Jia Yun arranged a room for Sister-in-law Liu and Aunt Wang respectively in the back room, mainly for them to place their belongings and take daily rest.
Considering that Sister-in-law Liu and Aunt Wang both had their own homes and relatives at home, and their work during the day was somewhat hard, Jia Yun did not let them stay overnight.
Anyway, Jia Yun will stay at home at night. Jia Yun has already planned that even if she goes to Shangguan School in the future, she will go home and live at night instead of living on campus like she did when she attended Jingshi Martial Arts School.
The main room upon entering the house is very large, with not only a living room, east and west bedrooms, but also a study room.
That night, Jia Yun sat in the study and continued writing "The Eight Parts of the Dragon".
Both Xiren and Zijuan knew some simple words. To be cautious, Jia Yun did not let the two of them add fragrance to their red sleeves.
When I wrote the second watch at night, there was a knock on the door, and then Zicuckoo's voice sounded: "Second Master, can we come in?"
Jia Yun packed up the manuscript and went forward to open the door. She saw Zijuan and Xiren standing outside the door together, each holding a package in their hands.
"It's so late. Is the second master still studying and not going to bed?" Xiren asked with concern first.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "I'm used to going to bed at midnight. What do you want from me now?"
Zicuckoo said: "Can we go into the house and talk?"
Jia Yun nodded.
Xiren and Zijuan entered the study. They placed their packages on the desk and opened them. They saw that the packages were piled with gold, silver jewelry and other belongings.
Xiren said: "Yesterday, the second master said in front of the old lady that after buying this house, there is no money left. Although the old lady rewarded you with a hundred taels of silver yesterday, Sister Zijuan and I were thinking about it.
Money is not enough for someone like Er Ye."
"Sister Zijuan and I have saved some property over the years. After some discussion, we both felt that since we have become the second master's maids and the second master is short of money, we should give these properties to the second master.
"
Zijuan said: "Second Master has learned about my life experience today. Most of the property I have acquired in Xifu over the years has been given to my brothers by my mother. Although my sister Xiren also gave some to her family,
But what she has left is much more than what I have, so I hope the second master won’t dislike me for giving less.”
Jia Yun couldn't help but be moved when she heard this. They are really two good maids!
In fact, Xiren and Zijuan were willing to do this not only because of their good conduct, but also because they both had the idea of becoming aunts in the future, especially Xiren.
Jia Yun didn't respond immediately. She first checked the belongings given by Xiren and Zijuan. Ha, there were quite a lot!
The property given by Xiren is estimated to be worth two hundred taels of silver in total. The property given by Zijuan is less, but it is estimated that it is worth one hundred taels of silver in total.
Is it strange? Jia Yun is not surprised at all.
The maids like Xiren and Zijuan who are treated as "half-ladies" in Rongguo Mansion are usually rich people!
Take Qingwen as an example.
Although in the original novel, Qingwen was driven out and died miserably on a reed mat, the hairpin ring she left behind after her death was worth three to four hundred gold, and was taken away by her brother and sister-in-law.
The three or four hundred gold here should refer to three or four hundred taels of silver.
Qingwen was many years later than Xiren, and Zijuan entered Jia's house as a maid many years later. The hairpin ring she left behind when she died was worth three or four hundred taels of silver, not to mention that Qingwen was not one who knew how to save money.
Isn't the highest monthly salary for a maid in Rongguo Mansion only one tael of silver? Qingwen has only been a maid by Jia Baoyu's side for a few years, so how can she be so rich?
It's very simple. The maids of Jia's family have to pay for their food and clothing out of the public expense, and their monthly payment is only equivalent to the allowance. The maids like Xiren, Zicuckoo, and Qingwen who are close to the master have to pay for their annual routine of clothing and headdress.
The jewelry is quite expensive, and they receive a lot of daily rewards. During festivals and festivals, the master gives gold and silver as lucky money...
Jia is true, Bai Yu is the gold of the palace, and the extravagance and lust of the Jia family are really no joke!
Although Xiren and Zijuan are not very old now, they have both been maids by Jia Mu's side for many years. What's more, Jia Mu rewarded them with fifty taels of silver each yesterday.
Now Xiren can bring out property worth two hundred taels of silver, and Zijuan can bring out property worth one hundred taels, so it's not surprising.
After checking the belongings given by the two people, Jia Yun smiled and said: "I accept your kindness, but you can take all these belongings back. I said that on purpose in front of the old lady yesterday, in order to let the old lady give me
I reward you with money, but actually your second master is not short of money."
This is not a slap in the face, but a fact.
He really doesn't have to worry about money now, he has a way to get money.
He can ask Cheng Huanian to advance the share of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", not to mention more, a hundred taels is fine. If necessary, Cao Wu, Tang Daqian and even Jing Zhanyao will definitely be willing to lend him a lot of money.
More importantly, after starting to make money by writing books two years ago, Jia Yun has recently begun to implement his second method of making money...
However, Xiren and Zijuan now felt that Jia Yun was trying to make a fool of herself.
Xiren said: "Second Master, feel free to use it. Sister Zijuan and I have kept some for ourselves. It won't hurt us if you take these."
Jia Yun still declined.
Zicuckoo said: "If the second master feels that it is so disrespectful to the master, just think of it as borrowing it from us. In the future, when the second master becomes glorious, just give us more."
Jia Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she immediately took out two hundred and fifty taels of silver (one hundred taels of which were given by Zhan Guang): "Look, I really have no shortage of silver."
