Food for the people

These incidents in the morning somewhat affected Deyulou's business, and there were fewer people in the afternoon than in the first two days, but Qiao Yu didn't take it seriously.

According to the current speed, it will not take a few days for everyone to know about the Deyu Tower on West Street, not only ordinary people, but even the dignitaries in Hanyang City should know about it.

When Deyulou opened, the people on West Street were very curious about who the boss was, and there were quite a few people around here this morning, no matter how careful they were, everyone should have heard something, not to mention Lu Jincheng He intended to let everyone know, but did not intentionally conceal it, so everyone exchanged the information they knew with each other, and soon they should know that the owner of Deyulou is actually the future princess of Prince Yan's Mansion.

There were not many guests in Deyulou, and Zhao Kang could come here by himself, so he asked Qiao Yu to go home and rest for a long time. Qiao Yu was a little embarrassed to let Zhao Kang stay here alone, but his eyes fell on Lu Jin through the curtain. After presenting it to him, he changed his mind again and agreed with Zhao Kang after a few words.

The past few days are always busy from day to night, Qiao Yu finally got this half-day free, he didn't want to do anything, he didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to stay with Lu Jincheng, he made up his mind, and opened the The curtain went to the outside of the hall, and Lu Jincheng was sitting behind the counter, paying people. His slender fingers moved the mahogany-colored abacus beads, and the corners of Qiao Yu's mouth couldn't help but curl up as he watched.

Lu Jincheng was proficient as if he had been an accountant for half his life. After paying the bill, he collected the money and changed the money. After collecting the money, he said without raising his head, "Does it look good? If you look at it again, I will give it to you." Silver."

"Looks good, here, the prince who can see me will be my accountant, and I will give you any money." Qiao Yu laughed and said, while reaching out to touch his waist, wanting to give Lu Jincheng some money.

However, after groping for a while, he remembered that he had handed over all the scattered money on his body to Lu Jincheng and asked him to put it in the treasury last night.

Lu Jincheng looked at him from bottom to top, rubbed his brows with his thumb and smiled, "What's the matter? Qiaoer can't get any money?"

Seeing that he was serious, Qiao Yu also cooperated and said, "Not today, but tomorrow, I will give you twice as much tomorrow."

Lu Jincheng narrowed his eyes and said, "This is not possible."

Before Qiao Yu could speak, he said, "Today's business is over today. Since it is owed to me today, Qiaoer will naturally pay it back to me today. If there is no money, let's exchange it for something else."

As Lu Jincheng spoke, his eyes slid along Qiao Yu's lips to his neck, and then all the way down, into his collar.

If his gaze had any substance, it made half of Qiao Yu's body numb, and the base of his ears turned red again. He let out an ah, and didn't dare to continue the topic, changing the subject: "The Wen family The father and son made a fuss and drove away many of my customers, so I shouldn’t be particularly busy in the afternoon, Zhao Kang said that he can be alone, I’ll come out and ask you, is there any place you want to go?”

Lu Jincheng smiled: "No, will Qiao Er come back home with me?"

Qiao Yu: ...

Lu Jincheng said with a smile: "I'm just talking to you, you finally have half a day free, go to Lanfangyuan to listen to a play."

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yu blinked and said to Lu Jincheng, "What show are you listening to? Isn't the prince going back to the mansion? Let's go."

Lu Jincheng: ...

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "In this case, I should really let that Wen Shaolin go."

Qiao Yu'er was flushed, but there was no clue on his face, and he said solemnly: "I think the prince should thank me."

Lu Jincheng nodded: "Thank you, thank you again."

After he finished speaking, he got up suddenly, pulled Qiao Yu into the carriage waiting outside Deyu Tower, and when he got in, he pressed her firmly into his arms, and thanked him well.

The carriage drove back to Prince Yan's mansion in the clear sky, but never came out again.

Qiao Yu fell into a deep sleep when the moonlight was shining, and whispered in Lu Jincheng's ear before falling asleep, "It's not worth it..."

What's not worth it?Of course, it is not cost-effective to rest. Not only is it equivalent to no rest, but it is even more tiring than working in Deyulou.

Five days later, Lu Jincheng went to the palace again, and the queen mother summoned him, saying that the auspicious days for Qin Tianjian had been calculated, and three were selected, and the queen mother and Lu Jincheng were asked to discuss the results together.

Of course, Lu Jincheng had to make up his mind on this matter. When he entered Duanyang Palace, the queen mother and emperor were already waiting in the palace.

As soon as Lu Jincheng entered the palace, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, and before Lu Jincheng sat down beside her, she said in a deep voice, "What? Ai's family is a scourge. On a day like today, You didn't bring him to meet Ai's family either?"

The emperor sat beside the empress dowager and was drinking tea from a cup. Hearing this, he took a sip of the tea in the cup, put down the cup and said, "The empress mother has seen him once, but I still don't know what Qiao Sheng has grown into. What kind of look."

The queen mother couldn't tell that the emperor was speaking for Lu Jincheng, she snorted, stretched her brows a little, and said, "There's no need to worry about that, your appearance is very good, but your brother is so tight, even We can't see it."

She blamed her in her words, but she didn't seem to have any emotion towards Qiao Yu. It was like an ordinary father and mother wanted to see their daughter-in-law. That is, he entered the palace with me, and now he is waiting in Mingxuan Pavilion."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was taken aback: "You brought him here?"

Lu Jincheng shook his head and said, "He wants to come by himself."

The emperor was startled when he heard the words, and smiled after a while: "Look, queen mother, he is not afraid of you at all."

