Tangxi is in a good mood today. The reason is naturally that Lu Yao has returned to the Lu Mansion and started to tell him to do things. During these ten days, Tangxi actually spent most of his time near the Bird's Nest Stadium in the outer city. He lived in the outer city and was run by Zhang Maocai.
That inn.
Because they had been warned before, the people in charge of factories and industries under Lu Yao did not dare to neglect them. After all, Lu Yao treated them well. No one wanted to have their own industry appear during Lu Yao's retreat or during the imperial examination.
What problem? It would be fine if it were placed on ordinary days, but at such a critical moment, there must be no problem. These people in charge understand this matter very well. If there are any business problems that occur to them on weekdays, Lu Yao will not be able to do anything about it.
Turning a blind eye is just a matter of words, but if something goes wrong at this time, it is easy for Lu Yao to think that he is deliberately causing trouble for him. The consequences of this can be said to be unimaginable, and the most serious
As a result, they may be directly removed from their posts.
Tang Xi, who has been a housekeeper for some time, has naturally understood this, so he focused his work entirely on the two unfinished buildings. The bank and the Bird's Nest Stadium are both very important to Lu Yao.
Important. Compared with the two, the Bird's Nest Stadium is naturally more important. This is of course because it is related to the competition held by the royal family, the New Cuju Competition. Moreover, Tangxi can also see that Lu Yao is very concerned about the Bird's Nest Stadium.
of.
This new Cuju competition may seem to outsiders to be more of Lu Yao's own preference, or that he wants to truly improve the physical fitness of the people. But Lu Yao's inner ambition is more than that. He actually wants to
Take this new Cuju competition as a cornerstone for your career.
So, while Lu Yao was in seclusion, Tangxi also made his own plan, which was to go to the outer city area and personally supervise the construction of the Bird's Nest Stadium. Later, during the three days of Lu Yao's imperial examination, Tangxi also kept paying attention
There are still two construction buildings in each factory. It must be said that these ten days were actually the ten most stressful days in Tangxi. Because in the past, no matter what I did, it was all under Lu Yao's orders.
, and when he has problems, Lu Yao will be there to take care of him. But in these ten days, Tangxi seems to have lost his backbone. Although he understands what he wants to do, he is also working hard to solve it.
Although she does well, Tangxi always feels that she is not confident enough.
Fortunately, ten days finally passed, and Lu Yao started to give instructions to himself again. Tangxi instantly felt that the pressure on him was much less. Even after Lu Yao returned, he assigned many tasks to Tangxi, but Tangxi
Now he seems to be very happy with it. He would rather do some such things than bear so much pressure.
At this time, Tangxi had already left the Lu Mansion and went to the printing factory to get two manuscripts about coaches. After that, he first went to the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che. However, it seemed that these two
It was more like waiting for him, and he did not make too many suggestions for the position of coach. Naturally, Tangxi also reacted. Su Shi and Su Zhe were the people who participated in the imperial examination for three days with Lu Yao.
Maybe during the exam, the two of them had already heard Lu Yao talk about this coach. It seemed that they didn't need to explain too much. They could just hand the things to them and leave.
But before leaving, Su Shi looked at what Tangxi handed them and said, "Is this something Lu Yao wrote in one night?"
Tangxi shook his head and said that he didn't know. After all, Tangxi had already gone to the outer city to supervise the work at that time. As for this manuscript, Tangxi only knew that Lu Yao asked him to hand it over to these two people. In fact, he himself was a little confused about the manuscript with so many words.
How did Mr. Lu finish the manuscript in one night? When Su Shi saw Tang Xi's expression, he probably really didn't know, so he didn't say anything else.
The next stop in Tangxi is of course Kaifeng Mansion. Speaking of the Bao Zheng trio, their days have not been very leisurely. In addition to their own work, Bao Zheng also has another task during this time.
That is, to help those poor students from other places who come to Beijing to take the exam. This is something Bao Zheng will do every time he takes the imperial examination.
Speaking of which, Bao Zheng became the Minister of Household Affairs today because of his support for Lu Xu. Every time Lu Xu mentioned this matter, he was full of gratitude to Bao Zheng. Although Bao Zheng is a bit old-fashioned, maybe
There are indeed some problems in communicating with him, but Bao Zheng did a good job in being selfless and caring for the people. A few days before the start of the imperial examination, Bao Zheng had been around Kaifeng Mansion, asking those who came to Beijing
He provides food and water to those who are rushing to take exams, and for those students who want to take a temporary rest, Bao Zheng will also use some of his connections to help them find accommodation in the outer city. As a man who is about to become a husband, this kind of thing
It is really rare to be able to do it personally.
