Chapter 83: To Marry or Not to Marry

Forsythia imitated Lu Junzhao's words with excitement. On the side, Yuzhu saw Lin Wan's face becoming more and more gloomy. He stepped forward and pulled Forsythia, then quickly took a step forward to block Forsythia, and smiled at Lin Wan.

: "Girl, shopkeeper Liao is here and waiting in the alley behind. He said there is news about the Feng family."

Lin Wan frowned and was silent for a moment, nodded, and gave orders to Qiu Zi and others, and Yu Zhu led him out of the back corner door to meet Liao Zhongwen.

"Girl, the Feng family's grain hasn't been sold yet. Several big grain merchants in the north have received overtures from the Feng family. I estimate that the Feng family should have about three thousand dan of grain in stock. This year's autumn harvest has just passed, and the new grain has been harvested for a few days.

It's almost time to go to market, and I'm afraid the Feng family's food may be a little inappropriate." Liao Zhongwen smiled gently and talked about the Feng family's affairs. Finally, he thought of Zhao Youqian and smiled sarcastically, "Shopkeeper Zhao will take his family there.

When I got to the south, I heard that I hadn’t obtained my new household registration yet. I was detained along the way, and all my belongings were confiscated by a group of officers and soldiers. Shopkeeper Zhao found Shopkeeper Wen, who was in charge of water transportation in the south, and wanted him to make peace.

After making peace, Shopkeeper Wen did not dare to offend those officers and soldiers, so he only gave Shopkeeper Zhao travel expenses and sent his family away."

"That's fine. There are always people with whom we have an old relationship. If you can, help us." Lin Wan smiled calmly, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, "We won't accept the food from the Feng family.

.You can secretly inquire and find out where the Feng family's grain reserves are stored. If you find out clearly, send me a message!"

Liao Zhongwen looked at Lin Wan in surprise, then laughed with understanding and hurriedly accepted.

At noon, Lu Junzhao said goodbye. Only then did Mrs. Liu's tense face completely calm down. She called Aunt Wei and complained with a smile: "Mama, you must have heard it outside. This is also a disrespectful person! He dares to say anything.

explain!"

Aunt Wei sighed and couldn't stop the smile on her face. "It's rare for him to speak so confidently. Hey, I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen someone who wants to marry me speak so straightforwardly.

, I blushed when I heard that, but my wife could not sit still!" Aunt Wei said, holding her stomach and laughing non-stop, "General Lu's words were a bit inappropriate. But the meaning is clear. I think he is also sincere.

, I am somewhat sincere towards our girl. If I say something that I shouldn’t say, Madam, why don’t you think about it again?”

Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back any longer and glanced at Nanny Wei helplessly. After a moment of silence, she covered her mouth and laughed. She also did some ridiculous things when she was young. She has seen and heard a lot of them over the years.

.But this is the first time I have met someone like Lu Junzhao, and I have never seen him so unable to speak!

The more Ms. Liu thought about it, the funnier she became. She laughed until tears came out. Then she slowly stopped, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. She breathed a long sigh of relief: "Sister Wan has to order this herself."

You just have to kill him. You didn't see it, but you girls didn't look better when they saw him. It's also because Lu Erlang himself is ignorant, let's see how sincere he is."

During lunch, Mrs. Liu said expressionlessly that Lu Junzhao came to ask for her hand in marriage. Lin Wan glanced at Mrs. Liu's face, thought about it and found it funny, and hurriedly arranged the dishes for Mrs. Liu, and said to please her: "Mother is still alive.

I'm so angry! It's been several months, so just put on a smile." Then he mumbled softly. "Lu Junzhao doesn't know the importance of it, so I'm the one to blame! I'm your biological daughter.

The mother can’t blame everything on her daughter, she should teach him a lesson!”

Ms. Liu glanced sideways at Lin Wan and said solemnly: "You are my daughter so I can tell you properly. I also taught Lu Erlang a lesson. I am more sensible than you. I know how to admit my mistakes and I have a good attitude!"

Lin Wan was startled when she heard this. She paused in her hand movements and cursed Lu Junzhao in her heart. She sat down next to Mr. Liu and said with a smile: "I know I was wrong. If anything happens again in the future, I will definitely do it."

