Traveling through the ancient times

Lu Mingqian brought Qi Muhe to sit in the flower hall of Jiang Mansion. A maid served tea and they left obediently.

Qi Muhe came to Jiang Mansion for the first time and didn't know why Lu Mingqian brought him here. "Hey, why did you bring me here?"

"I won't harm you anyway. I'll act according to circumstances later." Lu Mingqian glanced at Qi Muhe. He had changed his appearance again today, looking like a handsome young man.

"Act according to circumstances? What are you going to do?" Qi Muhe asked, and when he saw Jiang Ruixue had walked in, he immediately fell silent.

[Wow, beautiful girl...] ​​Qi Muhe's eyes sparkled!

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" Jiang Ruixue bowed.

"No gift."

Jiang Ruixue stood up and looked at Qi Muhe who was looking at her with a smile, "Who is this?"

When Qi Muhe saw the beauty asking about him, he immediately showed his standard eight teeth, smiled and bowed to Jiang Ruixue, "My name is Qi He, nice to meet you, Miss."

"Mr. Qi is polite!" Jiang Ruixue returned the greeting

"Is the Third Prince here for something?" Jiang Ruixue asked Lu Mingqian the purpose of his coming.

Seeing that only Jiang Ruixue came over, Lu Mingqian asked, "Is the Second Prince at home? I have something to ask him, but his servants said he was not at home. I wondered if he was at Jiang's house, so I came over to ask."

Jiang Ruixue was stunned when she heard this. It turned out that she was looking for Lu Mingcheng. "The Second Prince is in the garden. Third Prince, do you want to go over there, or should I ask the servants to invite the Second Prince over?"

The second prince, who was eavesdropping outside the door, quickly stood up and tiptoed towards the garden.

"Has Miss Nian come today?" Lu Mingqian thought that he might only see Lu Mingcheng again in a while, so he asked about Nian Chuhua.

"They are both in the garden. Why don't you come with me to the garden to meet them, Third Prince?"

Nian Chuhua, who was named, also followed Lu Mingcheng to the garden...

Lu Mingqian smiled secretly in his heart, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Miss Jiang to lead the way."

"Please come this way!" Jiang Ruixue made an inviting gesture.

Following Jiang Ruixue to the garden, Nian Chuhua and Lu Mingcheng were pretending to admire a withering rose...

"Second brother, Miss Nian is in a very elegant mood."

"Ah, my third brother is here too," Lu Mingcheng said pretending to be ignorant.

"I came here specially to find my second brother. The servants in your house said that you were not at home. I guessed you might be here." Lu Mingqian said pretendingly without exposing Lu Mingcheng.

"Oh, what do you want to see me for, third brother?" Lu Mingcheng wondered, what could Lu Mingqian want to see him for?

"We can talk about this on the way back. What are Second Brother and Miss Nian talking about?" Lu Mingqian did not intend to talk about the Prince of Xiliang in front of everyone, so he changed the subject.

"Oh, we are enjoying the flowers!" Lu Mingcheng said and pointed at the flowers that were on the verge of withering.

Ha...hehe...

Everyone was stunned when they looked at the dead branches and leaves. This flower...

The scene was eerily quiet for a moment!

Qi Muhe rolled his eyes and spoke up in time to smooth things over and break the awkward situation...

"You two must be kind and sentimental people. The withering of this flower is like the twilight years of a person. Eventually, the leaves fall back to the roots and the dust returns to the earth."

"Yes, what this young man said is true. A person's life is like a flower. It blooms and withers, but eighteen years later he will be a brave man again." Nian Chuhua echoed, speaking with great passion.

Everyone nodded in agreement...

"Please take a seat!" Jiang Ruixue invited Lu Mingqian and Qi Muhe to take a seat.

Lu Mingcheng also noticed Qi Muhe. Fortunately, he smoothed things over, otherwise he would have to pick his feet in embarrassment. "I have never seen this young master before. I wonder which family he is from?"

"I…"

Qi Muhe was about to introduce himself solemnly when he was interrupted by Lu Mingqian, "His name is Qi He, he is a friend of mine. His family used to be in business, but now they have fallen on hard times and have nothing to do all day. He insisted on coming with me today."

