Farmer Fubo is open for business

Because the current emperor is a bit lame, he was once disliked by the late emperor.

If he hadn't held the title of legitimate eldest son, the late emperor would have made Prince Rui, the second son of Fengshenjunyi, the crown prince.

Because of this, even though King Rui was granted a vassal status, he was not allowed to move to the fiefdom.

After thinking about this, Lu Jingzhou suddenly worried that Chang'an's family would be implicated.

After all, Chang'an's father was a military general in Yandi. If someone were to accuse him of colluding with the prince to conspire against him, even Wu Zhonglou might not be able to escape the fate of being executed.

Thinking of this, Lu Jingzhou had a headache.

no! We must find a way to send Wu Zhonglou out of the capital first. It is best to serve as a local magistrate near Yandi, and then let the Chang'an family follow.

If there is any trouble, they can find a way to escape.

Lu Jingzhou thought about the current Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and maybe he could find him to smoothen the relationship.

He leaned out of the carriage and said to the boy who was following him: "Dake up, go to Haitang Garden. I have something important to do and I can't go to the banquet for the time being. Please forgive me, Mrs. Song."

"Yes! I will definitely bring the young master's wishes to you!"

So Da Xing took the order and went to Haitang Garden.

In Haitang Garden, as soon as Da woke up and left, Mrs. Jiang called Mrs. Wu and Wu Zhonglou Song Sanshun to sit down and have dinner: "Master Lu is not here because he has something to do, let's have a meal too."

Wu Zhonglou was a little regretful. Although they were both in the capital and working at the Imperial City Yamen, they could not meet each other.

After finally taking a break, I thought we could get together, but my little master was busy with something, alas.

In contrast to Wu Zhonglou's loss, Chang'an, Zhang Yuyan and several young people were talking and laughing. After dinner, the children went to the lotus pond in the backyard to pick apricots.

It's a pity that the apricots are not yet fully ripe, so they taste a bit sour.

Chang'an likes the sweet and sour taste and can eat several at a time.

Minghui took a bite of a sour apricot, her eyes and nose clenched together, and her tears were almost sore: "Hey, sister Chang'an, how can you keep it in your mouth?"

Zhang Yuyan tried one but did not dare to eat it again. She told Chang'an about the gossip: "The capital is very lively these days. Every family is busy with banquets. They are all hosting this year's newly minted unmarried Jinshi. The little sisters who used to be close to me are also They were all dragged to the banquet by their families."

Minghui blinked and asked, "Sister Yuyan, have you invited Jinshi to your family for a banquet?"

But she had heard her mother-in-law say that if the marriages of children of the royal clan had not been arranged by the clan government, she would have wanted to use this method to select a son-in-law in the future.

"No." Zhang Yuyan's pretty face turned slightly red and she said, "I haven't even got a hairpin yet, so why should I invite a Jinshi to a banquet?"

In fact, my father had mentioned this to my mother, saying that Lu Jingzhou was good and of a similar age, but many high-ranking officials in the court were interested in him, and even several people in the cabinet wanted to marry their girls to him.

Although her family had a title, it was not impressive compared to those others, so Aniang gave up the idea and just asked her to spend more time with Chang'an.

Because Chang'an's uncle was Lu Jingzhou's apprentice, and the two had a close relationship. Lu Jingzhou often came to Chang'an's house as a guest, and Aniang hoped that by coming here, she might be able to take advantage of him.

Zhang Yuyan understood what A Niang meant, but she had no interest in Lu Jingzhou who spoke with a draconian tone. Instead, she felt that Wu Zhonglou was better.

It's just that Wu Zhonglou is a little older, and my parents don't think he can wait for her to grow up, so they don't consider him as a candidate.

"Chang'an, why don't we set up a shop to sell water?" Zhang Yuyan sat next to the pool, bending down to sip the clear water: "Several sisters said that your water is good and the tea is better."

Chang'an: "Okay, but there are already several water houses in Beijing. Can we sell them?"

Several water houses in the capital also specialize in selling water. All water is transported from the mountains dozens of miles outside the capital, and the buyers are nobles from various aristocratic families.

It is said that the palace also purchases water from those water houses. If he gets involved at this time, he will definitely be targeted by the owners of the water houses.

Just own a three-wheel shop and make money. The business of selling water is thankless and completely unnecessary.

Zhang Yuyan thought for a while and shook her head: "Let's forget it."

Although this water is good, but others don’t recognize it, if only a few of my little sisters buy it, then they still have to lose money?