Tell your mother immediately and let her teach him a lesson!"

Mrs. Liu gave Lin Wan an angry look and couldn't keep it up any longer. She burst into laughter, tapped Lin Wan's forehead and sighed, "That kid has made it clear today. No wonder he went there specially at the beginning of this year."

This is the original idea of ​​​​we running here. I think he is sincere. Princess Wei has said it several times before that the Lu family is sincere enough. But their family is too prominent, Lu Erlang

He is also a military commander. Today, you can tell at a glance that he is not a talkative person and has a bit of a stubborn temper. You are also stubborn. When two people meet in the same place, you don’t know whether it is good or bad. As for Qi Lang of the Chen family, people have also inquired about it.

He has a good temperament and a simple family. It’s just that the Chen family deliberately cultivated him, and the child is also willing to make progress. Now he has taken a position in the Ministry of Personnel, and several sisters-in-law from your second aunt’s family are proposing marriage for him. It’s just that

In the future, he may rely too much on the direct descendants of the Chen family in his official career, and your entertainment is indispensable." Mrs. Liu analyzed both families in detail, and said sternly to Lin Wan, "Tell me what you think.

?”

Lin Wan frowned and sighed, unable to make a decision at the moment. "Mother, let me think about it carefully."

In the evening, Lin Wan was fidgeting with the chess pieces when Yu Zhu looked at Kong Kong and replied to Liao Zhongwen's words.

"Shopkeeper Liao said that the Feng family has never been in the grain business. It is very easy to find the places where grain is stored. Two are in the suburbs of Beijing, one is in Yingshan County, and the other is in Luoyanpo to the north."

After listening to Yuzhu's words, Lin Wan gently placed the chess pieces on the chessboard. A smile appeared on her face. She jumped off the bed, took two steps towards the door, and shouted "Zhou Ming" loudly.

"Tell him what Liao Zhongwen said." Lin Wan's eyes were bright and she ordered Yuzhu.

Yuzhu hurriedly said it again. Zhou Ming looked at Lin Wan without knowing why, and asked hesitantly, "Do you want me to bring a message to you?"

"Not bad, not bad, I'm a bit smarter than before!" Lin Wan smiled and patted Zhou Ming's arm, nodded in praise, "If you pass these words to your father intact, the Feng family will be ruined. In addition, I

Trade this news for him!"

Zhou Ming blinked his eyes in surprise, then he chuckled and said, "If you have anything to do, just ask me. If you want to check something, I will do my best."

Lin Wan stared at Zhou Ming and smiled for a moment, then slowly said something: "What did you find out about me being poisoned last time? Girl, I don't want anything else, I just want a result."

Zhou Ming's eyes shrank, hesitantly evading the most important things and choosing the lightest things, and he stopped in embarrassment under Lin Wan's smiling eyes.

"Okay. Go ahead and pass the message along with what I just said." Lin Wan smiled gently and waved to Zhou Ming.

Seeing that Zhou Ming disappeared, Lin Wan pulled down the corner of her mouth and snorted softly. Grandma and Aunt Cao both advised her to consider the Lu family. Now even her mother has relaxed her attitude towards Lu Junzhao. It's really... Lin

Wan pulled her hair irritably, ignoring the slight confusion in her heart, and then thought of the Chen family again.

After hearing Zhou Ming's words, Lu Junzhao was filled with joy at first, and then his face darkened. Awan was able to send the news about the Feng family, and she and him really thought of something. When Lu Junzhao thought of this, his heart was filled with softness, and his

Ah Wan always reminds him of one thing.

But as soon as he heard Lin Wan say that he wanted to know the cause and effect of her poisoning, Lu Junzhao's face darkened unconsciously, his eyes darkened, and murderous aura flowed from his body.

"Go back and tell the girl that I will explain this matter to her so that she can feel at ease."

Zhou Ming lowered his head and hesitated for a moment. Then he agreed and went out, but he was worried. The girl was afraid that she would sneer at him again.

To Zhou Ming's expectation, Lin Wan just nodded with a serious face after hearing Lu Junzhao's words, without asking any more questions. Zhou Ming withdrew with doubts.

