Chapter 87 A Good Man Never Suffers a Loss
Xiao Yulan quickly calmed down and said, "Let's go back."
When they walked out of the bamboo forest, Bu Ruo suddenly turned around and said, "Wait a moment."
He formed an incomprehensible seal with his hands and charged straight towards the bamboo forest: "If anyone tries to enter this bamboo forest in the future, just die."
"This is where my mother lived when she was alive. You must protect it. If you become emperor in the future, I will live here too."
"Xiao Yulan, please wait for me for a few days. I will find a way for you to meet the Emperor and the Empress, okay?"
Xiao Yulan looked at Bu Ruo excitedly: "Is it really possible? Can I really see my father and mother again?"
"Hmm... although it's a bit difficult, it should be possible. It's nothing more than throwing a tantrum, which I'm best at."
Xiao Yulan: ...
"Ruo'er, although I really want to see my father and mother, if it would be dangerous or harmful to you, then it's better not to see them."
"I've already guessed what happened between Father and Mother. I just lost control of my emotions today."
Bu Ruo waved her hand and said, "It's okay, just wait. I like to see you smile."
…
Day 2
"Princess, you are finally awake. The phantom from yesterday was already waiting in the yard."
Bu Ruo stood up and held her forehead: "I slept a little late last night and got up late today. Let her come in. They are both women, there is nothing to be shy about."
Phantom came in and saw Bu Ruo washing up. Annoyance flashed in his eyes: "I came too early and disturbed the princess's rest."
Bu Ruo wiped her face and said, "It has nothing to do with you. I got up late."
"There's a book on the table over there. I had someone copy it down. Just continue practicing according to the instructions."
Recently, Bu Ruo has been able to find the books left by the woman in his consciousness every now and then. There are all kinds of things, as if they were thrown there randomly according to her mood.
But she found that no one except herself could read the book she took out from her spiritual consciousness, as it was filled with blank paper, so she found someone to read it to her and asked him to write it down, intending to show it to Xiao Yulan.
Tao Ran: You just throw it away. This kind of book is so hard to come by that you actually say I just throw it away?!
Phantom picked up the book, flipped through only two pages, and then knelt on the ground: "Thank you for the reward, Princess."
Bu Ruo waved her hand: "No need to be like this, it's just a book."
Phantom held the book like a treasure. "Princess, you don't know that in the Three Kingdoms period, the number of books that record this kind of strange and unusual arts can be counted on one hand, and they are all incomplete. There isn't a single book as comprehensive and righteous as this one."
"What I'm practicing is what my father left in his bag. Although it's righteous, it's also incomplete. That's why I haven't been able to improve my skills. But the prince said that I can't practice evil arts..."
"Thank you, Princess."
Bier was curious, so she stretched her neck to take a look at what was written in the book and couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong, Bi'er? Do you want to learn something new? I'll see if there's anything suitable for you later."
Bi'er shook her head: "No, Princess, I am laughing because of... the words in the book."
"Character?"
Bu Ruo took the book and flipped through a few pages, only to feel a row of black lines on his forehead.
"Haha, what a great Jin Congcong! He even complained that I was slow when I told him I was reading and writing at the same time. He finished a book in just a few days. Even children can write better than him with his awful handwriting."
"Bi'er, Jin Congcong's salary for helping me write books these days will be reduced by half! If he dares to fool me, I will let him know how dangerous the world is!"
Phantom: Being around the princess seems... quite interesting.
"Princess, the prince has asked me to work with Miss Bi'er to protect you. I am a rough man and don't know how to do delicate things like combing hair, dressing, and matching jewelry. I will stay in your yard from now on. If you need anything, just let me know."
Bu Ruo nodded: "I don't have so many rules here. I don't need anyone to watch over me at night. There are many rooms in this yard. You can find a room you like and stay there. You can rest at night."
After lunch, Bu Ruo was sitting there thinking about taking Xiao Yulan to get the imperial edict in the evening when Jin Congcong came.
"Ruo'er, I heard that you want to cut the money I paid you to write a book in half. Why?"
"I've been working so hard transcribing for you every day lately, my hands are almost blistered! What gives you the right to just give me half as much?"
Bu Ruo picked up the book in her hand and flicked it towards him: "How dare you come and ask me this? Take a good look at your awful handwriting. I have to guess and guess every time I read a page, not to mention that there are two typos in every ten words."
"You're too greedy and too quick to write, and your writing is a mess. If it weren't for the fact that you've really worked hard, I wouldn't even want to give you half the money!"
"Also, let me ask you, how did you feel when I asked you to write these? Especially the one I asked you to write three times."
Jin Congcong lowered his head and thought for a moment: "What does it feel like? Does it count as if my hand is almost broken?"
"Besides the fact that my hand is almost broken? Is there anything else?"
"As for the rest... I just want to write faster, faster, faster, and faster, so I can make more money."
Bu Ruo held his forehead and asked, "Do you feel anything in your Dantian? Do you feel anything warm in your Dantian?"
"Dantian...? I don't think I have one. I've just been writing all this nonsense for you lately and I've been exhausted. I've eaten a little too much and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, like I'm bloated."
Bu Ruo really didn't want to see him: "Bi'er, give him five taels of silver and tell him to get out. I really don't want to see him for a moment."
Bi'er held back her laughter and handed over five taels of silver. Looking at someone who was about to retort, she said, "Master Jin, you'd better go back quickly, otherwise the princess will get anxious and you won't even have five taels left."
Jin Congcong took the silver and muttered quietly: "Humph, a good man never suffers a loss in front of him, five taels is five taels."
"Ruo'er, I'll come help you copy the book tomorrow, okay? I promise to write it well this time. I won't be too hasty or too quick, and... I'll try to avoid any typos."
Bu Ruo threw another book at him and roared, "Go back and copy this book three times and memorize it. I'll check it in three days! Get out!"
Seeing that Bu Ruo was angry, Jin Congcong turned around and ran away with the book and silver, fearing that she would change her mind and ask for the silver back.
Bi'er smiled and tried to calm Bu Ruo down: "Princess, please don't be angry. Don't you know what kind of person Master Jin is? Be careful not to get too angry and hurt yourself."
Bu Ruo picked up the fruit on the table and bit into it as if to vent his anger: "I'm so angry, so angry!"
"You've only been listening for a few days and have gained some insights, your inner strength has improved a lot, but what about that guy? He hasn't even gained any insights..."
"If he can't memorize the book I just gave him, I don't care if it's a disaster or not, just let him die!"
Bu Ruo took two more bites of the fruit...
