    At the solstice of midsummer, the green warblers sing in the Jade Dew Garden, and the green fireflies begin to pick summer flowers to make tea. Su Mingwu likes sweetness, and the sweet taste of tea usually takes too long in the mouth, so she always has to pair it with some accompaniments.  Get rid of suffering.

    "Princess, you don't need to stay with me here. I will go back after you finish picking."

    ¡°I¡¯m not accompanying you, I¡¯m just looking for a comfortable place to think about how to write letters.¡±

    Su Mingwu sat at the stone table with her chin propped up, writing and drawing on the paper with her right hand. After she returned to the palace, she received several letters from Lu Jingshan. The content was nothing new. They were just praising the beautiful scenery of Liangzhou.  It's a pity that it's not winter, so I can't enjoy the strong wind and the snow.

    At first glance, it didn¡¯t mean much, but Su Mingwu could tell that the scenery Lu Jingshan had been talking about for the past half month was from north to south, and he estimated that he would be able to reach Wuwei Mansion tonight.

    "Princess, you don't have to worry. The prince is right. Master Lu needs help from us, but why did he take advantage of us?"

    Su Mingwu didn't say anything. She wasn't worried, she just didn't want to wait for Fu Luan to come back and look for opportunities to go out. That would be troublesome.

    After Green Fire said that, she frowned and wiped off the brown dirt on the petals, then turned around and said, "Princess, it hasn't rained for several days, why are the flowers still so dirty? It's really strange!"

    Su Mingwu looked over without caring, "Don't worry about it, just pick something clean."

    "Yes."

    While the master and servant were chatting, the concierge handed over a letter. Su Mingwu opened it, and it was Lu Jingshan again. From one letter every three days, to one letter every two days, now it is sent in one day. It seems that he is finally anxious.

    After Su Mingwu read it, she smiled and said, "Lu Ying, this matter will be decided tomorrow."

    "Does Mr. Lu agree?"

    "He made an appointment for us to continue our discussion at the Wuwei Wine Shop on Yulin Street tomorrow. It seems that the situation in Jinghua is urgent and he can't help it."

    Green Firefly carried the half-framed basket of flowers and leaves under her wrist, and supported Su Mingwu with her other hand, "Princess, that's great. Let's go back and get ready. The garden is dewy and wet. Will you stay here for a long time?"  OK."

    "Um."

    After the two left, beside the lush flower branches, there were broken petals left on the ground. A slender woman walked over, but her face could not be seen clearly. She bent down, her thin hands were close to the ground, and she scooped up the petals in her palm.  He lifted it to his knees, turned it over, sneered slightly, and then disappeared at the end of the flower path.

    ***

    The Wuwei Wine Inn has been open in Wuwei Mansion for decades. The small two-story shop is a family heirloom of the shopkeeper. It is also a coincidence that it has just been renovated and today is the first day to welcome guests.

    Su Mingwu rarely goes out because her business has been shut down recently. She relies on Lu Ying to ask Ye Zhefeng to handle small things. Staying in the palace like this, even Li Taiqing thought that the princess was unwell, so he came to Zhangyue Palace several times worriedly.

    Presuming that Fu Luan would be back soon, Su Mingwu told Li Taiqing before leaving that if the prince came to the house, he should go to Wuwei Wine Inn to call her, and the housekeeper agreed.

    The carriage stopped on the street. Su Mingwu sat in the carriage and took a nap for a while. Then she slowly walked into the tavern with Lu Ying. Ye Zhefeng had been standing downstairs early.

    On the second floor, there were not many guests. Lu Jingshan had already waited for two sticks of incense, and there was no hint of impatience on his face. When he saw Su Mingwu coming, he stood up with a smile and held his hands, "Madam."

    Su Mingwu nodded slightly and said warmly: "Master Lu, I'm sorry, I'm late."

    "Madam is busy with things. I am bothering you. Madam, please sit down."

    Neither of them were polite when they met for the first time. Instead, they talked about him this time. Lu Jingshan only talked about the caravans he met along the way and only talked about half a cup of tea.

    The waiter ran forward to finish the third cup of tea. Finally, the content got to the point.

    Lu Jingshan turned his head and pouted the broken tea leaves, and said: "Madam, I told you what the ancestors of the Lu family did. I'm used to talking. What if you really take 60% and agree to annex the Xiong family one day?"

    "I won't."

    "I know Madam won't, but in the next few generations, your descendants will be in power. What will happen to my Lu family then?"

