Tangxi never thought that Lu Yao would ask him such a question.
Logically speaking, Tangxi felt that Lu Yao should only talk to him about his business matters or work matters. As for the private affairs of the young master, Tangxi knew that he had no right to interfere and was not very interested. However, now
Lu Yao asked all the questions, but it was impossible not to give an answer. Therefore, Tangxi thought about it carefully and finally said that if he had to choose between Han Yunyu and Cao Han, he would choose Cao Han.
In fact, the answer given by Tangxi was not at all unexpected to Lu Yao. After all, judging from Tangxi's personality, it was normal for him to prefer Cao Han, who was more proactive and cheerful. So Lu Yao said: "Is that so? Then
What do you think is the difference between Han Yunyu and Cao Han?"
If this question were asked in modern times, there is no doubt that it would be a proposition. Tangxi was stunned on the spot, and Lu Yao quickly waved his hand and added: "You don't have to be so nervous. That's what I asked. Just say, I won't
I will take it seriously, but I won’t tell others.”
Lu Yao always told the truth, so Tang Xi nodded and said: "Actually, let me tell you carefully, I don't understand either, maybe it's just a feeling. In fact, during this period, I followed your instructions and went to the Han Mansion and the Cao Mansion many times.
However, I don’t see Miss Han as often as I do with Miss Cao. Miss Han gives me a feeling of being aloof and cold. Twice I went to deliver the manuscript you gave her, and she accepted it.
He didn't even look at me when he came over, turned around and left. I knew that there was a huge gap in status between me and Miss Han, but I still felt that it was not a good idea to do this. Basically, the total words spoken between the two of us would not exceed five sentences.
"
Lu Yao nodded and said, "What about Miss Cao's family? What impression did she leave on you?"
As soon as Lu Yao talked about Cao Han, Tangxi's chat box opened up. He said: "Miss Cao's family gave me a very warm feeling. When I went to Cao's house before, I met Miss Cao's family several times. She always
She would greet me warmly every time, and would ask me questions, especially about the young master, she asked a lot."
This was something Lu Yao didn't expect. He had never heard Tangxi talk about this matter before, so he asked Tangxi what Cao Han had asked him.
Tangxi said that Cao Han would always ask about Lu Yao's recent situation, whether he is very busy at work, where he goes in his spare time, who he makes friends with, and what Lu Yao's hobbies are on weekdays, etc.
Tang Xi hadn't finished speaking yet. When he heard this, Lu Yao sighed and signaled Tang Xi to stop talking.
Tangxi looked at Lu Yao and noticed that the young master was somewhat frowning, so she said, "Sir, your engagement with Miss Han cannot be canceled, right? What you really like is Miss Han Yunyu, right? I heard from other people in the house that,
Your engagement was canceled before, but was restored later, because of your efforts, Master."
It's true that there's nothing wrong with something. The thing that Lu Yao regrets the most so far is that he had a hothead and thought that Han Yunyu was his true love, so he resumed the engagement. However, later events proved that Han Yunyu was not him.
The one who is destined.
"Now, if I try my best to promote it, this engagement must be fulfilled. When the imperial examination is over and I am named on the gold list, it should be the time when I propose marriage to the Han family." Lu Yao raised his head and looked at the round hanging in the sky.
Crescent Moon, said.
Tang Xi thought for a while and said: "But Master, you were born in the family of the Minister of Household Affairs. As the son of Mr. Lu, your status is more noble than others. Although neither the master nor the eldest brother has concubines, it does not mean that you can only have concubines."
A wife."
Lu Yaoxin said that Tangxi understood a lot, and the meaning of this meant that Tangxi could already tell that he liked Cao Han. It seemed that Tangxi had been with him for so many days, and as a housekeeper, he had also learned a lot of knowledge.
Lu Yao gave a wry smile and said: "Some things are beyond my control. Don't look at me. I am very prosperous now. I make good food and have a smooth career. This new Cuju competition can be successfully held. But even I have some problems."
Write about helpless places."
Tangxi still wanted to say something, but Lu Yao stopped communicating and asked Tangxi to go back to the room to rest.
That night, Lu Yao felt exhausted physically and mentally. I don't know why. Although he went to inspect the Bird's Nest Stadium in the morning and later settled the vegetable garden with Pan Yuanwu, Lu Yao actually didn't feel tired at all during these times. But as soon as he returned to his house,
He felt a headache when he thought about Cao Han and Han Yunyu. At this time, he couldn't help but think of what Cao You had said to him before. If the Cao family really wanted to take any action, what should he do? Logically speaking,
Cao Han has reached the age to get married, and Cao Yi should have already started planning this matter. The incomprehensible words Cao You said to him before were actually more like reminders to himself.