Qi Muhe???…

But...it seems to be true...but when did he insist on following him?

[Could this be what Lu Mingqian meant by "acting according to circumstances"? ]

Qi Muhe changed his mind and bowed to the few people, "Yes, Second Prince, two ladies, please forgive me for disturbing you!"

"It's okay. Since you are my third brother's friend, you are also our friend. Let's get together often in the future." Lu Mingcheng extended an olive branch to Qi Muhe.

"Brother Qi, is your family in business?" Lu Mingcheng thought of Chuanxiong Hua's plan to find a shopkeeper.

"Yes, but that was all many years ago. Now my family has fallen on hard times and I have nothing to do. Fortunately, I have Brother Mingqian to take care of me, so I can survive." Qi Muhe said, pretending to be sad.

Lu Mingcheng looked at Nian Chuhua and understood immediately, but looking at the appearance of Mr. Qi, it didn't look like he would work for others.

Nianchuhua sent a look to Lu Mingcheng: "He doesn't look like a worker!"

Lu Mingcheng is disappointed with his achievements [How do you know if you don't ask? ]

Early Years Painting [I Dare Not Ask]

Lu Mingcheng【Prospects...】

Jiang Ruixue saw the two people's little movements and pretended to ask casually, "Chu Hua, how is the preparation of your pastry shop going? Have you found a shopkeeper?"

Chushouhua answered the question Jiang Ruixue asked, "The shop is almost ready, but we haven't found a shopkeeper yet. After all, it's not easy to find a reliable one."

When Lu Mingqian heard the conversation between the two, he secretly kicked Qi Muhe. Qi Muhe turned around and saw Lu Mingqian winking at him.

I immediately understood that this was the opportunity to seize the opportunity, "Miss Nian, are you looking for a shopkeeper? My family used to have a pastry shop. If you trust me, I will recommend myself to be the shopkeeper of this pastry shop."

Qi Muhe glanced at Lu Mingqian, and Lu Mingqian nodded slightly to him.

Jiang Ruixue continued, "With Mr. Qi's talent, he can start a business from scratch by doing any business. Wouldn't it be a good use of his talent to be a shopkeeper?"

"No, no, it's not that easy to start from scratch. I just want to find a job and earn some money to feed and clothe myself. I have to think about the rest later."

Jiang Ruixue glanced at Chushunhua, who was pleasantly surprised and looked at her sister with gratitude. This solved her problem.

"Thank you, Master Qi, for not looking down on my small business. Master Qi is a friend of the Third Prince, so I trust him. It would be great to have Master Qi's help."

"Qi will do his best to manage this shop for Miss Nian and live up to her high expectations."

"Regarding the issue of salary, I wonder if Mr. Qi has any requirements?" Nian Chuhua asked this crucial question. He said that it would be better to cut off the relationship first so as not to cause trouble later. Although they are acquaintances and friends, it would not be good if they had any unpleasantness over salary in the future.

Before Qi Muhe could say anything, Lu Mingqian spoke first, "Just give him two taels of silver every month."

At the beginning of the year…? "The Third Prince is joking!"

Qi Muhe also looked at Lu Mingqian [Two taels is too little]

Lu Mingqian [You eat my food and live my house, why do you need so much money?]

Qi Muhe [I worked hard to earn that too]

Lu Mingqian [Young Master Qian, go find it yourself. I won’t care about you anymore]

Qi Muhe forced a smile... "I'm not kidding, Miss Nian, two taels of silver a month is enough."

"Although we are friends, I cannot take advantage of you like this. Five taels a month, so let's say." Chushulhua thought that most shopkeepers paid this much per month, so five taels would be about right.

"Thank you very much, Miss Nian." Qi Muhe bowed to express his gratitude.

Seeing that his goal was achieved so easily, Lu Mingqian had no place to use his skills. He smiled at Nian Chuhua.

"Then I wish Miss Nian a prosperous business in her new shop in advance."

"Thank you, Third Prince. If it weren't for the Third Prince and Young Master Qi coming here today, I would still be worried about the shopkeeper's affairs."
