Li Wangjiang was tangled. He suddenly felt that Li Yuanshu didn't do anything wrong. The matter involved so much that he couldn't just listen to the boy's words. It's not that he doesn't trust his son, but that the matter is too important.
"Where is the noble man you said?"
Li Yuan Shu immediately said, "I met him at Xue's restaurant at noon. After arranging things in the afternoon, I went to the restaurant once and knew that he lived in Xue's Inn."
In Xuecheng, the Xu, Li and Lu families are the top gentry and local tyrants. The Xue family and the Wang family are the second-class gentry family. The Xue family is mainly engaged in catering, Inn and other industries.
In Xuecheng, if you want to eat the best delicious food and live in the most upscale Inn, it is basically a choice for the Xue family.
Li Wangjiang said, "I'll meet brother Lu for a while."
Knowing that the noble one lives in Xue's Inn, he doesn't dare to visit. He'd better go to Lu Guoxing's house first and ask the boy about the situation. Of course, for a family owner like Li Wangjiang, brother Lu is Lu Guoxing's father, Lu Zhennan.
Li Yuanshu changed his expression slightly and smiled, "I'll go with my father."
Of course, Lu Guoxing knows that they haven't tried to find out Su Heng's specific identity. To be honest, they will let Li Yuanshu help, but when he was doing things in the afternoon, he also contacted Lu Guoxing again and asked him to help him round his panic.
Even if the best friend didn't understand, he was willing to help him fulfill his lie here in Li Wangjiang.
Of course, Lu Zhennan knows the truth.
Now Li Yuanshu is not sure whether Lu Zhennan will help him answer his lie. He can only go with him and act according to his circumstances.
…………
Some time later, Xue Chenglu's house.
Lu Zhennan took Lu Guoxing and politely sent the Li family out. When he turned around and returned to the study, Lu Zhennan said with a puzzled look, "you really don't know the specific identity of that noble man? Just think he may be a big man in Qufu, the capital of the country?"
Lu Zhennan helped Li Yuanshu round a lie. The reason is very simple. Li Yuanshu has a good relationship with his son. He doesn't mind helping them continue to deepen their feelings.
Even if Li Yuanshu gambled wrong this time and brought some trouble to the Li family, it was only a certain degree of acceptable trouble.
Li Yuanshu's future position as the leader of the Li family will not change greatly.
In that case, it is necessary for the next generation of Lu family to maintain good friendship with each other, which is conducive to the future development and stability of Lu family.
Lu Guoxing immediately responded, "yes, father. From beginning to end, we didn't say a few words with the noble man. We just guessed that he was a big man from the aspects of dressing temperament and conversation. We need to take the initiative to make friends and show our kindness."
"The specific identity and origin are still deep and shallow. I can't go deep. I don't know why brother Yuanshu gambled so much this time."
What can we really determine? For example, Su Heng is an unspeakable noble figure in Shang and Tang Dynasties. For example, the Royal Prince is first-class. What is more than Li Yuanshu's action? Lu Guoxing will move faster than him!
If they can get the favor and help of the prince level of big business and Tang Dynasty, not to mention that the family business will rise to a new level, that is, they will take advantage of the trend to revitalize the state of Lu.
Don't forget that the royal family, regardless of the big business or the Tang Dynasty, is basically opposite to the gentry, dignitaries and new capital dignitaries in the Empire.
The greater the power of the gentry and nobles, the weaker the imperial power.
It is estimated that the gentry, nobles and royal families of the two empires, who stand over the state of Lu and constantly exploit the interests of the state of Lu, wish these guys bad luck.
The gentry and nobles of the great empire exploited the greater interests in the state of Lu, the more conducive it was to the revitalization and prosperity of their families.
The existence of the prince level of Shang and Tang Dynasties, even if it does not involve politics, only deals in business and talks about business ability, it can also suppress part of the gentry capital within reasonable rules. If you are close to the two emperors, cooperate with the imperial power? It is estimated that the capital of the big business gentry entrenched in the sky of Lu will die.
There was no way to determine Su Heng's identity. He also thought that the other party was probably a big man in Qufu of the state of Lu. Lu Guoxing didn't dare to take action easily. However, when the Li family's father and son visited, the friend deliberately attracted the top dignitaries of Shang and Tang dynasties... He almost cheated the owner of Li Wangjiang into the ditch? Just to get Li Wangjiang to support what he did?
Lu Guoxing really can't understand his best friend.
In his doubt, Lu Zhennan smiled and laughed loudly, "ha ha, you are a close friend with Li Yuanshu, but you can't even see the real ambition of your close friend."
"He and you are young talents who are also interested in rejuvenating the state of Lu. They can talk about this general direction, but you ignore that Li Yuanshu is much more friendly to ordinary grass-roots people than you."
"I guess he just used this noble man's business to help the grass-roots people in Xue Cheng, so as to avoid the bankruptcy of dozens of families exploited by the Xu family and the magistrate's Yamen."
Lu Guoxing was stunned and forced, "just because of his good heart? So much gambling?"
He was a little shocked.
Lu Zhennan definitely nodded, "it's probably this reason. In fact, you usually pay more attention to some small details, and you will know that he and you have two attitudes towards the common people."
Li, Xu and Lu are the top gentry and haos in Xuecheng. How can Lu Zhennan not pay more attention to the next generation of heirs who have been basically determined?
Even if Li Yuanshu doesn't mention or say something, just look at what he usually does, you can see his specific nature of mind.
Li Yuanshu and Lu Guoxing have conflicting attitudes towards civilians? This is a trivial matter in Lu Zhennan's eyes. He never mentioned it.
"This is that you are in the dark. I guess that old man Li Wangjiang can vaguely guess that Li Yuanshu will do so simply, which is related to his kind-hearted bankruptcy of trying to protect a group of civilians from extortion and oppression."
"But now, let's help Li Yuan Shuyuan get flustered. Even if we guess this, Li Wangjiang won't care. They will only work against the Xu family and even the fellow intellectuals in this matter."
"We don't care so much. We just wait and see. Finally, we see what the attitude and identity of the distinguished guest is."
"If he is the elite of the top gentry and Haozu in Qufu, or the outstanding son of the royal family? How much can he take care of the Li family, but maybe he left before things are over here? If he left, he didn't show his identity before leaving, but let Li Jiabai be a villain, it would be a big joke."
If Su Heng existed at the prince level of Shang and Tang Dynasties, it would be a great opportunity for the Li family and an opportunity to affect many things for the state of Lu, but if he was only the elite children of the top families of the Xiao family? It can't turn over much wind and waves.
Protect civilians and treat civilians well? What do other aristocratic families think of you when you do that? Is to look at you with strange eyes.
The royal family of Lu? It is also of little significance. The Lu King's office first overthrew the big business gentry and the Tuan Lu gentry, and then talk about kingship.
