Helian Yu slept more soundly than anyone else. After breakfast, he followed Xie Rangchen and helped manage the Imperial Master's Mansion.

When the Imperial Master first returned to the capital, the palace was deserted and had not yet been tidied up.

Therefore, the little kid Helian Yu was also pulled over to work.

"Master, there are 167 banks, 635 cloth shops, and 391 grain shops in our mansion..."

Helian Yu was searching and sorting out the documents, Xie Rangchen was taking notes, and Chang Zuo was squatting on the beam polishing his sword.

When Helian Yu was about to make an excuse to continue next time after reciting until his mouth was dry, Xie Rangchen handed him a cup of tea.

"Take your time. There's no rush."

Helian Yu was instantly full of fighting spirit. He gulped down a cup of warm tea and continued to recite.

After reciting for a while, Helian Yu was bored and approached Xie Rangchen, "Master, when are you going to go out for a walk? Maybe you can meet some good seedlings!"

Helian Yu poured him tea in a servile manner, hoping to trick Xie Rangchen into going out and bringing back a few more apprentices so that she would have someone to help her share the work.

"Everything depends on fate. The time has not come yet." Xie Rangchen closed the book. "If you are bored, go read it—"

“Not boring!”

Xie Rangchen swallowed his unfinished words and stood up to wash his hands. Helian Yu followed him and handed him a handkerchief attentively.

"Master, although the Imperial Master's Mansion is large, it is deserted after all. Why don't we go out for a walk? Master, you can't stay in the mansion all day, you will become stupid!"

Xie Rangchen paused while wiping his hands, and his clear eyes swept across Helian Yu's round almond eyes, which were filled with anticipation and joy, "Yes."

Chang Zuo almost fell off the beam.

He steadied himself and exclaimed in surprise. The young master didn't like to go out. Most of the time he played the piano, drank tea, tasted wine and admired flowers alone.

Since returning to Beijing, he has received invitations from various governments, but he didn't even look at them and rejected them directly.

Unexpectedly, he was willing to go out today.

Since they were going out, they had to prepare a carriage. Chang Zuo prepared the carriage skillfully.

When they arrived at the most prosperous West Street, Helian Yu pulled Xie Rangchen out of the carriage, and Chang Zuo found a large restaurant to temporarily store the carriage.

The downtown area is bustling, the streetside restaurants are filled with shouts, and the aroma and heat are like clouds and mist in the fairy palace . Under the golden crow's glory, the whole long street seems like a banquet in the heavenly palace.

"After the fifteenth, it becomes lively." Xie Rangchen sighed.

Helian Yu bluntly pointed it out, "Master, you don't usually go out, what are you comparing?"

Xie Rangchen choked for a moment, put his right hand on the back of Helianyu's neck, and led her to the candied haws stall, "Shaoyan nourishes the blood, do you want to eat candied haws?"

Helian Yu clasped his hands together and nodded at him.

Xie Rangchen remained silent, as if sighing, "Being taciturn does not mean not speaking, but... forget it, drink more medicinal soup and say whatever you want to say."

She was mistreated in the cold palace, her body was damaged, and her Qi and blood were insufficient. She should have been restrained and calmed down to replenish her Qi and blood, but she was lively by nature and was afraid that she would not be able to calm down and be quiet, so she could only work on food supplements.

As for strengthening her body, it will be beneficial in the long run, but given her current condition, she has to take it slow.

Xie Rangchen pondered, his eyes fell on the candied haws, "Boss, how much is one?"

"The young master is so handsome! His sister is also a pretty girl! You can tell at a glance that they are blessed! You two definitely have good taste in buying our candied haws! On the entire West Street, everyone says that our candied haws are delicious!"

Xie Rangchen was not good at socializing, so he replied leisurely, "Well, how much?"

"Sir, how many would you like? Why not bring some back home for your parents, sisters, or Shuxin the maid? Our candied haws are the best in the capital!"

The boss was a middle-aged man, short and stocky, and looked kind, but I didn't expect him to be so talkative.

Xie Rangchen put his hands into the sleeves of his black robe and quietly patted the back of Helian Yu's neck, hoping that she would say a few words.

Helian Yu blinked, looked away decisively, and secretly raised her lips. She didn't see anything.

Xie Rangchen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take one."

The boss, who was full of kindness and enthusiasm, changed his expression in the blink of an eye to be cold and sarcastic, "I didn't expect that the young master was dressed so luxuriously, but was actually so stingy."

As he said that, he took out a candied haws that was not of good quality and handed it to Xie Rangchen, "Ten cents."

Xie Rangchen reached into his purse and, under the impatient gaze of his boss, he took out a silver ingot.

The boss was quick to grab it and said, "Sir, I can't find the difference. Please be generous. Just treat it as a jade hairpin!"

"you--"

Xie Rangchen grabbed Helian Yu and pressed her mute point to prevent her from making any sound.

His eyes turned cold. "Normally, candied haws are two or three coins. Ten coins are enough to buy a pound of meat. Is your price reasonable? Or are you deliberately overcharging me? If you don't explain clearly, I will hand you over to the government for punishment."

Helian Yu clapped his hands and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

She gritted her teeth in despair and shouted silently: Old monster.

"Report to the authorities? The concubine of the wife of the Jingzhao Yin is my cousin's sister. It's no use reporting to the authorities!"

The boss had a smug look on his face, with none of the honest and sincere enthusiasm he had just shown, and it seemed as if his true arrogance had been exposed.

"Chang Zuo, send him to the Dali Temple and have him tried by the Fourth Prince himself on charges of disrupting the market and colluding with officials."

Chang Zuo rushed out, biting a bun, with a cold and wooden face. He took away the boss selling candied haws and took out a silver ingot that the boss had snatched away and stuffed it into his own pocket.

He earned ten taels of silver a month, but he had many opportunities to earn extra money.

His son will definitely not take this little money back.

Helian Yu stared at Chang Zuo's actions and anxiously gestured to Xie Rangchen: He is cheating on me!

Xie Rangchen unblocked Helian Yu's mute point.

"You old monster! Are you blind?!"

Helian Yu: "..."

Xie Rangchen: “…”

Then...

On the busy West Street, a little girl in red was chasing after a young man in black robe, yelling something.

Listen carefully

"Master, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

"Master! You are not old!"

"I praise you for being beautiful!"

When Helian Yu caught up with Xie Rangchen, he was talking to Helian Su.

Helian Yu swallowed, and the two people she was afraid of gathered together.

She was also offended...

Helian Yu turned away and was about to run, but before he could take two steps, Xie Rangchen stopped him.

"Yu'er, come here."

Helian Yu's little body froze in place, she turned stiffly and moved to his side reluctantly.

"Xiao Yu'er, I don't know what to call me when I see you?"

Helian Yu pondered Helian Su's expression. Seeing that he was smiling, she wondered if Helian Su was not angry that she scolded him in front of him. "Your Majesty?" Helian Yu cupped his hands again. "Long live His Majesty?"

Helian Su's face darkened, and he snorted, "You do know how to behave."

Helian Yu understood.

He was speaking sarcastically.

He said she had no manners!

"I'll kowtow to you? But this is on the street, how about... finding a place with fewer people?"

Helian Su's face turned pale, and when he was about to correct her, Xie Rangchen put his hand on Helian Yu's shoulder.

"The Imperial Master's Mansion has never knelt before the royal family, and Yu'er is no exception."
