Peerless Pirates

Lu Dafu was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his eyes were squinted, he was barely breathing, and he looked half-dead. Next to him, an old doctor with a goatee put his hand on his pulse, with a hesitant look in his eyes.

look.

After a long tea time, the old doctor took his hand away, stroking his beard, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Doctor, how is my father's condition?" Lu Chun hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"The pulse is more stable, but the body is still relatively weak and needs to rest." The old doctor paused and said, "My father is mainly suffering from heart disease. You must relax your mind in everything, so that your condition can be cured."

"Thank you very much, doctor." Lu Chun repeatedly handed over his hand.[

The old doctor nodded, turned back to the table, Lu Chun quickly handed over the brush dipped in ink, and the old doctor quickly wrote a prescription for warming: "Take the medicine like this, one pair a day is enough, and let it go normally

Your Majesty, please eat more rice porridge and vegetarian soup, and avoid greasy and spicy foods. Your Majesty's body is all caused by the sudden fire attacking the heart. Your family should take more advice from it. Doctors can heal the body, but not the mind. This should be remembered."

Naturally, Lu Chun agreed repeatedly and sent the old doctor out the door after paying him fifty taels of medical money.

After returning to the room, Lu Chun came to Lu Dafu's bed, held Lu Dafu's hand and squeezed it twice. Lu Dafu slowly opened his eyes and said hoarsely to his wife and daughter who were waiting next to him: "You all go out.

Well, let Chun'er accompany me to talk here."

After Mrs. Lu gave some instructions, she took Lu Feng'er out and the other two maids who were serving her also followed.

As soon as the door of the room was closed, Lu Dafu sat up from the bed, his eyes instantly glowing, and except for his face being slightly pale, he did not look seriously ill.

Lu Chun was not surprised at all. After telling Lu Dafu about Song Zheng's return yesterday, Lu Dafu's illness immediately recovered for the most part. As the doctor said, Lu Dafu was mainly suffering from anxiety, not physical.

Problem, now that he knew that Song Zheng was outside and had come up with feasible solutions, Lu Dafu felt relieved.

Lu Dafu trusts Song Zheng even more than Lu Chun. From the establishment of the trading house to now, Song Zheng has brought Lu Dafu too many surprises.

However, Lu Dafu was a calm and experienced man. In order not to arouse suspicion, he pretended to be seriously ill and hid it from his wife and other servants. Only Lu Feng'er noticed some of the truth, but because of her intelligence, she would not say anything, but instead

Cover up for Lu Dafu.

"In the future, don't ask the doctor to come to see you every day. You almost exposed your secret today." Lu Dafu ordered. Although Lu Dafu could pretend to be sick, his pulse condition could not be concealed.

Lu Chun nodded, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms: "Lao Bu came here just now and brought this." Lao Bu is Lu Dafu's confidant brought from Shandong Road, and usually sits in the trading building.

, when Song Zheng was discussing how to contact Lu Chun, Lu Chun asked Lao Bu. After all, Song Zheng could not sneak into Lu Mansion at any time to deliver news.

Lu Dafu took the paper, read it quickly, and became furious: "These people really go to such extreme lengths to dare to take advantage of Ruifeng Bank Notes."

What was written on that piece of paper was clearly the counterfeiting plan put forward by Mr. Jian at Huang Song's house, and the specific method was clearly stated.

"Father, in order to prevent this from happening before it happens, I think we should immediately use new anti-counterfeiting marks to redeem all the old banknotes before they create counterfeit banknotes."

Lu Dafu pondered for a moment and shook his head: "We can't do this for the time being, at least we can't do it so obviously." Seeing Lu Chun's surprise, Lu Dafu said: "Judging from the details of the news, Xiao Lang must be on the other side. We have arranged someone, but if we act immediately, our enemies may guess that there is something wrong within them, and in that case the person arranged by Xiao Lang will be in danger."

Lu Chun suddenly realized that Jiang was still very old, and he was indeed a veteran who had been in the business world for decades.

"What my father said is true, but what if the other party makes a fake banknote?"

Lu Dafu said with a smile: "Even if the other party takes action, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it within a month or two. In addition, don't forget, although our branches of Ruifeng Bank are also engaged in lending and storage to ordinary people, their business volume is very small." There are very few, and they are all small-value banknotes. The main business of the bank is those business travelers who are engaged in overseas transactions, so that they can purchase and sell goods. Therefore, the banknotes are mainly concentrated in their hands, and how much they exchange, we All banks have a solid foundation."

This is a good statement. Daqi’s overseas trade is mainly concentrated in coastal areas such as Mingzhou and Jinzhou south of the Yangtze River. This is also the reason why Ruifeng Bank branches are concentrated on Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road. In other words, Ruifeng Bank’s branches are concentrated on Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road. Fengqianzhuang’s customers are relatively fixed.

Lu Chunfei was not a stupid person, so he thought for a moment and said: "If they exchange it with fake banknotes and don't know the semicolon below, they may still suffer losses."[

"Yes, what we are doing now is to make it difficult for the other party to make fake banknotes. Didn't Xiaolang say he needs two months? We will risk delaying it for two months. If it doesn't work, we can use what you just said The solution is to exchange the old banknote with a new one."

