"What Wei Xiandi said is not unreasonable!" Xiao Yu twirled his beard and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Although Lu Chen seems to be unruly and erratic, he is definitely not a careless person. Judging from what he has done in the past, this person is definitely a person who makes decisions and acts, and his way of showing weakness this time is precisely his cleverness!" Xiao Yu said slowly.
"Is there any deeper meaning in it?" Wang Gui on the side continued to ask.
"Who is in the limelight in Chang'an City now?" Xiao Yu picked up the tea cup and after taking a sip of tea, he looked at Wang Gui and the others and asked.
"The most popular person is naturally Lu Chen!" Several people answered in unison without thinking.
"That's right! Everyone can see that this guy is the most popular person recently, how could he not know it himself?" Xiao Yu sneered and put down the tea cup, "Similarly, if you were in Lu Chen's current position, how could he know it? Will he continue to act in such a high-profile manner, or will he find an opportunity to lower his reputation?" Xiao Yu's falcon-like eyes glanced directly at several people.
"This..." When Xiao Yu asked this, the other people all pondered.
"We, the family, are well versed in the matter of big trees attracting the wind. How can it be that Lu Chen's mind doesn't understand? So this son's deep and terrifying thoughts are evident!" After a while, Wang Gui nodded directly and said.
"What's more, what this boy is holding is extremely harmful to our family. However, if you are not completely sure and can't hit it with one blow, you still have to tolerate this boy!" Xiao Yu continued.
Everyone nodded in agreement with Xiao Yu's statement. After all, the thing in Lu Chen's hand was really terrifying.
"But this time, whether he made Lu Chen feel so defeated this time, whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, it gave us a sigh of relief!" Zheng Shanguo said lightly.
"My lord, Prince Zhao's steward Li Fu is outside asking for an audience!" At the stall where these people in the front hall were talking, Xiao Yu's steward Xiao Huan walked in from outside the front hall and reported directly to Xiao Yu.
"Look, what is supposed to come will come after all!" After hearing Xiao Huan's report, Xiao Yu looked directly at the others and said with a smile, "Bring him in!" Xiao Yu nodded at Xiao Huan .
Xiao Huan took the order and turned around to leave. With little effort, Li Fu walked into the front hall under the leadership of Xiao Huan. When he saw so many people present, Li Fu was stunned for a moment, but his expression soon recovered. usual.
"I've seen Xiao Pushe, I've seen Wang Zhongyun..." Li Fu saluted Xiao Yu, Wang Gui and others one by one.
"Steward Li, there is no need to be polite! I wonder why Steward Li is here?" Xiao Yu stood up directly and helped Li Fu up. Although Li Fu is only Li Xiaogong's palace steward, Li Fu is here to represent Li Xiaogong. These people really don't care. Dare to be too trustworthy.
"Thank you Xiao Pushe!" Li Fu straightened up with Xiao Yu's support and said with a smile. Everyone else also stood up and nodded with Li Fu.
Li Fu looked around at everyone, and then continued: "The young man is here under the orders of my prince, and invites you to meet at the banquet building!"
"Since the prince invites you, we naturally obey the order and ask Butler Li to reply to the prince first. We will be there soon!" After hearing what Li Fu said, Xiao Yu glanced at the others and raised his hands to Li Fu. said.
"Then I'll take my leave first!" Seeing Xiao Yu and others agreed, Li Fu saluted everyone and said, "I hope you won't keep my prince waiting for too long! Take your leave, little old man!" Li Fu said After Fu finished speaking, he turned and left the front hall.
"Wang Zhongyun, that banquet building is the property of your Wang family..." After Li Fu left, Zheng Shanguo came to Wang Gui and whispered.
"I can't figure out why Prince Zhao decided to place this place at the Yanbin Building!" Wang Gui stroked his beard, thought about it, and shook his head.
"It is said that the Changyuan Building has been given to Lu Chen by the Du family. Your family's banquet building is across the street from Changyuan Building. Li Xiaogong decided to place it here. I am afraid it also means competing with Lu Chen. Inside!" Wei Ting said, stroking his beard and thinking about it.
"Then it would be great if he settled on Changyuan Building!" Wang Gui rolled his eyes and said. Li Xiaogong decided that this place would be on Yanbin Building. Didn't this drag his Wang family into it?
"Settled in Changyuan Building?" Hearing Wang Gui's unhappy words, Xiao Yu, who was arranging his clothes under the service of a maid, laughed directly, "If it is settled in Changyuan Building, do you think Li Xiaogong dares? Or do you think you do? If Lu Chen gives in, can we step on his face?"
"This..." After Xiao Yu said this, everyone thought about it and realized that it really made sense. Lu Chen was able to surrender in front of Li Xiaogong. On the one hand, he was in too much limelight recently and wanted to lower his reputation; On the one hand, Lu Chen is now the future prince-in-law who was betrothed by Li Yuan. So Li Xiaogong is also the prince of the Li family. After all, he will also be a relative of Lu Chen in the future. Lu Chen is more likely to give in to Li Xiaogong.
