Scholars unparalleled

"Brother Lu, this..."

Seeing the boxes in front of him, Liu Wensheng couldn't help but look at Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng looked at Liu Wensheng, and smiled lightly, "Why, do you think it's tacky to give these things? It's not that simple to become an official in Beijing. You need to use money to take care of some things. Beijing is no better than Fufeng City. You want There are many places to spend."

Liu Wensheng was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he really felt that since he was hand-picked by the emperor, he really didn't need to worry so much about becoming an official in Beijing.

Liu Xiangnan also looked over at this moment, seeing that the box was full of gold and silver items, he was also taken aback for a moment.

Originally, he knew that Lu Chensheng had a lot of profitable properties under his name, but he didn't think too much about it. Only now did he realize that Lu Chensheng was so capable of making money.

It was really unexpected.

"Accept it, what Lu Xiaozi said is right, you really need money to enter the court and become an official, and you are upright as a father and an official, but this thing is not of much help."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiangnan also felt a little ashamed, he was used to being a clean magistrate, although his salary was good.

But the people, big and small, raised in the mansion, the daily expenses, plus occasional sympathy for the soldiers who fought against him before.

In this way, his money will be very tight.

Compared with Lu Chensheng, that is a sky and an earth.

Because of this, Liu Wensheng couldn't even afford peach blossom wine, and he would go to Lu Chensheng's to drink wine on weekdays.

Hearing what his father said, Liu Wensheng nodded and asked his followers to move the box into the carriage.

"And this, you can also accept it, it should be of great use to you."

Lu Chensheng took out a small wooden box and delivered it to Liu Wensheng himself.

Liu Wensheng opened the wooden box and took a look, and saw a book lying inside, which seemed to be written recently.

Seeing this, he immediately smiled, "Let me just say, this is what you should give Brother Lu."

Lu Chensheng raised his brows when he heard this, "So, let's return those boxes just now."

"There is no reason to return the things that are sent out!"

Liu Wensheng became anxious when he heard the words, and said in a hurry.

With so much silver in front of him, it would be a lie if he said he wasn't tempted. In addition, his father said that he would need this money to become an official in the court, so he couldn't return it!

Thinking of this, Liu Wensheng murmured, "You are a scholar, how come you look like a rich man! I'm afraid you are already rich by now!"

Speaking of this, Liu Wensheng felt a little aggrieved.

At any rate, he is also the son of a magistrate, and he has lived a good life since he was a child.

But what is it compared to Lu Chensheng?

With so much money being given away with a single gesture, the merchants in Fufeng City are probably incomparable to Lu Chensheng.

The more he thought about it, the more Liu Wensheng felt that Lu Chensheng looked like a big dog.

Lu Chensheng was speechless when he heard this. He used the word "big dog" occasionally when chatting, but he didn't expect that the other party would use it on him indiscriminately.

"Take the books and study them carefully. After entering the court and becoming an official, don't lose your heart."

Lu Chensheng's face was slightly serious, and he spoke to Liu Wensheng.

This friend is about to become an official in the court, so what Lu Chensheng can help is naturally to help a little bit, but more is still up to the other party.

If the other party is greedy for power and obsessed with it at that time, Lu Chensheng will not be able to control it.

Liu Wensheng raised his hand and punched Lu Chensheng, "At that time, I will personally go to the frontier to lead the way. Either I will be killed by the Tartars, or I will kill the Tartars!"

Lu Chensheng nodded, and sent the willow branches that were just folded, "It will take a farewell to send you thousands of miles away."

Liu Wensheng took the willow branch, nodded and smiled, "I'll wait for you in the imperial capital."

Lu Chensheng's face froze when he heard this, "You don't know what to say!"

Waiting for him in the imperial capital is tantamount to saying that sooner or later you will come to the imperial capital to be an official. Lu Chensheng naturally felt extremely uncomfortable hearing this.

Liu Xiangnan took a step forward at this moment, and told his son some advice.

"Boy Lu is very kind to you. You are very happy to have such a close friend. As a father, if Boyle Lu also enters the court as an official in the future, you must not part ways with him. He treats you kindly, and you must treat him as well." in this way."

"Don't worry, father, the child knows."

Liu Wensheng said something nonchalantly.

Liu Xiangnan's face was serious, a little worried.

"Don't think that you are talking too much for your father. For your father, after seeing many officials in the court, you have cut off all your friends and lost all your friendships. You have devoted yourself to some people. If you have your own circle, you must maintain your own heart.

There is nothing wrong with Lu Xiaozi's exhortation just now. "

When Liu Wensheng heard this, his face became serious, "Father, don't worry, if this day comes, what the child said before will definitely be true."

Liu Xiangnan was a little relieved when he heard the words, "Well, let's start, if it's later, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to the station."

Liu Wensheng nodded, looked back at the group of friends, and cupped his hands: "Send it here, gentlemen."

"Brother Liu is safe all the way."

Everyone responded one by one and said goodbye.

After Liu Wensheng nodded in response, he got into the carriage.

At this time, the carriage creaked and moved forward slowly.

After watching the carriage leave slowly, Lu Chensheng and the others turned and left.

When Lu Chensheng returned to Taohuawu, the fifth day of the lunar new year came forward, "My lord, the merchants in Lin'an Prefecture want to have a banquet with you, and talk about some business contacts."