But, can he really come up with any solution now? Even if the Cao family is really willing to let Cao Han come over as a concubine, can the Cao family and the Han family really live in peace with the current relationship? The more Lu Yao thinks about it, the more he thinks about it.
It's a headache. Sure enough, marriage is the same thing from ancient times to the present. It doesn't just rely on two people loving each other to finally become a good match. Marriage is always a matter of two families. In ancient times, it should be said that many families
is the right thing to do.
Not wanting to think about it anymore, Lu Yao felt a little dizzy. After washing, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
After a night, the next morning, Lu Yao called Tang Xi and asked him to take his token and enter the palace, with the purpose of finding Zhe Kexing.
Tangxi quickly left the Lu Mansion and went to the palace. Today's Zhe Kexing was different from yesterday. He got up very early today. It seemed that he wanted to find Zhao Zhen before the morning meeting to confirm changes to the schedule and take other teams to the Bird's Nest restaurant.
Regarding the stadium matter, it seemed that he was going to follow the example of Cao Yi and Han Yonghe before and went to the palace where the emperor lived to request orders.
Seeing Tang Xi coming over, Zhe Kexing immediately knew that Lu Yao had other things to tell him. It turned out that because of the incident in the food court, Lu Yao decided to send Tang Xi to tell Zhe Kexing that when he saw the emperor today, it would be best to change the game time
It has also been determined that the competition is best scheduled before lunch or dinner, which is when people will feel hungry. This will be conducive to the sale of delicious food.

of.
Regarding the food court and hot pot matters, Zhe Kexing was not involved, but he knew that Tangxi came to him early this morning because Lu Yao had already calculated that he would find Zhao Zhen to talk about these things before the morning meeting, so
Wanting to confirm the time as soon as possible, Lu Yao must have his own reasons for this. So he immediately agreed to Tangxi, and then left the residence to see the emperor. Tangxi completed the task and left the palace to return.
Lu Mansion.
What Zhe Kexing didn't expect was that Zhao Zhen had already gotten up at this time and had already arrived at the main hall where government affairs were handled. Although the morning court time had not yet arrived, due to recent events in Xixia, Zhao Zhen had almost arrived at night
I couldn't sleep, so I got up very early every day.
Upon hearing Zhe Kexing's request to see him, Zhao Zhen knew that it was Lu Yao who had another request for instructions, so he asked Zhe Kexing to come in.
This was Zhe Kexing's first time to face the emperor alone. It was impossible to say that he wasn't nervous, but now his mind was filled with memories of what Lu Yao told him to tell the emperor. After going back and forth like this, he actually forgot about his nervousness.
Already.
Later, under Zhao Zhen's inquiry, Zhe Kexing first talked about confirming the schedule. Zhao Zhen heard that the Huangtian team's game would be the first opening game, and he hesitated, but after Zhe Kexing said to adjust the game schedule
After the reason, Zhao Zhen also ordered someone to call Wang Da. Wang Da was different from Zhe Kexing. He just got up and heard the emperor's summons. He quickly washed up and came to the main hall. His clothes were a little untidy.
After all, it was still early, so Zhao Zhen did not hold Wang Da accountable, and then asked him whether he would accept being able to play in the first game. For Wang Da, he actually watched the first game between the Grassroots team and the Fanlou team.
After the warm-up match, he still had some concerns about Chen Chen's grassroots team. He originally thought that his Huangtian team was sure to win, but the strength of the grassroots team far exceeded his imagination. At this time, instructor Zhe Kexing
Wanting to adjust the order of their games against the grassroots teams to the first game is actually a good thing for Wang Da.
Because in Wang Da's view, the grassroots team has a lot of room for growth. Their current defensive ability has reached its peak. If they use the period before the start of the official game to enhance their forward's offensive ability, by the time of the official game,
It may not be impossible to defeat the Huangtian Team. Therefore, in this case, reducing the training time of the grassroots team will lower the upper limit of their level from the side. This is good news for the Huangtian Team, because in Wang Da’s self-perception
The strength of the Huangtian Team has now reached its peak. No matter how hard they train these days, it should be difficult to make a breakthrough. This is related to the fact that there are many former members of the Royal Cuju Team among them.
Therefore, Wang Da considered it comprehensively and expressed that he could accept the adjustment of the order of the competition. Zhao Zhen saw that the leaders of his team agreed. It seemed that Wang Da had a chance to win, so he did not say anything.
, agreed to Zhe Kexing's application, Zhe Kexing thanked him, and then Zhao Zhen let Wang Da go back. This was equivalent to settling the first thing.
