She thought of gambling, or smoking opium, or keeping a mistress or something! It was true that no matter how much she earned, it was never enough.
Gu Yanming was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant. A hint of amusement appeared on his stern face.
"Well, he doesn't have any special fetishes, but the Master's wife does have one! Don't look at Master Yan like this! He is actually very afraid of the Master's wife!"
Old Yan coughed lightly, "What are you talking about, you little brat! Who is afraid of an old woman?"
Ye Xinran raised her eyebrows. When she read stories, novels, and fantasy dramas before, weren't these masters, old antiques, always alone? It turns out that they have wives!
Old Yan glared at Gu Yanming and felt bitter.
All the gold and silver he got had to be handed over to his wife! He only had a few coins in his pocket every day, which was enough for a meal. He couldn't even afford to buy wine. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so licking his old face and eating and drinking everywhere.
Ye Xinran felt that he was quite pitiful, so she naturally pushed the plate of roast chicken in front of her towards him.
"Eat it, and think of it as your disciple's gift to you!"
Old Yan's eyes lit up, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls, while still talking.
"Girl, the half-month deadline is only five days away. Forget it. I won't test you anymore. As long as you help me with one thing, I will accept you as my disciple!
I heard from the third brother that you want to learn martial arts and medical skills, I agree to both! As long as you help me get things done! "
Ye Xinran was a little excited at first, but suddenly calmed down and asked, "What's the matter? You won't ask me to kill people or do something immoral, right?"
"What are you thinking! Am I such a stubborn person? If you want to do something immoral, then the third child must go! How can I let a girl like you go?"
Gu Yanming was speechless. He was worthy of doing such an immoral thing!
"Then what's the matter?" Ye Xinran breathed a sigh of relief. Just don't let her go!
"Come closer to my ear."
Ye Xinran moved closer, and Old Yan whispered something in her ear for a long time.
Gu Yanming was very curious and planned to ask when Mr. Yan was not around.
"That's it?" Ye Xinran asked suspiciously after hearing this, "Is it that simple?"
Mr. Yan nodded quickly, "How about it? Do you want to go?"
Ye Xinran rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Then go now! Come find me when you're done! How about we become my disciples tonight?"
Ye Xinran thought about it and nodded. She said to Gu Yanming next to her, "I'll go do something first! See you later!" Then she jumped out of the window.
Gu Yanming was stunned! He left right away!
Seeing Ye Xinran leave, Mr. Yan smiled and said to Gu Yanming, "The little girl has left. Come on, ask the waiter to serve some more dishes. The food is too light! I want to eat pig's trotters. Bring another pot. Oh, and braised fish!"
Gu Yanming was speechless, "Master, you can't deal with my wife, so you send her away and deal with me?"
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with the master eating the dishes you ordered?" Old Yan did not admit it, but still called the waiter at the door.
Gu Yanming had no time to stop it.
After Mr. Yan ordered a bunch of dishes and the waiter went down to prepare them, Gu Yanming spoke quietly.
"Master, what I just said is the truth. I have no money. You sent my wife away. What are we going to do?"
Old Yan frowned and said in disbelief, "You don't have any private money?" He would at least keep some secretly. How honest must the third brother be to not keep any for himself!
"No!" Gu Yanming spread his hands.
Mr. Yan thought that what he had told the little girl was not difficult, and she should be back soon! He didn't want to eat a free meal! Otherwise, if it really didn't work out, he would just run away first, anyway, the third brother was here!
At this time, Ye Xinran was flying among a group of houses and soon found the yard that Mr. Yan mentioned, with two jujube trees and a peach tree!
She followed what Master Yan had taught her, dodged the formation, and soon stopped on the roof of a large courtyard that looked plain on the outside, but had rockery, flowing water, pavilions, and towers inside.
"Don't try to fool me. Are you sure this golden Buddha is made of pure gold? There's no silver in it? I'm giving it to someone as a gift!"
"Madam, how could I lie to you? It's absolutely pure gold! I used a full nine pounds, nine ounces, and nine cents of gold! Not a cent more, not a cent less! Knowing you're giving it as a gift, I made it very delicately! Look at the workmanship!"
Ye Xinran heard an old woman talking to someone in the corridor. She carefully leaned out, but before she could see the hem of the person's clothes, her calf suddenly hurt, and she lost her balance and fell down. She fell directly on several pots of flowers, smashing the flowers and pots into pieces.
Ye Xinran was in so much pain that she couldn't get up for a long time.
"Where did this little bastard come from? How dare you come to my house and be a thief!"
An old woman with delicate but wrinkled eyebrows, gray hair but full of energy, stood with her hands on her hips and glared at Ye Xinran.
"I think you don't want to live anymore!"
"Misunderstanding!" Ye Xinran raised her hand, "Madam, you misunderstood! I just took the wrong way!" But she remembered that Master Yan had repeatedly warned her not to give him up if she was caught!
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? And you came to the wrong door!" The old lady sneered, "It seems that you think I'm too old to be soft-hearted! Come here..."
Ye Xinran was a little anxious, she knew that the reason why she fell from the roof just now must be because of this old woman. She was not stupid enough to think that the old woman was easy to bully.
He turned his eyes and saw the middle-aged man with a look of surprise on his face and the golden Buddha on the stone table next to him, and a plan came to his mind.
"Wait, old lady, listen to me!
Were you just worrying about whether this golden Buddha is made of pure gold? I have a way to verify that it is made of pure gold! "
The old lady raised her eyebrows and looked at the golden Buddha, as if thinking about something.
She was going to send this golden Buddha to the Huguo Temple in the capital, and in order to make her wish come true, she wanted to make it real, so she had to make sure it was not fake. But merchants valued profits, so even if she paid a lot of money, she was afraid that they would make it fake!
She looked up at Ye Xinran and thought, why not let her try, what if it really works? The key is that the Golden Buddha must not have any problems.
"Madam!" Several people who looked like servants rushed in. When they saw Ye Xinran, they were all stunned. Then they all had dark faces and wanted to catch her.
Ye Xinran was startled and was about to step back.
"Wait a moment," the old lady spoke at this time, waved her hand to let the servants move aside, then looked at Ye Xinran.
"Do you have any way to know whether this golden Buddha is made of pure gold?"
Seeing that he would not be caught, Ye Xinran breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground and brushed the dirt off his body.
"I have many ways to know if this golden Buddha is made of pure gold! However, before I verify it, I still want to ask this uncle."
Ye Xinran looked at the man and asked, "Are you sure this Buddha statue is made of pure gold?"
The man affirmed, "Of course!" But he was nervous. Because the old lady was always generous and could buy things for them. If there was something fake occasionally, she couldn't tell. So this time, he also did something a little tricky.
But this little girl said that she could tell the real from the fake, and she didn’t know if it was Tiger’s!
When Ye Xinran saw his expression, she knew there must be something wrong with this golden Buddha.
"Well, when the results come out, you must hold on. I can tell there is something wrong with this golden Buddha just by looking at it!"
