In the morning, after Li Ziyou returned to the garment pavilion after the court meeting, Chu Qingluo found a chance to meet her.

"Sister Ziyou, I want to tell you about setting up a stage." Chu Qingluo expressed his intention.

Li Ziyou: "This matter of setting up the stage is under the jurisdiction of Ji Jie, if you have any special requirements, you have to mention it to her." ”

"Yes, thank you, Sister Ziyou." Seeing that Li Ziyou didn't want to help her solve the problem, Chu Qingluo had to figure out a way by herself.

Li Ziyou looked at Chu Qingluo's departing back, and a mysterious smile rose at the corner of her mouth. She just deliberately didn't help Chu Qingluo come forward to do this, wanting to see if she could succeed so that she could make the next bet......

Chu Qingluo had just come out of the garment pavilion when he bumped into the fifth prince outside the door.

"Qingluo!" Ji Qili was stunned at first, and then came up to greet her enthusiastically.

"The Five Princes." Chu Qingluo saluted as usual.

"Where are you going?" I've always wanted to find a chance to meet her, but I have no excuse. I was just wandering outside the garment pavilion when I happened to run into her coming out.

"I'm going to Guangrentang."

"It just so happens that I'm going there too, let's go together." Ji Qili planned to think about what he was going to do in Guangrentang as he walked.

Chu Qingluo had doubts, why did these five princes go to Guangrentang, why did they still pass through the Garment Pavilion? It wasn't an easy road at all......

At first, the two didn't say anything all the way......

"That...... How are the preparations for the Dresshouse dedication? Ji Qili tried to talk to her.

"I'm almost ready." She asked and answered. Although it didn't have a straight face, it was still a little faint.

"I heard that the first day/day was held and the ceremony?" Ji Qili asked cautiously, for fear that she would be unhappy and regain her previous indifference.

Chu Qingluo glanced at him...... It seems that the little things on the streets of Yancheng can not only blow all over the streets and alleys, but also the strict palace walls. She replied, "Yes." ”

“…… Congratulations. ”

"Thank you."

Ji Qili didn't know why her mouth became so clumsy when she was in front of her. Your mind will go blank and you won't know what to say or do.

The head of Guangrentang is Ji Jie, a female official of the sixth rank. In this palace, all big and small things are indispensable to deal with her.

Ji Jie looks to be in her thirties, with high cheekbones and a long face. Chu Qingluo went up first and saluted, and introduced himself: "Lord Ji, down is Chu Qingluo from the Garment Pavilion." ”

Ji Jie nodded at Chu Qingluo, and his gaze quickly shifted to Ji Qili: "Fifth prince, what is the matter with you coming to me?" She had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes.

"Uh...... Little things, little things. You and Lord Chu are busy with business first, and I'll go around the courtyard. Ji Qili hadn't come up with an excuse yet, so he slipped out first.

"Okay." Ji Jie was still smiling brightly. waited until even Ji Qili's shadow was completely invisible, and then turned around: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"It's about the stage of the summer festival, can it be built into a cross shape?" Considering the various spectators in the audience, Chu Qingluo did not plan to use a conventional T-shaped catwalk.

"How is this possible? It has always been a square stage for music and dance. Ji Jie refused without thinking about it.

"Then do you think this will work, the southeast and northwest of that square platform, help us build a platform that is fifteen feet long and six feet wide, will it be done?"

Ji Jie frowned slightly: "Why is it so complicated?" ”

"It's not complicated, really, I can draw it for you."

“…… It's too much trouble for you to make a garment shop, and it's going to make it hard for me. Ji Jie didn't say no, but she didn't say she could do it.

Chu Qingluo was very troubled by Ji Jie's ambiguous attitude. She is the kind of old fritter who talks about people and talks about ghosts. This kind of person is the most calculating, and likes to think about everything in the direction of whether it is good for her. Who knows what she wants, money? How much does that have to her liking?

Could it be that I have to contribute not only effort but also money for this gift? In the end, the credit is also Li Ziyou's, she can't get any benefits and still lose money? Depend on! Don't do a discounted business! But Taiwan still has to be built...... She'll have to think about it again......

Pregnant! Didn't this old fritter keep his eyes on his mind when he first saw Ji Qili? Maybe he'll be able to help her a lot today. Thinking of this, Chu Qingluo sighed: "Master Ji, there was something just now, I think I have to sue you." Her voice was deliberately low, pretending to be mysterious.

Ji Jiehu glanced at her suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”

Chu Qingluo: "When I came just now, I happened to meet the fifth prince, and he said......" She deliberately lengthened the tail note to arouse people's appetite.

"What did he say??" Ji Jie's eager tone confirmed Chu Qingluo's judgment.

"He said he especially didn't like the spices that Guangrentang sent him!" Since you want to do it, you have to do it endlessly! I went to every prince's palace before and smelled incense, but Ji Qili didn't have it.

"However, he once said that he was allergic to spices......" Ji Jie questioned.

