The commoners immediately shut their mouths, but their eyes were filled with contempt.
Qingyuan's sharp gaze swept across the crowd, a jade-green glint flashed across her black eyes.
The people standing next to the middle-aged man immediately focused their attention on him.
Lu Zhinan asked despite knowing the answer.
Thinking about the hundred silver notes and the dozen or so pieces of silver scattered around in his bag, Xie Cong was not willing to part with them.
One had to know, the salary of the imperial guards were not as generous as that of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and in terms of family background, the Grand Princess of Ruyang was far inferior to the Grand Princess Han-shan.
Xie Cong braced himself and awkwardly took the purse: ”It is indeed mine.”
At this moment, he wished that he could find a hole to hide in. Lowering his head, he hurriedly led his subordinates away.
Lu Zhinan turned around and asked the boy: ”What's your name? ”Where do you live?”
The boy said, ”My name is Xinghe. There is a run-down temple near the Tuen Mun. I live with a few of my companions. ”
Lu Zhinan thought for a while, then took out five taels of silver from his bag by his waist, passed it to the boy, and said: ”Take this silver with you. Go take a bath, then buy some clothes and shoes. If you and your comrades are willing to work and feed yourself, go to Han Shan Grand Princess Mansion and look for Manager Li. He will arrange for that to happen. ”
”Young master, is what you said true?”
Lu Zhinan nodded and said, ”Of course it's true.”
Xinghe kneeled on the ground and kowtowed heavily towards Lu Zhinan, and said sincerely: ”Young Master, thank you very much. In Xinghe's entire life, in her next life, you will definitely repay her for her kindness. ”
Lu Zhinan said warmly: ”Quickly wake up, it's still early. You can go back and pack up, and then enter the manor. Maybe you'll still be able to make it in time for dinner.”
”Yes, young master.”
Xinghe broke into a wide grin, jumped up, and ran in the direction of the door.
She had been living in Han Shan Grand Princess Mansion for a while now, so she had some idea about the situation in the house. A large portion of the palace's stewards, attendants, maids, and attendants, were taken away by the Grand Princess Han-shan and Lu Zhinan out of pity for this boy's background, and taken in by him.
It was also because of this reason that the atmosphere of life in the Han Shan Grand Princess Mansion was especially harmonious and harmonious. Everyone sincerely treated the Grand Princess's Mansion as their own home, cherishing it and protecting it.
Qingyuan spoke out emotionally, ”This child is truly fortunate to be able to meet you.”
Hearing that, Lu Zhinan smiled: ”There's nothing that's unlucky. Even if he entered the palace, he would still have to work, and rely on his own work to support himself.”
Pausing for a moment, Lu Zhinan seemed to remember something, and said: ”This place is not far from Immortal Crane Street, why don't we go to Drunken Immortal Tavern?”
Hearing that, Qingyuan was amused: ”Alright, I also haven't seen Heavenly Master Fang for a while, I miss her a little.”
Drunken Immortal Tavern.
”Heavenly Master Fang, we have come to see you.”
Qing Yuan pulled Lu Zhinan along with her right hand while carrying the remaining candied fruits with her left hand as he briskly walked into the Drunken Immortal Tavern.
