Chapter 251 Decided to follow and see

While the Huo family was desperately trying to sell off their property, little Tangbao was enthusiastically earning money at the Junior College.

The little girl never imagined that each talisman she drew could be worth five hundred taels of silver! ?

If only she had met Brother Jinchuan earlier!

In the afternoon class, the doctor was talking in the front until he was dry-mouthed, but little Tangbao was standing next to his seat, concentrating on drawing talismans.

Every time she finished drawing a picture, Xiao Qingye would clumsily help her fold it up carefully.

The Ouyang Pavilion Master, who was patrolling around, shook his head as he watched from the door - the little princess had done so much homework, why was her pen-holding posture still not standard?

Just as he was about to push the door open, the doctor on the podium rushed out...

He had already moved Princess Zhaoning and Xiao Qingye to the last row of the classroom. She could draw talismans quietly without disturbing others, so he let her do it!

It's better than everyone having to worry about their lives and search for her everywhere, right?

Xiao Qingye's speed in folding paper could not keep up with Tang Bao's pace in drawing talismans.

After class, Zhilan and Zhimei hurried over to help.

Some children who couldn't wait for school to end also swarmed towards Tang Bao...

Zhimei immediately transformed herself into a shopkeeper, collecting bills and distributing talismans, asking everyone to be quiet and not let the doctor invite her master to the owner's study.

Seeing her master so tired that beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, Zhilan tugged at Xiao Tangbao's sleeve distressedly: "Princess, please take a rest. We don't owe any money now..."

Little Tang Bao chuckled, his hands not wanting to be idle at all. "My second cousin is the Minister of Works and the Prince of Ningguo Mansion, but his annual salary is only a little over a hundred taels of silver! Even if you add in the subsidies like Bing Jing and Tan Jing, at most, his annual income is only a little over three hundred taels of silver!"

Little Tangbao is no longer like he used to be. He would count on his fingers and get confused after counting past twenty...

She would check her Qiankun bag from time to time, and now she knew exactly how much "one hundred" was!

Great!

She pouted, her expression somewhat pitiful. "We don't owe any money now, but we don't have any money either!"

Her Qiankun bag is now empty. Apart from food, clothes and daily necessities, there is not even a copper coin left!

"They're high-ranking officials, working diligently for a year, yet they still earn less than your master drawing a talisman... Why don't you draw one?"

Zhilan stopped folding the talisman paper and looked at Xiao Tangbao with curiosity: "How does the princess know so much?"

"I specifically inquired about it," Tang Bao wrote, "I was worried that Aunt Yuan Shuang would have a hard life if she married my second cousin... Then Eunuch Pei An told me that an average family of five could live well with a dozen taels of silver a year... I felt a little relieved."

Pei An was frightened by Xiao Tangbao's donation of silver, and he had been teaching her a lesson on money matters whenever he could during this period!

Moreover, at noon, Lu Jinchuan saw that she was still mumbling and didn't understand, so he specifically told her that five hundred taels is five hundred taels. Tang Bao donated five hundred thousand taels of silver, and if he wanted to sell a thousand talismans, a thousand would be ten hundred...

Hearing this, Xiao Tangbao became even more determined to set up a stall.

The doctor at the door grimaced when he heard this, touched his purse miserably, and hurried out to find the secret guard responsible for protecting Xiao Tangbao.

Princess Zhaoning’s birthday is on the seventh day of the first lunar month. She hasn’t even turned four yet, and yet she carries so many banknotes on her at such a young age... We have to ask them to send more people to protect the princess!

Seeing that it was almost time for class, Tang Bao hurriedly urged the two little girls beside him to go back and study hard.

Although the companions don't have to hand in homework, she wants Zhilan and Zhimei to study hard. Even if they don't want to take the exam to become female officials in the future... the more they learn, the less she will have to worry about!

Not only Zhilan and Zhimei, but also Brother Da Niu, Brother Er Niu, Brother Qingye and Brother Jinchuan... They all said that they would protect Tangbao for life, so they have to work hard!

In this way, when they grow up, they can become high-ranking officials, and then they can support Tang Bao and make things convenient for him, so that Tang Bao can always be so powerful in Daliang!

…

The school at Zhi Academy ends half an hour earlier than at Jinxuezhai. Lu Jinchuan, who is always well-mannered and studious, skipped class for the first time.

He waited at the back door of Hongwenguan early and helped Xiao Tangbao set up the tables, chairs and benches.

As soon as the little fellow called out "Brother Jinchuan" in a crisp voice, he was surrounded by classmates from several classes of Zhi Academy.

Lu Jinchuan and Xiao Qingye hurried to maintain order, Zhilan and Zhimei were responsible for selling talismans and collecting money, while Xiao Tangbao buried his head, seizing every opportunity to continue drawing talismans.

It was not until she suddenly started to bleed from the nose that Xiao Qingye hugged her forcefully and told her not to continue painting no matter what.

???

Lu Jinchuan's brows furrowed as he watched. With a stern face, he comforted the young men and women who hadn't bought the talismans, and quickly pulled Xiao Qingye aside: "Men and women shouldn't touch each other... Since you're Tang Bao's friend, for her reputation, you should always be careful and modest!"

"..." Xiao Qingye couldn't help but curl his lips. He glared at Lu Jinchuan with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Tsk, isn’t she just one year older than him?

Who picked up sister Tangbao in public during the day?

Instead, you taught him a lesson? !

No one expected that Tang Bao's nearly one hundred talismans would be sold out so quickly...

Lu Jinchuan suggested that they quickly close the stall before Jinxuezhai and Qunqingge start school, and continue selling tomorrow.

Xiao Tangbao nodded in agreement and took out half of the silver to give to Chuntai to help the people.

Just when Lu Jinchuan and the servant were busy helping Tang Bao clean up the tables and chairs, Xiao Qingye grabbed Tang Bao's hand and suddenly ran away.

The two children ran away in a flash, leaving the other children stunned, but fortunately they were still within the sight of the secret guards.

In a secluded alley, confused little Tang Bao frowned and shook off Xiao Qingye's hand. "What are you doing? Tang Bao hasn't said goodbye to Brother Jin Chuan yet! Zhi Lan and Zhi Mei will be worried!"

Xiao Qingye panted and gestured for her to look outside the corner. "Didn't you notice that An Xueting has been following you? Wherever you go, she follows you and cries... It's so unlucky!"

"???" Little Tangbao leaned against the wall and quietly poked her head out to look outside. Sure enough, she saw An Xueting looking around for someone! The maid beside her even told her that she hadn't seen where Princess Zhaoning had gone...

No, she is sick?!

Just as the little guy was about to retract his head, he suddenly saw a familiar figure...

She hurriedly pulled Xiao Qingye beside her and said, "Look over there, that sneaky man, is he the steward of the Huo Mansion whom we met on the mountain?"

Xiao Qingye squinted his eyes and took a look, "It really is him!"

Looking at the sky which was gradually getting darker, the two little guys looked at each other and decided to follow and see.
