Chapter 1058 The Lu Family

He Lingchuan estimated that even if he left for a few months, the archipelago would be able to operate on its own.

Following local tradition, the Yangshan Islands also held a Spring Festival to celebrate the harvest and pray for good luck throughout the year.

This festival was chosen after the grain was collected and stored in the warehouse. Everyone would go to the streets to watch performances, visit the market, eat, dance around campfires, or wear masks and sing and dance from night to morning.

In this way, there would usually be a batch of newborns at the end of the year.

According to local practice, the Yangshan Islands also invited dignitaries, wealthy merchants and businessmen with close contacts to participate in the Spring Festival.

That night, the giant bonfire on the Black Page Island burned half a day high, reflecting everyone's smiling faces.

Fine wine and delicacies were served on the table at a running price, and there were toasts everywhere.

He Lingchuan had already toasted a round of merchants, and returned to his seat to shake his neck and pat his face.

Socializing is really tiring, and my face is stiff from smiling.

Lingguang quickly handed him a small blue pill: "Take it quickly, it helps to sober you up!"

"Are you sure?" He Lingchuan smelled a strange smell from the pill and suddenly became suspicious, "You gave the wrong pill last time, and Qiu Hu had diarrhea all night."

"No, he practiced too hard during that period, and it's time to purge the poison."

"...You really don't know the ways of the world." That night, Qiu Hu was going to spend the night with his beautiful woman, but...

Anyway, Lei Ni had a long face in the next few days, and even he, the boss, could see it.

"Eat, you've already finished three jars of wine, I'm afraid you'll jump into the sea to catch the moon." Lingguang rolled his eyes at him, "Do you remember what happened the last time you got drunk?"

"What?"

"You squatted on the beach of Centipede Island and dug sand with your bare hands, digging clams all night, saying you wanted to cook two dishes for Master Sun!" Lingguang asked him, "Who is Master Sun?"

He Lingchuan laughed, "Is that true?"

"No?" Lingguang has a good memory, "Where did those two big buckets of clams come from?"

At this time, someone approached, and He Lingchuan stuffed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it without chewing.

Looking closely, it was Lu Zhenxian, the sixth son of the Lu family, who came to toast.

"Brother He, congratulations, a big harvest in spring!" Lu Zhenxian's face was a little round, and he had the amiable manner of a businessman.

He also does grain business, and the Yangshan Islands originally bought grain from him, but from now on they have to sell grain to others, so it is inevitable that there will be some competition with him. However, Lu Zhensheng quickly changed his mind. After all, in the rear of the Mou Kingdom, food is hard currency. It is nothing more than a matter of time and price.

He Lingchuan raised his glass in response: "I heard that Master Lu Liu's business has been booming recently. Congratulations."

The business of Lu Lao San and Lu Lao Liu was originally just average. After all, the best resources were taken by the main family. However, He Lingchuan intended to make friends with them. Yangshan Islands purchased a large number of goods from these two families, with large quantities and good prices. The furs and clothes mainly sold by Lu Lao San's family, and the ceramics, lacquerware, and medicinal materials mainly sold by Lu Lao Liu's family, have all opened up sales in Yangshan Islands.

The current Yangshan Islands have a permanent population of 70,000, and are still being added. The consumption demand of new civilians for household goods is quite strong.

In other words, Yangshan Islands is the biggest customer of Lu San and Lu Liu.

Lu Zhensheng was of course very unhappy that these two cousins ​​were doing business with Yangshan Islands, and he wanted to cut off their financial resources several times. There was a struggle in the Lu family, and He Lingchuan also heard about it.

Anyway, in the end, both sides took a step back. Lu Zhenxian ignored their business with Yangshan Islands, and Lu San and Lu Liu had to hand over part of the profits, on the grounds that they used family resources.

When He Lingchuan heard the news, he knew that the estrangement and contradiction between the Lu brothers had been deepened by his money offensive.

Now he is Lu Laoliu's God of Wealth. Lu Laoliu's attitude is particularly enthusiastic. He took a brocade box from the guard and handed it to him with both hands: "It's a small gift, not a respect."

"How can I be so embarrassed?" He Lingchuan said this, but he was not polite and opened the lid of the box.

In the box lay a golden bowl, with a peacock embossed on the bowl, and the top feathers and tail feathers were inlaid with broken rubies.

It was pure red gold, full of gorgeousness, and it was still dazzling under the firelight.

"Golden rice bowl?" Lu Laoliu was also a gift-giver, and this gift was very pleasing.

Lu Laoliu smiled: "Holding a golden rice bowl, you don't have to worry about anything."

Everyone said good.

At this time, a young man and woman squeezed behind Lu Laoliu, stared at him for a while, and finally said in surprise:

"He Xiao!"

He Lingchuan stood with his back to the bonfire. The more intense the fire was, the darker his face was, and others could not see him clearly. The young man changed two angles and finally saw him clearly.

"Lu Qingbang!" He Lingchuan's eyes lit up, strode forward, took the lead to circle his shoulders, and shook him vigorously a few times, "Long time no see!"

This young man was naturally Lu Laoliu's son Lu Qingbang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a strong body, and only the chin was similar to his father.

The two men looked at each other and laughed.

Lu Laoliu rubbed his hands and said happily: "Do you really recognize him?"

