Chapter 381 Don't Worry About What You Shouldn't Worry About
The two walked one after the other, and no one spoke until they arrived at Pei Yu's temporary residence.
There was a set of stone tables and chairs in his yard, on which hot tea and snacks were prepared. Tianqing was standing guard nearby. When he saw the two people coming, he poured them a cup of tea and then left.
Pei Yu picked up the teacup and took a few sips before speaking: "Master Lu, you can try it. This is this year's Longjing before the rain. His Majesty doesn't like to drink tea, but knowing that I like this, he gave most of it to me."
"it is good."
Lu Jing picked up the porcelain cup on the stone table and slowly tasted the tea in it. After finishing the cup, he nodded and said affirmatively: "It is indeed this year's Longjing. I am honored to have a cup here with you, Your Majesty."
Although their family is wealthy, tea like Yutian Longjing, which is exclusively supplied to the royal family, is hard to buy even with a lot of money.
Pei Yu didn't say anything. Lu Jing waited for a cup of tea. Knowing that he wouldn't bring it up on his own initiative, he put down the cup.
"I wonder what the prince wants to talk about when he asked me to come here?"
Pei Yu poured him a cup of tea, with mist still floating above the cup.
"Pei asked Master Lu to come here to discuss the potatoes and corn. Ah Li mentioned in the letter that you want priority use and management rights. Tell me about it."
Talking about business, Lu Jing's expression became more serious. "In the future, when potatoes and corn are popularized, I want to be the first businessman to grow them, except for the poor families. When they are sold in the future, I must also have the qualifications to do business with them."
"These two are trivial matters. There is nothing to lose by agreeing to you. This is probably not your purpose. Just say it straight."
Lu Jing's eyes flashed, and then he said firmly: "That's all, Lu has only these two requests."
Pei Yu raised his eyes, stared at him for two breaths, then shifted his gaze and said in a calm voice: "Okay, I can promise you these. In addition, you contributed these foods. After I confirm that the output is really as Ah Li said, you will go to the capital with me to participate in the Wanshou Festival. You will not be left out of the credit."
Lu Jing stood up and bowed to Pei Yu, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Pei Yu looked at the top of his head and said, "I will not give you less than what I deserve, but you should not worry about what you shouldn't worry about. Do you understand?"
A helpless smile appeared on Lu Jing's lips. Perhaps the last sentence was the purpose of King Jingnan? It seems that I really need to keep my distance from Ah Li in the future.
"The grassroots understand."
He has already said this much. If you still don’t understand, then you are being tactless.
He is just a businessman, so what if he has too much money? For someone as powerful and influential as the King of Jingnan, he doesn't need to do anything himself to deal with people. As long as he says a word, countless people will try their best to achieve it for him.
"Get up, it will be bad if Ali sees you."
"Yes."
Lu Jing stood up, brushed off the dust on his clothes, smoothed out the wrinkles with his hands, and then sat down.
What happened today must be kept secret and not told to A-Li, otherwise Pei Yu might make things difficult for the Lu family.
Perhaps the King of Jingnan was not so stingy before, but when it comes to Shen Li, he will become petty.
The two of them sat in the yard for another quarter of an hour. Thinking that Ah Li was about to finish her chat, Pei Yu stood up and walked towards the reception room.
"See you, Your Majesty."
As soon as he walked into the side hall, he saw the Su brothers and sisters bowing to him. In addition to the Shen family, there were Lu Nian and Shen Xiaoya in the room. The two of them were very conflicted. Should they bow or not?
Pei Yu walked over to Shen Li and sat down. "No need to be polite, both of you. Please stand up. I hope you won't tell anyone else about my presence here."
"Yes."
The Su siblings stayed for a while and were about to leave. In the carriage, Su Zhihui was a little depressed. Su Heng understood her thoughts, but King Jingnan was there, and he couldn't let his younger sister do whatever she wanted.
"Ah Hui, do you really like Shen Qi'an?"
"Brother, haven't you asked this many times?"
Su Zhihui felt a little depressed. She only saw Shen Qian'an today and didn't say anything to him. She found herself becoming more and more greedy.
Su Heng became serious, "I want you to tell me now whether it is true or not?"
"Yes."
Seeing how serious he was, Su Zhihui sat up straight and wanted to know why her brother asked that.
"After I go back, I will tell my parents about you and him. You should be mentally prepared."
"Big brother!"
"Ah Hui, the Shen family is not bad now. If your parents agree, then you have a chance. If your parents don't agree, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."
Su Zhihui's heart was in turmoil because of what he said, and her head was full of messy thoughts.
He responded quietly, "I know, big brother."
In the evening, the Lu family was very lively. Shen Erhe's family, Shen Zhenyuan's family, the Xu family mother and son, Doctor Liu's family, and the Lin family were all there.
Pei Yu only showed up once and never showed up again. Shen Changsheng and Lin Cuicui entertained these people.
They were not told about Pei Yu's identity and Shen Jingyuan. They only knew that the person Shen Li was engaged to was the young man who had fled the famine with her.
He didn't even mention the fact that Shen Qian'an was going to study at the Imperial College in Beijing.
The Lu brothers and sisters were also among them. After all, everyone knew each other and there was nothing to avoid.
In Shen Li's yard, she and Pei Yu were grilling meat around a stove. Of course, Pei Yu was grilling and Shen Li was eating.
There were several cups of wine and wine glasses on the table. Shen Li's face was slightly red, which looked even redder against the setting sun. She was not drunk, but her face was a little flushed.
"Ali, the beef is ready."
In the morning, someone sent over beef brisket, and later someone went to buy some beef. Shen Li likes beef, but beef is very rare, so the two of them grilled meat here tonight.
I ate until the moon was high in the air and the evening breeze felt cool on my body, then I went to the study.
In the study, Pei Yu was making tea. He had just drunk some wine and now he wanted to drink some tea to wake himself up.
"Ayu, how did your discussion with Lu Jing go?"
I could notice the address in his words and the corners of my mouth curled up slightly, but I didn't ask any further questions. Perhaps this was the tacit understanding that belonged only to the two of them.
"It's already been discussed. He didn't suffer any loss."
Shen Li paused while drinking her tea and glanced at him, "How do you know I was asking if he suffered any loss? I can't be asking you?"
Pei Yu sat beside her and hugged her slender waist, "Well, Ah Li is right, I was wrong, I should be punished."
He put the teacup down and reached out to push his head. He had drunk quite a bit of wine just now, and when he got close to him, he could smell a faint smell of alcohol.
It didn't smell bad, but she was also a little tipsy, and the smell of alcohol on him made her feel a little intoxicated. But this man seemed unaware and kept getting closer and closer.
In the end, no one knew who took the initiative first, as the two of them got angry immediately after drinking.