But if you go ahead and hold the banquet at Changyuan Building just because of this, Lu Chen will definitely overturn your table.
As soon as Xiao Yu said this, these people fell silent.
Everyone quickly arrived at the banquet building. After all, this was an invitation from the prince of the dynasty, so these people naturally had to give face.
"I've met Prince Zhao!"
"I've met the prince!"
Under the guidance of the shopkeeper of the Yanbin Building, everyone came to the private room and saw Li Xiaogong sitting in the main seat. They all saluted Li Xiaogong.
"You're welcome!" Li Xiaogong stood up and greeted these people enthusiastically, "Please take your seats!" Li Xiaogong pointed to the chair next to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After everyone thanked Li Xiaogong, they each sat on their chairs.
"Thank you for your long wait, Your Majesty. It's a sin! A sin!" After sitting down, Xiao Yu faced Li Xiaogong and apologized again.
"I am the one who summoned you all suddenly. What is Xiao Pushe's fault? It must be me who is disturbing you all!" Li Xiaogong responded with a smile.
"The prince is serious!" Xiao Yu responded with the same smile, "I wonder why the prince called us here?" Xiao Yu looked at Li Xiaogong and asked.
"Alas!" After hearing Xiao Yu's question, Li Xiaogong sighed slightly and made an expression as if he had encountered a problem.
"I wonder why the prince sighs? If there is anything we can do to help the prince, I hope the prince will not dislike us!" Seeing Li Xiaogong sighing, Xiao Yu hurriedly said to Li Xiaogong enthusiastically.
"Everyone should know that it is impossible for me to stay in Chang'an for a long time, and there has been some friction between me and Lu Chen in recent days..." When Li Xiaogong said this, he did not continue, but looked at Xiao Yu and others.
"The Duke of Lu County is His Majesty's appointed consort. In the future, he and the prince will also be a family. Although Lu Chen is a bit more arrogant and domineering, and he is just a little young and frivolous, the prince and he are members of the same family, and there is some friction between them. It's normal, why does the prince sigh?" Xiao Yu looked confused and comforted Li Xiaogong, but his words were full of disdain for Lu Chen.
"Actually, Lu Chen is not bad as a person!" Li Xiaogong nodded slightly when Xiao Yu said this, seeming to agree with Xiao Yu's words, "Isn't this because of the friction between the two of us! Then Lu Chen gave me away It’s just a shop, but I am unambiguous about leading troops to fight and attack cities and forts. However, doing business..." Li Xiaogong said and took out the deed of the iron stove shop from his arms. , put it on the table and pushed it in front of Xiao Yu.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Xiao Yu could tell from the words on the deed that it belonged to the iron stove shop under Shengshi. He was secretly happy for a while, but on the surface, he still pretended to be confused. He looked at Li Xiaogong with an expression on his face.
"I can't stay in Chang'an for a long time. I'll tell you the truth. After a while, His Majesty will issue an order to let me go out of the capital to do business!" Li Xiaogong looked at Xiao Yu and continued, "I am not in the capital, so I will let my servants take care of this shop. I don't feel at ease, I heard that there are people in Xiao Pushe and other families who are good at business, and I want to change hands of this shop!" Li Xiaogong directly stated the purpose of calling these people.
"I wonder how much the prince wants to price this shop?" Wang Gui and several others sitting next to Xiao Yu also saw what was written on the deed, so Wang Gui asked directly.
As soon as Wang Gui said these words, several other people glanced at him, with some displeasure in their eyes.
When Wang Gui was looked at by several people, he suddenly felt that he seemed a little anxious.
"It's understandable that Wang Zhongyun is a little anxious for such a good shop!" Li Xiaogong smiled and helped Wang Gui, "If I hadn't been unable to stay in the capital for a long time, I would have been reluctant to sell this shop!" Li Xiaogong looked at the deed on the table and sighed.
What Li Xiaogong said was not abrupt at all. After all, it is obvious to all these people how profitable this iron stove shop is now. If not, they would not have thought of provoking Li Xiaogong and Lu Chen. Originally, they just wanted to use Li Xiaogong. They wanted to clean up Lu Chen, or there might be some different "sparks" between the two people, but what they didn't expect was that Lu Chen actually gave the shop directly to Li Xiaogong. This was something they had no idea about. Less than.
What surprised them even more was that Li Xiaogong actually held a banquet to sell the shop.
"Then Prince, how are you going to set the price?" Xiao Yu once again asked the same question as Wang Gui.
"I am not sure about the price of the project, so how about this! How about we learn from Lu Chen and have a bid? Whoever bids reasonably among you will get it, how about it?" Li Xiaogong thought about it for a moment, and then Looking at Xiao Yu and others' suggestion, of course, this trick was also the idea given to him by Lu Chen!
