The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Lu Zhaoling walked over, opened the lid of the bamboo basket, and was surprised to see the sugar cane in a wooden bowl inside.

"Is this sweet? It looks delicious. Let me try it."

She just picked one up and took a bite.

Sweet with a slightly crispy taste.

"It's really delicious." She said to Xiaoyu with a smile, "Thank you. You came at the right time. We are also preparing to eat. You can take some back to your grandfather."

As she said that, she asked Qingyin and the others to serve the food.

When it comes to eating, Lu Zhaoling never compromises herself.

She asked the shopkeeper to buy all the good local ingredients that could be found in the city, and prepared several tables of dishes.

Xiaoyu, none of the locals had ever seen these dishes.

"No, no, I'm leaving now..."

Xiaoyu was a little at a loss, especially when he saw more guards.

They are all tall and straight, and walk like the wind.

He was thin and lame, and compared to them, he felt like he really shouldn't be standing here.

It was not easy for Xiaoyu to get out, as he had always been quite inferior to others.

"Why are you being so polite to me? I was once taken in by your family." Lu Zhaoling stretched out her hand and pulled him to the table. "Sit down. I have something to tell you."

Xiaoyu didn't dare to sit down, he looked at Zhou Shiyue.

Zhou Shiyue noticed his look and said calmly, "Sit down."

Xiaoyu sat down immediately and didn't dare to disobey.

"You still listen to him more?"

Lu Zhaoling smiled and did not introduce Zhou Shiyue's identity.

"Wear the talisman I gave you at all times, eat well, and practice the boxing techniques that Qing Xiao taught you every day, and your health will improve."

However, his foot would not heal.

The assistant doctor is probably too old to learn to do those operations that break bones first and then reconnect them. There is also a greater risk of infection if such operations are performed here.

Xiaoyu nodded vigorously.

"Okay, I'll practice boxing well."

Zhou Shiyue served soup to Lu Zhaoling, glanced at him, and said, "If you have any problems, go find the county magistrate. He will help you if he can."

Xiaoyu looked at him in shock, County magistrate?

How did he get connected with the county magistrate? And how could he ask the county magistrate for help?

"There are some small errands at the county government office. When the time comes, ask the county magistrate to assign you a job. You can earn a few copper coins at least."

Zhou Shiyue asked Lu Zhaoling to drink soup again.

"Drink the soup first."

Lu Zhaoling looked at him blankly.

After she came back, she did tell Zhou Shiyue about her encounter with Xiaoyu's grandfather, and she followed Xiaoyu to the haunted house, so Zhou Shiyue knew about it.

But she didn't expect that Zhou Shiyue also helped Xiaoyu consider her future livelihood.

In fact, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin appears cold on the outside but is warm-hearted when facing others.

If others help him one point, he will give back ten points.

"Don't you have a neighbor?"

"Yes, call him Brother Xiaohai." Lu Zhaoling helped to answer.

"Call him along."

The little fish's eyes turned red.

Although he had the gold bars, he couldn't just live off them all. If he had no job, his grandfather would still be worried about him.

Grandpa was always worried that he would not be able to support himself in the future. But he really had no choice but to keep all these worries to himself and not dare to let his grandfather see him cry.

But will he have work to do in the future?

No matter what the job is, he will do it well!

Xiaoyu didn't know what to say for a moment. He stood up, took two steps back and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Shiyue.

"Stop him."

Zhou Shiyue said a word and Qinglin had already caught the little fish.

"No need to kowtow, just live a good life from now on." Zhou Shiyue said, and asked Qinglin to give him a purse.

"This is just a small reward for you. You are just a kid, you need to eat more to grow taller."

"No, no, I can't take it. Sister Lu has already given it to me..." Xiaoyu waved her hands quickly.

But how could anyone refuse something that Zhou Shiyue wanted to reward?

The purse was stuffed into his arms, and when Xiaoyu came out, he was carrying two food baskets.

This was lent to him by the shopkeeper.

He did not come alone, Brother Xiaohai accompanied him. However, when Brother Xiaohai saw the inn, he thought that the other party might be an important person from somewhere, so he was frightened and did not dare to follow him in.

He was squatting on the roadside not far outside, waiting.

Now seeing the little fish coming out, he hurried over to greet it.

“They won’t take the stuff?”

As soon as Brother Xiao Hai said this, he realized something was wrong, "No, this is not our bamboo basket."

These are two wooden food boxes.

Only rich people would use this kind of thing for food. Their two families couldn't even afford this. This thing was exquisite and could keep warm better.

"Brother Hai, one copy is for you."

Xiaoyu hadn't come back to his senses yet. He had clearly come here to show his appreciation, so why did he get so much more in return after giving such a small amount of food?

Brother Xiaohai opened the lid and took a look.

"Oh my god! What a nice smell! Meat!"

There was a big bowl of delicious meat on top, juicy and greasy! His mouth was watering.

And there is more than one layer, there must be more underneath.

"Not only that, Brother Hai, we have work to do..."

Brother Xiaohai took the things and carried them, while moving closer to him and listening to what he said. He felt as if his feet were stepping on cotton, light and dizzy.

"What did you say?"

"Really? Pinch me, why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

Brother Xiaohai's voice came one after another.

"Oh my God, Xiaoyu, you are such a blessed person! I knew that I would be right if I followed you!"

They gradually walked away.

However, there will be two more diligent and motivated young men in the small town in the future. They will run around the streets and alleys of the small town, posting various notices for the government, or going door to door to inform households of something.

When it snows, they look around to see if there is any snow accumulation or slippery roads, and put up warning signs.

During festivals such as the Lantern Festival, they helped officials maintain order and sometimes helped lost children find their parents.

They would spare no effort to help anyone who needed help. Xiaoyu's grandfather lived a long life and lived a comfortable life in his later years.

Whenever a caravan passed by, or an official was about to return to the capital for official business, they would ask them to bring some dry goods and deliver them to the Prince of Jin's palace.

Because at that time they had already learned the identities of Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling from the officials.

Originally, they thought that the things might not be delivered to Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue, and that the servants might have disposed of them. But that was also their thoughtfulness.

But later, they received a return gift from the Jin Wang Mansion in the capital. Such a return gift made the officials who helped deliver the gifts to the family look up to them.

By that time, the county magistrate had already been promoted.

Of course, that's all for later.

Lu Zhaoling and his friends left the town after dinner.

After being interrogated for a long time by the county magistrate in the yamen and detained for three days, Lan Yin was finally released.
