BXBX NOVEL Chapter 138
The shopkeeper trembled and said that there was no need to pay. The meal was free.
Damn it! Even if he had the guts, he would not dare to ask the Eagle Guards for money!
Xiao Juan looked at him coldly. “We’ll pay for it.”
The shopkeeper felt even more uneasy.
He didn’t dare say anything else and answered honestly.
“Ten taels of silver for all the food and takeout.”
Yu Niaoniao secretly clicked her tongue.
Their meal was so costly!
After all, her monthly salary was only twenty taels!
Their meal had cost her half a month’s salary!
It was too extravagant!
Fortunately, it wasn’t her money that was being spent this time.
Yu Niaoniao turned to look at Duke Lang. She saw that he was still expressionless, but if she observed carefully, she could see that his lips were slightly pursed.
He didn’t look happy.
Yu Niaoniao secretly guessed that it was because their meal was too expensive.
After paying the bill, Xiao Juan left the restaurant with Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui.
They took the carriage to the Justice Department.
Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan entered the Justice Department, while Dang Gui took a carriage back to the county palace.
Yu Niaoniao had already finished reading the two large boxes of books.
Xiao Juan gave her a new mission.
“From tomorrow onwards, you will be in charge of teaching the painters in the Justice Department to draw portraits. While there’s still half a day, prepare in advance.”
Yu Niaoniao said blankly, “Prepare for what?”
Xiao Juan said, “Teaching plan.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Do you need to specially prepare a teaching plan to draw? Don’t you just need to observe to learn?”
Xiao Juan looked at her expressionlessly.
“You’d better not say that to anyone else.”
Yu Niaoniao was confused. “Why?”
Xiao Juan said, “You’ll be beaten up.”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
Xiao Juan said seriously, “Not everyone can remember everything like you. Ordinary people have to study for a long time before they can gradually master a skill.”
Yu Niaoniao said helplessly, “Alright, I’ll prepare the lesson plan now.”
She took out the pastries she had packed from the restaurant and ate them while writing her lesson plan.
In the blink of an eye, the afternoon passed.
Yu Niaoniao quickly packed up and prepared to leave work.
Xiao Juan asked, “Where’s your lesson plan? Show it to me.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “There’s no need. You’re so busy. You don’t have to worry about such a small matter.”
Xiao Juan stared at her quietly.
Yu Niaoniao felt her scalp tingle. In the end, she could only surrender.
“Okay, okay. I’ll show you.”
She pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over.
There were only a few lines on the paper:
Basic lessons. Learn the structure of the human body and master the distribution of bones and muscles.
There was nothing wrong with that.
Xiao’s Juan gaze moved down.
Learning location, Falling Clothes Pavilion.
The painting target was everyone in the pavilion.
Xiao Juan’s gaze gradually turned cold.
“If I remember correctly, the Falling Clothes Pavilion should be a famous brothel in the city.”
Yu Niaoniao said righteously, “We are not going there for pleasure. We are there for the sake of art!”
Xiao Juan sneered. “Is watching others take off their clothes art?”
Yu Niaoniao felt wronged. “How can you say that about me? I’m doing all this to allow the students to master the human body structure more quickly.”
Xiao Juan crumpled the lesson plan and threw it away.
...
“It’s not like you can only see human bodies in brothels.”
Yu Niaoniao was curious. “Is there anywhere else we can see them?”
People were very conservative these days. Even if they were paid, no one would volunteer to be a human model.
A moment later, Xiao Juan brought Yu Niaoniao into the morgue.
He pointed at the row of corpses covered in white shroud and said, “Are these bodies enough for you to see? If not, I’ll get you a few more.”
Yu Niaoniao’s face turned pale. “Enough.”
