Chu Huan was following Linlang to the hall, when he suddenly heard the sound outside, and his face became solemn like Linlang.

Chu Huan naturally knew that Linlang's Heshengquan was now in a predicament, and he went to Taiyuan Mansion to ask for help from the Lu family, and the root cause was because Old Lady Liu, the president of the Yunshan Mansion Chamber of Commerce, was obstructing him.

Old lady Liu and the old cow wanted to eat tender grass, but they didn't succeed, so they retaliated against Linlang, and secretly ordered the grain merchants of Yunshan Mansion not to supply grain to Heshengquan, although this matter was not put on the table, but everyone also knew it, but they didn't expect that the old guy would suddenly come to the door today.

The title of "old lady" is not something that everyone can bear, even if there are other elders surnamed Liu in Yunshan, but except for the old guy, I am afraid that no one dares to call "Old lady Liu".

Linlang said in a low voice: "What does Lu Shixun want to do?" Obviously, it is clear that Mrs. Liu was also invited by Lu Shixun, and it was okay to invite Commander Luo, but what did Lu Shixun invite Mrs. Liu to do.

Su Bo was also by Linlang's side at this time, and said in a low voice: "Miss, bear with me for the time being, Lord Luo is here!" ”

The old man knows very well the truth that the people do not fight with the officials, although the Su family is also a big business family in Yunshan Mansion, but after all, it is the people, and today Commander Luo is coming, so he can't make the scene too embarrassing.

Linlang nodded slightly, she took care of Sheng Quan, naturally she was not an ordinary woman, turned around, and saw that from the door of the mansion, a young man in Tsing Yi was helping an old man to come into the mansion.

Chu Huan glanced at the old lady Liu a few times, and saw that this old guy was dressed in brocade, with a cane in his right hand, although his beard and hair were white, but the skin on his face was not as wrinkled as that of ordinary old men.

Linlang gritted her teeth, and finally stepped forward, Yingying saluted, and reluctantly smiled: "Linlang has seen Liu Shibo!" ”

With a kind smile, Old Lady Liu raised her hand and said, "Linlang, they are all from your own family, so don't be so formal." The old man hasn't come to see you for a long time, and today I have this opportunity to come and have a look. ”

He looked kind and kind, if it weren't for Chu Huan who already knew that this old guy was a very despicable and shameless person, he would really have been deceived by this old guy's kind face.

Mrs. Liu is nearly seventy years old this year, and he has long been a person who has stepped into the coffin with half a foot, but he is well maintained, and he looks less than sixty years old.

At that moment, he greeted Mrs. Liu into the main hall, and when Commander Luo saw Mrs. Liu come in, he had already gotten up and said with a smile: "Old lady, on such a cold day, you have worked tirelessly to come to the banquet, which is really to save face." ”

He was the commander of the guard, but he also had a little respect for the old lady Liu, Chu Huan saw it in his eyes, and knew that this old guy was indeed rich and powerful, and he was a great figure in Yunshan Mansion.

Old lady Liu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Old Lady Su was good friends with the old man when he was alive, and now that he is gone, the old man will not forget the old love, and today he also took this opportunity to come and see Linlang's niece." He said it lightly and naturally, as if he had nothing to do with Shengquan's predicament today.

Lu Shixun had already stepped forward quickly, bowed deeply, and said: "The little nephew is coming to Yunshan Mansion, and my father has explained that he will visit Uncle Liu on behalf of his old man. ”

He has a "Uncle Liu", which is very intimate.

At this time, Linlang, the real master, seemed to have become a supporting role, and this Lu Shixun really became the master of the Su family.

At the moment, everyone sat down, Luo Shiliang wanted to humbly give the main seat to Mrs. Liu, but was rejected by Mrs. Liu, the two of them excused themselves, Luo Shiliang finally sat in the main seat, and Mrs. Liu sat in the second seat, and the other big merchants also sat down in turn, the hall was brightly lit, and it was very lively for a while.

More than a dozen armored warriors brought by Luo Shiliang stood on both sides of the branch hall, one by one cold like stone sculptures, and Huang Zhixiao of Qianhu stood beside Luo Shiliang, with his hand on the handle of the saber at his waist, looking as if he was on guard against the enemy.

The maids of Sufu are like butterflies wearing flowers, holding hot meat delicacies, placing them on the table, and pouring wine for the guests.

As the host, Linlang naturally wanted to say a few words, but as soon as she wanted to get up, Lu Shixun had already picked up with a cup and said with a smile: "Today, thanks to all of you for your face, I came to the banquet, and the little nephew is really fortunate in three lives." Little nephew first toast to you! ”

He drank it all, and everyone drank their glasses.

When everyone put down the wine glasses, Lu Shixun arched his hand and said loudly: "The little nephew came to Yunshan Mansion this time, firstly, to meet you, and secondly, to bring food to Su Shimei. After a pause, he said slowly: "You all know that my Lu family and the Yunshan Su family are world friends, and the Su and Lu families are one, and the affairs of the Su family are the affairs of my Lu family. You are all well-known figures in Yunshan Mansion, today I gave the Lu family face, and came to the banquet, I Lu Shixun am very grateful, but I also want to say a word for Su Shimei, in the future, on the ground of Yunshan, I will ask you to take care of and Shengquan! ”

Linlang only felt that these words were very harsh, and without waiting for others to speak, she had already stood up, her expression was calm, and she smiled slightly: "Brother Lu Shi's kindness, Linlang is grateful, but what Brother Lu Shige said is bad." ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Linlang.

