Chapter 233 Doing Business
"Great! There are so many case files in just one day. If I work a few more days, maybe I can afford to buy things in the mall!"
Lu Yuguan said with satisfaction.
Many of the products in the system mall start at hundreds of civilization values, and he has been coveting them for a long time.
Before he could fantasize for long, Fu Xiangqing's voice came again.
"I never thought that Lord Lu finished reviewing the books that had been piled up for two months in just two hours. He's really amazing!" Fu Xiangqing said with a smile.
Lu Yuguan turned his head away in a daze.
"What do you say?"
"Two months?"
Seeing this, Fu Xiangqing was puzzled and said, "Yes, the position of Shangli Shaoqing was temporarily added by the emperor. Since you are not in Kyoto, these cases have naturally piled up."
Lu Yuguan asked cautiously, "Then...how many case files do you have to review every day?"
"About ten," Fu Xiangqing pondered. "It's almost the end of the year, and merchants are no longer making a big fuss, so there are naturally fewer files."
"It's really relaxing..."
Lu Yuguan was like a wilted cabbage, his mouth drooped in an instant.
Fu Xiangqing couldn't help but exclaim: "Little Lord Lu, although there aren't many cases on weekdays, but with the New Year approaching, isn't it a good time to have some free time? Others can't even ask for it."
"Besides, there are many days ahead. When spring comes and the market starts to prosper, there will naturally be more case files. That's when you can show off your skills."
"But I have to say, good officials like Lord Xiao Lu who are so dedicated are very rare."
Fu Xiangqing walked forward with a smile, patted Lu Yuguan on the shoulder, and tried to comfort him.
Lu Yuguan still had a bitter face, "Oh, forget it, I can't explain it to you clearly, I'd better go back and rest early!"
After saying this, Lu Yuguan dragged his feet out of the Dali Temple.
As soon as he walked out, a luxurious carriage stopped at the door, followed by a number of Dragon Guards.
"Is this Li Chonglin's carriage?"
Lu Yuguan said in surprise.
Didn't he enter the Dragon Abyss Forbidden Land? How did he come out so soon?
Li Chonglin lifted the car curtain and walked quickly to Lu Yuguan.
"You... hello?"
Lu Yuguan greeted awkwardly.
Li Chonglin looked him over and raised the corner of his mouth, "This is the first time I see you wearing my imperial robes. You really look very good."
"Of course, I am a real clothes hanger."
Lu Yuguan boasted.
Li Chonglin was amused by his appearance and chuckled softly. His hearty laughter attracted the attention of others in front of the Dali Temple.
He raised his hand and gently patted Lu Yuguan's shoulder, his eyes full of teasing: "Your temper hasn't changed at all after entering the Dali Temple. I feel relieved."
"Relax? What is there to be reassured about?" Lu Yuguan wondered.
"Yuguan is so beautiful, so naturally I am worried." Li Chonglin said with a smile.
Lu Yuguan rolled his eyes at him unhappily.
Li Chonglin glanced sideways at Long Weijun, then turned back and said, "I know this is your first shift today, and it's almost time to get off work, so I came to take you back to Bai Mansion."
When Lu Yuguan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He hasn't returned to the Bai Mansion these days just to avoid those trivial matters.
He originally wanted to walk back to Qianhua Lao by himself, after all, Zhao Zimo had already made the bed beautifully for him. But now, he was stopped by Li Chonglin as soon as he went out.
Lu Yuguan hesitated and said, "Isn't this inappropriate? You just came out of the forbidden area and you're already here with me. Why don't you have a drink or two with the emperor first?"
Hearing Lu Yuguan mention his father, Li Zhonglin frowned and pulled him towards the carriage: "What's inappropriate about this? I have something to discuss with you. Get in the carriage."
Seeing that he was so persistent, Lu Yuguan had no choice but to get on the carriage with Li Chonglin.
The carriage started slowly.
The interior of the carriage was decorated extremely luxuriously, with soft brocade cushions, an exquisitely carved table, and a fireplace in the corner, which prevented the late autumn chill from penetrating at all.
Li Chonglin leaned back on the cushions, closed his eyes for a moment, and then asked, "Zhao Zimo is still in Kyoto, right?"
Lu Yuguan: "This cushion is beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
Li Chonglin: "It was made to order by someone—quickly speak, don't interrupt."
Lu Yuguan: "Huh? This heater is really warm, let me warm myself up."
Li Zhonglin: "Be careful of getting burned—don't change the subject."
Lu Yuguan wanted to continue playing dumb, but he caught a glimpse of Li Chonglin's faint anger from the corner of his eye. He thought to himself that something was wrong, so he could only cough lightly and put away his joking look.
"He's in Kyoto."
"where?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Say it."
"Li Chonglin, you have to promise me first that you won't make trouble with him!"
Li Chonglin frowned, looked at Lu Yuguan, and said impatiently: "I promise you, tell me quickly."
"In... in Qianhua Lao."
Li Zhonglin snorted coldly and said, "What a shameless fellow! He doesn't want to go back to Xin Zhao, but insists on staying in Kyoto—"
"Turn around and go to Qianhua Lao!"
"Yes."
"Your Highness."
Lu Yuguan quickly stretched out his hand, "Hey, hey, you promised me not to cause trouble!"
After he finished speaking, he still felt uncomfortable and quickly added, "Even if a fight breaks out, don't hurt my hot pot restaurant!"
Li Chonglin was speechless.
"Do I look like such a violent person?"
"During the Chinese New Year, Qianhua Lao will put up a door god at the gate to guard against you." Lu Yuguan said seriously.
Li Chonglin: “…”
The carriage soon stopped at the gate of Qianhua Lao. When the passers-by saw that it was a carriage from the palace, they all left.
Lu Yuguan watched helplessly as the huge sum of money slipped away, and his heart was filled with pain.
"Yuguan, I want to eat something." Li Chonglin said with a smile.
Eat and eat.
Come to Qianhua Lao to know how to eat.
Why don’t you take a bath with spicy hot pot?
Lu Yuguan said with a smile, "Okay, wait, I'll ask someone to prepare it."
"No," Li Chonglin leaned his head on Lu Yuguan's shoulder, "I want to eat the food you cook."
Lu Yuguan:?
Made.
You're taking advantage of me, aren't you?
I have to cook for you as soon as I get off work. Do you think I'm a part-time nanny?
One is Zhao Zimo, the other is Li Chonglin. At least half of his business empire plan was dragged down by these two people.
Lu Yuguan: "I don't..."
Li Chonglin: "There's a box of gold beads in the back of the car. Ask your servants to move it. Consider it your meal money."
Lu Yuguan: "Okay, sir, please come in!"
Li Chonglin chuckled and looked at Lu Yuguan who took off his official robe and ran to the kitchen. He raised his head slightly and caught a glimpse of Zhao Zimo who was looking at him.
"Brother Zhao, how are you?"
Zhao Zimo smiled and said, "Why is Your Highness here?"
Li Zhonglin twisted his neck, the smile on his face growing even wider. "I was just about to ask, Brother Zhao, why are you hiding out here in Yuguan instead of returning to Xinzhao to enjoy your life?"
Zhao Zimo leaped downstairs and landed lightly in front of Li Chonglin.
"Of course...it's time to get down to business."
