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

The Chu family is not too far away from the Lu family. Lu Yan didn't drive a carriage when she came here, and she planned to walk back when she returned.

Lu Sheng didn't know whether he really drank too much or was just pretending to be drunk. Lu Yan asked directly: "Are you really drunk or just pretending?"

Lu Sheng didn't expect Lu Yan to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment and replied weakly, smelling of alcohol: "I really drank too much."

Lu Yan chuckled: "I think you are just pretending. People who really drink too much say they don't drink too much."

Lu Sheng choked and defended: "No, you don't know that I have been drinking today. I am really in a complicated mood today."

Lu Yan asked him: "Chu Tiankuo is getting married, why are you feeling complicated?"

"I'm happy for him, and a little envious." Lu Sheng said, "Not only is Chu Tiankuo getting married, but did you know that Song Bowen is also getting married?"

Lu Yan was really surprised this time: "Ah? When? Why didn't he say anything?"

"Last month, when we were still in Jingzhou." Lu Sheng said: "The date he set when he received Chu Tiankuo's message was that it would take more than twenty days to go back and forth from the capital to Hengzhou. We are now on duty at the court. It’s unrealistic to ask for more than 20 days’ leave to return to Hengzhou, so he just wants to tell us when he comes over.”

Lu Yan nodded clearly. They are different now from the past. They can't go wherever they want. It's okay to ask for three or five days' leave, but it's too much to ask for nearly a month? At this time, Lu Yan began to miss modern trains again, and they could go anywhere in a day or two.

Lu Sheng continued: "Chu Tiankuo is getting married, Song Bowen is getting married too, I'm envious!"

Lu Yan: "It's okay, Xue Zhuoyuan is alone with you."

Lu Sheng shook his head: "He and I are different, and he doesn't like anyone."

Lu Yan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this was just a nod to herself, so she avoided the topic: "Then if you want to get married, go back and ask your mother to find someone for you. The youngest man in the Dali Dynasty, who is still in the emperor's heart, is talented. If you are handsome and promising, aren’t there a lot of girls who want to marry you?”

Lu Sheng hummed, "What's the use? A lot of girls want to marry me, but the one I want to marry doesn't want to marry me."

Lu Yan laughed dryly and threatened Lu Sheng: "If you bring up such a sensitive topic again, you can just walk back by yourself."

Lu Sheng patted his mouth: "Okay, okay, no more."

The two of them walked back to Lu's house in silence, washed up and went to sleep.

Song Bowen went to Busi Shu to find Lu Yan the next day, and brought her the income earned from the shop and hot spring resort in Hengzhou.

Lu Yan put the banknotes in her arms and spoke to Song Bowen: "I heard that you got married? Why didn't you bring your wife with you this time?"

"I invited her, but she rejected me. I walked back and forth for more than half a month and stayed for two or three days before leaving. She thought it was too much trouble." Song Bowen waved his hand: "And she is busy. Since we became Dear, my father takes her with him when doing business. She has started running several shops in the family. Recently, she and my father are discussing opening a shop in Hengyun City. She is busier than me. I can run out for a month, and she is very embarrassed. .”

Lu Yan gave a thumbs up: "That's great." It sounds like Song Bowen's wife is a person with a strong sense of self. She will be firm in her own ideas and refuse to do anything she doesn't want to do. If she is capable and ambitious, her marriage will be better. Didn't bury her.

Song Bowen mentioned that his daughter-in-law is still a little proud, but he still said modestly: "I'm still not as good as you. Your stall in the capital is so big, and all you come into contact with are dignitaries, people we will never come into contact with in our lives." .”

Lu Yan waved her hand: "Just because someone comes to my restaurant to have a meal, it doesn't mean that they are my network resources. No matter how high-ranking officials or dignitaries I see, I am just a restaurant owner."

The two chatted for a long time, exchanged a few words about nothing, and then parted ways. Song Bowen stayed in the capital for two days and then returned to Hengzhou.

September is coming soon, and grain and tax taxes have been raised in various places. It was also the time when the prince went to Liaozhou every year to deliver grain and grass.

Lu Yan had long made up her mind to go on a trip with the prince this year. Lu Sheng had learned Beidi for several months, and his communication skills had improved by leaps and bounds. He also went to ask for the order and went with the food delivery team as an interpreter.

Princess Yi knew that Lu Yan was going to Liaozhou. She was so excited that she wanted to go with Lu Yan, but Prince Yi stopped her. The two of them packed up a bunch of things and asked Lu Yan to take them with her. When Lu Yan went to see them, she was shocked.

Prince Yi and Princess Yi prepared dozens of items, ranging from daily necessities to decorations and food, in a dowry manner. In the past, when the prince sent food, they never thought of letting him bring something with him, but since he was doing business, it was hard to bring such a large amount of private goods, so at most, he just asked him to bring some clothes and jewelry.

Lu Yan was really scared. It might take half a year to take this bunch of people on the road. She dragged the two of them and streamlined them, leaving only about the amount of a carriage.

Lu Yan also prepared a lot for this trip to Liaozhou. The distance from Beijing to Liaozhou is almost five times that from Beijing to Hengzhou. It takes nearly two months to travel, so we must not deal with it hastily.
