The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs

Lu Jiao stood there with an expression that said "it's none of my business", which made Xing Xuan understand Kuilang's feelings a little.

She pursed her lips and recounted from beginning to end what happened to the three of them in front of Gu Yanning's door.

Yan Yuanhao was at a loss for words for a moment and didn't know how to evaluate Lu Jiao's behavior.

Although he knew that Lu Jiao was telling the truth, that was not how people in the world perceived it!

"How are you going to explain when you see Miss Gu again?"

Lu Jiao raised his eyebrows and said, "What's there to explain? As your subordinate, it's common for me to go out on business and not be around.

Will you explain clearly to her the whereabouts of every one of your subordinates in the future?

Besides, I didn’t show my face, and I didn’t tell her my name, so how could she know who I was?”

Yan Yuanhao had to admit that he was really convinced by her sophistry.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Lu Jiao smiled proudly at Xing Xuan, said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to go to the study and put three red dots on the defense map.

After Grain in Ear, the temperature gradually rises and the air becomes much more humid.

When the plum rain season arrives, the situation in Beijing will become even more uncomfortable.

Fine and dense raindrops fell on Lu Jiao's forehead. She looked up at the clouds in the sky which were not very thick.

I hope this rain won’t affect the grand show at the palace banquet.

But the rain kept drizzling until the afternoon of the fourth day of the New Year.

It’s no wonder that Lu Ze is so concerned, because Lu Jiao promised him that she would take him to the Yongming Canal to watch the dragon boat show.

If the rain continued, Lu Jiao would definitely not allow him to go out.

Fortunately, God seemed to have heard his words.

Just before the sky completely darkened, a large patch of purple-red sunset appeared in the distance.

Lu Ze fell asleep at night, still muttering: "The sunset travels thousands of miles..."

The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of May.

The first thing Lu Ze did when he woke up in the morning was to put on his clothes, rush to the window and look out.

"Brother, brother! The rain has stopped! The sun is out!

Brother, look quickly!"

Just like that, Lu Jiao was dragged up by Lu Ze.

Lu Jiao yawned and followed Lu Ze's pull to the window.

There are a few fish-scale clouds floating in the sky, so it will definitely be a good day today.

She patted Lu Ze on the back and said, "You don't have to go to school today, but you can't fall behind in basic skills. Go!"

"Ah——" Lu Ze's tone was full of disappointment.

He thought that since today was a holiday, he could avoid the morning homework.

"Okay, go now! If you don't practice martial arts well, how can you help your brother Hao in the future?"

"I'm going right now!"

Lu Ze puffed out his chest, walked to the basin, took the towel from Chen Wen, wiped his face a few times, and then went out.

Thinking that they would be going out soon, the three of them just had a small breakfast and did not eat enough.

Xing Xuan also heard about this and came over.

"We have to leave at 16:, and you still need to dress up when you come back. Will you make it in time?"

Nanny Tong had already prepared the clothes that Xing Xuan and Lu Jiao would wear in the evening. They just needed to comb their hair into a bun like an ordinary woman.

Lu Jiao calculated the time and found that he was just in time.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not delay the prince's business."

Xing Xuan looked at Lu Jiao and the others' receding backs with a complicated expression.

Kaiyang walked up to her and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Can you imagine what Lu Jiao looks like in women's clothing?"

This question really touched upon Kaiyang's blind spot in knowledge.

Fortunately, Xing Xuan did not expect Kai Yang's answer, but she did not expect that Kai Yang, the big mouth, turned around and asked several people after Xing Xuan left.

Even Kuilang and Liuhuo were not spared.

For a time, people in Guiyan Pavilion were in unrest.

Some were curious about Lu Jiao's dressing as women, while others thought she was a bit effeminate.

Lu Jiao didn't know that there were a bunch of people waiting for her to return to the Prince's Mansion.

At this time, she, Lu Ze and Chen Wen were sitting in the carriage, rushing towards the first place to eat.

They didn’t forget to pack up after eating, just like elementary school students on a spring outing.

In previous years, the dragon boat race started from Tianquan Lake in the imperial palace Fangli Garden, entered the capital through Jingyao Gate, traversed the entire capital from north to south, and exited from Datongfang.

The total length is about twenty miles.

This year is almost the same, except that the starting point has been changed to the outer city wall.

At this time, all the restaurants and teahouses along the Yongming Canal had been booked on the canal side, and both sides of the bank were crowded with people.

Lu Ze was a little worried: "Brother, with so many people, can we still see the dragon boats?"

Lu Jiao rubbed his head: "Don't worry!"

She directed the coachman to drive the carriage to the back door of a restaurant and knocked on the door three times in a certain rhythm.

After a while, the door opened from the inside.

The waiter asked, "What can I do for you, gentlemen?"

"I'm a friend of your shopkeeper, my last name is Lu."

The waiter immediately smiled: "Sir, you are finally here! Our boss has been waiting for you for a long time!"

The waiter opened the back door, removed the threshold, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage into the backyard.

The coachman was called by the waiter, and Lu Jiao took them directly upstairs from the stairs in the backyard.

As soon as he reached the third floor, Lu Ze saw the man standing in the middle of the hall, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Uncle Zhuo Qi!"

This restaurant is quite large, with three floors in total.

Only the first floor is open to the public.

The second floor was the rooms for Zhuo Qi's subordinates and the accounting office, while Zhuo Qi was the only one living on the entire third floor.

Behind the wall of the main hall on the third floor, Zhuo Qi specially set up a private room for viewing the scenery along the Yongming Canal.

At the beginning, Zhuo Qi took a fancy to this shop and wanted to rent it to open a restaurant.

But the store only sells and does not rent.

He gritted his teeth and bought it with the capital given by Lu Jiao and the money for purchasing a house.

I borrowed money from other brothers to decorate the store.

Now, apart from daily cash flow, Zhuo Qi really can't take out any money.

He felt somewhat nervous, fearing that Lu Jiao would not approve of his approach.

Lu Jiao had heard Lu Wei mention this before, but she didn't take it seriously.

The money originally came from Concubine Shu's palace, so giving it to them was like compensation.

Whether they buy a house or a shop, such a good thing will only happen once.

If Zhuo Qi wants to buy a house and get married in the future, he will have to rely on his own money.

Lu Jiao nodded to Zhuo Qi and gave him affirmation: "This shop has a good location."

It is located between the West Market and the south wall of the inner city, making it very convenient for going to the West Market or leaving the city.

If he really bought it for only 12,000 taels of silver, Zhuo Qi would have made a fortune.

"It won't be a problem."

Zhuo Qi led the three people to the window and invited Lu Ze and Chen Wen to sit down. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "The owner of this shop was also set up by someone.

But the person who set up the scheme was only after money, not to take over the shop, so there is no problem for the time being."

"Maybe those people are also waiting to see if you have the ability or if you have any background."

“That’s what you said, sir.

Therefore, I did not take out the recipe given by the young master, but continued to serve the previous dishes of the store.

At the same time, I was also asking about the local bosses in these markets.

If it's something that can be solved with money, then I won't bother you to step in."
