Chapter 063(1/2)

Since his parents died, Gu Pan has been living in Shangguan Mansion.

But it’s definitely not like relying on others, because with Shangguan Yun’s special care and Shangguan Yi’s good friend, Gu Pan is well taken care of, and his treatment is no different from Shangguan Yi. It is inevitable to have strange eyes, but it is impossible to work with your own hands.

.

Middle-earth women, especially those from wealthy families, have to practice female prostitutes from an early age.

In Lu Xuan's view, this is a typical case of inequality between men and women in the feudal era: Why can men travel around the world and make money to support their families, while women must stay at home and practice needlework, and have to take care of their husbands and raise children after they get married?

This adventurer expressed dissatisfaction.

What Lu Xuan doesn't understand is that for Chinese women, prostitutes are also a kind of pastime and entertainment in a sense.

After all, Middle-earth is a world seriously lacking in entertainment activities.

However, Gu Pan will not be a popular girl.

Because Shangguan Yi didn't have the patience to embroider a little bit, and couldn't bear to see Gu Pan sitting there practicing her needlework, she would definitely find a way to sabotage it. After going back and forth, Gu Pan finally became a black man and gave up.

At this moment, when Gu Wuyou asked questions, Gu Pan suddenly realized that she didn't even have the ability to support herself!

Gu Pan's eyes turned red and tears almost fell.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Gu Wuyou said quickly, "I'm a weirdo who loves to joke. This is a problem I picked up from being in the world."

If it weren't for the joy of hardship, the master and the apprentice would joke and ridicule each other. Gu Wuyou would never have been able to persist in the miserable life of the first ten years. This is why Gu Wuyou often called Comte "old master" instead of master.

It seems that there is no distinction between superior and inferior, unlike Lu Xuan's impression of traditional Taoist masters and disciples.

Gu Pan: "I'm really useless..."

"I don't blame you, you were led astray by Shangguan Yi." Gu Wuyou waved his hand, "Besides, our family was once the richest man in Sanjiang County. Now you have a brother who is a monk, so there is no need to learn a craft to support yourself.

Woolen cloth."

Gu Pan was not convinced: "But if I can't make money to make a living, I won't be able to practice with peace of mind."

Gu Wuyou: "We have money."

Gu Pan: "You mean, put the banknotes at Yi'er's place?"

Gu Wuyou shook his head: "Far water can't quench the near thirst. Besides, if you live alone at the foot of the mountain and have so much wealth in your hands, wouldn't I be even more worried if someone targets you?"

Gu Pan was told by Gu Wuyou that he was confused.

"Senior Sister Jingru." Gu Wuyou bowed to Jingru and saluted, "Jianghu is helping me in this emergency. I will lend you a sum of money from my little brother and I will pay you back double in the future."

Gu Pan suddenly realized that he was plotting against Jingru.

Jingru flipped her hand and took out a banknote from the storage ring, flicked it, and the banknote fell accurately into Gu Wuyou's hand: "It's for you, you don't have to pay it back."

"That can't be done. If you borrow something, you'll pay it back. Borrow it again...hiss, so much!"

The amount on the banknote was astonishingly - ten thousand taels!

Jingru said calmly: "Money is something external to the body. As a person who is about to become a monk, you shouldn't be so shocked."

Gu Wuyou: "Is it from the sect?"

It's right to think about it. It is said that the monthly salary of Taihao Taoist Academy is as high as five thousand taels, and the students of Taoist Academy are only equal to the outer disciples of Taihao Sect. So Jingru is a serious monk, so naturally he is considered an inner disciple of Miaoyin Sect.

The monthly average of inner disciples is definitely higher than that of outer disciples.

Although Miaoyin Sect cannot compare with Taihao Sect, people have said that money is something external to monks.

Unexpectedly, Jingru shook her head: "The sect doesn't give out money."

"ah?"

Jingru: "How many times do you have to say it before you can remember it? Monks don't care about money and have no need to spend money. There is no point in giving out money. The sect's monthly rules are elixirs, spiritual stones, and weapon refining materials."

"Understood." Gu Wuyou blinked, "Let me guess, pills are not silver, but they are much more valuable than silver. Just take out one and you can exchange it for a lot of money! Senior Sister Jingru's banknote

, I exchanged it for the elixir, right?"

Jingru opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

Gu Wuyou: "Did I guess wrong?"

"Nonsense!" Jingru finally lost her composure, "I don't need to spend money, so why should I exchange elixirs for money?"

Gu Wuyou: "Do you feel particularly safe in your arms?"

