Chapter 43: Promotion
In the courtyard, the crows that usually liked to squat on the eaves were nowhere to be seen.

"You earn quite a lot of silver every year, why are you still so frugal?" Tang Shijun asked.

Tang Shijun was noncommittal. He came from an aristocratic family and was used to seeing grand scenes.