    Su Mingwu smiled and said, "Why do you want to be annexed by the big shipping merchants, rather than the Lu family squeezing them out? In addition, I thought that the Lu family came to me because they acquiesced to my conditions."

    Lu Jingshan stroked his beard and said, "Madam, don't get me wrong. I don't agree, nor do I agree completely."

    "Please tell me."

    "Madam, I can give you a 60% bonus, but it's just a bonus. The merchant ships can be operated by the Lu family, and outsiders are not allowed to intervene in the planning. Every year, you have to invest some of it into the Lu family as appropriate. After all, with only our 40%, we can't usually  The turnover is really difficult. If the ladies agree, we can cover it with red mud."

      Behind the curtain, Su Mingwu lowered her eyes and seriously considered the feasibility of this method.  Obviously, being in charge of the Lu family is Lu Jingshan's bottom line, and she has limited energy and is not prepared to interfere too much. As for investing dividends, it can be classified as a reasonable request.

    Su Mingwu thought for a moment, "It's not impossible, but I still have two conditions."

    "Madam, please speak."

    "First, the Lu family will not allow others to take shares in the future, not in any form; second, if the Lu family makes mistakes in decision-making and suffers from poor management, I will not be implicated."

    Lu Jingshan said displeased: "Madam, you are too shrewd. With such a sure profit, I can only treat it as a loan from the bank."

    Su Mingwu chuckled and said: "I haven't finished yet. Although I am not implicated, I will return all the profits I made through the Lu family to you to tide over the disaster."

    "That's okay"

    Lu Jingshan had never heard of this, but he felt much relieved because of these words.

    "In addition, I have many friends in the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce. They transport goods to Beijing. I hope the Lu family merchant ship can take care of them."

    Su Mingwu calculated at home that the Lu family's small boats only made a hundred taels for two months, and 60% of it was of no concern to her. What she needed was to subsidize the shipping costs of the medicinal materials. She confirmed clearly that the money earned from the medicinal materials was  Big head part.

    "Don't worry, madam, this is not a problem. To be honest, most of our commissions come from transporting goods from the south of the Yangtze River to the north. The return trip from Liangzhou to the south of the Yangtze River is often empty. If we do something honest, we can still make money."

    "That's good."

    The word ¡®we¡¯ was used in both cases, and both parties were satisfied with the decision.

    Su Mingwu breathed a sigh of relief and took out three thousand taels and put it on the table, "Mr. Lu, since you have brought the stamp, we will finish this matter today. You can go back to Beijing directly with the banknote."

    Lu Jingshan had exactly this intention. He was almost suffocated to death from looking at the landscape recently.

    Su Mingwu and Lu Ying laughed out loud when they saw the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that the old man dug out of his arms. Lu Jingshan laughed and said, "I rushed back in a hurry and took it with me to make you laugh."

    Ye Zhefeng, who was standing behind him, remained silent. Now that he saw Su Mingwu eagerly looking forward to the paper deed, he immediately started grinding the ink for the old man and took the opportunity to learn more words

    After walking out of Wuwei Liquor Inn, Su Mingwu watched Lu Jingshan's carriage rush to the border with Yizhou. The most inconvenient thing about Liangzhou is that the waterway is not accessible, and goods going south have to take the dry road.

    Lu Ying told her several times in her previous life that there was news that the imperial court wanted to dig a canal here, but every time it was just based on rumors, but the rumors may not be unfounded. Su Mingwu used to not care about political affairs, but now she increasingly finds that shopping malls and officialdom are not the same.  There are many connections that cannot be broken, such as the quota of large shipping merchants in the Water Transport Department.

    ¡°That¡¯s all, let¡¯s talk about these things later and let nature take its course.

    Su Mingwu adjusted the curtains and tilted her head back, "Zhefeng, we can continue to make the licorice from Gumin County that we paused last time."

    "Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away."

    Ye Zhefeng took the order and went back to do things first. The palace's carriage approached and stopped steadily at the door of the wine shop. When Su Mingwu was about to get on the carriage, a man rode a horse from far and near, waving a red scarf in his hand, which was festive.  Funny again.

    Lu Ying puffed her lips and said crisply: "Princess, look, who does this belong to? It's just making a joke on the street."

    Su Mingwu turned to laugh at her, "You don't even recognize the concierge, Xiaohu?"

    "ah?"

    Little Huzi was not very good at riding a horse, so he reluctantly held on to the reins and stopped in front of Su Mingwu.

    "Princess, princess!"

    His face was filled with joy. He jumped off the horse and grinned with eight teeth at the same time. "Princess, the housekeeper asked the servant to tell you that the prince is back!"
