Qin Yining smiled. "I haven't finished tailoring the clothes for you recently. Besides, it's very wet and cold outside. I'm not willing to go out and walk even if you want me to."
When she said this, she was jokingly giving Pang Xiao a soft rebuff. Even though Pang Xiao grounded her for her own good. But she wasn't a woman who could be easily manipulated by others. One sentence and she was not allowed to go out twice. Now, another sentence and she was allowed to go out, but she was unwilling to go out.
Pang Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this soft rebuff. Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi and the others all laughed out loud.
Mu Jinghu laughed until he was out of breath. "That's right. You should teach this little fox a lesson. We didn't even go out. Why should we not go out just because he said so? Now you want to pretend that nothing happened with just one sentence?"
"Hey, Blockhead, you're not kind." Pang Xiao grabbed Mu Jinghu's shoulders and punched him. "The next time you make your wife angry, I won't help you come up with ideas."
Everyone in the room roared with laughter.
Xu Weizhi laughed until his beard trembled. He didn't forget to give Pang Xiao an idea. "Wang Ye, why don't you properly apologize to Princess Consort?"
"That's right. Princess Consort, she didn't do anything wrong. From the start, she did it for your good. She took so many risks for you. Pat your own conscience and tell me, how many women can do this for their husband? But look at you. Without saying anything, you grounded her out of anger. What you did this time was wrong. "
Huzi had been with Pang Xiao for the longest time. Now that the atmosphere was light, he quickly spoke up to express Qin Yining's injustice. Bing Tang had told him behind his back countless times that Wang Ye had gone overboard by grounding Wang Fei. He himself also felt that Wang Fei was wrongly grounded.
Xie Yue also said: "Many people know that Wang Fei has been grounded. Just a few days ago, I heard people talking about it. Maybe Zhong Yibo furen came to make trouble for Wang Fei because she heard that Wang Fei was grounded, so she came to gloat."
After hearing what they said, Pang Xiao felt that he had committed a great sin.
He straightened his expression and stood up to greet Qin Yining. "Sister Yi, it's my fault this time."
Qin Yining hurriedly moved aside and refused his salute. He returned the salute with a smile and said, "There's no right or wrong between husband and wife. I know you're doing this for my safety. Besides, I live a very comfortable life every day. It doesn't matter if I'm grounded or not. I was just teasing you just now. "
Pang Xiao laughed and said: "You don't know. When you teased me, I sweated more than I did in a battle."
He wiped the back of his neck for Qin Yining to see. As expected, his palms were sweaty.
When they saw this, they all laughed again.
The atmosphere in the wang fu was relaxed and cheerful.
The atmosphere in the Lu fu was also very cheerful today.
"Count, you don't know. Today, those soldiers didn't manage to buy any grain. They were very anxious. Aiyo, I've never seen such a dispirited face." Head Shopkeeper Liu of Mao Sheng Grain Company smiled flatteringly.
Head Shopkeeper Cui of Hui Chuan Grain Company also said attentively: "That's right. Our grain company is the same. I think that if this continues, they won't be able to last two days. More than a hundred young men are crying out in hunger. That scene, tsk tsk."
The shopkeepers of the other grain stores didn't even have a chance to speak to Lu Heng. Right now, they could only agree.
Lu Heng smiled and said: "This is all thanks to everyone's cooperation."
"We don't dare, we don't dare." Everyone said in unison.
Lu Heng said, "Although I have a noble title and am just a low-ranking official, my Lu family is a merchant family. Everyone knows that. Now that it's raining, the price of grain is bound to rise. "
"Yes, if we all act in unison, we can take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money." Head Shopkeeper Cui smiled and said, "We also have to thank you for your reminder. You gave us a chance to work together."
Lu Heng smiled and waved his hand. Then, the corners of his lips gradually drooped and he sighed: "It's a pity that the shopkeeper of Si Tong Store is busy today."
Si Tong Store hadn't been established in Huichuan County for long, but Si Tong Store was very big in the south. The Lu family had long heard about it. Today, they wanted to take the opportunity to contact them. However, after sending the invitation, the shopkeeper said that he was busy and couldn't leave. He would visit another day.
Lu Heng knew that the shopkeeper was rejecting him. Naturally, he was unhappy.
However, although he was displeased, he did not go to the extent of being calculative. After all, to the head of the Lu Family, a small shopkeeper of the Four-Way Branch was no different from an ant. He really did not take it to heart.
When they heard that Lu Heng was unhappy with Si Tong Store, Head Shopkeeper Cui, Head Shopkeeper Liu, and the others echoed.
"Si Tong Store hasn't been in Huichuan County for long. I don't know how they became so arrogant."
"Sigh, Brother Cui, you don't know. Si Tong Store is very big in the south."
"They're big in the south. Do you think they can do the same in the north?"
The shopkeepers of the grain stores below all agreed with him.
Lu Heng was very satisfied when he saw them pandering to his words. He climbed to this position step by step in order to be at the top. This kind of flattery made Lu Heng feel happy both physically and mentally.
He even thought that it would be great if Qin Yining could see him like this.
How could Qin Yining marry that country bumpkin Pang Zhixi compare to him? Could it be that a century-old family couldn't compare to an upstart like Pang Zhixi?
At the end of the day, Lu Heng still looked down on upstarts from the bottom of his heart. It wasn't just Pang Xiao. Even Ji Zeyu and the current emperor couldn't compare to the Lu family's foundation.
The group of people chatted happily and took their leave at the right time. They promised that they would strictly adhere to the bottom line. No matter how much money the prince's residence offered, they were determined not to sell rice.
Lu Heng smiled with satisfaction and ordered someone to send them off.
When the reception pavilion returned to silence, Lu Heng's personal attendant, Lu Wenru, finally dared to come forward and say, "Master Lu, Madam is making a fuss again. She said that she wants to throw herself in."
Lu Heng laughed. "She's really crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang herself. If it weren't for Your Majesty acting as a matchmaker, I really would have kicked the stool for her. "
Lu Wenru hadn't been following Lu Heng for long. He always felt that although the master of the house was gentle and amiable, his methods were unusually ruthless. Those in the Lu family who refused to be disciplined or who disagreed with Lu Heng's position as the master of the house all died very suddenly. Therefore, in front of Lu Heng, Lu Wenru always followed the principle of speaking less and doing more. If he could avoid talking about his master, he would try his best not to.
Therefore, even though he heard Lu Heng's words, Lu Wenru didn't say much. He only said, "Master Lu, do you want to go and take a look?"
Lu Heng thought for a moment. "Of course, why wouldn't I?"
Lu Heng was now a little interested in Bian Ruohan. It wasn't because he admired her, but because he wanted to observe how this stupid woman was inferior to Qin Yining.
