Summary of the previous chapter: On the second day of February, when the dragon raised its head, Ma Xiaoquan ignored the advice and went out unluckily... After returning home, the Lu family sent someone to invite Ma Xiaoquan, saying that they had something important to discuss...
Ma's house is not too far from Lu's house, only a quarter of an hour's walk away. However, considering the beautiful faces of Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue, especially Bei Mingxue, Ma Xiaoquan decided to take a sedan there.
The three of them sat in a sedan together and wandered to the gate of Lu's house.
Ma Xiaoquan got off the sedan and held the hands of the two girls from left to right.
"Qingxue, knock on the door."
Dongfang Qingxue nodded and gently knocked on the door twice.
The door opened, and the servant who opened the door was stunned when he saw Dongfang Qingxue.
Although Dongfang Qingxue's appearance is not as good as that of Li Qinghan and Bei Mingxue, she is still a stunning beauty. Furthermore, the special light fragrance exuding from her body is something that Li Qinghan and Bei Mingxue do not have.
"Girl, are you..." The servant of the Lu family did not notice Ma Xiaoquan and Bei Mingxue.
Dongfang Qingxue smiled and said: "Hello, little brother, the Chenggui family has invited me, and I am here with Ma Xiaoquan, the fourth young master of the Ma family. Please let me know."
"Oh, are you from the Ma family?" The servant of the Lu family nodded, "Please wait a moment, I will inform you."
"Good work!"
The door closed again, Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his thumb and praised: "Beauty is still more powerful. If the servant saw me for the first time, he would definitely not give me a good look..."
Bei Mingxue covered her mouth and chuckled: "Ma Xiaoquan, if I had known that sister Qingxue and I would knock on the door together, huh, that servant of the Lu family was speechless, huh, huh."
While the three of them were talking, the door of Lu's house opened.
Lu Zhan went out to greet him in person. When he saw Ma Xiaoquan leading two stunning beauties, he was stunned at first. However, Lu Zhan was a veteran in the city, so he quickly came to his senses and said, "Four Young Master Ma, haha..."
.”
Ma Xiaoquan returned the gift with his hand: "Master Lu, hello, hello..."
The two made eye contact, each with their own thoughts in mind. Lu Zhan made a gesture of invitation, Ma Xiaoquan nodded, and pulled Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue into Lu's house.
The three of them walked into the main hall of the Lu family. The tea had been served. Lu Zhan politely invited Ma Xiaoquan and the others to take a seat. Ma Xiaoquan handed over and thanked them.
After sitting down, Lu Zhan said: "Master Ma, I hope you will be more accommodating about the training ground project, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan knew what Lu Zhan meant, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, you are too polite. You and I are both officials of the Ming Dynasty, and we are both the person in charge of the training ground project. I hope Master Lu will be more accommodating to me...
..hehe......"
Lu Zhan said: "The brother-in-law of Master Shangshu..."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Oh, he has been sent back. Oh, tell me, tell me, if he hadn't violated our taboo, do you think I could arrest him like this? Besides, it's good that I was the one who caught him. If he was
If someone else catches me, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."
The corners of Lu Zhan's lips curled up, thinking that you, Ma Xiaoquan, are really good at talking.
"Oh, haha, that's it, that's it..."
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to take a sip of fragrant tea, and then said: "Master Lu, this matter of purchasing building materials should be started, right? All the money from the national treasury has been allocated. This can't be delayed any longer, right?"
Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "No hurry, no hurry, purchasing building materials is a matter of no hurry..."
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart, you are a corrupt official, you are occupying the pit and do nothing, and if the materials are not in place, the project will never start.
"Well, since that's the case, do we have to recruit workers first?"
Lu Zhan waved his hand again: "Recruitment is a matter of no urgency, no hurry, no hurry..."
"It's not urgent?" Ma Xiaoquan stood up, "The Emperor is getting married on April 20th. This matter is not urgent. When can we delay it?"
As soon as the words came out, Lu Zhan's face suddenly darkened. Ma Xiaoquan also realized his gaffe, sat down quickly, and took a long breath.
Lu Zhan chuckled, and suddenly said with a strange tone: "Fourth Young Master Ma, I have something to say, do you think I should say it or not?"
"Master Lu, it's okay to say so!"
"Haha, okay." Lu Zhan paused and said, "Ma Si Shao, you participated in the project of this training ground, but because of difficulties at home?"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and said nothing.
Lu Zhan continued: "If you are in trouble, my Lu family can help you, but... I hope Master Ma will not interfere too much in this training ground project."
Lu Zhan's words were very straightforward. He made it clear that you, Ma Xiaoquan, should not interfere in our business. Ma Xiaoquan cursed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he was smiling.
Bei Mingxue, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help it anymore and stood up and said, "Mr. Lu, are you speaking too harshly? Ma Xiaoquan is the supervisor appointed by the emperor. How can you just say that you don't care and just ignore it?"
Lu Zhan's face darkened and he shouted: "How dare you, a man, talk, why do you, a woman, get in the way? Ma Xiaoquan, do you care or not?"
"you!"
"Bei Mingxue!" Ma Xiaoquan's face also darkened, "Sit down."
Although Ma Xiaoquan's tone was light, it was very dignified. Bei Mingxue was stunned and sat back obediently.
Ma Xiaoquan raised his hand to Lu Zhan and said, "Master Lu, please forgive me. I don't go out often and I'm not sensible. I'm bringing her out today to see the world."
Lu Zhan waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Master Lu invited me here today mainly to explain the training ground project?"
Lu Zhan hummed: "That's right, Fourth Young Master Ma, to put it bluntly, you have made a lot of money from Master Shangshu, and you have made enough of what you should make. As the saying goes, those who understand the current affairs are heroes.
Also, I hope you will stop it in moderation and don't ruin everyone's financial path."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Master Lu, this is too alarmist. You and I are both officials of the Celestial Dynasty. I am dedicated to serving the country. Who would have thought that you are only thinking about making money? If the emperor finds out about this, Lu Zhan will
, do you have to walk around without food?"
"Ma Xiaoquan, you are a little fourth grader, what can you do to defeat me?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand, pulled Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue to stand up, and said with a smile: "Although I am fourth grade, I am a royal guard. Lu Zhan, if you don't want to be purged, you'd better lie down and lie down.
, if you stand too straight, your waist will bend. Say goodbye!"
"you!"
Walking out of the main hall, Lu Tian came face to face, as well as the eldest lady of the Zhang family beside Lu Tian.
I saw the eldest daughter of the Zhang family holding Lu Tian on her arm, looking like a little bird clinging to her.
When Lu Tian saw Ma Xiaoquan, his eyes immediately turned red.
"Ma Xiaoquan, why did you come to my house?"
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Lu Tian with disdain and said, "My defeated general talks a lot of nonsense. Ask Lu Zhan!"
