Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Bai Wanwan glanced at the mess of bamboo tubes and banknotes on the table, frowned, and asked, "You're gambling with crickets, and if you win, you can get 100,000 taels of silver?"

This made everyone laugh again.

Wang Jingheng teased her deliberately: "Little girl, you want to play too? Do you have a cricket?"

Bai Wanwan shook her head:

“Not now, but I’m going to catch one tonight.

Tomorrow morning, we'll still be here, all armed with banknotes. Do you dare to bet?"

"Can you make the decision? One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount!" Wang Jingheng curled his lips.

Bai Wanwan didn't say anything, but took out a stack of banknotes from her messenger bag and threw them on the table.

When everyone got closer to take a look, they saw that they were all 10,000 tael notes, stacked up in a thick pile.

The room suddenly became quiet. Wang Jingheng swallowed hard, staring at the banknotes and stammering, "So much money...how could your family let you take it out?"

Bai Wanwan pushed the banknote back, a smile on her lips: "Don't worry, I have the final say. Don't be afraid to come tomorrow."

Wang Jingheng laughed so hard that he held his stomach:

"Oh, you're quite a gutsy little girl! Okay, I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow morning!

But let me be frank, there are more than 20 people here who want to challenge you, so you better prepare some money.

If I can’t catch a good cricket, I’ll probably have to grope around in the fields in the dark tonight!”

Bai Wanwan ignored the group of people and turned to stare at Shen Tao: "What about you? Are you still planning on fooling around here, or are you going back with me?"

Shen Tao felt uncomfortable when she looked at him. He coughed twice and puffed out his chest.

"What are you talking about! I am the young master of the Shen family, how can I be like them and indulge in pleasure?

I'll pack up and go back to study!"

The people around him laughed even harder. Wang Jingheng laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. "No way! You're a little bully. Who would believe you if you told us you were going back to school?"

"That's right, but your study partner is really amazing. Even the little bully has to listen to her!"

Bai Wanwan glanced at the young men in the room with a cold face, and said with a hint of disappointment in her tone:

"All they do all day is fight crickets and gamble in brothels, and they don't even feel ashamed.

Do you think everything will be fine just because your family is rich? Once the older generation passes away, if you don't have some real skills, even mountains of gold and silver will be squandered.

Look at what you are like now. If you keep going on like this, you won’t even be able to understand the housekeeper’s account book in the future.

The subordinates can cheat the family out of everything with just a few words."

"Don't think you can rely on your parents forever. The world outside is very dangerous. Business is brutal, and the rules in the court are numerous.

You can't even read or understand official documents. If you get cheated one day, you won't know what's going on.

By then, the family’s shop would be robbed, the land would be taken away, and in the end, they wouldn’t even be able to eat a hot meal.

Beggars on the street are more respectable than you, dandies like you."

After saying that, Bai Wanwan walked away with Shen Tao with her head held high.

Wang Jingheng and a group of young men from aristocratic families were scolded so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads.

After they left, Wang Jingheng finally realized what was happening and said, "Is this what a two-year-old would say? If someone didn't know, they would think it was my mother!"

The young men from the aristocratic families also nodded repeatedly: "It's exactly what my grandfather said. This little girl is really weird."

Someone said with a smile, "This little girl is very rich. You should quickly take out your best crickets tomorrow."

Shen Tao looked at Bai Wanwan and said, "You're really brave. You actually dared to fight crickets with these people. Do you think you can do it alone?"

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "It's better than you, right? You're willing to accept losing 10 taels of silver?"

Shen Tao looked at her and said, "I'm willing to accept the loss. What's there to be unwilling about?"

"You have a pretty good attitude..."

Shen Tao laughed heartily and said, "What my family has is silver. These banknotes are what I have in excess. My grandmother often gives them to me. She..."

"Come on, stop being so Versailles. It's so annoying." Bai Wanwan sighed.

The Queen Mother naturally loves Shen Tao, and she doesn't want to know too many secrets here. If she is silenced, it would be a big loss.

Shen Tao looked at her and said:

"How about I help you catch crickets tonight?

Catching crickets is difficult, and you need to find several, especially the strongest ones."

Bai Wanwan glanced at him and said, "Come on! Your vision is not good. I can catch it myself."

Shen Tao frowned at her and asked, "Why are you so stubborn?"

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "Hurry up and study hard. We have to recite the Analects today. Do you know how to do it?"

"Ah... I came here just because I didn't want to do dictation. You had to call me back. It's so annoying." Shen Tao's face was full of anger.

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said:

"Then just study hard. These are the most basic lessons for five or six-year-olds.

You can't even do the most basic homework, isn't it embarrassing?"

Shen Tao held his head high and said, "What's so shameful about this? My grandmother is the Queen Mother, and my mother is the eldest princess. Do I need to take the imperial examination?"

Bai Wanwan sneered, "Studying is for understanding. You don't even understand this most basic truth. I won't talk to you anymore."

"You...what's your attitude? Am I the study partner, or are you the study partner?" Shen Tao muttered to himself, but still followed Bai Wanwan into the school.

As soon as Bai Wanwan walked into the school, she saw Lin Zaozao was there too.

Lin Zaozao was wearing a moon-pink skirt and her jet-black hair was tied up into a round bun.

Her watery almond eyes were covered with a layer of mist. She clutched the hem of her skirt and cried, "Sister, you, please don't ignore me..."

I heard someone next to me say:

"Last month, there was a torrential downpour. When Su Niantang, the daughter of the Marquis of Ding'an, was out for an outing, her carriage was hit by a mudslide on a mountain road.

When the carriage lost control and fell into the deep ravine, Lin Zao-zao risked his life to grab the reins of the frightened horse, then jumped into the ravine against the rolling rocks, using his body to protect the unconscious Su Nian-tang.

When the guards arrived, they saw her covered in blood, still clinging to Miss Su, her fingertips scratching bloody marks in the cracks of the stone.

At this moment, in the front hallway, several young ladies were whispering to each other, their voices very low: "No way? Such a good thing? There really is a silly girl who would risk her life to save someone?"

"That's right! If the guards of the Marquis' Mansion hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe it?"

"Now Miss Lin is the adopted daughter of the Marquis, and is on equal footing with Miss Nian Tang. Who would dare to look down on her in the future?

Even if the princess comes, you have to show her some respect!"

Not far away, Lin Zaozao was bending down to adjust the crabapple hairpin in Su Niantang's hair. The two looked so intimate that they seemed to be more harmonious than real sisters.

Su Niantang took Lin Zaozao's hand and said:

"Stay away from your sister from now on. She's the best at putting on an act.

And she loves to follow men around, which is really disgusting."