Moreover, behind several water houses in the capital were either relatives or eunuchs in charge of the palace, who could not afford to offend even their own families.

The children chatted for a while, until the sun set in the west, Zhang Yuyan left with her younger brother.

Minghui also returned home with her brother Mingyang, and Haitang Garden suddenly became quiet.

Chang'an and his little sister Changning were also tired, so they washed up early and went to bed to rest.

After May, the weather starts to get hotter.

The emperor took the queen, concubines and a group of courtiers to the summer resort to escape the summer heat.

Several princes and princes from the capital also accompanied him, and Mingyang was forced to follow, leaving only Minghui and the princess in the palace.

The scene of the emperor's departure from Beijing was very grand. Standing at the door of his home, Chang'an saw pairs of fluttering colorful flags passing by the entrance of the alley.

Various splendid canopies are like colorful clouds, slowly floating over accompanied by the sound of drum music.

The most festive thing is the tricycles in the shape of mythical beasts, which seem to be some kind of ceremonial guard, clearing the way in front, and there are also three wheels behind.

The people riding the three wheels are all powerful imperial guards, and the ministers and their families should be sitting on the carriages.

Chang'an watched for a while and suddenly came up with an idea. If these tricycles were modified and a sail was added to them so that the wind could blow the sails, wouldn't it save a lot of effort?

In the past few months, Changan has made a lot of money again, totaling over 100,000 yuan from before.

Chang'an has not yet decided how to use such a large amount of money. He just bought a lot of accessories for his family.

She also exchanged some gold ingots from the money shop and hid them in the cracks in the wall of her house, totaling more than fifty taels.

"Chang'an, it's your tenth birthday in a few days. What do you want? I'll buy it for you."

Zhao Yuan had long remembered Chang'an's birthday firmly, and now he could finally buy something for her, and he was very much looking forward to it.

Changan felt that he had nothing he wanted.

Now my uncle, aunt, and little sister are all in the capital, and Huahua and two dogs are also here. I have no shortage of money, and it seems that I have reached the peak of my life.

My only regret is that I didn't get to see my dad.

"You don't need to buy anything." Chang'an said seriously: "I don't lack anything." This is the truth.

Zhao Yuan was a little depressed when he heard this, but he quickly cheered up.

He thought for a while and took the gold painting to a gold and jade jewelry store.

Now that the emperor is out of Beijing to escape the summer heat, business in the capital seems to have suddenly become depressed. Gold and jade jewelry shops have put up discount signs, and anyone who comes to buy gold and jade jewelry can get a silk flower as a gift.

Zhao Yuan walked into the shop and said to the waiter: "Take out your best jewelry and let me have a look."

The waiter took a moment to look at the young man and saw that his clothes were extraordinary and the accessories around his waist were also very expensive. He immediately agreed and went back to the shop to call the shopkeeper and ask him to bring out several sets of jade and gold jewelry.

These heads and faces can be added or removed, and as long as you have money, you can buy a set of twenty or thirty pieces.

Zhao Yuan thought that Chang'an was still a little girl, so he selected twenty-eight pieces of jewelry for girls and matched them into a set of hair and face.

There are four gold-inlaid emerald flower hairpins, a pair of gold-inlaid lapis lazuli comb backs, two pairs of emerald earrings, two pairs of small dragonfly hairpins, and two golden fairy hairpins for Magu's birthday, which are inserted in the front of the bun. center ornament.

There are also gold and jade headbands, Huasheng, necklaces and bracelets.

"How much do these cost?" Zhao Yuan asked the shopkeeper after selecting them.

The shopkeeper took the abacus over and scratched it, and said: "Chenghui, these total 2,820 taels."

"It's so expensive? Can't it be less?" Jin Hua was also shocked by the price and couldn't help but interject: "Our young master bought it as a gift. You don't want to raise the price randomly."

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes at him, then pulled the abacus, "Then take off the twenty-two cents, and there must be no less left. My shop has been in business for decades, and I am a good boy. Don't talk nonsense, little brother."

Jin Hua did not believe his lies and kept asking for less, but the shopkeeper refused to let go.

Zhao Yuan didn't want to delay, so he took out a wad of silver notes from his arms, counted them and handed them to the shopkeeper: "There are two thousand eight hundred taels in total. You can bring the silk flowers."

The shopkeeper took the money and before he could say anything, he heard a sharp female voice: "Wait a minute!" (End of Chapter)