"I really recognize him." Lu Qingbang nodded repeatedly, "We drank and sailed in Lingxu City last year. I didn't expect that I could still see Brother He when I returned to my hometown thousands of miles away!"

At that time, He Xiao became famous in Lingxu City because of the immortal medicine case. Walking among the crowd was like a star. Lu Qingbang was one of the "stars". He was born in a remote area and was not very good at talking. He Lingchuan did not have much interaction with him. He only remembered that there was such a person.

Unexpectedly, this person was actually a relative of the original body.

Lu Liulao smiled at He Lingchuan and said, "Quanzi has just come back from the front line, and he must follow the island to see you."

Lu Qingbang said seriously: "Brother He did great things in Lingxu City. Of course I want to come and pay a visit to such a person!"

During his study tour in Bega, he was just a spectator. However, He Lingchuan got involved in the deepest political struggle in Lingxu City. It was like sailing in turbulent waves, and he would be shattered into pieces if he wasn't careful.

But He Xiao was able to escape completely and is still standing here.

This alone is amazing.

The soul-capturing mirror in He Lingchuan's arms chuckled: "When he said that, I thought your deeds of burning down the Star Tower were revealed."

The guests on the side were curious and asked one after another: "Tell us about it?"

"Wait a minute!" Lu Qingbang quickly introduced the girl next to him to He Lingchuan, "This is my sister, Lu Feiyan."

Lu Feiyan was only half a head shorter than her brother, and her body was strong and far superior to that of an ordinary girl. When He Lingchuan saw the muscles in her arms, he felt that she could punch the rich second generation in the city to tears.

This is a female man who can carry a gun on a horse and kill people on the ground.

Her round face was flushed, and she looked at He Lingchuan with curiosity: "Hello. My brother praises you to the heavens, and gets as excited as a monkey when he mentions you. When can we try two moves?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, girl!" Lu Laoliu was startled, fearing that his reckless daughter would break his God of Wealth. "If you want to fight, go to your brother!"

Lu Feiyan curled his lips: "Brother said that he can defeat the deputy commander of Lingxu City Tongxin Guard, so he must have two brushes. Can't I ask for advice?"

Lu Laoliu didn't know what kind of team the "Tongxin Guards" were, but the prefix of Lingxu City seemed very cool.

So this Brother He is not only smart, smart, generous and generous, but also has incredible cultivation?

No mistake, okay, no mistake!

"No problem, we will come to Xiaosu Island in a few days. Our escort team will organize a drill." He Lingchuan said to Lu Feiyan, "Bring more clothes, the water mist is thick there."

Lu Feiyan said happily: "Okay, you just do it."

Someone called her and she went over. Lu Laoliu whispered to He Lingchuan: "My daughter is crazy in front of others. Brother He, don't argue with her, and don't compete with her. She joined the army a few days ago and her face was broken. She had such a long hair The whole family is terrified."

Lu Laoliu made gestures on his face, from the corners of his eyes to his mouth. "Thankfully we got good medicine, otherwise she would have scars on her face!"

"If you have this kind of trouble again, just come to me." Ling Guang was sitting at the table drinking, He Lingchuan pointed at it, "My pharmacist is the best at refining elixirs and making ointments. I guarantee that there will be no scars left."

The noise around the bonfire was loud. He Lingchuan patted Lu Qingbang on the shoulder and called him to talk on the reef dozens of feet away.

Today's meeting with the Lu brothers and sisters was actually the result of his repeated hints to Lu Laoliu.

Once Lu Laoliu understands, the relationship between the two parties will be able to move forward.

Far away from the crowd, the sound of the tide is mechanical but pleasant. After the tide goes out, there are mudskippers and small crabs in the puddles on the rocks, and they hide in the cracks when they see people coming.

Lu Qingbang spoke first: "Why did He Xiao come to our place?"

"I'm tired of wandering all over the world, so I just want to find a place to put down roots." He Lingchuan sat down and swung his long legs on the rocks. "I think this place is pretty good. Once I come here, I don't want to leave."

"Great, I can ask Brother He for more advice in the future!"

He Lingchuan took a closer look at Lu Qingbang. The young man's eyes were full of joy, and his expression didn't seem to be fake.

"What are you asking for advice from?" He Lingchuan said casually, "Brother Lu has become a general, going into battle to kill the enemy and defend his homeland. The students in Lingxu City can only talk on paper and talk about doctrines, and they are no longer as good as you."

He himself has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he can immediately smell the iron and blood on Lu Qingbang's body. Don't look at the fact that the latter is less than twenty years old, and he should have many lives under his control.

Actual combat brings true knowledge, and Lu Qingbang who returned home to join the war was completely different from two years ago. If he were in his current state at that time, He Lingchuan would be able to pick him out from the crowd and make friends with him.

"It was only after I went to the battlefield that I realized how difficult it was for Brother He back then." Lu Qingbang sighed softly, "I heard people say in Lingxu City that you are the best at understanding people's hearts, the best at observing situations, and you are forthright in front of others. People are careful. The more I think about it after I come back, the more I think about it. If I can be as transparent as Brother He, maybe I won’t be so passive when fighting on the front line.”

He Lingchuan was surprised: "Who would say that about me?"

"Du Shan. He said it while drinking."

"...That sixth man!" He Lingchuan couldn't help but mutter.
