The work of the Hanlin Academy is not idle. Many ancient books need to be reorganized and compiled into volumes. Su Yun has loved reading since he was a child. Unfortunately, his family is poor and cannot afford many books.

Now that he has entered the Hanlin Academy, facing the vast mountain of books, he naturally does not want to waste any time, so he immerses himself in studying all day long. He was busy until noon, when a colleague came to urge him to have a meal with him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. .

The welfare benefits in Dongli Country are pretty good. Officials in the imperial court are provided with free lunch. Newbies like Su Yun, who are new to the workplace, also have meat, vegetables and soup.

Su Yun had breakfast outside every day, which was nothing more than two steamed cakes and a bowl of hot soup, which didn't cost much money. Lunch was taken care of at the Hanlin Academy, and he usually didn't have any other expenses. Even the gatherings of his colleagues, he didn't spend much money. go.

He had to save his salary carefully every month. He didn't want to owe Jiang Qingxue any money, let alone any favors from her. He wanted to pay off this debt as soon as possible.

He wanted to leave after eating.

His colleagues were unwilling to let him go, and looked at him meaningfully one by one.

"Hey, hey, brother Su, don't leave in a hurry, let's have a chat."

"We have heard that you have become a guest of Zuixian Tower now. When will you take your brothers to see the world?"

"Did you see Mrs. Jiang's true appearance? How is she doing? Is she as beautiful as a fairy? I heard that you were alone for almost half an hour. What did you say?"

"Why did I hear that Mrs. Jiang has a mole on her face, so she doesn't dare to show her true face to others? Brother Su, please tell me, is it true?"

Su Yun didn't expect that his visit to Zuixian Tower would become known to the world. He thought of the piece of paper Jiang Qingxue wrote to him again, and that strange feeling came out of his heart again, but there was a cloud on his face. Danfeng said lightly.

"I haven't seen her true appearance, but I think she must be extremely beautiful."

Jiang Qingxue's beauty is unique even in a harem filled with beauties. It's just a pity that such a beautiful woman is a widow.

……

Jiang Qingxue asked Xiao Fuzi to continue to monitor Su Yun's master and servant. Xiao Fuzi came back from time to time to report on the work. He was so meticulous that Su Yun had eaten a few cakes today. Yesterday, his colleagues introduced Su Yun to a blind date. There are only 500 Wen left in it.

Jiang Qingxue put down the elbow in her hand and wiped her mouth.

"You only have 500 coins in your pocket. Are you so poor?"

Xiao Fuzi felt pitiful when he saw it.

"Yes, you eat well and drink spicy food every day, but your dear husband eats pancakes and drinks cold water every day. He also walks to the Hanlin Academy every day. He bought a horse before but sold it to pay off his debt."

Jiang Qingxue rolled her eyes at Xiao Fuzi angrily.

"If you have soft food, you won't eat it, but you will eat hard pancakes. Who's to blame?"

Having said that, she still asked Xiao Fuzi to think of a way to send him some money, so as not to starve him into trouble. If he became a sick man, not only would it affect his experience, but he would also have to take care of him in the future.

So, as soon as Su Yun left the Hanlin Academy that day, he stepped on a hard object. When he raised his foot and looked, he saw that there was a lump of silver on the sole of his foot, a total of ten taels.

The book boy's eyes sparkled, he grabbed it in his hand and took a bite before saying.

"Sir, a silver ingot has fallen from the sky."

Su Yun looked around and said doubtfully.

"Did someone else drop it?"

The boy was afraid that he would be stupid again, so he held it in his hand and ran away.

"Anyone who can drop such a big silver ingot must be rich. You are the poorest in the whole capital. Let's fill up the Five Zang Temple first and then talk about other things."

Seeing that there was no one around, Su Yun smiled.

"Then take it first. If someone comes looking for it, then return it."

The master and servant walked through the market, from the roast duck stall to the roast chicken stall, then to the bun shop, and finally to the rice shop, where they bought a small bag of rice and some vegetables.

Xiao Fuzi followed and shook his head.

"Two idiots."

Su Yun and Shutong were reluctant to squander the ten taels of silver. His monthly salary was only ten taels. He had to save for two months without eating or drinking before he could repay Jiang Qingxue's debt.

Xiao Fuzi couldn't stand it anymore, and within two days, he threw another piece of gold into the yard where the two lived. He was afraid that the book boy wouldn't see it, so he deliberately threw it at his feet.

The book boy picked up the gold and ran into the house.

"Young Master, another pie has fallen from the sky. This time it's gold, and it's still twenty taels. Come and see, now you can pay Madam Jiang back."

Su Yun frowned, put down the book and walked into the yard.

"Where did you pick it up?"

The book boy's hands were shaking with excitement. He had never seen such a big gold in his life. If it were converted into silver, it would be two hundred taels.

"It's right here. Let me look for it again and see if there is anything else?"

Su Yun suddenly chuckled.

"Stop looking for it, come with me to Zuixian Tower."

Besides Jiang Qingxue and Xiao Fuzi, who else would throw gold into his yard, but Xiao Fuzi was young and didn't do it carefully enough.

The book boy scratched his head and said in hindsight.

"Master, are you saying that this gold was thrown away by Xiao Fuzi?"

Su Yun put her hands behind her back and held the gold in her palms.

"If I guessed correctly, he also threw away the ten taels of silver earlier."

The book boy's favorability towards Jiang Qingxue and Xiao Fuzi soared instantly, and he couldn't help but say good things about Jiang Qingxue in front of Su Yun.

"In that case, Mrs. Jiang is really generous and treats the young master very well..."

Su Yun had already entered the house. He opened the box and took out the two sets of clothes given by Jiang Qingxue. He had never worn these two sets of clothes. When he took the clothes, he inevitably saw the peach blossom note again. He hesitated for a moment and pressed the peach blossom note into the book.

On the way to Zuixian Tower, he passed by the street where the Taoist lay down. Suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he patted his forehead and said.

"Young master, that beautiful nun that the Taoist was talking about, the one who pities you and loves you, I know who it is. There are so many women who admire the young master, but only Mrs. Jiang is the most beautiful, and only she loves the young master the most. It's a pity, she is a widow……"

As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Su Yun's face darkened and she paused.

"Is it?"

The book boy didn't dare to speak anymore. He liked Lady Jiang very much. If Lady Jiang became the mistress of the Su family, he would also be able to enjoy the blessings. But the young master didn't like her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have even returned the clothes.

……

Jiang Qingxue was getting ready to take a nap when the boy went upstairs to deliver a message.

"Mrs. Boss, Mr. Su wants to see you."

Jiang Qingxue knew that once Su Yun had money, he would go to Zuixian Tower to find her, but she didn't expect Su Yun to come so quickly, and she was a little hesitant to see him.

Xiao Fuzi curled his lips.

"I saw that he not only had the money, but also the two sets of clothes. But the strange thing is that he still kept the letter you wrote."

A trace of astonishment flashed in Jiang Qingxue's eyes, but she didn't understand Su Yun's motives, so she decided to stimulate him again.

"not see."

The boy said yes and was about to leave when he heard Jiang Qingxue say.

"Prince Xie, please come up and have a drink."