"That's a polite word, the truth is that he's very unhappy with the spices you've sent." Chu Qingluo especially emphasized the word 'very', and continued to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

Ji Jie still didn't believe it: "Then he can tell me that there are so many varieties of spices, just let him choose." ”

"The five princes are considerate, and they don't want to cause trouble to the adults, but the new clothes for the grand ceremony are ready, and they always have to take some spices back to smoke the clothes, so as not to be rude in front of the saints, so they came to Guangren Hall." Chu Qingluo made it up, and even believed it.

"That's it......" Ji Jie was obviously fooled into it by her, and began to think about what spices to match for Ji Qili.

Chu Qingluo saw her serious thinking expression, smiled secretly, and said, "The fifth prince said that he likes a refreshing taste." ”

"Refreshed?" Ji cleanses the face with a difficult color.

Chu Qingluo stepped forward again: "Mint is very refreshing." ”

When Ji Jie heard this, she suddenly opened: "That's right." That's simple, and I'll have someone mix the dried powder of mint into spices and send it to him. ”

"Your Excellency is wise." Chu Qingluo continued to pat his ass.

"Thank you for the reminder." Ji Jie's attitude eased a lot, looked at Chu Qingluo, and asked, "Are you very familiar with the Fifth Prince?" "It stands to reason that Chu Qingluo has a good face, he should have entered the palace not long ago, if the two hadn't known each other for a long time, they wouldn't have known each other.

"I'm not familiar with it, it's just that the clothes and decorations of the Five Princes' Ceremony happened to be taken care of by me, so I've only dealt with them a few times." There is no element of fooling in her words.

Ji Jie finished asking what she wanted to ask, and Chu Qingluo couldn't answer the other estimates, so she called: "Come on, invite the fifth prince to come in." ”

As soon as Ji Qili entered the house, he saw Chu Qingluo standing behind Ji Jie, frowning at him.

"Fifth prince, I asked people to have a new spice, it is mint-flavored, it smells very good, and I will let Ming'er send it to you." Ji Jie put on that standard smile again.

"Spices? ......" Ji Qili was stunned for a moment, and saw Chu Qingluo directly clasping his hands on his chest, and kept nodding at him. He suddenly smiled: "Yes, that's what I'm here for." I didn't expect Master Ji to be ready, it's really hard. ”

"Where, as it should be." Ji Jie laughed so much that her eight teeth were exposed.

"Lord Ji and Lord Chu are also busy?" He didn't know what medicine was sold in Chu Qingluo's gourd, but he must have dragged him into the water, so he looked like he was begging for help.

Ji Jie replied: "Yes, it's all done." ”

"Master Ji, that ......" Chu Qingluo was about to ask if the platform could still be built, but Ji Jie took the lead: "The platform is naturally no problem, and we will do our best to meet the requirements of all levels." ”

Chu Qingluo: "My lord, I'll draw a drawing for you." "So that she can rest assured.

"No, the square table extends fifteen feet on each side and six feet wide. Such a simple thing, where can you still need to draw. Ji Jie is neat and tidy now, and she is not ambiguous at all.

"Thank you, sir, then I'll go back first." Chu Qingluo and Ji Jie said goodbye.

Ji Jie: "Okay." ”

"Then I won't delay the adults." Ji Qili also hurriedly said.

Although Ji Jie was reluctant, she had no choice but to watch the two leave......

"Just now, thank you." Chu Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why do I think this sentence sounds so familiar?" Ji Qili said with a smile. Last time, he was kind enough to help her out, but she didn't accept it, and she said the same thing at the time, but her tone was not as sincere as it is now.

"The fifth prince won't make fun of me." Chu Qingluo was a little weak-hearted.

Ji Qili still had a smile in his eyes: "Then tell me, how did you sell me and help you shout?" ”

She had to tell him ...... the original one, "I actually made up something that Lord Ji was interested in listening to." I said you didn't like the spices they prepared for you, not allergies, and said you liked something refreshing. And as soon as you cooperate, she will believe it. ”

Chu Qingluo didn't know that Ji Qili was allergic to spices, let alone whether he liked the mint flavor or not, anyway, the guy who fell in love for the first time liked mints, so she said it casually.

"Is this a clear attempt to use me for your purposes?"

“…… It's fun to help others...... "Chu Qingluo knew that this was indeed something that could not be denied, but his piece of delicious and lean meat was there, who did he use as bait? ?

Seeing that there was a trace of justification on her face, in addition to the weakness of her heart, Ji Qili pretended to be in pain and said: "Alas-for your play, I'm afraid I'm going to die of allergies." ”

"You can leave it alone!" Lack of heart?

"That's not good, when I see Master Ji, won't she smell the mint smell on my clothes?" Ji Qili had a deep smile hidden in his eyes.

"What then?" Chu Qingluo was also anxious.

He had something to say: "What can I do?" Then give it a try, maybe that's how you know me, I'm not allergic to mint-flavored spices? ”

“…… Anyway, thanks. I owe you a personal favor today. Chu Qingluo never wanted to have anything to do with him, but today he owes him a favor.

"That's going to be paid." Ji Qili still laughed, revealing his white teeth.
