Chapter 270: Banquet

Lu Shao looked at Lu Yan silently. He intuitively felt that Lu Yan would flatter and invite Grandpa Lu tonight.
He has already started, but unfortunately never saw Mei Baoqing and talked with him in person. After talking with Lu Yan and Wang’s family, Mei Baoqing left Pingzhou the next morning, but Fang Daguan Gu made it clear to him, as long as his goods are good and cheap, it’s impossible not to avoid them, and faintly. I said that I hope there will be more wool weaving workshops that can weave good brown hair, and we can cooperate for a long time in the future.
So this business is definitely profitable. But what he couldn't be sure was to what extent Lu Yan and Mei Baoqing had talked about, and what promises they had made to make Lu Yan so happy and contented. But these are not important, because after tonight, Lu Yan's previous deeds will no longer be seen, and the brown hair that he eats can only be spit out secretly, let alone building a wool weaving workshop.
Lu Shao waited patiently.
After three rounds of drinking, Lu Jian stood up, held the flask to pour the people in the seat, and walked to his seat, but didn't intend to sit down, only held the wine glass in his hand, ready to speak.
it's time! Lu Shao looked up at Lu Jianzhong.
"Father!" Lu Jianzhong smiled and got up, raised his wine glass high, glanced at Lu Yan from the corner of his eyes, and said in a cheerful tone: "The son first wishes his father good health. There is another good thing to say to his father." Lu Yan clenched again with regret. The cup sat down.
"Oh?" Grandpa Lu shrugged his eyebrows happily and took a sip of wine: "What's a good thing?" Lu Jianzhong smiled: "There is a business that can make our family have a big fat year. It's a brown business." He saw When Lu Yan's expression suddenly changed, his eyes flickered, and the smile on the corners of his lips also disappeared suddenly, and he was twelve minutes of joy, and he casually pointed to Lu Shao: "Da Lang, you speak." Lu Shao got up and talked to the old man. He saluted and said with some shame: "Grandfather Rongzi, that's it. A few days ago, my grandson was very sad because of the shop, and felt that he was burdened by his grandfather's heavy trust. Among them, I accepted the invitation of a few friends.
I went to Wuzhanglou to have a meal and relax. I heard people say in the gap. Nowadays, the northern hair brown is popular, especially the zhijin hair brown is very popular. "
Lu Yan's eyes grew darker and darker, and the ebony-inlaid silver chopsticks in his hand trembled slightly.
Lu Shao saw his teeth clenched tightly, and seemed to be able to stand up at any time to refute him, so he speeded up his speech: "The grandson put the matter in his heart and asked about it, and it was true. Wang’s family gathered around and Mei Baoqing was also gathering. So grandson dared to beg his grandfather. This opportunity cannot be easily let go."
Mrs. Lu was very interested, and leaned back on the chair and said, "Didn't people in the north always love silk brocade? How come they like the fluffy brown now? But this is really a good opportunity, let's talk about it." After Mrs. Lu's words were finished, Lu Yan's eyelids drooped and his face expressionless, only an abnormal blush appeared on his face.
Lu Shao let out a sigh of relief, Lu Yan had already missed the opportunity, and there was no point in speaking again. So he settled down and said slowly: "Speaking of this hairy brown, other places are not as good as ours. But the hairy brown of Pingzhou is not as good as Qingzhou huā. There are many colors, varieties, and good workmanship. Others The local brown hair weighs 16 taels, the Pingzhou brown brown weighs 15 taels, and the Qingzhou brown brown weighs only 14 taels..." He told all the things he had inquired about these days. It is clear and logical. The more you speak, the happier and smoother you speak. The more you speak, the more you speak, Mrs. Lu smiled and was very satisfied: "You have done your homework this time. What happened to Mei Baoqing?"
Lu Shao didn’t get Mei Baoqing’s promise personally. Lu Shao felt a little uneasy, but he knew that he couldn’t get into trouble at this time. He said boldly:
It’s been negotiated, and he said how much to receive. He also wants us to build Maozhi. Fang Sheng, a special weaving workshop, mentioned huā weaving golden hair and brown, and sent it to the princes and nobles in the North Desert for long-term cooperation.
The old lady Lu thought for a moment, and said:
If this is the case, then just do it. Only this wool weaving workshop. Things, wait for the new year to say again. "New Year? What Lu Shao fears most at this time is Chinese New Year, and what he hates most is Chinese New Year. The New Year will be a watershed for Erfang, for him and Lu Yan. He doesn’t know how eccentric Mr. Lu is. I’m afraid he has worked so hard here for a long time. Then the good thing about setting up a wool weaving workshop will fall on Lu Yan again. When the wool weaving workshop is built and earned The money was all credit for Lu Yan.
Why do you call him willing? !
Lu Shao plucked up his courage, got out of his seat, went to kneel in front of Grandpa Lu, with a sonorous voice, and said, "Grandfather, please give your grandson one more chance." Grandpa Lu squinted his eyes: "Dalang, you What is this for?"