The queen mother also picked up the tea at hand, pinched the lid of the cup with one hand, gently brushed off the tea leaves on the tea, and said: "He will call my mother queen with Yan'er in the future, so he shouldn't be afraid of me, he should be afraid of me." What to do? Can I still eat him?"

The last time she saw this child, she knew he was brave, but she never thought that he was not only brave, but also careful. Thinking about it this way, he was like her son, which made her like it a little.

Qiao Yu was lying on the couch in Mingxuan Pavilion looking at the picture book. He had already finished reading the picture book about the love between a human and a monster. Now he saw that this book was about a human fairy, which was a bit like the story about Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies he had read when he was a child. It seems that no matter what the historical traces are, everyone has different ideas about love stories.

He flipped through a few pages of a picture book, and just saw Dong Yong... the person in the picture book meeting the fairy, when he heard Sanqi knocking on the door hurriedly outside.

He responded, Sanqi hurriedly opened the door and came in, stood behind the screen and said: "Young master, Mr. De, who is in front of the empress dowager, is here, and he said he is asking you to come over."

Hearing this, Qiao Yu suddenly turned up from the couch, threw the drawing book aside, straightened her clothes, and said, "Let's go."

The reason why he followed Lu Jincheng was because he thought the queen mother would want to see him today.

Although the queen mother took him into the palace without saying a word, and tried to persuade him to leave Lu Jincheng, she didn't really hurt him. To put it more strictly, the queen mother didn't want to hurt him at all, and then He easily agreed to his marriage with Lu Jincheng. Although Lu Jincheng's contribution accounted for most of it, Qiao Yu still liked the Queen Mother quite a bit.

Therefore, no matter whether the Queen Mother wanted to see him or not, he planned to ask Lu Jincheng to let him meet the Queen Mother.

Of course, there is also Lu Jincheng's own brother, His Majesty the current emperor of Yang Kingdom with pure blood.

So at this moment, Sanqi said that the empress dowager wanted to see him, which was actually in Qiao Yu's expectation.

He led Sanqi, and together with Eunuch De, entered Duanyang Palace from Mingxuan Pavilion.

As soon as Qiao Yu entered the hall, Lu Jincheng's gaze passed through the screen and landed on Qiao Yu's body as if he had sensed it. Then Eunuch De sang shrillly beside him: "Mother, Queen Mother, Mr. Qiao is here."

The queen mother's voice sounded from behind the screen, she didn't look old, but her voice was deep and majestic, and there was a bit of jealousy: "Okay, you don't need to report, as soon as you enter the palace, there are people here I have already seen it, people have a good heart, and you can see it without you saying it."

Qiao Yu couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself: Why is this like a mother-in-law who snatches her son from her daughter-in-law? Although Qiao Yu felt a bit awkward when he used himself to describe his daughter-in-law, but when he thought about it, there was only a little bit left in his heart. The tension dissipated, too.

Qiao Yu walked around the screen, walked in front of the three of them, saluted the queen mother and the emperor one by one, and finally straightened up, looked at Lu Jincheng, and smiled at him.

Only then did the emperor see Qiao Yu's appearance clearly, and he smiled for a while and said, "The empress mother is right, you don't need to worry about your appearance."

Qiao Yu looked at Lu Jincheng and said with a smile, "Don't worry about not only the appearance, but also everything else."

The emperor was taken aback, then looked at the queen mother, laughed and said: "The queen mother said that you are bold, I didn't believe it at first, but now I look at it, you really have the courage, come here, don't hesitate to give me a seat."

The eunuch and maid moved the stool to Lu Jincheng's side with great winking, and served refreshments one by one.

Only then did the queen mother say: "Since everyone is here, let's discuss business matters quickly."

The queen mother waved to Aunt Guanqiu who was behind her, and Aunt Guanqiu took a step forward, took out the three red envelopes she was holding, opened them one by one and placed them in front of them.

There is a piece of red paper in the red envelope, and several dates are written on the red paper with golden pen and ink, which are July 28th, August [-]th and September [-]rd.

These three are all auspicious days selected by Qin Tianjian after combining their birthday charts and horoscopes. The earliest date is only a month away from now. If it is really done, the time is a bit too tight. After Qin Tianjian calculated this date, he had already told the Empress Dowager that if it is a big deal, the next two days must be more suitable, but even though he said so, it was still for Lu Jincheng to choose.

"These three days are very suitable, but the [-]th of July is less than a month away. Even if the Ministry of Rites hastened the preparations, the time is too rushed. The next two days are still suitable. You can see for yourself."

After Qiao Yu looked at the three days written on it, he turned his head to look at Lu Jincheng again. The two looked at each other, exchanged their thoughts, and then stretched out their fingers together, pointing to one of the three red papers.

"This one."

"This one."

The two spoke in unison, and Qiao Yu thought that Lu Jincheng and him should have chosen the same day, but after making the selection, he found that he had chosen July 28th, and Lu Jincheng had chosen August [-]th.

He looked up suspiciously, but Lu Jincheng looked at him with deep eyes, and said, "The day is too rushed, I'm afraid Xu's twelve can't carry the sedan chair."

Qiao Yu instantly understood.

A sedan chair can naturally be made, but Lu Jincheng doesn't want to wrong him and wants to give him the best.

"Don't be afraid, if you don't have twelve sedan chairs, you can carry me into the palace." Qiao Yu also said with a smile.

He didn't care if there was a sedan chair or not, and he didn't care whether Lu Jincheng was the lower Lord Yan, he just liked this person, so much that Qiao Yu was willing to marry him even if he had nothing.

Lu Jin rolled his Adam's apple, looked at Qiao Yu as if he was about to pull him tightly into his arms, and said, "Okay, don't carry the sedan chair by Twelve, I will personally carry you across Xuande Gate."
