Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

For the Fourth Prince, no matter how powerful the eunuchs are, they will not seize his throne, so he can use them with confidence.

After figuring out the whole cause and effect, Lu Zhanxing completely let down his guard.

Happiness came too suddenly. Does this mean that I have someone available to me?

In the book, this guy is loyal and capable, and can solve any tough mess with great skill.

"I understand. All of you, get up! From now on, all the monthly account books must be sent to my hospital. We will do a small inventory every month and a big inventory at the end of each year. Yu Feng and Lin Yun's positions will remain unchanged and they will still be responsible for these. As for Bai Jing, you will stay by my side from now on!"

"By the way, I will build a private attic for this young master in the Jinbangtiming Bookstore. All profits from these years and in the future will be sent to the attic of the Jinbangtiming Bookstore. I will collect them myself. Now you can go and make the arrangements!"

"Yes, young master!" All three of them agreed.

Yu Feng and Lin Yun both left to arrange things as instructed by their master.

Bai Jing stayed behind and asked, "Young Master, my foster father said that except for the burial objects in the old master's tomb, the rest of the treasures can be taken at any time! But you need the eldest princess's private seal and the bloodline of the Lu family to enter."

"Is that so? Then take me there to have a look tomorrow!"

Of course, things should be placed in your own space to be safe!

The next day, after Lu Zhanxing told Liu Xu to look after the yard and the two twins, he took Bai Jing and Lu Tong out.

Lu Tong is smart and can handle small matters, so Bai Jing only needs to be responsible for his own personal safety.

With someone by her side, her safety is guaranteed; with money in her hands, she is not worried at all. Lu Zhanxing walked happily on the street. The weather was not too hot, but she never let go of her paper fan.

He was quite a dashing man, and many women passing by kept looking at him.

Just as he was feeling happy, a waiter came out of the restaurant and flattered him: "Master Lu, my master wants to see you!"

Lu Zhanxing recognized the boy as Fugui, the follower of Lin Tao, the son of the imperial merchant.

"It's Fugui, lead the way!"

You can go to the tomb to get the treasure later, there is no rush.

Fugui quickly responded with a smile and respectfully invited him to the nearby "Qingfeng Restaurant".

I heard that the owner of this restaurant business comes from a noble family named Murong, so the business is pretty good.

I went up to the private room on the second floor. Sun Qiming and Lin Tao were there, but Yu Wei was not there.

"Second Young Master, you're here. Come sit down!" Lin Tao poured her wine attentively.

Lu Zhanxing sat down carelessly and asked in confusion: "What are you two doing here so early?"

Sun Qiming said mysteriously, "I was just about to look for you. The owner of the Qingguan painted boat has changed. A young and beautiful owner has been appointed. The boat is named Qingyao Painted Boat. A competition for selecting an Oiran will be held tomorrow. Young scholars and writers will be invited to hold a literary gathering at the same time. Whoever wins the first prize will be able to spend the night with the Oiran. Both men and women are welcome.

This is a great opportunity to become famous and gain profit, so I called Lin Tao early, but Yu Wei is preparing for his wedding recently, so I'm afraid he won't have time to come."

Oiran Contest? Literary Gathering?

This scene does exist in the book, and the three princes all secretly went to join in the fun. Even the eldest brother, a sixth-rank compiler in the Hanlin Academy, was dragged along by his colleagues to make up the numbers.

It describes that the eldest brother fell into the water and was saved by an ordinary-looking lady, who then pestered him to marry her, causing quite a big commotion.

But the reputation of the eldest brother, who was rescued and took advantage of the girl by having physical contact with her, but was irresponsible, also spread out, causing the eldest brother's reputation to get worse and worse.

This is how the bad name "Dengtu Zi" in the book came about.

If you think about it carefully, isn't this the Fourth Prince's conspiracy?

Otherwise, why would a man as handsome and successful as my brother go to a place like Qingguan?

Why would a future Duke of the State flirt with the daughter of a minor official?

