Chapter 120

The warm water vapor wetted Shen Xian's hair, and the hair on the sideburns stuck together one by one, forming a lovely arc around Shen Xian's forehead.

She turned her head slightly and thought for a while and said, "Husband, have you ever heard an old saying?"

Zhao Shun saw her cheating, so he cooperated and asked, "What old saying?"

"Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflake silver."

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Shun's expression was a little heavy. After all, he thought too little.

Shen Xian pulled out his hand, and lightly rubbed away the heaviness between his brows, "When you go to the capital, you will follow the old path of imperial examinations like ordinary people, and you must not ask General Xiao to help you at all, or if Yu Wenji finds out, all previous efforts will be wasted. "

Zhao Shun grabbed Shen Xian's slender hands again, and covered his cheeks, "So I can only work hard on my good wife, helping me earn a higher level, right?"

"That's right!" Shen Xian pinched his face mischievously, and made a grimace.

Zhao Shun kissed the back of her hand and closed his eyes deeply, "Miss, the kindness you have given me is as great as a mountain, and I will never be able to repay you in this lifetime."

"You're not allowed to say such outrageous things." Shen Xian puffed up his mouth unhappily, "When your wish is fulfilled, we can live the life we ​​like."

"Well! My lady, I love you."

"Oh, you're taking a shower, and you're talking sweet words to coax people again!"

The day agreed with the carpenter arrived soon, Shen Xian got up early to go to the workshop to pick up the goods.

"Hey, the little lady came early enough. I prepared the things overnight. Check to see if the numbers are right." The carpenter brother's voice was full of air, with a bit of bubbly.

Shen Xian took a careful inventory, including the stilling pot, there were a total of more than thirty items, and he pushed them on the ground.

"It's broken, I forgot to find someone to help me move things."

Shen Xian patted his forehead, and realized that he forgot about this.

"Hahaha, it's not a big deal, as long as the little woman is willing to pay, I, apprentices, can send you." The carpenter said heartily.

"That's a good thing, I'll trouble a few little masters."

Those who can come to do carpentry work, there are not many who are afraid of hardship, and a few young masters have the strength of a whole body.

After Shen Xian paid the final payment, he gave more than a dozen copper coins, and asked the little master to help move the things home.

The next work is relatively simple, assembling and splicing, waiting for the little beggar to send the petals, and then the perfume can be developed.

After assembling the tools for making perfume, Shen Xian ran to the market to buy a large piece of lard, boiled it into a paste in a pot, and then stirred vigorously.

Until the afternoon, the little beggar brought four or five beggars to Shen Xian's house, each carrying a basket of flower petals.

"Is sister Shen at home?"

The little beggar put the basket on the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

After waiting for a while, no one opened the door. The old beggar behind the little beggar looked a little anxious. He sighed and said, "I said you must have been tricked by someone. Who can do anything with these petals?"

The little beggar looked at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Sister Shen won't lie to me, she must be busy!"

"You, you're just stubborn." The old beggar angrily threw the bamboo basket on the ground, leaned his hands against the wall and waited. After all, he had worked so hard to pick it, so he couldn't bear to leave just like that.

After a while, Shen Xian opened the door while coughing, his eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

"I'm sorry everyone, I just smoked my eyes from burning firewood, and I haven't recovered for a long time."

Seeing Shen Xian open the door, the little beggar proudly raised his chin at the old beggar. The old beggar smiled and asked: "Girl, are you really willing to pay for flower petals?"

Shen Xian nodded as a matter of course, "Of course it's true, bring it in quickly, and pay by the catty."

The few beggars behind the little beggar were all unkempt. Looking at the exquisite and clean courtyard, they moved their feet and shrank back.

"Hehehe, we won't go in. When you have done your calculations, just let Erwa take it out and give it to us." The old beggar showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and smiled cheerfully.

Shen Xian glanced at the little beggar in surprise, "You actually have a name, why haven't I heard you mention it."

The little beggar held a bamboo basket and said with a sneer, "The name is not good, I'm afraid you will laugh at me."

"I have a lot of minds, wait, I'll get the scale out."

Shen Xian smiled and gave him a blank look, and took out the portable scale from the room. The petals are very light, only two catties in a bamboo basket.

"There are five baskets in total, one basket is two catties, which is ten catties, and one catty will be counted as ten copper coins for you, a total of one hundred."

Counting carefully from the money bag, Shen Xian took out a hundred copper coins, Erwa was so excited that she had no place to put her hands, and after searching for a long time, she couldn't find a place to put the money, so she had to hold a lot of money in her hands go outside.

"Look, I told you that Sister Shen won't lie to us!"

The eyes of the beggars were straightened, and they had never seen such money in most of their lives.

"Hurry up, share one point." An old beggar with a tooth lost danced, "That old bastard, Old Hei, is going to regret it now, he really has money to take!"

Erwa was overjoyed, and said in a high tone: "That's right, they don't believe me!"

Shen Xian glanced over those old beggars, most of them had bad legs and feet, and one was blind in one eye, and compassion immediately arose in his heart.

"You wait here first."

After saying hello, Shen Xian turned around and went into the kitchen, mixed the leftover lunch together, made it into rice bowls, and shared a plate with each person.

"Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva!"

Lao Huang, who was missing teeth, was not moved when he saw the money, because it was his hard-earned money, but when he saw the food, he was so excited that he burst into tears.

"I haven't eaten for days."

Including Erwa, several beggars ate with their plates, Shen Xian's eyes were sour, and he couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

"Don't worry, I will collect these petals for a long time. As long as you are willing to work, I will let you make money. Then you can live in the house and don't have to wander outside."

Lao Huang wiped the plate clean, and patted the second baby's head with tears, "You baby, you have met a nobleman."

Erwa grinned, "Old Huang, you cry so ugly."

Lao Huang's face froze, and he gave him a head angrily, "Who, who is crying, I was blinded by the wind and sand!"

After seeing Erwa and a few beggars off, Shen Xian sat on the steps of the courtyard, quietly looking up at the red sky.

She was thinking, if Zhao Shun brought down Yu Wenji, would the world be better off? Although she didn't have big ambitions, she always couldn't see ordinary people suffering.

Before time travel, she was a person who didn't like to follow the news. Every time she saw someone pitifully looking down on the doctor or eating, she would feel sad.

Shen Xian raised his hands, his thumbs and index fingers formed a frame, facing the star that just shone brightly.

"Destroy you on behalf of the moon~"
