Chapter 202: Earn some money first

Xiaojiu covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from screaming out.

Eavesdropping is shameful in the first place, but he still pestered Sui Mo to bring her here secretly.

Besides, Sixth Sister was cheating people in front, and it would be too embarrassing to be exposed at this time. The little girl also has to save face.

He glared fiercely at the bear-like man in front of him.

Xiaojiu also recognized this man. They had met twice. He was the bodyguard recruited by Sixth Sister.

How come such a big person walks without making any sound?

A verbal deal has been reached.

If I can get in touch with the Pei Mansion, let alone 20,000 taels, even 100,000 taels would be worth it!

Besides, the money is not wasted. With the examination questions from Pei Mansion, Wan'er can be sent to the provincial examination smoothly.

If there is one, there will be two. Since there can be a preliminary examination, what about the real provincial examination?

In the provincial examination where princesses from the enemy country also participated, he had both face and substance, and he might even be able to go down in history.

The Wen family is about to prosper!

With his heart trembling with excitement, Wen Mingke readily agreed to the request to keep it secret.

Are you kidding? How can such a thing be publicized?

He didn't have that much silver on him, so he promised to deliver it later and left in a hurry with his two children.

Sui Mo walked into the hall with a strange look in his eyes.

In the past, His Highness was lazy and greedy for enjoyment, but he became different after returning to Fengjing. It seemed that he was only thinking about making money.

Could it be that the pressure is too great after taking over the Mo Group?

"Your Highness, this is not a good thing, right?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"The imperial examination is a serious matter, and you are suspected of cheating."

Qin Zhaoyue rolled her eyes. "Is it cheating to give me a few policy essay questions? Stop it.

Who doesn’t read a few annotations of policy papers from previous years before taking the test?

What teacher doesn't guess a few policy questions before taking an exam? "

Predicting the test questions is a common practice in both past and present lives, so how can it be called cheating?

Sui Mo thought to himself, what are you trying to do here? Who doesn't know who?

You said that you wanted Prime Minister Pei to ask a few questions, but is that what you actually meant?

With the name of Prime Minister Pei, people thought that spending 20,000 yuan would guarantee admission to the preliminary examination.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Pei is really capable of giving people policy questions just for money."

Qin Zhaoyue nodded. From the first contact, it seemed that the old man was not a pedantic person.

"Who said that Prime Minister Pei was asked to set the questions? I'm talking about the Pei Mansion, okay? Pei Xueqiao isn't from the Pei Mansion?"

Broken Ink: ...

"If you offer him a hundred or eighty taels, how many questions would he be willing to ask?"

Broken Ink: ...

Silently give a thumbs up.

"Your Highness, this is a one-time deal."

"Otherwise, would you really steal the exam questions for a relative you don't know well?

I'll make a little money, and then it all depends on the girl's luck."

If you can't pass the initial test, I guess both sides will fall out, which will save you from getting involved later.

If you are lucky enough to win, the next time you win will not be just 20,000 taels.

It’s not a loss at all, bashi.

In the corridor behind the main hall, Ping'an touched the back of his head, not knowing what to do.

He seemed to scare the tiny girl in front of him.

After thinking for a while, he took out the oil-paper bag from his arms, opened it, and found more than a dozen sesame cakes inside.

This is the snack his aunt baked for him yesterday. It is the size of a palm and has both salty and sweet flavors.

It is baked crispy and decorated with sesame seeds and is very fragrant.

There were about a hundred of them, and these are the only ones left after I finished eating them. The main reason was that I couldn’t bear to finish them all at once.

"Eat, it smells good."

Xiaojiu looked at the hemp cake, which was broken into pieces and had a lot of crumbs. It didn't look very good.

She shook her head, not wanting to touch it at all.

"Eat it, it's delicious."

I don’t know what this big fool was thinking. He kept bringing the oil-paper bag in front of himself.

What kind of thing does she, a princess, have to be forced to eat?

"I don't want to eat it!" He raised his hand and pushed it hard.

Xiaojiu naturally failed to shake the tall and majestic Ping An at all, but he did manage to hit the oil paper bag, and the sesame cakes and crumbs fell to the ground.

Ping'an was so distressed that he quickly squatted down to pick it up.

This was the scene Qin Zhaoyue saw when he walked into the corridor. Ping An picked up the sesame bun Kuku on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.

Probably because the action was too bold, Xiaojiu was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly and stood against the corner of the wall.

Qin Zhaoyue walked closer and patted Ping'an's broad shoulders. "Is it delicious?"

Ping An nodded repeatedly, "It smells good and tastes good."

As he spoke, he carefully brought the oil paper package over. There were still three relatively intact pieces left inside.

Qin Zhaoyue reached out and picked up a piece, tasted it and found the fragrance lingering in his mouth.

She doesn't like sweet things and feels that sesame cake is a bit mushy.

She had sharp eyes and noticed some green inside the piece. Sure enough, she tasted like onions when she took a bite.

She quickly made a piece and refused Ping'an's attempt to let her continue eating.

“If it falls on the ground and is not dirty, you can eat it, but if it falls on the muddy ground, don’t eat it.

If you eat large pieces, the crumbs will be covered with dust and may make you sick if you eat them.

If you are sick, you need to spend money to see a doctor and take medicine, which is much more expensive than these few pancakes."

Ping An hadn't really listened at first, but when he was told that he had to spend money on medicine, he immediately stopped.

Patting his shoulder again, Qin Zhaoyue walked away.

Given the conditions in the princess's mansion, even if they were guards, why would they pick up food that fell on the ground and eat it?

But think about Ping An's growing environment. He has rarely had a full meal since he was a child.

It just fell on the ground, and it was in the corridor behind the main hall. It looked very clean. Should I persuade him not to pick it up?

Xiaojiu saw her sixth sister passing by without even looking at her, and her heart suddenly tightened.

He quickly went around Ping An and chased after her, grabbing the corner of her clothes.

"Sixth sister, you are so mean! You are trying to cheat me out of my money!"

She heard it clearly in the back hall just now and knew that twenty thousand taels were defrauded in a short time.

More than ten thousand yesterday, twenty thousand today, this scammer... makes money at such a fast speed, Xiao Jiu is envious.

She had not yet established her own government, and she did not have any property. She relied on the rewards from her mother, the empress, and the subsidies from her father's family.

Although I'm not short of money, but seeing how fast Sixth Sister is making money...

Xiaojiu said she wanted to make progress.

Qin Zhaoyue stopped, touched her small hand, and gently broke free.

"You should learn something, please. Learn more from your third and fourth sisters."

Xiaojiu looked up at her face. There was a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, which was a rare gentleness when she was facing him, but he always felt that the smile did not reach her eyes.

My heart seemed to be tightened, and a slight sourness came over me.

Children are the most sensitive and blurted out, "Is Sixth Sister angry?"

The arc of Qin Zhaoyue's mouth widened another three points.

“Not really, it’s just that the hairpins are too heavy and I feel a little hot wearing this outfit.

I'll go back and change my clothes and remove my makeup. Please sit for a while."

After saying that, he ignored her and strode away.

Xiaojiu was stunned, watching her back getting farther and farther away until she disappeared.

"Your Highness!" The old nanny beside him finally found the person and ran over quickly.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Xiaojiu ignored him and turned to look at the majestic figure in the corridor.

He was still squatting there, having eaten all the large pieces of sesame cake on the ground. He looked at the crumbs on the ground with a look of reluctance on his face.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided not to pick up the crumbs to eat. He carefully put away the two remaining pieces of oil paper and put them in his arms.
