Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

For ordinary people, every grain of food is precious. Soybeans are not delicious and can cause you to fart easily, but as long as they are edible, they are good things.

But now it’s different. With Qianji Pavilion’s secret recipe, soybeans have become a delicious food.

"There is also a secret recipe for straw paper. It only costs one or two taels of silver! And it can be made with straw!"

After this shout was uttered, the entire Suzaku Street was filled with thunder.

"It only costs one or two taels, and it's cheap. My son will be able to go to school in the future."

"Are there any other Mo Fang or other recipes in Qianji Pavilion?"

"Straw paper! We peasants can also sell straw paper in the future!"

·······

Words like these are all expressions of the aspirations of scholars.

Do ordinary people not want to go to school? That’s because they don’t have money.

In the Gyeonggi region, the monthly tuition for an ordinary private school is one kan of money, in addition to the food expenses, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, each of which costs money.

The big things are paper and ink.

It is a fantasy for children from ordinary families to go to school.

"Make way! Make way! I want to buy the recipe for toilet paper."

An excited man pushed forward. His son was praised by neighbors for his intelligence, but he had no money to send his son to school. If he could make paper himself, then he might as well grit his teeth...

"I want to make toilet paper, I want to sell toilet paper, I want to get rich!"

"There really is a Mo Fang. The simplest Mo Fang only costs one or two taels of silver."

····

Such noises filled Suzaku Street, and the crowd was rushing towards Qianji Pavilion like crazy.

Xu Jinyu glanced down and knew that if this continued there would be a stampede sooner or later, so she quickly called for Nanny He.

Nanny He nodded to Xu Jinyu: "Princess, don't worry, the guards are waiting outside and can come to maintain order at any time."

"Then go and notify them right away."

Teams of guards armed with sharp blades entered the Suzaku family. Without being called, the people suddenly quieted down.

Line up, enter Qianji Pavilion, and buy the secret recipe.

Zhuque Street is the largest street in the capital city. On weekdays, it is frequented by kings, nobles, and literati, but today, so many country people have come.

A young man shouted impatiently: "What are the people of Jingzhao Yin doing? Let these mud legs in."

As soon as he said this, the person next to him covered his mouth.

"Keep your voice down! Keep your voice down!"

The young man with his mouth covered impatiently pulled his hand off his mouth.

"Why do you want to keep your voice down, father..."

"Father, what father?"

A slap from behind hit the man's forehead at lightning speed.

The young man looked back and called out carefully, "Dad."

The man who came was the young man’s father, the newly appointed Jingzhao Yin Lei Xincheng.

Lei Xincheng looked at this troublesome son and said unhappily,

"What father? If I had come a step later, you would have lost your father."

"Also, from today on, I, your father, will be the new Jingzhao Yin. If I hear you scolding Jingzhao Yin again, I will beat you up first."

In other words, he just scolded his own father.

Lei Shou shrank his neck and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What about Uncle Shen Liuyun?"

"Shut up!"

Lei Xincheng yelled again, then turned to his son and whispered,

"From now on, it's just the criminal official Shen Liuyun, there's no Uncle Shen, remember?"

Lei Shou was startled by his father's yelling and nodded carefully to show that he understood.

Looking at his silly son, Lei Xincheng could only teach him patiently: "Shen Liuyun has been imprisoned because the Shen family committed a crime that implicated all nine generations of the Shen family."

"And the reason why the Shen family's affairs were exposed is that the Shen family wanted to steal the secret recipe of Qianji Pavilion."

"The owner of Qianji Pavilion is the Princess Tai'an, the eldest princess who was conferred the title of the Grand Princess by His Majesty a few days ago, so..."

"so····"

Lei Shou added stupidly, "The princess is very powerful. You want me to curry favor with her."

Lei Xincheng took a long breath. Why couldn’t his son understand what he was saying?

Because his youngest son was not reasonable, Lei Xincheng never told him that the princess had a magical artifact that could see everyone's private secrets.

Given his son's temperament, if he knew that Princess Tai'an had such ability, he might even approach her.

Just to know other people's secrets.

If you are not careful, your abnormality will be exposed in front of the princess.

And how did he come to this conclusion? I was clearly warning him.

To curry favor with the eldest princess would probably be like sending the Lei family to heaven!

Having served as an official for many years, Lei Xincheng dare not say that he is clean.

Lei Xincheng could only hold back his eager palm, close his eyes and keep reminding himself in his heart,

"My own child! My own child!"

"Madam went through so much hardship to give birth to me!"

"You can't beat them to death. We already have a pair of promising children. We can't expect all good things to fall on the Lei family."

"Let's just think of this little son as retribution for that promising pair of children, my retribution."

After opening his eyes, Lei Xincheng instructed his youngest son word by word: "Stay as far away from Princess Tai'an as possible."

"it is good!"

Lei Shou agreed very readily.

But why does Lei Xincheng feel a little uneasy?

After Lei Xincheng was done with his work, Lei Shou snorted coldly: "Humph! I don't believe it."

"Princess Tai'an is now the most favored princess. My father really despises me for not letting me get close to the princess."

"I will definitely marry Princess Tai'an and surprise my father."

"Ping'an, let's go to the store to help." Lei Shou directly called the servant behind him.

Ping An looked at his young master with a dull face, and a headache began to arise in his heart.

Here it comes, here it comes, the young master is going to make trouble again.

Every time the young master does something weird, it is refreshing.

Last time, he was mocked by his friends as a landlubber, and the young master almost took his gift of sacrifice to a fisherman to become his disciple.

If I hadn't seen the wrong situation and quickly stopped it, the third young master of the Lei family would now have a teacher of the lowest class.

That would make people in the capital laugh at us.

The servant was specially selected by Lei Xincheng for his son, with only one mission, to stop the young master from doing anything too outrageous.

"Master, the master has ordered you to stay away from Princess Tai'an."

"It's okay. Just listen to me."

Lei Shou put his hands behind his back, not caring about his father's order at all.

Ping An's eyes turned into dead fish eyes, and his tone was filled with determination.

"Master, don't push me!"

Lei Shou realized what Ping An was going to do and screamed, "Ping An, stop it!"

But it was too late.

Ping An came down the mountain like a hungry tiger and pounced on Lei Shou.

He hugged Lei Shou's thighs.

"Master, please don't! I don't want to be sold to Nanfeng Pavilion!"

"Master! Please!"

Even though Suzaku Street was bustling with people, there was a moment of silence when these words were suddenly heard.

Everyone's eyes were on the tug-of-war between the master and servant.

Look at Ping An with his honest face, and then look at Lei Shou who is obviously from a wealthy family.

"What kind of person is this? If the servant doesn't like him, he can just send him away. Why does he have to send him to Nanfeng Pavilion? Is that a place for decent people to go?"

"Besides, this servant is too big and strong, and Nanfeng Pavilion doesn't want him!"

Some people curled their lips and said disdainfully: "As expected of a wealthy family, they sell off their servants if they are not satisfied!"
