Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 238 Su is upright and only wants to make progress!

Marry Lu’s daughter?

Lu Chengqing and the other man looked at Su Chen in astonishment, wanting to open his head to see what was inside.

When you know you are hungry, you start looking for your mother. When you know you are scared, you start looking for your father?

What did you do earlier?

Lu Chengsi had a bit more disdain for Su Chen, the so-called madman and poisonous scholar, from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Chengqing rubbed his ears as if he had heard it wrong, and asked in confusion: "Mr. Su, do you want to marry my daughter of the Lu family?"

Su Chen nodded, "To be honest, I have always regarded marrying the daughter of the Lu family as my life goal!"

"..."

Lu Chengqing and the other man were shocked by Su Chen's words.

The goal is to marry Lu’s daughter?
Is your life goal so superficial?
Lu Chengsi suddenly smiled and waved his hand, "Stop joking, Mr. Su. With your current assets, why do you need to marry my daughter, Lu?"

"No matter which girl you like in Chang'an City, whether it's from a wealthy family or a beautiful girl from a humble family, isn't it easy for you to win her over?"

"What's more, I heard that you and the daughter of King Jiangxia have an intimate relationship and are even discussing marriage."

"What nonsense!"

Su Chen said with a serious expression: "This is a slander against me by outsiders!"

"Su is a righteous man who only wants to make progress. How can he have any relationship with Princess Li? Not to mention being ambiguous, ambiguous or not? Someone is deliberately throwing dirty water on me and wants to ruin the good marriage between me and Lu!"

big head!

Lu Chengsi rubbed his head and looked at Lu Chengqing beside him.

Lu Chengqing frowned and said, "Mr. Su, stop joking. Since you know some things about my Lu family, you should understand that the daughters of the Lu family do not marry outside the family."

Su Chen's face was full of smiles. "Is that why you said it was an unreasonable request? I believe that with Lord Lu's influence in the Lu family, he can make this a good thing."

Lu Chengqing shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I don't like to be a matchmaker."

"That……"

Su Chen turned his gaze to Lu Chengsi.

Lu Chengsi smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su. If I had a precious daughter, I could have helped you. It's just a pity."

Su Chen had a conflicted look on his face, as if he was very unwilling to not be able to establish a relationship with the Lu family through Lu Chengqing this time.

"Then Lord Lu, can you help me contact Fan Yang?"

Su Chen whispered: "I am willing to take out 100,000 taels of silver to make friends with the Lu family. I hope the Lu family can show some leniency."

One hundred thousand taels of silver?
Sun Qiang was so frightened that his scalp went numb. "Sir, you are going too far."

Even though Lu Chengqing and the other man were well-informed, they were still frightened by the conditions offered by Su Chen.

Even though the Lu family is wealthy and powerful, it is not an easy task to come up with so much money in a short period of time.

From this, we can see how much benefit Su Chen gained during his time in Chang'an City by taking advantage of the title of crown prince.

Lu Chengqing and the other man looked at each other, and Lu Chengqing saw some excitement on Lu Chengsi's face.

That's one hundred thousand taels of silver. Anyone would go crazy for it.

Lu Chengqing sighed: "I'm sorry, I really can't do this."

"Mr. Su, you don't know. Actually, since I entered the court as an official, I have had less contact with Fan Yang. My face is not worth much."

Seeing that Lu Chengqing spoke so bluntly, Lu Chengsi nodded helplessly, looking like he was unable to help.

Su Chen was a little furious, and stood up and said, "Lord Lu, you and I have known each other for a long time, so why are you unwilling to help me with such a small favor?"

"Sun Qiang!"

Sun Qiang understood, took out the prepared gift, placed it on the table and opened it.

moment.

The bright rays of light stimulated the eyes of Lu Chengqing and the other man.

The uniquely shaped gold leaves and the smooth and round gold beans make people want to play with them.

"Mr. Su, you..."

"Lord Lu, this is a little gift from me!"

"Master Su, are you trying to bribe me?"

Lu Chengqing's face was somewhat dissatisfied, with a hint of reprimand: "Take these things away, don't affect the friendship between you and me!"

"Don't."

Lu Chengsi hurriedly stood up to stop Lu Chengqing and said in a deep voice: "Cousin, Mr. Su has good intentions!"

"He is just using this to express his feelings and wants you to be his matchmaker. He is not asking you to release the prisoner or anything illegal. It cannot be considered as abusing power for personal gain or accepting bribes."

Su Chen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's it."

"Even if you ask someone to be a matchmaker, you still need to offer a gift. This is just my humble token of appreciation. Please don't refuse, Lord Lu."

"no!"

Lu Chengqing still refused without giving in.

Lu Chengsi sighed, "If cousin doesn't want to, then I can help think of a solution."

Lu Chengqing glanced at him sideways and said nothing.

Su Chen was overjoyed, "Really?"