Zhao Zhen had some doubts about Lu Yao's proposal to change the time of the game.
"Are you saying that Lu Yao plans to change the game time to around lunch or dinner?" Zhao Zhen asked.
Zhe Kexing nodded, then Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Has Lu Yao ever explained to you why he chose this time?"
Zhe Kexing shook his head with a look of helplessness. To be honest, when Tangxi came to him today to explain the situation and wanted to change the time of the game, his first reaction was the same as that of Zhao Zhen. At this time, the people, that is, the audience
More people choose to eat at home. Who will come to watch this Cuju competition?
"I'm not sure. He only told me to ask His Majesty for instructions, but he didn't say the reason. In fact, Wei Chen also felt that choosing this time was not particularly good. After all, the audience was eating at that time." Zhe Kexing faced the emperor's question.
He could only answer the question like this, but he didn't say that Lu Yao chose this time period inappropriately. He knew that everything Lu Yao did made sense, since he sent Tangxi to tell him the game time so early today.
things, so Lu Yao must have had his own plans to arrange the competition at this time.
Looking at Zhe Kexing's expression, Zhao Zhen felt that he really didn't know the reason for Lu Yao's arrangement. He thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter whether you want to eat or not. Since we have decided to let the Huangtian team and the Grassroots team be the first game
As for the two sides competing in the official competition, I think the people are still willing to buy my match. After all, it is a match for the Royal Cuju Team. There is no problem if it is scheduled around meal time. However, every subsequent match will require this.
As the incident progressed, I was a little confused."
Afterwards, Zhao Zhen fell into thinking. Zhe Kexing stood there without daring to speak. He was actually thinking about the reason why Lu Yao did this. After a while, Zhao Zhen finally settled down and said, "I think,
Let’s set it at noon. It may get dark early in the evening, which is not conducive to playing games. The official game time should be set at noon for each game.”
Noon, which is twelve o'clock in modern times, is also the time for people to eat. When Zhe Kexing saw that Zhao Zhen agreed, he felt relieved.
What Zhao Zhen was thinking about here was that he still needed to find an opportunity to ask Lu Yao why he did this.
Then, there was only one last thing left that Zhao Zhen needed to confirm.
Zhe Kexing told Zhao Zhen that he, Pan Wen and Chen Chen followed Lu Yao to inspect the Bird's Nest Stadium yesterday. On the one hand, they inspected the situation of the Bird's Nest Stadium, and on the other hand, they also took the members of the Grassroots Team and Fanlou Team to see
Check out the venue.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen already knew about this matter. Zhe Kexing was a little confused, but Zhao Zhen soon gave an explanation. That was because the royal family purchased Zhang Maocai's Return Inn, which is only a few minutes away from the Bird's Nest Stadium.
It is a walking distance, and there are not many carriages in the outer city, especially the location of the Bird's Nest Stadium is relatively remote, so when Lu Yao and his group went to the Bird's Nest Stadium yesterday to inspect the situation, the royal staff of the Return Inn already knew about it, and later
Reported to Zhao Zhen.
What Zhao Zhen was thinking at the time was that Lu Yao would not go through the back door and would only take the Fanlou team and the grassroots team to inspect the venue. You must know that his Huangtian team has not yet gone to the Birds.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After watching it at Chao Stadium, he felt that Lu Yao would definitely talk to him about this matter.
No, today I haven't even gone to the morning court yet, and Zhe Kexing has come, telling myself that I want to order the leaders of the Huangtian Team, the Tigers Team, and the four teams in the lower half, each with two
The team members will take the lead and go to the Bird's Nest Stadium tomorrow or the day after to inspect the situation.
"So, since the Fanlou team and the grassroots team have already been there, there is no need to go with them, right?"
Zhe Kexing nodded and said: "Well, Lu Yao was afraid that the leaders of other teams knew that he took the Grassroots Team and Fanlou Team to the site to inspect the venue yesterday and felt that he was partial, so he asked me to come to His Majesty for instructions.
.”
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "This Lu Yao is still so thoughtful about things. Let's do it tomorrow. You can take them to the Bird's Nest Stadium tomorrow. Don't watch it for too long. It will only take half a day. I think
That’s pretty much it.”
After Zhao Zhen agreed, he asked the eunuch to draft the decree and announce it to the other leaders.
Zhe Kexing's mission today was completely completed by this time, so he left the palace and returned to his residence. He planned to go to Lu Mansion to tell Lu Yao about the progress of the matter in the afternoon. According to time, Lu Yao now
He was probably already chatting with Pan Wen about the football lottery, so he couldn't disturb him, and he also needed to find some time to write down his ideas for improving training after going to the Bird's Nest yesterday.