Lu Dafu immediately made arrangements to select thirty experts from the Zhenfeng Escort Bureau and rush to Jinjiang to protect the place where the banknotes were printed. At the same time, he would provide personal protection to the few old craftsmen who controlled the core. The name was easy to find. , that is, Ruifeng Bank has a new owner, and everything needs to be renovated. As for the development of new banknotes, there is no rush. There are three sets of spare versions at the bank where banknotes are printed, and printing can be started at any time.

After arranging the banknotes, Lu Dafu of course wanted to ask for news about Lu Qiu. Lu Chun smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Lang has just come back, even making arrangements will take time."

Lu Dafu was dumbfounded: "I'm too impatient. I believe Xiaolang will arrange it. He has the most thoughtful ideas."

"Yes! As soon as I saw Xiaolang, my heart felt much more at ease. Even my father's illness has improved a lot."

"Well, I have to pretend to be in this bed for two more days. Let's do this. Just follow what Xiao Lang said and go to Kaibao Bank. You have to pretend to be more decent and don't reveal your flaws."

Lu Chun smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Lang's plan is good, but acting is too hard."

"You bastard, I was lying on the bed and my body was moldy. I didn't even say a single word of bitterness, but you actually complained. I'm telling you, if something goes wrong, get out of here as long as I don't break your legs." Lu Dafu He scolded with a cold face.

Lu Chun shrank his neck and had no choice but to turn around and go out. Lu Dafu's voice came from behind him: "Just treat me as if I'm about to die, so you can pretend to be more like me."

Lu Chunyi grinned. It seems that this is the only way to use it. What will it look like when I am about to die? It seems that I had that feeling when my father vomited blood a few days ago. Thinking back, I have had real experiences, so it seems not very comfortable to be in the drama. Disaster.

,,,.

On the south bank of the Qinhuai River about a mile away from Yuhua Tower, there is a tall house. People come in and out from time to time, and it is bustling. On the plaque in front of the door, there are four big characters written: "Kaibao Bank".

The business of the bank is booming, and people are coming and going, but in the yard behind the bank, it is another world, full of flowers and plants, green willows, and pleasant scenery. A high wall separates the hustle and bustle in front, making it very quiet. Only the two birdcages hanging under the corridor emitted cheerful cries from time to time.

A round-faced man was looking at the beautiful woman feeding the birds with a smile on his face. He was wearing a newly made cold silk dress. It was not only short and fit, but also slightly tightened at the waist. He looked very energetic.

It's no wonder that Young Master Jian is so proud. The beauty in front of him is capable, considerate, and beautiful. Anyone who marries such a woman will smile from ear to ear. Although his stomach is a little disappointing, after three years of marriage, he still has a lot of money. , but this is not a big problem. Both of them are still young and can easily give birth. The doctor also said that as long as the dates are calculated correctly, there is hope in these two months.

Linghu Xi closed the birdcage, clapped her hands, shook off a few grains of millet on her hands, took the kettle from Second Young Master Jian, and added some water to the cage. Originally, this kind of work could be left to the servants. , but both of them enjoyed the time of feeding the birds very much. They watched the canary in the cage happily pecking at rice and drinking water. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, full of deep affection.

It's a pity that someone stopped the scene. No, the front door was opened, and a fat old man in his fifties ran in, causing a bit of commotion in the front yard.

Second Young Master Jian frowned: "Uncle De, what's the matter?"

"Second Young Master, the young master of Huitong Trading House has been waiting in front for half an hour. Look..." the old man said, wiping his sweat.

"Didn't I tell you that? When the people from Huitong come, tell me that my friend has gone. I won't see him for the time being until he makes two more trips."

"I said it, but Lu Chun said he would wait for you, and it looks like he will continue to wait. I advised him to come back next time, but he shouldn't do it."

Second Young Master Jian pondered for a moment and asked, "How is Lu Chun's face?" [

The old man said hurriedly: "My face is quite ugly. I am restless there. I can't sit still for a while and then walk back and forth. I sigh from time to time. I look very worried. I still haven't left yet because I have to wait for the second young master."

Second Young Master Jian smiled proudly, turned around and said, "Madam, what do you think? Let's meet him now and see what he says."

"Can't meet." Linghu Xi said calmly, as if he was a different person: "There are still ten days left before the date? Now he is just worried, not in a hurry. It will not be easy to talk to him now."

Having said this, Linghu Xi smiled brightly again: "Xi'er listen to my husband. If you see me, I'll see you. If you don't, I'll see you."

Second Young Master Jian laughed. What he was most satisfied with was his wife's attitude. She always puts men first and never oversteps her bounds. This woman is so sensible.

Since what the madam said makes sense, how could Second Young Master Jian not obey? He raised his chest and ordered: "Go and tell Lu Chun that I won't be back until very late. Maybe I won't come back when I'm happy. Tell him not to wait." Already."

The old man responded naturally, and just as he was about to leave, Linghu Xi's voice came again: "Uncle De, please speak more tactfully. In addition, you must serve good tea and water, and you must not be rude."

"Yes, young lady." The old man bowed and trotted away.

Second Young Master Jian gently stroked Linghu Xi's shoulder and couldn't help but said: "With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"

Linghu Xi leaned against her and said with a sweet smile, "Is this my family's pride? Marrying a good husband will make your whole life worth it."

Second Young Master Jian took his wife's delicate body in his arms, raised his head and looked forward, feeling satisfied. If Second Young Master Jian could take a closer look at his wife, he would find that his wife's eyes were staring in the direction where the old man left, very coldly.
