The primary shopping mall has nine compartments, and the remaining six compartments are for fabrics, wood, steel, medicinal herbs, crop seeds, and books.
Xue Yao checked the requirements for opening a secondary mall one by one, and found that only the primary mall opened with the same number of whitewash points, and the points required for the secondary varied.
The most expensive of these opening requirements is mostly for the Time Reference Line Mall, followed by books, 300 points for Level 2 and 2000 points for Ultimate.
Once again, herbs and crop seeds, 250 points for Tier 2 and 1,500 points for Ultimate.
Finally, there's Fabric Lumber and Steel, the same whitewash points required to open the Food Mall.
The nine side quests for the second level of the mall are all different.
Xue Yao did some calculations and realized that he couldn't just spend these 10,000 or so Whitewash Points, or else it wouldn't be enough to open all of the Ultimate Shopping Malls.
But on second thought, most of those mission requirements, he couldn't complete.
He still had no clue about the [Open the second chakra] quest at the Food Level 2 Mall.
The mission requirement for opening the secondary mall of medicinal herbs is [Controlling the epidemic in Ping Rong County].
He didn't even know where Ping Rong County was, so I guess there wasn't much he could accomplish.
With more shopping centers, there were more choices. Apart from food, what Xue Yao was most interested in was the book mall.
It's not that he's a good learner, but the mall may refresh highly specialized tools, and if he can find technical books that have significantly helped the progress of ancient society, he can sell them for a good price even if he doesn't study them himself.
After careful planning for the future, Xue Yao decided that going into business would be a good way forward.
In this era, the businessman is still at the bottom of the scholars, peasants, farmers, and businessmen, but he has such an unending supply of rare resources that only the road of business can go wider and wider.
As for the imperial examination to become an official, he was the first to veto it.
After the Offer Shudo fiasco, he had already weighed how much talent he had for political fighting.
The heart of a king is hard to gauge, not to mention that there are two more earth-shattering coups in the future, and being in the middle of them, he understands all too well that he could die any way he takes a stand.
So, the ultimate life plan is to settle down and grow up with the little chubby boy first.
Make a good relationship, do not get involved in the officialdom, and when the fat pup reverses the trend and sits in the dragon chair, he will be able to rely on the relationship with the emperor, and become a palace exclusive capital giant.
Perfect!
Just like this, Xue Yao accompanied the Dragon Ao Tian cub and continued to start his peaceful childhood.
Three years later, Aunt Zhou's father was vindicated and reinstated in his official position.
In order to flatter his father-in-law, Master Xue San was prepared to repudiate his wife and raise his concubine without any shame, causing Chen to nearly hang herself, but he was not able to keep Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou borrowed her father's authority and forced Master Xue to write a letter of release of concubines, restored her freedom, and lived in the old mansion where her father, Zhou Chong, had been unsealed, without remarrying.
For this reason, the old master of the Xue family was very dissatisfied, but the old lady still treated Xue Yao as her grandson and did not move him out of the genealogy.
Xue Yao also has no problem with the old lady, and often returns to the Xue House to visit, only purposely skipping the third house.
*
Without realizing it, six years have passed.
This year, the fifth prince had just turned eighteen, the sixth prince was fifteen, and both of them already had the appearance of a young boy.
Even the chubby little twelve year old is rapidly drawing bars in height.
Originally round as a bun like small face, day by day to handsome than Long Ao Tian in the development, just two cheeks of baby fat, a moment and a half can not get rid of, probably Xue Yao milk feeding too much.
All of this made it impossible for Xue Yao to ignore the fact that the cubs were almost grown up.
Seventeen year old Xue Yao also had an upright figure, lean but vigorous.
He inherited Aunt Zhou's flawless porcelain-white complexion and beautiful face, and between his phoenix eyes, he had his own distinctive style.
From the new experience of adolescence Xue Er Gongzi, a play handsome heart also rekindled, spent a lot of whitewash point exchange fabric, ready-made clothes made several sets, are wide-sleeved Bo belt floating style.
He aspired to look up to the Grand Prince.
Over the years with the emperors from time to time contact, Xue Yao subconsciously day by day more and more worship of the great prince, think that the man should become like the great prince, as a domineering but not lose the poise of the gentleman.
Therefore, Xue Yao's regular clothing styles were following in the footsteps of the Grand Prince's aesthetic.
A standard little fanboy, so to speak!