Lu Chengsi smiled and nodded, "If Mr. Su really has this idea, I will tell Fan Yang about your matter."

"Thank you!"

Su Chen bowed deeply.

Lu Chengsi smiled and helped him up, "It is a blessing for the Lu family to have a friend like Master Su."

"Thank you sir!"

Su Chen nodded in thanks, "If you can say a few good words, Su Chen will definitely thank you with a generous gift."

"You're welcome."

Lu Chengsi smiled. Su Chen bowed and said, "I still have some trivial matters to attend to. I will not disturb you two any more. Goodbye."

"Mr. Su, take care."

Lu Chengsi watched Su Chen leave with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the piles of golden leaves and golden beans.

He couldn't help but pick up a few gold leaves and examine them, then turned to look at Lu Chengqing, "Cousin, come and take a look, these gold leaves are extremely delicately made."

Lu Chengqing picked up the teacup with a fake smile, took a sip of tea and said, "Fan Yang will not let him go just because he sent these things."

"nature."

Lu Chengsi smiled and nodded, "However, since he has delivered the things, how can he take them back?"

"It's free and cheap, why not take it?"

"hehe."

Lu Chengqing shook his head. "Have you ever thought that he did it on purpose?"

Lu Chengsi: "Of course I have thought about it."

"Then you still accept it?"

"Didn't I just tell you that why don't you accept the gold that's given to you for free?"

Lu Chengsi didn't take it to heart, and said confidently: "If we wait until this matter is understood, his property will probably fall into the hands of the Li family. It is better to take some benefits from him while he is still here."

Lu Chengqing said faintly: "It's not so easy to get his benefits."

At least during the period when Su Chen's fame rose and spread throughout Chang'an City, he had not seen many people who had taken advantage of Su Chen.

He still remembered the time when Su Chen was locked up in the prison by him. In a blink of an eye, he turned the passive situation into active one, and he, a third-rank minister, had no way to do anything!
And there is also the words that come from smelling the fragrance!
Lu Chengsi: "Can a dying man rebel against the heavens?"

See this.

Lu Chengqing shook his head and said nothing more.

Lu Chengsi said with a smile: "Cousin, how about you and I split these gold leaves and gold beans equally?"

"You can take them all."

Lu Chengqing waved his hands, as if he didn't take these things seriously.

Lu Chengsi: "Cousin, are you really not going to take a penny?"

"No."

"Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

Lu Chengsi smiled and repacked it and put it aside, "Cousin, about the Enlightenment Project..."

"I won't interfere."

Lu Chengqing shook his head. "You should understand that I am now an official in the court. If I am a little careless, not only will I lose my position, but it may also cost me my life! I hope you can understand."

Lu Chengsi nodded after pondering, "In that case, I won't bother my cousin anymore."

Lu Chengqing smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to Chang'an City. I have asked people to prepare a banquet. You and I will not leave until we are drunk."

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"

……

"Sir, didn't you overact just now?"

Sun Qiang looked at Su Chen in confusion. There was obviously no need to be so servile, but Su Chen played the role of a desperate man to perfection.

He was just about to surrender to the Lu family, hoping to gain Lu's magnanimity and accept him as one of his own.

Su Chen said calmly: "Is it too much?"

Sun Qiang nodded heavily, "Sir, there is absolutely no need to do this."

Su Chen smiled and said, "But I feel that what I did just now was not enough, at least not sincere enough. If I had shed a few tears out of excitement just now, it would have been better."

Sun Qiang: "Not really?"

Su Chen said softly: "You have to understand one thing, not everyone can give money."

Sun Qiang looked thoughtful, "Is it Lu Chengqing?"

Su Chen shook his head, "It's a way to give money away!"

"Some people want to give money but have no connections, while others want to give money but have connections but people won't accept it."

“Obviously, we had a little better luck.”

"I gave money and they accepted it."

Sun Qiang: "He may not be able to do it."

Su Chen said meaningfully: "It doesn't matter whether the work is done or not, what matters is that he has already received the money."

"In the past two days, Kong Shaoxin from the Kong family and Lu Chengsi from the Lu family have visited many people one after another."

"Now, you and I came to Lord Lu's house with gifts, but returned empty-handed. What do you think those people will think?"

Sun Qiang frowned, his head always feeling itchy, as if something was about to pop out, but it was just a little bit away.

"Then what are we going to do next?"

"Wait."

Su Chen smiled slightly and looked up at the sun hidden by the clouds. A cool breeze blew by, making him feel cool.

"got windy."

"Well, it's almost the end of summer, and it's time for the autumn harvest."

Sun Qiang nodded and responded subconsciously, but saw Su Chen looking at him strangely.

"What's wrong, sir? Am I wrong?"

"Correct."

"It's harvest time."

Su Chen laughed, tapped Sun Qiang on the shoulder, and strode forward.
