370: Yes, I have double standards

Chu Hanming became anxious when he heard this. He waved his hands hurriedly and said, "What are you doing? Li'er, I'm not here to ask for money."

Nan Li blinked, "Second uncle is the elder. It's me, the junior, who should express his feelings, but now it's my second uncle who is sending me chicken soup. How can I be embarrassed? Second uncle, this one thousand taels is not much, so just keep it, otherwise I will

I have a troubled conscience.”

Yuan Bao had already taken the banknotes and placed them in front of Chu Hanming's desk.

How come Chu Hanming still doesn't understand what Nan Li means.

She was afraid that she would ask for help, so she would rather spend money to silence him first.

He was a little angry in his heart. Nan Li was not embarrassed. She thought her food was not good, so she didn't want him to speak, right?

But Chu Hanming was also shameless, so he smiled and said: "If Li'er is really worried about having an uneasy conscience, why don't you do a small favor for your second uncle?"

Nan Li rolled her eyes in her heart.

She knew that her second uncle must be asking for help when he showed his courtesy for nothing.

But he was losing face like this, so Nan Li just listened and saw if it was appropriate to take action.

"Second uncle, please tell me."

Chu Hanming suddenly became energetic and continued: "I have a close friend who wants to buy a mantra. The price is easy to tell."

Nan Li frowned subconsciously and said, "Second uncle, do you know that my mantra is not for sale to the outside world?"

The Mantra Talisman is her own talisman and seal script. Other Taoist priests may not be able to learn it if they want to learn it. It is no wonder that the second uncle came to open this mouth.

When Chu Hanming saw her rejecting her immediately, his face darkened at first.

But he quickly broke out into a smile and said: "Li'er is not for sale to the outside world. If you sell it to my close friends, it won't be considered for sale to the outside world."

"Some talismans seem to have little effect, but if you use them well, they can also become tools for killing or harming others." Nan Li said, "I will not sell this mantra talisman. Second uncle, please forgive me for being unable to help."

Moreover, the mantra talisman is of little use in life. Qin Zheng would only ask for one from her when he encountered a particularly difficult prisoner.

The second uncle's best friend went so far as to ask the second uncle to come and buy the talisman, which is probably not a good thing.

Chu Hanming stood up suddenly, a little annoyed: "Li'er, this is how you look at your second uncle's best friend? There was a slave in his house who stole something and hid it. After a lot of punishment, the slave still refused to tell where the thing was hidden.

, that’s why he just wants to buy a mantra, not to kill people!”

Nan Li still insisted: "Then the second uncle will ask him to report to the official. Mr. Qin should have a way to make that slave tell the truth."

Chu Hanming's face turned dark and he said: "Li'er, Erlang and Mr. Xie ask you for talismans on weekdays, but you give them to you without saying a word. When it's my second uncle's turn, you just push back. You just said you respect your elders. This

Is this what you call respect?"

Nan Li raised her eyelids and said in a neutral tone: "Yes, second uncle, I have double standards."

"..." The corners of Chu Hanming's mouth twitched. Although he didn't quite understand what double standards meant, they were definitely bad words.

He thought about Nan Li's temperament of being soft-spoken rather than tough, so he softened his tone and said, "Li'er, it's the second uncle who spoke harshly, but the second uncle's best friend wants to buy a mantra, so he really doesn't mean to harm anyone."

Nan Li shook his head gently: "Second uncle, there is no need to waste any more words. If you want amulets and house-protecting amulets, I can draw a few immediately."

Chu Hanming had blue veins bulging on his forehead.

Simple talismans such as amulets and house-protecting talismans can be easily bought in stores and temples. Doesn't he need to spend money and trouble to please Nan Li?

Finally, he fluttered his sleeves and turned around, but after taking two steps, he turned back, put the banknotes on the table, and snorted coldly before leaving.

Yuan Bao and Chun Bao were dumbfounded and felt that Nan Li was not worth it.

"Princess, as the second young master said, chicken soup is only worth dozens of taels of silver. You are at a huge loss." Yuan Bao muttered.

The second wife had both received favors from Nan Li. Chu Hanming said he was grateful, but in fact he didn't have any extra thanks.

Tian is still a human being. When Nanli was in the palace, she would send people to deliver cakes from time to time. When she came back to stay at the palace for a while, there were always plenty of cakes.

As an elder, this second master is really a bit outrageous.

Nan Li shrugged and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, he has been a wealthy prime minister recently."

Second uncle's money is not safe to handle.

Yuanbao and Chunbao looked at each other and saw that the princess had an idea, so naturally it was difficult to say anything.

As Nan Li said, Chu Hanming went to Ying Mao cursing him. He had no skills and was doing an extremely easy job - looking after the warehouse.

The warehouse in this palace is not small, and everything is registered.

There are rules in the palace. For fear of being watched and stolen, things will be counted every month.

But today the warehouse manager came to take stock and found that the warehouse with the bamboo number was missing a white porcelain flower bottle.

It was exactly the warehouse that Chu Hanming was looking after!

He was extremely panicked. He was in charge of this bamboo-named warehouse. If anything was lost, it would be regarded as theft and he would be punished!

"Mr. Wang, I really didn't steal it. You have to believe me." Chu Hanming said, "You also know that my family is short of money now. As for doing such a risky thing?"

Manager Wang glanced at Chu Hanming and said in a sharp voice: "The Zajia family naturally knows, but now that something has indeed been lost and it doesn't match the roster, how can the Zajia family explain it to the superiors?"

Chu Hanming had an idea and said hurriedly: "I can just buy one of similar quality and come back to make up for it. Anyway, the list only says white porcelain flower bottle, and there is no picture to prove it. As long as Mr. Wang doesn't tell me, it won't happen."

Someone knows."

Although he didn't steal the things, he couldn't escape the blame for his poor care.

Even if the thief could be found, he would still have to deal with thirty large boards.

The bones in his body are so fragile, how can he bear it?

I just didn't expect that his one thousand taels of silver notes would be spent so soon.

Manager Wang clicked his tongue and nodded: "This is a solution, but since the Za family helped Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu also has to help the Za family, right?"

Chu Hanming looked troubled.

The close friend he and Nan Li talked about was Manager Wang.

Manager Wang had treated him to drinks several times and wanted to buy a mantra.

Chu Hanming worked for General Manager Wang on errands and was usually lazy, so he thought that if he helped General Manager Wang, his life would be easier in the future.

But he didn't expect that Nan Li wouldn't give him any face. He had been avoiding Manager Wang these days.

Now that something happened, Manager Wang spoke again, and Chu Hanming couldn't avoid it: "Manager Wang, it's not that I don't want to help, it's because my niece has a lot of rules and she refuses to sell. Why don't Manager Wang go find her in person?

You have a lot of face, she will probably sell you this face."
