The next day, Changgong Wu received a letter.
In this letter, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital invited the young genius doctor to a gathering.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was very smart. He heard from somewhere that the young miracle doctor first appeared in the Yong’an Temple, and that it was Zhong Ganping who provided disaster relief porridge in the Yong’an Temple. He guessed that Zhong Ganping might have some clues.
Zhong Ganping got the letter, but didn’t know how to contact the unknown young doctor, so he had to find Changgong Wu.
After several twists and turns, the identity of the young genius doctor remained unknown. Lu Huan took the letter from Changgong Wu and unfolded it. Su Xi received the fifth main task of the system.
“Please accept the main mission five (beginner): Please make friends with the Minister of Revenue and become one of his trusted staff members.”
“Difficulty level 3 stars, gold coin reward 100, point reward 2.”
When Su Xi saw that the reward points were so small, she knew that this task was relatively simple.
After all, the thirteen packets of medicine that the cub had given had saved the little daughter of the Minister of Revenue. This little daughter was the Minister of Revenue’s favorite, so he was naturally very grateful for this saving grace.
The cub hardly had to do anything, just go to the appointment and he could get to know the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Su Xi opened the information of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and found out that this Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was actually an old enemy of the Ning Wang Mansion.
The reason was simple. Many years ago, Ning Wang fell in love with the daughter of the governor, who was beautiful and famous in the capital. But later, the daughter of the governor became the wife of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Ning Wang was resentful and was extremely jealous when he met his rival, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Ning Wang’s wife was not as pretty as the governor’s daughter, so naturally she was particularly jealous of him.
As a result, the two mansions became enemies.
However, in recent years, the Ning Wang Mansion had been on a downward trend, while the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue had been in high spirits. He was recently promoted to the rank of Shangshu[1] in the court. Not only that, his eldest daughter, whom he sent to the palace, had become the emperor’s most beloved concubine.
Therefore, in the court, no one disrespected the Minister of Revenue.
…In summary, the Minister of Revenue was now a first-rank official, and he had the Fifth Prince and the Imperial Concubine as his backers, so he was considered a very powerful figure in the capital.
In the letter, he expressed his gratitude profusely, treated the doctor with respect, and valued the legendary young miracle doctor very much.
It would certainly not do any harm for the cub to make some friends.
Su Xi thought so, then obviously, the cub, who received the letter, frowned for a moment, folded the letter and burned it, thinking the same thing.
He returned to the firewood yard and ordered Guard Bing to move the chickens and crops in his yard to the farm outside the city at night while the mansion was in turmoil. Then he put on a traveling cloak, covered his face, and prepared to go to the appointment.
To show his sincerity, the Minister of Revenue decided to meet at Zhong Ganping’s home, without bringing any guards or servants.
Su Xi saw the cub going to a date outside the screen and was about to follow him, but the screen wouldn’t switch.
She didn’t unlock Zhong Ganping’s mansion!
And there was no chance left to unlock it. In order to watch the show, she wasted her last chance to unlock it in the grove outside the city!
The system suddenly said, “Who made you so naive that you had to watch the wife of Ning Wang kowtow three times and prostrate nine times with your own eyes.”
Su Xi: “Shut up.”
Su Xi was so sad that she could not even cry. She had no way to follow the cub to Zhong Ganping’s residence to see what the cub had talked about with the Minister of Revenue. She had no choice but to log off and come back online when the cub came back in the evening.
Before going offline, she switched to the cub’s house.
She searched in the hollow, inconspicuous area in the middle of one of the table legs and found a very small box.
Although no one had approached this courtyard since the old lady gave the order, the cub was still very vigilant, worried that their communication would be discovered. So he wrote a note before and agreed with her to hide the note inside the table leg. There was also a wooden baffle outside so it would not be easily discovered.
Since the cub discovered that he could communicate with her by asking questions and placing the pen in different places last night, it was like a new world had opened up to him, and he wanted to ask her hundreds of questions at once. But perhaps because he had to remain reserved, he didn’t ask that many questions.
There were two questions on the paper left in the small box at this time.
——”I saved Lu Wenxiu as promised. Although this was not what I wanted, it is enough that you are happy.
If you like, you can put the brush to the left of the paper and inkstone.”
Su Xi was wondering in her heart, since when did the cub start to care about her happiness and her emotions? Wasn’t this right? Or was the cub seeking praise?
The memory quickly emerged in Su Xi’s mind, that day when the cub rescued Fourth Aunt concubine’s daughter from the stream, he didn’t get any praise. There was no expression on his face, he just frowned and returned to the firewood yard alone.
…Yes, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what he did, he was a hundred times better than Lu Yu’an and Lu Wenxiu, but still no one had ever praised him.
Su Xi couldn’t bear to think about it and quickly took out all the pens on the cub’s desk. She also bought a bunch of brushes from the mall and threw them all to the left of the paper and inkstone.
There were twelve pens stacked together.
Happy, happy, grandma is very happy! Happy x12!
The problem with the second note was.
——”If you find this question difficult, you don’t have to answer it. But if I’m not mistaken, you can read and write, and you are willing to communicate with me, but for some reason, you can’t leave a written answer to me, right?”
This note was written by the cub this morning. You could tell that he wrote very slowly, as if he was carefully choosing each word and thinking about something.
When Su Xi saw this question, her eyelids suddenly jumped.
…The cub is almost right! This level of artificial intelligence simulation made Su Xi tremble with fear.
