Xie Rangchen was wearing a white robe and walking gracefully among the wooden frames.
Helian Yu rushed over, hugged Xie Rangchen's legs, and said in a childish and loud voice: "Master!"
"Yes." Xie Rangchen lowered his eyelids and looked at Helian Yu, "Go stand beside and recite the book."
"Master?" Helian Yu bumped his little head against Xie Rangchen's thigh, "What did I do wrong~"
Xie Rangchen glanced at her and asked, "Are you sure you want me to tell you one by one?"
Helian Yu blinked guiltily, and tugged at Xie Rangchen's robe with her little hand, leaving two wrinkles on it. "That's not necessary. I'll go right away!"
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and ancient..." Helian Yu leaned against the wall, shaking his head.
She had memorized this passage countless times and could recite it by heart.
Xie Rangchen glanced at her, turned over the pine needles in his hands, and called the herbalist, "Go and tell Master Sun to follow the improved recipe."
"Okay, sir."
Xie Rangchen withdrew his hand, put all the pine needles back into the dustpan on the wooden frame, called the herbal boys to help, and walked towards the corridor where Helian Yu was standing.
"Are you sleepy?"
Helian Yu yawned and closed his eyes, "A little bit."
"Then go in and get some sleep."
Helian Yu opened his eyes, looked up at Xie Rangchen, and said, "Master, do you want to make a lot of money?"
Xie Rangchen: “…”
"Master, Master~" Helian Yu stepped forward and pulled his robe, his almond-shaped eyes dark, like a little animal begging for food.
"Come with me to the study."
Xie Rangchen turned around and went to the study first.
Helian Yu jumped up and down, stretched his legs, and quickly passed Xie Rangchen, pushed open the study door, and waved at Xie Rangchen, "Master, come quickly!"
Xie Rangchen paused slightly and walked towards her slowly.
Close the study door.
Helian Yu took out two pieces of tissue paper and a design drawing with detailed materials and steps.
Helian Yu put the things on the table, with a little uneasiness in her eyes. These things were really very good, but she couldn't give them to others. Except for her master, she didn't dare to trust anyone wholeheartedly.
Helian Yu raised her little face, climbed onto Xie Rangchen's legs, then climbed onto the table. Her brocade shoes stepped on Xie Rangchen's white robe twice, leaving a trail of marks.
Helian Yu turned her face away, not seeing it! She held up the thing in her hand, "Master, look! Great business opportunity, right? After it's made, every family will have it, and we'll make a fortune!"
Xie Rangchen took the two things from her hand and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Helian Yu held up two fingers, his eyes sparkling, "First, take out a batch and send it to the palace and important ministers to build up a reputation. Then we can open a store, but the purchase must be limited."
"Once they become popular, we will sell them according to their quality. For the common people, we will sell them as cheaply as possible and with good quality; for the rich, we will sell them as expensively as possible and with fancy designs; for the powerful, we will sell them at a very high price!"
"No one doesn't want to elevate and prove their status. People with money and power will definitely separate themselves from the people. They are the ones chosen by God to give money!"
Helian Yu raised his feet while speaking, and stepped on Xie Rangchen a few times, his eyes burning. When he was excited, he stood directly in Xie Rangchen's arms and jumped on his legs a few times, "Master, Master, how is it? I'm sure you can get the money!"
Xie Rangchen waited for her to finish jumping around, then put her on the table. "That's a good idea."
Helian Yu chuckled and curled her lips, her little face beaming.
"It is better to be smart in making money than to study."
Helian Yu was not happy and stepped on him twice, "Master, please don't spoil my fun, or I won't talk to you next time!"
Xie Rangchen moved her to the side and spread a piece of rice paper on the table. "Good. Yu'er is very insightful, as she is familiar with common affairs instead of studying hard."
Helian Yu chuckled twice and turned to watch Xie Rangchen writing on the rice paper.
"Master's calligraphy is as graceful as a startled swan and as agile as a swimming dragon. It's so beautiful."
"He's good at flattering people."
"Master, too~"
"I'm going to change my clothes. Go get Chang Zuo a cup of warm pear soup."
Helian Yu happily ran out of the study and found Chang Zuo who was polishing his sword, "Brother Chang Zuo, I will be rich soon~"
Chang Zuo glanced at her and asked, "Did the Master ask you to come here?"
"Ah. Warm pear soup!"
"Let's go. The food has already been cooked in the kitchen and it's been simmering on low heat."
"Well, Master is fine~"
Chang Zuo didn't answer. How could it be bad? Whatever she wanted, he would give it to her. Although the master restricted her monthly salary, this rule was meaningless.
At the beginning of the month, she was given 399 taels of silver. At other times, she could take whatever she wanted.
He is different. He only earns ten taels of silver a month, and he has to find ways to make extra money on his own. Alas.
After Helian Yu finished drinking the warm pear soup, Xie Rangchen changed into a red robe with a cloud pattern.
Helian Yu opened his mouth wide and ran to Xie Rangchen, "Master in red clothes is so beautiful~"
It looks a bit like before.
Helian Yu felt very cordial but also very pressured.
Once she peeked at his storybook, he not only punished her by making her copy the storybook, but also made her recite it, and write her thoughts after reciting it.
Woohoo, he is simply a big devil! The current master is still better!
Helian Yu subconsciously pulled at his red robe, gritting his teeth.
Xie Rangchen pulled her little head away and said, "You should practice calligraphy."
"Oh." Helian Yu raised his head and grabbed his sleeve, "Master, when will you start making money?"
"I have handed it over to my subordinates to handle. The results will be seen in early March."
Helian Yu was still a little worried, "Master, if someone...if someone strange comes to you, what are you talking about -"
She was still worried that Liu Qiuyue would come and talk about time travel or something, and instigate her master to rebel. What if her master came down to experience the calamity, he must protect the people. If he started a war, he would definitely be in trouble, and wouldn't he fail in the calamity?
"Yu'er, no one dares to question the Imperial Master."
Helian Yu nodded, "Okay! Master, as long as you know what's going on."
Xie Rangchen: “…”
He played around in the Imperial Master's Mansion for half a day, wrote five large characters, and stole two small golden bells from the treasury. He returned home with a full load.
Just, forget to steal a handful of pine needles.
When we returned to Fengyang Pavilion, it was already dark.
The palace lanterns are lit.
After finishing his meal, Helian Yu took his medicine reluctantly as usual.
She gulped down half a bowl of wine with a frown on her face, then put it down.
"Your Highness?"
Helian Yu spat out a mouthful and quickly chewed two dried fruits. "Chang'an, there's something wrong with the medicine. I added brown sugar and it's not so bitter anymore. It should not be made according to Master's prescription. He will definitely tell me if he changes the prescription."
Chang An's eyes darkened slightly, and he first settled Helian Yu down, "Your Highness, please go to the palace and rest for a while, I will go check."
Helian Yu nodded, and Xingchun took her into the inner hall. Cidong stood there, and after Helian Yu went in, she walked towards Chang'an.
Chang An looked unhappy and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone suspicious?"
Ci Dong nodded.
