10. Planning (Please Read Later)

Details determine everything.

After getting married, you should dress like a woman.

Zhao Yunniang now dresses in a low-key and simple manner, which is a respect for her "deceased husband".

If she dresses up like she did last time...,

she is not even willing to do the superficial work...

"Yunniang..."

"After I am pardoned and released from prison, I will take good care of you and the baby in my belly."

Xu Xing's eyes showed tenderness. He stretched out his right hand from the iron fence, gently stroked Zhao Yunniang's hair at the temples, and put it behind her ears.

His words were seven parts sincere and three parts false.

If Zhao Yunniang treated him sincerely, he would not be a heartless man.

But the key to the problem is that Zhao Yunniang's identity is questionable. She may not only be a prostitute in Wangyue Tower, but also a spy under Han Sui.

As a person, you have to be more careful, otherwise it would be sad to help count money after being sold.

Scholars have dirty hearts.

Scholars who are officials have even dirtier hearts.

…

At night.

The prison cell was hung with red curtains again.

Another night of love.

…

The next day, when she woke up in the morning.

Zhao Yunniang put on her clothes and caressed the cheek of the comatose Xu Xing.

She took Musk Dragon Powder again.

Her husband had a dark complexion and his blood was withered. It was obvious that he didn't have much time left.

Unexpectedly.

As soon as her hand left Xu Xing's cheek, Xu Xing grabbed it tightly.

This time.

Xu Xing woke up earlier than Zhao Yunniang.

He glanced at Zhao Yunniang, who looked surprised, coughed heavily, and said:

"I have been the stable manager for two years."

"During this time, I saved a little silver, not much, only more than 200 taels."

"I didn't put this money in the rental house..., come closer to my ear."

The two talked close to each other, rubbing their ears.

Zhao Yunniang's beautiful face was flushed, as beautiful as a flower.

"I have too much health deficit."

"You can take 100 taels of this 200 taels for your own use, and the rest of the money will be sent to the Tianlao at intervals, so that I can eat better, preferably with meat..."

After talking about the treasure hiding place, Xu Xing got straight to the point.

The Emperor Chongming's favorite daughter Princess Anren got married, and the dog emperor wanted to amnesty the whole country in order to accumulate blessings. However, the matter of the offending official was serious, and the court did not dare to pardon him easily, but it also temporarily spared his death.

The contradiction between him and Han Sui now is that Han Sui wants him to die early, take the big case of corruption in the Imperial Household Department, and prove that the shortage of war horses is due to him.

As for what Zhao Yunniang said yesterday that Han Sui was trying his best to save him...,

it's unlikely to think about it.

The money and favors required to operate and open up the bureaucratic system of the Ministry of Justice and even the three judicial departments are not something that a small eighth-rank stable official like him can repay. As far as he knows, Han Sui is not a person who buys horse bones for thousands of gold.

So these words are mostly perfunctory to him and comfort him.

This is why he is still wary of Zhao Yunniang.

If you take too much Musk Dragon Powder, you will die sooner or later...

The wine and dishes that Zhao Yunniang brought this time are proof of this.

If he is really a rookie in the officialdom, he might really be fooled by Han Sui.

"Yes, husband..."

"I know."

Zhao Yunniang hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head and agreed.

The deficiency in the body cannot be made up just by saying it can be made up.

Just eating some meat without any medicine is just a drop in the bucket for Xu Xing's body.

Musk Dragon Powder, if you take too much, even gods can't save you.

After this speech.

Zhao Yunniang gathered her skirt and left the prison.

"Mr. Su."

"I have an unwelcome request, I wonder if Mr. Su can agree."

After Zhao Yunniang left, Xu Xing walked to the neighboring prisoner, bowed deeply to Mr. Su, and said.

Scholar Su was taking a nap. The noise next door made him unable to fall asleep last night.

He opened his eyes and saw this scene. He secretly groaned and felt embarrassed.

Although Xu Xing was a low-ranking official, the case he committed was a rare serious case in the three hundred years since the founding of the country. Even if he knew that Xu Xing was wronged, he spoke out for justice. It was not terrible to lose his life, but it was terrible if the life of the entire Su clan was killed...

A single hair moved the whole body.

"Why did I eat his food..."

"I must repay the kindness of a meal. Sooner or later, I will be killed by this mouth."

Scholar Su cursed himself secretly.

But at this moment, he couldn't pretend to sleep anymore. He stood up and asked, "What is your unwelcome request, Lord Xu?"

He changed the address of Xu Xing from "Xu Xiaozi" to "Lord Xu".

Intended to draw a clear line with Xu Xing.

The implication was that Xu Xing should face the reality and not make things difficult for him.

"I will soon be dead."

"As the saying goes, meritorious deeds, words and virtues are the three immortals. I am good at mathematics, and I want to compile my life's learning into a book before I die, and pass it on to future generations. But Su Xueshi also knows that the prison does not allow us to carry pens and paper..."

"But you are different, Su Xueshi."

"Su Xueshi's literary reputation spreads all over the world, if you can..."

Xu Xing bowed deeply.

When these words came out.

Su Xueshi could not help but be moved.

First, he admired Xu Xing's righteousness.

Second, he was ashamed of his own little thoughts.

Xu Xing passed the arithmetic exam.

It can be said that in terms of the attainments in mathematics, there are very few people in Fengxi who can surpass Xu Xing. And Xu Xing said that he has studied mathematics for many years and wants to compile what he has learned into a book and pass it on to future generations.

This is true.

Scholars all care about fame and fortune.

One of the three immortals, making a statement, makes all scholars in the world yearn for it.

Even if mathematics is a minor path, it can be regarded as making a statement.

"I will report to Your Majesty and allow Lord Xu to compile a mathematical book in Tianlao."

Su Xueshi returned a salute and said.

Although Tianlao cannot have paper and pen, they are prisoners and have different status.

They have the power to submit memorials to the emperor.

However, this memorial is not handed directly to the emperor.

Instead, it goes through the process of the Night Patrol.

It is first handed over to the commander of the Night Patrol, and after the commander checks it, it is personally presented to the emperor.

Otherwise, everyone in Tianlao has grievances, and the emperor will be busy checking the memorials.

Xu Xing's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly stopped Su Xueshi and said, "Your Majesty is worrying about Princess Anren's marriage, and he has to take care of the government affairs, so it's hard to be distracted. Don't bother your Majesty with this little thing."

The group of nobles in the Night Patrol are all drunkards, and they don't know the importance of mathematics. It's not known when they will submit the memorial to the emperor...

"Lord Xu wants to..."

Scholar Su heard that Xu Xing had something to say.

"To be honest with you, Scholar Su, I heard that Scholar Su and Prime Minister Ouyang are close friends."

"Please do me a favor, Scholar Su. I am grateful and will mention Scholar Su's contribution in the preface."

Xu Xing bowed again and spoke frankly.

"It's Brother Ouyang..."

After hearing this, Scholar Su felt that Xu Xing was trying to curry favor with the powerful and was not a gentleman.

But when he thought that Xu Xing was passing on his knowledge to future generations, this little dissatisfaction was gone with the wind. Besides, he was grateful for what he had received, and he was also grateful for what he had received. He had gotten a lot of free food from Xu Xing in the past few days, so it would be inappropriate for him not to help him with this little favor.
