"Master! Give it to me!"

As soon as Bao Gossip came in, he handed the purse in his hand to Gu Yiyao with shining eyes, and then looked at Gu Yiyao as if asking for praise!

Gu Yiyao took it and looked at it:

"Haha! I can give up medicine and pursue literature!"

Everyone in the Gu family looked at Gu Yiyao with envy. This girl has been smart since she was young and can succeed in everything she does!

Seeing her studying medical books day after day, I didn't expect that she could sell a sketchbook for 100 taels!

You have to know that they have worked diligently and frugally in the past ten years and only saved 50 taels of silver!

It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!

Yang even came over with a sincere look:

"Girl, do you think it would be too late for me to start learning to read now and then find a drawing book?"

Gu Yulang immediately stopped him after hearing this:

"You think anyone can write a picture book whenever they want? Nonsense!"

What Gu Yulang was embarrassed to say was that he had once thought about writing a picture book to supplement his family income.

However, he had read thousands of books, but his writing was like a ghost. After two days of trying hard, he still couldn't write 100 words. Finally, he gave up in tears!

However, he was going to take this embarrassing thing into his coffin and would never tell anyone about it!

"Take this 10 taels of silver. If you work hard in the future, you will get more!"

Gu Yiyao was in a very good mood when she saw that the short story she wrote for the first time was so popular, and she was especially generous to Bao Gossip!

Master...Master, this...isn't this too much? Little one...little one..."

Bao Da Ting looked at the silver in Gu Yiyao's hand with shining eyes, and kept rubbing his hands together, as if he wanted to take it but was embarrassed.

"Hurry up! Otherwise I will regret it..."

The word "了" has not been finished yet.

Bao Da Ting used his invisible hand to take the silver from Gu Yiyao's hand!

"Thank you, my master! I will fight for you, even if it means risking my life, even if it means going through fire and water, or even if it means I will die!"

The gossiper held the silver with his mouth almost stretched to his ears, and his eyes were narrowed into a line due to laughing.

Gu Yubai looked at the gossiper in shock. He just earned 10 taels of silver!

He suddenly became eager to ask his niece if she needed a follower!

Bao Da Ting saw that Gu Yubai was staring at the silver in his hand, so he stuffed the silver into his sleeve nervously, making sure it would not fall out before he felt relieved.

"Master, it's getting late. I have to go back now, otherwise I will miss the carriage back to the capital."

Bao Da Ting looked at the sky outside and said to Gu Yiyao.

"Okay, keep an eye on them both when we get back."

Gu Yiyao knew that Bao Da Ting was worried about his wife and children at home, so she did not keep him.

"Oh, by the way, Master! Recently Luo Jiaojiao has been asking about you, and it seems that she wants you to treat her face. I noticed that she wears a veiled hat every time she goes out recently, and she nervously holds on to the hat when there is a slight breeze, as if she is afraid to show her face in front of people!"

Bao Da Ting is a very meticulous person, although the news from Luo Jiaojiao is strictly blocked.

But he still guessed from some clues why she was looking for her master.

"Ignore her!"

Gu Yiyao waved her hand and signaled him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Yang had already handed the prepared cakes to Bao Da Ting, asking him to eat them on the way and not to go hungry!

Bao Da Ting was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears!

He felt that his master's family did not treat him as a servant at all, and he felt respected by his master.

Bao Da Ting recalled the disdainful and condescending expressions on the faces of those nobles when they rewarded him with money.

Although he felt extremely humiliated at that time, he still kowtowed and thanked the Emperor for the sake of his livelihood!

But now when the master gave him silver, he didn't look down on him at all, and the master's family even kindly gave him dry food!

Bao Da Ting became more and more convinced that he had really met the noble person in his life!

It was already dark.

But the streets and alleys of the capital are still brightly lit and bustling with people. The noodle stalls are emitting billowing steam, making passers-by want to stay and have a bowl of noodles before leaving.

The owner of the steamed bun shop was also shouting out that his buns were thin in skin, thick in meat, and delicious. There were also people at the braised meat shop who wanted to weigh a few pounds of braised meat to satisfy their hunger!

Bao Da Ting looked at the bustling capital city. He always felt that the bustle of the capital city had nothing to do with him.

But now I suddenly find that I can also participate in it!

When Bao Da Ting came to the braised meat shop, his son often asked him eagerly when he would buy him braised chicken legs. He always coaxed his son and said he would buy them for him during the Chinese New Year.

But the family was always short of money, so there was no money to buy him such a precious meal as braised meat.

But now Bao Da Ting inexplicably has the courage to spend money, and he believes that he can earn more money in the future!

For some reason, Bao Gossip suddenly recalled the scene when Gu Yiyao first met him and she tilted her little face up and asked him to call her aunt!

A happy smile appeared on the gossiping man's face. Perhaps his life had undergone a drastic change that day!

"Hey! What a good day it is today, you're here to buy braised meat!"

I am quite familiar with the neighbors in this vicinity, and they all know the situation at home.

The whole family depends on him for their livelihood. He is usually very frugal and has never asked Bao to buy braised meat for them in two years!

"Hehe, isn't this because my wife is well again? I'm so happy. Pack me a roast chicken and a pound of beef!"

The gossiper's face is full of happiness, he has money on him and speaks generously!

The owner of the braised meat shop was stunned and looked at him in astonishment. Then he touched the gossiper's head and muttered:

"You're not sick!"

When Bao Da Ting heard this, he was very upset:

"Go away! Don't curse me. I'm in perfect health and can live another 500 years!"

"Then why did you buy so much braised meat? It's like you'll have nothing to lose tomorrow if you eat it today!"

The owner of the braised meat shop saw that he was indeed not sick, and his face was full of confusion. Suddenly, he suddenly realized something and shouted:

"I'm telling you, neighbors are neighbors, friendship is friendship, money is money, I never buy on credit!"

"Look at your useless appearance. Here you go! Hurry up! My wife is still waiting for me at home!"

Bao Dating immediately took out 150 coins and threw them to the boss. A roast chicken was 80 coins, and a pound of braised beef was 70 coins. He already knew the prices of these braised meats by heart!

Whenever he was drooling with greed, he would silently count the prices of the braised meats in his mind, and he would no longer be greedy!

A pound of brown rice costs 5 cents, and one roast chicken can buy 16 pounds of brown rice, which is enough for their whole family to eat for half a month!

I really don’t dare to be greedy!

The owner of the braised meat shop took the copper coins and counted them carefully, then quickly put the copper coins into his pocket. As if afraid that Bao Dating would regret it, he quickly wrapped the meat with oil paper for Bao Dating, then smiled very flatteringly and said to Bao Dating:

"Brother! I didn't recognize the real thing! Take it! Come often, brother!"
