When Xie Rangchen paused, Helian Yu walked up to him with great familiarity, poured him a cup of warm tea, and served it to him with both hands.

"Master, please."

Seeing that Helian Yu was listening obediently, Xie Rangchen knew that she didn't hear him, so he closed his eyes and raised his hand to take the teacup.

"What did you gain from following the Fourth Prince to the Dali Temple today?"

Helian Yu tried hard to recall, and after a pause, he answered, "I got the 18 shops of the Fourth Prince, and asked Marquis Lu for three cups of goat milk and nut soup."

Xie Rangchen's cup lid collided with the cup body, making a crisp sound.

He raised his eyelids, "Not bad."

"hey-hey……"

As soon as Helian Yu raised a smile on her face, she was caught off guard by Xie Rangchen's next words.

"Since you have a hard time understanding the question, just copy my question a hundred times." Xie Rangchen put the teacup on the stone table and added calmly, "Give it to me tomorrow morning."

Helian Yu almost bit his tongue and opened his mouth to argue, "Master, I am not——"

"Two hundred times."

Helian Yu covered his mouth and stomped his feet on the ground with little force.

She was just joking with her master, could he not hear it at all?

Copy! Copy! Copy! That’s all you know how to do it, right?

Helian Yu was frantic in his heart, but his face was well-behaved and restrained, "Master, I will go back and copy the words first."

Xie Rangchen played the zither, looking very elegant and graceful: "Go ahead, dinner will be in the small hall in the main courtyard, remember to be there on time."

Helian Yu left the bamboo forest and saw Chang Zuo standing outside with a sword on his back.

Helian Yu ran up to him and started complaining, but Chang Zuo was naturally cold and indifferent, so he just nodded without saying a word.

"Chang Zuo! How do you stand him?"

Chang Zuo answered seriously: "Young Master saved Chang Zuo's life."

Helian Yu clapped his hands, "So you can't stand him either, right?"

Chang Zuo quickly denied: "No."

Just as Helian Yu opened his mouth to talk to Chang Zuo again, Chang Zuo tiptoed and leaped onto the roof. After a few more leaps, he disappeared.

"……coward!"

"Can't stand it?"

A familiar voice sounded behind me.

Helian Yu was frightened and didn't dare to look back. He walked out as if nothing had happened.

Xie Rangchen's voice came again, "Three hundred times, give it to me tomorrow morning."

Helian Yu's scalp tingled. He gathered his emotions and looked back with red eyes, only to find that there was no one behind him.

Helian Yu rolled his eyes, wiped his eyes, and muttered: "It was all in vain."

Helian Yu felt overwhelmed when he thought about copying the manuscript three hundred times, so he could only speed up his pace.

Chang Zuo suddenly jumped out, grabbed Helian Yu by the back of her collar, and carried her to the study in the side courtyard.

"The young master said that this Wushuang Garden will belong to you in the future."

After saying that, Chang Zuo disappeared again.

The night spreads out like ink staining a white ball.

The small hall in the main courtyard of the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Xie Rangchen and Chang Zuo sat at separate tables. There were all the dishes and chopsticks on the right side, but an empty seat.

"Sir, the young lady should be copying now and has no time to eat." Chang Zuo reminded.

Xie Rangchen looked at the table full of light vegetarian dishes and picked up his chopsticks. "Go to the kitchen stove to warm up one bowl of porridge and one bowl of vegetables."

"Chang Zuo understands."

Wushuang Garden, in the study.

“Aaaaaaaa——”

Helian Yu threw away the pen in his hand, jumped onto the table, and stepped hard on the unwritten paper.

“You damn devil! You just love to bully people! You’re a femme fatale! Ahhhh——”

"A snake in the mouth of a Buddha! A snake in the mouth of a Buddha! A snake in the mouth of a Buddha!"

Helian Yu glanced at the serial number he had marked: "One hundred and fifteen, one hundred and seventeen? Huh?"

Helian Yu paused, climbed down from the table, dipped his finger in ink, and then wrote down the numbers from 'one hundred and seventeen' to 'one hundred and nineteen', 'one hundred and thirty', 'one hundred and forty-one', and so on.