In the room, Qiu Zi glanced at Lin Wan's face and asked tentatively: "Girl, what's the matter..."

"No need to check anymore!" Lin Wan looked confused and lowered his eyes slightly. He called Yuzhu in a loud voice. "You can go to the concierge to find Mr. Cao and ask him to bring a message to Ding Chang'an. Say there is no need for the Yao family.

Watch."

Yuzhu and Qiuzi looked at each other, didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly agreed and went out.

Lin Wan looked at the scattered moonlight outside the window, and her heart gradually rose. Lu Junzhao said this, firstly, because he did not want her to interfere, and secondly... I am afraid that the person behind him is not someone she can afford. Is he really a member of the royal family?

But she is a boudoir girl, and at most she is doing business in the north. She is not belittling herself. It is not the turn of someone like her to spend so much time on poisoning! - What if this matter has something to do with the Lu family?

Lin Wan's mind was spinning rapidly. She remembered what Zhu Si and Zhou Ming had said about Lu Junzhao when he was a child, and her fingers gradually clenched into fists. The more she thought about it, the more powerless she felt. From the moment Lu Junzhao came to her, she had been marked by the Lu family.

! Even if she is engaged to Chen Qilang at this moment, with Lu Junzhao's temperament, I don't know what ridiculous things he can do! - Why is it that the more she wants to break off the relationship with him, the more unclear she becomes?

To marry or not to marry? Lin Wan gradually felt a boundless irritability in her heart.

The next day, Lu Junzhao asked Xu Luwen to prepare a summary and submitted it to the court himself. Xu Luwen had an average literary talent, but he was very good at nonsense. He wrote a lot of eloquent words, first of all, he said that the victory of the battle in the north was due to the wiseness of the emperor and the people of the court.

The officials worked together to prepare money, grain, military equipment and other items. In the middle, they also mentioned the King of Xining's collection of grain and money. He said that thanks to the grain merchants in the north, this was a feat worthy of commendation. He also asked the court to convert the silver to the people at the market price.

The merchants could not be discouraged. At the end, they mentioned other merchants who clearly had food in stock but did not contribute any effort during the tense war, vaguely expressing their dissatisfaction.

The Holy Emperor immediately asked the chamberlain to read out the report at the court, and immediately ordered all ministries to prepare money and food, and reward the merchants who provided food. However, he did not mention a word of the accusations in Lu Junzhao's report.

Within two days, news suddenly spread in the capital, saying that the Feng family of Marquis Wenzhong's mansion had turned out to be in the grain business again, and had stored nearly 5,000 shi of grain near the capital, and had started harvesting it last year.

The censors who followed the censor station immediately sensed something unusual. They followed the rumors and successfully found several places where food was stored. After further inspection, they found out that they were really involved with the Feng family.

And there is indeed a lot of food in all places.

The Feng family, as descendants of Wenzhonghou Mansion, secretly stockpiled grain and ignored the military situation, which was suspected of treason. Several censors jointly made several accusations, and their words became more and more fierce, accusing the Feng family of betraying the country and seeking glory and having evil intentions.

!

When the two masters of the Feng family received the news, they sat dumbly on their chairs. They said "ah" for a long time, and ran to the emperor in tears to apologize.

But the Yushitai held on to the Feng family, and also brought up the story that the Feng family's descendants were unfilial, only knew how to have fun, and had beaten people to death. This led to a series of stories - the Feng family was full of crimes.

, no forgiveness!

Immediately afterwards, several military generals also wrote a letter to express their position, saying that the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the Feng family's failure to report the food was seriously affecting the military situation. Their crime was undeniable and must not be left unpunished.

The Holy Emperor had no choice but to issue an edict, angrily scolding the two heads of the Feng family. For the sake of old Marquis Wen Zhong, he temporarily spared the death of everyone in the Feng family, but only reduced the title of the Feng family as a warning. In the hands of the Feng family

The grain collected is returned to the household department, which sells it at a price, or returns the grain directly to the merchants.

After the imperial edict, everyone in the Feng family was stunned. For a while, they cried loudly and kept wailing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