When Zicuckoo saw the attacker, he believed it and left with his belongings.
…
…
The next day, Jia Yun called Hua Zifang and Aunt Hua over for a meal, which made Xiren naturally happy.
Hua Zifang and Aunt Hua were also happy, and they both wanted to be Jia Yun's maid.
Both of them felt that Jia Yun had a great future. Instead of staying in the Rongguo Mansion as a slave with an uncertain future, Xiren might as well come to Jia Yun as a maid and possibly become Jia Yun's roommate in the future.
What's more, both Hua Zifang and Hua Auntie admire Jia Yun's character. Hua Zifang and Jia Yun are friends. They both believe that Jia Yun will treat Xi Ren well. And after Xi Ren follows Jia Yun, it will be easier for the two of them to meet Xi Ren in the future.
People.
On the third day, Jia Yun called Cao Wu and Tang Daqian to Erjin Mansion to invite a host, not only out of friendship, but also to repay the kindness of going to Cao Mansion to bother Cao Wu.
On the fourth day, it was snowing.
On this day, Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian braved the snow to go to Jing's Martial Arts School together.
Jing Zhanyao said before that he would invite a host in Tanhuayuan today to call Gao Le Gao Le, the four people who passed the annual examination of Shuntian Mansion in Jing's martial arts school.
Among the four people, in addition to Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian, there was also a man named Jiang Hongpeng. Since Jiang Hongpeng had a very withdrawn personality and did not like to interact with others, Jia Yun and the other three did not make friends with this person and had little contact with him.
The reason why Jing Zhanyao invited this host in Tanhuayuan was because, in his opinion, eating this host meant that Jia Yun and the four of them formally said goodbye to Jing's Martial Arts School. Although they could still come to Jing's Martial Arts School at any time in the future,
They are no longer martial arts students, so it makes more sense to arrange this host in Tanhuayuan.
This time, in addition to the four martial arts students Jing Zhanyao and Jia Yun, two assistant instructors and two private tutors from Jing's martial arts school also participated in this host, including instructor Song.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very good. Well, there were some bad points. For example, Jiang Hongpeng was really withdrawn and hardly said anything. Even when Jing Zhanyao spoke to him, his attitude was not enthusiastic, but Jing Zhanyao
Yao, Jia Yun and others are all used to this.
In addition, Jia Yun and the other four martial arts students did not drink a lot of wine. Even though Jing Zhanyao liked wine and sex, he never let his students drink a lot of wine in front of him.
After finishing the meal, Jing Zhanyao presented congratulatory gifts to Jia Yun, Cao Wu, Tang Daqian and Jiang Hongpeng.
Among them, Jia Yun was given a long-stemmed sword weighing dozens of kilograms, named "Sanyuan Sword". The implication is that Jia Yun is now Wu Xiao Sanyuan, and she hopes that Jia Yun can become Wu Sanyuan in the future, that is,
Win Wu Jieyuan, Wu Huiyuan, and Wu Zhuangyuan.
Jia Yun was surprised: "You know, Mr. Nestorian, I plan to use a short-handled broadsword as a daily weapon in the future."
Unexpectedly, Jing Zhanyao laughed and said: "Actually, I have wanted to tell you that with your magical power, it would be better to use a long sword as a daily weapon. It can make better use of your magical power and is more suitable for horse fighting. I am thinking about it.
"Look, it would be a good idea for you to practice more with the short-handled sword. It will be beneficial for you to use the long-handled sword, so I haven't told you yet."
Jia Yun: "..."
I sighed quietly in my heart: Well, it seems like from now on I will really have to be like Guan Yu, dancing around coquettishly while holding a heavy long sword.
What Jing Zhanyao gave to Cao Wu was also a heavy long sword, but it was more than ten kilograms lighter than Jia Yun's Sanyuan sword.
The swords Jing Zhanyao gave to Tang Daqian and Jiang Hongpeng were both short-handled swords. In Jing Zhanyao's view, neither of them could compare with Cao Wu in terms of strength, let alone compared with Jia Yun. A short-handled sword was more suitable.
The four swords were all custom-made by Jing Zhanyao, and they could not be made in just a few days. It can be seen that Jing Zhanyao had already planned to wait for Jia Yun and the others to finish the martial arts exam before taking out the swords as gifts for them.
.
After receiving the congratulatory gifts, Jia Yun and the four of them left a little drunkenly. Jiang Hongpeng left alone, while Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian walked together.
It is still snowing in the sky, and the snow is not heavy, and the snowflakes are falling in droves.
Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian all specially put on the black uniforms of Jing's Martial Arts School today. This is their habit. Whenever they come to Jing's Martial Arts School, they will wear school uniforms, even if they are here to be a host today.
The three of them were all wearing black attire and hats, and all were riding horses, braving a lot of snowflakes, and left the Jing Family Martial Arts School.
When he walked out of the gate of Jing's Martial Arts School, Jia Yun deliberately turned back and took a closer look at the gate. He thought of the time when he came here to enroll with Ni Hu and Ni Er. When he thought of the first time he walked into this gate, he felt a strong feeling.
He had a premonition that he would spend a long period of his life in Jing's martial arts school...
Thinking of this, Jia Yun was very emotional.
Time flies, like a fleeting year!
What Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian didn't expect was that today, a major event would happen in the lives of the three of them!
A fierce bloody battle is waiting for them ahead, and a big military achievement is waiting for them...
