Chapter 29 Why am I only ranked third?
"Brother, I don't like what you said!"

Accurately picking out the voice of concern, Wan Zhanping said loudly:
"Do you know who is paying for this anecdote? They are the Fifth Princess and the Sixth Prince! The two princes are the sons of the emperor and the grandsons of the phoenix. How could they cheat us common people for a few dozen or a hundred coins?
Since we have put these tables and chairs for collecting interesting stories on the street, we are doing it openly and honestly, and we are not afraid of doing anything wrong and being seen by everyone.

Besides, this anecdote itself is not worth much elsewhere. If you tell it, you won't lose anything even if it is not selected.
But if I'm lucky enough to be selected, wouldn't I get the money?"

"It's actually a prince or princess? Could this be true?"

"I think what this guy said makes sense. It's just some interesting new things. Even if we don't get paid for telling others, we won't lose anything!"

Paying for interesting news is already a new and eye-catching thing.
Now that they knew the person who did this was actually a noble figure like the princess and the prince, the people naturally became louder in their discussions.

Soon, someone who wanted to give it a try walked up to Wan Zhanping first, rubbing his hands and saying excitedly:

"Take a look at what I have. Wasn't there a selection of courtesans in Wanhua Tower a few days ago? I happened to have some extra money, so I went in to take a look. Miss Peony was really... really pretty! Her little hands were so tender..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Wan Zhanping's face turned black.

The Fifth Princess and the Sixth Prince are still watching by the side!
How could such... such indecent words fall into the ears of your two princes?

Wan Zhanping lowered his voice and rebuked in a low voice:

"I asked you to tell me something new and interesting, not to pollute my ears!"

"No, no, that's not what I want to say!"

The man also realized that he had unconsciously said something off topic, and quickly apologized in a flattering manner:
"Well... many of the wealthy businessmen and young masters who went there that day were willing to spend all their savings for Miss Mudan!
However, the one who made the highest bid was Mr. Wu from the family of the Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Revenue. Once he offered 20,000 taels of silver, he scared away all the other bidders!
At that time, those who envied Master Wu for winning the first prize looked at him with green eyes, but before Master Wu had time to be happy, Yuanwailang personally led his men into the Wanhua Tower, grabbed Master Wu's ears and dragged him away! "

The people nearby couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard the last part.

Wan Zhanping glanced at Yun Shu quietly, and saw that the latter raised a finger to him calmly. He immediately understood, and counted out a hundred copper coins from the box next to him and handed them to the man:

"Okay, you passed this one! One hundred coins not less, count them yourself!"

He actually gave it to me!

The whistleblower was overjoyed, and the onlookers exclaimed in surprise.

With such a good start, many people soon lined up to try it out.

Wan Zhanping and Tang Muzhi's servants were already too busy to handle everything, so it was no surprise that Yun Shu asked Yun Chuhuan and Tang Muzhi to help write down the interesting stories that happened.

This stall has been set up for more than two hours. Although the majority of the revelations were rejected, there are still quite a few that were successfully passed.

After telling everyone that there would be people collecting interesting stories here and in front of Tangjia Qingsong Bookstore every day, Wan Zhanping happily packed up the tables and chairs.

Yun Chuhuan rubbed his sore wrist and came back to his senses from the joy of listening to gossip. Now he finally realized that he seemed to have been tricked by his fifth sister into doing hard labor!
Yun Chuhuan: “…”

What a “fulfilling and unforgettable day”!
It turns out she had planned everything from the beginning!

"Okay, I'll treat you to sweet and sour pork when I get home!"

Seeing that the Sixth Prince's emotions were brewing, Yun Shu came over and put his arm around his shoulder:
"You were obviously quite happy when you wrote it just now..."

Yun Chuhuan turned his head and glanced at her quietly.
Yun Shu changed her words instantly, coaxing her very smoothly:
"Okay, okay, I will cook today's sweet and sour pork tenderloin myself!

In addition, I will give you another dish of fried pork ribs. Your Highness, please don't be angry, okay?"

"Hmph!" Yun Chuhuan looked away proudly.

After a while, he couldn't help asking:

“Are those two dishes delicious?”

"Tsk!"

Yun Shu suppressed his smile and raised his eyebrows:
"When have I, your fifth sister, ever served anything bad?"

"..."

Also.

It would be better if the fifth sister was not his fifth sister, but just a small imperial chef.

He could lock her up in the small kitchen every day and order her to make delicious food for him!

……

Not knowing what kind of rebellious and bastard thoughts had popped up in her cheap brother's mind, Yun Shu returned to Fengyang Palace, cooked the two dishes she promised, and successfully sent Yun Chuhuan away.

Then she went back into the study and wrote part of the content that she had to publish in the capital weekly.

She didn't put down her quill until Tingxue came in with the lamp and reminded her to go to bed early because she had to go back to the study room for classes tomorrow.

The next day was the day I met the new tutor for the first time.

As usual, Yun Shu arrived at the study room at around four in the morning, propping up his head and feeling drowsy.

Beside her, Cen Yiyi was silently reciting the book.

On the other side, Yun Chuhuan must have met Liu Ziming on his way to the study. When the two entered the room, Yun Chuhuan was still vividly telling Liu Ziming about the gossip he heard yesterday.

Seeing that Yun Shu, who usually arrived on time, actually arrived a little earlier than them today,
Yun Chuhuan stared at her in surprise for two seconds, then he suddenly realized something and took out a thick stack of banknotes. He strode up to Yun Shu and slapped her:
"Fifth sister, money!"

boom!
The hand that Yun Shu was supporting his head with suddenly slipped, and his forehead almost hit the table.

She suddenly raised her head, feeling dissatisfied, and her eyes accidentally caught sight of the thick stack of banknotes. She instantly became sober and happy:

"Morning, Sixth Brother!"

Who says people who are grumpy when waking up cannot be disturbed when sleeping?

If her brother disturbed her like this all the time, she would even be willing to be woken up twice a day!
Feeling very happy, Yun Shu picked up the 100,000 taels of silver note and counted it. He patted Yun Chuhuan's shoulder lovingly:

"I promise that from now on, you will be the third person to get every copy of the Capital Weekly!"

"The third?"

Yun Chuhuan was unhappy when he heard this:

"Why am I only ranked third? I am one of the founders of the Capital Weekly. Why am I only ranked third?"
