Chapter 146 - 146 Exalted (1)



146 Exalted (1)

As the saying went, there were three joys in life—getting onto the rankings, the wedding night, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Shen Chuan did not have a chance to do the first two for the time being, but he caught up to the last one. It would be a lie to say that he was not happy.

...

He treated Su Xiaoxiao and the others to a meal at the White Cloud Pavilion, the most famous restaurant in the prefecture.

The food at the White Cloud Pavilion was not bad. Manager Sun had been here a few times.

Shen Chuan had never lost in prodigality. He ordered a large table full of signature dishes.

“Is it good?” Shen Chuan asked.

“Delicious,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Ergou thought to himself that they were clearly not as delicious as the food she made.

Su Xiaoxiao was on a diet and couldn’t eat too much. She stopped eating the rest of the dishes and slowly pecked at the bean sprouts in her bowl.

Shen Chuan said, “I haven’t asked you. What business are you here for?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Oh, it’s to make snacks at the Wang family’s banquet.”

Shen Chuan said in surprise, “The Wang family? The Wang family that owns the cloth shop?”

Su Xiaoxiao: “Yes.”

Shen Chuan’s eyes widened. “Oh my god, you’re too amazing!”

This was more than just amazing. It was simply heaven-defying, okay?

After all, she had only set up a stall to do business for two months, but she was already welcomed by the rich Wang family.

“Is the price high?” Shen Chuan was not interested in other people’s matters, but he was quite gossipy about Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao said lightly, “Not much, 40 to 50 taels.”

Shen Chuan was dumbfounded. Wasn’t 40 to 50 taels a lot? She was too arrogant!

Manager Sun laughed. They had smashed a room full of furniture. They had to pay 50 taels in compensation. They had even lost five taels.

Shen Chuan was full of admiration. “The Wang family has a lot of connections. You guys should have negotiated a lot of other businesses at his family’s banquet, right?”

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to save face. “Yes, there’s also the Zhao family and the coming-of-age ceremony. I don’t remember the other two.”

Manager Sun continued to laugh. Yes, they accepted orders, but they were all canceled.

After dinner, it was still early.

Shen Chuan wanted to take her around the prefectural city, but she shook her head and refused. “I have to go to Qingyun Nunnery to deliver something for someone.”

At this point, Shen Chuan could not force her to stay.

However, when he went to check out, he was told that the bill had been paid.

Shen Chuan looked at the carriage that was gradually driving away and felt a little upset. “I promised to be the host…”

“Young lady, creditor, boss, how should I address you?”

In the carriage, Manager Sun smiled insincerely. “We lost 5 taels. The meal just now was 5 taels. Today, we have a negative profit of 10 taels. Do you have too much money to burn? How about letting me return only twenty taels?”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him. “If you dare to give me one copper coin less, try it!”

She felt that Shen Chuan’s life in the prefecture was not as comfortable as she had imagined.

At seven o’clock, the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Qingyun Nunnery was located halfway up the mountain. They climbed for more than an hour before they finally entered the nunnery hall.

Manager Sun was so tired that he was panting like an ox: “If I had known… If I had known it was so tiring… I would have accompanied Xiaowu… to rest in the carriage… What did I do… I wanted to join in the fun with the two of you…”

Su Xiaoxiao was also panting, but not as hard as him.

The last time she fought with the tiger, she seemed to have broken through the limits of her physical fitness. She could feel that her physical fitness had increased by another level.

Su Ergou was jumping around and looking around.

The nunnery was not as interesting as the bustling marketplace. He felt bored after a few glances.

Qingyun Nunnery had been around for a long time. The bricks and tiles were old and rusted, and they were showing signs of being eroded by time. Green moss grew on the limestone slabs in the corner, and one might slip on rainy days.

Su Xiaoxiao entered the nunnery.

A little nun who was sweeping the courtyard looked up at them. “Patron, are you here to offer incense?”

Su Xiaoxiao took out a letter from her pocket. “I’m looking for Grandmaster Hui Jue. An old friend with the surname Fu asked me to bring something to her. This is a letter from that old friend. Grandmaster Hui Jue will know who it is after reading it.”

“Oh… Patron, please wait a moment.” The little nun put down the broom, took the letter, and walked through the hall to the meditation room in the back row.

After a while, she turned back and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Patron, please come in.”

In a meditation room, Su Xiaoxiao saw a nun who was about the same age as Madam Fu.

Perhaps it was because she was a nun, but she looked very calm and peaceful.

“Grandmaster Hui Jue,” Su Xiaoxiao greeted.

Grandmaster Hui Jue sat at the table. She put down Madam Fu’s letter and looked at Su Xiaoxiao gently and kindly. “Little Patron Su, please sit.”
