Facts proved that Xuanyuan Mingchen had really made a big deal out of nothing. Yan Miaoling, apart from the initial moment she left the Shen residence and deliberately left the people behind her and hid in the space, later on, once she had walked far away, she came out openly.
If she doesn’t come out, how can she go shopping, how can she eat delicious food; how can she know what the ancient shops sell; how can she know the prices; how can she look for business opportunities to make money?
No matter at what time or in what dimension, if you don't have money, you can't live well.
Look, she just walked along the most prosperous central street and spent half of the silver ingots on her.
If you ask, what did you buy?
You're a spendthrift. You don't even know how to make money, but you start spending money?
She would need bedding to sleep in, pots and pans to drink water and eat, and a few sets of coarse clothes to avoid being exposed...
That's not all. She also has to pay to sleep in the inn at night. After thinking about it, she couldn't find a good business opportunity. She gave up the idea of enjoying herself and decided to sleep in the space first.
Although, it's a bit small, like a doghouse.
But even if she had no money, it was better than sleeping under a bridge. She'd just gone there and nearly been raped by a bunch of male beggars. This made her realize that the status and security of women in ancient times were incomparable to those of modern times.
Even when she walked on the street, she didn't dare to show her true face. Her face was covered with black mud, and she looked as ugly as she could be.
She was really hungry, so she bought some meat buns and squatted in the corner to eat them...
She had no idea that two forces behind her had already noticed her every move and were reporting back to their masters.
"What? You're in such a bad situation?"
Bai Muchen was a man of responsibility. Since he had already decided to marry her to repay her for saving his life, there was no reason for him to sit back and do nothing. "Chuanbai, you stay with my junior sister to watch over the clinic. I'll be out for a moment!"
"Yes, sir!"
...
Yan Miaoling was enjoying her meal when she suddenly felt someone approach her, leaning against the wall. A closer sniff revealed the scent of spikenard. This wasn't an ordinary household incense from ancient times; it seemed the person next to her was someone with a story to tell. Although he looked disheveled,
But it has nothing to do with her. I'll just keep my distance and continue eating my buns...
Who would have thought that the people around her would actually cast their gaze on her, and keep looking at her...
Just as Yan Miaoling was about to leave, she heard a system reminder, "This is one of the male protagonists, Jin Xuhe, the son of the richest man in Dazhao. Don't you want to make friends with him?"
This wasn't a task assigned by the main system; it was purely its own decision. Thinking about the bound host, who was in another world and had been driven out of home, with no one to rely on, it wouldn't be a bad thing to get to know more wealthy people.
"Isn't this a mission?" Yan Miaoling has been overwhelmed with tasks lately, and this is the first thing that comes to her mind.
System, "I haven't received any instructions from the main system to complete the mission yet. According to the original book's progress, the next person to appear should be the killer male protagonist. Who knows why he suddenly appeared."
Yan Miaoling glanced at the person next to her, which made Jin Xuhe, who was a little greedy, feel that he was caught, and he immediately looked away.
"So ugly... Are you sure you are the male lead?" His face was dark with small black spots all over it.
The secret guards of Prince Chen's Mansion were very puzzled and muttered to Tie Er beside him, "Boss, what is Master Jin doing? Is he using the pathetic trick to trick the little maid?"
They were left wondering whether or not to arrest him. After all, Young Master Jin was a close friend of their prince, had made outstanding contributions to supporting the border war, and would likely continue to do so in the future. It seemed unethical to delay his relationship...
Tie Er knocked him on the head, "You know shit! This is an internal struggle within the Jin family. Young Master Jin was defeated by his stepmother and was kicked out by his biological father!"
"Ah? So miserable? Haven't those businesses always been managed by Young Master Jin? I thought they were all his!" The younger brother was shocked. Young Master Jin was always in the spotlight, and he almost forgot that there was still a Master Jin in the Jin family.
Tie Er sighed, "Alas, I've done the work for someone else! What does it mean to kill the donkey after it's done its work? That's what Master Jin did! I'll go back and talk to the prince about it later, and he'll be in good shape after he's been taught a lesson!"
They even dare to ignore their prince’s friends, asking for trouble!
At the same time, Yan Miaoling also recalled this episode with the help of the system. In the original book, Jin Xuhe had a rich and prosperous life, and only encountered a minor disaster during this period.
He worked so hard to earn money for his father, only to be schemed against by his stepmother, half-brother, and finally kicked out by his biased father. All the tokens representing the head of the family were taken away, and he no longer had any say in the various stores.
My biological father even bit back, "All your achievements are because I am your son. If you were not my son and did not have such a swaggering face, I don't know who would help you or look up to you!"
The young and energetic Jin Xuhe was aroused and left home with nothing, intending to make a name for himself.
However, Yan Miaoling hadn't expected that his initial start-up would be so difficult, and that he would end up like her, a street urchin. He looked very hungry, otherwise why would he keep looking at her buns?
"Isn't it against the plot if I help him?" she asked the system.
System, "Just make sure you complete each mission so you don't lose health. Everything else is beyond my control."
Yan Miaoling no longer felt any psychological burden and handed the bun to the person next to her. "We're both in this world, so would you like two?"
Jin Xuhe wanted to show his strength at first, but turned away and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. It's not necessary!" The main reason was that the girl was too dirty, with mud on her face and hands.
He decided to hold it in for a while longer. Perhaps his personal servant would find him and come to his aid.
This rejection made Yan Miaoling's heart itch even more. If she had to choose which of the ten male protagonists she wanted to get close to the most, it would have to be the man in front of her! Who knew he would be a future treasure? If she didn't cling to him now, when would she?!
Following him, even if she only made a small profit, it would be enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
She was determined to capture him and make friends with him...
Thinking of this, she deliberately ate the bun in big mouthfuls, revealing the meat filling inside and letting the aroma spread...
And swallowing sound...
But after a long time, the man still didn't move.
She looked at her hands and realized that maybe he disliked her. She took out ten coins and said, "Here, take the money and buy it yourself. No need to thank me. Everyone has their hard times."
Jin Xuhe turned around and stared at her dirty face and hands. This time he didn't refuse and took it. "Thank you, young lady!"
A few minutes later, the two of them squatted by the wall and ate buns together...
Yan Miaoling, determined to stay the course, asked, "Uh, big brother, what's wrong with your face? Are you poisoned?" The hero, why is he so daunting? I remember the original book describing him like this: "Although Jin Xuhe came from a merchant family, he exuded an aura of gold and jade, looking more noble than a prince or a grandson of the emperor. Even before he opened his shimmering peach blossom eyes, they already radiated electricity, captivating everyone..."
Thinking of this, Yan Miaoling couldn't help but curl her lips. Isn't it noble? It's all thanks to gold and silver. Even if she is a common person, if there is such a good-looking and wealthy man standing by her side, she would also think it is better than some shitty prince.
