Chapter 252: King Lin’s Family Offers Incense Together
As the weather gets hotter and hotter, although watermelon is a relatively expensive fruit, the most important thing in the capital is rich and powerful people, so the demand for watermelon has always been high.
Among them, the specialty watermelons of Mu Yue Trading Company are the most popular. Although the watermelons sold by Mu Yue Trading Company this year are several times that of last year, the supply is still in short supply. The big families in the capital, with their means and status,
Ordinary watermelons are no longer their goal.
Therefore, Lu Mingtao became the target of the stewards sent by these families.
"Fourth Master, you are really having a good time these days." Lu Mingtao came to Mu Qiyue's new home and said in a slightly sour tone.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master," Mu Qiyue smiled slightly, "I have specially prepared some good wine for you to thank you for your hard work." Mu Qiyue picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Lu Mingtao himself.
"It's an honor to trouble Fourth Master." Although Lu Mingtao said this, his eyes were still looking at Mu Qiyue warily. Showing courtesy for nothing was not a good sign.
"This is the wine we just brought from Wangcun. Aren't you going to drink it?" Seeing Lu Mingtao's caution, Mu Qiyue said the reason why he couldn't refuse.
"Okay, let me try it for you to see if the taste of this wine has changed." Lu Mingtao pretended to be reluctant, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp. "Well, not bad, it still tastes the same."
"But, Fourth Master, what are your orders?" In order to prevent himself from being too passive, Lu Mingtao asked first.
"The wine problem is solved." Mu Qiyue didn't give in.
"Really?" Lu Mingtao was a little surprised, "So Miss Lin agreed to sell the wine to Muyue Trading Company?!" This is really good news.
"Well, you should find an opportunity to go to Wangcun." Mu Qiyue said.
"Fourth Master, why don't you come over?" Lu Mingtao asked.
"It won't pass for a while. It will be difficult to explain to Princess Changmin if she disappears again." Mu Qiyue had a headache. This princess seemed to be taking over the responsibilities of his parents. He had been trying desperately to introduce him to him in the past few days since he came back.
The woman, if he hadn't been quick to see the opportunity, might have been arranged by her to go on a blind date.
Mu Qiyue's head was a little big when he thought that the emperor's aunt would arrange a garden party for a bunch of famous ladies. Not to mention that his reputation in the capital was already notorious, even before.
How many women will favor him? Looking at each other is just a formality and has no practical effect.
Besides, Mu Qiyue has no thoughts of starting a family yet. Thinking of starting a family, Mu Qiyue suddenly thought of Lin Zhu and felt that she could earn such a family fortune at such a young age, and she would definitely be extraordinary in the future. I wonder which lucky person would take her.
Marry him back home? Mu Qiyue thought a little bitterly.
"Fourth Master? Fourth Master?" Mu Qiyue suddenly fell into a daze. Lu Mingtao was a little confused and called out twice, hoping to bring him back to his senses.
"What's the matter?" Mu Qiyue's voice was a little stiff after being interrupted from thinking.
"Uh, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest?" Lu Mingtao felt that his face was not very good, and he thought he was feeling unwell.
"No need." Mu Qiyue regretted his distraction just now, "I took back two jars this time. You can take one jar with you when you leave."
This was equivalent to an order to exclude guests, but Lu Mingtao liked this kind of order to exclude guests. He happily accepted the order and went out.
However, before he walked out of the door, he remembered something and came back, "Fourth Master, Mr. Wang from the Hanlin Academy wants to buy more special watermelons, but the current share is really limited."
"Oh, Mr. Wang has never been so public, do you know why?" Mu Qiyue looked at Lu Mingtao and took a sip of tea.
"I heard that his little daughter has returned from Jiangnan." Lu Mingtao is very knowledgeable about gossip.
"Master Wang's granddaughter Wang Qingyan has a good relationship with Miss Lin. Isn't there any movement from her?" Mu Qiyue knew very well about Lin Zhu entertaining Wang Qingyan.
"No. Miss Wang seems to have never mentioned this matter." Lu Mingtao also felt a little strange. According to Lin Zhu's personality, people close to her should take more care of her. Why is this exception made?
"Then give Mr. Wang a hundred more watermelons." Mu Qiyue was very happy for the decision he made this time after many years.
"Yes." Lu Mingtao got the approval and then left Mu Qiyue's home.
"Sir, the chief executive of Muyue Trading Company has sent someone to deliver watermelons." The excited voice of the housekeeper came from outside the study door.
"Okay, okay, send them in immediately." Mr. Wang opened the door, with a happy expression on his face. "I thought it would never happen, but I didn't expect that Mr. Lu would give the Wang family face like this."
"Butler, go and tell Madam." Mr. Wang ordered.
"Yes." Although Mrs. Wang must have been notified by someone, the housekeeper still responded. "Sir, the person who came just now said that twenty of them were selected and sent over. The others will have to wait for a few days, saying that they were just picked off.
The fresher it will be, the better it tastes.”
