Chapter 473: Her thoughts were guessed, and Xu Qingqing was forced to compete for the third place du
Lu Zhaoyan relied on his master's young age to become the director of the Imperial Observatory, mainly observing the stars at night and telling fortunes.
If his master hadn't retired early, it wouldn't have been his turn as a young man.
Fortune-telling was just a part-time job, but it turned out to be a serious career.
Lu Zhaoyan returned to the mountain to accompany his master during this period, and he rushed to the capital without stopping after receiving the imperial edict.
It took five days to finally get back to the capital, and he went to the imperial study as soon as possible.
Lu Zhaoyan stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, why did you call me back so quickly?"
The emperor frowned and said, "The prince fell off a cliff in Mobei and disappeared. I asked you to tell the prince's fortune to see how he is now?"
"I obey your order, but." Lu Zhaoyan paused for a while before saying, "I am not proficient in fortune-telling, and it will take some time."
He had only been in fortune-telling for a short time, unlike observing the stars at night, which he had practiced since childhood. He didn't dare to boast in front of the emperor.
Although the emperor was worried about the prince's safety, he was not unreasonable. He nodded and agreed, "Don't keep me waiting too long."
Lu Zhaoyan lowered his eyebrows and eyes: "I will calculate the result as soon as possible."
The emperor waved his hand, and Lu Zhaoyan left the imperial study.
After leaving the palace for several months, Lu Zhaoyan did not expect that the prince would be in trouble. Although he had calculated that the prince was doomed earlier, he thought it had been resolved.
After returning to his residence, he took out the books and began to calculate the prince's situation.
Although Tao Liangyuan has not come frequently recently, she always brings something every time she comes.
This time she followed Shen Chuwei to the study with cooked corn.
The corn seeds given to her by Shen Chuwei are only planted on one acre of land every year. Scarcity makes things expensive, so the price will be higher, and only rich people can afford it.
Because there are too few, rich people will use corn to entertain guests. On the one hand, it can show their appreciation for the guests, and at the same time, it also demonstrates their own strength.
Who would have thought that a bag of corn seeds would make the Tao family rich.
Tao Liangyuan gave Shen Chuwei five thousand taels of gold as dividends.
Shen Chuwei had seen so much gold in her life, and five thousand taels of gold was not silver.
But Shen Chuwei still refused, because she had said at the beginning that she would not accept dividends.
After Tao Liangyuan's repeated persuasion, Shen Chuwei accepted the gold. Looking at the five thousand taels of gold and silver notes, she felt confident.
The corn in Xiyun Pavilion was also ripe, and Shen Chuwei sent some to the queen and Xiao Jinyu to taste the first batch of corn.
"Tao Liangyuan, why did you send corn to Song Qing?" The reason for asking this was that Chunxi cooked corn today, and Song Qing also ate it...
Tao Liangyuan smiled and explained: "Corn, jade and meet the same sound, there is a meaning."
Shen Chuwei found that Tao Liangyuan was really attentive to Song Qing, "Only corn, no matter how smart Song Qing is, he can't guess the meaning, right?"
Tao Liangyuan said indifferently: "Then I will remind him."
Shen Chuwei nodded, looking forward to how Tao Liangyuan reminded Song Qing.
After entering the study, Tao Liangyuan came to Song Qing with corn wrapped in oil paper, which was still warm.
"I brought two corns to see you." Tao Liangyuan said in one breath, and her face turned red after she finished speaking, because it was too obvious, but she didn't care, even wrote a love letter, not afraid!
Song Qing looked at Tao Liangyuan in confusion.
Seeing him staring at her without saying anything, Tao Liangyuan put the two corns in her hand on the desk in front of him, "I hope you like it."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Shen Chuwei had been observing Tao Liangyuan and Song Qing. When she saw Tao Liangyuan put down the corn and left, she saw Song Qing looking at Tao Liangyuan with a confused look on his face.
When Tao Liangyuan came over, Shen Chuwei asked curiously: "Why don't you say a few more words?"
Tao Liangyuan turned back and secretly glanced at Song Qing, only to see him staring at the corn, "He is so smart, he should understand."
Shen Chuwei: "... But some nerds put their intelligence on reading."
Uh!!!
"Not really?" Tao Liangyuan looked back at Song Qing again and found that Song Qing was writing with a pen.
Shen Chuwei said: "It's hard to say."
After Song Qing finished writing, he put down the red pen, looked at the line of words on the rice paper, and silently said in his heart, I brought two corns to see you, I hope you like it.

When Xiao Jinyu returned to Qiancheng Hall, he happened to meet the little rabbit who sent corn. He had eaten corn before, and it tasted sweet and good.
