Chapter 12: When she was away for a while, he started to miss her.

This was not the first time that Wei Zhaoxian had done this. Even though Mrs. Wei was unwilling, she could not bear to see Wei Zhaoxian in trouble.

If the army is good, Wei Zhaoxian will be good.

If the soldiers in the army were short of food and clothing and suffered a defeat, Wei Zhaoxian would be the first to be held accountable.

Mrs. Wei had no choice but to agree.

However, she usually manages some of the shops owned by Wei Zhaoxian, and leaves some money to deal with such situations.

Just then, Wei Ruyan said she would deduct Shen Shilang's monthly salary, and Mrs. Wei thought this was indeed a good opportunity.

Let's use this opportunity to reduce the monthly salary in the mansion. If everyone reduces their salary, Shen Shilang won't be able to say anything even if his salary is deducted.

Moreover, this is only a temporary difficulty, and everyone’s monthly salary will not be reduced permanently.

He simply told the servants in the mansion that as long as they could get through the temporary difficulties, they would return to their previous state.

When will it recover?

It will be a good opportunity when Shen Shilang goes to Beijing for the imperial examination.

"It's just that you were deducted the most." Su Jinshi said, "Others were only deducted 20% of their monthly silver, but you were deducted 1.5 yuan."

Shen Shilang's monthly salary was already less than that of many servants in the mansion, and this time he had more deducted than others.

"If you say that Madam Wei didn't do it on purpose, I don't believe it." Su Jinshi said angrily, "How can she, a lady from a wealthy family, do things so shamelessly?"

"I don't think she's really doing this for Wei Zhaoxian. She's probably just taking this opportunity to reduce your monthly salary."

When Shen Shilang heard Su Jinshi's angry tone, an image of a girl pouting in anger emerged in his mind.

For the first time, Shen Shilang became curious about Su Jinshi's appearance.

"It's okay. I don't deserve these." Shen Shilang said, "If the Wei Mansion hadn't given me a place to shelter me, I wouldn't know whether I would live or die. I have nothing to do with the Wei family. Madam Wei has tolerated me for so many years and raised me for nothing. It's already a rare thing."

It was precisely because he always thought this way that Shen Shilang never had any dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wei.

Even though Madam Wei thought he was Wei Zhaoxian's concubine and didn't like him, she still kept him in her house for so many years.

"Besides, half a guan of money a month is not a small amount." Shen Shilang smiled, "Even if poor students don't even have this, can't they still study and take the imperial examinations?"

"You never seem to complain about others, which makes me look stingy." Su Jinshi muttered.

Shen Shilang chuckled, "I know you did it for me."

[System: Shen Shilang’s Favorability +1]

Su Jinshi really didn't expect that Shen Shilang's favorability would increase from time to time, which was actually more frequent than her experience.

Her experience has not increased since she gave Shen Shilang the antipyretic medicine.

Thinking of this, Su Jinshi quit the game and searched for the game strategy.

See if there are any ways to gain experience.

But Su Jinshi searched around and didn't find any guide for this game. Apart from herself, she couldn't find even one beta test player.

"Weird." Su Jinshi muttered, returned to the game and found his personal center.

There is actually an option to contact customer service.

Su Jinshi asked questions about mission experience.

Smart Xiaotong: "Dear Jinshi, hello, this game does not have regular main quests. You need to explore on your own to increase your experience."

Su Jinshi: “…”

Okay.

Just as Su Jinshi quit asking, she heard Shen Shilang's voice, "Jinshi? Jinshi? Are you still there?"

"I'm here, I'm here." Su Jinshi quickly responded, "How long have you been calling me?"

"No." Shen Shilang would never admit that he had indeed called her for a long time.

Since Su Jinshi didn't answer just now, he thought Su Jinshi left without saying a word.

I can't tell whether I feel lost or disappointed.

Hearing Su Jinshi's reply and knowing that she was still there, Shen Shilang's heart immediately leaped with joy.

Then, Shen Shilang was stunned for a moment. Since when did he get used to Su Jinshi's presence? He would miss her when she was not around for a while.

Seeing Shen Shilang standing there in a daze, Su Jinshi poked Shen Shilang's cheek.

Although she was poking the hard screen of the phone, she could see Shen Shilang's cheek bounce inward.

Shen Shilang blushed and dodged to the side, covering his cheeks, "When will you stop trying to touch me whenever you get the chance?"

Su Jinshi moved his eyes downwards, and suddenly a bold idea popped up in his mind.

She was about to stretch out her evil little claws towards Shen Shilang, but Shen Shilang suddenly stood up and said, "Have you ever walked outside the mansion?"

Shen Shilang never asked why Su Jinshi was following him.

But he guessed that there might be some restrictions that forced Su Jinshi to only stay with him.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

During the time he spent with Su Jinshi, Shen Shilang knew that Su Jinshi spent most of his time by his side during the day.

As for the night, after he fell asleep, Su Jinshi was not there either.

Su Jinshi did not touch him while he was sleeping.

Because he was a light sleeper, he always had nightmares at night since the night the Shen family was massacred.

Even if he knew that the Wei Mansion was safe, he would still be startled and be on guard against someone trying to kill him.

So if Su Jinshi touched him at night, he would know.

Su Jinshi was stunned for a moment and said, "No."

She was so focused on following Shen Shilang that she didn't even bother to look outside.

There is a large map in the game. She opened it, but only the area around Wei Mansion was bright, and everything outside the Mansion was gray.

She tried pointing at the area outside the Wei Mansion, but there was no response.

Su Jinshi guessed that he needed to reach a certain level before he could switch to outside the Wei Mansion.

And now, she is still in the Novice Village.

But this game is magical. If it were any other game without a main storyline or tasks, she would have been bored and quit the game long ago.

But here, she found Shen Shilang's life interesting every day and never felt bored for a moment.

"Do you want to go out for a walk with me?" Shen Shilang said, "I want to go out and buy some paper and ink."

Besides, his brush was almost worn out, so he had to buy a new one.

"OK!"

When Shen Shilang walked out, the picture on the mobile phone automatically followed Shen Shilang.

After leaving Wei Mansion, Su Jinshi saw the streets outside for the first time.

The streets are crowded with people and are particularly lively with the hawkers calling out on both sides.

Su Jinshi opened the map, and sure enough, all the places where Shen Shilang had walked were lit up on the map.

Shen Shilang walked into a bookstore called Xibaozhai, picked out a brush and some cheap rice paper, but chose a medium-priced piece of ink, which was the most expensive thing Shen Shilang bought this time.

"Why did you buy such cheap paper? I feel dizzy when writing." Su Jinshi asked him, "But you bought such expensive ink."

Shen Shilang explained in a low voice, "During the exam, the paper is provided by the court, so you don't need to bring your own. These papers are enough for me to write on. But you need to bring your own ink. I'm going to save this ink for the exam. For important exams, you always need a good ink."
