Shocked! After planting, a sickly and charming first assistant will grow up.

"Bold! Do you know who is sitting here?"

Seeing that she dared to glare at Lu Xiao with raised eyebrows, the guard stepped forward to stop her. Lu Xiao waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and his tone was gentle and elegant:

"Girl, watch your step!"

"Hmph! Mind your own business!" After Mo Hua finished speaking, he rushed out of the No. 1 Scholar Building without looking back.

This was just a small episode, and neither the master nor the servant cared about it.

Three days later, Lu Xiao broke up with Jiang Keyuan on bad terms again and went out to relax alone. When passing by an alley, many people gathered around it.

At one glance, he realized that it was a drama about selling one's body to bury his father, and he lost interest.

A woman wearing sackcloth and mourning knelt beside the body covered with white cloth, sobbing.

"Any kind-hearted person can help the little girl bury her father. The little girl is willing to work as an ox or a horse in return."

The crowd was just watching the fun, and no one came forward. Just as Lu Xiao was about to leave, a voice appeared in the crowd that sounded familiar to him:

"This is two taels of silver. Take it and bury your father properly!"

Lu Xiao raised his eyes and happened to see the ink painting with a compassionate look on his face, handing out some money. After thinking about it for a while, he realized, wasn't this the girl who dressed up as a man in the No. 1 Scholar Building that day?

Her face was still the same, but today she changed into women's clothes and looked even more graceful and pretty.

Lu Xiao originally wanted to leave, but the woman who sold her body to bury her father grabbed the broken silver and begged Mo Hua.

"This kind lady, I want to send the Buddha to the West. Can you help me bury my father? From now on, Xiao Ling will be yours in life and your ghost in death."

Mo Hua agreed without hesitation, and the two women lifted the door panel and walked out of the city.

However, Lu Xiao was keenly aware that something was not simple. Several strong men who looked like they were not good people were secretly following him in the corner.

Nine of the ten people in the capital who sold their bodies to bury their fathers cheated money, and there was one who cheated people and money, and specialized in luring ignorant girls out of the city, knocking them unconscious and selling them into a brothel.

Mo Hua was probably unlucky enough to meet the latter.

It's not that there are no clues around him, but who would offend a desperado for a stranger? Soon they all dispersed.

No matter how strong the two women were, they had to stop and take a break after carrying the door panel for a hundred meters.

When he stopped to rest again, Lu Xiao watched Mo Hua's face glowing softly, comforting the liar with a gentle voice, and walked forward with a smile.

"Girl, do you still remember me?"

Mo Hua raised his eyes blankly and shook his head.

It was just a one-time relationship. Lu Xiao was not angry because the other party didn't remember him. He just said, "Follow me. I have something important to tell you."

Mo Hua hesitated, "But this way?"

"It doesn't matter, my guards will help this orphan girl bury her father." Lu Xiao's sharp eyes shot towards Xiao Baihua who sold herself to bury her father.

Upon hearing that this was a marquis, Xiao Baihua cowered and did not dare to refute, and the desperadoes who were following him from a short distance could only stop their activities.

Cursing words like 'what a bad luck'.

Lu Xiao led people to the corner and pointed at the desperadoes, "Look, do you know what the consequences will be if you follow them out of the city?"

Mo Hua put on an "unexpected" expression with lingering fear, and bowed to Lu Xiao, "Thank you for seeing the rough road, otherwise I might not be able to escape today."

After hesitating for a while, he said, "My home is not far from here. If my benefactor doesn't mind, why don't you come and sit at my house for a while." Then the conversation changed:

"Of course, if something happens to you, forget it. Ke'er will definitely remember his benefactor's life-saving grace and repay the favor if he has the opportunity."

Seeing that she was just being polite and didn't want to invite him into the house, Lu Xiao became very playful and had nowhere to go...

He smiled and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

After saying that, I saw that the woman named Ke'er had a look of astonishment on her face, and then she led the way very frustrated.