Lu Shao didn't say anything, tears shed first: "Grandfather, the grandson is not aware of his knowledge, so his family has lost a lot of money. The grandson has been disturbed, so he wants to make up for it. To tell you the truth, this business is something the grandson has been thinking about for a long time. After searching for a long time, I finally got the news. In order to be foolproof, I have been busy for more than a month, everything is ready, and I dare to speak in front of my grandfather.
I beg my grandfather's prospective grandson to round out this face! Just let your grandson build this woollen workshop, and your grandson will surely be able to make up for the previous losses. …After saying this, he knocked his head down, and his forehead could not touch the ground.
Lu Jianzhong was silent, looking at Grandpa Lu from the left and Lu Yan from the right. Grandpa Lu tapped his fingers on the arm of the chair lightly, his eyes hidden under his eyebrows, and his expression was dim and unclear, as if he could not make up his mind. However, Lu Yan pressed his lips tightly, staring at the wine glass in front of him, his face becoming more flushed.
"Get up, if you want to benefit the family, how can you be a grandfather to stop you? Young people are very ambitious. It is good for Erlang to help your brother stand up." The old man Lu's tone is very gentle, but Lu Shao knows himself. You can't resist your orders, you have already done what you need to do, and you must stand up obediently. So before Lu Yan got up, he stood up on his own initiative, still with tears in his eyes, which was an indescribable honesty.
Grandpa Lu suddenly looked at Lu Yan: "Erlang, what do you think?"
Lu Yan's heart couldn't help beating wildly. He even didn't dare to look into the eyes of Grandpa Lu, those eyes, no matter how harsh they were against others, they always showed warmth and love when facing him.
He wanted to lie to the old lady Lu. Although he had told Lin Jinrong that he would not break or stand up, but he really told him that this is not filial piety and this is disappointing. But after all, he heard his own voice calmly ringing: "Grandfather is asking about opening the Maofangfang?"
Grandpa Lu looked at him gently: "Yes, do you think this workshop can be opened?"
Both Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao looked at Lu Yan with a little nervousness, and at the same time they felt more resentful in their hearts. They didn't expect that Old Lady Lu already trusted him so much, and he would have to ask him about such things. It's too partial, you can imagine. If Lu Yan can't tell at this time, he won't open it. If he suddenly remembers after the year, he will be his again.
However, Lu Yan smiled faintly, and said in a calm voice: "Grandson has only been concentrating on studying since he was a child, and has only been in contact with business matters in recent years. He has limited knowledge and cannot communicate with his grandfather,
Compared with the second uncle and the eldest brother. "Although he didn't say it clearly, he showed his attitude. He couldn't provide advice.
Both Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Jianzhong said: "Father, if you don't want to open a workshop, you just want to take in the households: if you want to open it after all, you should start early, and save the good weavers behind. They were all snatched away. There are a lot of people who can weave hair and brown, but not many can weave gold." As he said, he winked at Master Lu San, motioning him to help.
On this occasion, Lu Jianli was always a transparent person. Seeing Lu Jianzhong winking at him, he was a little flattered for a while, but seeing that Lu Jian was obviously not interested and full of thoughts, he knew that he shouldn't say more, and he simply lowered his eyes. Sit there transparent to the end.
After the screen, all the female families stopped their movements and listened quietly to the movement ahead. Lu held his stomach contentedly, sat down at the table steadily, enjoying the girl's service with peace of mind, squinting at Lin Jinrong who was busy serving the old lady Lu, his heart was full of pride.
Lin Jinrong's ears were erected high, but his eyes were not relaxing at all. Seeing that Mrs. Lu's eyes were looking at a plate of dripping crystal paintings, he immediately put them in Mrs. Lu's plate. What Mrs. Lu likes the most is her temperament. No matter what the men outside say or what the women inside are arguing about, she can always do her things with peace of mind. She patted her hand at the moment. Wen Yan said: "Good boy taro, sit down and eat too." Lin Jinrong knew that she was not lie, so he sat down beside Lu with a smile, and as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, he listened to Grandpa Lu outside slowly saying: "Okay, since I want to open it. , Just let it go." Lu Shao's joy couldn't be hidden behind a screen: "Thank you, grandfather. Grandson will start preparations tomorrow." Lin Jinrong's heart fell firmly into his chest. The expression on his face became serious, and he basically didn't move the food. Lu Shi could see clearly, and he still had to pretend to persuade him: "The second sibling hasn't eaten the food at home for a long time. Eat more soon. This is the eldest aunt specially arranged for you to go home today."
"Thank you Sister-in-law for your concern, Sister-in-law eats two meals alone, so you should eat more." Lin Jinrong just smiled, but didn't move his chopsticks.
Suddenly, Tu said: "Second nephew and daughter-in-law, it is not that I said you, you are too thin.
You can also say that medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, so why would you not take more? "Lin Yuzhen didn't say anything, she just picked a piece of fat mutton and put it in Lin Jinrong's bowl. Her expression was that you have to eat this piece of meat anyway.
Lin Jinrong looked over the faces of everyone present. Except for Mrs. Lu and Lu, she saw a trace of dissatisfaction on the faces of Tu and Lin Yuzhen.
