After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Young Master Xu smiled, his eyes were free and unrestrained, "Why, you don't want to?"

He took a fan that was used to fan the stove and found it in some corner, and wanted to exchange it for a fan made of animal bones or white jade. The fan surface also had to be painted and inscribed by famous artists. The requirements were really high. This guy was able to live safely to this age without being beaten to death. In the end, it was because the people in Shengjing were simple and kind. Yuan Ge shook his head repeatedly, not wanting to pay attention to this shameless thing at all. He glanced at the candle that had been burned out in the room and pouted, "Why don't you leave? Are you waiting to eat ashes here?"

Xu Chengjin looks carefree, but he is actually very difficult to serve. He hates dust and dirt the most. But now he refuses to leave just to get the fan, which is really hard for him.

Yuan Ge waved his hand and walked out of the door. Xu Chengjin, who followed closely behind him, flattered his face and smiled, saying, "Just agree to it, just agree to it. You have so many treasures in your hand, and Song Wenyuan is a rich man. As a young master, I have nothing. My mother doesn't love me, and my father doesn't care about me. Now I have followed you for such a long time, but I don't earn a penny. But the monthly allowance for that family's food, drink, defecation, and urination is counting on me..." This was the first time in Xu Chengjin's life that he cried poor, and it was obvious that he had tried his best.

Yuan Ge stumbled and looked back at Xu Chengjin in disbelief. How shameless must the eldest son of the Xu family be to say such a thing? It was true that his mother didn't love him and his father didn't care about him, but the Xu family had a sense of dignity and had never treated Xu Chengjin harshly in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses. Moreover, in the past two years, Young Master Xu had made money on his own and was doing whatever he wanted. He no longer needed to rely on the Xu family. Otherwise, his father would not have been so determined to have this son inherit the Xu family business.

This is shameless...

"Okay..." Yuan Ge was too lazy to pay attention to him and agreed, "Okay, when we get back to Shengjing, I'll help you find a good fan. It will definitely be better than all the fans you've had before!"

Xu Chengjin instantly felt fulfilled, and he followed Yuan Ge step by step with a grin. The fan that was covered in dust and that he had always despised seemed to be much more appealing to him now. He took a look at it, then opened it again, and fanned it with every step he took. After two more steps, he closed it again with a flick of his wrist… It wasn’t a famous painting at all. The little girl herself had forgotten. She didn’t know why she said she wanted to learn painting that year, and she actually studied it seriously for a while.

Apart from other things, this girl learns things really fast. She learns everything fast, which is really a bit infuriating. After studying for more than a month, she was able to imitate a painting quite well. But not long after, she seemed to have lost interest and stopped studying. Painting was also abandoned. Perhaps even she almost forgot that there was such a past when she neglected food and sleep. This fan was also forgotten in the corner. Occasionally, it was given to the old man to fan the fire while boiling medicine, but he thought it was not useful.

Xu Chengjin patted the dust off the fan, then carefully put it back in his arms, hurried forward and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Next..." Yuan Ge didn't notice the other party's strange movements. He just put his hands behind his back and lowered his head to think about this question. "Although there are always some conflicts between him and me, he doesn't like me and I don't like him, but no matter what, I at least respected him... I want to ask him why he did this, and I also want to ask him... whether my fall off the cliff was an accident. I want to hear it from his own mouth."

Because of her mother, Yuan Ge wanted to hear the other party's explanation in person. Even if he evaded the question, his words were not clear enough, even if he was hysterical or even ended up parting on bad terms, she still wanted to ask.

"I'll accompany you." Xu Chengjin nodded, not surprised. "With your current status, you are not in a position to ask those questions. It's always more convenient to have me here."

……

Xu Chengjin and Xi Ni have always been the best at it.

Not long after dinner, Master Xu, along with his maid Shiyin and Wen Qian, the third young master's wife of the Bo Mansion, came to Zhan Yanfeng's yard. In his words, "It is said that you should not hit someone who smiles at you. It is always right to be nice." After that, he advised Yuan Ge earnestly, "You have suffered from this since you were a child!"

Yuan Ge, who had suffered losses since childhood, discovered that the fan in Master Xu's hand had been replaced with a new one. The fan was made of jade and silk, with a landscape painting embroidered on both sides. It was obviously priceless - this was truly in line with Master Xu's identity of "having nothing".

Xu Chengjin fanned himself with a fan, put on a whitewashing expression, and swaggered into Zhan Yanfeng's yard. Before he saw anyone, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Third Elder? Is the Third Elder here? Third Elder?"

The long tail tone sounded particularly noisy. The Third Elder did not show up, but the steward came out trotting all the way. He looked at Xu Chengjin as if he saw an uninvited guest who was giving him a headache, and lamented repeatedly, "Oh, Master Nanyin...it's you! The Third Master is reading in the room. The Third Master likes quietness when he reads. Please speak more quietly, I can hear you, I can hear you..."

"Can you hear me?" Xu Chengjin asked with his eyes narrowed and a smile on his face, "It seems that you are still strong and healthy after all these years since I left the mountain."

"Of course, of course, it's all thanks to you!" With your voice, anyone who is not deaf can hear you. The manager smiled with his eyes narrowed, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Young Master Xu was a person who never paid attention to others' expressions. Hearing this, he laughed and accepted everything. He even took the steward's arm and walked towards the house without saying anything. He greeted him as he walked, "Is the Third Elder here? Have you had dinner yet?"

"Yes, Third Master goes to bed early at night, so he has dinner early as well. He has finished in half an hour." So if you are just here to visit, you'd better go back early, because Third Master will be resting soon.

It was obvious that such an overly reserved way of seeing off guests would not work for Young Master Xu. He nodded, "Oh, oh," and even looked regretful. "Hey, I haven't eaten yet. I wanted to come to the Third Elder's place to get a free meal. What a pity... But to be honest, the Third Elder has only had an honest person like you by his side for so many years. He doesn't even have a talkative person to confide in. It's really boring... If we want to play mahjong or something, they are three short of one, and your Third Master is one short of three, haha!"

The honest steward's temples twitched, and even his eyelids began to twitch. He tried to pull himself out from under the other's palm, but the man was sticky and tangled, and he couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard he tried. In the end, he could only clench his teeth and laugh, "Third Master never plays mahjong."
