Lin 'an City.
An Jing had approached the protagonist with ulterior motives. If she were to become sworn brothers with him, she would be too much of a scumbag. She didn't have any conscience left, so she really didn't wish to get too close to Lin Shuming. So, on the way to the temple, she decided to join in the fun and be a good person.
Most of the scholars in Lin 'an City were busy studying, so there weren't many big things happening in Lin' an City. So, when she saw people watching, Anjing immediately pulled Lin Shuming over, hoping to make him forget about becoming sworn brothers with this hot topic.
Seeing a burly man with an unshaven beard kneeling in front of World Salvation Hall with a sickly and unconscious woman in his arms, looking rather pitiful, An Jing frowned and asked, "Auntie, what happened?"
"This is Da Niu and his wife from the neighboring town. Since his wife lost her child, she has been seriously ill. It is said that she needs hundred-year-old ginseng to take good care of her. This is a disease of the rich, and it costs a lot of money to cure her. But Da Niu doesn't have money. He runs a pharmacy, not a charity. Naturally, he doesn't want to take out precious herbs to cure her.
Da Niu works as a coolie at the docks, but he still can't earn much money. He has no other choice, so he kneels here and wants to sell himself to save his wife. Tsk, tsk, he is so stupid! His wife can't give birth even if she is saved. If she can't be saved, his life will be over! "The auntie curled her lips and said.
Hearing this, Anjing frowned. The reason why women in this world had such a difficult life was that, in addition to men making things difficult for women, the most terrible thing was that women also made things difficult for other women! But she was just an outsider in this world who couldn't control herself. She couldn't be a savior. So, although she didn't agree with it, she didn't stupidly show it.
"Brother Ming, they are so pitiful and touching. I have decided to buy him!" Anjing didn't forget her purpose of joining in the fun. Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, from the fact that he was willing to sell himself to save his wife, he should be a loyal person. It should be reliable to buy such a person as an underling!
After that, Anjing rejected Lin Shuming's proposal with the excuse that he needed to buy life-saving medicine for his new servant and sign a contract to sell himself. He also made it clear that the brotherhood between them was in their hearts, and that there was no need for such formality between them.
Seeing that Lin Shuming was finally satisfied and was tricked away by her, Anjing secretly let out a sigh of relief. After the doctor prescribed a few hundred taels worth of medicine, he called for Brother Beard to carry his wife to her other courtyard.
Hearing Dengtuzi's footsteps getting further and further away, Han Qi, who was in Jishi Hall, suddenly frowned and asked, "What does that Xu Daniu look like?"
Although the old doctor who prescribed the medicine didn't understand, he still replied, "He looks like an ordinary person!"
Han Qi frowned. He thought that Dengtuzi Anjing was coveting Xu Daniu's beauty. Was he mistaken?
"What about that Young Master An? What does he look like? " Although he had only met Anjing once, Han Qi remembered his breath and voice. Other than the fact that Anjing foolishly took liberties with him, which left a deep impression on him, he also took liberties with another man. His shamelessness left a deep impression on him!
Thinking of Anjing's generosity and kindness, the old doctor praised, "An elegant scholar with a jade-like temperament. It's easy for people to have a good impression of him!"
How was that possible! Han Qi couldn't connect the man the old doctor was talking about with Anjing. Could it be that the old doctor's eyes were blurred?
Han Qi remembered that the man beside Dengtuzi was Lin Shuming, the man who had been flirted with the other day. He couldn't help but ask, "What does the man beside Young Master An look like?"
The old doctor stroked his beard and said seriously, "He's a handsome gentleman with a noble aura."
"Compared to me?" Han Qi continued to ask.
The old doctor said respectfully, "Young Master Han's heavenly appearance is very rare in the world! Young Master naturally can't compare to you! "
Hearing this, Han Qi frowned in dissatisfaction. That Anjing also called Lin Shuming a beauty. So, was he a blind and promiscuous Dengtuzi?
In reality, Han Qi wanted to buy Xu Daniu as a servant just now. Aside from the old doctor praising him for his loyalty, Xu Daniu was also a scholar who applied for the Lin 'an Academy. This made him very satisfied. Having a servant at the Academy would save him a lot of trouble.
However, he didn't expect that Anjing would beat him to it while he was trying to fork out the money. As a result, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He couldn't help but secretly hate Anjing. Thinking about it, that Anjing was also a scholar who applied for the Lin 'an Academy. He hoped that he wouldn't meet him again. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't let him off easily!
"My name is Anjing. You can call me Lord An in the future. You can stay in this wing for the time being. You can use the kitchen as you wish. " Seeing that the bearded man's gaze never left his wife, Anjing couldn't order him around. He pointed to his own wing and said, "That's where I'm staying. You can't go in there at any time. This thirty taels is also your payment in advance. As for the rest, we'll talk about it after your wife recovers! "
Seeing that Anjing was about to turn and leave, the bearded man hurriedly called out to her, "Lord An, shouldn't we go and sign a slave contract?"
Anjing turned around and waved her hand carelessly, "There's no need. I believe in you." At that time, she was just anxious to find a reason to get rid of Lin Shuming. Finding an underling was just a matter of convenience.
When the bearded man heard this, he was so grateful that tears welled up in his eyes. He was so desperate that he wanted to leave this world with his wife. Thus, Lord An was his and his wife's savior!
He hurriedly knelt down and swore a vicious oath, "I, Xu Fan, swear that I will follow Lord Anjing for the rest of my life. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
When the bearded man knelt down, Anjing didn't react at all. Moreover, she was a little far away. When she wanted to stop him, he had already finished swearing the oath.
"You're saying that your name is Xu Fan?" Anjing was dumbfounded as she asked, "This, this name sounds like a scholar's name."
"My original name was Xu Daniu. Later on, I was fortunate enough to study for two years, so I changed my name to a scholar. I hope Lord An won't laugh at me." Xu Fan scratched his head in embarrassment.
Upon hearing that, although she was unable to connect the destitute Brother Beard in front of her with the future Great General, An Jing couldn't suppress the pleasant surprise in her heart. She had unintentionally saved the future Great General of the Great Qi Kingdom. She had definitely struck it rich!
After finding out that the bearded man was Xu Fan, Anjing silently improved his treatment. She specially hired two old maids to take care of his wife. She also encouraged him not to give up on his studies so easily and to try to get into the Lin 'an Academy this year.
Ever since the results of the Lin 'an Academy's entrance exam came out, Anjing had been in a state of euphoria. She had come in first in the mathematics group. Apparently, the first place of each group had their own private bathhouse!
