Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...Jinglan shook her head warily: "I won't tell you what I brought. That's what I prepared for my brother. You can't take it."
"Huh!"
Feeling ashamed when his little trick was exposed, Black Head let out a strange laugh and deliberately increased the pressure on himself.
"Little mouse! I don't even care about what you have. I'm just curious. Just forget it if you don't tell me."
Jinglan muttered quietly, "If you're not curious, why are you asking? And you looked at me like that, I thought you were coming to rob me."
The charcoal-haired guy looked at me with disdain: "I'm not stealing anything. My master has nothing. Why would he need to steal a little golden mouse from you? I said I was just curious. Why can't you be so stupid as to tell the difference between good and bad people? How did you survive until now?"
After being rebuked by him, Jinglan didn't dare to say a word. She scratched the ground with her toes, trying to dig a mouse hole to crawl into.
Milk ball raised his head and looked at her: "You, go back."
Jinglan shook her head: "I'm not going back."
[What do you want to do if you don't go back? You transformed into a beautiful woman, and you thought it was fun to take off your clothes. You are so naive, and you helped others count money after being cheated. How can you survive in the human world? ]
"If you don't go back, then leave with my master." The charcoal-haired man stared at Jinglan dissatisfiedly, "My master is in need of a maid to do odd jobs, so I'll use you."
"Ah? Really?" Jinglan was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling, "I can follow your master? That's great! I finally found someone with the same ideals in the human world."
The milk ball took a look at this simple-minded, silly golden mouse, waved her hand, and put her into the Qiankun bag. He let her stay in it and help her manage that world.
There are many fruit trees, flowers and plants inside that need to be taken care of, so it’s not bad to get some free labor.
When Black Charcoal Head saw Jinglan disappear from the spot, he knew that she must have been taken away by her master.
Well, just take her in. She ran away secretly, and it’s not easy for the Golden Rat Clan to find her back. So just let her be a maid for the master!
Young Master Liu San ran to the front hall and saw Master Liu talking to Chu Zhinan. He went in and bowed politely, then asked, "Dad! I heard that you ate the meat of the old snake spirit? What does it taste like? Is it delicious?"
Speaking of the snake meat soup, Grand Tutor Liu still remembered it vividly and couldn't help but drool.
"Of course it's delicious. The meat soup is so fragrant! This is the first time in my life that your father has eaten such delicious meat soup.
The meat is not only delicious, but also good for your health. Since I ate it, my health has improved a lot. My old ailments such as back pain, leg cramps, etc. have disappeared, and even my blurry vision has improved a lot, and I can see everything clearly.
"It's really so magical." Young Master Liu was full of envy. "It's better to work in the palace. I can eat good food. Dad! I've decided. I want to work in the palace too."
Chu Zhinan looked at the Third Master Liu calmly, feeling that he was speaking in a floating manner. He could go to the palace to work if he wanted to, and Grand Tutor Liu was just a Grand Tutor, not the emperor.
Besides, this man doesn't look like a learned man, let alone a good fighter. He is weak and pale, drained of alcohol and sex. What can he do in the palace?
In order to hide his embarrassment, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea quietly. He really didn't want to listen to the Third Young Master's boastful words.
Grand Tutor Liu also felt that his son was out of tune with the world. He spoke without thinking about the occasion and talking about working for the palace when there were guests present.
That is the palace, not your home. You can't enter just because you want to.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You can't even lift anything with your hands or shoulders. What are you going to do in the palace? To eat?" Imperial Tutor Liu scolded with a sullen face, "The imperial kitchen doesn't need a rice bucket."
"Dad! Look at what you said. I'm certainly not going there to eat, nor am I going to be a glutton. I'm going to the Imperial Garden to plant flowers. That's what I like to do most, Dad! Please help me!"
Young Master Liu San was like a child clamoring for candy. He surrounded his father, scratching his ears and cheeks, and saying nice things in a fawning manner.
In front of Chu Zhinan, Master Liu couldn't say anything, he could only shake his head and sigh, saying "It's a misfortune for our family."
The Liu family was a family of scholars, but they had such a bad son. Instead of studying hard, passing the imperial examination, and becoming the top scholar, he wanted to plant flowers in the palace.
To put it simply, it means being a gardener.
Is that something that people of their family could do? How could he have the nerve to say that? He wasn't afraid of being laughed at.
"Dad! Why is our family so unlucky? I've said since I was a kid that I don't want to study, take the imperial examinations, or even the martial arts exams. I just like to plant flowers, and it was you who stopped me from doing it.
Otherwise, I would have made a name for myself in the Imperial Garden. I just don't understand why you insist on me studying. Wouldn't it be fine if my elder brother and second brother were studying? It wouldn't matter if I were missing."
"You rebellious son, listen to what you are saying. How can you be so rebellious?" Master Liu could no longer bear it and cursed his son. "You can not study, but you must not work as a gardener in the palace. You have no shame, but I, your father, still have some dignity."
Chu Zhinan wanted to persuade them, but he didn't know how to say it. After all, it was Liu Tai's family affair? It would be bad if he said too much, but it was uncomfortable to just stay there. He really didn't want to see them quarreling.
Boring.
If his daughter hadn't come back yet, he would have left long ago.
Young Master Liu was not convinced: "How can you be ashamed that your son is a gardener? Dad! Can you be reasonable? Gardeners also make a living by their skills. It's the same as carpenters, stonemasons, and sculptures. Which official in the Ministry of Works doesn't have a skill?
Why is it not the same for my son? My son doesn't like studying and wants to be a gardener. Dad! Can you please stop meddling in my affairs?
In the past, I was a fool, eating, drinking and having fun everywhere. Today, I have come to my senses. I want to be a gardener and plant flowers for the palace. Why not?
Grand Tutor Liu gnashed his teeth, his face grim: "Why? Why do you say that? You are my Grand Tutor Liu's son, I would rather you be idle and live a mediocre life than to be a gardener and lose face."
Just as Young Master Liu was about to get angry, he heard a sneer from behind: "Pfft! I didn't expect Young Master Liu to be a gardener. This is so unexpected."
Without even looking at him, Naituanzi walked over to Chu Zhinan and climbed onto his knees using his hands and feet.
[Is this guy scared by two women? Actually, it’s not bad to have a hobby. It’s also good to be a gardener in the Imperial Garden. He is very patient with flowers and plants. ]
Since his daughter has said so, Chu Zhinan must make Mr. Liu San’s wish come true.
"Master Liu! Actually, it's good for the Third Young Master to have his own hobbies. It's better than living a life of mediocrity. There's nothing wrong with planting flowers for the Emperor in the Imperial Garden.
There are 360 professions and every profession has its top talents. As long as you work hard, you can make a difference no matter where you are. "
Hearing this, Young Master Liu seemed to have met a soulmate. He immediately turned to look at Chu Zhinan, his eyes lighting up.
