I got back home just in time for lunch.
Since he didn't get the money directly, Zhao Hao was not in a good mood. He didn't mention a word about the literary duel and took the initiative to give up this opportunity to show off.
Su Si was quite surprised by his attitude.
After lunch, Zhao Hao took Lao Zhong out again.
With the hundred strings of cash from Lu Huairen, he could start opening a restaurant.
The oil pressing device has been completed. He has tried it several times in the past two days and the efficiency is quite acceptable.
With an output of thirty to fifty kilograms per day, it is no problem to supply a restaurant.
…
The most prosperous areas in the capital are East City and West City.
East City is where the nobles gather, so it is more prosperous than West City, with higher consumption and stronger purchasing power, so it is more appropriate to open a restaurant in East City.
However, the two of them walked around for a whole afternoon and still couldn't find a suitable shop.
Some are in bad locations, and some are not big enough.
According to his expectation, there should be at least three layers.
There are a few that meet the requirements and have excellent locations, but their businesses are doing well and there is no possibility of transfer.
Zhao Hao was a little annoyed and turned to look at Lao Zhong unhappily.
"Old Zhong, don't you have any connections or anything?"
"Master, what connections can I have? You used to make friends outside a lot, so you should have a lot of connections."
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes.
"My friends are all bad guys. They are good for eating and drinking, but they are useless for doing serious work!"
Old Zhong said, "Master, you don't need them to do anything big, just to find out who is selling the restaurant. For things like this, bad friends are still useful."
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and nodded.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Let's go back first. I'll go find them tomorrow!"
The two simply gave up looking and went home.
At this time, a girl in an emerald green dress walked quickly up to the two of them.
The girl bowed and said, "Master Zhao Hao, my princess invites you to come over!"
Zhao Hao was stunned: "Your princess?"
The girl nodded: "It's Princess Yongning!"
Zhao Hao's heart skipped a beat. Why did Princess Yongning suddenly look for him?
It has been quite some time since he came out of the prison.
Logically speaking, Princess Yongning should have known that she was released from prison a long time ago.
If you wanted to cause trouble for me, you should have done it a long time ago.
Now……
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what Princess Yongning was up to.
He had no choice but to ask tentatively: "Well, young lady, what does Her Royal Highness the Princess want to talk to me about?"
When Zhao Hao called her like that, the little girl's fair face turned red like an apple and she shook her head repeatedly.
"I don't know about this, Master Zhao will find out when he goes with me!"
Zhao Hao pursed his lips and smiled. This little girl is quite fun.
"Okay, then please lead the way."
Letting Lao Zhong go back first, he followed the little girl to a very quiet and elegant teahouse.
In a box on the third floor, he met Princess Yongning.
Princess Yongning wore a lavender dress with her long black hair tied behind her back.
When he saw Zhao Hao come in, the originally comfortable expression on his face suddenly became serious.
Zhao Hao stopped and bowed.
"Greetings, Princess. May I ask what you want me to do for you?"
There was a flash of surprise in Princess Yongning's eyes. She didn't expect Zhao Hao to be so polite, but her face was still cold.
"Zhao Hao, when you see me, don't you even want to say a word of apology?"
Zhao Hao reacted quickly and fell to his knees with a plop.
"Your Highness, ever since I committed that heinous mistake, I have been in endless regret all the time. I have thought about taking the initiative to apologize to Your Highness, but I really can't face you. I, I am simply a beast who has eaten enough and is worse than me, wuwuwu..."
Zhao Hao was possessed by the actor, and at the end of his speech, he actually burst into tears, which even scared himself.
The drama came so unexpectedly.
Seeing that he was crying, Princess Yongning's expression eased a little, and she said in a cold voice: "Okay, get up. How can a man of your stature cry like this?"
Zhao Hao quickly took advantage of the situation and stood up while saying, "Yes, thank you for your magnanimity, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness!"
Princess Yongning said, "Zhao Hao, the reason I'm looking for you today is not because of what happened between you and me."
Zhao Hao was a little surprised and asked quickly: "Your Highness, no matter what it is, as long as I need to do it, I will do my best!"
Princess Yongning was very satisfied with his attitude and nodded slightly.
"Okay, then I won't beat around the bush. I'm asking you, who wrote the two poems you competed with Lu Huairen in at the Golden Autumn Literary Conference today?"
Oh, you came for Jin Qiuwen, found out about the two poems I wrote, and then directly concluded that they were not written by me?
Well, considering its notorious reputation in the past, it's normal to have such thoughts.
Well, I will tell you in person. You will be shocked. Then your admiration for me will be like a surging river, endless...
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao straightened his chest and said with a smile on his face, "Your Highness, the author of these two poems is not someone else, but me!"
As he spoke, he turned his body slightly to the side and raised his head to forty-five degrees, as if his entire body was bathed in light.
But unfortunately, he did not receive Princess Yongning's shocked and admiring gaze.
On the contrary, there was calm disgust in Princess Yongning's beautiful eyes.
It seemed that this answer had been anticipated.
She said in a deep voice: "Zhao Hao, you just said that if something happens to me, you must do your best. Is this how you do it?"
Zhao Hao said quickly: "Your Highness, what I said is absolutely true. Those two poems were indeed written by me."
Bang!
Princess Yongning slammed her jade hand on the table, and the water in the teacup splashed out.
She shouted in a low voice: "Zhao Hao, how can a good-for-nothing like you write such a famous poem? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Zhao Hao said helplessly: "Your Highness, why is the prejudice so strong? Your Highness asked, do I have to make up a non-existent person? That would be disrespectful to Your Highness!"
"you……"
Princess Yongning was extremely angry.
"So, you are determined not to tell me the truth?"
Zhao Hao was so speechless that he wanted to walk away, but his mind told him not to do that.
He really couldn't afford to offend Her Royal Highness the Princess.
However, what should I do if the other party refuses to believe me?
He was just thinking with his head down when Princess Yongning said, "Zhao Hao, I heard that you are looking for a shop, but you haven't found a suitable one yet? As long as you tell me the truth about the person who wrote for you, I promise to find you the best one."
Zhao Hao's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, are you serious?"
