The carriage slowly stopped at the door of the brightly lit inn. The waitresses standing in front of the door and by the fence on the second floor were even more enthusiastic, smiling and waving.
Bai Yu casually grabbed a few gold ingots from the box and stuffed them into his sleeve pocket, coughing twice.
Chang Jiuyan understood this and jumped out of the carriage first, raising his hand to lift the curtain.
Bai Yu bent over and walked out slowly with an indifferent expression, stepped out of the carriage, raised his hands and straightened his collar slowly.
The waitresses standing in front of the door and by the fence on the second floor suddenly became quiet, stopped smiling and waving, and looked at him with a little surprise, maybe they were guessing about the background of this extraordinary young man.
Bai Yu said, "Just look at the carriage. If you are bored, you can ask someone to accompany you in the carriage."
"Need not."
Chang Jiuyan put his hand into his pants, took out a betel nut and chewed it.
The waitresses were stunned for a moment, and then all looked at them strangely. Bai Yu's face froze, "Brother, don't take out betel nuts in front of so many people. My image of a distinguished gentleman suddenly collapsed."
Bai Yu quickly entered the inn in three steps and two steps at a time.
"Hey, the young master is here."
"Yo......"
At the same time, four half-year-old women with heavy makeup came over to greet him with smiles on their faces.
What's going on, there are so many "treasures", are they competing? Bai Yu looked around and found that there is a universe here, and there are four courtyards of "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum".
One of the half-aged "Bao" grabbed Bai Yu tightly, full of surprises, "Master, do you still recognize me?"
Who are you? Are you familiar? Bai Yu looked at her expressionlessly, "I don't know you."
The old woman waved a silk handkerchief with a resentful look in her eyes, "Young Master is so heartless, it's me, Linfu County Huafang."
Bai Yu reacted and was a little surprised, "Why did you come to the Imperial City?"
Seeing that he still remembered, the old woman smiled happily again, "Thanks to the young master, our Lan Shuang has also achieved success and became famous in the local area. The headquarters thought that he had the potential to become the oiran of the imperial city, so he transferred us together.
"
It turned out that he was "promoted"... Bai Yu wanted to say "congratulations" but felt that this was not the right place to say it.
Seeing that Bai Yu had an acquaintance, the other three old men left angrily.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Lan Shuang misses you very much."
The former Huafang Laobao couldn't help but pull Bai Yu towards Lanyuan, "Lan Shuang has just arrived in the imperial city, and there is no one she knows well. Master, please accompany her."
If it's not enough to be taken advantage of once, he must be taken advantage of a second time... Bai Yu quickly said, "No, no, no, I won't bother Lan Shuang."
As if he understood what he was thinking, Lao Bao whispered in his ear, "Although Lan Shuang is a pure herdsman, she will become a red herdsman sooner or later. If the young master can win her favor, there may be no need to bid. The prince will be chosen by default."
For the guests of Shu Ling."
It's nice to comb it up... Bai Yu's heart felt hot, "Actually, I miss her too."
Entering the Orchid Courtyard, I saw Lan Shuang.
"Son."
Lan Shuang was a little surprised. She moved lightly on her lotus steps to greet him and said the Wanfu Salute. Her voice was soft, gentle, and natural without being artificial.
She is still the same as before, with a small oval face of seventeen or eighteen years old, delicate facial features and skin as white as snow, holding a small light fan, wearing an emerald green smoked gauze skirt, and a slender jade belt. This delicate and soft appearance is pitiful.
The two maids were also happy to see Bai Yu, as if meeting old friends in a foreign country.
Just like last time in Linfu County, we just drank tea and chatted.
Bai Yu couldn't help but ask her when she was going to finish her hair. He always felt uncomfortable asking her, but since he had a lot of money, he wasn't afraid of bidding.
Lan Shuang, who was still smiling sweetly, had tears in her eyes. Did the young master really want her to comb her hair down so much?
Bai Yu said affectionately that he just felt sorry for her.
