"Miss Lu didn't bring snacks with her today, but she was tired of eating Qingfengju's craftsmanship?"

The voice was low with a touch of hoarseness, and there was a deep smile.

When Lu Wenjing heard this, she was stunned.

It took a long time to come back to his senses, and when he turned around, he saw a face that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Biting her lower lip lightly, trying to hold back the mist in her eyes, Lu Wenjing sniffled, trying her best to make her voice sound calm, "Lou Gongzi, long time no see."

"It's been a long time." Lou Yanlin bent the corners of his mouth.

Seven months and twenty-three days.

Pursing her lips and being silent for a while, Lu Wenjing raised her eyebrows, "Why did Lou Gongzi come to the capital this time? But because of the two countries?"

After such a long time, Lou Yanlin came to the capital again, and it was more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and it was difficult not to think of the state exchanges between the Western Jinyun Kingdom and the Great Qin State.

Lu Wenjing guessed that it might be that the Western Jinyun Kingdom took advantage of the tribute gift sent to the Great Qin State during the Chinese New Year and sent Lou Yanlin there.

Lou Yanlin smiled lightly when he heard this, "The lord of the country is very loving, and he has the intention of entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, but he is only shallow in his studies, and he thinks that he can't afford such a big responsibility, and he feels that the entire Xijinyun country is full of talents, so he asked the lord of the country for a decree and resigned from his official position."

Resigned from office?

Lu Wenjing was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lou Yanlin in disbelief, "Then you came to the capital this time......

"I resigned from my official position, and I have no livelihood at home, so I naturally want to find some way out, and now I count the family's industry, except for some spices that have been in cooperation with the lord of Ping'an, and the only way to live in the breeze here in the capital."

Lou Yanlin said with a smile, "So I can only bring Xiao Song to the capital together, and do a good job of these two businesses, which can be regarded as supporting my family."

"What do you mean......" Lu Wenjing was stunned again, "Do you want to settle in the capital in the future?"

"It's nature." Lou Yanlin smiled and nodded, "Although Qingfengju's business is average, it can also eat and drink for me and Komatsu every month, and there are many businesses, doors, and opportunities in the capital, so it is naturally the best choice to settle down."

"Miss Lu's expression at this time, is I welcome to settle in the capital?" Lou Yanlin asked with a smile.

Why, she couldn't ask for it.

It's just that Lu Wenjing is the daughter of the Lu family, and she is proud, so she naturally can't say anything, so she only tilted her head, "I am very friendly to everyone, and Lou Gongzi is naturally no exception, and now Lou Gongzi wants to settle in the capital, I naturally will not welcome it."

"However, Mr. Lou mentioned that this Qingfengju business is here, and Qingfengju's tea is good now, but these refreshments are too few, and it is inevitable that they will be boring after eating for a long time, and the guests will not be able to stay.

"Miss Lu has a point." Lou Yanlin nodded again and again, "I must follow Miss Lu's suggestion in the future, let Qingfengju make more kinds of refreshments with better taste, and I will also bother Miss Lu to have more cheers in the future."

"It's nature." Miss Lu raised her chin, "It's not too early, I'll leave today and come here for tea another day."

"I'm waiting for Miss Lu in Qingfeng Residence." Lou Yanlin was deeply moved, and only after Lu Wenjing walked away did he get up.

"Childe." The shopkeeper Sun of Qingfeng Ju hurriedly welcomed Lou Yanlin into the house, and asked for warmth for a while.

After answering a question, Lou Yanlin asked, "Does Miss Lu often come to Qingfeng Ju on weekdays?"

"I can't say it's all the time." Shopkeeper Sun paused and said, "It should be said that I come almost every day, and even when I don't come, I will send someone to Qingfeng Ju to buy some refreshments and go back."

"Originally, the little one saw that Miss Lu liked the refreshments of our Qingfeng Ju so much, so she offered to send someone to send some to the Lu Mansion every day, but after sending them a few times, Miss Lu asked the little one not to do this, and still sent someone to buy them.

"It seems that Miss Lu really likes the breeze

Refreshments of the house......

Lou Yanlin pondered and lowered his eyes.

It seems that he made up his mind to return to the capital this time, and he was right.

After looking down and thinking for a long time, Lou Yanlin raised his head, "During this time, I will find some delicious and exquisite masters to make refreshments, and all kinds of dim sum in our Qingfeng Residence will have to be changed to a different style."

At the very least, make her happy. Look at the book

Shopkeeper Sun didn't think too much, just thought that Lou Yanlin wanted to take care of Qingfengju's business after returning to the capital, and he was busy responding.

It took more than ten days for the snow to melt completely.

As the winter months begin, the weather gets colder and colder.

In the palace, new news came again.

The five princesses under the queen's knee have reached the age of marriage, the emperor and the queen want to choose a son-in-law for the five princesses, and in order to be able to choose a person with both appearance and talent for the five princesses, young talents will be selected in the entire capital and even the whole world.

Anyone between the ages of 16 and 26, who is an official of the sixth rank or above, or who has a direct blood relative of the fourth rank or above, who is in good health and has a good appearance, can apply.

At the time of registration, there will be the palace officials, the eunuchs and palace maids in charge of the emperor and the queen, and the poor looks will be screened out, and the rest will need to go through the subsequent rounds of examinations.

The examination was assessed from many aspects such as talent, adaptability, etiquette, etc., and was eliminated in turn, and only five people were selected to enter the final round, and the queen mother, the emperor and the queen mother jointly determined the final candidate for the five princesses.

Judging from the selection procedure alone, it feels that it is quite strict, and there is a tendency for thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge, and the competition is not fierce.

But many are still eager to try.

After all, this is the princess born by the emperor and the queen's mother, and it is the emperor's favorite princess, and the court has not become a concubine after the rule that you can not be an official, to be able to marry a princess, that is to have the foundation of soaring, such an opportunity can be said to be met but not sought.

As for the fierce competition......

Ordinary imperial examinations and official promotions are all highly competitive, and in comparison, this is nothing.

But if you're lucky, it's the ancestral grave that smokes!

Try it before you talk!

Based on this consideration, as soon as the imperial list came out, many eligible unmarried men were eager to try, and some even began to quietly invite their masters or aunts released from the palace into the house, so as to seize the time to make up for the poems and court etiquette rules.

There are also many people who are worried that they will be eliminated because of their appearance when they sign up, and they are looking for high-quality embroiderers and people with exquisite makeup skills everywhere, in order to make up for one or two.
