Traveling through the ancient times

Lu Mingqian took over the painting at the beginning of the year and went to the polishing shop. Although she said it was easy yesterday, she felt a little embarrassed when she really had to go to haul stones today.

Because they had agreed before that he would do everything, and now they were about to take away the stone after he had just made one, he felt a little guilty.

There is no way to paint at the beginning of the year, because although the finished products made by the master are very good, they are too slow, and it takes more than a month to make one...

Lu Mingqian noticed Nian Chuhua's dilemma, so he took the initiative to go forward and explain to the master, while Nian Chuhua also looked apologetic.

The old master was not an unreasonable person, after listening to the explanation of the two, he did not hesitate and agreed with a smile. He knew that it took him a long time to make a painting, and if they had other uses for it, wouldn't it delay his work?

At the beginning of the year, Hua thanked and apologized, and finally wanted to pay five taels of silver as compensation. However, the master refused to accept it, saying that he would charge according to the amount of work done, and this was his principle.

Sitting in the carriage, Chushulhua sighed, "This old master is quite nice. Logically, I breached the contract, so it's normal for me to pay the penalty."

"This old man is indeed a simple and kind person. If you have any other needs in the future and it's not urgent, you can come and take care of the business more often."

"Hmm..." Nian Chuhua was deeply touched. After she came to Qunan, everyone she met was very nice to her and everything she did went very smoothly. Perhaps this was the halo of the heroine mentioned in novels.

After delivering the stones and drawings to Lu Mingqian's men and carefully explaining the things that needed attention, Nian Chuhua walked side by side with Lu Mingqian on the street.

This street is very close to the Third Prince's Mansion, Lu Mingqian. Lu Mingqian thought that although they had known each other for such a long time, Chu Shuhua had never been to his mansion. He had been to his second brother's mansion many times, but had never been to his mansion even once!

Lu Mingqian turned his head to glance at Nian Chuhua beside him, "My house is just in front, do you want to come over to my house and have a seat?"

Nianchuhua was a little surprised when she heard this. Why did he suddenly invite her to his house? "Is it okay?"

"sure"

"Okay! Sorry to bother you then." Anyway, there was nothing to do now. Lu Mingcheng said before that he had sent someone to inquire and found out that Lu Mingqian did not have any concubines. There were only men in the mansion, not even a maid. Even the mosquitoes were male... She wanted to see if Lu Mingcheng had any love for her.

When they arrived at the gate of the Third Prince's Mansion, Lu Mingqian helped Nian Chuhua get off the carriage. The guards standing guard at the gate saw them and their eyes widened like bronze mirrors. "Miss?"

Lu Mingqian took Nian Chuhua towards the mansion, and a guard immediately went to tell the housekeeper. After a while, all the guards and servants in the Third Prince's mansion knew that their Third Prince had brought a girl back home.

This is something I have never heard of or seen before!

The guard found the butler and told him that the prince had brought a girl into the palace. He was so excited that he was even more excited than when he got married himself.

Thinking about the fact that His Highness has been single for more than 20 years, not only the King and the Queen are worried, but even the servants are anxious. There hasn't even been a female mosquito in this mansion for so many years, and there is a serious imbalance between yin and yang.

They even suspected at one point whether His Highness had a romantic relationship with someone else, and they couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

The servants in other mansions all like to hang around in front of their masters, hoping to win their masters' favor one day, but the servants in their mansion are afraid that the prince will take a second look at them. If unfortunately they are favored by their prince, what will happen to their beautiful wives at home!

The butler came to Lu Mingqian like a gust of wind. When he saw Nian Chuhua following behind Lu Mingqian, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He bowed to Nian Chuhua and said, "Your servant greets the prince's wife!"

This sentence scared Nian Chuhua so much. How could she be the prince's consort? Are the servants in the Third Prince's mansion so careless?

Nian Chuhua looked at Lu Mingqian in fear. Lu Mingqian knew what the old housekeeper was thinking and found it a little funny, but he still straightened his face and said, "Housekeeper, please don't be rude. This is Miss Nian. Come to my house today and have a seat."

"Yes, yes, welcome Miss Nian to visit the Third Prince's Mansion. Miss Nian's arrival makes the entire Third Prince's Mansion glorious, hahahaha..."

The housekeeper was grinning from ear to ear. He quickly stood up and walked towards the main room with Nian Chuhua, completely ignoring the Third Prince who was left aside. Lu Mingqian didn't care either. He smiled and shook his head and followed them.

"Miss, please take a seat. I will serve you tea right away." The butler smiled and went out to call the guards to serve tea and snacks.

"We don't have any snacks in our house!" The guard scratched his head. There were only men in their house and no one liked those greasy sweet snacks. This came too suddenly and the kitchen didn't prepare any.

"If you don't know how to buy it, hurry up and don't neglect our future princess consort." The butler looked at the guard with a look of disappointment and kicked him on the butt. "Hurry up!"

The guard took the order and left the house quickly. After a while, he came back with two large food boxes filled with various snacks. He didn't know what flavor the princess liked, so he bought some of them and was sure that there would be something that suited her appetite. He was really smart.

The housekeeper took the food box and placed the snacks in front of Nianchuhua one by one with a smile, "Miss, please enjoy the snacks. I don't know what flavors you like, so I prepared these first. If you don't find anything that suits your taste, I will ask someone to prepare some."

At the beginning of the year, I saw a table full of various snacks. I wonder if they are going to open a snack shop?

"That's enough. This is too much. Butler, take some down and share it with everyone!"

"No, no, those rough guys are not used to eating these, please let the lady have it!"

At the beginning of the year, he took a look and saw someone sitting beside him with a smile on his face.

Lu Mingqian could see the embarrassment of Nian Chuhua, "Okay, housekeeper, you can go down first."

"Yes, Miss, please talk to His Highness first. I will take my leave now."

The butler smiled and retreated to the door. Looking at the row of guards who were sticking their butts out and eavesdropping under the window, he quietly walked over and lay down behind the door to eavesdrop.

Chushulhua looked at the row of heads hanging on the window somewhat embarrassedly. Did they think they were hidden well?

Nian Chuhua looked at the window and winked at Lu Mingqian. Lu Mingqian coughed lightly and said, "Butler."

The butler, who had been putting his ear to the wall, was suddenly called and stuck his head out, "Your Highness, what do you want?"

Lu Mingqian raised his chin slightly and nodded at the row of heads on the window. The housekeeper looked in the direction of the sound and saw a row of heads clearly exposed, "Ahem~"

The butler winked at the eavesdroppers. They turned around and made eye contact with Lu Mingqian, who was looking at them. It turned out that they were discovered.

The housekeeper pretended to say to the group of people, "Go, go, you have nothing to do, right? Go pull out the weeds over there." The housekeeper pointed to a small nursery nearby.

The guards stood up awkwardly, walked to the side, turned around and crawled to the foot of the wall. They thought they would not be discovered this time.

Nian Chuhua thought they had left and took a deep breath. Lu Mingqian looked at her and said, "Don't be nervous. They are just curious and have no ill intentions."

"Um"

"See if there are any snacks you like and have some." Lu Mingqian said to Nian Chuhua while looking at the table full of snacks.

"This is too much. Do you have to set up a table to entertain guests?"

"Not really. You are the first one. They welcome you."

Uh... this welcome was too heavy and she was a little overwhelmed.
