage, got out of his seat, went to Mr. Lu and knelt down. His tone was sonorous and powerful, and he landed loudly: "Grandpa, please give your grandson another chance." Master Lu narrowed his eyes and said, "Dalang, what are you doing?"
Lu Shaowei burst into tears first: "Grandfather, my grandson's self-knowledge is unknown, which has caused the family to spend a lot of money. Sun's heart has always been uneasy, so he wants to make up for it. To tell you the truth, this business is the news that my grandson has been thinking about for a long time and looking for for a long time. In order to be sure of all, I have been busy for more than a month, and everything is ready, so I dare to open this door in front of my grandfather.
I beg my grandfather to let my grandson make this face! You can let your grandson build this wool weaving workshop, and your grandson will definitely be able to make up for the losses ahead. ... After saying that, he kowtowed, and his forehead could not touch the ground.
Lu Jianzhong was silent, looking at Master Lu from the left and Lu Yan from the right. Mr. Lu's fingers tapped gently on the armrest of the chair, and his eyes were hidden under his eyebrows. His expression was dark and unclear, as if he couldn't make up his mind. Lu Yan squeezed his lips tightly and stared at the wine glass in front of him, and the blush on his face became more and more prosperous.
"Get up. If you want to make profits for the family, how can a grandfather stop you? It's good for young people to have ambitions. Erlang helps your brother to stand up. Mr. Lu's tone was very gentle, but Lu Shao knew that he could not disobey his orders. He had done what he had to do and must stand up immediately. So before Lu Yan got up, he took the initiative to stand up, with tears in his eyes, which was really indescribably honest and grievance.
Mr. Lu suddenly looked at Lu Yan: "Erlang, what do you think?"
Lu Yan's heart jumped uncontrollably. He didn't even dare to look into Mr. Lu's eyes. No matter how strict he was to others, he always looked at him with warmth and love.
He wanted to lie to Mr. Lu. Although he had told Lin Jinrong that he would not stand, he really told Mr. Lu that there was a voice in his heart to tell him that it was unfilial and disappointment. But after all, he heard his voice sounded calmly: "Grandpa asked about the weaving workshop?"
Mr. Lu looked at him gently: "Yes, do you think this workshop can be opened?"
Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao looked at Lu Yan with a little nervousness, and at the same time, they were even more resentful. They didn't expect that Master Lu trusted him so much that he had to ask him about this kind of thing. It's too biased to imagine. If Lu Yan can't say it at this time, he can't open it. If he suddenly remembers it after the Spring Festival, it will naturally become him again.
Lu Yan smiled faintly and said in a light voice: "My grandson has only focused on reading since he was a child, and he has only been in contact with business matters in recent years. His knowledge is limited to the end, and he can't be with his grandfather,
Compared with the second uncle and the eldest brother. Although it was not clear, it was a clear attitude, and he could not provide advice.
Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao were relieved. Lu Jianzhong said, "Father, if you don't want to open a workshop, just do it's enough: if you want to open it after all, you should do it earlier, so that the good weavers behind will be robbed by others. There are many people who can weave brown hair, but there are not many people who can weave gold. As he spoke, he winched at Lu Sanye Lu and motioned him to help.
On this occasion, Lu Jian has always been a transparent person. Seeing that Lu Jianzhong winked at him, he was a little flattered for a moment, but when he saw that Lu Yan was obviously not interested and full of trouble, he knew that he should not say more, so he simply lowered his eyes and sat there transparently to the end.
After the screen, a girl stopped and quietly listened to the movement in front of her. Lv held his stomach with satisfaction, sat firmly at the table, and enjoyed the maid's service with peace of mind. He squinted at Lin Jinrong, who was busy serving Mrs. Lu, and his heart was full of pride.
Lin Jinrong's ears stood high, but his eyes did not relax at all. Seeing Mrs. Lu's eyes looking at a plate of crisp crystal painting, he immediately put it in Mrs. Lu's plate. Mrs. Lu's favorite thing is her temper. No matter what the men outside say and what the women inside fight for, she can always do her things well with peace of mind. At that moment, she gently patted her hand and said gently, "Good child, you can also sit down and eat." Lin Jinrong knew that she was not fake, so he sat down beside Lv with a smile. As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, he heard Master Lu say slowly, "Okay, since you want to open it, just open it." Lu Shao's joy could not be covered by a screen: "Thank you, Grandpa. My grandson will start preparing tomorrow. Lin Jinrong's heart fell firmly into his chest. The expression on his face became solemn, and he basically didn't move the food. Lv Shi saw it clearly and pretended to persuade: "My second sister-in-law hasn't eaten the food at home for a long time. Eat more quickly. This is specially arranged by my aunt for you to go home today.
"Thank you for your concern. If your sister-in-law eats two meals alone, you should eat more." Lin Jinrong just smiled, but did not move his chopsticks.
Suddenly, Tu said, "Second niece, I'm not talking about you, you're too thin.
You also said that food is better than medicine. Why don't you want to eat more? Lin Yuzhen didn't say anything. She directly picked up a fat piece of mutton and put it in Lin Jinrong's bowl. The expression was that you had to eat this piece of meat anyway.
Lin Jinrong looked at the faces of the people here. Except for Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, she saw a trace of dissatisfaction on the faces of Tu and Lin Yuzhen.
