The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Pan Jun looked regretful: "Unfortunately, Master Zhang has already pointed it out. I have to send you down the mountain. There are too many people in the academy. Otherwise, I will keep you here and let you come to practice every now and then. Maybe after a year or so, you will remember it..."

Xiao Hong: "I practiced all night last night and I felt very comfortable. I vaguely remembered some scenes. I want to go out and look for them. As long as I find the scenes that flashed through my mind, I think I can remember them."

Hongyan also didn't like staying in the academy. Although the Dou Mu Hall could strengthen her soul, she preferred the outside world.

"Your academy has too many requirements. This is not allowed, that is not allowed. Xiaohong and I can only stay in your small courtyard. It's too boring."

Xiaohong nodded sympathetically, she also didn't like the academy.

Especially since she is a ghost, she cannot go out during the day when the sun is strong.

Originally, he could go out for a walk in the evening and morning, but Zhang Weiliang was also in the yard at that time.

Alas, she couldn't see her former master. As soon as she saw him, she wanted to scare him.

God knows how much willpower she needs every night to control herself from drifting into his room to make trouble?

It's so boring to have ready-made fun right in front of me but not be able to play it.

Pan Yun understood them very well, so she brought them down the mountain.

Because Hongyan is delicious, she has been eating in the cafeteria with them for the past ten days and is really greedy, so she decided to treat them to a meal before leaving: "Just treat it as a farewell drink."

Pan Yun took them directly to the best restaurant in town - Ping'an Restaurant.

They have been in Longhushan for a year and have never stepped into this restaurant.

The truth is that they were too poor last year, and Ping'an Restaurant seemed too expensive.

In the whole Shangqing Town, except for Shenxian Tower, Ping'an Restaurant is the tallest and largest. It is decorated magnificently and does not look like a restaurant in a town, but rather a large restaurant in the capital.

Pan Yun and the others stopped in front of the restaurant and looked up at the plaque hanging high up.

Tao Yanbai was puzzled: "Uncle Junior, didn't you say that you used all your money to pay off your debts and give it to Master Pan?"

Miao He was worried: "Master Junior, we have already paid you back the money you lent us. We don't have much money left."

Pan Jun chuckled and lowered his voice, "Don't worry, I made some money on my way back from the capital. It's not much, but it's enough for a meal."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went in happily.

Pan Yun took into consideration that they still had a ghost and a cat, so he waved his hand and said generously: "Give us a private room."

When the waiter heard this, he glanced at the academy uniforms they were wearing and bowed happily, saying, "Dear guests, please go to the second floor."

As he led the people upstairs, he said subtly, "Dear guest, today is a holiday for the academy, so the restaurant is particularly busy. Some of the private rooms are not available, so the minimum consumption to enter is twenty taels."

Pan Yun paused slightly. Her father was a fifth-rank censor, with an annual salary of 180 dan of rice and a monthly salary of 15 dan. Based on the current grain price, the monthly salary was equivalent to a little more than eight taels.

Well, this one meal cost her father two and a half months’ salary. Fortunately, her father didn’t know.

Pan Jun smiled and nodded slightly to the waiter.

This money was stolen and was an extra surprise, so Pan Yun didn't feel sorry at all for spending it.

The waiter happily led them to the box.

Although it is a private room, it only blocks the sight and does not block the sound much.

There is only a thin wooden board between the boxes.

But Pan Yun and the others all liked it very much. They could let Xiaohong come out and eat as much as she wanted while listening to gossip from the boxes on both sides. The best part was that their box faced the street, so they could open the window and see the hustle and bustle on the street.

Pan Yun felt better when he opened the exquisite menu prepared by the restaurant.

Having money does make people happy, and spending money makes people happier.

Pan Jun looked at the album and ordered a lot. After he finished ordering, he asked Xiaohong via voice transmission: "What else do you want to eat?"

Xiaohong took advantage of the fact that the waiter couldn't see her and squeezed past him to Pan Yun's side and ordered a braised pork that was particularly beautifully painted: "It looks delicious." Pan Yun ordered it for her.

The waiter touched his cold neck and immediately took notes when he heard Pan Yun order the braised pork.

After Pan Yun ordered, he handed it to Hong Yan: "Here, order what you like."

Hongyan asked directly: "Are there any chickens?"

"Yes," the waiter bowed and smiled, "The most delicious chicken in our shop is the Three Cups Chicken. It's a famous dish of our Gan cuisine. Would you like to try it?"

Hongyan: "Click!"

Hongyan handed the notebook over, and Pan Yun gestured to Tao Yanbai, Miaozhen and Miaohe to order one of their favorite dishes.

Tao Yanbai's frugal nature burst out: "Little Master, isn't this too much?"

"We are all growing up, we can finish it," Pan Yun said, "and this is for Hongyan and Xiaohong, so of course they have to eat well."

Hongyan was also very happy. She nodded repeatedly, looking out the window, and urged Tao Yanbai: "Hurry up and order. I'm going to buy something after we finish eating. I've been feeling suffocated in the mountains for the past few days."

Pan Jun teased her: "You can't even bear this in just seven days. How will you be able to endure loneliness in the future?"

Hongyan: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Tao Yanbai looked at the menu carefully and ordered a dish.

Miaozhenmiaohe came over to look with him and also found the dishes they liked.

Then everyone returned the menu to the waiter.

The dishes they ordered were already quite low-priced, but the waiter still asked, "Would you like some drinks, sir?"

Pan Yun said, "Bring me a pot of tea."

The waiter smiled and agreed, and soon brought over tea and two plates of snacks: "This tea and snacks are sent by the store."

He also brought them a plate of roasted melon seeds and peanuts.

As soon as he left, Pan Jun pulled a chair next to Xiaohong and asked her to sit down and eat while chatting.

Pan Jun grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts from the plate she gave her, and made a gesture to make them disappear, and finally they landed in Xiaohong's hands: "Tell me, where are you going?"

Xiao Hong said while eating melon seeds: "Hongyan's tail is still unretractable. I plan to accompany her to train while searching for my memories."

Pan Yun lowered his voice and said, "We may go to Quanzhou and Taizhou to kill the Japanese in June. If you are interested, you can go there to find us, or return to Longhu Mountain before June and set out with us."

Xiao Hong: "...You are all Taoist priests. If I go with you, won't they accept me?"

Pan Yun said: "Although it is a collaboration between the Tianshi Mansion and the Jianghu Alliance, I heard from the Academy that the focus is still on training, so except for special times, everyone should act on their own and they can't hinder us."

Xiaohong looked at Hongyan.

Hongyan: "I'm fine with anything, just don't lock me up in a yard anymore."

Pan Jun gave her an OK gesture: "Okay."

Hongyan imitated her gesture and laughed: "This is fun, is this a good idea?"

Pan Yun nodded.

The private room is a place for chatting and talking. Someone in the next private room was also talking: "Young Master, the master wants to ask for a few more talismans to drive away evil spirits and ensure safety. It would be even better if there are talismans for changing luck."

"You've seen the talismans in the Immortal Building. They're so expensive. What can I do?"

Pan Yun and Miao Zhen looked at each other and were both happy. Before they could knock on the wooden wall next door, they heard the young master complaining: "I told you that Yang Ji was not a good person, but my father refused to listen. Now, Yang Ji has been killed, and our business is in trouble. We have to spend so much money on talismans to drive away evil spirits." (End of this chapter)
