Xia Wenzhi nodded and said, "Of course I believe Mr. Lu. I will go back and let my mother and grandpa raise funds."
"Excuse me, eldest prince, please send some trustworthy people who know how to keep accounts to help. I'm afraid tomorrow will be very busy."
Although Xia Wenzhi said yes, he was unsure in his heart.
After going to Li Xiaozheng's mansion, Li Xiaozheng expressed that he was willing to provide 50,000 taels as an investment, and he felt relieved a little.
After all, Xia Wenzhi knew very well that his grandfather had been honest throughout his life, and fifty thousand taels was probably all his savings.
Compared to how busy they were, Lu Qian seemed much more relaxed.
The work at the Imperial Ancestral Temple was already very leisurely.
"Come on... one, two, three, four! Two, two, three, four! Three, two, three, four! Let's do it again!" Xiao Lizi followed what Lu Qian taught him, tapping the beat in front.
A group of palace maids were dancing aerobics to the slogans.
While following DiCaprio's slogan, he shouted "One, two, three, four!"
Lu Qian watched with relish and said, "It would be even more perfect if they all wear tights and dance. If I have money someday, I must order a custom suit for each of them."
...
At this time, the inner hall of the Taimiao Temple.
In a room full of Buddha statues.
Kneeling was a woman wearing a gray monk's hat and light gray linen clothes.
The woman chanted Buddhist scriptures from time to time.
Hearing the noisy sounds coming from outside, he stopped holding the prayer beads in his hand and said to Eunuch Fang who was standing aside, "Eunuch Fang, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy..."
"Master, I'm going to stop them right now." Eunuch Fang, who was kneeling behind him, stood up and prepared to go out.
"I'll go with you," the woman whom Eunuch Fang called his master slowly stood up.
Eunuch Fang was a little surprised, but didn't say anything.
Followed by Master Tai's side.
When they reached the door, Eunuch Fang opened the door of the inner hall a crack.
The master walked to the door and looked at a group of palace maids dancing and having sex outside.
Eunuch Fang just wanted to go out, but was stopped by his master.
The master looked at the door for a long time and said to Eunuch Fang, "Is the father-in-law next to the wing the new manager you mentioned?"
Eunuch Fang nodded, a little surprised.
It has been many years, and Master Tai has never interfered with anything outside.
It was strange today that there was so much noise outside and he didn't let him stop it.
After watching the palace maids finish their dance exercises, the master asked Eunuch Fang to close the door.
...
"Sisters, go and wash up now. Sir, I have something good for you to eat tonight." Xiao Lizi said to the maids whose clothes were soaked with sweat.
Because Lu Qian has no airs.
Therefore, he was surrounded by a group of palace ladies and asked Lu Qian what the surprise was.
Lu Qian also said half-jokingly, "Kiss me and I'll tell you..."
It was meant as a joke, but as a result, these girls who had just finished exercising went crazy and pounced on Lu Qian...
Lu Qian also experienced the feeling of being surrounded by flowers.
After playing around for a while, Lu Qian's face was covered with the rouge of the palace ladies.
"Sir, please stop laughing so hard...you're going to salivate when you laugh." Xiao Min said angrily to Lu Qian, who was looking at the place where the palace maids were bathing, smiling.
"What's wrong? Are you jealous? Come... I'll give you a kiss as well." Lu Qian said and moved his face to me in a mean tone.
"Who is jealous! Sir, you are annoying! I don't want..." Xiao Min blushed and wanted to take a few steps back.
Lu Qian hugged her waist, stretched out his hand to make a hook and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to?"
Xiao Min seemed to have thought of something.
That face turned a little red again, and he came closer
Lu Qian was beside him and kissed him on the cheek.
Lu Qian smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's so good."
After he finished speaking, a scent came from far away.
Lu Qian thought, Xiao Lizi and the others should be almost ready.
While wiping the rouge on his face, he walked over.
The little eunuchs were all busy preparing. On a long table, ten copper charcoal hot pots were placed.
These charcoal hot pots were made by Xiao Lizi from the palace craftsmen and cost Lu Qian a lot of money.
The base ingredients in the hot pot were prepared by Lu Qian and then cooked by the eunuchs.
Fortunately, Concubine Li gave him five hundred taels before he came to the Ancestral Temple.
It’s almost spent now.
When Lu Qian saw the boiling hot pot, he didn't wait for the maids.
He invited the little eunuchs to eat together.
The little eunuchs were a little helpless when faced with ingredients they had never eaten before.
"Come on, everyone look at me. This is called Maodu. Maodu is very particular. It's up and down..." Lu Qian said and started to teach everyone how to eat it.
After a while, the palace maids who were still taking a bath came over one after another, smelling the fragrance and not caring about waiting for their hair to dry, and then started to eat happily.
Lu Qian looked at the lively atmosphere and the steaming hot pot.
He was actually in a trance...
I don't know if it's because I'm jealous or because I'm homesick.
Tears kept pouring out.
"Sir, are you okay?" Xiao Min, who was standing by, noticed Lu Qian's strange behavior and asked softly.
Lu Qian wiped his tears and said, "It's spicy... it's spicy... aren't you afraid of spicy food?"
Xiao Min took out a handkerchief, wiped it for him considerately, nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of spicy food."
...
At this time, outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple, a group of Imperial Guards were patrolling and followed the smell of hot pot to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
"What are those little eunuchs in the Imperial Ancestral Temple eating? Why is it so delicious?" The leader, a man wearing armor and looking majestic, said.
"Master Twelve, why don't you go in and take a look?" A forbidden soldier standing beside him said respectfully.
"Let's go and take a look... But, Xiaobao, remember. I am now your subordinate, captain of the Imperial Guards. Don't call me Master Twelve!" the man said with some displeasure.
The man called Xiaobao nodded repeatedly.
He took Master Twelve into the Ancestral Temple.
He followed the sound and stopped in front of a house.
Master Twelve was shocked by the laughter and lively scene in the room.
He even doubted whether he was in the palace.
"Master Leopard!"
Xiao Lizi was the first to notice in the room, the two Imperial Guards standing at the door. After exclaiming, they knelt on the ground with a thud.
After hearing Xiao Lizi's words, the originally noisy room instantly became silent.
Everyone turned their heads and looked over until they saw the empress named Xiaobao.
Everyone seemed to be frightened out of their wits. They knelt on the ground one by one, trembling and said to the imperial guards at the door, "Bao... Master Bao..."
