According to Lu An's previous thoughts, with the guarantee of the Phantom Cloud County Lord, there is no need to worry about the safety of Qingchen.

He can also take this opportunity to work with the old man to focus on the business of Duxiufang.

When the lord of Phantom Cloud is settled and his personal freedom is restored, he can be a rich man in the capital with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, a Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet completely disrupted his plan.

However, it was precisely because of this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that he was given a wake-up call.

If you want to gain a firm foothold in the capital of Great Xia, it is not enough to have business acumen.

In addition to the lord of Phantom Cloud who is prejudiced against him, as well as the father and son of the Marquis of Jing'an, there are also some princes and nobles, as well as the big families, who may pose a threat to him.

It is conceivable that in the future, the business of Duxiufang will grow, which will inevitably arouse the covetousness of some people.

Without a strong backstage, no matter how big the business is, it may be beaten back to its original shape again in the future because of a little thing.

Thinking of this, Lu An once again quietly started the idea of Emperor Sun Zhaohui.

If you can be deeply bound to that old guy, I believe that even the prince will no longer be embarrassed by Duxiufang's business.

Of course, this kind of thing should be done naturally, leaving no traces.

Otherwise, how could the old guy who could be the emperor automatically take the bait?

slept until dawn, Lu An, as usual, leisurely and leisurely.

A girl came to ask for advice, but this guy still did not refuse, closed the door, and carefully guided.

In the evening, Sun Zhao will arrive as scheduled.

"Boy, didn't you say find someone to come to the door to measure the size?

The old man waited for a day and didn't see anyone, have you forgotten about this? ”

As soon as they met, the old man reproached dissatisfied.

"There are a lot of people here, Old Sun, let's go in and talk."

Lu An invited the old man to his room.

After pouring two glasses of wine, Lu An sighed, "Alas! Don't hide it from Sun Lao, in fact, that Duxiu Fang is my father's business. ”

For this, Sun Zhaohui did not find it strange.

Even, it was determined that the underwear business of Duxiufang was made by Lu An himself.

"Actually, early this morning, the kid found someone to notify his father and asked him to go to Sun Lao's Mansion to measure the size."

"It's a pity, Elder Sun should know that our Lu family has long been down."

"Thanks to the magnanimity of the county lord, he returned his father's free body, and gave his old man a mansion to shelter from the wind and rain."

"However, our Lu family wants to revive the business of Duxiufang, but we really lack capital!"

"The dozens of taels of silver that the kid managed to save during this period of time are only enough to make a few underwear."

"Even if you want to hire a seamstress, you can't get the wages to measure the size of Mrs. Sun."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have missed the appointment today!"

As soon as Sun Zhaohui heard this, he immediately took out a silver ticket, "What a big deal does the old man think, this silver is enough, right?" ”

Lu An ignored the silver ticket in front of him, "If Duxiufang opens smoothly, only underwear will make a lot of money." ”

"In the future, if the business is good, we can expand the business to other state capitals."

"In addition, don't hide it from Sun Lao, in fact, the kid has a more profitable business than underwear."

"It's just that our Lu family has no capital now, and we don't have a store."

"If Elder Sun is willing to cooperate, he only needs to take out a hundred taels of silver."

"Then buy a shop in the name of Sun Lao, the place doesn't need to be too big."

"As long as it's the same as the rest of the shops,"

"Hire another guy or two, and we'll be able to get the deal going."

"As for sales, there's no need to worry."

"Something like underwear can be displayed and publicized in this place of Qingyan Pavilion, are you afraid that there will be no business at that time?"

The more Sun Zhao listened, the happier he became.

What is the prospect of the business that Lu An said, just look at the few concubines in the family.

As for the little money needed for investment, it is really nothing.

And he originally had a spare shop in the capital, which could be used at any time.

"The profit distribution ......"

"How about twenty-eight, I'm eight and you're two?"

"Deal!"

Sun Zhaohui didn't say a word, and responded with his mouth.

The two raised their glasses and touched them, even if the cooperation was finalized.

Putting down the wine glass, Lu An asked casually, "Yesterday, I vaguely heard the county lord say that tomorrow night I will go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet of the second prince, and Elder Sun will also go, right?" ”

"It's just socializing, what's the matter, you kid want to go too?"

This was meant to be a joke.

The two princes invited all high-ranking officials and nobles, how could Lu An's identity go?

However, to the old man's surprise, Lu An actually nodded with a wry smile, "It is said that the Sixth Prince's designation of our Qingyan Pavilion Qingchen girl will dance and sing at the night banquet.

In addition, the county lord asked the boy to write a song for her, and asked the boy to perform it in public at the night banquet tomorrow. ”

"Oh? The light dust girl is famous all over the world, singing and dancing, I can't imagine that tomorrow the old man will be able to feast his eyes! ”

When Lu An heard this, he was full of contempt in his heart.

This old guy didn't even mention him!

"Ahem, Elder Sun, and me, tomorrow the kid will also perform."

"And then?" The old man raised his glass and drank to himself without care.

"Hehe, there's a little thing, and I ask Mr. Sun to cooperate with him tomorrow......"

Mid-Autumn Festival, reunion of people and moons.

The streets and alleys of the capital are full of all kinds of lanterns, stretching endlessly.

The rich boy and lady traveled on a float, laughing and laughing, and the fragrance filled the street.

In the evening, the Lord of Phantom Cloud specially sent a luxury carriage.

As soon as Lu An wanted to follow Qingchen into the car, he was driven down by the Phantom Cloud County Lord.

"You go catch the car!"

Isn't it the coachman?

Lu Anman didn't care, drove the carriage behind the sedan chair of the sixth prince in front, and went straight to Qingping Garden on the outskirts of the city.

Qingping Yuan is the private property of Huangzhuang, and after the seventh prince Xia Gang tied his hair, he was rewarded by Emperor Xia as a gift.

Qingping Garden covers an area of 100 acres, the garden is magnificent, and it is beautiful.

Seeing that the sky is about to darken, but the Qingping Garden is full of lights, just like day.

When Lu Qing and the others arrived, it was already crowded with guests.

After the death of the crown prince, the seventh prince and the second prince were the two most powerful people to inherit the throne, which was known to everyone in the Manchu Dynasty.

And the sixth prince, Xia Yongtu, is the closest person to Emperor Xia, except for Emperor Sun Zhaohui, who naturally received special attention from the two princes.

As soon as the sixth prince got off the sedan chair, everyone stepped forward to salute.

"Phantom Cloud has seen the Second Emperor Brother, the Seventh Emperor Brother."

As the host of this night banquet, the seventh prince Xia Gang didn't seem to be in good health, coughed twice, and was just about to speak, when the second prince Xia Chun next to him took the first step.

"Hehe, Sister Yun hasn't entered the palace for some days, and the queen mother often talks about you."

Xia Chun smiled, and then his gaze fell on the veiled Qingchen behind the county lord.

"This is—"

Before the Lord of Phantom Cloud could answer, Lei Jin took the initiative to step forward and introduce, "Your Royal Highness doesn't know, this girl is the Qingchen girl who has recently become famous in the capital. ”

After Lei Jin finished speaking, Lu An, who was standing with the piano in his arms, instantly felt that everyone's eyes were completely focused on Qingchen.

Among them, the second prince Xia Chun, especially the leader, is the most arrogant!
