Out of the Shengguo Mansion, when Sheng Mingyu was about to get into the carriage, he saw that in front of the archway in front of the Guogong Mansion, several men in extraordinary clothes were surrounding a middle-aged man who was about thirty or forty years old, walking towards the Guogong Mansion.

Taking a closer look, Sheng Mingyu found that the man in the middle surrounded by the group of men was her uncle, Sheng Guogong's master, and Sheng Guogong's first-class official residence.

She had only met the uncle a few times, and had not spoken much.

But she knew that her uncle Sheng Luo and her aunt Sun were a virtue.

Otherwise, Sheng Luo would not have married someone like Sun and came back.

Because of the distance, Song Jin didn't hear what they were talking about, only vaguely heard the man in Tsing Yi say.

"There was a plague in Liuzhou, Jiangzhou, and many people died, and the imperial court was ready to send people down for disaster relief. The imperial court intended to let Sheng Guogong serve as a disaster relief envoy, and went down with several imperial historians in Beijing. ”

However, she saw that Sheng Luo shook his head, obviously unwilling to go.

The disaster relief envoy is the most offending errand, because the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court is still tens of thousands of taels of silver in Beijing, but when it comes to the bottom, it really reaches the hands of the local yamen, and it becomes thousands of taels of silver.

These disaster relief funds were deprived by the officials below, level by level, and when they reached the hands of the magistrates, there were only a few thousand taels of silver left. With only a few thousand taels of silver, it is even more difficult to provide disaster relief.

Sheng Mingyu thought about it, and after getting into the carriage, he sighed secretly in the car.

This kind of thing is not something that a small person like her can manage, she still manages herself, how to find a way to make money, right?

When I returned to the house, Anxin prepared hot water for her, washed up, and changed her clothes.

The cook who was waiting on the stove today took leave, and Ming Jue and her dinner had not yet been settled, so she planned to cook herself and cook a hearty dinner for Ming Jue.

The Yang family, who lives next door to their house, pity their sister and brother, and every three or five days, they will have people send some fresh vegetables.

Sheng Mingyu went to the gatehouse, took the fresh vegetables sent by the Yang family, and then carried them back to the small kitchen.

The vegetables sent by the Yang family today include lotus root with mud, fresh lotus seeds, water chestnuts, a few green onions, and a live fish.

Looking at the live fish jumping around in the basin, Song Jin thought that he could make a carp soup tonight to replenish Mingjue's body.

Ming Jue has been reading at night for the past few days, and people have been haggard a lot, and giving him some fish soup can also replenish his brain.

After the meal was cooked, Sheng Mingyu asked Anxin to invite Ming Jue to come to the stove to eat, originally to send it to Ming Jue's house and give him his own food.

But thinking that asking Mingjue to come out for a trip would also allow him to breathe and wake up, so he let him come to the stove to eat.

After dinner, Sheng Mingyu wanted to stay in Mingjue's small kitchen to say a few words, wanting to tell him what happened in Shengguo's Mansion today, but before she could speak, Mingjue went back to the study first with heavy homework.

asked someone to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Sheng Mingyu went out of the small kitchen, and when he was about to go to the study where Mingjue was, someone from the concierge came to report, saying that the wife of the Yang family next door was too big and wanted to discuss something with Sheng Mingyu.

asked the little maid to invite Mrs. Yang to the small flower hall in the front yard, Sheng Mingyu changed the clothes full of oil smoke, washed again, and straightened her hair before going to the small flower hall in the front yard.

Because Sheng Mingyu has dismissed many maids and servants over the years, many places in the front yard have been idle, and no one has cleaned them up, so there is a lot of dust.

Except for the small flower hall where guests are entertained, the other rooms are locked and idle.

"The live fish that was brought to me today, is it fresh?" Mrs. Yang opened her mouth with a smile, and there was a mother-in-law and two maids waiting behind her.

There is also a girl sitting next to Mrs. Yang, who is the fifth girl of the Yang family next door, Mrs. Yang's youngest daughter, Yang Yue'er.

The master of the Yang family is the imperial history of the imperial history platform, and in the imperial court, the prestige is still very great.

"Thank you, madam, the fish is very fresh, and the fish soup is also delicious. Thank you Madame for helping our sister and brother over the years, and if Madame has anything to do, just ask. As long as I am within my ability, I will do my best to help Madame. ”

Sheng Mingyu saw that Mrs. Yang came to the door today, as if she wanted to ask her for help.

Hearing Sheng Mingyu say this, Mrs. Yang opened her mouth.

"Miss Mingyu, the reason why I came to the door today is indeed because I want to ask Miss Mingyu for something. My family is not young, and I want to ask a teacher to come back and teach her to read and learn calligraphy. But I searched all over the city of Tokyo, and I couldn't find a single female teacher. ”

"I know that Miss Mingyu can also read and break words, I want to hire Miss Mingyu to come to my house and teach the little girl to read a few words, so that she can understand what is written in the article."

Mrs. Yang finished talking, and asked the maid behind her to open a box she brought, only to see that there was a silver ticket of one hundred taels in the box, and a pair of jade bracelets with good water heads.

"Miss Mingyu, it's a little meaning, it's not a tribute, I hope you accept it."

