Only when you travel quickly can you avoid being a stepping stone for the protagonist.

"Hmph, I will definitely pass the imperial examination and get rid of her from now on."

But he didn't take out his books and start working hard. Instead, he took out a pen and paper and was writing and drawing something unknown. He was still muttering: "Today is the day to get money..." and so on.

Until night, he did not touch the books on the desk. If you look carefully, you can find that there is even a thin layer of fine dust on the desk. It can be seen that the talk of passing the imperial examination is just to deceive himself.

"It's really strange." Shen Tianchen frowned and looked at the darkening sky outside.

It stands to reason that he should be given money today. Why are the servants of Nanfu and that man nowhere to be seen?

Could it be that something was delayed?

The option of not supporting him, a white-eyed wolf, didn't even come to his mind.

Shen Tianchen had no choice but to finish dinner in a hurry, otherwise he originally wanted to wait until Nan Qian came to give money and show that he had not eaten until he studied, so that she would take him to the town for a big meal.

He does this often.

After he finished eating, he went directly to bed without any effort at all.

Even though it was dark, Nanfu also prepared a lot of excellent quality candles for him, but he only used these good things elsewhere.

I won't give her a good look tomorrow because she is actually late.

Shen Tianchen thought angrily, and then fell asleep.

Nan Qian was eating in her garden at this time.

Home garden!

Nan Qian happily admired these flowers and plants, and was satisfied with the arrangement of this world more than once. It is a beautiful thing to be a landowner who just waits for death and enjoys life without working hard.

Ah, it's nice to have money.

Swish.

A figure passed through the grass and made a sound, like some medium-sized small animal.

oh? Are there any animals in this garden?

Nan Qian chased after him with great interest until he saw a red fox on a tree. It was looking at Nan Qian with wet black eyes.

Its hair was shiny and shiny, and the whole fox was clean. It looked like it was well-maintained. Nan Qian was even more sure that this was an animal raised by the manor himself.

Nan Qian's hands itched and her heart itched. She wanted to touch the fox, but she didn't know how to get it down.

So Nan Qian used a universal method to amuse canines.

She stretched out her hand to beckon the fox to come down, and kept making "hehehehe" sounds from her mouth.

The fox moved and actually jumped down from the tree and came to Nan Qian's feet.

Look, no dog...ah no, canines can say no to "sniffing".

The fox wagged its tail and nuzzled Nan Qian, acting coquettishly. Seeing that it was very well-behaved, Nan Qian hugged it directly.

"Oh, this fox is so good. When the time comes, ask Xiaohua and the others what the fox's name is." Nan Qian touched the soft fur and said to herself to the fox.

The fox snorted "嘤嘤嘤" and lay in Nan Qian's arms.

Oh, he is still a coquettish person.

He hugged it and left the garden.

"Miss? Where did you pick up the fox? We don't have any animals in our house." Xiaohua expressed doubts and looked at the fox in the lady's arms, a little worried that it would hurt her lady.

"That's right, but it's so clean and doesn't look like it's ownerless." Nan Qian wasn't too worried about the fox hurting her.

"Forget it, let's keep it for now. It's not like the left and right mansions can't afford it. If the owner comes to visit us then, we can return it to them."

"Okay lady."

Nan Qian wanted to hand the fox into Xiaohua's hands, but the fox refused to leave Nan Qian's arms and started acting coquettishly again, making "嘤嘤" sounds.

"Forget it, let it stay in my room." Seeing that it refused, Nan Qian did not force it.

"It's just that you need to take a shower before you can sleep on my bed." Nan Qian looked at the fox and said.

Then he handed the fox to Xiaohua: "Let the servants help it take a bath."

This time it was much easier to put it into Xiaohua's hands. I don't know if she understood it or what happened.

Anyway, when Nan Qian went back to her room to sleep, there was a furry bed-warming animal under the quilt. After taking a bath, its fur looked even more fluffy, especially its big furry tail, which was dangling happily.

Nan Qian stroked it hard and put it into her arms. It also behaved obediently and made no more movements. It just purred comfortably from its belly.

Listening to the sound, Nan Qian quickly fell asleep.

In the quiet night, the soft white moonlight shines into the house through the window, reflecting the figures of the two people on the bed.

The woman in the room was sleeping soundly, while a man was lying on her side. He was not asleep yet. He raised his slender hand and caressed the woman's face, and then smiled.

This man looked human but not human. The two animal ears on his head twitched cleverly twice with his smile, and the furry tail behind him spread out on the bed, covering the two of them.

"It's not a good thing to be haunted by the fox fairy... But I like you very much. I liked you the first time I saw you. I really don't know what spell you cast on me." He picked up the woman's hair and gently Play with it gently.

"So there is no other way, you have no choice but to get stuck with me."

The woman was unconscious and immersed in her sleep.

…………

Shen Tianchen has been very anxious recently. It has been several days and there has been no movement from Nanfu, and his money has almost been spent.

If you don't give him money, he will have an "elegance" with the literati tomorrow. If he has no money to pay, how embarrassing will it be for him in front of his friends?

He couldn't sit still anymore and planned to set off to Nanfu to ask questions. He avoided the crowds along the way and took a detour to Nanfu.

But I still met someone I knew on the road, and she was also Aunt Sun, the loudspeaker in the village.

"Oh, Scholar Shen, how come I see you here? Are you going to the landlord's house in the south?" Aunt Sun greeted Shen Tianchen, and Shen Tianchen couldn't even pretend not to see it.

He nodded slightly to Aunt Sun and answered her: "Yes, Landlord Nan has something to do with me."

After saying that, he still looked reluctant.

Aunt Sun nodded sympathetically and said eloquently: "Sister Shen, you can actually consider Landlord Nan. Although she is illiterate, the girls around us are like this. At least she still has feelings for you, and her family is rich. You don’t have to worry about anything when you study.”

The more Aunt Sun talked, the more she felt something was wrong. It seemed like Scholar Shen was taking advantage of him?

Shen Tianchen hurriedly retorted: "I have no feelings for her at all. Youdao is a strong-willed melon, and besides, I need a gentle and virtuous wife who understands what I'm talking about. I don't want to be around me in the future. Same lecture."

There was no focus at all, and most of the questions raised by Aunt Sun were not answered. However, Aunt Sun didn't understand it because it was so formal, so she just fooled her.

Aunt Sun nodded awkwardly and left.