He took the corn and walked into Han Yuxuan directly. As soon as he walked in, he saw his wife holding a kettle to water the flowers.
These days, Miss Han has been sleepy. It has only improved in the past two days, so she came out to water the flowers.
Xiao Jinyu strode over, stepped forward and hugged his wife's slender waist, raised a few corns in his hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law sent corn, it's still hot, you try it."
Miss Han looked at the corn in Xiao Jinyu's hand, which was steaming, and the fragrance was immediately fragrant.
"It smells so good."
Xiao Jinyu took the kettle from her and put it on the table beside her, then walked in with his wife.
After entering, Xiao Jinyu took his wife and sat down on the couch, opened the oil paper bag, took out a corn and handed it to his wife, "Eat it while it's hot, it smells especially good."
"Hmm." Miss Han took the corn and handed it to her lips and took a bite. The corn was very tender, juicy and sweet, and tasted very good.
Xiao Jinyu took out a corn and took a bite, and did not forget to report the afternoon schedule to his wife.
"I have to go out of the palace later. Song Tanhua is going to have a blind date, and I have to go to make it yellow. Do you want to go out and relax together?"
Miss Han was eating corn and was not interested in ruining other people's marriages.
"No, go by yourself."
Xiao Jinyu felt sorry for his wife who was staying in the deep palace and was depressed...
"I find that you are getting lazier and lazier now. You don't even want to go out. Is it because you have been in the palace for too long?"
Miss Han paused while biting the corn, raised her head and looked at the man beside her. She saw that his eyes were full of worry. She smiled lightly: "I just like quietness. Besides, I don't care how long I stay in the palace with you."
Xiao Jinyu was moved by her words, "Ayan, you are so nice."
Miss Han smiled lightly: "Eat corn."
Xiao Jinyu saw his wife smiling and couldn't help but look at her a few more times, because his wife rarely smiled.
"Well, my sister-in-law said that corn is a coarse grain. Eating more is good for you."
After eating the corn, Xiao Jinyu lay on his wife for a long time, and then reluctantly left the palace.
On the prosperous streets of the capital, the people who come in and out of Wuziju are all dignitaries. It is said that the boss behind the scenes is someone from the palace, and ordinary people can hardly enter.
Song Qing doesn't like this kind of blind date, but he is a colleague and has been rejected once, so he came here.
Walking into the agreed private room, Song Qing found that there were only three people inside, the prime minister and two young women.
Song Qing stepped forward and saluted, "The subordinate greets the prime minister."
The prime minister smiled and said, "Song Tanhua, there is no need to be polite, sit down and talk."
Song Qing nodded and sat down at the square table.
The prime minister happily introduced the two daughters beside him, "Song Tanhua, these two are my two daughters, the eldest daughter Xinyue, sixteen years old, and this is the second daughter Xinlian, fifteen years old."
Song Qing smiled and nodded, and regarded it as an acquaintance.
At the same time, in the private room next door, there was also a blind date.
Xu Qingqing was drinking tea boredly with a teacup. This was her eighteenth time to go home for a blind date. She was almost depressed by the urging to get married.
The family doesn't lack food for her, why do they force her to get married?
The man sitting opposite is the newly promoted champion, about 23 years old, not as tall as Jun Wuxian, but stronger than Jun Wuxian, and even worse in appearance.
If she marries him, the genes of the next generation's appearance will be greatly discounted, so what's the point of being a champion?
The man sitting next to Xu Qingqing is her younger brother Xu Changfeng, who accompanies her every blind date. He is handsome and heroic.
Xu Qingqing drank three cups of tea in a row, and was kicked in the calf by Xu Changfeng, indicating that she should express her opinion.
"Champion, you are excellent, but I have a tendency to violence. We are not suitable. You will meet a gentle woman." Xu Qingqing said with an embarrassed but polite smile.
The champion was originally very satisfied with Xu Qingqing. Whether it was her appearance or her family background, she was very suitable. He was the champion, and it could be said that they were well matched.
In the end, he was rejected...
Xu Changfeng looked at the top scholar. Not only did his sister look down on him, but he also looked down on him. He was at least as tall as him, right? He was not handsome, but at least more handsome, right?
But he didn't get it either.
After his sister expressed her feelings, he didn't stay for long and pulled her out of the box.
Xu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and finally she could go home.
Xu Changfeng pulled his sister and pointed to the private room next door, with a smirk on his face: "Sister, do you know who is going on a blind date next door?"
Xu Qingqing subconsciously thought that they were in the same boat, "Who? Is it because they are too old to get married?"
"Why do you care whether they are easy to get married? The point is, the one in there is the new third place winner. Let's go and join in the fun. Maybe we will be favored by the third place winner?"
Good night!
