Chapter 025 This bowl of chicken soup is really fragrant(1/2)
The middle-aged man suddenly realized that Ma had been fooled!
However, Lu Xuan's lively appearance also made him feel relieved. As long as the little girl was fine, he really didn't care about a little money. A dozen taels of silver seemed like a windfall to Gu Wuyou, but the middle-aged man had said it before
, that's just his pocket money.
Having said that, he didn't have the guts to fight two little liars.
Because Lu Xuan's coma was not a fake.
Although middle-aged people still don't understand, the fact is that Lu Xuan almost died in the spirit gathering box, and no one knows whether there will be any future troubles.
That's all, spend money to buy peace of mind.
The middle-aged man waved his hand: "Since everything is okay, then get out of here."
Gu Wuyou was greatly surprised. It was so successful? According to the normal rhythm, shouldn't he expose the two of them on the spot and chase them ten miles away? Gu Wuyou and his master have done this kind of blackmail before
, the experience value is not zero.
Why is this?
Looking at the happy Lu Xuan next to him, Gu Wuyou suddenly understood. No wonder the little girl often said that in any business, the partner is very important.
The old Taoist's frilly old face is annoying to everyone, even if the owner doesn't care about the money, he has to chase after him just to vent his anger. Lu Xuan is different, a little loli blackmailing people also shows a bit of cuteness.
The "gambling" in the morning actually illustrates this point.
If you are a seasoned player, even if your mobile phone assists you in defeating other players, the opponent will probably suspect him of cheating if he loses money and have to check it out.
Lu Xuan's actions were so majestic that no one cared.
Master, Master, those are not wrinkles on your face, they are pits!
Gu Wuyou winked at Gu Pan and Shangguan Yi, picked up Lu Xuan and ran away quickly.
The middle-aged people are completely relieved.
Thinking back, he thought that Lu Xuan might have a good foundation before, but he was obviously wrong. Not to mention that the little girl fell into a coma, but not a single star shone. Although the time was shorter, his foundation was not bad, and he entered the party.
The spirit box can light up one or two stars immediately, and the extra time afterwards is mainly for judging the potential.
The middle-aged man did not notice that the stars actually flashed for a moment when the spell was played.
The quantity...is all nine!
It's just that the flashing time was too short, and neither the three Gu Wuyou nor the onlookers, including middle-aged people with advanced cultivation, had time to notice it.
The four people quickly left the "crime scene". Gu Wuyou happily counted money with Lu Xuan as they walked, while Gu Pan and Shangguan Yi looked strange and remained silent.
Quietly put some distance between you and these two "dead liars".
Shangguan Yi: "Xiao Pan, tell me, what exactly does he think?"
Gu Pan shook his head: "I don't understand either."
Maybe Gu Wuyou was poor before, but the situation changed after entering the Shangguan Mansion. If he didn't accept help from the Shangguan family, the Gu family's property would all be in the hands of his sister Gu Pan. What else would the brother and sister have to share with each other?
However, Gu Wuyou didn't even want Gu Pan's money.
Okay, you are arrogant enough. But you are so arrogant, you blackmail people without caring about face... Well, and you are not afraid of danger. The middle-aged man is a court official, aren't you afraid of being arrested by him and sent to prison for half a year?
Naturally, she didn't understand that for Gu Wuyou and Lao Dao, as long as they could earn a living, blackmailing people would not reach the bottom line.
As for not wanting to be financed by Shangguan's family and Gu Pan, it's not because of arrogance, but because you can't wipe away that face. No matter how down-and-out a person is, or how low-key he is outside, he still hopes to retain the last bit of dignity in front of relatives and friends.
Lu Xuan put the money away again.
Gu Wuyou: "Can we be considered rich now?"
Lu Xuan: "It must be!"
Shangguan Yi curled his lips when he heard this. Even if you can get rich with more than ten taels of silver, how small are you two? I'm afraid you don't know, Gu Wuyou, that a new disciple of Taihao Taoist Academy starts with twenty taels of money per month.
Ordinarily Lu Xuan shouldn't be so ignorant. After all, he was someone who once lived in a villa.
She has learned about the currency of China. One tael of silver is exchanged for 1,000 copper plates. The purchasing power of one copper coin is almost equal to one yuan of RMB on earth. Of course, it cannot be as simple as a one-to-one correspondence. The stock of goods and the difficulty of obtaining them must be considered.
For example, the price of cloth in China is relatively high, while food is relatively cheap.
In any case, a dozen taels of silver is nothing more than tens of thousands of yuan, and it is nothing to Lu Xuan, a prodigal girl who dared to max out her father's credit card to buy a spaceship in one go.
