NovelEnglish85 Reward
This time, even the knowledgeable Xiao Juan was stunned.
He had seen many talented people, but he had never seen someone with the same talent as Yu Niaoniao.
Yu Qianqian looked up at him and said with a cheeky smile.
“Do you think your twenty taels of silver were worth it?”
Xiao Juan really felt that it was worth it.
Talent was a scarce resource in any era.
At the same time, he felt that it was a pity. If she was a man, it would not be a problem for her to become the top scholar.
Unfortunately, she was a woman and would never be able to become an official or make a name for herself.
There were many books that the Eagle Guards had confiscated today. A small half of them were sent to Yu Niaoniao, and the remaining half was distributed to the other Eagle Guards for review.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLogically speaking, it should be faster with more people. However, Yu Nianiao was an overachiever. Her reading speed was comparable to a rocket. The pages were flipped by her.
In just over four hours, she had finished the entire pile of books in front of her.
It was also because she had read these books with her own eyes that she could confirm that the Eagle Guards were not talking nonsense. There was indeed some anti-government poetry hidden in these books. Apart from that, there were also many unhealthy books that promoted extreme thoughts and were prone to attracting evil.
She picked out all these books, wrote a list, and placed it on Xiao Juan’s desk.
With the mission completed, Yu Niaoniao stood up and stretched.
Xiao Juan accepted the list and said sincerely, “You did well.”
Yu Niaoniao had always been impudent.
Hearing the man’s praise, she immediately followed it.
“Then shouldn’t you reward me?”
She tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling like a cute kitten begging to be stroked.
It made him want to reach out and touch it.
Xiao Juan resisted the urge to reach out and asked calmly, “What reward do you want?”
Yu Niaoniao rubbed her hands together in anticipation.
“Can you treat me to supper tonight?”
Ever since she came to the Imperial Capital, she had never seen the night market here or eaten supper here.
She had been complaining about this for a long time.
Xiao Juan never ate outside food. He refused without thinking.
“No way.”
Yu Niaoniao leaned over and grabbed the man’s sleeve. She shook him gently and pleaded softly.
“I don’t eat much. It won’t cost you a lot of money. Just accompany me to eat once, okay?”
Xiao Juan shifted his gaze away from her face and said coldly, “Acting cute is useless against me.”
The same trick wouldn’t fool him twice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing this, Yu Niaoniao could only let go of her claws in disappointment and let out a long sigh.
“Okay.”
Xiao Juan could not stand her dejected look and spoke as if to make up for something.
“If you want to eat anything, you can tell me. I’ll get someone from the dining hall to cook for you.”
The Justice Department had a dining hall. Usually, if the Eagle Guards were busy with work and did not have time to go home for dinner, they would stay in the dining hall of the Justice Department to eat.
Hearing that she could eat delicious food, Yu Niaoniao immediately perked up.
She started ticking off the dishes.
“I want fried lotus root, fried spring rolls, stir-fried meat, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, sour and spicy fish head, and winter melon shrimp soup.”
Xiao Juan ordered someone to report the names of these dishes to the dining hall and asked the chefs to prepare lunch according to the names of the dishes.
Unexpectedly, the chefs were stumped by these dishes.
They had never even heard of these dishes, let alone cooked them.
If they didn’t know Duke Lang’s character, they would have thought that he was deliberately making things difficult for them.
