Chai Man'er touched her pink and tender face, took out a small bronze mirror from her arms and took a look at it. She still looked as good as usual, with no change.
This bronze mirror was given to her by Yu Zhen'er. Chai Man'er regarded it as a treasure and hung it on a thread in her arms without feeling uncomfortable at all.
"Your young master is also a scholar, working odd jobs, you can tell!"
Chai Tiannuo snorted, Man'er blinked, carefully put away the bronze mirror, and said with a smile:
"I can't do odd jobs. If people see me like this, they won't want me."
"If it doesn't work out, let's just change some food to feed the animals and walk all the way to the capital. No matter what, we won't starve to death. I have experience in this."
"..."
Looking at Chai Man'er's smiling face, Chai Tiannuo sighed greatly, thinking that you can eat the fermented ingredients, but I really can't.
"Well, actually, it's not impossible to work part-time. The problem is that the time does not allow it. By the time we arrive, 80% of the martial arts school has already started."
Chai Man'er thought the same thing and immediately became weak. What should I do?
The master and the servant were squatting in the corner, worrying. A tutor from the government school came over with two boys. As soon as the gong struck, everyone was immediately attracted to it. Chaitino almost grinned. How could this formation look so similar?
The monkey show is about to begin?
"All scholars, listen, you can write a letter to the family, and the government school will pay for it and ask the postman to send it back for you. This will save you time and money in traveling back and forth."
Oh, this is quite humane. Chaitino rolled his eyes, stood up, came to the teacher, and bowed respectfully:
"I don't know if there is a bus to Beijing for my teaching. I am short of money and really don't have the extra money to go to Beijing to study."
"...Are you kidding me?"
The teacher in the government academy looked at Chai Tiannuo with suspicion. As the saying goes, the poor in culture and the rich in martial arts, martial arts practitioners must have a lot of tonics to replenish their bodies. Generally, there is no shortage of money. Those who can become martial arts scholars must have a lot of money at home. How can this be true?
There will be a shortage of travel expenses.
"I'm so poor!"
Chai Tiannuo pointed at himself and then at Chai Man'er, and said with a wry smile:
"With our figures, do you think we can look like rich masters?"
Although Man'er is pink and tender, her body has been damaged in the past days. To use a phrase, she is skinny and skinny is not too much.
As for the Chai Da scholar, he has a slim figure when dressed in clothes. His steel-like tendons are covered by clothes. Except for his fairer complexion and better clothes, he is almost like a refugee fleeing famine.
The instructor looked back and forth at the master and servant several times, and finally couldn't help but sigh. He had never seen such a poor Wu Xiucai. He was almost ready, okay?
"I do have a job that allows me to travel to Beijing for free, and it also includes food and accommodation, but it's a bit dangerous."
The teacher said hesitantly, Chai Tiannuo and Chai Maner's eyes shone brightly, and they were given free food and accommodation. Is it really such a good thing?
The teacher didn’t show off, he said straightforwardly:
"A wealthy businessman has purchased a lot of goods in our house and will be returning to the capital in the next few days. I'll tell him that you can go to the capital together."
"But if the convoy is attacked, you must help. To put it bluntly, you are the escort of the convoy. Are you willing?"
Chai Tiannuo nodded repeatedly. Now that he has seen bloodshed, he also has a unique skill, and he can be a guard when he is captured. How can he not want such a good thing!
The tutor from the government academy acted very straightforwardly and took the two of them to see the wealthy businessman without saying a word.
The wealthy businessman's surname was Bao Buji. He was from Luoyang, the capital city. He was extremely rich in appearance and was wearing an embroidered satin robe. When Chai Tiannuo saw him, he couldn't help but rub his eyes. If it weren't for the age difference, he almost thought it was this person.
That guy is Wei Zhongxian.
Speaking of which, Mingyang Mansion in Shuliang Province is quite famous in Dahua. Not to mention the famous Mr. Mingyang, its two specialties are enough to amaze the world.
The first is Lihe rice, which has a wonderful fragrance after being cooked. It was once praised by Xu Zi, a farmer, as the best in the world.
Then there is Mingyang embroidery, which is a complex craft that is unparalleled in the world. The dragon robes of successive Dahua emperors were all made with Mingyang embroidery technology.
Bao Buzhi's fleet has more than 50 large vehicles, which are quite impressive at first glance. Most of the vehicles are loaded with Li Hedao. There are two best large vehicles loaded with Mingyang embroidery.
It is worth all the rice.
In addition to Chaitino's master and servant, there were two other Wu scholars in the convoy, but they paid for the ride and acted as uncles.
Unlike Chaitino, who is a half-hearted guard who eats and drinks.
But this treatment is actually better than that of the two talented men.
The two masters and their entourage rode in a large cart, while Chai Tiannuo and Chai Maner were in a separate cart. The extremely precious Mingyang embroidery was in full bloom in the cart.
It was said to be a car, but to be honest, the tightly wrapped Mingyang Embroidery only occupied half of the car, and the remaining area was enough for Chaitino's master and servant to rest.
As soon as everyone arrived, the motorcade began to drive towards the capital.
Compared with when we came to Mingyang Mansion, the journey was much longer, and the motorcade did not stop to rest until the moonlight on the branches, and everyone slept in the car at night.
Covered with a thin quilt, Chaitino tossed and turned for a long time but couldn't fall asleep. The heartless Chai Man'er fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. He slept so hard that he almost kicked Chaitino's nose.
.
Chaitino smiled bitterly. He was used to being alone, but he was really not used to sleeping with others.
Reaching out to cover Chai Man'er with the quilt, Chai Tiannuo lifted a corner of the car curtain and lay half-lying for a long time watching the bright moon before gradually falling asleep.
The night was quiet, and bright spots kept rising next to the stream where we camped, like stars.
There was a faint light in Chai Tiannuo's arms. It was the scroll of the Mirror Flower Realm, flickering for unknown reasons.
The bright stars like stars gradually gathered together, flowing towards Chai Tiannuo like flowing water, and soon flew into the mirror flower world. The night watchman walked back and forth, but could not see anything unusual.
Chaitino looked around and found himself sitting cross-legged on the top of a pale snow mountain. Although it was a quiet night, under the bright moonlight, the sky and the earth were not visible at all.
Gazing attentively, in the distance is a cloud glowing with golden light. Three or two immortals sit on the cloud and talk softly. Silk threads hang down from the fishing rods in their hands, fishing leisurely in the world.
Silk threads of various colors flew rapidly between the sky and the earth, and from time to time someone was violently penetrated and flew into the sky wailing.
The immortals in gorgeous costumes looked at the bloody mortals and laughed loudly. With a little care, each life suddenly turned into many strange creations.
Chaitino was sweating profusely. This scene made people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts.
"How do you feel when you see such a scene?"
A voice suddenly sounded. Chaitino looked around and found no one else, only the lingering sound lingered.
"Wake up quickly, it's almost dawn."
As soon as he finished speaking, the snow-capped mountains suddenly collapsed, and frost enveloped the world.
Chaitino sat up suddenly, gasping for air, covering his heart with his hands, his heart pounding wildly, and his whole chest ached with pain.