But she has been poor for eight months!
For eight months, he had been sleeping in the open and often hungry. Originally, Lu Xuan was worried that his bean sprouts would grow crooked because he was not acclimated to the climate. As a result, he would not even be able to eat enough. If he did not grow crooked, he would not be able to live up to God's will.
When people are poor and have short ambitions, Lu Xuan's mentality will naturally change.
Gu Wuyou asked: "Start making soap tomorrow?"
Lu Xuan shook his head: "We won't do it for now."
"Um?"
Lu Xuan: "I think you should concentrate on the assessment on February 2nd and not be distracted. It won't be too late to make soap after you are admitted to the Taoist Academy. And didn't Shangguan Yi say that Taoist disciples have monthly money?"
Gu Wuyou turned around and asked Shangguan Yi: "How many copper coins is the monthly fee?"
Shangguan Yi stretched out two fingers and shook them.
"Twenty? Two hundred?"
"Twenty." Shangguan Yi said, "But it's not copper coins, it's silver."
"Twenty taels of silver!" Gu Wuyou was shocked, "That much?"
"This is the monthly quota for new students. If your grades are good enough, the monthly quota will increase."
Gu Wuyou was even more shocked: "What's the highest I can get?"
Shangguan Yi: "It is said that someone got five thousand."
"Five, thousand, two, white, silver!" Gu Wuyou gritted his teeth.
Those who receive five thousand taels of silver a month are actually not the real leaders. Taoist disciples with great prospects cannot be satisfied with money at all. They will join the Taihao Sect and become inner disciples, high-ranking monks.
Lu Xuan: "You can get rich by going to school, so why pick up soap?"
Gu Wuyou: "This bowl of chicken soup is really delicious."
He was able to learn skills to save old people, watch football, and make a lot of money. Not only Lu Xuan was amazed, but Gu Wuyou also felt that he had lived twenty years in vain.
Gu Wuyou was in high spirits: "Master Tao will be a rich man from now on. Let's go, I'll treat everyone to a restaurant!"
Lu Xuan: "I want to eat elbow."
The four of them found a restaurant. Gu Wuyou had money in hand and did not panic. He boldly ordered a bunch of dishes. Especially the braised pork elbows specially ordered for Lu Xuan. The pile on the plate in front of her was bigger than her face.
big.
Lu Xuan and Gu Wuyou were obviously overly excited.
The two of them were "imagining the future" while eating wildly.
Shangguan Yi and Gu Pan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Gu Wuyou ordered all the so-called "hard dishes", mostly big fish and meat, with almost no vegetables. They really had no appetite.
Shangguan Yi: "It's all meat, I'm so worried."
Gu Pan: "Brother has suffered too much in the past."
Shangguan Yi: "I know it's not easy for him, but let's talk about it. Does his current appearance mean that a villain will succeed?"
Gu Pan glanced at Gu Wuyou, who was talking eloquently.
Shangguan Yi: "Look at his face. Those who didn't know better thought he had become a Taoist disciple. The nouveau riche is very annoying, and he is even more ruthless. He starts to run rampant before he breaks out. It's so shameful. Why is this guy mine?
fiancé?"
Gu Pan: "Looking at it from another angle, it shows that he is very confident."
"Pfft, where does he get the confidence?" Shangguan Yi said scornfully, "Even if he has excellent talent, the entrance examination never only looks at the talent foundation, otherwise why bother to take a direct test and be done."
Besides, lighting up six stars doesn’t mean it’s excellent.
As the granddaughter who received the invitation, Shangguan Yi knew very well that in the history of the Taoist Academy, there were many outstanding people who lit up seven or even eight stars, but were eliminated in the assessment.
Talent foundation is only one of the necessary conditions for cultivation.
Other factors are also important, such as character.
Historical experience proves that those who are super talented but not strong-willed will often end up with inferior achievements than monks who have average talent but work hard.
In addition, character is also very important. The sect does not want to waste resources to cultivate an evil person who will bring unreasonable disasters to the people of the world. In the end, it will have to spend energy to eliminate him.
Gu Wuyou's character... haha.
Shangguan Yi saw with his own eyes that he blackmailed someone not long ago.
What's even sadder is that the middle-aged man he blackmailed was the official responsible for registration. That person was not stupid, he would always react afterwards - maybe he understood it at the time, then he would definitely write it down on the registration materials.
Pen.
The comments made during registration will be an important reference during the assessment!
He extorted ten taels of pocket money from someone, and the price might be losing the opportunity to become a Taoist disciple, but he was still happy because of the loss.
To be continued...
