Lu Chenshuang said goodbye to Mu Hansu after leaving Tianxiang Tower.

Mu Hansu looked at Lu Chenshuang for a long time before speaking: "You don't have to take their words to heart."

Lu Chenshuang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I never take insignificant people to heart, let alone their words."

Mu Hansu felt relieved when he heard this.

He was now certain that Lu Chenshuang had no feelings for Jing Zhaoyan, or to be more precise, at least she had no feelings for him right now.

Thinking of this, Mu Hansu felt particularly good.

Then he said to Lu Chenshuang: "Go back. I will come to find you when I have time."

Lu Chenshuang just thought that Mu Hansu was being polite to her, so she just nodded twice and got away with it.

Lu Chenshuang returned home and went straight back to her room.

When Xiaoman and Guyu saw Lu Chenshuang coming back, they hurried to massage her shoulders and back.

Xiaoman looked at Lu Chenshuang with sympathy and asked, "Girl, it must be boring to have dinner with the prince, right?"

Lu Chenshuang agreed with Xiaoman's words, and then said: "Isn't it true? Mu Hansu didn't say a word during the meal.

I don't know whether he is a stickler for not talking while eating or sleeping or he just doesn't want to talk to me.

I was trembling with fear after the meal. I couldn't even enjoy the delicious food at Tianxianglou.

Especially after dinner, I met Jing Zhaoyan and Liu Anran, that couple.

The two of them almost made me vomit my disgusting lunch.

Next time I will definitely check the almanac before going out. Otherwise, who can stand it if it happens every time? "

Xiaoman and Guyu are the people Lu Chenshuang is closest to, and she would complain to them whenever she catches them.

Xiaoman and Guyu looked at Lu Chenshuang with even more sympathy.

They didn't dare to say anything bad about Mu Hansu, but they caught Jing Zhaoyan and Liu Anran and scolded them.

After the three of them cursed for a while, Lu Chenshuang finally felt relaxed and thought about the important things.

So he asked, "Are your uncle and cousin at home?"

Guyu quickly replied: "I'm at home. I heard that my uncle and cousin didn't go out today.

Miss, do you want to see them? I will go and invite them for you."

Lu Chenshuang waved her hand to stop her and said, "My uncle is the elder. It is unreasonable for an elder to meet a younger person. I will change my clothes and go meet my uncle and his family."

Xiaoman and Guyu quickly agreed after hearing this and helped Lu Chenshuang change clothes.

Besides, Lin Shen and Lin Ziyuan did not go out.

The father and son were hiding in the room discussing something.

Lin Shen sighed and said, "If it really doesn't work, let's just give up this election.

We have been running around for so many days and haven't even seen the person in charge. We have spent a lot of money though."

Lin Ziyuan said: "Dad, are we really giving up like this?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can make this deal happen, our family's position in Linzhou City will be secure.

Maybe even the prefect will give us some leeway."

Lin Shen sighed and replied: "I know that too.

But we don’t have any connections, so we can’t even find a way to give gifts.

This is a royal business, and it is not easy to do. "

Lin Ziyuan thought for a moment and said, "Dad, you can go ask your cousin. She has been in the capital for such a long time, she must know some powerful people.

As long as she makes the introduction for us, we can do the rest on our own."

Lin Ziyuan was remembering that the Queen Mother sent someone to give Lu Chenshuang a reward a few days ago.

Lin Shen seemed a little moved, but then shook his head and said, “No, it’s already hard enough after Shuang’er’s divorce.

We can't make things difficult for her because of these things. At worst, we can just not do this business.

Anyway, our Lin family has more money than we can spend in this lifetime."

Seeing that Lin Shen refused, Lin Ziyuan had no choice.

His father has always doted on his cousin, and his cousin had just been divorced and was in a bad mood. How could she have the energy to help them with these things?

Besides, even if my cousin knows the empress dowager, so what? There is a rule in our dynasty that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

Thinking of this, Lin Ziyuan stopped thinking about it.

Just when the father and son were sitting in silence, a servant came back to report that Lu Chenshuang had arrived.

Lin Shen quickly put away his expression and asked someone to invite Lu Chenshuang in.

He also gave Lin Ziyuan a warning look.

Lin Ziyuan was speechless. His father was afraid that he would mention this matter in front of his cousin. Was he such a fool?

Lu Chenshuang walked in and said with a smile: "I thought my uncle and cousin went out again?"

Lin Shen smiled and said, "I have been running around outside for several days, so I will take a rest at home today.

Your cousin and I plan to return to Linzhou in a few days."

Lu Chenshuang glanced at the two of them and said, "Isn't my uncle going to do the food supply business? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Lin Shen laughed twice and said, "We came here just to join in the fun. With so many people competing for business, I'm afraid there won't be much profit to be made."

Although Lin Shen said so, everyone knows that doing royal business is not for making money, but for the benefits that the title of royal merchant brings to the family.

Once you become a royal merchant, other merchants will naturally come to you, and there will be great opportunities to make money.

Moreover, their status will be greatly improved, and no one will look down on them for being merchants anymore.

If Lu Chenshuang can understand this truth, then Lin Shen must understand it too.

They probably thought about returning to Linzhou because they really felt there was no hope.

Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Then I suggest that uncle go back a few days later."

Lin Shen looked at Lu Chenshuang with some confusion, thinking that she was reluctant to leave him, and was just about to say something to comfort her.

Then Lu Chenshuang spoke again: "I went to see the princess today, and heard that Duke Rong is in charge of the military food supply.

I still have some favor with the eldest princess.

So he told the princess about his uncle's plan to supply food and fodder.

The eldest princess also promised me that she would help introduce me.

I have already made an appointment with the Princess to take you to the Duke of Rong's Mansion to meet the Duke of Rong tomorrow."

Lin Shen and Lin Ziyuan were extremely excited when they heard this.

Lin Shen took Lu Chenshuang's hand and said, "Shuang'er, uncle really doesn't know what to say."

Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Uncle, we are a family, so we shouldn't talk behind each other's backs.

It’s just that the princess agreed to introduce you to Duke Rong, but the follow-up will depend on your uncle and cousin.”

Lin Ziyuan on the side said: "Of course, if we don't have this strength, our Lin family wouldn't dare to take on this kind of royal work.

My cousin, you have done us the greatest favor by introducing Duke Rong to me."

Lin Shen nodded upon hearing this.

In addition, Lu Chenshuang told the Lin father and son that Lu Zhan might be transferred to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Lin Shen and Lin Ziyuan were even happier when they heard this.

Even if they and Lu Zhan are not relatives, he is still their brother-in-law, so they will have someone in the court from now on.