"Haha, Mr. Lu is really good at doing things. I must thank them very much." Mr. Wang smiled. His youngest daughter will not arrive for a few days. It seems that Muyue Trading Company has done enough homework in doing this.
"Yes." The housekeeper responded and went out.
"Grandma, this is really great." Wang Qingyan sat next to Mrs. Wang. They also got the news and knew that there would be no shortage of special watermelons this year.
"Yes." Mrs. Wang took Wang Qingyan's hand and said with a smile. "This year is really good luck. Yan'er's face has healed and Yurou is coming back. Now I can get more special watermelons."
, our family will definitely have good things happen this year."
"Isn't that right!" Mrs. Wan also said with a smile. Ever since she saw the changes on Wang Qingyan's face with her own eyes, she has been grinning from ear to ear. The skin on her daughter's face is not only better, but also better than before. If her daughter wants to go to Beijing
When she appears in everyone's circle of young ladies, it will definitely cause shock.
Huh, it's strange that those who have laughed at their own daughters must be shocked now.
"It will be the fifteenth day in three days. Are you all ready?" Mrs. Wang asked about Wan's wish to go to the temple.
"Everything is ready. My aunt has also informed me and she has agreed to go along." Wanshi replied respectfully.
"That's good," Mrs. Wang nodded.
"Grandma, mother, I would like to invite Sister Zhu to go with me, can you?" Wang Qingyan saw that they were very happy and took the opportunity to say.
Wan was very grateful to Lin Zhu. After hearing her daughter's request, she wanted to agree immediately. Then she could apologize for her previous rudeness, but she also thought that her mother-in-law might not be too willing, so she was careful.
He glanced at Mrs. Wang.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wang's face was not as happy as before, but it was not gloomy. The scene was a little quiet for a while.
"Okay, let you write the post." Although Mrs. Wang agreed, there are still particularities about who should write the post. Let Wang Qingyan write it by herself, which means that inviting Lin Zhu in her name is only among the youngest daughters.
The friendship between them. If Wan wrote it, the nature would be different. It would mean that the Wang family recognized Lin Zhu.
However, Wang Qingyan didn't quite understand the twists and turns here, so she went to write the post happily.
"When the time comes, please pay attention. If that girl wants to take the opportunity to rely on our Wang family, there is no need to have too much involvement with her in the future." Mrs. Wang still doesn't want to see Lin Zhu.
"Yes." Although Mrs. Wan agreed with her mouth, she disagreed with her mother-in-law's words in her heart. She didn't think Lin Zhu would want to take the opportunity to climb into the Wang family, otherwise she wouldn't have contradicted Mrs. Wang last time. And her daughter came back.
After that, everyone kept talking about how kind this girl Lin was to her and Zhang Manyun.
Even though her daughter is not familiar with the world, Zhang Manyun is smart and has a good eye for people. A person who even she recognizes must have good character. Besides, she still has the face of her in-laws, Dr. Zhang.
No matter what, you must treat Lin Zhu kindly.
Wan made up her mind secretly, so she specially prepared some gifts to give to Lin Zhu when the time came.
While the Wan family and others were preparing to offer incense to the fifteen temples, the Lin family was also preparing. However, compared to the simple Wang family, the Lin family was large in number.
Mrs. Lin thought that before the weather got hotter, she would go to the temple to offer incense and worship Buddha, so that everyone at home could relax.
So not only the fourth room of the Lin family, but also Mrs. Lin and Dong Yuzhen, mother and daughter, were called. This time, the master alone had no less than fifteen people, not to mention the servants who followed him, a mighty fifty or sixty people.
We will march to the temple together.
Dong Yuzhen also sent an invitation to Lin Zhu, but she could not arrange for Lin Zhu to come into her home and could only make an appointment to meet at the temple.
Wang Qingyan directly invited Lin Zhu to come to her home first, and then go to the temple together.
Lin Zhu connected to the posts one after another. After reading them, she did not agree to Wang Qingyan's request. Firstly, it would waste a lot of time if she met the Wang family. Secondly, she did not want to go directly to the Wang family now.
She felt that her relationship with the Wang family was not as good as this yet. If she entered the Wang family again, it would be somewhat awkward to have contact with Wang Qingyan's elders. It would be better to meet in the temple, so that she could have more freedom.
However, she couldn't take Fu Dou'er with her when she went out to play. There were too many people in the temple, and it was really not safe for him. After comforting him for a long time and agreeing to many conditions, Fu Dou'er was stabilized.
After Lin Zhu was ready, he set off to his house in the capital first. Because the temple is in the west of the capital, starting from here is much closer than starting from Wangcun. In order to get to the temple early, Lin Zhu decided to
You have to get up early.
Wang Qingyan received Lin Zhu's reply. Although she was a little disappointed, it was reasonable.
"Mom, Sister Zhu will meet us at the temple." Wang Qingyan came to Wan's room.
"Well, Miss Lin is really very smart." Wan couldn't help but sigh. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
