Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

The people of the Song Dynasty have always loved watching a good show, from palace secrets to the neighbor's wife having an affair, they talked about everything with great interest.

The gossip and scandals within the Palace Marshal's Mansion were no exception!

Just by hearing his nickname, everyone knew that the young man had misunderstood!

If you want to sing bel canto, don't you first need a good reputation?

Does Gao Yanei exist?

He has no brains!

He doesn't even have a hair!

All they have is a bad reputation and a bad name!

How many young women and wives has he ruined over the years? If his father hadn't been a high-ranking official in the imperial court, he would have been beaten to death long ago!

Do you think you can just wash away his reputation with a little money?

Impossible, you know? Absolutely impossible!

People in this world aren't fools!

The young man was also dumbfounded. How could this sucker be Gao Yanei?

How could he possibly do something like helping the poor? Is this what you're doing? This doesn't fit your public image at all!

Before he could figure out the trick, Gao Zhao snatched the money from his hand and sneered at the villagers who hadn't received their money yet:

"I won some money yesterday, and I was in a good mood. Seeing your pitiful state, I originally intended to give you some charity. But I didn't expect you treacherous commoners to repay kindness with enmity and try to extort money from me! I won't be giving you the money today, let's go!"

After saying this, Gao Zhao turned and left, with Lu Qian and the other two following closely behind.

When the village head saw that he was angry, he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, but Gao Zhao ignored him and left without even turning his head.

"What kind of mess have you all made... Sigh!" The village head had no choice but to stop and turn to look at the group of villagers. He could only stomp his feet and sigh in anger at their incompetence!

On the other side, Gao Yi, leading his horse, walked a short distance before turning back angrily and saying, "Young master, you're too soft-hearted. These ungrateful people don't know what's good for them. In my opinion, we should take back all the money we gave them and not give them a single penny!"

Gao Zhao sat on his horse, shook his head, and laughed, "As the saying goes, it's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality. If I take all the money back, they will all be penniless and will all resent me."

"And when I gave money to some people, those who didn't get any envied them, and then resented the guy who jumped out to cause trouble..."

Before he could finish speaking, the young man's shrill screams and the angry curses of the villagers came from the village behind him.

Gao Zhao turned his head and saw that the young man was being chased and beaten by the crowd, fleeing in panic, begging for mercy. His appearance was miserable and wretched, and it was unbearable to look at!

Seeing this, Gao Zhao felt relieved. It seemed that his skill in stirring up trouble was still effective in the Song Dynasty!

The other three, seeing this, all turned to look at Gao Zhao in astonishment, never expecting him to have such methods!

Is this still the same lecherous playboy who was blinded by lust?

Impossible! This must be pure luck, a lucky guess!

Ignoring the three people's surprise, Gao Zhao opened the panel and began to check.

Name: Gao Zhao

Gratitude Points: 15

Intelligence: 69+/100

Strength: 43+/100

Physical fitness: 40+/100

Agility: 42+/100

After calculating, I gained 13 gratitude points from this trip to the countryside. Adding those I earned this morning, my total earnings for today have exceeded 20 points. This is going to be a windfall!

Overjoyed, Gao Zhao prepared to add points. He was undoubtedly a powerhouse, and he was going to be a reckless man who relied solely on his physical strength, without any skills!

When he was adding points, he glanced at the Intelligence stat and found it was still unallocated, which frustrated him. It seemed that the more points he added, the higher the gratitude points required!

However, this feeling of unease was fleeting and was quickly washed away by the warm current that enveloped her!

This feeling is like a middle-aged man waking up to find himself with a strong erection!

Gao Zhao felt that he was capable again, at least he was capable of fighting!

If I were to share a bed with Lady Lin Chong again, I would definitely teach her a lesson!

The physical changes brought the most direct joy, and Gao Zhao waved his hand, declaring with boundless pride, "Let's go to Fanlou tonight! Everything's on me!"

"Oh! How majestic is the young master!"

"You spoiled brat!"

……

Fu An and Gao Yi cheered loudly, and Lu Qian was also overjoyed. All his hard work had finally paid off, and he had entered Gao Yanei's circle!

Of the four, only Gao Zhao had eaten a mixed meal in the morning. After a busy day, he was already starving. Hearing that Fanlou was going to treat them, the others felt their mouths water and subconsciously quickened their pace.

When they entered the city, it was already late. The streets were brightly lit, and the night markets were already set up, bustling with activity and lively. Many officials were also coming and going.

The group didn't even glance at it, heading straight for Fanlou!

It's not that the night market isn't good enough, it's just that my brother has high standards!

Upon arriving at Fanlou, one sees colorful flags waving and lights shining brightly. Five tall buildings stand facing each other, each connected by flying bridges and railings, with light and shadow intersecting each other.

This is not a single building, but a complex of buildings!

Upon seeing the group, a waiter immediately stepped forward to lead the horses and greet the guests with utmost hospitality.

"A private room please!" Gao Zhao dismounted and casually slipped a few bills to the waiter.

Seeing Gao Zhao's generosity, the waiter was overjoyed and quickly called for people to settle the horses. He then personally led the group upstairs.

Upon entering the private room and taking their seats, Gao Zhao waved his hand and declared boldly, "Two people per person, no one over eighteen, bring out your best dishes!"

The waiter was overjoyed and readily agreed before heading out to make the arrangements.

Before long, the tinkling of jade pendants and the wafting of fragrance filled the air as a group of beautiful young women gracefully entered, their voices melodious and enchanting!

When Gao Zhao saw the women's clothes, which were both poor and generous, he was overjoyed. He felt like he was back, that feeling from his previous life was back!

The other three, however, felt uneasy and ashamed of themselves upon seeing such a beautiful woman.

Gao Yi and Fu An, one a servant and the other a street urchin, had never received such treatment before!

Although Lu Qian often came to Fanlou, he usually just had a few drinks and a short rest. He didn't dare to indulge in such extravagance, mainly because he was short of money!

Gao Zhao reached into his pocket, pulled out a stack of money tokens, slammed them on the table with a bang, and laughed, "These brothers of mine are all a bit shy. If you take the initiative and liven things up, you'll get your share of the rewards!"

The women were overjoyed and quickly offered them wine, speaking sweetly and gently, which made the three men weak in the knees and completely infatuated.

Gao Zhao laughed heartily, embracing two women on either side, and declared loudly, "There's only one rule for following me: we share the good times, and you bear the bad times. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, the three men's lips twitched, realizing that Gao Zhao had misspoke.

Fu An quickly raised his cup in a toast: "Young Master is right. Sharing good fortune shows how much you care for us. Naturally, we should bear the burdens when things are tough, so that you can lend a helping hand to us. If you take the blame, we'll all be doomed!"

"Haha... Well said, let's drink together!" Gao Zhao raised his glass and laughed.

Everyone raised their glasses in a toast, and the atmosphere became very pleasant.

Just then, the door was kicked open with a bang, and a person walked into the room, looked around, and sneered, "Gao Zhao, having a good time, huh!"
