Chapter 14 The ancestral jade pendant
Even if Murong was beaten to death, she would never have thought that Mr. Yang, who was omnipotent in her mind, was actually short of money.
After all, Yang Lu's 40 yuan manuscript fee has been spent on 4 yuan before he can get enough money. There may be many places to spend money in the future. I don't know when the next paper invitation will be waiting, so he really can't bear to spend money to open a separate room for Murong.
As the saying goes, money is heroic courage. Even Yang Lu will have inexplicably less confidence when he has no money on hand.
Fortunately, Haiya Pavilion is worthy of being a five-star hotel in the cultivation world. The guest room arranged with two yuan multi-spirit stone coins is even a suite, which avoids the embarrassment of a lonely man and a widow living in the same room.
As for the accommodation conditions of the rooms, Lu Yang, a financial elite who is used to living in five-star hotels, cannot find any problem.
Although the overall oriental interior design is adopted, it perfectly integrates the convenience of a modern bedroom, revealing a modern feel in the classical sense, elegant but livable. The bedding utensils are also made of real silk, full of soft and comfortable velvet fillings, and the environmental sanitation is spotless.
What’s even more amazing is that the lighting inside the suite actually uses the legendary spiritual light!
This kind of spiritual lamp has no wires or lampshades at all, but is suspended in the air like a light ball. According to the staff of Haiya Pavilion, this kind of spiritual lamp is generated out of thin air from scratch by a huge immortal array covering the entire Haiya Pavilion. Looking at the entire Haiya City, only Haiya Pavilion has such a luxurious interior configuration.
Spiritual energy is the most precious thing in the entire cultivation world.
This Haiya Pavilion guest room is indeed worthy of its huge housing capital by allowing mortals to enjoy the convenience brought by spiritual energy.
As soon as Yang Lu entered the house, he first studied the spiritual light for half an hour, and was amazed while studying it. The newspaper girl Murong was a little puzzled, just thinking that this was a certain quirk of the senior master.
Although Yang Lu wanted to promote his gentlemanly demeanor and let Murong sleep on the big bed in the suite, the newspaper girl disagreed and firmly stated that she could just sleep on the floor of the outer room. It was not until Yang Lu deliberately acted like he was about to get angry that she reluctantly agreed to sleep on the sofa in the outer room. But seeing that she only sat on the sofa with half of her butt, she was afraid of dirtying the sofa. Obviously, such luxurious accommodation conditions had a huge impact on the heart of the newspaper girl!
After looking at Murong's dirty hair, Yang Lu could tell that this newspaper girl probably hadn't taken a shower for a long time.
After searching, he finally found two ancient style robes similar to bathrobes from the guest room.
After forcibly stuffing the bathrobe into Murong's arms, he told Murong to take a good bath first. The newspaper girl had originally planned to refuse, but in the end she was convinced by Yang Lu on the grounds that "if you don't take a good bath, I'll feel very uncomfortable."
After changing into a bathrobe and waiting in the living room for more than ten minutes, the sound of water in the bathroom gradually stopped. Then Yang Lu saw the newspaper girl walking out timidly.
At this time, the girl also took off her blue cloth clothes and changed into the high-end bathrobe in the Haiya Pavilion.
Although her face still looks immature, it may be because she has been traveling outside all year round. Her figure has been exercised perfectly and has a bit of female-specific ups and downs. After taking a shower, her originally flattering face looks even more handsome. Although her skin is slightly dark, her pretty nose, plump lips, and big black eyes look very cute. Even Yang Lu has a stunning feeling of seeing the middle school class beauty.
The unscrupulous capitalists in the cultivation world are also helping people eat and not spit out bones. They actually let such a beautiful and cute girl go out to sell newspapers on heavy snow. Is this still a thing that humans do?
When he found Mr. Yang staring at him, the newspaper girl thought there was something wrong with her clothes. She couldn't help but feel hot, and she turned her body shyly, then quickly ran to the inner room and said, "Mr. Yang, I'll help you clean up the house!"
Seeing Murong holding the dirty clothes he had changed and running to the bathroom to rub it with his hands and feet, Yang Lu couldn't help but sigh secretly, saying that modern girls come into contact with a lot of things and eat well, so they are precocious. But compared to poor children like Murong, modern girls on Earth are not precocious, they are just giant babies who are forcibly ripened.
I don’t know how Murong, a fatherless girl, survived so many years.
Thinking of this, Yang Lu couldn't help but ask, "Murong, you said you have never had parents since you were a child. Who gave you the name?"
The world of cultivation is similar to that of the ancient earth, and naming is a privilege that only the middle class can enjoy.
It is said that when New China was just liberated, in order to check the background of the peasants, the investigation team went directly to the ancestral halls of various peasants to check the ancestral tablets. All those whose ancestors had names were at least from middle peasants, and those whose ancestors had no names, or whose ancestors had names "Wang Chacha" and "Liu Quanquan" were from poor peasants.
Compared with the previous large number of concealment and false alarms, this investigation method is surprisingly accurate.
The principle here is very simple.
In ancient China, no matter how poor the peasants were, they would worship the tablets of their ancestors, but the tablets had to have names. Therefore, if their ancestors were too poor and had no money to ask scholars to name them, they would often only use symbols such as circles and forks to write on the tablets instead.
The situation in the cultivation world is also very similar. Most of the homeless people Yang Lu saw in the shelter were people with no names but nicknames.
A strange man like him who had a surname and had a chance to live in a homeless shelter surprised the staff of the shelter for a long time, and he thought he was coming to find fault on purpose.
Yang Lu just realized that Murong, the newspaper girl, actually had her own name, which was very abnormal in itself.
Suddenly when asked this question, Murong's hands scrubbing clothes suddenly froze. However, she already trusted Yang Lu very much. After hesitating for a moment, she ran to the clothes she had changed and fumbled out, and then took out a stone that looked like a jade or a jade-like stone from her closest clothes.
As a private equity fund manager, Yang Lu’s most common thing is to deal with rich people, and naturally he also knows some basic knowledge of jade and antiques. The moment he saw this piece of jade, he could tell that this was definitely not a good jade!
It is like a bad jade picked up from the river beach, which is not worth anything at all.
Murong carefully held the jade and came to Yang Lu, pointed to the jade and said, "This is my name!"
Yang Lu looked closely and found that the surface of the jade was engraved with two big characters - Murong.
Although Yang Lu doesn't know much about the calligraphy of this world of cultivation, he can also see that the jade carvings are indeed a bit bad. If he doesn't look carefully, he would think this is a naughty graffiti from a child!
If you didn't know in advance that these two words were "Murong", you're probably not going to recognize them at all.
Seeing Yang Lu's inexplicable look, Murong was also embarrassed and said, "I have taken this jade with me when I was born, but I have never seen my parents before, so I called myself Murong..."
After hearing this, Yang Lu had already confirmed that Murong was an ordinary poor girl.
No wealthy family would write such poor quality calligraphy with such poor quality jade and then use it as a family heirloom for their descendants. This is simply unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Yang Lu also sighed slightly:
After the protagonist of Earth Net's article traveled through time, he not only carried a golden finger with him, but also picked up the princess who was wandering outside in minutes. When he arrived at his own side, he became a second entrepreneurship with his own skills.
It seems that I am really just a normal luck!
However, this discovery made Yang Lu even more pity for the newspaper girl.
Seeing that Yang Lu's eyes were always looking at him, Murong's face couldn't help but feel a little hot. He didn't know how to talk to him, so he had to stammer: "Mr. Yang, I haven't finished washing my clothes for you yet, so I'll do it now!"
After saying that, he ran away and hid back to the bathroom.