Under the gaze of everyone, Linlang was calm and elegant, and said slowly: "My Su family and Sheng Quan have indeed encountered some difficulties recently, and they have indeed been helped by Lu Shibo in Taiyuan, but they dare not climb the Lu family. The Lu family is a famous family in Taiyuan, and my Su family only moved from the relationship back then, and relied on my father's hard work to earn some family business, and I didn't dare to mix it up with the Lu family. He glanced at Lu Shixun, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "When the Su family encounters difficulties, if someone sincerely helps, my Su family is grateful, but if there is no intention to help, my Su family will not wag their tail and beg for mercy!" ”

Lu Shixun was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he still smiled reluctantly: "What Su Shimei said is extremely true. He said to Old Lady Liu: "Uncle Liu, the little nephew privately heard that Uncle Liu and Su Shimei had some misunderstandings...... ”

Before he finished speaking, Old Lady Liu had already stroked his beard and said, "Nephew Lu Shi's words are wrong. After a pause, he smiled and said: "The old man knows that some people with ulterior motives are sowing discord behind his back, wanting to destroy the relationship between the old man and the Su family. What they said was nothing more than that the old man instructed people to secretly obstruct the grain merchants from supplying grain to the Su family winery...... Hehe, it looks like it, but it's a pity that it's all nonsense, and it's pure slander against the old man! ”

Luo Shiliang, who was sitting on everyone, sat on the chair, looked like a rough and brave man, and said in a rough voice: "Don't worry, the old lady, the demagogic rumors are the most hateful, you can slander the old lady's reputation today, you can slander the court tomorrow, and you can gather people to rebel the day after tomorrow...... Ben will not sit idly by! ”

Chu Huan did not sit at this time, he was nominally the master of the Su family, so it was naturally not good to sit at the table, so he stood behind Linlang, and when he saw this group of people in a nest of snakes and rats, he knew that there was no good banquet today.

Old lady Liu smiled, shook his head and said: "Lord Luo is honest and honest, the guard side is stable, with a good official like Lord Luo, the people of Yunshan can be stable and peaceful." The old man is not taboo that someone is talking nonsense behind his back, his mouth is open on people, they want to talk nonsense, and the old man can't stop it. Looking at Linlang, he said sincerely: "The old man came today, but he wanted to explain to Linlang's niece!" ”

Linlang said lightly: "Linlang doesn't dare!" ”

"Linlang niece, the old man knows those gossips, but it still makes you have some misunderstanding about the old man, and I really think that the old man is making a hindrance." Old lady Liu sighed and said with a wry smile: "The old man is clean and self-conscious, and he has no other hobbies, that is, he cherishes his reputation and values affection. For those ordinary women in the market, the old man does not have to meet them in general, but the old man and the old Su family were good friends back then, and they have some affection for your Su family, if Linlang's niece has a misunderstanding of the old man, the old man is really uneasy! ”

Linlang shook his head and said, "Liu Shibo is too worried. There are some things, people are doing it, the sky is watching, if Liu Shibo is innocent and has a clear conscience, he doesn't have to care about the rumors in the market! Although my Su family is not a famous family, but it is not a low-eyed family, someone to help, my Su family is grateful, if someone makes a stumbling block behind their backs, Linlang has never been afraid! ”

Her words were loud and full of backbone, Chu Huan heard it behind him, a smile crossed his eyes, and he saw Linlang's gentleness on weekdays, but this woman really wanted to be serious, but she was also awe-inspiring and inviolable, and she didn't let her eyebrows.

Old lady Liu sighed: "Linlang's niece said this, and she was resentful. ”

Lu Shixun hurriedly said: "Uncle Liu, don't misunderstand, Su Shimei is this character, but it is not aimed at Uncle Liu. If there is something wrong with Su Shimei, the little nephew will make amends on her behalf! ”

When Linlang saw Lu Shixun's appearance, she felt disgusted in her heart, and said coldly: "Does Brother Lu Shilang think what Linlang said is inappropriate?" If there is something inappropriate, you can say it, Lord Luo is here today, and he will call the shots! ”

Lu Shixun said that, firstly, he wanted to show everyone that he had a close relationship with Linlang, and on the other hand, he also wanted to make a look of responsibility for the Su family to please Linlang, but he didn't want him to do this, but it made Linlang, who was arrogant in his bones, feel a lot of disgust.

Seeing that Linlang was unhappy, Lu Shixun hurriedly smiled and said, "Why is the sister even weird for being a brother?" As a brother, I don't mean to blame my sister. As my brother said, my sister's business is my brother's business, and my brother will make decisions for you! ”

Linlang was expressionless, and said lightly: "Linlang has always been willful and reckless in doing things, but no one has ever been able to call the shots for Linlang!" ”
