"Brother Shiqin, I am from the imperial capital. My grandfather worked in the Zhongtai Hospital of the Imperial Palace, and my father was also an official in the court. Perhaps it was God's will that even though my grandfather and father were honest, they were still involved in the partisan disputes between the court and China. So my family members... As for me? Maybe those noble people showed mercy, maybe they wanted to see me live like an ant in the world. In short, I was pardoned. Then I wandered all the way. I was once trapped in a southern village I was taken in by a kind-hearted family, but it didn't last long. That family originally wanted to adopt me as their daughter, but I was kicked out after they became pregnant with their own child... Finally, I came to heaven. Shengcheng, Shopkeeper He took me in and gave me a place to go. Shopkeeper He also gave me my life. From now on, I will obey him no matter what he asks me to do." Shen Xia cried with tears in her eyes and said: Anxious, he grabbed He Shiqin's clothes with both hands: "Brother Shiqin, shopkeeper He and Doctor Zhang don't know about my family's affairs. Please don't tell them. I have been wandering in the world like duckweed for a long time. Now, I finally found a place to go, and I won’t cause any trouble to Deji Hall.”

Doesn't this give all the handles to oneself? He Shiqin was secretly happy in his heart, but he was feigning anger on his face: "Chen Xia! You are harming people!" He Shiqin pulled the material of his clothes out of Shen Xia's hands: "Chen Xia! Do you know what you are doing? Wan If the people from the Imperial Capital come after you, you are harming people!"

Shen Xia cried even harder and said with choked sobs: "No... no, I can guarantee that people from the dynasty will not come to arrest me. Really, I swear!" Shen Xia did not tell lies. She made up all those experiences. People in the imperial capital didn't even recognize her, so why come here to arrest her?

"Alas~" He Shiqin let out a long sigh, "Chen Xia, what do you want me to do? You are really pitiful, but you can't drag us into the water? What do you want us to do?"

Shen Xia quickly said: "Brother Shiqin, do you really believe me? The emperor ordered a pardon at that time, so everything will be fine! I, I, I promise, I will do whatever you want me to do, okay? , as long as you don’t tell Shopkeeper He and Doctor Zhang about this, please.”

Look, it's easy to handle. He Shiqin felt that the position of the shopkeeper of Deji Hall was already waving to him. So He Shiqin patted Shen Xia on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Sister Shen, I also think you are a pitiful person. When you are in Deji Hall, I also believe that you are doing it for the good of Deji Hall. It's not like I can't cover for you." ,but......"

After hearing this, Shen Xia took another step forward and said pitifully: "Brother Shiqin, believe me, I will definitely be obedient!"

Since the two of them talked about this topic while shopping, they naturally attracted a lot of attention from passers-by on the street because of their good looks. The two made a lot of noise. Seeing Shen Xia crying, passers-by subconsciously regarded her as the victim. , many people have already pointed fingers at He Shiqin.

Perhaps He Shiqin was a little embarrassed, so he stood aside and said, "Okay, Shen Xia, don't cry. Everyone else is watching. I didn't do anything to you. I just won't report you." Shen Xia He quickly wiped away his tears and turned around with a bright smile: "Brother Shiqin, thank you~"

When He Shiqin saw that Shen Xia was fine, he stepped forward and Shen Xia quickly followed. After walking out of the street, He Shiqin also slowed down. When Shen Xia came to his side, he asked: "Chen Xia, You said before that many people gave gifts to your father, what did they give?" He Shiqin asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Ah, let me think about it..." Shen Xia looked like she was thinking seriously, "Memory beads, Yao Guang Ling, Shark Weeping Beads... Do these count? Anyway, they were all in the house before. There are boxes after boxes, and they should all be kept in the treasury now. I wonder if I will see them again in my lifetime..." Shen Xia said with a look of regret. In fact, she has never seen these things before. Before the manual customer service was activated, the system once gave her a price list. She had a glimpse of the content on it. At that time, she remembered several high-priced ones. Now it is for her. It’s a good time to “add bricks and mortar”.

If He Shiqin originally had some doubts about Shen Xia's words, but as Shen Xia said the names of these strange objects lightly and with the indifferent look on her face, He Shiqin was basically sure that what Shen Xia said was true. . How do ordinary people have access to these things?

"So Sister Shen," He Shiqin was still talking in circles with Shen Xia, "What do they usually ask your father for?"

"There's everything! All kinds of assessments, ceremonies, and envoy receptions." Shen Xia smiled with a harmless look on her face.

Is this how you are still honest? He Shiqin has doubts about the word "incorruptible". His grandfather is an imperial doctor in the palace, and his father sounds like he has more power in the court than one person and more than ten thousand people. The amount of gifts his family receives is almost as much as the national treasury. He Shiqin Suddenly everyone understood why Shen Xia's house was ransacked. But he just heard what he wanted to hear.

"Sister Shen," He Shiqin and Shen Xia walked closer, "Do you still remember what those people gave your father when he evaluated the officials?"

Dangdang~ Shen Xia raised her eyebrows slightly. Sure enough, her guess was correct. Why did she suddenly contact her father who had not been in contact for many years when she went to Tianguan Sect to study? And he proposed to take over Deji Hall right from the beginning. How much money would it cost to seriously cultivate an immortal? Shen Xia has never practiced immortality and doesn't know how much it will cost, but it is absolutely impossible to say that it will cost as much as He Shiqin. Judging from the reactions of shopkeeper He and He Shiqin, He Shiqin's mother should be a strong career woman, and He Shiqin's clothes are made of fine materials. She will definitely not be short of money for normal cultivation and daily expenses.

In order to confirm her suspicion, Shen Xia asked: "Ah, brother Shiqin, why are you asking this? Do you also want to give gifts to others? Or do others want to give gifts to you?"

He Shiqin was a little speechless. He didn't want to explain the reason to Shen Xia, but he also urgently needed reference. After all, this gift-giving was not a trivial matter. It was a major matter related to whether he could become an inner disciple of Tianguan Sect, so he could only answer vaguely. : "Ah, it's not me, it's a friend of mine. Yes, my friend. He was asking me how to give gifts a while ago. Isn't this what you mentioned?"

"Oh, that's it~ I'm just saying that Brother Shiqin is so beautiful and talented, why do you need to give gifts to others? Others should be here to please Brother Shiqin!" Shen Xia felt that she was further away from the truth. Taking a step closer, the mission is really not challenging. It won't end just after it starts, right?

"Brother Shiqin, who does your friend need to give gifts to? Speaking of which, although I have never seen my father give gifts, he sometimes accepts them and sometimes refuses them. I remember one time someone sent a horse I wanted ice silk very much, but my father wouldn't accept it. I was still arguing for a long time. I remember my father told me..." Shen Xia stopped on purpose.

"What did you say?" He Shiqin asked.

"Say, 'The rat has a body, but the man is rude! The man is rude, how can he die?'"

He Shiqin felt his heart tightening after hearing this.