Of course, in addition to assisting the candidates, the trio of Bao Zheng have also been reviewing the manuscript about referees that Lu Yao gave them before. The reason is very simple. Although Lu Yao is in retreat, but in this warm-up match
The news will definitely reach the ears of Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce. When these three people know the news about the warm-up match, they need to be the referee themselves, and the emperor will personally watch the match, what is their first reaction?
They were a little nervous, but soon, these three people accepted the status quo, and did not express any more dissatisfaction with Lu Yao, Han Yonghe, and Cao Yan's request for a warm-up match.
Bao Zheng's thinking has always been very clear. Before the official game begins, it is actually very necessary to conduct one or two warm-up matches. This is not only a warm-up match between two teams, leaders, and players, but also for
The commentators and referees are also a very good opportunity to practice. Otherwise, when the official game comes, the referees and commentators will inevitably make mistakes, and then they will be embarrassed.
However, although Bao Zheng agrees with the warm-up match, the fact that Emperor Zhao Zhen wants to watch the game in person still makes Bao Zheng feel a little nervous. Without the people watching, the emperor is watching the game alone on the sidelines.
I can already put my heart in my throat.
Therefore, Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, and Gongsun Ce naturally did not dare to neglect the warm-up match. They have been carefully reviewing their knowledge about referees in the past few days.
Today, facing the arrival of Tangxi, Tangxi immediately said that he had brought a manuscript about a position in the new Cuju competition. At that time, the trio of Bao Zheng suddenly felt their heads grow bigger, and Bao Zheng was heartbroken about Lu Yao.
He was complaining. The warm-up match was about to start in two days. Lu Yao had come up with something again. Can he read the more than 20 pages of the manuscript clearly in these two days?
Once the player understands things, by that time he will have almost forgotten all the referee things.
Perhaps sensing some dissatisfaction in Bao Zheng's heart, Tangxi quickly explained that it was the coach's stuff and that the three referees only needed to have a general understanding and did not need to master it in detail. After all, referees,
More attention is paid to the performance of the players on the court. As long as the coaches do not engage in excessive rhetoric, they basically have nothing to do with the referees. What's more, among these eight teams, there are currently two or three teams that are
The players directly play the role of coaches, so there is no need for Bao Zheng and the others to bother.
After listening to Tang Xi's explanation, Bao Zheng and the other three finally felt relieved and collected the things Tang Xi gave them.
He didn't stay much longer in Tangxi and left immediately. Then he was going to the market to buy some things.
Back to the Lu Mansion, in the morning, the first people to arrive at the restaurant were Lu Yao's eldest brother Lu Hao and his sister-in-law Xu.
When Lu Yao came back last night, Lu Hao and Xu didn't actually know about it. Considering that Xu was pregnant, Lu Xu didn't bother them at night, so he didn't tell Lu Hao about Lu Yao's early return.
.
The two of them heard something moving in the kitchen when they got up this morning, and then heard that Lu Yao had returned to the house. Speaking of emotions, Mrs. Xu was even happier than Lu Hao for Lu Yao's return. In the past ten days,
, Mrs. Xu has used her own ability to prove that she is indeed a master of financial management and has a very good business acumen. Therefore, Mrs. Xu has been recognized by Mrs. Yan. From then on, Mrs. Xu will be in charge of the Lu family's money.
Of course, the Lu family's money is nothing compared to the money of Lu Yao Bank. What makes Xu even more happy is that when her child is born, in addition to taking care of the baby every day, she also
There are other things to do, such as helping Lu Yao manage the bank and really doing something for the Lu family. Therefore, Xu's gratitude to Lu Yao naturally goes without saying.
Lu Yao looked at the two of them. After they both sat down, Lu Yao said, "I'm going to give birth in more than a month."
Lu Hao nodded and said, "Well, she has been vomiting a lot these days. She went to bed very early yesterday. We just found out about your return this morning."
"It doesn't matter." Hearing his eldest brother apologize to him so politely, Lu Yao felt a little embarrassed. "How about it, sister-in-law, I have been in charge of the finance of the house these days, and I heard that I have made quite a lot of achievements."
Xu smiled and said: "Of course my abilities are not as good as yours, Lu Yao. I just try my best to do my own thing."
