Upon hearing this, my cousin immediately interrupted with a smile: "Don't worry so much. Brother Chen made four or five taels of silver from a book today, which is just a drop in the bucket for him."

"What? You made four or five taels of silver from a book?"

Aunt’s eyes were red;

Liu Mingjie, Liu Yueniang and the little girl Xiang'er were so surprised that they opened their mouths wide and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

"well!"

Jiang Chen shook his head with a stinking look on his face: "I just wanted to make my wife and Xiang'er's life better, and I just betrayed a little bit of my talent. It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"

While he was talking, he sat down next to Liu Yueniang, took her little hand and stuffed a few pieces of silver into her hand and said:

"I wanted to buy a hosta for my wife, but unfortunately I can't afford a hosta that matches my noble and refined temperament. I'll save my money first. Once I have saved enough, my husband will take you to pick it out."

"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Yueniang's pretty face turned red and she lowered her head. Although she knew that Jiang Chen was probably flirting again, she still couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness and happiness in her heart.

It's a pity that her happiness and sweetness didn't last for half an hour before Jiang Chen made her feel embarrassed and she hid in Xiang'er's boudoir with a blushing face.

Jiang Chen, who had teased his wife away, secretly ran to the night market.

After buying more than a hundred apples from different stalls, he threw the pulp into the river, returned home with the apple seeds, dried them, crushed them into powder, and carefully collected them.

…

The next day, the second day of the three-day appointment.

More and more people went to Wangyue Tower to listen to Jiang Chen and Bai Wan'er's storytelling and singing, but until Jiang Chen finished coloring the sketch for Bai Wan'er, they didn't wait for Yang Jian or a noble person worthy of their trust.

So Jiang Chen, who was feeling disappointed, added some more ingredients to the wine he bought for Baozhang Wang, and drank half a bowl with Baozhang Wang in order to get rid of suspicion.

Wang Baochang didn't know that his death was imminent, so he first threatened Jiang Chen that he would not be able to produce the four hundred guan the next day, and if he didn't hand over Liu Yueniang and the girls, he pulled out his tongue, and then started eating and drinking with a happy expression on his face.

Seeing him drinking so violently, Jiang Chen felt happy in his heart.

But when he returned home, his aunt's worried sighs, Liu Yueniang's and Xiang'er's frowns, and their lack of appetite made him feel heavy again.

I wrote down a method for purifying coarse salt overnight to prepare for the worst.

…

On the last day of the three-day appointment, Jiang Chen rushed to Wangyue Tower early.

But when the second session in the afternoon was finished, Yang Jian's people didn't show up, which made Jiang Chen couldn't help but start to doubt his plan.

In desperation, he decided to change his initiative into a passive one, and took the crude salt purification method he had written to go to Yang Jian and other powerful officials one by one for help.

Even if there was a high possibility that he would be controlled and become a lowly craftsman, he wouldn't care.

However, before he could walk out of Wangyue Tower, Lu Wenbin and two sturdy men stopped him.

With a ferocious smile on his face, he said: "Jiang, where are you going in such a hurry? Are you trying to escape? Stop dreaming! Just follow me back to see Bao Zhang Wang. I'm still waiting for you to pay me a wife, ha."

Ha ha……"

"You are really a piece of shit!"

Jiang Chen looked disgusted.

Just when he didn't know how to get rid of this annoying hanged man, shopkeeper Pan suddenly walked over quickly, glared at Lu Wenbin and said:

"Lu Wenbin, you are making unreasonable troubles again and again, which is simply the behavior of a villain. Come here, kick him out, and he will not be allowed to set foot in Wangyue Tower again!"

"No, I didn't! Shopkeeper Pan, there's a misunderstanding. I'm not here to make trouble, I'm here to see Jiang..."

When Lu Wenbin saw everyone around him looking at him with disdain, his face turned red with embarrassment and he hurriedly explained.

But shopkeeper Pan was too lazy to listen to his ramblings. After having Lu Wenbin thrown out, he pulled Jiang Chen and said with a smile: "Xian brother, there is a noble person looking for you, come with me quickly!"

"Noble person? I wonder which noble person it is?"

Jiang Chen asked expectantly.

Shopkeeper Pan looked around and chuckled in a low voice: "It's the Erlang Zhenjun in Xiandi's book - Yang Jian and Yang Tiju!"

"Oh? Is it really him?"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up instantly.

In his mind, there are not many people who are qualified to arm-wrestle with the Wang family of the Five Dynasties Jinshi. Gao Qiu is one of them, but it is a pity that he went to the Western Army to do military merit;

The great eunuch Tong Guan is scraping land in the south of the Yangtze River; Liang Shicheng, who considers himself Su Shi's concubine, is still working under Jia Xiang, the eunuch who passed the order, and is not yet qualified.

Among the remaining people, the only one he could take a liking to and not find annoying was Yang Jian. So he spent all his brains trying to flatter her from afar, not wanting to finally do it.

Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and excited. After taking a deep breath, he took steps and followed Shopkeeper Pan to a private room on the second floor.

Seeing a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard sitting on the throne, with an entourage standing beside him, Jiang Chen immediately guessed the identity of this person.

Shopkeeper Pan also bowed to Yang Jian first and said, "Yang Tiju, this is my virtuous brother, Mr. Jiang Chenjiang who talked about the legend of the White Snake."

As he said that, he showed Jiang Chen another look and said, "Xian brother, I haven't seen Master Tiju yet!"

salute?

How can you fool him when your body is too low?

Jiang Chen shook his head secretly, looked at Yang Jian with a look of disbelief on his face and said, "They look so similar. How come they are so similar? But, how come there is one missing eye?"

"Am I missing an eye?"

Yang Jian's old face turned dark instantly.

Shopkeeper Pan's eyelids jumped wildly in shock.

The eunuch Li Yan, who lured Yang Jian in to claim credit, was so angry that he wanted to kill Jiang Chen.

He heard about the story about Erlang Zhenjun in Jiang Chen's newsbook this morning, and immediately ran to tell Yang Jian.

I thought I would be able to please Yang Jian this time, but I didn't expect to meet such a rude and dumb fool like Jiang Chen.

He couldn't help but reprimanded angrily: "How dare you! How dare you be disrespectful to Master Tiji?"

"Sir, please calm down and please allow me to explain."

Jiang Chen bowed his hands to Li Yan and Yang Jian and said:

"To be honest, I have had the pleasure of reading a Taoist secret book called The Annals of the Ancient World. The portrait of Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian in it is exactly the same as that of Lord Tiju.

When I first met you, I thought you were seeing Lord Erlang, so I lost my composure. Please forgive me."

Um?

real or fake?

Li Yan had a strange expression!

Shopkeeper Pan secretly wiped the cold sweat from his palms.

Yang Jian's expression also softened, and he asked: "If that's the case, then why do you say that I am missing an eye?"

"Sir, it's because that Erlang Zhenjun has vertical pupils in his eyebrows, and he has one more heavenly eye than ordinary immortals." Jiang Chen replied truthfully.

"Oh I got it!"

Yang Jian nodded, looked Jiang Chen up and down for a few times and then said, "I am very interested in the story of True Lord Erlang. Can you explain it clearly to me?"
