Chapter 204 Household Registration

 As in previous years, Daming Palace also prepared a dinner for this year’s new students.

Emperor Yu and the court ministers cordially received the new students in the academy and delivered a speech of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. The freshmen were all excited and swept away the psychological shadow left by the final exam. They wished they could recite a song on the spot, "Support the Jade Dragon and die for the emperor."

”.

By the time Li Leling's carriage brought the firewood back, it was already late at night...Li Leling, who rarely stayed up late, was sleepy and tired, so she said hello and returned to Daming Palace.

Chai Chai, on the other hand, was full, sleepy and tired - she finally attended a palace dinner, and out of the dignity of a foodie, she had to taste every dish at the state banquet.

The result was that I was a little stuffed and hiccupped constantly.

"Who among us is taking care of whom?"

Li Ang helped Chai Chai, who was hiccupping intermittently, to sit down and rubbed her belly. He shook his head helplessly and said: "The pharmacies are closed. I will wait until tomorrow to buy some medicinal materials such as Radix Pseudostellariae, dried tangerine peel, yam, and hawthorn."

Out of a girl's reserve, Chai Chai covered her mouth with her palms to stop the hiccups, but the hiccups still came from her stomach.

She blushed, quickly changed the subject, and asked in a low voice: "Huh? What are you buying these medicinal materials for?"

"Make Jianweixiaoshi tablets."

Li Ang rolled his eyes and said: "It is mainly used to treat food accumulation caused by weak spleen and stomach, not wanting to eat, rotten and sour odor, and abdominal distension."

"It smells rancid?"

Chai Chai thought Li Ang said she had breath, so she quickly breathed into her palm, but she only smelled the smell of grape juice in her mouth, "It doesn't smell."

"If I eat so much, I'll get gastrointestinal problems. See if I have any."

Li Ang stood behind Chai Chai, gently pressed her ears and nose with four fingers, then poured a glass of warm water with his mind, brought it to her, "Here, drink in seven small sips, don't breathe while drinking.

."

"Oh."

Chai Chai followed the instructions faithfully. After drinking a glass of water, his hiccups immediately eased a lot. He was surprised and said: "Huh? I really don't need to hiccup. What's going on?"

Li Ang released his palm and said casually: "The essence of hiccups is the spasm and contraction of the diaphragm, which causes air to be quickly sucked into the lungs, narrowing the cracks in the two vocal cords, and making a hiccup sound.

Diaphragm spasm can be relieved by taking several deep breaths, drinking warm water, and breathing into a paper bag to repeatedly absorb carbon dioxide."

"Oh."

Chai Chai nodded as if he understood something, and as before, he automatically ignored strange terms such as carbon dioxide - once he started asking, he would fall into endless questions of one thing, two things, and two things, three things.

"By the way, where are the household registration documents at home?"

Li Ang locked the courtyard door and asked casually: "I want to use it tomorrow."

"The bottom layer of the bedside table in the bedroom."

Chai Chai held the celadon water cup and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Do you want to change your household registration?"

"Well, if you are admitted to the Academy, you can no longer be a servant in your household registration. You have to go to Chang'an County to change your household registration."

As soon as Li Ang finished locking the courtyard door, he heard a clang. When he turned around, he saw that it was Chai Chai who was so surprised that he failed to hold the teacup in his hand, causing it to fall to the ground and break into several pieces.

"Why were you so careless? No scratches."

Li Ang used his mind power to sweep away the fragments of the teacup on the ground, then took a broom and swept away the tiny debris.

"No..."

Chai Chai held the edge of the chair with both hands, looked down at the toes of his shoes, and asked softly: "Master, why do you want to change your household registration?"

"After all, we have to take into account the face of the academy."

Li Ang put away the broken pieces of the teacup, spread his hands and said: "School disciples can be officials, businessmen, craftsmen, and even farmers, but they cannot be servants.

Even the seniors from the academy who worked for dignitaries or wealthy families in the past were still known as ‘guest ministers’.”

He paused, scratched his head and said: "This can be regarded as a hidden rule. Although there is no explicit rule, if the household registration is not changed, there will always be people gossiping."

"Oh..."

Chai Chai nodded slowly and sat on the chair without saying a word.

Li Ang asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Chai Chai raised his head, his sparkling eyes reflecting Li Ang's face, "Master, after changing my household registration, can I still live here?"

"Are you kidding? This is your home. Where are you moving to?"

Li Ang smiled and stretched out his finger, flicking Chai Chai's forehead lightly, "It's just a change of household registration information, nothing has changed, it's still the same as before."

After saying that, he paused for a moment.

Household registration management in the State of Yu is relatively strict, and ordinary people may not change their household registration throughout their lives. Once a servant who has signed a long-term contract becomes a free person, it means that he will no longer have any legal connection with the original owner.

If the household registration is changed and he and Chai Chai are no longer master and servant, what will be the relationship?

Childhood sweethearts? Half-brothers and sisters?

Or...

Li Ang's palm was hovering in mid-air, whether he was holding it or not. In the end, he messed up Chai Chai's bangs as before, and said with a smile amidst Chai Chai's protest: "Okay, don't think about that.

It’s too much. Take a shower and go to sleep.”

Maybe it’s because we’ve been together for too long and are too familiar.

Li Ang instinctively didn't want to think about the future with Chai Chai.

What's more...

You must first have power before you are qualified to change the future.

Jun Qianzi, Zhao Ming, Mo Si, Sword Immortal Tomb, Jing Nian Sect...

There are too many things to deal with,

After Li Ang washed up, he lay on the bed in the bedroom, looking at Chai Chai on the other side of the room who was huddled in the bed with only his face exposed. He smiled and used his telekinesis to extinguish the candle on the table.

Focus your consciousness on Mo Si's clone.

In the caves in the mountains to the east of Chang'an City, the clones of Mo Si who were lying flat on the ground gathered into human form again, walked to the corner of the cave, and opened the box placed there.

Neatly stacked in the box were the five hundred taels of fine gold reward given by the Wang family of Taiyuan, which he had asked Mo Si's clone to get some time ago.

Li Ang's own cultivation progress has reached the intermediate level of the Body Hiding Realm. It's almost time to let Mo Si absorb some precious metals.

Along with Li Ang's thoughts,

Mo Si's clone stretched out her palm and slowly took out a stack of fine gold ingots from the box. The silk threads spreading from her palm quietly cut the fine gold ingots into countless pieces and absorbed them.

A slight cutting sound echoed in the cave. When the pile of fine gold ingots completely disappeared, the surface of the palm of the Mo Si clone had completely transformed into dark gold.

"Part of the ink changed color..."

Li Ang concentrated his consciousness and carefully felt the changes in the ink silk. "The sensitivity, toughness, and strength of this part of the ink silk have all improved a lot compared to before, as if they have evolved.

And the density is much higher than before, so more ink can be compressed into a smaller volume."

He observed the dark golden area on the back of Mo Si's hand, and felt a sense of déjà vu - if all the Mo Si turned into dark gold, maybe it would become another existence...
