The capital is a melon field, I happily eat melons

Lin Mo and Bai Xiao were quite far away from each other, which showed that they were prudent and did not squat in front of others to eat the melons.

"An Lang, we haven't seen each other for so long, don't you miss me?" The eldest lady had finally gotten out and naturally didn't want to go back.

An Mi knew that the general was still somewhat dissatisfied with him. If the general knew that the two of them were meeting in secret, his impression of him would be even worse.

"Miss, the matter between us is not a matter of a moment. The Grand Marshal is still not satisfied with me. If he knew that we were meeting secretly, our relationship would be even more difficult. Besides, meeting secretly would not be good for your reputation either."

"Don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam this year. When the time comes, I will marry you in style and no one will look down on you."

An Mi also knew why the general set these requirements for him.

If his daughter grew up to be a noble and wealthy woman and fell in love with a poor scholar who had nothing, he would not want his daughter to be with this poor scholar.

Although he has made some money over the years, it is nothing compared to the high-ranking officials and their families.

The money he earns can support ordinary people to live for a lifetime, but for such a precious lady, the money he earns may not be as valuable as a set of headgear.

He also doesn't want his beloved to live a hard life with him in the future, so he will try his best.

"Hui Er, listen. You are the elder sister and you have to set a good example for your two younger sisters. If they knew about this, what if they also learned it? There are many bad men in the world. We love each other so I am willing to respect and love you, but no one can guarantee that the person they meet in the future will be a gentleman."

An Mi touched the eldest lady's head and spoke in an especially gentle tone.

Lin Mo was moved by what he heard. [This An Miren is really good. Although he loves money, he has a gentle and elegant temperament. He doesn't have a single trace of money smell at all. He is also a gentleman.]

Bai Xiao said while eating the candy in Lin Mo's pocket: "Of course not, this is someone I recognize, and there is a reason why he likes money. An Mi's parents died early, and he passed the imperial examination to become a scholar at a very early age. After passing the imperial examination, he has been copying books for others to make money."

[Later, he saved up his money bit by bit, and then came to Beijing. Anyway, this is a miserable person. If you live in a honey pot since childhood, then he lives in a Chinese medicine pot. This person was really miserable when he was young. ]

The people who were eavesdropping at the back were also moved. It's really not easy to grow up in such an environment and still be so decent.

The general sighed slightly. This boy is a good person, but he also has to think about his daughter.

His only requirement for this boy was to pass the imperial examination. As long as he could pass the imperial examination, he could help a little and make his daughter's life better.

If he can't even pass the imperial examination, then no matter how good this man is, he won't be willing to marry his daughter to him.

His daughter has been raised in luxury. She may not be as good as the princesses in the palace, but she is not much worse.

Maybe now she is blinded by her emotions and is willing to suffer with this boy, but in the future, this man and woman will be together for a lifetime. Although they can divorce in the future, who would want their daughter to bear the reputation of divorce for no reason?

No matter how unwilling the eldest lady was, An Mi still sent her back.

Lin Mo gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

Now that the melon had been eaten, Lin Mo immediately took Bai Xiao to the street to eat and drink.

By the way, they also set up a stall to tell fortunes. Their fortune-telling business is very good now, and some people even come to wait for them.

Bai Xiao also became the famous Master Bai.

"Hahahaha, I made so much money again today. Now I can understand why An Mi likes making money so much. It turns out that making money is really addictive."

Lin Mo looked at the money bag in his hand and smiled so hard that his back teeth were exposed.

All the money Bai Xiao earns is now with her. She is no longer a person who waits for pocket money every month. She now has a lot of private money (although this private money is earned by Bai Xiao).

And she also discovered that during this period, the monthly allowance her mother gave her had increased a lot, almost twice as much as before.

My mother said that she is old enough now and needs to dress up properly. She can also go out and buy some jewelry and clothes when she has nothing to do. Girls should not dress sloppily every day.

Lin Mo agreed verbally, but immediately spent the money on food.

Bai Xiao said while chewing on a candied haws: "When can we go out and play? It's boring to stay in the capital every day. Is there any big melon to eat recently?"

He found that the capital city was not as lively as before.

In the past, there were many cases of extramarital affairs and illegitimate children, with new gossip almost every day, but now these officials and wealthy businessmen are simply too quiet and too honest.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, "It will be the Queen's birthday in a while. Her birthday banquet is usually held in the palace outside. We should be able to go with her then. Then you can shrink and hide in my clothes, and I will take you to play!"

When Bai Xiao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Why hadn't he thought of this?

When they went to court the next day, the two of them started talking about what to do on the Queen's birthday.

Bai Xiao: [Let’s not talk about playing for now. Have you prepared your birthday present? You are not going to carve another wooden sculpture, are you?]

If a monkey wearing a crown is given to the emperor on his birthday, then a monkey wearing a phoenix crown would probably be given to the empress on her birthday!

Just thinking about it makes me feel a little scary and a little explosive!

At this moment, everyone present had the same idea as Bai Xiao, and the prince was even a little worried about his mother.

The monkey that his father gave him last time was given to him. He placed it in his study and looked at it every day when he felt tired.

What if the Queen Mother gives him this monkey again? Should he leave it with the Crown Princess?

Lin Mo chuckled. She had already prepared the gift. How could she give the same thing twice?

[You are underestimating me. I gave the emperor a wooden sculpture last time, so I can’t give him the same one this time. I carved a jade sculpture myself! I even hired a master to teach me, and he said I have a talent!]

Bai Xiao was silent for two seconds and then said: [But the last person who said you were talented was the one who played the suona, and then you played the suona at your own birthday party.]

Everyone present: ...

You're so talented it's a bit scary!
