Fish swimming around the world

How embarrassing.

Mr. Jiang, who never carried any money, touched his nose and looked at Gu Beiyan.

"...Um, Yanzi, you are in a high position, so you must be well-paid..."

Gu Beiyan interrupted him crisply: "No."

"No? How come there isn't?"

Gu Beiyan said: "We are dead soldiers, and everything belongs to His Majesty. You can do anything with money. If you need it, you can just go to the inner treasury and withdraw it. Normally, the supply is complete, and no money is needed."

Ah...this does make sense. Jiang Fan looked her up and down: "Well, jewelry and stuff..."

Gu Beiyan disliked asking women for money. "Jewelry is for ordinary people to wear. It is just a drag on the dead."

"That's not the case..."

Mr. Jiang couldn't help but cast his eyes on the sword in her hand again.

Gu Beiyan hid the sword behind his back as if to guard against thieves: "Don't even think about it."

"Hey..." Mr. Jiang salivated: "Can you borrow some from an acquaintance? You see, after all, you will also move here in the future."

Gu Beiyan said coldly: "A dead man has no friends."

Damn it! You don't have any friends!

"I want to borrow it from you. You have the richest friend in the world. What do you want from me?"

Well……?

That's right. Mr. Jiang's eyes lit up, "Beautiful! Why didn't I think of that? Let's go, let's go back to Zhengyang Palace!"

The road to borrowing money is not easy.

The empress came back late at night again. Jiang Fan didn't read a book this time, so he quickly went up to pour tea and even peeled off a white rabbit toffee with his own hands.

"Your Majesty, are you tired? Let me give you a pat on the back?"

The empress didn't even raise her eyelids: "If you fart, hurry up."

Jiang Fan......

"Um...I have my eye on a courtyard. It's quite cheap, only five hundred taels."

"You just go and buy it and ask me what I want to do."

Jiang Fan salivated and rubbed his fingers: "Look, this isn't... money is tight..."

The empress glanced at him sideways: "You are very rich. Your subordinates are also very rich."

Jiang Fan's face looked like a bitter gourd: "Water from afar can't quench the thirst of the near. As you know, I don't have the habit of carrying money. I need help from the rivers and lakes."

"Isn't it embarrassing to ask a woman for money?"

"What a shame!" Mr. Jiang said confidently, "In our hometown, women are in charge of money."

The empress said coldly: "This is not your hometown."

Jiang Fan's face suddenly fell: "One day, a hundred days of kindness, please help me. Don't worry, I will return the principal to you with interest in one month."

The empress put down her pen and looked at him: "Okay, I will lend you five hundred taels."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "Can't a thousand taels be enough? Repairing the house, food, clothing, housing and transportation still cost money."

The empress said: "That's your business. If a dignified man can't support himself, just hang yourself on the southeast branch."

Damn it... I should have known I shouldn't have taught you so many words...

"One thousand taels, how about one thousand taels? I borrowed five hundred taels, so I don't miss this..."

"Don't forget it." The empress stood up and left.

"Stop! Stop! Five hundred taels is five hundred taels, take the money!"

Regrettably, women all over the world are like this, and private money is really necessary.

"From now on, you have to live on your own in Yangdu." The empress smiled half-heartedly.

"Tch! This young master is extremely talented, but he still can't support himself? Don't worry, this young master can live a good life without any external help."

"Oh? Well, don't let Linjiang Pavilion, Nangong Family, Gongshujia, and Heifan help you. I want to see if you can live well in Yangdu on your own."

"Sure! Who are you looking down on? I dare to bet you that within a month, I will be full of money."

"Bet? It's interesting, I will bet with you. If it doesn't work..."

"You have the final say!"

"Okay, if that doesn't work, you can just come back and live there, and change your name in the future..." She thought for a while: "What did you say? You're a pretty boy who is just a freeloader."

Angry, this is angry! It was impossible to be a pretty boy, and Mr. Jiang felt extremely insulted.

I borrowed this money and I'm very angry.

If I had known this, I should have saved some of the money given by King Wei at the beginning.

Angrily, he rushed out of Zhengyang Palace with five hundred taels of silver in his arms. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment! Today I am going to buy a house and live separately!

Seeing him running away angrily, the empress curled up her lips and said, "Come here, report his daily actions to me."

The big words were spoken and the house was bought. Mr. Jiang was burdened with debts and looked at the abandoned mansion in front of him with a sad face.

I don’t even have the money to hire someone to clean the yard.

What are you afraid of? Just make enough food and clothing by yourself!

The suffocating Mr. Jiang rolled up his sleeves and decided to do it himself. After just a few attempts, he sighed. I really have no talent for this kind of work. Take a look at Gu Beiyan, who is watching with his sword in his sleeves.

"What are you looking at? As a servant with no eyesight, is it appropriate for you to stand over and supervise the work while my master is exhausted? Come and work!"

Gu Beiyan was also very sad. She has no talent for this job either.

In the end, the two of them just packed up two bedrooms, and Gu Beiyan brought the bedding first.

No matter, let’s stay here for now.

After a busy day, Young Master Jiang didn't feel any sense of accomplishment, especially because his stomach was still growling. Thinking about it, he really should have had a full meal before going out, and he was desperate to save face and suffer the consequences.

Gu Beiyan looked at him coldly: "Master, what are you having for dinner..."

"Eat, just know how to eat. I'm too tired today, so I won't eat. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Hmph..." Gu Beiyan snorted inaudibly.

Feeling the insult, Mr. Jiang was furious: "What's your attitude? What's your look? I can still starve you. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will let you eat all the delicacies in the world!"

"But this slave is also very hungry tonight."

Jiang Fan was speechless. He knew Gu Beiyan's appetite. A meal included four pancakes and two pounds of meat, not counting soup and side dishes. It’s not easy to make a living.

"It's true... At this time of year, it's hard to find even locusts. How about we still have a tooth-sucking festival..."

Gu Beiyan was stunned for a moment: "Locusts? Do you want to eat locusts?"

Jiang Fan was confused: "Don't you want to eat it? That stuff is delicious."

Gu Beiyan seemed to be looking at a madman: "Locusts are sacred creatures, how can they be eaten?"

"What a fart!" Jiang Fan curled his lips: "Let me tell you, that thing is more nutritious than beef and tastes better. It's grilled and fried, and it tastes delicious no matter how you eat it..."

Seeing him smashing his mouth with an endless aftertaste, Gu Beiyan seemed to have seen a ghost.

"Stop talking and go to sleep!"

I didn't even take a shower, so I got into bed and fell asleep with my head covered.

Early the next morning, Mr. Jiang got up and stretched his muscles. It was another day full of energy.

Today, Mr. Jiang decided to go out to find a job.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang simply cleaned up his residence yesterday and went out to look for work all day today."

"Oh? Have you found it?"

"Master Jiang went to the Western Market to work as a helper, but because he was not strong enough and had no regular customers, he couldn't find anything to do for a whole day. At nightfall, he found a job to help people clean up the stalls. They agreed on twelve coins, but the stalls The master was dissatisfied with Mr. Jiang's lack of diligence, so he only gave him ten cents and bought eight cakes on his way back."

"Ten cents..." The corners of the empress' lips raised, she shook her head and continued to review the memorial.
