Chapter 18: A slight heat between the eyebrows, gaining six million spring and autumn energy

 "The books in Peach Blossom Academy are all authentic classics collected by the Master from the only copies in the world. The values ​​and principles contained in them are subtle and concise. Although the number of words is small, they are closer to the historical truth.

A small number of books overlap with Rongguo Mansion. I have already finished reading them in the collection room of Rongguo Mansion, and there is no longer any value in acquiring the spirit of Spring and Autumn.

It seems that I am reading less and less useless miscellaneous books! I am afraid that after I finish reading the books in Peach Blossom Academy in the future, there will be nothing of astonishing value in the world except for those few unique copies that have not been circulated.

Books are ready to read.

However, the inclusion of the Yuan Mysterious Codex and the Martial Arts Secret Code is of greater value. Maybe I can change from a mortal book to a cultivation book?"

It was only at this moment that Zhao Ning discovered that the benefits of reading miscellaneous books were also limited.

After reading all the miscellaneous books in the world, the benefits from reading will become extremely low.

It's just that by that time, Zhao Ning was almost qualified to obtain the Martial Arts Secret Code and the Yuan Mystery Code, so the problem of reduced income from reading miscellaneous books was harmless.

After Zhao Ning selected a few of the most valuable books, he sat in the collection room and started reading by himself, collecting the spirit of spring and autumn.

Reading so hard, I have forgotten the passage of time.

The sun has reached noon.

Because the ancients only ate two meals, breakfast and dinner, and did not eat after lunch.

Zhao Ning was able to have more time to study.

Suddenly, Zhao Ning's brows felt slightly warm, and a historical figure from the Spring and Autumn Scroll once again condensed out, leaping out of the long river of history, and came to him.

It was just that there were so many people here, so Zhao Ning kept silent and did not pay attention to this matter. Instead, he planned to go back to his house to rest in the evening and improve his talents in the dead of night.

It wasn't until nightfall that he put down his books and prepared to get a few books to borrow and go back to study.

After leaving the storage room, Zhao Ning returned to his Qiushui courtyard and met the maid Taohua who was waiting for his return.

Taohua, who was standing at the door, saw Zhao Ning returning, so she looked at Zhao Ning with a smile: "Second uncle, you are back? But you are hungry? I will go and heat some food for you."

The next moment, Taohua went to the kitchen to prepare Zhao Ning's dinner.

Tonight’s dinner is extremely sumptuous, including a bowl of shrimp ball and chicken skin soup, a bowl of steamed duck stuffed with wine, a plate of pickled rouge goose breast, a plate of four buttery pine pulp rolls, and a bowl of hot green rice stalks.

Rice, just by looking at this description, is enough to whet your appetite, and the color is beautiful. Rouge goose breast paired with green rice is delicious and delicious.

Even Zhao Ning, who was accustomed to being a simple person, was shocked by the scene created by Taohua. He looked at Taohua with a smile and asked: "Taohua, you did all these things by yourself?



Hearing this, Taohua pursed her lips and smiled, without showing her teeth, with a rosy face, and said: "Second uncle, you are really obsessed with reading. There are so many things that I really want to do, but it is also difficult.

I went out to inquire during the day today, and I found out that there are restaurants around Peach Blossom Academy. Therefore, there are often princes, nobles, and young masters from powerful families studying here. Not to mention the young master himself, there are also young boys and other people who study with their companions.

There are so many."

After Taohua finished speaking, she smiled again, "Over time, some businessmen smelled the smell of money and came here to open a restaurant to do business. Regarding this matter, the master of the academy did not expel or embarrass these businessmen. From then on, the second uncle

My food is finally settled."

Zhao Ning became silent after hearing this, looked at Taohua, and said, "Do you still have enough money in your hand?"

Taohua smiled and said, "The money is enough. Previously, the old lady was considerate of my second uncle's coming to study and earn a living, so she specially increased his monthly salary by a lot. One month is enough for living expenses of ten taels of silver. If you are more frugal, it will be enough."



Mentioning this matter, Taohua then remembered to tell Zhao Ning another thing:

"Second uncle, actually you had monthly money before, and you had extra monthly money when you were the guardian of the palace's treasure room.

Because the male master is outside and the female master is inside, the monthly money and money were all given to Second Grandma Ning, who will keep them on behalf of her uncle.

When she left Rongguo Mansion, Second Grandma Ning sent someone to give me all the monthly money she had saved, and also asked me to take good care of my second uncle's food and daily life."

After Taohua explained the matter clearly, Zhao Ning nodded and suddenly realized.

He thought that his monthly payment would be deducted just like when he was in Anguo Palace.

Now it seems that this is not the case, but a matter of concept.

In ancient society, women were housekeepers and the household belongings were basically taken care of by women.

Therefore, after Zhao Ning entered the Rongguo Mansion, all the money and monthly money naturally had to be handed over to his wife Yingchun to manage and save.

For a moment, Zhao Ning smiled hoarsely, feeling that he really didn't ask clearly, and instead made such a mistake, it was his own fault and confusion.

So, Zhao Ning picked up the chopsticks and took a bite first, feeling that it tasted good and must have been made by the chef.

When taking the second bite, Zhao Ning did not eat anymore, but looked at Taohua and said with a smile: "Taohua, go get another pair of clean chopsticks."

When Taohua heard this, she was confused: Didn't this second uncle have a pair of clean chopsticks in his hands? Why did he ask her to bring another pair of chopsticks?

However, Peach Blossom didn't say anything, she just nodded gently, "Yeah."

The next moment, Taohua went to the kitchen to get another pair of clean chopsticks and handed them to Zhao Ning.

After Zhao Ning took the chopsticks, he used the pair of chopsticks to select a fat and thin dish from the food on the table, placed it in front of Tao Hua, and said with a smile: "Today, your second master is giving you a bite to eat."

Seeing this, Taohua took a bite with a smile on her face, and then said: "Well, thank you second master for enjoying the food."

Zhao Ning then enjoyed the peach blossoms one after another and took a few bites of food before giving up on dinner.

When Zhao Ning went to rest at night, Taohua was already lying on the bed warming her bed.

Zhao Ning did not go to bed tonight, but stayed up late to read. He took out the books he borrowed from the library of Peach Blossom Academy in the evening and read them with gusto.

At the same time, he was also counting his gains during the day.

"Today during the day, I read a total of thirty-five ancient books of astonishing value in the library of Peach Blossom Academy, worth a total of six million Spring and Autumn Qi.

However, today I selected the thirty-five most valuable books from those miscellaneous books. I am afraid that when I read them again tomorrow, the income will be lower, and the income in the future will be even lower...

With 106 million Spring and Autumn Qi, it’s time to redeem it again for a historical talent.”

At this moment, Zhao Ning was deep in thought, "Who could this person be?"