Originally, she was still thinking about how to make money to provide Mingjue with her education.

Unexpectedly, the eldest wife of the Yang family actually sent this opportunity and asked her to go to the Yang Mansion to teach Yang Yue'er to read and learn calligraphy.

She can agree, but she still has her own things to do, and she can't go to Yang's Mansion every day to teach Yang Yue'er to read and learn characters.

"Madam, I can promise you to go to Yang's Mansion and teach Yue'er to read and learn calligraphy, but I have a little request, and I hope you will agree."

Sheng Mingyu glanced at Mrs. Yang in front of her, and then looked at Yang Yue'er beside Mrs. Yang, Yang Yue'er's eyes widened, and she looked at Sheng Mingyu in front of her motionlessly, as if she was looking at something new.

Listening to the meaning of Sheng Mingyu's words, she promised herself.

As long as she agrees to herself, whatever she asks, she will gladly accept it.

"Miss Mingyu, please speak! What are your requirements?"

"Madame, I don't ask for much, just a little. It's that I can't often accompany Yue'er in the house to read and practice calligraphy, in a month, I will go for half a month, and the remaining half a month, I have my own things to do. ”

Sheng Mingyu's request was not excessive, and Mrs. Yang agreed to her without thinking about it.

After letting Anxin send Mrs. Yang away, Mingjue came back.

In fact, if she can make friends with the Yang family, it will also help her to do things in the future.

Sheng Mingyu went to the study, she was going to copy a few of the alchemy recipes recorded in the "Taishang Qingming Sutra", and then wait a few days, when she arrived at the Miaoyuan Immortal Temple outside the city to hold a Dharma meeting, she would take these copied alchemy recipes to sell.

At that time, she only needs to use a little more effort, saying that these alchemy recipes were copied by Zhang Lao Tianshi in a dream when she was asleep.

But when he woke up, he found that these alchemy recipes had appeared beside him.

After she told others like this, even if others didn't want to buy her recipes, it would be difficult.

In order to prevent others from buying these recipes of hers and then selling them out for the second time, she is ready to think of a few more recipes.

Ming Jue came out of his study, planning to go to Sheng Mingyu's house to have a look, but found that she was not in the room, and after asking about the peace of mind of cleaning up in the house, Ming Jue knew that her sister went to the study used afterwards when her father was alive.

"Sister, what are you doing here? These are all relics left by my father to you and me, and I don't allow you to take these books and sell them without permission. ”

As soon as Mingjue entered the door, he saw that the study was full of books, and the things on the Bogu shelf and the bookshelf were all moved down by Sheng Mingyu.

He thought that his sister was going to carry him behind his back, so he secretly shipped these things out and bought them, so he hurriedly stopped him.

But when he squatted down, he only found his sister squatting on the ground, fetching a basin of water, carefully wiping the ornaments on the Bogu shelf and the books on the shelf.

"I'm just looking at my father's study, no one has come to clean it for a long time, I'll come over today and clean it up. Later, my sister moved here, anyway, the house here is just right to put a soft couch. ”

Ming Jue was stunned for a long time, why did her sister suddenly think about moving in?

This study is so dilapidated, where can my sister live?

No, no, he must persuade his sister well.

Mingjue approached Sheng Mingyu, only to see a book on the bookcase that had been wiped clean, the book cover was worn, and the title of the book was written "Taishang Qingming Sutra". Ming Jue picked up the book and looked at it carefully, it was Daozang.

How could my sister suddenly want to read such a book?

Could it be that my sister also has a heart for studying this technique?

I looked at the bookcase again, and saw a few pieces of paper with words written on it pressed with a paperweight, and the words on it were written crookedly, and at first glance it was written by my sister.

"Taishang Wuqing Dan, Taishang Flying Ascension Dan......" Ming Jue picked up the pieces of paper and said something in his mouth.

This is the recipe for refining the elixir?

Where did my sister get it?

Hearing Ming Jue's voice, Sheng Mingyu knew that Ming Jue must be reading the alchemy recipe she copied at the moment, so she simply told him her plan.

"Ming Jue, in the future, you and I will rely on these alchemy recipes for a living. Outside the city, the Miaoshan Immortal Temple, the Five Mountains Temple, the Sanqing Temple, and the Miaoyuan Immortal Temple, will hold a puja every month, and the master of each temple will personally give the elixir to those believers. ”

"Of these elixirs, a small grain is ten taels of silver, and a large one is twenty taels of silver. If we buy them the alchemy method and let them refine it themselves, we can help them save this money. ”

"Sister, you're pretending to be a magic stick to deceive! I won't let you do that! You are a good girl, what kind of god are you going to be? Hurry up and put these things away. ”

Mingjue heard the meaning of Sheng Mingyu's words, he didn't want his sister to go out to cheat and cheat other people's money for him.

Mingjue wanted to strangle her method in the cradle.

Sheng Mingyu ignored him and continued to pack up the books on the ground.

"I've already thought about it, and as soon as the Miaoyuan Immortal Temple's puja meeting opens in a few days, I'll go through the recipe for alchemy. A piece of fifty taels. ”

Fifty taels of silver, sister, this is equivalent to robbing money.