Within an hour, Helian Yu climbed onto the table again.

This time she put her hands on her hips, "Old monster! Fight me!"

When he reached the door, Xie Rangchen paused as he raised his hand to knock on it.

Old demon? Fight her? Xie Rangchen stood at the door and heard two loud laughs from inside, followed by a cough, and occasionally a few arrogant words like "I am a genius".

Xie Rangchen knocked on the door, and it became quiet inside. He said, "The food is warm in the kitchen. Go find it when you're hungry."

After a long silence, Xie Rangchen turned and left.

A loud and trembling voice came from the room: "Got it!"

Xie Rangchen's eyebrows softened and he smiled helplessly.

That night.

[I am a genius! I am a genius! I am a genius!] [Scores for this diary: 15; Current score: 554.]

Helian Yu fell asleep in excitement, and everyone who saw the diary was dumbfounded.

In the Prince Qi's Mansion, Helian Su frowned: "Crazy?"

At the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Helian Chi was puzzled, "What did that demon Taoist trick the little fool into doing?"

On the battlefield, Helian Mo laughed.

In the palace, the prince frowned.

On a passenger ship in Jiangnan, Helian Sheng waved his fan and nodded.

…

…

"One hundred and fifteen is followed by one hundred and seventeen?"

"One hundred and seventeen is followed by one hundred and nineteen?"

Xie Rangchen flipped through the not-so-thin stack of papers in his hand and asked Helian Yu for advice.

Helian Yu stood crookedly in front of the stone table, kicking the ground with his toes, "Master, I'm not good at arithmetic."

Xie Rangchen's forehead was filled with black lines. He finally understood what she meant by "I am a genius".

"Master, look at my hands, they are all red..."

"Sir, she rubbed cinnabar on her hands." Chang Zuo poked his head down from the eaves, his face stern and expressionless as he exposed the truth.

Helian Yu put his hands behind his back guiltily and blinked at Xie Rangchen to beg for mercy, "Master, I really wrote it seriously."

"really."

Helian Yu raised his little head and a smile appeared on his face.

"I wrote it with three brushes tied together." Xie Rangchen's eyes curved downward, "Is that right?"

"No." Helian Yu stiffened his neck and refused to admit it.

Her unique skills are not passed on to others.

Xie Rangchen did not continue to ask questions. He gathered the papers on the table and shouted, "Chang Zuo."

Chang Zuo fell to the ground, "Sir, please give me your orders."

"Take Yu'er for a walk on the street. If there's anything you need, buy it for her."

"Master, aren't you going out for a walk?"

Helian Yu was not a person who could keep quiet, but Xie Rangchen was just the opposite, so she often asked before going out.

Every time, it's the same answer.

"No."

Helian Yu: As expected.

Helian Yu and Chang Zuo went out and were carried to a simple carriage. Helian Yu poked his head out and asked, "Brother Chang Zuo, how much silver did you bring with you?"

"One thousand taels."

"Hiss~" Helian Yu was surprised. She didn't expect that such a simple Imperial Master's Mansion could easily take out a thousand taels. She tilted her head and said, "This thousand taels can't be all our belongings, right?"

"The Imperial Master's Mansion has its own industry, and one thousand taels is not a lot." Chang Zuo explained simply.

"Then...how much money can you make every month?" Helian Yu asked an impolite question.

"Ten taels of silver."

"Ha ha--"

"You don't have even one or two."

Helian Yu's face froze: "Ha——cough cough cough..."

"An ordinary family only spends a few dozen taels of silver per month or year. I follow the young master, and I get food, clothing, housing and transportation all provided for me. I don't have to spend a penny of the ten taels of silver per month." Chang Zuo said with a stern face, explaining his "ten taels of silver" to Helian Yu non-stop. At the end, he said, "In fact, you can live without silver, just like you."

Helian Yu smiled at him, decisively lowered the curtain of the carriage, and hid inside.

If you don’t know how to speak, just shut up!

No wonder Chang Zuo likes to practice swordplay, he just wants to poke people’s wounds.
