Tang Ning was quite shocked when he learned that it was only fifteen taels of silver.

Fifteen taels of silver for a living person.

I thought the old man was cheap enough, but I didn't expect the maid to be even cheaper.

It was only ten taels of silver. Tang Ning numbly paid the money, took the indenture and left.

With two more people, Tang Ning could only prepare more food and drinks.

"Miss, let this servant do these things."

The maid was a person who could read people's expressions. She looked ordinary, but she worked very efficiently. Tang Ning felt that the money she spent was well worth it.

So I gave her a very nice name, Yuanbao.

Yuanbao was very happy and said that her original name was Gou'er because her previous master didn't like her.

So I hope she can lie on the ground like a dog every day.

So she likes the name Yuanbao very much.

Tang Ning, who had just casually chosen the name, felt guilty, wondering if she had been too casual.

Tang Ning changed into men's clothing as soon as she set out for convenience. She wasn't exaggerating, but it was after she started using technology and powerful tools on her face.

The little face, which used to be dark and yellow, has become visibly whiter in the past few months.

Eat well, drink well, and your figure will become more and more plump.

Many clothes can be held up by me. If I wear a skirt, it would be a big waste if I attract some lechers.

The carriage was covered with thick bedding, so Tang Ning simply took down a chair and lay down inside.

Yuanbao served Tang Ning very attentively, and he felt that the journey was extremely comfortable.

She wasn't arrogant. Tangning was always kind to those who cared about her.

Tang Ning, who had no shortage of money, was very wealthy. He stopped along the way to eat, drink and have fun.

When she arrives in a big city, she has to spend a few days playing, which she calls a world tour.

Yuanbao Suiren didn't understand what was being said, but he was quite cooperative. Tang Ning, who was praised by him every day, was almost lost.

Soon, she discovered that prices seemed to be getting higher and higher.

The price of the same roast chicken has doubled in larger cities.

Tang Ning found an escort agency in the city to travel with, and also prepared a set of men's clothes for Yuanbao.

"Mr. Tang, you don't know that the prices in Kyoto are really high. An ordinary small house costs a hundred taels of gold."

The cake in Tang Ning's mouth no longer tasted delicious. She had originally planned to just lie down and live a good life once she arrived in Beijing, buying a big house.

Wow, an ordinary little house costs a hundred taels of gold!

She counted the gold she had and was afraid it was only enough for an ordinary little house.

"Is it so expensive? You should just rent a house."

"Mr. Tang is so rich, why does he care about such a small thing?"

There's always someone who hates the rich, so Tangning didn't take it personally and sighed.

"We're not short of small money, we're short of big money!"

As she was speaking, the maid beside her poked her to prevent her from chatting too excitedly and revealing too much.

Unfortunately, the maid didn't know that the men traveling with her had never thought that Tang Ning was a woman.

Tangning covered her ear piercings and put on some makeup.

When chatting, she says dirty words even more exaggeratedly than these men.

When it comes to visiting brothels, she knows a lot and there is no doubt that she is a woman.

Just think of him as a young man out for fun, with his beautiful wife who has become a man.

Every day when the two of them stayed in the carriage, the men looked at the carriage with meaningful expressions.

"Mr. Tang, are you going to the capital for sightseeing this time?"

Tangning smiled, then thought of Gu Mufeng. Unsure how to start, she resorted to a common excuse:

"I'm going to look for my relatives."

Since he has given so much gold and silver, we can barely consider him a relative.

Go find him, that's right.

"Then why does Mr. Tang need to buy a house? Just stay in an inn. When you find your relatives later, you can stay directly with them."

Tang Ning smiled, thinking about the things in the space that Gu Mufeng asked her to keep, which seemed to include some land deeds and the like.

She had some doubts about Gu Mufeng's identity. How could he be so rich?

"The imperial examination is about to begin in the capital, and many more students are coming to the capital. I see that Mr. Tang is also literate, so why don't you take the exam?"

As soon as the person asking the question finished speaking, he was poked by the person next to him. He said that if he didn't take the imperial examination, it was either because he didn't pass, or because his family didn't allow him to take the exam.

Regardless of that, these are things that cannot be asked. Isn't that just provoking hurt?

"My academic knowledge is too poor, I really can't pass the exam!"

Tang Ning didn't mind. What was there to mind?

She wanted to take the exam, but women are not allowed to take the exam here.

Besides, what's so good about being an official? It's not as happy as being an idle rich man, eating, drinking and having fun as soon as you open your eyes every day.

She couldn't even imagine how happy she would be.

"We are just ahead of Xifeng Mountain. There are many bandits on the mountain. Mr. Tang, please return to the carriage and stay here for your own safety."

The team leader took a look at the surroundings and reminded everyone to stay alert.

Tang Ning obeyed and waited for Yuanbao to go back.

The two remained alert and dared not speak.

Before long, the surroundings turned into mountains and forests...

"I built this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass by here, you must leave some money for your journey!"

The familiar opening line struck Tangning as hilarious, but she couldn't laugh.

If she read the novel, she would definitely laugh at this idiot author who only knew these old-fashioned things.

But there were real bandits outside now, so how could she dare to laugh?

"Excuse me, which mountain are you from? I'm from the Qingfeng Escort Agency and I paid the toll at the beginning of the year."

"Bah, why do you care which mountain I'm from? You're not from our mountain. Pay the money quickly, or don't go there."

The big man spat out the wild grass in his mouth and greeted him.

Suddenly, many people ran down the mountain.

The leader of the escort agency looked at these unfamiliar faces, his mouth twitching with anger. Are there another group of bandits?

If this continues, the money they earn every year will not be enough to pay to these bandits.

The others were also eager to try. It was a bit unrealistic to think that such a small number of people could stop them.

Seeing that there were so many of them, the bandits said they didn't want to cause trouble and would let them go if they paid enough money.

"Five hundred taels! That's too much!"

Tang Ning subconsciously clenched her fists. Was a fight going to happen?

He even pulled out two machetes from under the cushion and handed one to Yuanbao.

"I don't know where all these good men came from, but five hundred taels of silver is too much. Would one hundred taels be enough?"

The leader did not want to cause trouble, so he told his men not to act rashly.

The items they are transporting this time are very precious, so they are definitely unwilling to do anything if they can avoid it.

If the goods are lost, they won’t be able to afford the compensation even if they sell them.

"Okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels!"

The bandit smiled and stretched out his hand to take the silver.

They have been escorting goods for many years, so it is obvious that these people are just a makeshift team.

He secretly hated himself for being at a disadvantage. He thought these people could be dealt with with five taels of silver.

But West Mountain Peak was very dangerous, and he didn't want to get involved, so he took out the silver.
