The next day.
The morning light is dim and the morning sun is just beginning to appear.
When the time came, the tightly closed gate of Xi'an City slowly opened, and a well-trained city defense army walked out of the city.
Xie Jiuniang and her family came early to line up, followed by a burden, Song Baoer.
Song Baoer now put on Moran's dress and shoes, and combed her hair again. Because she came to line up too early, the tips of her hair were wet with dew.
At first, Song Baoer secretly muttered that the Xie family took it too seriously and had not seen the world.
Just coming into town, no fuss.
When she came over and saw two long queues, Song Baoer felt embarrassed, because she turned out to be the one who had never seen the world.
Waited in line for an hour.
It was Xie Jiuniang and the others' turn.
A soldier guarding the city held a magic mirror and looked at each of the people. "Nothing unusual. Go and pay the spirit stones."
Not far away, there was a rectangular table and a notice board, which roughly stated that during the Tianxu Sect's recruitment period, in order to control the flow of people in the city, the entrance fee would be increased as appropriate.
Adults, ten spirit stones each; children, one stone each, those with good talents can be exempted.
Xie Jiuniang's eyes swept back and forth between the words "Talented but exempt".
I was despised by the sign, it hurts.
Seeing Xie Shen take out twenty-two spirit stones, Song Baoer stood up with her head held high and her chest puffed out, glancing proudly at Xie Jiuniang, "Uncle Xie, I have dual spirit roots of wind and fire, so I shouldn't have to pay the city entrance fee."
Just talk, why are you looking at me while you are talking
Xie Jiuniang stood up straight. "What are you looking at? I have spiritual stones, but you don't."
Song Baoer's proud expression froze.
My heart was still proud, but my bones bent unconsciously.
Soon, she straightened up again, "I have talent, I am a member of the Song family."
"Hehe, I have spirit stones." Xie Jiuniang sneered.
Moran covered his mouth and laughed.
Girls need to spend more time with people their own age.
Xie Shen asked the city guards who were charging the entrance fee, and they took out a spirit-testing plate. It turned out that Song Baoer really had dual spiritual roots and was exempt from the entrance fee.
Miss Song Er had lived a life of luxury for fifteen years, and for the first time she was so happy to save a spiritual stone that she deliberately dangled in front of Xie Jiuniang, "Little Sister Jiu, I got into the city for free, but you didn't. It seems that my talent is better than yours."
Xie Jiuniang said expressionlessly: "I have spiritual stones, but you don't."
Song Baoer, "..."
Does the little girl understand what is going on? Shouldn't we try to please her at this time
At first I thought the little girl didn't see me, I had been walking in front of her several times...
At this moment, Song Baoer was confused.
In the past, there were many people around her who tried to please her and flatter her. My sister said that because she was born into a noble family and had excellent talents, people around her should please her.
But sister Xiaojiu didn't...
Baoer feels so wronged.
Moran glanced at the listless Song Baoer, then turned back to look at her daughter with questioning eyes.
Xie Jiuniang pointed to her own head, indicating that Song Baoer was seriously ill, "Don't worry about her, she will be fine in a while."
In her previous life, she knew that Song Baoer was extraordinary and not just an ordinary weirdo.
The first weird thing is that they have vulgar aesthetic tastes and are surrounded by gold and jewels every day.
The second weird thing is the girl who gives away money. It’s like everyone who tries to please her gets fat.
The third weirdo has a peculiar point of view. She thinks that anyone who doesn’t please her is mentally ill, and she firmly believes it.
Wonderful Four,…
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’m just an insignificant passerby anyway.
Xie Shen asked a local to lead the way and soon found a small courtyard to stay in. He signed a contract to rent it for half a year. The price was 800 spirit stones per month, to be paid in one lump sum.
The sect's recruitment will be over in three months, and the rent will then go down. Why should we be sucked in and rent for half a year
Xie Shen was also helpless.
The owner of the house insisted on renting it for a minimum of six months.
Now the inns in the city are almost full, and the rents have doubled. If he hadn't spent Lingshi to ask the locals for introductions, he might not have been able to rent a place.
This is still in advance.
After waiting for a month or two, I couldn't even rent a woodshed, let alone a small courtyard.
"Song Baoer!"
Xie Jiuniang called out "Song Baoer".
Song Baoer was walking around the courtyard with a look of disdain on her face. "The room here is not even as big as the toilet of my servants. Can't we rent a better one?"
"Heh, do you have any spirit stones?"
"Spirit stones are not a problem. You can keep a record of the amount first and pay when my family comes." Song Baoer never cared about these spirit stones.
When he mentioned his family, his bent back straightened up again.
Xie Jiuniang took out an account book and quickly wrote it down, "The total rent this time is 4,800 spirit stones, and the two families will share it 50-50. You owe my family 2,400, right?"
"right."
Song Baoer counted it twice in her mind and found the number correct. "Actually, you can put all these spirit stones into my account."
"No, my family will never take advantage of others." Xie Jiuniang said righteously.
Song Baoer's cognition was refreshed again.
It turns out there are people in this world who won’t take advantage of a good opportunity. Are they fools
When Song Baoer saw Xie Jiuniang's eyes again, she couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy, "My sister said that people who don't take advantage of me are fools, and told me not to associate with them."
Xie Jiuniang's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"My sister said that if a smart person stays with a fool for too long, the smart person will become a fool." Song Baoer was very entangled, and her brows knitted together, "What should I do? I don't want to be a fool, but I have to stay with sister Jiuer for the time being."
Xie Jiuniang was silent.
This... is it implied
The ink on the account book dried completely, and Xie Jiuniang closed it tightly. "Song Ersha, your sister is absolutely right. Don't forget it."
Hearing this, Song Baoer puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Is that so? I was a little skeptical at first, so I asked several friends, and they all said that my sister was right."
Xie Jiuniang nodded perfunctorily, stuffed the account book into Song Baoer's hand, turned around and left without looking back.
What Miss Song thinks about her sister has nothing to do with her as an outsider, but she was right in one thing: you can't stay with a fool for too long!
Song Baoer suddenly remembered something and was immediately furious, "You stinky girl, what did you call me just now?!"
What is it
Don’t you have any idea
Not only did Xie Jiuniang not stop, she walked even faster.
"Ah, you little bitch, stop right there!"
"Stop! Who do you say is Song Ersha?"
"… "
Moran, who was setting up the formation in the bedroom, stopped when he heard the noise.
I kind of regret coming out. Is it too late to go back to the room