"Well, that's good. When the bank is built, I will take you to the bank to have a look and tell you some basic things." Lu Yao said.
Speaking of the bank, Lu Hao suddenly remembered something and said: "There will definitely be a lot of money stored in this bank. You must take good care of it. The person responsible for guarding the bank must be a trustworthy person. In addition to the guards, there will be
Those who are doing things must also be investigated clearly."
Lu Yao nodded and said: "Brother is right. The most important thing in a bank is money. I have already made arrangements for this. I plan to ask the brothers in Tangxi, the bodyguards who followed me before, to directly
Send them to the bank to protect the money."
When Lu Hao heard this, he said: "Well, if you are a friend of Tangxi, you should be a trustworthy person. There is no need to worry about the safety of your money." At this point, Lu Hao looked at Xu next to him and continued: "It's just your sister-in-law.
After all, she is a woman. Although she is really good at business and financial management, if she is allowed to be responsible for all the affairs of this bank, I think it might be..."
Of course Lu Yao knew what Lu Hao was worried about. His sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, was about to give birth. Even after giving birth, she still needed some time to recuperate. During this period, it was still impossible to be completely familiar with the business of the bank. And in modern terms,
After being pregnant for three years, it was obvious that Lu Hao was now worried that Mrs. Xu would not be able to support the bank's future by herself.
So, Lu Yao waved his hand and said: "Brother, don't worry about me. As for the bank, in addition to my sister-in-law, I have several other people who will help take care of it when the time comes. However, my sister-in-law has the most say in it.
"
Although Lu Yao said this, there is only one person around him who can be used now, and that is Zhang Mou. This person is a good friend of Tangxi, and is now responsible for managing the construction of the bank. Originally, Lu Yao planned to bring Zhang Mou with him.
However, later Lu Yao met Chen Chen and he found that Chen Chen was more suitable to be a housekeeper than Zhang Mou in terms of handling things and personality, so Lu Yao now plans to let Zhang Mou be directly responsible for the bank.
It should be a good choice to assist the Xu family in this matter. In this way, there will be an explanation for Tangxi.
Hearing what Lu Yao said, Lu Hao finally felt relieved. At this time, Lu Xu and Yan Shi also came to the restaurant. When they heard that today's breakfast was made by Lu Yao, even Lu Xu was a little surprised. After all,
It is already very difficult for this kid to get up at this time.
Since Lu Yao went into seclusion and ended the imperial examination, the family has not sat together to have a meal quietly for a long time. Today, everything can finally come to an end. Several members of the Lu family sat together and had breakfast.
After dinner, Lu Xu and Lu Hao went to the morning court. Before leaving, Lu Xu looked at Lu Yao and asked Lu Yao if there was anything he wanted to pay attention to.
Lu Yao directly stated that he hoped that Lu Xu would tell his friends Chen Chen, Pan Wen, and Zhe Kexing not to forget to come to his home as guests tonight.
When Lu Xu heard this, he smiled rarely. Yes, Lu Yao had just gone through a very strict imperial examination. Even if he has important things to do later, he should rest for the past two days.
.
Lu Xu was about to go out, but Lu Yao suddenly remembered something and stopped him.
"After the morning court, please tell Mr. Han and Han Wenyuan that I will visit them at Han's house soon. I hope they will go home after the court."
The reason why Lu Yao said this was because he was worried that after the next court, Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan would go to the training ground to watch the training. If these two people were not at home and Lu Yao went directly to the Han Mansion, he might not be able to see Han Yunyu, so
Only then did I remember to tell Lu Xu.
When Lu Xu heard this, he said, "Do you have something to tell him?"
Lu Yao nodded. Lu Xu continued: "If you have anything, I can convey it to you, or I can accompany you to Han Mansion after the court."
"I can only speak for myself about this matter. It's related to the rough sleep competition. I have something I want to ask Uncle Han." When Lu Yao said this, Lu Xu naturally understood in his heart. It seems that Lu Yao is here today.
He wanted to go to Han Mansion to talk about something important, so he agreed.
A while after Lu Xu left, he came back from Tangxi. He had already visited Su Shi and Su Che's residence, as well as Kaifeng Mansion. On the way back, he bought some gifts, which he would take to Han later.
Went home.
Of course, Lu Yao was not idle either. He knew in his heart that even if he brought so many things, it might not be easy to see Han Yunyu, so he had to make sour plum soup and braised pork
I'd better take the meat with me when the time comes.
