Lu Song and Jinghong looked at Zhu Hao with bewildered eyes at the same time.

As for Jinghong, he didn't believe that Zhu Hao had that ability. He actually said that Yue's novel was written by him, and that he was the owner behind this stall?

As for Lu Song, he never expected that Zhu Hao would actually ask him to become a shareholder.

"Lu Dianzhan, I don't need to pay too much. I just need your help to take care of me. I'll share some of the profits every month. Don't put too much pressure on me. My son and I are classmates. We should take care of each other more."

." Zhu Hao's tone was extremely natural, and his eyes when he looked at Lu Song were full of sincerity.

Jinghong turned his head to look at Lu Song again.

It's true that his son is your classmate, but you said you want to take care of his classmate's father? Come on, he is a model of the royal family! Do you think he is a busker on the streets?

As expected, Lu Song was so angry that he almost slammed the table and said sternly: "I don't need it!"

After saying that, he stood up and left first.

At first, the conversation between them was quite harmonious. Zhu Hao proposed to let Lu Song become a shareholder, but Lu Song immediately walked away. Everything happened very suddenly.

Lu Song was gone. Jinghong was still confused: "Why is Lu Dianzhan gone?"

Zhu Hao couldn't help but smile.

How could he not see that Lu Song came to the bookstore with him today intentionally to test? It was probably the instruction from the senior officials of the palace, such as Yuan Zonggao.

But Lu Song is secretly connected with Jin Yiwei. Such a person is struggling to survive in the cracks, so how can he be easily tied to Zhu Hao's interests?

Zhu Hao knew clearly that Lu Song would not agree, and deliberately offered to let him become a shareholder. In fact, it was to prevent Lu Song from going back to pay the bills. Did he tell the person who asked him to come that this bookstore was actually opened by Zhu Hao, and also let him become a shareholder? He is a small boy.

What ability does a child have to open a bookstore? Why does he want you to become a shareholder?

Can everything be explained clearly?

You come and test me, and I will respond in the opposite direction, in a fair and reasonable manner.

It was your choice to leave out of shame, but don't think that I didn't show my kindness to you. Of course, I also know that you don't need my kindness.

Zhu Hao looked at the storyteller on the stage who was stunned for a moment and then continued to speak, and said with a smile: "Maybe Lu Dianzhan feels that he has an iron rice bowl in his hand and doesn't want to get involved in other professions, or he doesn't believe in the sincerity of a child like me.

.”

Jinghong came over and asked, "Did you really write this story?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back!"

The two continued to listen to storytelling.

The weather this time was much colder than last time, but the listeners who came to listen to the book generally left later than last time. By the second watch, the number of people staying there was more than double that of last time.

Zhu Hao could understand that this was a nightlife habit that the people of Anlu Prefecture gradually formed.

This time Zhu Hao and Jinghong went back relatively late. It was not until half past the second watch that Zhu Hao asked Jinghong to go back together.

This was the peak time for listeners to leave, and people along the way were commenting on the plot of the storytelling. Zhu Hao’s strategy for Yu San was to tell a storytelling story in turn every day. It was not necessary to listen to the story completely, but every story must be told in turn.

Each paragraph should have the burden of catching people, so that even if it cannot be picked up again, it can be quickly integrated into the new story.

When we arrived at the door of the residence in the west courtyard of Wangfu, we still didn't see Lu Song.

Zhu Hao didn't ask the guard about Lu Song's whereabouts. Maybe he left the bookstore and went home directly.

Early the next morning, after Lu Bing arrived, Zhu Hao asked casually: "Did your father come home last night?"

Lu Bing shook his head: "I don't know."

"You didn't see your father this morning?" Zhu Hao asked again.

Lu Bing still shook his head.

"What about your mother?"

When Zhu Hao asked the next question, Lu Bing still shook his head.

Only then did Zhu Hao understand that the Lu family's situation was different.

Both Lu Song and his wife worked in the palace, and Lu Bing was usually taken care of by the elderly at home, so the palace directly brought Lu Bing into the palace as a companion, regardless of his selection results. This was mostly because of the fact that this boy usually took care of the children.

Lack of parental care, the palace will take care of it as appropriate.

The three of them arrived at the school together.

When passing by the yard next door that was being repaired, Zhu Hao took a special look. The craftsmen had been busy early in the morning. Zhu Hao wanted to find an acquaintance to ask about the progress, but unfortunately he didn't see a familiar face.

After entering the school building, after waiting for a long time, Zhu Si arrived, but Zhu San was nowhere to be seen.