Jingru: "These ten thousand taels of silver notes were given to me by my family as pocket money when I went to the mountain to become a disciple."

This time it was Gu Wuyou who was dumbfounded.

Ten thousand taels...pocket money?

Well, we don’t understand the world of rich people. Gu Wuyou angrily handed the banknote back to Jingru: "There are too many. Xiaopan doesn't fit it properly and can't spend it."

Jingru took back the banknotes, spread her hands and said, "I don't have any smaller amounts here. The remaining ones are all one hundred thousand taels."

"One hundred thousand taels, how many more!" Gu Wuyou exclaimed.

Jingru took a step back: "If you like to continue to make such a fuss, please do it yourself, but please stay away from me. This monk cannot afford to embarrass anyone."

Gu Wuyou touched his nose and laughed.

No need to ask, it's already obvious that Jingru comes from a wealthy family.

Thinking about it, it's actually very commendable. Jingru, who came from a wealthy family, is actually quite sympathetic. At least until now, Gu Wuyou thinks she is better than Yingying.

The problem now is that Gu Pan's living funds have not yet been resolved.

Gu Wuyou originally thought that since the monk was not short of money and Jingru had taken the initiative to give him some money before, it would be appropriate to borrow some money from her - it was not like he would not pay it back anyway. However, he never expected that Master Yuqing would give him money casually.

A disciple came down from the mountain, and he was a super rich man who came from a family and started with a pocket money of ten thousand taels.

Huh? That Master who likes "hehehe", can't he do it on purpose?

Ordinarily it is not possible, but Gu Wuyou is not a pure rookie. It is said that his cultivation level is high enough, and he even has the ability to predict the future.

Gu Pan said: "I see there is an inn and restaurant in the town. How about I go do some odd jobs and serve people tea and meals?"

Gu Wuyou flatly rejected: "No."

"I can work, but I can learn slowly if I don't." Gu Pan paused, "Unless I think I am embarrassing you by doing odd jobs."

"It's not a matter of shame or shame. I can't even take care of my own sister, so why should I save an old... uh, what kind of monk should I be and what kind of cultivation should I do?"

At this time Jingru said: "Come with me."

Huh? Where to go?

Jingru didn't explain that he should go in a certain direction first.

The brother and sister looked at each other and followed.

The three of them came to the door of an inn. Gu Wuyou asked, could it be that Senior Sister Jingru thought Xiao Pan had a good idea and really planned to let her do odd jobs?

Walking into the inn, Jingru walked straight to the counter.

The shopkeeper was immersed in calculating the accounts. When he felt the light dimming, he raised his head and his expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly ran out from behind the counter and fell to his knees with a plop: "Young man, Sun Gui, meet you, young lady!"

Jingru nodded: "Stand up and speak."

"Yes." Sun Gui stood up and bowed his head respectfully.

Jingru: "Is my dad okay?"

Sun Gui: "It's all thanks to the elixir specially refined by the young lady. The master of the family is strong in body and very strong in spirit."

"Yeah." Jingru said calmly.

Gu Wuyou felt that she seemed to be asking casually. To be more precise, asking about her father's condition was just following etiquette. She actually didn't care about the answer.

"Get it for me..." Jingru turned around and looked at Gu Wuyou, "One thousand taels?"

Gu Wuyou: "Farewell, it's only one hundred taels."

Jingru: "Take one hundred taels of silver. Well, don't take a whole piece, but break the silver into pieces."

Sun Gui didn't ask any further questions. He agreed and walked directly back to the counter. He quickly took out about a hundred taels of broken silver, wrapped it in a cloth and handed it to Jingru respectfully.

Jingru took the bag and turned around: "Let's go."

Sun Guigong sent the three of them out of the inn. He didn't let out a long sigh of relief until he was sure they were far away. The guys next to him crowded around and started chatting.

"Shopkeeper, was that our lady just now?"

"I've been working in the store for three years, and this is the first time I've met a young lady."

"As expected, you are a monk. Your aura is too strong. I am not afraid of your jokes. Just now, my legs were weak and I almost peed my pants."

"Haha, can you be a good boy?"

Sun Gui glared: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense! Liu San'er, if you really... then, even if the young lady is not as knowledgeable as you, I will beat you to death."

The monks are not ordinary people. Just because they are far away does not mean that they cannot hear the noise in the inn.

Liu San'er shrank his neck: "The villain is wrong."

Sun Gui said sternly: "You are no longer a mortal when you become a monk. Miss usually doesn't have time to go down the mountain. The elixir that the master of the house takes was refined by Miss five years ago. Miss looks very kind, but if you piss her off
