Chapter 174 Mission Clues
"My elder sister Zhongxiao promised in front of my parents that she would support me in my studies and exams, but a jerk like me would only delay her studies in vain!"
The more Song Tan spoke, the lower his head lowered, feeling extremely ashamed.
After failing the exams many times, he had lost all confidence and even felt that he had accomplished nothing and was just dragging his sister down in vain. He thought it would be better to end it all and become a monk.
Xu Zhao asked bluntly: "Do you really hope that your sister can get married and live a happy and ordinary life?"
"nature!"
Song Tan spoke in a firm tone, and his voice did not allow for any doubt.
"That's strange," Xu Zhao frowned, staring at Song Tan kneeling on the mat in front of him without blinking, a rare solemnity on his face, "Does your family have a rich background? How much do you prepare for your sister's dowry?"
"This..." Song Tan was speechless for a moment.
He studied hard at home since his enlightenment. Although he failed to enter the official career, with the care of his sister, he never suffered or worried about the situation at home.
Not worrying doesn't mean he doesn't know that the family's income depends entirely on his sister's small business.
Song Tan stammered and said with shame, "Our family has no property, and we rely on my sister alone to support us. My parents passed away early, and we have already spent all our savings, and my sister didn't even have any dowry left."
At first, Xu Zhao just wanted to give it a try and persuade Song Tan not to get married, but looking at the current situation, he is actually following the plot.
What surprised Xu Zhao even more was that the NPC who played Song Tan really had a strong sense of professionalism.
I don’t know if the current plot direction was arranged by the director team. At least, the NPC who plays Song Tan is trying very hard to follow the plot.
After hearing this, Xu Zhao immediately put on a look of disappointment, "Your family has no good land and little property, how can your sister get married? You are the only male in the family. If you leave home, who will support your sister in the future!"
"This..." Song Tan was once again speechless after what Xu Zhao said.
He lowered his eyes and reflected on himself. Yes, if my sister did get married after I became a monk, she would have no one to support her and no money of her own. How could she gain a foothold in her husband's family?
"I can't become a monk..." Song Tan shook his head, his lips trembling. He stood up and murmured loudly: "That's right! I can't become a monk!"
After Song Tan stood up, he pulled the monk's robe of Master Mingde who was standing not far away and said, "Master Mingde, I will not become a monk anymore. I will not become a monk anymore."
Master Mingde, who had been "on standby" at the side, seemed to have triggered the plot. He said, "Amitabha, the donor just needs to figure it out. Since it is nothing for me to do, I will leave first."
After Mingde finished speaking, he left without looking back, as if he had solved a big problem.
After Mingde left, Song Tan seemed like a deflated ball, and his previous remarks seemed to be just a momentary impulse.
"But what should I do? I have no fame, can't be an official, and can't make a lot of money." Song Tan covered his face with his hands and knelt on the ground dejectedly. Walking closer, I could hear him whispering, "What should I do... What should I do!"
Xu Zhao: “…”
She was so dedicated that she could hardly help but applaud.
But the story must go on.
Xu Zhao's expression changed immediately, and he angrily scolded: "You have hands and feet, even if you don't have a title, you can still make money. You can go into business, or you can farm. You have studied for many years, you can go to school and be an enlightenment teacher. There are so many ways, how can you not make money."
Now that the live broadcast is still going on, Xu Zhao feels that he still needs to correct it, lest the children in front of the video be led astray. "Who says being an official is for making money? Officials should be diligent and love the people, and do things for the people. Thinking only about making money is not contrary to the original intention of being an official."
The moment he finished speaking, Xu Zhao suddenly felt as if he was illuminated by a beam of Buddha's light. There seemed to be applause all around him. He immediately felt that his thoughts had become much more noble.
"That's right, you're right!" Song Tan seemed to be reborn. He raised his head suddenly, touched his face, and made himself sober. "I'll go back and discuss it with my sister. At worst, I can accompany her to sell fruit. As long as we save enough money and find a good family, my sister can get married in style."
That’s right, Xu Zhao showed an expression that showed that the boy was teachable.
Song Tan stood up and ran out of the hall as fast as he could, as if a ferocious beast was chasing him. In just a few breaths, he disappeared.
Xu Zhao: “…”
So where are the clues?
Does it mean that the clue can only be found by going back to the female boss?
Having made a guess, Xu Zhao did not delay and also ran towards the outside of Baoguo Temple.
The shared bike she hid outside the temple is still there.
She pointed the front of the bike in the direction she wanted to go, put one foot on the pedal, and put the other foot on the ground to move the bike. Then she lifted her foot and sat firmly on the seat, and the bike moved in the direction she came.
Along the way, Xu Zhao saw Tang Qianshuo's figure flash by in the distance. He kept walking, probably because he was in a hurry to complete the task.
Xu Zhao came to the female boss's cart again.
Su Pianpian, who had left earlier than her, was still in front of the female boss's stall.
"Sister Pianpian, have you bought what you wanted?"
Su Pianpian shook her head. She placed the things in front of the altar as a sacrifice as instructed by the female boss, but after returning to the task point, the female boss did not give her the clue.
Now, looking at the cart full of various things, Su Pianpian didn't know where to start for a moment. She only had 500 coins in her hand, so she had to make a careful decision. If she bought the wrong thing, she would lose everything.
When the female boss saw another guest coming back from a task, she followed the procedure and asked, "Have you found any clues? Are you sure what you need to buy?"
Xu Zhao: “?”
What's the meaning?
What the female boss meant was that the clue was not with her, so...
Xu Zhao calmed down and thought.
No one spoke among the three of them, and even their breathing slowed down.
Su Pianpian first looked at the silent female boss, and then looked at Xu Zhao who was staring at the cart.
[This is not a still picture!] 】
So what is the clue to this mission? 】
[I've already guessed it!] 】
What's upstairs? 】
[Those involved are confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things clearly. I guessed it too! 】
[Uh... people’s joys and sorrows are different, and everyone’s brains are also different. 】
If the clue is actually in the mission, then you should be able to find the clue as long as you complete the storyline.
Plot...
Xu Zhao immediately recalled what had just happened.
The clue definitely cannot come from her. If we talk about closeness, then the clue can only appear from Song Tan.
Xu Zhao's mind immediately recalled what Song Tan said, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She pointed at the five things on the side of the cart and said, "Boss, I want all of these!"
