Chapter 133 Interception
Why are you asking this question again? It must have been spread by those old guys.
"Ah, I still want to focus on my studies." Zhao Yushu decided that no matter what you want to say, I will reject it first.
"Well, that's right. Let's wait until Mr. Zhao finishes his course and then decide on it in advance."
"Determine what?"
Miss Lu smiled and looked at Zhao Yushu: "I've always heard that Mr. Zhao is very sharp-tongued. I think he is also a smart man. Why are you pretending to be confused today? Well, since you don't pretend to understand, then I will point it out. I am shameless for once. I wonder if the position of the future head of the Lu family, as the number one grain merchant in Nanyang, is enough as a dowry?"
What are you talking about? !
Zhao Yushu almost jumped up, Ah Zhen, are you serious?
"No, Miss Lu, I'm just curious. What do you like about me?"
"If I look down on someone who is the disciple of the chief priest of Baima Academy, the guest of honor of the president of Nanyang Academy, and who can sit at the same table with Governor Lan and General Sun, wouldn't that be too ungrateful?"
Zhao Yushu blinked: "Shouldn't marriage, uh, have some love in it?"
Ms. Lu's smile faded: "It seems that this condition is not easy to negotiate. Why don't we talk about the second condition?"
Okay, okay, just stop targeting me.
No! I've been fooled! Zhao Yushu suddenly realized that there was no way they really wanted to talk about marriage with you. They just made a condition that you couldn't agree to, and then made you feel guilty, and then made other demands so that you were embarrassed to refuse.
Are you so good at psychology, Miss Lu? Aren't you afraid that I will really agree?
But if I really agree to it, I won't lose anything. Women have a very high status in this era. If I really get married, she will be the one to manage the household and the money. A second-generation merchant marrying a monk with a very high status is a perfect match.
I can't beat her. Zhao Yushu smiled bitterly and said, "Ms. Lu is really amazing. Well, please tell me your real conditions."
"My daughter's real condition is to get married. Haha, since Mr. Zhao has no such intention for the time being, I won't beat around the bush. I wonder if Mr. Zhao knows anything about the canal transportation?"
This touches on my blind spot in knowledge. I'll eat something to ease the embarrassment.
Seeing Zhao Yushu's expression, Miss Lu smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhao came from Dongdu, so he naturally knows that Dongdu's daily supply and the daily consumption of millions of people are more than 60% due to the Luoshui Canal Transport. Two years ago, my daughter went to Dongdu with her father. Standing on Yuema Bridge, watching the thousands of sails on the Luoshui River, I was deeply saddened! At that time, I secretly swore that one day, one of these fleets would definitely fly the flag of my Lu family!"
What a strong woman!
"I wonder what Miss Lu is like now..."
"I already have a fleet."
"congratulations!"
"But Dongdu, I can't get in."
Zhao Yushu frowned, realizing what Miss Lu was trying to do.
Zhao Yushu put down his chopsticks and said, "To be honest, my influence in Dongdu is not as great as Miss Lu thinks. It can even be said that I have no influence at all. If Miss Lu wants me to help open up connections in Dongdu, it's not that I don't want to, but I really don't have the ability to do so."
After hearing this, Miss Lu not only did not feel lonely at all, but her eyes even lit up: "It is enough for Mr. Zhao to say that he has more than enough."
"Ok?"
"I have no other requests. I just want Mr. Zhao to write a letter to express his gratitude to the Lu family for the refugees in Nanyang. As for the rest, I have my own way."
Mr. Zhao was changed to Mr. Zhao. He is trying to cause trouble in the name of my academy.
"Ms. Lu is a very kind person. I have to write a thank you letter no matter what, but it's just in my personal name."
Miss Lu didn't care: "Mr. Zhao, you always underestimate yourself. Your personal name is enough. There is no need to focus on the present. There are many century-old shops in Nanyang City. I am only 20 years old. Mr. Zhao's invitation is of little use now and does not represent the future. I will drink a cup first to thank Mr. Zhao for the invitation."
Miss Lu picked up the wine glass and drank it all, with smiles in her eyes.
Zhao Yushu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the woman in front of him. Such a huge investment was actually made in a small triple heaven. To be honest, even those who knew that he was the Sixth Master of Tianji Pavilion would probably not be willing to spend so much money.
After finishing the serious business, the two chatted about some small things. Seeing that it was about time, Zhao Yushu stood up and said goodbye, while Miss Lu sent a maid to ask A Yao to come out.
Miss Lu walked all the way to the door and bowed slightly, saying, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality today. When you leave Nanyang, I will invite three or five friends to give you a farewell party."
"Then thank you Miss Lu for your kindness."
"Mr. Zhao, the first condition, if you are interested, it can be considered."
After Miss Lu finished speaking, she smiled slightly, turned around and walked back to the garden, leaving A Yao looking at Zhao Yushu suspiciously: "What conditions made you blush so much, Brother Zhao?"
"None of your business, are you full?"
"I've never been so full in my life. Those pretty girls even chatted with me. If I hadn't taken your money, I wouldn't have wanted to leave."
"Then go back and knock on the door to see if they want to keep you."
The big and the small were burping and walking side by side on the street, bickering and joking casually. Zhao Yushu enjoyed this meal the most because the biggest problem in Nanyang had been solved and he could sleep well tonight.
Generally, the manors where wealthy people entertain guests are either outside the city or in quiet places in the city. They are definitely not located in downtown areas. In this era without street lights, quiet means sparsely populated and the entire street is extremely dark.
The few lanterns hanging in front of the manors were not enough to provide a clear view, but fortunately there was still a crescent moon tonight, and the bluestone street reflected the moonlight, giving a hazy and eerie feeling.
Zhao Yushu stopped and stretched out his hand to pull A Yao behind him, saying, "Find a small path and go back to the academy by yourself."
A Yao was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Yushu did not answer, but looked forward with a serious look. In the darkness that Ayao could not see, a man in white clothes slowly walked out.
Zhao Yushu waved his hands fiercely twice, and A Yao suddenly came to his senses. He ran back and quickly went into the darkness.
"There's no need to let him go. I won't embarrass a mortal child. And if he leaves, who will call a doctor for you later?"
Mr. Qin walked over with a calm voice, slowly untied the big sword behind him and placed it in front of him. He was very tall, about 1.9 meters, and the sword reached his chest after he put it down, comparable to a pistol.
"Mr. Qin doesn't have much patience. He can't wait even for a day."
"I didn't want to wait for a long time. I asked you at the academy and found out that you went to Lu's house. I had to look for you in several places before I caught you."
"From what you said, it seems that you don't intend to kill me, and you still give me a chance to call a doctor."
Mr. Qin smiled and said, "That's right. I won't kill you tonight. If you behave yourself, I'll give you an arm. If you don't behave yourself, I'll give you a leg."
Zhao Yushu couldn't help but applaud: "Mr. Qin is really a good person. He even gave me a choice. But why are you so sure that you can defeat me?"
Mr. Qin smiled without saying a word. He raised his sword slightly, and suddenly spiritual power came like a tidal wave.