Last month, the Fifth Prince asked Xue Yao to join him for this year's fall hunt.
The Seventh Prince accompanied the hunt for the first time two years ago, while Xue Yao hadn't prepared a riding outfit and hadn't systematically trained in archery, he hadn't accompanied the fall hunt before, and didn't intend to participate in this one either.
However, after hearing the Sixth Prince say "Big Brother will also come", Xue Yao agreed to the Fifth Prince's invitation to participate in the fall hunt for the first time!
Xue Yao was more suited to endurance and skillful sports such as cuju, the sport of hunting was not well suited to him, dynamic eyesight and explosive power were too much of a test of talent.
So on the day of the fall hunt, looking at the several companions around him who kept drawing their bows and shooting, Xue Yao was always coldly watching with his bow, determined not to draw his bow and make a fool of himself.
The paddock to the south had been set up, and the soldiers drove the hordes of prey into the Emperor's preferred hunting area.
Not long after, the Fifth Prince carried his bow and arrived at the hunting area where Xue Yao was on a fast horse.
The palace maids and eunuchs immediately unloaded their salutes and greeted them with quivers of arrows.
"Ayao! Why are you dressed like this to hunt?" Still with the same overbearing voice, the Fifth Prince pulled the reins and dismounted a few feet away.
He was dressed in a brown riding suit, wrist calves wrapped in hard leather wrist guards outline the slender limbs, sword eyebrow and starry-eyed imposing, has already revealed the future riding the sands of the famous generals temperament.
"I don't have a riding costume." Xue Yao greeted him with a quick step, tilted his head to look behind him, and asked, "His Highness the Grand Prince didn't come?"
"He and Sixth Brother are heading east of the paddock, why didn't you say so earlier if you weren't mounted? How can you maneuver around dressed like this?" The Fifth Prince turned his head and ordered the little eunuch to fetch a set of his own riding attire and let Xue Yao go to the tent to change into it.
"No need, Your Highness." Xue Yao hadn't planned to perform archery, just casually dealing with it would be the end of it, and to be able to spectate the Grand Prince's hunting style, this trip wouldn't have been in vain.
"Why don't you use it?" The Fifth Prince was as stubborn as before, and commanded Xue Yao with his waist crossed, "Dressed like this, if your sleeves are brought to the bowstring, your aim will be off! If you don't believe me, try shooting an arrow!"
"It's enough for me to watch you hunt, Your Highness." Xue Yao was already getting annoyed by the Fifth Prince of BBJ for nine years.
When they first met, the arm wrestling smashed Xue Yao and made him cry, and then the "Iron Sand Palm" slapped his head, the Fifth Prince was convinced that Xue Yao could die of internal injuries at any time.
As a result, over the years, the Fifth Prince subconsciously felt guilty towards Xue Yao, and naturally took extra care of him, almost teaching him as his own brother as well.
He was only a year older than Xue Yao, but he always put on the airs of an elder brother, and when he started to lecture, it was never-ending.
Xue Yao was on the verge of spitting blood at the sound of it, and sadly, this was rewarded with red eyes from the other chaperones.
In the eyes of the other companions, the Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince favored Xue Yao, and even the eccentric and mischievous Seventh Prince rarely teased Xue Yao.
In short, it was the good things that the emperors were thinking of Xue Yao, and the bad things that they were burdened with.
I also don't know what means Xue Yao has used in private to flatter the prince.
Thus, after the Fifth Prince began to concentrate on hunting, a few of the accompanying readers pair of eyes, grimaced, and walked over towards Xue Yao.
Here we go again, as soon as Xue Yao took a look at those guys' expressions, he knew that they were trying to pick a fight again.
It's so annoying. It's not a harem. What's the point of infighting when you're a chaperone?
Even if you're favored, the Prince won't let you carry a dragon's seed or anything, so why bother?
There's no way around it, it's all a bunch of 17 and 18 year olds with too much energy.
"Xue second son of the first time to autumn hunting, today to show us a couple of hands?" The leading boy is the fifth prince's companion, named Chang Shun, just turned eighteen, strong body and strong Chinese character face, is looking at the fast thirty kind of precocious appearance.
Xue Yao pursed her lips and smiled, politely replying, "How can I hunt, today I just came to see Your Highness exert his divine power."