Not long after walking, the two stopped outside a somewhat dilapidated old courtyard and opened the lock on the door, revealing a very clean courtyard inside.

There was no intention of inviting anyone into the house. The two of them sat across from each other at the stone table in the courtyard. Neither of them spoke, making the situation awkward.

Lu Xiao coughed slightly and regretted his whim, so he decided to leave after just saying a few words.

"Honey! Selling one's body to bury one's father is not allowed within the boundaries of the capital. If you encounter her in the future, run away as soon as possible. Be careful when you go out recently. It's best to have family members accompany you."

Mo Hua rubbed the cup wall with his fingertips and smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "I'm not stupid, I just had the same experience and I couldn't bear it for a while."

Mo Hua spoke eloquently, which stopped Lu Xiao from leaving.

"The little girl's name is Mo Ke Hua. Her father was once the second best in Jinke, and was later assigned to Shuguang Township in the north as the county magistrate. My father and brother died in the flood fight to protect the people."

"At that time, there were many people dying of hunger in the north. I knelt down and begged for help in burying my father and brother."

"To save others by oneself, I was impulsive just now, thank you benefactor for helping me."

Lu Xiao was a little moved when he heard that it turned out to be a poor orphan girl, and asked softly:

"Then you came to Beijing to visit relatives? If you can't find anyone, maybe I can help you."

Unexpectedly, Mo Hua shook his head and his eyes turned red, "My brother's biggest regret during his lifetime was that he could not come to the capital to participate in the examination. As long as I am alive, I want to help my brother fulfill his last wish."

No wonder she appeared in Zhuangyuan Building disguised as a man that day. Lu Xiao was speechless.

"It is a serious crime to take someone else's place in the imperial examination. There will be a body search before admission. You cannot succeed."

"Yes! It failed..." Mo Hua's eyes became redder and redder, "It failed in the first step."

She cried very skillfully, not hysterically like Jiang Keyuan, nor the sobs of a lady.

His eyes were red, leaving Lu Xiao at a loss and feeling a little distressed. He couldn't help but change the subject, "Then what are your plans for the future?"

"Plan it!" Mo Hua forced back tears and stretched, making a lost expression, holding his face with both hands.

"After watching the results released by Jinke, I will go back to my hometown! My talents cannot be wasted. I want to open an academy to teach and educate people."

He also wanted to take the imperial examination for his brother and also wanted to teach and educate people. All he thought about were things that only men can do. Lu Xiao was speechless again and reminded:

"Teachers are generally men."

After saying that, Mo Hua was stunned for a moment. His mood, which had just recovered a little, was visibly sluggish, and his voice was hollow:

"Yes! Then what else can I do?"

Lu Xiao's eyes turned red again when he saw her. He secretly hated himself for speaking too quickly and racked his brains to coax her: "It would be nice to open a girls' school!"

"I have seen you doing academic work in Zhuangyuan Building. With your talent, you can open a women's academy and teach the daughters of big families piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. There are many such academies near the capital."

Seeing him racking his brains, Mo Hua secretly curled his lips and put on a very interested expression full of expectation:

"Really? Can you tell me more specifically?"

This Lu Xiao really knew something. When he saw the other party burst into laughter, he let go of his heartache and began to tell Mo Hua some information about the girls' school he knew.

The little woman's eyes were sparkling, and her face looked full of admiration and admiration. Lu Xiao's machismo was satisfied, and before he knew it, it was getting late.

Mo Hua stood up and said, "It's getting late. My benefactor will stay for a light meal. I will cook it myself."

The northern taste of heavy oil, heavy salt and full of soy sauce made Lu Xiao feel full. When he returned to the house, he didn't go to the main courtyard and went straight back to the study.

In the middle of the night, Lu Xiao was woken up by peeing. When he opened his eyes, he saw a dark shadow dangling outside the bead curtain. He almost couldn't hold back his pee and gave it to the other party to wash his face...