As the fifth day of the lunar new year spoke, he handed over the letter paper in his hand.

After hearing the words, Lu Chensheng opened it up and read the contents of the letter, and frowned slightly.

"Why do you want to entertain me? Did something happen in business?"

"I heard that some of our peach blossom paper and peach blossom wine in Lin'an Mansion are not selling well recently, and the money has lost a lot compared to before."

I don't know exactly what happened on the fifth day of the lunar new year, but I only know that compared with the previous time, the money that could have been earned has decreased a lot.

Chapter 136

"Looking at the situation, some people in Lin'an Mansion may be thinking about our peach blossom paper."

On the side of Lin'an Mansion, it's a bit far away from here, and Liu Wensheng is really beyond his reach.

Right now, there are people over there who have moved the business here, which seems a little normal.

Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng frowned slightly, and just sent out several boxes of silver, just because there was some blood in his heart.

It's really intolerable to have a little bit of family wealth saved up with great difficulty, and now someone still uses his income!

"Well, according to our teahouse in Lin'an Prefecture, the news passed back is this."

Chu Wu heard the words and nodded quickly.

"Let's prepare for it. I heard that Lin'an Mansion is quite rich. Can we give up such a piece of fertile land?"

Chu Wu nodded repeatedly when he heard the words. When he just went down, he saw that several boxes were missing below, and Chu Wu felt extremely distressed.

At this moment, she was thinking about how to replenish the box as soon as possible.

"Husband, could it be that the old woman arranged for someone to do what happened this time?"

Qiongyue said on the side, if the old woman arranged for someone to do this, it would be a bit like luring Lu Chensheng out of Taohuawu, and then it would be easy to do it.

Coincidentally, how long has it been since the old woman came here last time?

To put it this way, it is still very possible.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng thought for a while, then shook his head.

"It's unlikely. There is no benefit for the other party to do so, and if someone she arranges to take action, it will be easy to leave some clues."

Lu Chensheng looked for the other party for so long, but there was no clue at all.

Judging from the situation when the other party made a move, everyone was easy to see, which was enough to show that the other party was cautious.

It's not like the other party's style to arrange such means now.

"However, you still have to be careful. The lady has stayed in Taohuawu for a long time. How about going to Lin'an Mansion together?"

The scenery in Lin'an Mansion is still very good, and the West Lake is located in it, which is a favorite place for many talents.

Qiong Yue nodded, worrying about her husband's safety in her heart, it was naturally impossible for her to let her husband go alone.

"By the way, how many people were recruited before Shouyue?"

Lu Chensheng turned his head suddenly, and looked at Shouyue at the side.

According to what Qiongyue said, the Shouyue competition before was actually just recruiting people.

"Only the four can still see the past, and the rest are all eliminated."

Hearing this, Shou Yue cast a glance at Lu Chensheng and replied.

Only four?This is too little.

Listening to the number, Lu Chensheng felt that the number of recruits was too small.

Shouyue looked at Lu Chensheng's face, she didn't know what Lu Chensheng was thinking, and immediately raised eyebrows.

"You think it's so easy to find people! If the person you find is dishonest, it will only tarnish our reputation, and we will have to take the blame for doing evil."

It was pretty good to be able to recruit four of them, all of whom could be seen by Shou Yue.

"I just think that there are too few people in this line, and there is no other meaning."

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng quickly waved his hand and said something.

Hearing this, Shou Yue looked a little better.

"I will find some people who can pass and take it under my command."

After finishing speaking, Shouyue turned around and left, she also knew that something was wrong with the current situation.

Before, the old woman came to the door unscrupulously, without paying attention to them at all.

If they were strong enough, how could the opponent be so relaxed, didn't they even make a move when they left?

Because we all know that they can't stop the other party from leaving.

But under such circumstances, it shows that their strength is a bit too low.

For Shouyue, this seemed a bit of a shame.

Lu Chensheng didn't think so much, if he couldn't keep the other party, he couldn't keep him, but this made Lu Chensheng feel a little bit of crisis.

I always feel that the opponent's secret strength may be much stronger.

The reason why he didn't do anything was probably because the other party felt that he was not yet ready to let the other party out.

Or in other words, the other party feels that the benefits and risks of the shot are not proportional.

But no matter what, the other party should still be watching him.

If you don't do it now, it doesn't mean you won't do it in the future.

The other party came to him this time, probably because he had cured malaria, and the emperor was going to call him into the capital as an official.

After this incident came out, the other party should feel that there are many places he can take advantage of, so he sent someone to recruit him.

Based on such a guess, the possibility that the person behind the scene is in the imperial capital is very high.

It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be talked about everywhere, and it's impossible to ask someone for help.

If you say to the outside world that you have been in contact with someone who conspired against you, isn't that making yourself uncomfortable?

If you get infected with such a thing, you will lose your skin even if you don't die.

Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng frowned slightly. He was afraid that entering the emperor would be inevitable, and after entering, he would meet such a guy who was hiding in the dark.

This is simply a headache.

"By the way, let's also send some people into the stockade to watch, so as not to be touched into the stockade."

Lu Chensheng set up a few workshops around Taohuawu to confuse outsiders, and the peach blossom paper was delivered at night.

So far, the effect is not bad, but it cannot be guaranteed that someone will find out, so it is better to send a few people to guard it.
