What did you say? Am I a pauper again?

Chapter 138 Then help with some work

Jing Yuanzhi and Lu Yao looked up together and saw the fourth sister.

"Fourth sister, why are you here?" Doesn't the fourth sister usually practice in her palace? Why are you visiting the forest garden now?

Luo Shui did not answer Jing Yuanzhi's question, but looked at Lu Yao who was standing next to her.

When Yuan Zhi saw it, he quickly explained to her: "Fourth sister, I will take Lu Xiao out for a walk."

Luo Shui frowned and looked at the scholar, "Is your injury still not healed?"

Lu Yao saw the displeasure in Luo Shui's eyes and was about to step forward to speak when he was stopped by Jing Yuanzhi.

"Fourth sister, the injury on his body has healed, but the injury on his face was contaminated with the juice of some grass. Hu Bei has not been able to find an exact treatment, so it has not been cured yet."

Hearing this, Luo Shui looked at Lu Yao's face and frowned even more tightly.

"Wherever you want to go shopping, I'll go with you." Luo Shui didn't know why. She always felt that it was not good for the scholar to stay with his younger brother. She always felt that the scholar would harm his younger brother.

"Okay, Fourth Sister, you finally came out, then come with us for a walk." Jing Yuan stepped forward and took Luo Shui's hand, walking together intimately.

Lu Yao walked beside them, looked at Luo Shui with a cold face, and lowered his eyes. The fourth princess disliked him very much.

why?

Lu Yao thought back on what he had done since he came to Xiling Mountain, and he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

"Your name is Lu Xiao?"

Lu Yao was just thinking about something when Luo Shui suddenly spoke to him.

Surprised for a moment, he nodded and said, "My name is Lu Xiao."

"Why did you come to Xiling Mountain?" Luo Shui asked.

Xiling Mountain is the territory of the Fox Clan, which is far away from the human world. There are basically no human settlements near the mountain. Why did Lu Xiao suddenly appear here and be chased by the snake demon?

Of course it’s to break into the Fox Clan!
Jing Yuanzhi added silently in his heart.

"I was going to Beijing to take the exam. After passing through Huangshui County, I encountered heavy rain. I hurriedly found an abandoned house to rest. After the rain stopped, I realized that I couldn't find my way back. I walked to Xiling. At the foot of the mountain, we unfortunately encountered a snake demon, but fortunately, we were saved by His Highness."

Lu Yao said respectfully.

"Then aren't you in a hurry to go to the capital to take the exam?" Luo Shui asked.

If I stay here any longer, won't I miss the exam time? Don't all the scholars take this exam very seriously? If you miss it once, you have to wait three years.

Lu Yao paused and did not think carefully about this.

He smiled bitterly and said, "It's definitely too late to rush there now. It's better to just recover here and wait for three years before going."

"Wouldn't that be a waste of three years?" Jing Yuanzhi said.

Lu Yao had a look of relief on his face: "Some things are destiny. Even if I catch up now, I will definitely not be able to perform at my usual level due to the fatigue these days. I might as well study hard for another three years."

"Indeed." Luo Shui nodded.

Seeing that she agreed with his point of view, Lu Yao looked at Luo Shui with some surprise.

"I just think your idea is good. If you work hard to catch up this time, you will be tired and exhausted when you arrive, you will definitely fail the exam." Luo Shui glanced at Lu Yao and said.

She just agreed with this view, but it didn't mean that her feelings towards him had changed.

Jing Yuanzhi said with a smile: "If Brother Lu thinks so, it would be better to stay here for a while and wait until the injury is completely healed before leaving."

Lu Yao looked at Jing Yuanzhi and then at Luo Shui, and nodded his thanks: "It's just too much trouble."

"It's okay, these are all trivial matters, your injury is the big deal." Jing Yuanzhi said boldly.

Luo Shui frowned. She still didn't want Lu Xiao to stay in the Fox Clan. She always felt that something big would happen.

However, he did not refute his younger brother's face in front of outsiders. The three of them walked through most of the palace before they separated.

"Brother, why do you want Lu Xiao to stay in the Fox Clan?" Lu Xiao left, and Luo Shui directly asked the question in his mind.

"Fourth sister, let me tell you, I found that most of the foxes in the clan are very interested in mortals, especially scholars. However, they have stayed in the clan since they were young and have no understanding of the mortal world. They are also simple and kind. Once they leave the clan, It’s easy to be deceived by those insidious mortals.”

Luo Shui frowned and looked at Jing Yuanzhi. She knew this, but most demons accepted death and were relatively persistent and simple. Therefore, as soon as they went out, they were easily attracted by those mortal men and gave up their cultivation and even their lives.

She knew this. Every fox in the clan would be given careful instructions by the elders before going down the mountain, but some were still too stupid to listen.

"Fourth Sister, let me tell you, isn't this Lu Xiao a very good tool for our Fox Clan?"

What do you mean?
"Fourth sister, that's it, let the fox in our clan use Lu Xiao to stay in the clan @#￥%"

Luo Shui's frown gradually relaxed as he listened, and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Back at the palace, Jing Yuanzhi thought that it would still be a long time. She wanted to go up to the human world tonight. The mortal world closest to Xiling Mountain could be reached in an hour with the help of magic. She could go in the afternoon and come back in the evening.

Just thinking about it, Jing Yuanzhi picked up the little fox, changed into simple and ordinary clothes, and left Xiling Mountain.

"Woo~" Where to go?

Jing Yuanzhi looked at the little fox in his arms in surprise, and he actually talked to her!
"Let's go to the mortal world and buy some things."

When the little fox heard that he was about to die in the mortal world, he found a comfortable position in her arms and closed his eyes to sleep.

Jing Yuanzhi took a look, his eyes slightly curved, the little fox should regard her as one of his own now.

An hour is not long, it will arrive soon.

Jing Yuanzhi stopped outside the town. Just as he was about to cast a spell to transform himself into an ordinary young man, a figure suddenly appeared next to him.

"Mo Qi?"

"Why are you here?"

Mo Qi looked at Jing Yuanzhi and said calmly: "Brother, stop calling?"

Jing Yuanzhi glanced at him, calling him brother?

Are you worthy?
Jing Yuanzhi ignored him and did his own thing. After changing his appearance, he cast a spell on the little fox and turned it into a small pendant and hung it on his belt. The little fox must have fallen asleep and he didn't object.

After the transformation was completed and he felt there was no problem, Jing Yuanzhi entered the town.

Mo Qi glanced at him, changed his body shape and followed him.

Seeing this man following her, Jing Yuanzhi didn't want to care about him. She had to hurry up and do her own things.

After entering the town, we went straight to the book store.

"Boss, give me a few copies of the Four Books and Five Classics, "Nv's Precepts", "Nv's Analects", "Nu Fan Jie Lu", "Internal Training" and so on." Jing Yuanzhi took out a grain of gold and put it on the table and said domineeringly.

When the boss heard the titles of these books and the grain of gold in Jing Yuanzhi's hand, his face burst into laughter. He's a big customer!
"Okay, sir, wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away."

Jing Yuanzhi nodded, and Mo Qi, who had followed him, stood beside her. Hearing the titles of the books she just mentioned, he was a little confused. Why did he buy these books?
Is it setting rules for future partners?
The boss quickly found all the books.

But I only found one copy.

"One book is not enough, take out some more, you will have enough money!"

The boss smiled again and responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

When leaving the shop, Jing Yuanzhi held a large stack of books in his hands.

Even Mo Qi, who was following her, had a stack of books in his hands.

Since you like following her so much, let's help with some work.
