Bai Sheng combined the concepts of modern entertainment venues and proposed many novel and interesting ideas.
For example, the target consumer group for the Wazi should be clearly defined – whether it is for ordinary citizens or for the wealthy and powerful. The decoration should take this into account.
Furthermore, entertainment programs within the Wazi should be set according to the consumer group, such as opera stages, traditional music, storytelling, juggling, poetry gatherings, and so on.
In short, it is necessary to analyze the consumption psychology of customers, catering to their preferences, and regularly creating novelty.
Qing Yu listened intently and took notes with paper and pen.
Wen Zhi Mo also listed many points that needed attention based on his years of business experience, helping to avoid various risks.
Lu Ye was not a businessman himself, but by following his beloved, he learned a lot over time. Coupled with his inherent intelligence, he seemed to have grasped the essence of commercial operations.
He also offered many constructive suggestions to Qing Yu.
Seeing his elder brother and sister-in-law chatting animatedly with guests, the Lu Yun children hurried to the small courtyard to deliver food.
Uncle Cripple and Uncle Mad felt for the first time that living in this small courtyard wasn't so bad after eating the food they delivered.
After the Wei family’s young master left, Bai Sheng and Lu Ye quickly entered the space.
They eagerly brought out their third child, Jin Rui.
Bai Sheng kissed Rui Rui's face several times. "Our Rui Rui is actually a little strongman! Come, Dad will place the bag in Rui Rui's hand and see if our Rui Rui can lift it."
Lu Ye placed a cloth bag containing a stone about the size of a head into Rui Rui's tiny hand.
Rui Rui naturally wanted to show his immense strength to his parents. He hoped his mother would hold him and kiss him more in the future.
His small arm moved slightly, and the cloth bag was effortlessly lifted.
"My heavens!" Bai Sheng looked at Lu Ye in shock.
Lu Ye's lips curved upwards in a proud smile. "Beloved, the offspring born to us are truly extraordinary."
It was no wonder the space quadrupled in size when she gave birth to four children.
Who wouldn't love such a child? It made her want to have a few more.
After the couple shared a hearty laugh, their gazes simultaneously shifted to their second child, wondering what surprise the second child would bring them.
The second child, Jin Ye, was anxious. His brows were furrowed, his little legs were twitching incessantly.
Eldest Sister, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother all possessed great abilities, but in the eyes of his parents, he seemed like a fool.
But he wasn't a fool; he was very smart.
It's just that he couldn't even speak yet, so his great abilities couldn't be displayed at all!
Ah, he was so anxious!
Seeing her second child's little face turn red, his brows furrowed, and hearing him grunt from his throat, Bai Sheng assumed he was straining to defecate. She immediately picked him up to check. After pulling down his pants, she discovered his little bottom was clean.
"My little Ye Ye, you're not pooping, so why are you straining like this!" Bai Sheng rubbed his little buttocks twice.
The other three children, seeing this, actually giggled, "Ah-gaga."
Lu Ye also laughed heartily, showing all his teeth.
However, Bai Sheng still kissed Rui Rui's little face repeatedly. Even if Rui Rui were ordinary and plain, she would love him just the same.
In reality, no matter what kind of children she had, they were all her beloved.
The Imperial Palace.
The Empress and Princess Xin Yao's people had discovered that Lu Ye and his wife had brought several of their children to the capital.
However, they had not yet found out their exact location within the capital.
Additionally, Zheng Wei and other elite guards might have been completely eliminated by Prince Yu and Lu Ye.
This was because it was rumored that the former Magistrate of Guo County in Taisha Commandery had colluded with Zheng Wei to assassinate Prince Yu and the man named Lu Ye. Subsequently, all the assassins had vanished without a trace.
The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace had suffered significant losses among its elite guards. The Empress increasingly felt that they were all a bunch of useless people. To this day, they hadn't managed to harm the "mud-legged" man even slightly, yet the elite guard camp had lost twenty to thirty men!
This time, she decided to deploy her own covert guards to investigate Lu Ye's whereabouts in the capital.
She sternly commanded the covert guards to find the Lu family, even if it meant turning the capital upside down, and vowed that she would ensure they all met a terrible end!
The two covert guards, judging by the Empress's ferocious expression and fierce tone, understood they had received a very important mission.
However, the two covert guards were not foolish enough to actually turn the entire capital upside down; that would exhaust them to death!
They considered themselves very clever and believed they could precisely narrow down the search scope.
Therefore, before starting their search, the two sat down and carefully analyzed the information they had.
This Lu family's patriarch was named Lu Ye, and his wife was Bai Sheng, a slave wife. The couple had four infants in total. Furthermore, Lu Ye had two younger brothers, Lu Yun and Lu Yu, and a younger sister, Lu Hua.
Currently, their entire family was in the capital and had brought many servants.
It was said they were there for business.
What kind of business were they engaged in?
Coming from a remote, impoverished area, even if they were doing business in the capital, it would inevitably be some small stalls or shops that were not considered high-class.
Therefore, streets crowded with small shops and vendors should be the first places they searched.
At the same time, this large family had also brought several servants; where would they be staying?
Their residences would certainly not be small, and since they were doing business, they would definitely not live in the outskirts of the capital.
However, coming to the capital, the "mud-legged" people would certainly not be able to afford luxurious mansions.
A simple two-courtyard residence would be the most they could manage, so they would certainly not be in streets where the wealthy and powerful were concentrated.
The two covert guards initially outlined the search radius and confidently prepared for an easy capture.
Just as they were about to set off, Princess Xin Yao, accompanied by several attendants, arrived with an imposing demeanor.
The princess was too bold, openly intruding into a man's residence. However, they were merely the Empress's covert guards, and it was not their place to discipline the princess.
"Your subordinates pay their respects to the Fifth Princess! May I ask what orders the Fifth Princess has?" Covert Guard A knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and asked respectfully.
Princess Xin Yao looked at the two covert guards with arrogance and slowly said, "I heard that Mother Empress wants you to search for the Lu family?"
Covert Guard A hesitated for a moment and replied, "Precisely."
"Very good," Princess Xin Yao smiled. "If you find the Lu family, report to me immediately. Besides Lu Ye, you can deal with the others as you please. I want you to bring Lu Ye back alive and in one piece!"
"This..." Covert Guard A looked hesitant. In fact, the Empress had only asked them to find the family and had not specified how to handle them.
Even if they were to be killed, it would have to await the Empress's direct orders.
Princess Xin Yao, without waiting for the covert guard's reply, said coldly, "Do not tell Mother Empress about this matter, or I will make sure you have a very unpleasant death!"
With that, she left without looking back, leading her attendants.
Covert Guard A and B exchanged glances and sighed softly.
After the two covert guards set off, the two little mice in the covert guard room immediately scurried into an underground passage and ran like lightning outside the imperial palace, heading towards Yuhua Alley.
Although it was broad daylight, they cleverly avoided humans, traversed secluded passages and wall corners, and ran towards Yuhua Alley without stopping.
Along the way, they encountered the pursuit of several cats, the nosiness of two dogs, and the sudden appearance of a stinky human foot. Several times they were nearly killed, but they still ran with all their might.
This was a great opportunity for them to prove their worth to their master, and they were determined to seize it.
