On Chang'an Street, Qianyuan couldn't help but hold up a medicinal herb with a broken leaf. This was a high-quality medicinal herb that he had spent a long time with the drug store owner to get at half the price.
Although the leaves of this herb were damaged due to improper collection, the medicinal properties are not much damaged. The drug store owner also felt that it was not easy to sell, so he planned to sell it at a 20% discount.
People like Qian Yuan have lived by taking advantage of small things since they were young. They used their sharp tongue to persuade the owner of the drug store to get it at half price for an hour.
As Qianyuan walked, he didn't notice that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. An old lady came out of an intersection in front of her. She was dressed in clean and gorgeous clothes. At first glance, she was a rich old lady.
When the old lady met Qianyuan, she suddenly said: "Young man, can you do me a favor?"
When Qianyuan saw that there was no one else around him, he pointed at himself and asked, "Is your mother-in-law calling me?"
The old lady was a little displeased: "You are a descendant, and there is no one else here. Could it be that what I am calling you is a ghost?"
Qianyuan hurriedly laughed: "What's the matter with my mother-in-law asking me to stay here?"
The old lady's face turned bright and she said kindly: "I'm a little tired from walking around in Nancheng, but I live in Xicheng. Please help me call a carriage. I don't have to worry about the fare. I'm here, and I'll be good to you."
Thank you." The old lady said as she took out a dozen golden tickets.
Qianyuan's eyes were stunned on the spot. The stack of gold tickets totaled more than a thousand gold. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said: "My mother-in-law came out alone, didn't she bring a few family members with her?"
The old lady said with a steady expression: "Don't mention those unscrupulous descendants. They only care about my little family wealth every day. It's annoying to see them. Why don't you go call a carriage quickly? Are you also coveting my family wealth?"
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Qian Yuan cautiously and put the golden ticket into his arms.
Qianyuan smiled bitterly: "Mother-in-law is joking. I'll call for a carriage right now. Mother-in-law is waiting for me here. Don't wander around."
Soon Qianyuan called a carriage and thoughtfully sent the old lady to her door.
After the old lady got out of the car, she took out a golden ticket and handed it to Qianyuan and said: "You are a good young man. This is what I use to thank you. Take it."
When Qianyuan saw the gold ticket with a face value of one hundred gold, he felt that his voice suddenly became hoarse, and he felt a little speechless. He struggled for a while and then said: "My mother-in-law gave me a lot. What a young man can do is just a little effort. My mother-in-law just gives me a little."
A few gold is enough, but a hundred gold is too much."
The old lady showed a hint of appreciation, but said with a straight face: "One hundred gold is a lot for you, but look at my house, is it short of this hundred gold?"
Qianyuan's face was firm: "Ten gold is the limit for what Xiaosheng has done. Please take it back, mother-in-law."
The old lady no longer insisted, threw him a piece of gold, and said coldly: "You don't know what is good or bad." After saying that, she went into the house alone.
Qianyuan took it over unceremoniously, thanked him profusely, and left with joy in his heart.
Lin Ze took off his groom's clothes and said to Huang Banban, who was wearing a groom's clothes, "The character is not bad, but he can be used."
Huang Banban was puzzled: "Lin Ze, there are so many children from poor families, why did you fall in love with this Qianyuan who has average talent, ordinary family background and likes to take advantage of others?"
Lin Ze said sternly: "Young Master has no shortage of martial arts geniuses. I, Kong Xuan, Zhang Han, Li Xin, and even the brothers and sisters of the Yu family, who are not all talented? What Young Master is short of are all kinds of talents."
Huang Banban looked strange: "Qianyuan is the talent you think he is?"
"Eunuch Huang carefully looked at his information. He has never suffered any loss since he was a child. Isn't this a talent? This kind of person is most suitable for diplomacy and procurement. And facing an old lady with huge wealth, it is rare to see him.
The fact that he has no evil intentions shows that he has a bottom line and can be used by the young master," Lin Ze explained seriously.
Huang Banban suddenly realized: "Then his determination to only accept ten gold is a rare and valuable quality. He is not greedy for money."
Lin Ze spat: "Bah, that's not true. A person who is greedy for small gains dare not be greedy for big things. He has a limited thinking. I will train him better later."
Huang Banban was stunned. The young master was right when he said that Lin Ze had a dark heart.
Lin Ze asked in turn: "Where did you find the rich old lady? She is quite cooperative, but you are so brave. Before we arrived, if this Qianyuan had malicious intentions, he would attack the old lady.
What to do.”
Now it was Huang Banban's turn to look at Lin Ze disdainfully: "Mother Rong was from the Queen's Palace back then. She served the Queen for more than twenty years. After the Queen passed away, she left the palace in despair and got married.
A sixth-grade official lives an ordinary life. Aunt Rong is a fifth-grade martial artist. If you can touch a hair on her head with all your strength, I think you are powerful."
Lin Ze was indeed shocked, not because he was shocked that the old lady was at the fifth level of martial arts, but because the old lady was actually called Grandma Rong. Lin Ze couldn't help but think of the old lady who liked to stick needles, and a cold air rose behind her back.
Lin Ze was still curious and asked: "How did Eunuch Huang meet Aunt Rong? Can we invite her to come forward?"
Huang Banban sighed: "More than twenty years ago, when I first entered the palace, I was about the same age as you. Thanks to Aunt Rong's care, I survived that difficult time. After that, I stayed close to her until she died.
The palace gradually faded away, and when I heard you talking about finding an old lady, I immediately thought of her."
Lin Ze thought thoughtfully, Huang Banban was also a person with stories: "Then why don't you go in to find her?"
Huang Banban smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Since grandma didn't stop at the door and went directly inside, she probably didn't want to see her old friend and was feeling sad for no reason. There's no need to go in. Let's go find the Qianyuan." After that, he drove off.
The carriage turned around and walked away.
At this time, the side door opened, and a male servant stopped the carriage: "Your Majesty, stay here. My old lady has a letter for you."
Huang Banban immediately stopped the carriage and said happily: "Where is the letter?"
Lin Ze quickly stepped forward to take the letter and gave it to Huang Banban.
Huang Banban opened it and took a look: "The child just now has clear eyes. When he saw the golden ticket, he was greedy but had no evil thoughts. He is worth recruiting. A Jing, you have stepped into the whirlpool of seizing the legitimate son. The future will be dangerous and unpredictable. Aunt Rong.
I can't help you anymore, just take care of yourself."
After Huang Banban read the letter, Lin Ze clearly saw a trace of tears flashing across his face, but he didn't say much.
Huang Banban put the letter into his arms, waved the carriage and drove away.
Not long after, Lin Ze and the others found Qianyuan in a civilian yard in Nancheng and explained their purpose.
Qianyuan thought he had met a liar, but when he saw Lin Ze and remembered that he had beaten a powerful disciple in the Imperial Academy, he began to believe him. When he heard that he had taken refuge under Master Hu Hai and had sufficient training resources, he immediately agreed
Come down.
At this point, Lin Ze recruited the first disciple from a poor family in the Imperial College.