Although the women in the painted boats only sell their art and not their bodies, it is not a good place and it is impossible for my brother to go there on his own initiative.

If he was taken away, it must have been planned in advance. Could the new owner of this pleasure boat also be the Fourth Prince's man?

It’s not written in the book?

It is only said that the owner of this pleasure boat is a mysterious widow, and she is born with an evil spirit. Any man who comes into contact with her will be unlucky. I don’t know if it is true or not?

But this widow doesn't have many scenes, so she's not important.

"You came here so early just for this?" Lu Zhanxing raised his eyes slightly.

"Of course. You're so idle every day, why don't you find some fun? By the way, I heard that you picked up two twin sisters yesterday. You're so lucky!" Sun Qiming teased with a wink.

Lu Zhanxing smiled nonchalantly: "This is not just something I do out of pity for them."

Lin Tao complimented him: "Congratulations to Master Lu for finding his beautiful wife."

He was not of high status. The royal family had eight imperial merchants, all of whom had their share of assignments. However, their Lin family was a family of merchants that specialized in purchasing all kinds of goods for the royal family. On weekdays, they also had to pay tribute to the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the expenses amounted to tens of thousands of taels. Although they worked for the royal family, there were still many people who looked down on them because they came from a merchant family.

He had gone to great lengths to seek refuge with Yang Jingyi of the Duke of Qing's Mansion just to have some face in the capital.

But he is still looked down upon. Fortunately, Mr. Lu does not despise him. With the reputation of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, no one dares to humiliate him in person anymore. These are all real benefits.

He would listen with a smile when the two young masters spoke, occasionally agreeing with a few nice words, and was very knowledgeable and interesting.

He also did not feel that these young masters neglected him. After all, he used this relationship to make his family's imperial merchant business better and better, and no one dared to bully him. It was a mutually beneficial thing. He was sent by his father to please these young masters.

"Alright, alright, these two skinny little girls still need to be taken care of for a while. By the way, is Yu Wei getting married?"

She didn't explain much and just let them misunderstand!

So as to avoid saying that you are not good enough.

"Isn't it? Marrying his cousin, my mother has been looking for wives for me since she knew you were going to get married. It's very annoying." Sun Qiming drank depressedly.

"Just marry her. Look at me, I still have fun even after getting married." Lu Zhanxing looked like an experienced person.

The two looked at Lu Zhanxing and suddenly felt much better. After all, the man married an "ugly girl", and they would never marry someone who was too ugly.

"What you mean, let's go have some fun later?" Sun Qiming wanted to go out and have fun again.

Lin Tao immediately said, "My father bought a villa outside the city, which is connected to the mountains. How about going hunting there?"

Lu Zhanxing instantly became interested: "Sure!"

The three of them ate something, and then got on the horses arranged by Lin Tao and headed out of the city.

Arriving at the Lin Family Villa, Lu Zhanxing looked at the beautiful scenery of mountains and clear waters and was pleasantly surprised: "This is a nice place, with beautiful mountains and clear waters."

"Yeah, this place is not cheap! You imperial merchants are really rich." Sun Qiming was also full of envy while sitting on the horse.

"It's indeed not cheap. I heard from my father that he bought it specially for his retirement. If the two young masters like it, they can come over anytime to have fun in the future." Lin Tao explained with a smile.

"Haha, let's go and ride horses." Lu Zhanxing was in a good mood. He whipped the horse and galloped away.

"Brother Lu, wait for me." Sun Qiming also hurriedly chased after him.

Lin Tao also rode his horse to chase after him.

Their followers naturally followed behind on horseback.

The three of them hunted some rabbits and pheasants. Lu Zhanxing missed barbecue, so he asked his followers to make a barbecue directly on the mountain. He truly felt the joy of freedom.

It was not until evening that the three of them parted at the city gate.

But Lu Zhanxing asked Lu Tong to return home first, while she and Bai Jing went to the great-grandmother's tomb...
