535 Cheating in the imperial examination (2)

“Miss Lina, you’ve come all the way from the southern border. Why are you looking for my big brother?”

“I’m not here to find your big brother, I’m here to find. few friends to gain some experience …” A voice with a heavy accent sounded, speaking half-baked great Minister’s language.

However, her voice was like a silver bell, clear and pleasant to the ear.

“So you don’t know my big brother?”

“I don’t.”

He figured out the details in. few words. This girl didn’t look very smart, and it had nothing to do with big brother … Xu lingyue greeted Lina warmly.

His aunt was sitting on a chair not far away, frowning slightly as she looked at Lina with a slightly hostile gaze.

This foreign woman really knew how to eat. In an hour, she had eaten three days ‘worth of food at home. If it was exchanged for silver, it was all, all … A few taels, right?

This was even after his aunt had specially asked the cook to prepare some rice, flour, steamed buns, and vegetables. If there was a lot of fish and meat, how much money would it cost?

Who could afford to raise such a girl?

“Miss Lina? What are you doing in my residence?”

Xu Qi ‘an stepped through the door and looked at the barbaric girl from the southern border in surprise. Compared to her pale face from yesterday’s injury, her complexion was ruddy and her eyes were bright. It seemed that her injuries had already healed.

“Daoist priest Golden Lotus asked me to come find you. He said that I’ll be staying here while I’m in the capital. Many thanks for Lord Xu’s life-saving grace.”

Lina quickly put down her chopsticks, swallowed her food, and looked at Xu Qi ‘an.

She had thought that since she had come to the capital, the people who would receive her would either be Taoist priest Golden Lotus, number 3, number 4, or number 6. Who would have thought that she would end up staying in an unfamiliar man’s house?

Daoist priest Golden Lotus had already told her about yesterday’s incident, and Lina knew that this young man with an extremely good appearance was her Savior.

Since he was a friend that the Daoist priest trusted, Lina also trusted him without reservation.

She called me Lord Xu and not number three … Xu Qi ‘an stared at Lina for a moment, but he couldn’t find any clues from her clear and innocent blue eyes.

Why did Daoist priest Golden Lotus arrange for her to be by my side? What was the meaning of this?

The old silver coin didn’t discuss this with me before doing this. According to my experience with the old silver coins, there’s no plan if you discuss it in advance.

If they didn’t discuss it beforehand, there must be a deeper meaning.

“What else did the Taoist priest say to you?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

Leena took a bite of the bun and vaguely said, “”Daoist priest Golden Lotus said that you’re a close friend he made in the capital, and he told me to stay at my residence with peace of mind.”
