Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 20 Buying a quota
As soon as shopkeeper Zhang saw the man, he narrowed his eyes and greeted with a smile: "How are you, Boss Jin."

His eyes glanced at the two little boys beside him, "Are these two children from Boss Jin's family?"

"Yes, shopkeeper Zhang also brought someone here. I wonder whose child it is?"

These two children looked to be about the same age as Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, and they looked pretty. He had never seen these two children before, and he didn't know whose family they belonged to.

"Hey... they are the nieces and nephews from my master's hometown. They don't want to go to Beijing to play. They just happened to have a big event to test their spiritual roots. I will take them to see my master right now."

Although everyone knows what's going on, we can't be too blatant, right? Superficial work still needs to be done.

"Oh...it turns out he is a relative of Mr. Zhang, so I won't delay shopkeeper Zhang's work. Please come." Boss Jin immediately turned aside and made a gesture of please.

Shopkeeper Zhang led the two of them into the second courtyard, which was their master's courtyard.

It's almost time to go to test the spiritual roots. Mr. Zhang is waiting in the living room for the children at home who are going to test the spiritual roots.

When he saw shopkeeper Zhang coming with two children he had never seen before, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

The people below are quite efficient in their work.

He pretended to be confused and looked at Shopkeeper Zhang, waiting for his explanation.

"Master, these two are the nieces and nephews from my hometown. For this spiritual root test, I have to ask the master to help introduce them."

Shopkeeper Zhang finished speaking respectfully, and then winked at Han Xin.

Han Xin immediately took out the stack of banknotes and handed them to shopkeeper Zhang.

The actions of the two of them were so obvious that Mr. Zhang retracted his gaze from the banknote and nodded with satisfaction.

"Shopkeeper Zhang is an old man of my Zhang family. It's just a small favor. Don't worry, I'll let your nieces and nephews go with me for testing later." He looked at Han Xin and Shi Yan with a smile and said.

These two little guys are quite exquisite. I wonder if they are related to each other?
The two of them thanked him.

"I've already seen it. Shopkeeper Zhang will take them to the courtyard and wait there. They can leave for the Prime Minister's Mansion in a moment."

"Yes, sir."

Shopkeeper Zhang sent the two of them out of the living room and asked them to wait for him in the courtyard while he returned to the living room.

"Master, look at it, this is two thousand taels of silver notes."

Master Zhang did not take it immediately, but glanced at the other party. Shopkeeper Zhang instantly understood what he meant, checked the authenticity of the banknotes in his hand one by one, and then counted the number.

After confirming that it was correct, he handed it to Master Zhang again with a smile, "It's two thousand taels, that's right."

Master Zhang slowly took the banknote and placed it on the table in front of him, then took out a fifty-tael banknote from his sleeve pocket and gave it to him.

"You did a good job today, and this is your reward."

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded and took the bank note, "This is what a slave should do."

As soon as shopkeeper Zhang entered the courtyard, he briefly explained a few words to Shi Yan and left the Zhang Mansion with a smile.

When the two young men from the Jin family saw shopkeeper Zhang leaving, they looked at each other and then came to Shi Yan and the other two.

"Hello, my name is Jin Zhan."

"My name is Jin Jue."

"Can you tell us your names?"

Seeing that the two of them asked questions carefully and did not see any other small thoughts in their eyes, Shi Yan was also happy to interact with them.

"My name is Shi Yan and her name is Han Xin."

The two brothers looked surprised when they heard their names.

"Isn't your surname Zhang?" Shi Yan raised his eyebrows and asked with squinted eyes, "Why do we have the surname Zhang?"

Boss Jin, who was listening to their chat, already knew the general situation from a few simple conversations, but he was in the same situation, so he didn't reveal anything.

"Didn't Shopkeeper Zhang just say that you are nephews and nieces from Master Zhang's hometown? Isn't your surname Zhang?" Jin Zhan, who was impatient, asked immediately.

"We are indeed Mr. Zhang's nephews and nieces, but our parents and Mr. Zhang are cousins, so they have different surnames." Han Xin explained with a smile.

This kind of lie that does not need to be verified comes as soon as Han Xin opens her mouth.

"It turned out to be a show of love? I'll just tell you." Jin Zhan suddenly realized.

Shi Yan and Han Xin frowned at the same time. Why did Jin Zhan's words sound weird?

"Whether we are my own family or cousins, we are all relatives. Are you two brothers also related to Mr. Zhang's family? Then why is your surname Jin?"

The corners of Han Xin's lips curled up. She would ask the same question.

Jin Zhan Jin Jue:...

"Yes...yes."

"We are also showing off."

They are not related to Mr. Zhang. Before going out, their aunt at home warned them not to tell anyone anything that had nothing to do with Mr. Zhang's family.

"puff……"

Han Xin couldn't help laughing.

Although Shi Yan didn't laugh, he was holding back his laughter.

Boss Jin on the side was stunned to death by his two children.

He was rich and famous all his life, but today he was ruined by two unfilial sons.

Jin Zhan and Jin Jue didn't understand why Han Xin was smiling. When they saw her beautiful smile, they also started to giggle.

Jin Zhan is a straight person and usually doesn't hold back what he has to say, so he said seriously: "Han... what's cold?"

Jin Zhan suddenly became anxious. He clearly heard the other party's name just now, why did he suddenly forget it?
Han Xin was stunned, this little kid actually forgot her name.

"Fifth brother, her name is Han Xin."

Jin Zhan scratched his head and said apologetically: "Oh... Han Xin, I'm sorry, I didn't forget your name on purpose."

"It doesn't matter." Children are forgetful. She, a person who has lived two lives, does not care about a child.

After being forgiven, Jin Zhan immediately laughed, "Um...I just wanted to say that you look so beautiful when you smile."

Han Xin was stunned by these words again. She didn't know whether to say that Jin Zhan has a stupid personality, or that he has a romantic nature at a young age.

Shi Yan should have been angry, but when he saw the naive look on Jin Zhan's face, he immediately lost his temper. He was just a teenager now, so why bother with him?
Boss Jin could no longer complain about his son. He was just stupid, but he still said such misleading words. Fortunately, they were still children.

It seems that the two children didn't take what their son said to heart. They probably didn't understand it, so he stopped participating in their small circle to avoid making things more chaotic.

At this moment, there were a few footsteps coming from the second entrance, and several people immediately turned around and looked over.

It turned out that Mr. Zhang came out with three children.

The three children, one boy and two girls, looked to be eleven or twelve years old. They looked at the four Han Xins with arrogance and disgust.

Han Xin and Shi Yan, who had lived an extra life, did not pay attention to the looks and looks of those three people, because in their hearts, they already regarded those three people as clowns.

I still don’t know if I have spiritual roots, so what’s there to be arrogant about?
