"Okay. See you later."
Sheng Huainan stood up to see her off, glancing at Xiaoqing. "Alas, girls are shy after all. They don't dare to directly say they're willing to sell me. Let her taste the pain of longing."
Lin Che ignored Sheng Huainan, who looked extremely excited, and left Zuiyue Tower with his men.
Naturally, he did not give up and went to two other high-standard pawnshops. In the end, he found that the price they offered was actually not as good as the price given by Zuiyue.
On the way back home, Lin Che sat in the carriage, thinking hard.
How can I get the money?
It's not the kind of money earned from opening a store or doing business, it must be a windfall.
One hundred thousand taels of silver, only a few skill points!
Just getting tens of thousands of silver is not enough.
What business are you doing?
Perfume, I have it.
Soap, it's done.
Paper, printing, gunpowder, glass, cement and other major products are all available.
With the development of various schools of thought, many things that are used in daily life have been developed. Even if they are not hard-tech products, they can definitely meet daily needs.
For example, farmers do not extract perfume. They have special plant varieties and use grafting techniques to turn the sap of the plant itself into perfume.
I definitely don’t have Viagra, Amoxicillin, or Penicillin, but I don’t know how to use them!
I can’t figure it out!
Rebellious system, if you were a universal supermarket, I would be rich.
After a long and arduous journey, Lin Che finally returned to Jing'an Prefecture.
From a distance, I saw hundreds of Confucian students standing outside the gate of Jing'an Prefecture.
They were standing or sitting in groups of three or five, waving their folding fans in a very ostentatious manner, pointing at Jing'an Mansion, and attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.
"Dear students, what brings you to Jing'an Prefecture?"
Lin Che was not afraid of trouble and went to meet him with a swagger.
"Are you the proton Lin Che?"
"Humph, you're the one who wronged our Senior Brother Zhou Xianchun? Don't be so playful in front of us."
"Senior Sister Zhaoxue, come here quickly. Lin Che is back. Everyone, surround him. Don't let him go until you give me an explanation today."
Lin Che listened to their chatter and roughly understood what they were saying.
They all came for Zhou Xianchun.
But this group of Confucian scholars believed that "a gentleman uses words, not fists." It was impossible to ask them to beat him up or extort money from him.
Um?
Am I crazy about money?
Even if you can make money quickly, you can't do this kind of thing!
Lin Che coughed dryly and said loudly, "Quietly—speak one by one. What do you want to do by besieging Jing'an Prefecture and threatening meritorious officials?"
At this time, Mo Zhaoxue walked to the front of the crowd, and many students made way for him.
"Lin Che, long time no see. I'm Mo Zhaoxue."
"Oh... you're my fiancée. It's been a long time. You're so beautiful!"
Lin Che took a look at Mo Zhaoxue. She was indeed a classical beauty. She was dressed in the attire of a Confucian scholar, mainly white with green stripes as embellishments, making her look like a white lotus.
In particular, she would subconsciously frown slightly, giving people a feeling that she was very weak and in need of protection.
"What are you doing here? Or, why don't you come into my house and talk?"
"I won't go in. The reason I came to see you today is actually because of Zhou Xianchun's matter."
Mo Zhaoxue said this, looking at Lin Che, disappointment flashing across his eyes.
When she heard His Majesty personally urging her to get married, she naturally conducted a serious investigation into Lin Che.
Lin Che was simply a despised young master in the Zhenguo Mansion. He was neither good at literature nor martial arts. Relying on his ten years as a hostage, he was arrogant and proud of his achievements in the Golden Palace. He even sued his own father, the Duke of Zhenguo.
Even though Lin Che has his own mansion now, he was driven out by the Zhenguo Mansion.
Without the Zhenguo Mansion, what connections and background does Lin Che have?
Complimenting her on her beauty right from the start is a habitual way of complimenting others, not a sign of strength.
But despite this, Mo Zhaoxue still kept smiling:
"Lin Che, Junior Brother Zhou Xianchun did do something wrong. I apologize to you on his behalf. Can you forgive him?"
Lin Che frowned: "You apologized on behalf of Zhou Xianchun, what is your relationship with him?"
"I'm his senior sister. If any student in the entire Confucian Academy gets into trouble, I'll naturally help if I can."
Mo Zhaoxue looked righteous and awe-inspiring:
"We went to the Mingjing Division yesterday. Their response was very clear. Junior Brother Zhou Xianchun, although his mistake was unintentional and he was just being quick-witted, His Majesty will still punish him severely. The key here is your attitude. If you can forgive him and give him a chance, his punishment will be much lighter."
"Lin Che, you're a man of great stature, and you should have a broad mind. When faced with something like this, you should just laugh it off and forget about grudges. This is also what I believe a man should possess most. Could you please submit a memorial to His Majesty asking for mercy? Spare Zhou Xianchun?"
That’s pretty good.
What a beautiful white lotus.
You are pretending to be innocent, kind, and a savior in front of me, right?
After all, I am engaged to you. Zhou Xianchun ridiculed me in public and said that I was not even worthy of carrying your shoes. Have you ever spoken for me?
Do you also think in your heart that I am not worthy of carrying your shoes?
I'm narrow-minded for still being so yin and yang here, right?
Anyone who comes to ask for mercy should at least apologize and be greeted with a smile. This is a sufficiently humble attitude.
And you?
Do I owe you something?
Lin Che asked in a resolute voice:
"Why?!" A righteous spirit! A Confucian student!