Lan Shuang burst into tears and laughed, saying that she didn't necessarily have to comb her hair, she just wanted to see if she could become an oiran in the dynasty. If she did, she might be able to attract the attention of high-ranking officials and they might take her as a concubine.
Bai Yu understood that this was Schrödinger's comb.
After drinking tea and chatting until midnight, he took a rest next door, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep. It was strange that he could fall asleep.
The next day.
Bai Yu took out a few ingots of gold from his sleeve pocket and put them on the table. He left listlessly and left the imperial city in a carriage.
When he got home and took a look at Tao Yulian, Bai Yu felt that Yulian was better. He could have it anytime he wanted, since it was already in the bowl and he wasn't in a hurry.
I went to the workshop from home and started brewing the medicine according to yesterday's recipe. The recipe has not changed, but the medicinal materials have become older and should be effective.
After a few hours, the medicine was ready, I switched to the Minions character card, and drank bowl after bowl.
[Character Card 1 is advancing: 1%, 2%, 3%...]
The experience bar stopped moving when it reached 54%, and Bai Yu stopped taking drugs.
Take out the "Qingguang" meat rack and grill it on the charcoal fire, brush it with a layer of oil and salt.
The outer layer is golden and crispy.
It smells very good... Bai Yu enjoys it. Eating meat is more comfortable than taking drugs.
[Character Card 1 is advancing: 55%, 56%, 57%...]
The experience bar continues to rise.
When it reaches 98%, the experience bar stops moving again.
It's not that "green light" meat has no effect, but that the meat has been eaten...
Test! Bai Yu smashed the bones into the fire, just a little bit.
It's not that he was stingy and didn't buy more yesterday, but this is the only piece of meat on the black market that reaches "green light" quality, and the other meats are inferior.
"It's hard to get older medicinal materials, and it's also hard to get high-quality demon meat. When will the Minions character card be completed?"
"The same goes for He Zhiyu's character card. It's difficult for him to be promoted to the ninth grade, the Secretary of the Criminal Department, or the male from Qifeng County. What should we do?"
Bai Yu felt like his head was big.
His dream of "Emperor Character Card" and "Beast Emperor Character Card"!
"If you have nothing to do, go and see that guy Lin Ping'an."
Bai Yu switched character cards and walked into the yard.
After riding the horse, we left the workshop.
I bought a piece of soap locust on the street, a dozen pancakes, a few bottles of medicinal wine and two pairs of cotton clothes.
After leaving Qifeng County and reaching a deserted place, he switched to the Minion character card, which is his original handsome appearance.
"There is only one imperial mausoleum under construction, which is the mausoleum of the current old emperor. It is easy to find."
Bai Yu galloped on his horse.
After running for dozens of miles, I arrived at an area with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and saw many people working in the cold wind.
"What do you do?"
As expected, Bai Yu was stopped by the guards.
Fortunately, Bai Yu was prepared and put some gold leaves in his sleeve pocket when he went out.
He smiled and took out a few gold leaves and gave them to the guard, "I have a fellow villager named Lin Ping'an who is working inside. Please call me out. I would like to invite some of you to tea for this little thought."
When they saw the golden leaf, the eyes of several guards gleamed and they quickly separated to prevent other guards from seeing it.
"Wait here for a moment."
The guard said something and left to help him find it.
After a long time, the guard came out, panting, "There is no one named Lin Pingan. Did you get the name wrong?"
No? Bai Yu explained, "I got the name right. A group of exiles were escorted here a while ago. They were among them."
The guard was puzzled, "These are all civilians recruited from all over the country, where are the exiles coming from?"
There were no exiles? Bai Yu frowned for a moment and had to leave first.
When he returned to Jingzhao Mansion from Jinhe County, he specifically asked Zheng Yan'er about the situation of the exiled prisoners in Linfu County Prison. Zheng Yan'er said that they had been sent to build the imperial mausoleum, but there was not a single exiled prisoner here.