"Why are you the only one?" Zhu Hao asked.

Zhu Si sat down, yawned and said, "Today Mr. Sui returned to the palace to teach Third Brother alone. He asked me to come over and study with you."

Zhu Hao suddenly understood that the palace was still keeping a secret on the identity of the crown prince.

Perhaps Sui Gong was always asked to teach Zhu Si in the past. If Zhu Hao and Jinghong turned around and brought this news out, it would inevitably lead to people's imagination and confirm that Zhu Si was the real crown prince of Prince Xing.

In this case, let Zhu San also enjoy the treatment of running a small stove and throw Zhu Si here.

Zhu Hao originally wanted to ask the Zhu siblings about any "happy events" in the palace last night, but when he thought about it, maybe the palace released the news just for him to inquire about it?

If you are asking the friend you have always claimed to be inquiring about things that are inconsistent with your age, doesn't it mean that your theory of loyalty is just to fool us, but in fact you are still spying on the palace for the family?

That being the case, I'd better not ask.

Anyway, I know that you, Zhu Si, will not have any younger brothers or sisters in the future. This is enough. And the palace wants to use Zhu Hao to release false news to the outside world, maybe it is that the princess is pregnant, right?

Do you really think that I am a child and will be fooled by you?

"Is Mr. Sui not coming to the school again today?" Jinghong asked.

Zhu Si shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Zhu Hao looked at Lu Bing on the side, called him over, and took out a piece of sorghum glutinous rice.

Lu Bing's eyes lit up, he took it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhu Si asked: "Zhu Hao, what are you doing?"

"I'll give Lu Bing something to eat, do you want to eat it?" Zhu Hao deliberately tested Zhu Si.

Zhu Si shook his head. Although he didn't say anything, he remembered that the siblings had said before that the palace had specially told them not to eat whatever Zhu Hao gave them, so that made sense. It seemed that they had relaxed their vigilance against him.

, but in fact, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so the defense against him is no less than before.

Pack.

Then install it.

"Okay, let's study!"

Zhu Hao took out the book he had compiled.

He has an important thing to do today, which is to write the next novel. Otherwise, the bookstore he opened will not be able to attract more listeners and make money openly.

A day of letting things go.

Zhu Hao did not give lectures on stage, but just sat at his desk and wrote.

Because Zhu San was away, there was less noise in the classroom. During the break, Jinghong invited Zhu Hao to play chess, but he refused.

Jinghong wanted to see what Zhu Hao was writing, but Zhu Hao didn't give him a chance.

"I'll sleep for a while first."

At noon, Jinghong did not go to eat, but lay on the desk to catch up on his sleep.

Zhu Si was going to take Lu Bing back to the inner courtyard for lunch. Seeing Jinghong's appearance, he asked in confusion: "Jinghong, why are you sleepy today?"

In the past, it was Zhu Hao who was sleeping soundly there. Why did Jinghong become the one who was passive and lazy in studying today? This is completely different from the usual attitude of Jinghong who is dedicated to learning.

Could it be that lethargy is also contagious?

Jinghong naturally can't say. In fact, I escaped the night yesterday and went out to listen to storytelling until very late. When I came back, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for a long time because I was worried about the plot of storytelling. As a result, I was not energetic today, but I am not the kind of person who likes to be in class.

People who go to bed can only catch up on their sleep during the lunch break.

Zhu Hao said: "It's been cold these past two days. He may be sick. You go back and I'll bring him food."

As he spoke, Zhu Hao picked up his schoolbag and left.

Jinghong looked at Zhu Hao. He didn't like Zhu Hao lying for him, but the look Zhu Hao looked back at him seemed to be telling him, if you are not satisfied with my lies, you can explain yourself!

In the end, Jinghong could only lie down and sleep.

Zhu Hao had lunch at noon and returned to the study very early, bringing a salt and pepper rice ball wrapped in rice dumpling leaves for Jinghong.

Then he ran to the next yard to watch the fun.

The craftsmen all went back to eat at noon, leaving tools and wood on the ground. After Zhu Hao went in and took a look, he was sure of one thing. This place was really not going to be converted into a dormitory. Many bookshelves were customized and it was obvious at a glance that they were used to store books.

Yes, it’s hard to say whether we will move a few beds here later.

The palace wants to build a "library" next to the school building?

Sounds good, but the problem is

Isn't there a study hall over there in the inner courtyard? There are five rooms in the front and back of the study hall, and the first room is the study room. There wouldn't be room for books in such a large area?
