My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

She raised the mirror nervously but was shocked by the scene in front of her. The girl in the mirror had red lips and white teeth, willow-shaped eyebrows of the same length, a pair of phoenix eyes, gray-blue pupils as bright as the stars, a high nose bridge but very soft lines, and a slightly upturned lip that looked like she was smiling. At first glance, she was a sunny and cheerful girl.

Wan Sutong couldn't help but touch her face. "I am still so beautiful. No wonder Zhao Jinghua didn't kill me when he saw me saying something wrong."

The system was speechless for a moment. "Host, you are such a dramatic and narcissistic person. This system thought I looked different from you!"

Wan Sutong coughed awkwardly and said, "It doesn't matter." Then, after hearing footsteps, she put the mirror under the pillow.

As expected, Wan Yanzhong opened the door and walked in. "Nannan, don't worry about tomorrow's food. The eldest master sent a lamb leg and some wild fruits." After saying that, three wild fruits the size of a baby's fist appeared. Wan Sutong took the wild fruits in a daze. "Wan Yanzhong was transformed from the spiritual sea. As the level of cultivation increases, the spiritual sea will also grow accordingly~"

Wan Sutong smiled at Wan Yanzhong and talked to the system at the same time, "How can I buy things from you without being discovered?"

"Yes." At this time, Wan Sutong saw the sadness in Wan Yanzhong's eyes. "Dad, are you worried about the people in the city?"

Wan Yanzhong sighed and said, "It will take at least half a month for the imperial court's food to arrive. During this period, the people may not be able to survive."

Wan Sutong frowned slightly. Perhaps he could help. "What about the silver?"

Wan Yanzhong sighed heavily. "What's the use of silver? There is no food in the city. The surrounding cities have long known the situation of Nanling City and will definitely take advantage of it. I'm afraid that even if I buy food with a hundred taels of silver, it may not be enough for the people in the city to eat for three days."

Wan Sutong giggled and said, "Daddy, you go back first. I'll take care of everything while your daughter is away." Wan Yanzhong sighed and looked at his daughter's confident look. He could only try his luck.

After sending Wan Yanzhong away, Wan Sutong began to calculate that one dou of rice, eighteen catties, was worth twenty-five points, but he could only exchange it for two hundred and seventy catties. "How many points are there for system silver?"

As soon as the voice fell, the system slowly said, "One copper coin is five points, one ounce of silver is five thousand points, and one ounce of gold is fifty thousand points."

Wan Sutong frowned after hearing this. "Isn't this equal to one dou of rice and five copper coins?" Wan Sutong pondered for a moment and began to calculate. "One tael of silver is two hundred dou of rice. According to the population... there are thirty carriages today, and each carriage can hold eight to nine people. Even if each person eats one jin a day, it will take at least five hundred dou of rice a month." At this moment, she suddenly thought of Zhao Jinghua. As the son of the prince, he must be very rich. She must find an opportunity to get along with him and try to get some benefits. Thinking of this, Wan Sutong showed an evil smile.

He picked up the wild fruit and took a bite, and then his eyes instantly lit up. He didn't expect that this wild fruit looked similar to an apple, but it tasted sweeter than an apple!

Wan Sutong was not full to begin with, and soon she finished all three wild fruits. After she was full, she felt that the clouds in front of her were not pleasing to the eye. After a while, Wan Sutong raised her hand and grabbed the system and kneaded it, "Host, what are you going to do!" Wan Sutong did not answer and finally kneaded the system into the shape of a gingerbread man. The system tried to move its arms, and then found that its head could also move. It was instantly ecstatic, "Great!"

Wan Sutong nodded and said, "It looks much better now. Otherwise, I can't tell whether you are nodding or shaking your head."

The system stood on Wan Sutong's shoulder excitedly and said, "Thank you, host."

Wan Sutong held her chin with her left hand, her thoughts drifting away. She was a little homesick in this unfamiliar place, and she didn't know how her mother was doing. After a moment, Wan Sutong shook her head to interrupt her thoughts, then turned her head to look at the system, "System, do you know where Zhao Jinghua is?"

The system nodded. "He is in the military camp 500 meters outside the city, roasting mutton for the soldiers."

