“Are they really that rich?” Xiao ran asked.
Daoist priest Xuan Yang’s eyes lit up. Since Xiao ran asked this question, he was most likely tempted. They’re very rich, and every visitor who comes to offer incense has to buy another incense stick. The lowest price for an incense stick is 100 taels, and the highest is 10000 taels. ”
He muttered to himself.
“You can go back first. Let me think about this,” Xiao ran said.
“I’ll be waiting for your news. ” Daoist priest Xuan Yang had made the right bet.
Just as he was about to leave, Shi Ming came looking for him and saw Xiao ran rushing over.
He was also carrying some gifts in his hands.
Daoist priest Xuan Yang smiled.”I won’t disturb you any further.”
With a flick of his horsetail whisk, he left elegantly.
“Benefactor!” Shi Ming called out enthusiastically.
“I just did it in passing, I can’t afford to be called a benefactor.” Xiao ran shook his head.
“If it wasn’t for you, the matter between me and sun Hu wouldn’t have been resolved so easily. Also, these one hundred taels have helped me a lot. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll starve to death before the Ministry of Revenue’s subsidy is given out. ”
“Just call me brother Xiao.” Xiao ran said.
He opened the door and walked in.
Shi Ming followed behind him and closed the door.
They arrived at the backyard.
Gold one placed the teapot in front of Xiao ran and patrolled the yard again.
He had a lot of responsibilities now. He had to be responsible for both houses.
He poured two cups of tea and handed one over.”This is the Royal Tea of the palace, snow ginseng tea. Try it.”
“Thank you, brother Xiao.” Shi Ming was grateful.
He took a sip of the tea. As the tea entered his stomach, the fragrance remained and it contained a strong spiritual power. Even though he rarely drank tea, he knew that this was the best.
“Good tea.”
“The court examinations are in three days. How confident are you?” Xiao ran asked.
“Seventy percent.” Shi Ming seriously thought for a moment before answering.
“If you are the top student in high school, what are your plans for the future?”
“Filling the stomach, solving the warm situation, and then working for the welfare of the people. If you can’t even fill your own stomach, everything else is empty. Moreover, what was the point of studying hard for ten years? After suffering so many grievances, she just wants to make a name for herself and be a good person. ” Shi Ming said honestly.
“You shouldn’t have come to me.” Xiao ran shook his head.
Shi Ming’s gaze was firm,”I understand what you’re referring to, but I’m indebted to you. Even if some people are dissatisfied because of this and my future is ruined, I’ll still accept it. Even if it doesn’t work out, with my current results, I can still get a small official position, and my first wish can be easily realized. ”
“I offended a few people in the examination, and even that person in the palace was very unhappy. I captured the twelfth Prince and the ninth Prince myself and interrogated them. Aren’t you afraid?”
His sharp gaze fell on him, as if he wanted to see through him.
As long as he lied, he would not be able to hide it from Xiao ran’s eyes.
Shi Ming laughed freely,”brother Xiao, you’re looking down on me too much. If I’m afraid, I’d have already begged sun Hu for mercy. He wouldn’t make things difficult for me.”
He took the teapot and poured a cup for Xiao ran.
After taking a sip of tea, Shi Ming continued,””I’m sure you’ve already guessed the purpose of my visit, brother Xiao. Firstly, it’s to thank you for your help, and secondly, it’s to join your sect. ”
“There’s no love without reason, and there’s no hatred without reason. You are not an idiot to be able to get into jieyuan and Huiyuan. Otherwise, you would not be able to stand out from the other exam candidates. ”
His gaze was stern.
“You have to think carefully. I can help you, but when I need you, you can’t back off even if you know that you’re going to die. ”
Shi Ming stood up from the stone bench and cupped his fists in greeting.”If I’m afraid of death, I’m not Shi Ming.”
“Sit.” Xiao ran smiled and pointed at the stone bench opposite him.
“The relationship between you and me can’t be hidden from those who want to know, especially that person in the palace. He won’t let you enter the top three. You have to be prepared for this. ”
“Success is in the hands of the heavens, and planning is in the hands of man.” Shi Ming said.
“I’ll write you a letter. Take this letter and find Fu Xianhe, Master Fu. When you reach his place, you’ll listen to his arrangements.” Xiao ran said.
“Thank you, brother Xiao!” Shi Ming was excited.
Xiao ran took out a pen washi, wrote a letter, and handed it to him.
“Go find him now. With him, we might not get the top scorer, but we can still compete for the second place and Tanhua.”
“Yes.” Shi Ming bade farewell and left.
He put down the teacup.
Xiao ran’s eyes flickered.”I wonder if this chess piece can be of any use.”
They left the manor.
They arrived at the Imperial prison.
Zhang Yu came up to him.”You’re here, my Lord.”
“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.
Zhang Yu handed the document over.”The higher-ups want to send a Tiger demon from purgatory on its way. What do you think, Sir?”
“I know.” Xiao ran took the document.
He had entered purgatory.
He stopped at the first cell, opened the cell door, and walked in.
Seeing him come over, the eldest Princess put down her pen and rubbed her aching wrist. She thought unhappily in her heart, in order to help you earn money, do you think it’s easy for me?
He pointed at the dozens of copybooks on the side.
“Help me deal with it.”
“Eh? Your calligraphy skills seem to have improved. ” Xiao ran’s eyes lit up.
Compared to before, the eldest princess’s calligraphy skills had already reached the pinnacle.
“Nonsense! My realm is already very high, and I practice writing every day without being distracted like you, so my writing skills will naturally improve. ” The eldest Princess rolled her eyes.
He put the copybooks into his seven treasures Jade belt.
Holding her soft hand, the eldest princess’s delicate body trembled. Her cheeks blushed, and her face was as red as the sunset. A special gentleness was exuded. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, Xiao ran said,””I’ll help you rub it. ”
