Before he finished his work, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Who is coming here at this time?
Zhu'er went to open the door and was slightly surprised to see the people outside, "Master, Grandpa Xiao, why are you here?"
Logically speaking, they should call Lu Liang the eldest young master, but because Lu Liang and Lu Fang's father are no longer here, and Lu Liang is the county magistrate, they always address him as master.
Lu Liang and Lao Xiao walked into the house and saw Lu Fang and Chen Youxi still busy inside. They smiled and said, "You haven't rested yet?"
This is the first time he has been here since the store opened.
Lu Fang put down the cargo list in his hand and said, "Why are you here at this time?"
Lu Liang nodded to Chen Youxi and then said to Lu Fang: "I came to talk to you."
"Go to the backyard!"
Lu Fang said.
Then he took Lu Liang and Lao Xiao to the back.
Zhu'er was busy making tea.
Lu Fang said: "There is no need to make Grandpa Xiao's tea."
Then he smiled and said to Lao Xiao: "I have a new wine here. It's not as good as the previous wine, but it should taste pretty good. Master, would you like to try it?"
Lao Xiao nodded, "Okay."
Lu Fang walked back to his room.
When he came out again, he was carrying a jar of Niulanshan in his hand.
He is not unfamiliar with wine, but he is definitely not proficient in it. Furthermore, he does not understand the tastes of people of this era.
How this Niulan Mountain is like, I have to let Lao Xiao taste it before he knows.
Putting the wine in front of Lao Xiao, Lao Xiao directly opened the mud seal and went to the mouth of the jar to smell it. "It's a little spicy, not as mellow as that wine."
"Um."
Lu Fang smiled and said: "Master is not only a martial arts master, but also a very powerful wine taster!"
Lao Xiao glanced at him lightly and said, "You are so attentive to me for nothing, and you are so flattering. You don't want to trouble me with anything, do you?"
"Look what you said."
Lu Fang said: "Isn't it right to be filial to your master?"
He really doesn't have anything to ask of Lao Xiao now.
Lu Liang just smiled beside him.
Seeing that Lao Xiao stopped talking, he said to Lu Fang: "You should be more careful recently, someone may come to trouble you."
Lu Fang was slightly stunned, "Looking for trouble with me? You mean Liu Mao?"
Lu Liang shook his head, "Then Liu Mao is also a county magistrate after all, and he knows that Master Yu has accepted you as a student, so he should not come to trouble you again. I am talking about his son Liu Huafeng. These father and son
I've only been in Ningyuan County for a few days and I haven't stopped yet."
Lu Fang said: "Why don't you stop?"
Lu Liang chuckled, "Liu Mao has been in frequent contact with the gentry in the county these days, saying that he will be the county magistrate of Ningyuan in the future, and they are trying to win over him. Liu Huafeng is also very close to scholars of similar age in the county. He
He was born in Juren, and now there are many scholars in the county who follow his lead. Maybe he won't do anything to you, but he will probably embarrass you. Behind them stands Pan Kui, always trying to show off.
It’s for Pan Kui to see.”
Lu Fang couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this, "How do you know?"
No wonder Zhao Xiuyun and other scholars have not come to see him in the past two days. They turned out to be hanging out with Liu Huafeng.
Lu Liang said: "The king also told me."
Lu Fang was a little confused, "The king also told you this? He is not afraid of offending Liu Mao?"
"How could Liu Mao know?"
Lu Liang said: "It's thanks to you that Wang is willing to tell me this, probably because you will have a great future in the future. But recently, the Wang family and the Xu family probably won't get too close to us.
, businessmen pursue profit, and they are most likely to play both sides. During the period when we are wrestling with Liu Mao, they will probably sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."
Lu Fang nodded and pondered.
Liu Mao said that he would be the county magistrate of Ningyuan in the future. Why?
Just because Pan Kui is covering you from behind?
Or is it because of He Zhengci’s incident?
He frowned slightly, "How's the matter with He Zhengci? Are we just putting it off until your annual review?"
"Ah."
Lu Liang said: "They probably hold this idea in mind. If the He Zhengci matter is not resolved until the end of the year, Pan Kui will definitely find a way to ask the superiors to transfer me away from Ningyuan County, or even directly dismiss me.
I asked the state government office several times to hand this case over to the watchmen, but it was suppressed all the time."
"That's really troublesome." Lu Fang said.
"yes……"
Lu Liang sighed softly, "But let's wait and see. If I'm still suppressed after a while, I'll have to rely on you."
Lu Fang pointed to his nose, "Rely on me?"
Is your status so high now?
Lu Liang said: "Who told you to have a stronger background than me now? Master Yu is your teacher, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has contacts with you. When the time comes and you are selected as a scholar, if you are promoted to a scholar, I will ask you to come forward. Maybe my words will be much more effective than mine."
.”
Lu Fang rubbed his hands, "When you say that, it really puts me under a bit of pressure. It looks like I have to be a candidate."
Lu Liang chuckled, "You should be a little stressed, lest you become as confused as before."
Lu Fangzhi curled his lips, "A good man won't mention his former bravery, so don't keep talking about the bad things I did in the past."
Hearing this, Lu Liang burst into laughter.
Lu Fang looked at Lao Xiao, who had been drinking next to him, and asked, "Master, how does this wine sound?"
Lao Xiao nodded, smacked his lips and said, "The taste is not as good as the previous wine, but it's pretty good. Such a fine wine is hard to find in Dayu."
Lu Fang was completely relieved.
It seems that Niulan Mountain may really bring him a fortune.
Lao Xiao rarely asked him, "Have you not fallen behind in your cultivation in the past few days?"
"No."
Lu Fang said: "Yesterday, I opened the Meridian Channel. Please give me two months. I think I can enter the ninth level in half a month at most, hehe."
Hearing this, even Lao Xiao was a little surprised, "So fast?"
Lu Fang chuckled and said: "And I also went to Tanzhou City to buy a marrow-cleansing pill. Just wait and see. My cultivation will only grow faster and faster in the future."
Lao Xiao and Lu Liang looked at each other, and a strange light flashed deep in their eyes.
Lu Fang's progress in martial arts was indeed far beyond their expectations.
It took less than two months to reach the ninth level. How high will Lu Fang's martial arts cultivation be in a few years?
Then Lao Xiao said: "If you have money and connections, you might as well improve your basic skills. Your basic skills...are indeed too bad."
Lu Fang didn't accept this comment.
I'm weak, but I'm not proud!
Later, when Lu Liang and Lao Xiao left, Lu Fang went back to the room and brought out three jars of Niulanshan and asked them to bring them to Lao Deng and the others.
Lao Xiao didn't say anything, but asked Lu Fang to go to the county government office more often to deliver wine when he had nothing to do.
Lu Fang agreed wholeheartedly.
The exchange point in Niulanshan is only 1,500 points, so he can really manage enough for Lao Xiao and the others.