After a lot of work, after Lu Xu and Lu Hao returned home, Lu Yao immediately found his father. Lu Xu said that he had told Han Yonghe what he had said.
"Han Wenyuan went to the training ground to watch the training today and was not at home, but I think Han Yonghe should have returned to home by this time."
Lu Yao nodded and asked again: "By the way, father, when you told him that I had something to discuss with him, what was Uncle Han's reaction?"
When Lu Xu heard this, he thought for a while and said, "No special reaction, but based on my understanding of Han Yonghe over the years, he does have something on his mind, or he has already thought that you are looking for him."
"Well, that's it." Lu Yao said thoughtfully.
"I think the matter of changing team members before is pretty much settled. Anyway, you have to remember that our family has already entered into an engagement with the Han family, so you'd better be careful when talking to him." Lu Lu
Xu warned Lu Yao.
"Don't worry, father, I know what's going on." Lu Yao responded, then called Tangxi over to pack his things and get ready to go out.
Speaking of which, this was Lu Yao's first time going out since seclusion until the end of the imperial examination. Lu Yao himself felt a little uncomfortable. If it had been before, he would probably still be reading in his room now.
Because he brought a lot of things, Lu Yao did not choose to walk this time, but took a carriage. Because Tangxi's status has been improved, now when he comes out with Lu Yao, he can sit in the car with Lu Yao.
, and the groom driving the car was naturally replaced by another servant.
"These past few days..." Lu Yao was sitting in the car. He just wanted to ask Tangxi if anyone from the Han family had come to inquire about his situation when he was in seclusion. Later, he thought that Tangxi had also been out of town in the past few days. Naturally,
I don't know anything anymore.
Lu Yao's voice was relatively low, so Tangxi didn't hear him clearly. On the contrary, after a while, Tangxi took the initiative and said, "Sir, what are we going to do at the Han Mansion today?"
Lu Yao said calmly: "The significance of my visit to Han Mansion this time is completely different from the previous ones. It is mainly for two things. One is the replacement of the Han family's team."
Tangxi did not know about this matter. At that time, he had already visited the Cao Mansion and the Han Mansion and went to the outer city. For this, he was scolded by Cao Yi in the Cao Mansion. Later, Tangxi heard
Others talked about the substitutions of Wenyuan team.
"Speaking of this, they did go a bit too far. However, Master Han is about to become your father-in-law, so I think it's better to be careful when speaking."
When Lu Yao heard this, he smiled and said, "When will it be my turn for you to tell me how to talk to him? Han Yonghe, I still know the appropriateness of talking to him."
Tangxi realized that he had made a mistake, so he lowered his head.
Lu Yao continued: "The second reason is to meet Han Yunyu."
Tangxi raised his head and said: "Well, speaking of it, the young master has indeed not seen Han Yunyu for a while. He has not seen the Miss Han family before due to seclusion and the imperial examination. I wonder if the young master has written this time
A new chapter of "The Story of the Stone" for Miss Han?"
Lu Yao shook his head and said, "I just want to see how she would react without me. Only in this way can we test her mind."
Han Mansion.
Han Yonghe left the morning court and originally wanted to go to the training ground to watch the game, but Lu Xu stopped him on the way, saying that Lu Yao's imperial examination was over and he would visit him at home soon. Han Yonghe had mixed feelings in his heart.
He knew what Lu Yao wanted to say to himself this time. In this regard, Lu Xu said that he did not know, but Lu Xu still told Han Yonghe that in fact, Lu Yao still had some concerns about the substitution of Wenyuan team.
I'm not happy, so I came here more for this matter.
Since people are coming to see him, he must not miss it. After all, the end of Lu Yao's imperial examination is a big event, and he has not seen Lu Yao for nearly half a month. So Han Yonghe asked his son Han Wenyuan to go first.
When he went to the training ground, he immediately returned home. He first ordered his servants to go to Fanlou to order some good wine and food. On his side, after changing his clothes, he sat in the main hall, waiting for Lu Yao's arrival.
arrival.
Although Han Yonghe is now a minister, he is actually unsure about Lu Yao's arrival. Before, no matter what kind of response Lu Yao made to his change of team members, he never met him.
This time, if Lu Yao really came to accuse him as the organizer of the new Cuju competition, how would he answer? Put all the blame on Han Wenyuan? He definitely couldn't do it.
It seems that we have to think of some other ways to comfort Lu Yao.
