“My daughter earned these through her own abilities. They are a reward from the King, so she has nothing to lose.”
"This is too much silver. No wonder so many people want to fight alongside Prince Chongyang."
"Yes, the Prince of Chongyang is very good; he never mistreats his soldiers."
"Well, then, Mother will keep these for you for now."
"If Mother needs it, she can take it. I will earn money in the future."
"Mother, no. It's really a trait inherited from our ancestors. Anyone else would have been scared to death by the cruelty of the battlefield, but you are something else. Not only are your legs not weak, but you even dare to kill the commander."
"At that time, General Bai attracted the attention of the enemy general, which is why I was able to assassinate him."
"Your courage to make a move is enough to prove your bravery. You are indeed my son. It's a pity you were born a daughter, otherwise you would surely have achieved great things."
“Being a girl is fine too. By the way, Mother, I think the Princess Consort has the idea of opening a civil service examination for women. Maybe we women can become officials in the future. I must study hard, and if the examination is opened, I must take it.”
"Really?" Madam Cen became excited. "When I mentioned it to the Princess last time, I was worried that she would blame me."
"The princess is truly capable and a very good person. She will be a wise and benevolent ruler when she becomes empress."
"If that's the case, you must follow the Princess Consort closely from now on and have no other intentions, understand?" Madam Cen solemnly instructed.
Liu Xiaohuan nodded, "Yes, Huan'er knows. However, the prince is really hard to serve. When he's happy, he's fine, but when he's unhappy, he can scare people to death. Even his right-hand men and trusted ministers wish they could run away."
"Then keep your eyes open and act according to the situation. I heard that the prince doesn't like maids to serve him, so don't get any funny ideas."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Mother?" Liu Xiaohuan blushed slightly. "I've only just come of age. I should be seventeen, eighteen, or twenty before I start thinking about marriage."
"It's up to you. I can ask the Princess to help you find a good one," Madam Cen teased her daughter.
Liu Xiaohuan's face turned even redder.
...
Bai Shalu and Qiao Dongzi were drinking in a tavern.
Across from the restaurant was a jewelry shop, but a couple of days ago, the shop owner's son was bitten by a zombie and turned into one himself. Although he was eventually killed, it still affected business. Now, nobody comes here to buy jewelry.
When the owner saw that no customers were coming, he thought of selling off the jewelry in the store to recoup some of his costs, so he closed the store and stopped operating.
Cen Shi and Liu Xiaohuan came out of the shop, followed by constables from the government office carrying two heavy boxes.
The shop owner saw Cen Shi and Liu Xiaohuan off with a beaming smile, calling them reincarnated bodhisattvas who had saved his entire family's lives.
It turned out that Cen bought all the jewelry in his shop. Although it was less than the cost price, he was able to get rid of it all at once, which was a great help.
Madam Cen smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, Master. Go back and get busy."
"Madam, please be careful, Miss, watch your step." The host helped lift the carriage curtain.
Once the carriage had gone far away, the owner returned to the shop, immediately told his employees to close it, and packed his things to return to his hometown in the countryside.
Bai Shalu drank a glass of wine and picked up a peanut with his chopsticks.
Qiao Dongzi jokingly said, "You've seen a beauty, why don't you go out and say hello? You can also meet your future mother-in-law while you're at it."
"I saw the same thing here."
