"You know my identity and you still want me to go to the Holy Gate. You are not trying to push me into a pit of fire." Ling Qiaoer's eyes were full of mockery.
"There are so many trees in the forest, why hang yourself on one tree? If you don't change the tree, how do you know which one will die more peacefully?"
Zhao An's sarcasm shocked Qiaoer, "You want to attack Chen Guogong?"
"I am just a little person. But he has no father and deceives the emperor. He will not be able to survive for long. If you get closer to the Holy Sect, there may be another way. If Chen Guogong asks you why you joined the literary society, you just say go How can he be harsh when an undercover agent shares his worries?"
After finishing speaking, Qiaoer's emotions were mixed.
She was forcibly possessed by Chen Guogong, and she once longed for the supreme authority of the harem. However, after the song "Autumn Eve" appeared in her ears, she realized her ending. After all, her mother's love for the world was a mirror.
"Consider this kick as something you owe me, and you will eventually have to pay it back in the future."
Zhao An rolled his eyes, grinned and ran away with his butt between his legs.
If there is an opportunity to pin Chen Guogong's women to the ground and conquer them, it would be a good thing.
Of course, Qiaoer must agree to it.
After leaving Hongxiu Zhai, she was grabbed by Luo Xiaoxiao after walking a few steps. She put her hands on her waist and said arrogantly: "You should learn new arithmetic and teach me."
"Don't teach."
Zhao An pretended to be arrogant and avoided people with a sullen face.
Luo Xiaoxiao was chattering beside her, clasping her hands together, with a flattering look on her face, "Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you. How about you tell me the truth and I can pay to learn it?"
"My exclusive secret is never revealed to anyone. Besides, we just met and I don't even know who you are."
Luo Xiaoxiao was stunned by the question, her big eyes rolled, and she forced Zhao An into Cuilan Garden and asked for a private room.
Zhao An couldn't bear it anymore.
Is she awesome?
This is Jiaofangsi!
The way the sluts in the hall looked at her just now made them want to ask her to accompany them.
"Oops, Mr. Zhou, is there another girl?"
When Xiu Sanniang came to deliver the wine, she curled her lips and looked like a madam.
Zhao An angrily threw ten taels of silver at her and told her to get out of here.
Luo Xiaoxiao said angrily: "My mother is right, the men in the capital are all big carrots."
Zhao An was not angry even after being scolded, and followed her words and asked, "Your mother?"
"Yes, this time we came to the capital to open a store, my mother gave us money to go out and see the world."
“Where did the menu come from?”
Zhao An calmly asked about the key. Luo Xiaoxiao hesitated and bit her lip without saying a word.
"I want to learn my skills, so I hide him from me and never see him again."
"Don't go, I say, but you must keep it a secret."
Luo Xiaoxiao grabbed the person, looked around and lowered her voice, "It comes from the palace. It is said to be a dish invented by a eunuch. Both the Queen Mother and the Emperor have eaten it."
"How did you get it?"
"Of course I bought it with money."
Luo Xiaoxiao's eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that she didn't mean what she said.
Zhao An can now confirm that it was the Queen Mother who gave it to them. It seems that they have to get her into a literary society and promote the emperor's poems through her mouth to be more convincing. Otherwise, how can the emperor's poems be scattered outside?
It was also a good opportunity to test Luo Qingshuang's attitude towards the emperor. If this girl refused to join the literary society and promote the emperor's articles, it meant that the old witch had no good intentions towards the empress.
"Hey, I answered the question, it's time for you to teach me, right?"
Luo Xiaoxiao complained dissatisfiedly.
Zhao An smiled and said, "I can teach, but the prerequisite is to join the literary club. If you want to study, you can go to Tianshui Academy."
"I hope you won't hide it secretly. In return, I won't charge you money when you go to Shenxianju to eat in the future."
"More than that, you have to kneel down and kowtow, which is considered a apprenticeship ceremony."
The old god Zhao An was here and his words made Luo Xiaoxiao explode. She pointed at her little pink face and widened her eyes, "You want me to kowtow to you?"
"That's right."
"Go to hell! Don't even think about it!"
Luo Xiaoxiao was angry, it didn't seem like he was cheating.
From this point of view, she has a noble status, and the Luo family's background is more exaggerated than expected. She is just a side relative. From what she has shown, it is obvious that the family has a mine...
No, there is an army at home!
Seeing Luo Xiaoxiao angrily about to leave, Zhao An suddenly raised his voice and said, "I have many methods, not only arithmetic, but also many dishes you don't know. I can even teach you how to make salt."
Luo Xiaoxiao's delicate body trembled, and she retreated in a flash, "Are you sure? Mineral salt can poison people, and most of the salt manufacturing business is in the hands of the Chen family."
"Kneel down, kowtow, and I will teach you right away."
Zhao An didn't believe that he couldn't figure out a little girl. If he captured her, he could follow Que'er's line and get a deeper understanding of the old woman.
Luo Xiaoxiao walked around twisting her little hands, still struggling.
Zhao An is not in a hurry. The method of making salt is not a joke. Without a strong background and knowledge, it is impossible to do it. She does not look stupid. If she dares to take it, it means that she is not afraid of Chen.
"Can I think about it?"
Luo Xiaoxiao scratched her head, looking cute.
Zhao An joked: "Are you going to ask your elders for their opinions?"
"That's right, taking this business is tantamount to going against Mr. Chen. How can I do that?"
"Ask quickly. After you've said it, go to Tianshuiyuan and tell me. Don't forget to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony."
"Shameless! No one accepts the apprenticeship ceremony, it's all a gift from the master to his disciples!"
Luo Xiaoxiao complained angrily and then rubbed oil on the soles of her feet.
Zhao An stood by the window and looked down at her figure, his mouth full of amusement.
What would the old witch choose?
After excluding farming, the rest of Daxia's tax revenue is salt and iron. With such huge benefits, it is impossible for her not to be tempted. As long as she takes the bait, she will confront Chen Guogong, and her hidden strength will be exposed.
Don't be afraid even if she accuses you, just say that it was unintentional, take a step back and give her money, it's reasonable.
Back at Tianshuiyuan, Queer was dancing a sword alone.
She changed into a simple and elegant long dress and tied up her hair. She felt as if she had suddenly grown a lot. With every attack, her long hair flew in the sun, as graceful as a dragon.
"You're back!"
When she saw the familiar person coming back, she immediately sheathed her sword, raised her face, and her eyes were shining.
Zhao Anpi complimented her on her martial arts prowess with a smile. She said nervously: "Sun Laoba just peeped, and Old Man Zhou beat him away. Who knows what tricks Chen wants to do?"
Sun Laoba...
Zhao An almost forgot about that guy. He was an unstable factor and a great threat and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
It's definitely not possible to rely on Jiuyin and Que'er to join forces alone. Old man Zhou Zhou must be asked to work together to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Now that Xu Ruqing has not come back, Zhao An pretends to chat casually about the immortal Juluo family siblings.
Que'er tilted her head, "Didn't you say you wanted to plot against them? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
