He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Lu Yan asked him again: "Did he also say which academy he wanted you to go to?"

Lu Sheng nodded: "Let me go to Songyun."

Lu Yan also nodded, feeling that it was expected. Lu Yan had already estimated the strength of the male protagonist. The real neutral faction in the court should be those who were lying down and Qingliu, and most of the remonstrating ministers who seemed to be pure ministers took refuge in the prince.

So it was expected that Qi Yuan asked Lu Sheng to go to Songyun Academy.

Lu Sheng didn't know what Lu Yan was thinking, so he asked her again: "I will go to the academy tomorrow, will you come with me?"

Lu Yan decisively refused: "You go alone, I have something to do."

Lu Sheng was curious: "What do you have to do?"

Lu Yan asked back: "Do you still remember that I told you that there is a girl in the capital who is astonishingly beautiful?"

Lu Sheng nodded: "Of course I remember."

Lu Yan continued: "I'm going to see her tomorrow."

Lu Sheng knew about it, but he didn't have any trouble in his heart, so he could only say: "Okay, then I will go by myself tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Lu Sheng went straight to Songyun Academy.

Lu Sheng took the application form when he came to deliver the good news, and the journey was smooth, and he quickly completed the admission procedures.

Jieyuan, go directly to Class A to study.

Lu Sheng asked about the accommodation in the academy again, and the master who explained it to him took him to the accommodation area and opened a room.

The dormitory in the academy is for two people to a room, but because Lu Sheng arrived late, all the rooms in the front were all allocated, so he happened to have a room to himself, which was quite lucky.

The college's schedule is basically the same as that of the county school, so you don't have to adapt in advance. This is normal, because the academy's schedule is copied from that of the Imperial College, and the hours of public educational institutions such as the Imperial College and county schools are the same.

Lu Yan also left the door and went directly to Honglingfang.

Jian Hongling was in Honglingfang. When Lu Yan came to the door, she was sitting boredly leaning against the window on the third floor. Suddenly she saw a somewhat familiar thin figure walking towards this side. She hesitantly walked downstairs and was catching up. Lu Yan stepped into the door of Honglingfang.

Lu Yan saw Jian Hongling coming downstairs at a glance. She had become even more beautiful after not seeing her for more than two years. She looked like a child before, but now she is a beautiful girl.

Jian Hongling was also very excited to see Lu Yan. She couldn't help shouting on the stairs: "Sister Yan'er!" She sped up a few steps and jumped down the stairs.

Lu Yan was also very happy and quickly stepped forward to pull her together with Jian Hongling.

Jian Hongling looked at Lu Yan, and her voice was choked when she spoke: "Sister Yan'er, I didn't expect to meet you so soon. You have become so beautiful!"

"Do you praise others for their beauty against your will?" Lu Yan stretched out her hand and pinched Jian Hongling's cheek. It was soft and smooth, and felt particularly good: "Who is more beautiful than you in this world?"

Jian Hongling's face turned red, and she didn't know whether it was Lu Yan pinching her or talking about it.

Lu Yan patted Jian Hongling's hand: "Let's get down to business. I came to you this time for business."

Jian Hongling's expression became serious: "What's the matter, tell me."

"You know I'm in the food business." Lu Yan said, "I want to continue to open a shop when I get to the capital, but I'm not familiar with the capital yet, so I want to ask you for advice on where to open my new shop. "

Jian Hongling thought for a while and said: "Where to open it depends on the kind of customers your shop is targeting. For example, if you want to make something high-quality and low-priced so that ordinary people can come to eat, then you have to go to an outer city. If you want to The price is higher and it’s in the inner city.”

"The shop I opened in Hengzhou is a high-quality and low-priced shop. But in the capital, I thought about it and felt that I couldn't take the civilian route." Lu Yan explained: "It is possible for Lu Sheng to become an official in the future. If I take the civilian route, and it’s hard to say whether someone will say that he is competing for profits with the people. I directly bypass the civilians and earn money from the rich and powerful, which can avoid some of this problem."

Jian Hongling gave a thumbs up: "You are awesome! You even thought of this!"

Lu Yan sighed: "In the capital, you have to be more careful. Making the wrong move can be fatal."

"Actually, I was thinking about going high-end in Hengzhou. I told you that I built a hot spring resort," Lu Yan added.

"That's called making money every day. I don't have to worry about anything. Every day, a group of people are rushing to spend money to soak in the hot springs. The melons I grow are also selling well. After I got Zhuangzi, one month was more than mine. Before half a year, I I just knew that I should earn money from rich people, because rich people are really rich."

Jian Hongling nodded and asked Lu Yan: "Then if you don't consider the issue of money, just talk about what you want most, what is your ultimate goal, what do you want to achieve?"

Lu Yan thought for a while: "If money is not a consideration, I hope I can be given a four- or five-story building. There is also a food business on the first and second floors, a lobby on the first floor, private rooms on the second floor, and a drinks and bookstore on the third floor. It’s free to read here, but drinks cost money and there is a minimum consumption; the fourth floor is dedicated to playing chess and board games, and regularly organizes scripted werewolf killings and the like. If there is a fifth floor, you can also engage in escape rooms and crazy unlocks.”

Jian Hongling was stunned when she heard this: "Sister, do you know that there is a five-story building in Xicheng, and you have taken a fancy to that building?"

Lu Yan was also stunned: "Is it really true?!"

"Am I kidding you?" Jian Hongling said, pulling Lu Yan up: "Let's go, I'll take you to see it now."

The two walked for a while and stopped at the five-story building in Xicheng. The decoration of this small building is calm and elegant, and very stylish, but it is deserted and has almost no customers.

Lu Yan looked up and realized that the store called Moju was not a bookstore, but an inn.

Lu Yan looked complicated: "Ah, what's the situation? Why are you opening an inn?"

"Let me tell you, this is Prince Yi's property." Jian Hongling lowered her voice: "Prince Yi, do you know?"

Lu Yan was confused: "Who is Prince Yi?"

"Prince Yi is the emperor's younger brother." Jian Hongling explained: "His mother used to be the maid of the Queen Mother..."

Prince Yi's mother was once the maid of the Queen Mother. When the Emperor was still alive, she once got drunk and had a relationship with Prince Yi's mother, and then Prince Yi was born. At that time, he was not Prince Yi, but the third prince.

Because she was pregnant with a dragon fetus, the maidservant was named a talented person. After the third prince was born, Chang Zai was promoted to concubine, but he was never promoted again throughout his life.

The current emperor is the eldest prince, and the third prince has grown up with the eldest prince. He is very self-aware and has no ambitions.

His mother had taught him for many years that if we could just be idle princes, it would be a matter of smoke rising from our ancestral graves. He really recognized it and slowly grew into a lazy dude.

When the emperor seized the throne, he killed all his brothers, leaving only him. Therefore, Prince Yi is now the only brother of the emperor.

The emperor was very at ease with him and had no other worries except that he was becoming more and more outrageous in his actions, so after learning that Prince Yi had built a five-story building, he directly ordered him not to open a brothel or a gambling house.

Prince Yi thought for a while and simply threw it away. It was built directly into an inn. To run a restaurant, you still need to hire a cook, and to run a bookstore, you need to buy books. If you only have an inn, you don’t have to worry about anything, so you might as well just build an inn.

But he ignored one thing.

Jian Hongling: "How many people living in Xicheng know how to stay in an inn?"

Gradually it became like this.