"Don't be modest!" Chang Shun sneered, "Our brothers every year in the fall hunting have the tradition of competition, rabbits and pheasants and so on counting one point, deer and pigs and so on counting five points, at the beginning of the hour of the You time to gather, counting the score of the three teams in the bottom, each person out of ten taels of silver, when it is to invite the first brother to eat a meal of wine and food. What do you think? Since you're here, Xue Er Gongzi will follow the customs of the land, you find a buddy to hunt with, or you can go it alone."
Surely no one would be willing to team up with Xue Yao, and he didn't know how to shoot arrows himself, so to put it bluntly, he was trying to blackmail him.
Xue Yao smiled but did not reply, his remaining light looking towards the figure of the Fifth Prince in the distance, hoping that he would come out to mind his own companion.
Once the Fifth Prince started hunting, he was like no one else, his eyes and ears were on the movement of every blade of grass and tree in the woods, and he didn't even notice Xue Yao's eager gaze.
The little palace maids behind Xue Yao were all whispering away in cross talk--
"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is top looking in this brown riding outfit, and with the gauntlet ankles strapped on, it looks like his arms and legs are especially long."
"You are the one who didn't see His Highness the Crown Prince wearing that white and gold patterned riding outfit, that's what I call imposing!"
"I still think His Highness the Sixth Prince looks good in a riding suit."
"Any garment worn on the Sixth Prince screams for comfort!"
"I see you just look at the Sixth Prince comfortably, right?"
"To say the most eye-catching, I see that the handsome appearance of His Highness the Seventh Prince is only becoming more and more apparent."
"The seventh prince is still small, I remember the year before last, I was in the tent to help the seventh prince change his riding clothes, the wrist guards were dead on, have you guys ever seen how fat his little arms are?"
"How fat?" The Seventh Prince's childish voice suddenly rang out behind the palace maids.
"Ah!" The palace maid who disliked the little prince's obesity behind her back nearly jumped up in fear, and only after the sisters around her turned around to ask for peace did she turn around in a panic and lower her head, timidly picking her eyes to peek at the seventh prince's demeanor.
A teenager in a dark purple riding suit slightly raised his chin, hanging his long eyelashes and hooking the corner of his lips, a pair of peach blossom eyes seemingly smiling, staring at the panicked palace maid in the center.
"Your Highness?" As if grasping a life-saving straw, Xue Yao turned around the palace maid and tugged at the seventh prince's sleeve: "Do you know how to hunt?"
The palace maids and eunuchs around him almost laughed out loud when he asked this question.
They come to serve the master year after year for autumn hunting, and everyone knows that the seventh prince's archery talent is extraordinary, from the age of nine when he first tried the crossbow, so that the emperor's dragon face is very happy.
In the palace also did not see much of this seventh prince practiced archery, but every year there is amazing progress, this year is estimated to be able to put a few older princes are compared to.
And this young companion actually asked the Seventh Prince "if he could hunt"!
The companions were holding back their laughter, waiting for the Seventh Prince to punch Xue Yao in the face.
The Seventh Prince's shallow pupil lazily slanted a glance at Xue Yao without speaking, as if asking what he wanted to do.
"Chang Shun asked me to participate in the hunting competition, it has to be a team of two." Xue Yao anxiously pursued, "Does His Highness know how to shoot arrows?"
"Not quite." The Seventh Prince smiled out a small tiger tooth pointed, bent down to take the bow in Xue Yao's hand, deliberately held it backwards, assumed an archery posture, and asked Silly Yao Yao with a serious look, "Shoot like this?"
Xue Yao was greatly disappointed, exasperated, correcting the direction of the Seventh Prince's bow, educating, "It has to be this side facing outward, where the arrows come out, Your Highness, do you understand?"
Crowd of companion readers around the room:"？？？？"
How come the Seventh Prince suddenly won't!
As the closest companion of the seventh prince, Xue Yao really thought that the seventh prince would not be able to shoot arrows, this little guy because of the defects of the emotional disorder, usually would not know how to mention his own business to people, in the palace also never practiced arrows, stayed in Xue Yao's mind the last memories, or the little fat cub three years old that year out of the arrow smashed toes of the level of strength!
The author has something to say:
Xue Yao why do not know seven cubs will be archery:① nine years old for the first time to participate, seven cubs have only been to a total of three times, get the father praised just because there is no foundation but good talent, and not amazing performance, not to the extent that people know everywhere to discuss. ② The palace maids and eunuchs of the hunting ground are specially arranged manpower, not the people around the seventh prince, and Xue Yao came to the paddock for the first time.
