Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

After the wedding banquet, the boys gathered in front of their ethnic school teacher, nervously waiting for the teacher to announce the assessment results.

The ethnic school teacher was holding a notebook, and anyone who had seen it knew that it contained their assessment scores.

One by one, the teenagers who participated in the assessment stepped forward, leaving with either a sigh of relief or a bitter look on their faces.

Su Xingze has a unique skill in recognizing people. Long before attending the wedding banquet, he handed over the list of people he recognized to his teacher. He didn't go too far and only wrote down the names of three people he wasn't very familiar with.

As a distraction without the disguise task, he also has his own assessment task—to identify the true identities of three Zhang family youths who are disguised. He will be punished if he misses even one person.

This assessment was no different from an open-book exam for him. What worried him more was the child. Putting everything else aside, the boy who had been in close contact with him and Zhang Shengchun definitely recognized the child.

Sure enough, after Su Xingze received the slip of paper indicating that he had passed the assessment from the teacher, he stood aside and waited for a while before the child came over with the slip of paper.

I glanced at the child's expression; his face remained as calm as ever, making it impossible to tell whether the assessment result was good or bad.

However, based on his understanding of children, Su Xingze still noticed the unhappiness hidden beneath the child's calm exterior.

As expected, the assessment results were still unsatisfactory.

Back home, Su Xingze glanced at the child, then at him again, and finally asked, "How did it go?"

The child lowered his eyes, turned his face slightly to the side, and inexplicably revealed a hint of grievance.

"The assessment was unsuccessful."

He handed over the note, and Su Xingze glanced down at it. The note had a bright red "Lu" on it, which meant that six people had recognized the child.

Su Xingze was not surprised by this data at all; the child's acting skills were truly... cough!

Seeing the child sulking, he still pretended to be very surprised: "How could this be? Your disguise is perfectly fine."

Zhang Shenglin's eyes were lowered, and although his expression didn't change, Su Xingze had a feeling that he was secretly sulking.

He felt a pang of sympathy, stood on tiptoe, raised his hand, and patted the child's head, his face full of sincerity: "Your disguise is really perfect, absolutely flawless, really! I'm not lying to you."

Before failing the assessment, Zhang Shenglin believed that there was nothing wrong with his disguise, but now that six people have pointed it out, it shows that there are still significant problems with his disguise.

Seeing his dejected look, Su Xingze quickly comforted him, "It's not your fault for disguising yourself. Perhaps it's because your outstanding temperament is holding you back."

Zhang Shenglin was bewildered: "Charm?"

Su Xingze nodded repeatedly, pinched and rubbed the child's little face. The child obediently let him pinch, only looking at him with his eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing the child's flushed cheeks, and wondering how the mask could be so realistic, Su Xingze felt guilty for a couple of seconds before lowering his hand, pretending that he hadn't done anything.

“Look at Zhang Shengchun disguised as you today, but I can recognize him at a glance because he doesn’t have your temperament. He looks fake.”

Su Xingze summoned a water mirror and pointed it at the child: "Is that Zhang Shengchun you see?"

The child's face was still covered by Zhang Shengchun's face, and the water mirror clearly reflected his appearance.

He met his gaze in the mirror and saw a pair of calm eyes tinged with a hint of bewilderment. The expression on 'Zhang Shengchun's' face was serene and indifferent, completely different from the Zhang Shengchun who seemed to have a hint of a smile even when he wasn't smiling.

Even though he now has Zhang Shengchun's face, the Zhang Shengchun in the mirror looks terrifyingly unfamiliar.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Zhang Shenglin seemed to understand something.

"The person in the mirror is me."

Even though he has the face of Zhang Shengchun, his eyes, his expression, and even his movements tell those who see him that he is not Zhang Shengchun but Zhang Shenglin.

Seeing that he understood, Su Xingze nodded with relief: "Alright, don't be sad anymore. It's good that you know where the problem lies. Once your chemistry course is over, we'll arrange acting classes. Then you can play Zhang Shengchun whenever you want, and there will definitely be no more instances of being exposed."

With that matter over, Su Xingze smiled and approached the child, taking out the few gold leaves he had obtained.

"Little Qilin, quickly bring out yours too, let's count how many there are."

Zhang Shenglin took out his gold leaf from his pocket, one more than Su Xingze.

Su Xingze put the two gold leaves together and weighed them in his hand, and he had a good idea of ​​the weight of the gold.

"It's probably about one and a half ounces. They're really rich and powerful."

The "one liang" that Su Xingze mentioned here is different from the "one liang" that is commonly used in later generations. Here, one liang is about 37-38 grams, and one and a half liang is about 56 grams.

He didn't quite understand the prices of goods in this era, but before he entered the Ghost Prison, the price of gold had already soared to over 700. This 56 grams of gold was equivalent to over 39,000, which was a huge sum of money for a child.

"The Zhang family is really rich." Su Xingze now knew what the Zhang family did, so he could only sigh at their wealth.

With Zhang Shengchun, a well-informed gossipmonger, in the clan school, Su Xingze was no longer as ignorant about the Zhang family as he had been when he first arrived.

The Zhang family has a rule of endogamy, but the number of girls and boys in the family is unequal. In addition, due to their close blood ties, there are many single men in the Zhang family, which has led to a rise in the status of women in the Zhang family.

In this feudal era when women still bound their feet, the girls of the Zhang family not only did not have to bind their feet, but also received the same education as the boys, and some of the girls were even more capable than the boys of the Zhang family.

Zhang Shengxue was an outstanding figure of her generation, dominating her entire generation and widely recognized as their leader.

According to Zhang Shengchun's whispered revelation, Zhang Shengxue has many admirers within the clan, and many people secretly expressed their dissatisfaction that Zhang Longrong won her heart.

If Zhang Longrong wronged Zhang Shengxue at the wedding, these people would have a reason to try and steal her away from Zhang Longrong.

The women of the Zhang family did not have the idea of ​​remaining faithful to one husband after marriage. If her husband was impotent and she could not have children, the clan would support her divorce and remarriage. Her husband was unwilling but had no choice but to agree.

The Zhang family had such long lifespans, and they did jobs that put their lives on the line; one wrong move and they could be sacrificed in the grave. There was no way they were expected to stay by their husbands' side for a lifetime.

It's even more open than the future he traveled to.

Given the status of women in the Zhang family, it's not hard to understand why Zhang Longrong went to such great lengths to marry Zhang Shengxue.

Putting the Zhang family's affairs out of his mind, Su Xingze returned the child's gold leaf to him and told him to put it in his personal space.

After the child forms a contract with him, he also gets a personal space of one cubic meter. It's easy to expand it; one thousand points are enough to expand it by one cubic meter.

However, the child doesn't need much personal space, or perhaps he has too little. Currently, the space only contains his few coins and some of the mechanisms and hidden weapons he made himself.

Having received a large sum of money before the Lunar New Year, Su Xingze has already planned to go on a shopping spree with his children at the last big market before the holiday.

This time, he plans to take his child from one end of the street to the other, letting him experience the charm of delicious food.

The plan was well-thought-out, but plans are always disrupted by unexpected events.