Where is Lu Yao at this time? It is indeed what Zhe Kexing thought. He is busy at home, but he is not busy discussing football lottery matters with Pan Wen. The reason is very simple. Pan Wen has not come yet. After
Regarding making rice dumplings yesterday, Lu Yao thought that there should be no problem if Zhe Kexing went to Zhao Zhen to apply for a competition time today. Next, he should find someone to make the first delicacy.
Although the idea of a food street is good, at first, Lu Yao did not plan to make all the delicacies and snacks that can be made now. He planned to experiment with rice bags first, and if it was really possible, he would make similar kimchi in the future.
, there are also snacks such as grilled cold noodles and hand cakes.
The question is who to choose as the stall owner of this first snack.
Lu Yao thought about it and listed some conditions. First of all, this person should be someone who has lived in the outer city for a long time, and his desire to make money should be relatively strong. Secondly, he must have at least some basic skills in cooking. Finally,
, and the most important thing is that Lu Yao must be able to trust him. After learning how to make rice bags, he must ensure that he cannot start a new business. Lu Yao does not need to take a share of the money he earns, but all big things must be done.
Just follow Lu Yao's arrangements.
It seems that if you just look for the people in the outer city, there will be many people who meet the conditions for the first two conditions, but the last one, the most critical, can be said to be very few. After all, Lu Yao's understanding of the outer city is actually
It's not as good as Tangxi. Now it's not easy to find someone in the outer city to cook delicious snacks and gain your trust.
"It's a pity that Chen Chen and Tang Xi are both rough people and can't cook. And now that they have become my housekeepers, they don't have anyone who can cook." Lu Yao said to himself, but his voice
As soon as he landed, Lu Yao suddenly slapped his forehead, his eyes brightened, and he immediately said: "Why am I so stupid? Isn't there someone who can do this?"
It seems that Lu Yao already has the first choice in mind to make this delicious snack.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. As soon as Lu Yao opened the door, he saw that it was Tangxi. On the way back, Tangxi happened to meet Pan Wen who was going to Lu Mansion to find Lu Yao, so he would inform him if he didn't return to Lu Mansion.
Lu Yao is gone.
Lu Yao then asked Tangxi about his visit to Zhe Kexing today. Tangxi told the truth. Lu Yao half-jokingly asked Zhe Kexing if he had anything to say about the game time he arranged. Tangxi said that he looked a little confused, but he should
I will tell the truth to the emperor.
Lu Yao nodded, then took a few pages of manuscripts from the table, and followed Tang Xi towards the main hall. What Lu Yao was holding in his hand were some manuscripts about football lottery related content that he wrote last night.
Arriving at the main hall, Pan Wen was sitting there waiting for him. Lu Yao walked forward. Before he could speak, Pan Wen stood up from his seat and said, "Lu Yao, what did you say to my father yesterday? He
Why did you just ask someone to get the money after you got home? They said they wanted to get 200,000 yuan at once, and they would send it to your bank tomorrow."
When Lu Yao heard this, he said: "This is a business cooperation between me and your father." After saying this, Lu Yao took out a page from the many pages of manuscripts, handed it to Pan Wen, and said: "Just in time, you
Take this manuscript back to your father and tell him that it is a contract from the bank, and he will understand of course."
Pan Wen always thinks about things simply, and he doesn't want to think too much about things that have nothing to do with him. He took the manuscript Lu Yao gave him and put it in his sleeve without even looking at it.
"However, you are really capable. If it were me, my father would ask me what I used it for even when he gave me two coins. It's better for you to go to the vegetable garden and just ask me.
Ask my father to pay you 200,000 yuan." Pan Wen muttered something to Lu Yao.
In Lu Yao's vision, it is best for Pan Wen's Fanlou team to win the final victory in this new Cuju competition. In this way, Pan Wen can take charge of the management rights of the football lottery, at least until the next champion emerges.
Pan Wen manages the football lottery, at least there will be no black lottery or abnormal odds. Therefore, since he is in charge of the football lottery, Lu Yao feels that it is better not to let Pan Wen know about the food street and hot pot.
"What you said is not quite right. Think about it, although your father won't give you any money now, it's because he is afraid that you will spend it randomly. If you take the money, you will most likely go to a brothel to live life. The Pan family's money will eventually be returned.
Not all of them are yours. If nothing else, when you win the winning team of this new Cuju competition, I don’t think your father will refuse to give you some money."
Pan Wen is a straightforward guy, so he was naturally very happy when he heard what Lu Yao said. In his opinion, Lu Yao confirmed the strength of his Fan Lou team.
"So, you called me here today to discuss matters related to football lottery."