Wan Sutong smiled and said, "Give me a set of men's clothing."

At this time, Zhao Jinghua was half-kneeling on the ground, using his spiritual power to constantly control the fire under the grill. Zhao Jinghua used the blazing fire in his martial arts, so it only took a short time to roast a sheep. Zhao Jinghua looked up at the soldiers around him who were already drooling, smiled, then withdrew his spiritual power, and the fire on the grill went out. "Okay, come here," he stood up and stepped aside.

The soldier looked at Zhao Jinghua and signaled to wait until he finished taking the meat before moving forward, but Zhao Jinghua shook his head. Seeing this, the soldiers rushed forward and soon there was no meat left from the three sheep.

The soldiers praised the food highly. Although each person only had a palm-sized piece of mutton, which was only enough to satisfy their appetite but not to fill their stomach, fortunately, the soldiers had already finished their lunch.

Zhao Jinghua sighed and decided to go outside the camp to take a look. At this time, the black horse came back again, but it was covered with yellow mud. After seeing Zhao Jinghua, it neighed twice, and then seemed to be looking for someone. When it saw the deputy general who was eating roasted goat meat, it ran over.

Zhao Jinghua looked back and saw the deputy general being chased around by the black horse, saying, "I won't touch it anymore! I was wrong! I haven't finished eating yet. If you want revenge, wait until I finish eating! Okay!"

Zhao Jinghua sneered and watched this farce with the soldiers. The deputy general was chased by the black horse and ran around the military camp for a long circle. When he saw Zhao Jinghua, he quickly hid behind him and spoke breathlessly, "I was wrong, General, please help me."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and touched the black horse's neck. "Okay, stop making trouble."

The black horse whinnied and rubbed Zhao Jinghua with its clean face. Zhao Jinghua sighed and said, "I'll take you to the river to take a bath." He looked at the deputy general and smiled apologetically, "Sorry," and then led the black horse towards the river.

The deputy general sighed, "Everything really has a soul."

When they arrived at the river, the black horse lay in the river all of a sudden, then looked at Zhao Jinghua. Zhao Jinghua chuckled, understanding that he was being asked to pass. Zhao Jinghua raised his hand and took off his misty blue cloak, revealing that he was still wearing a silver-white gown underneath. Zhao Jinghua walked into the river, bent down and began to bathe the black horse. After an incense stick of time, Zhao Jinghua walked out of the river. His shoes, socks and clothes were already soaked by the river water, but Zhao Jinghua just raised his hand slightly, and in an instant, the originally heavy clothes fluttered in the wind again, and his shoes and socks were completely dry, as if they had been worn after being exposed to the sun.

Seeing the horse's expectant eyes, Zhao Jinghua raised his hand to remove the river water from the horse's body. He put on the cloak on the ground, and after getting dressed, he slowly said, "How about you call me Linfeng from now on?" The horse nodded, as if agreeing to be called this name.

Wan Sutong followed the system's instructions and came to the riverside. She saw a black horse standing next to Zhao Jinghua, which was in perfect harmony with his current aura. Wan Sutong slowly walked over and bowed, saying, "Greetings, young master."

Zhao Jinghua looked up and chuckled when he saw Wan Sutong's attire. Wan Sutong was wearing a dark green cloak and her hair was half tied up with a headband. She really looked like a young master from a wealthy family. "So it's Master Su. What brings you here?"

Wan Sutong raised her head and didn't expect Zhao Jinghua to cooperate with her. "I see that the people in the city are hungry, so I want to ask you to help me."

Zhao Jinghua walked towards the military camp and said, "Since that's the case, please follow me to the military camp to discuss in detail."

Wan Sutong quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, sir, for giving me this opportunity."

Zhao Jinghua sighed and said, "No need to do that. I should also do something for the people in distress. However, my army only has enough food for three days."

Wan Sutong shook his head and said, "I'm not borrowing food, I just want to borrow some silver from you."

Zhao Jinghua nodded and said, "Mr. Su, how much silver do you need? I went to the battle in a hurry, and I brought a total of 50 taels of gold and 30 taels of silver." Wan Sutong was very shocked after hearing this and asked in his heart, "You call this hasty? That's 50 taels of gold!"
