Chapter 185
"Are you still sleeping?" Yunque wanted to pull her eyelids apart.
Shen Jiao waved her hand: "What's the rush? It's so early in the morning. Why don't you come up and sleep with me for a while, or go downstairs and eat something."
Shen Jiao grabbed a handful of money and gave it to her.
Skylark said reluctantly: "I've already eaten."
"Then eat some more." Shen Jiao didn't want to get up anyway.
How comfortable it is to stay in bed. She never knew before that a nap could be so sweet.
Yunque watched her fall asleep, so he had no choice but to take the money downstairs and whispered in her ear: "I'll come and call you later, don't sleep too long!"
"Look..."
Shen Jiao perfunctorily tucked her head into the quilt.
lark:……
"I don't care about you!"
She ran away in a hurry.
By the time Shen Jiao had lain down enough, she had exchanged the money, bought breakfast for Shen Jiao, and was sitting at the table counting the silver.
Shen Jiao was surprised to see that she had exchanged more money than she had received. "Who did you exchange it with? It's quite a lot. Where did you find such a rip-off?"
"Where else could it be? It's the same person from yesterday."
"Hao is rich?"
"That's him, the so-and-so guild president."
"The president of the World Chamber of Commerce, why did you want to switch with him?"
"He's rich," Yun Que said matter-of-factly. "If I were rich, I'd definitely buy back the things I liked from others. Maybe he's the same way? There's no harm in asking, and I also want to ask if he put the offering back."
Shen Jiao: "...Are you asking about both of these things together?"
"What's wrong with that?" Yu Que looked at her blankly.
He seemed completely unaware that mixing these two things together didn't seem like an ordinary transaction, but more like a threat.
Shen Jiao: "There's nothing wrong with that. How did he react?"
"You don't seem very happy, but who cares? I am happy anyway. If you weren't such a deep sleeper, I would have asked you to go with me."
"Don't worry about me, I have my own arrangements."
Shen Jiao didn't want to provoke anyone from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. He finally had some free time, so it would be nice to just stay quiet.
"Okay, I'm too lazy to care about you. Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, let's go and see it quickly. If we're late, we might not be able to buy it."
Yunque urged.
Shen Jiao was not in a hurry at all: "Why are you in a hurry? If you can't buy it today, you can buy it tomorrow. As long as someone is willing to pay, servants are like oil tea and rice cakes. You can get as much as you want and as good as you want. You are going to be a saint, so don't be in a hurry. It's not decent."
"Yeah...you're right."
Yu Que pondered for a moment and nodded solemnly.
Shen Jiao was talking nonsense, but it was okay as long as she believed it. She still had to eat breakfast slowly.
After eating something sweet, they washed up and went out to eat something salty. The two of them bought a bag of dried meat, chewing it as they walked. When they arrived at the place, their faces were numb from chewing and they looked cold and indifferent.
The broker saw Yunque and wanted to make a joke, but seeing their expressions, he swallowed his words back and simply led them to the backyard to see people.
"Look, girls! These are the best. They're quick and nimble, and they work very carefully. Look at that one, he even knows some skills."
A girl who looked to be in her twenties stood up and bowed, looking very graceful.
Yun Que walked over, stared at her, turned around and asked, "She's not from here, is she?"
"Good eyesight! She's from out of town. She was originally a servant in a wealthy family. When her master got into trouble, they sent her away. She had no relatives and nowhere to go, so she simply sold herself. I saw her when I went out a while ago, and I bought her back. If you want her, give me twenty taels and take her away."
"Twenty taels?!" Yun Que exclaimed in surprise, "That's so expensive!"
"Hey, this is not expensive, I have even less..." The broker was about to explain.
Shen Jiao continued, "She's a martial arts maid. Unlike ordinary people, those with special skills are always more valuable. However, she has to be truly worth the price. What kind of fists, kicks, or weapons are you good at?"
"This servant is good at archery and horse riding."
"That's quite good..."
It seems that he is not from a small family.
Yun Que became interested: "Horse archery? That sounds amazing, big sister, can you show us?"
"I am unworthy of being called sister by your Excellency. If you wish to see me, you can go get me the bow."
Her bow looked pretty good. She said it was a gift from her previous owner. When Yunque saw her shoot down the fallen leaves in the yard with one arrow, he immediately cheered.
"Amazing! Amazing! I want her!"
Not to mention Yunque, Shen Jiao also wants her.
Shen Jiao saw clearly just now that she didn't put much effort in. She was probably just thinking about making the child happy. She glanced at the child and shot the arrow casually. It was such a beautiful shot, and she also made sure that the arrow didn't fly out of the yard. This is not something that can be achieved by casual practice.
Just for this one thing, let alone twenty taels, it would be worth double the money.
So she can't be a killer?
Shen Jiao was really a little skeptical, and Yun Que happened to ask at this moment: "Outsider, what do you think of her?"
"Very good," Shen Jiao asked, "Where are you from, and what did your previous master do?"
"I was originally from Lingwai Road. My last master was a businessman, running a horse farm in Hedong Road. Because of some unjust activities, the seventeenth master of Tongcai Mountain Villa confiscated my property and returned it to the people. I was then dismissed. Upon returning home, I discovered that I had no relatives. That's why I sold myself and came here."
She said it clearly.
Shen Jiao felt as if he were in another world.
Seventeenth Young Master...
Xue Shun... has really grown up and seems to be living a good life.
Shen Jiao didn't ask any more questions.
Skylark had many more questions: "Does a horse farm raise horses? What's it like? Is it fun?"
She never stops talking.
Shen Jiao held her down and said, "You can take her back and talk slowly. Do you want anything else?"
Yun Que said without hesitation: "I already have such a good slave, what else do I need others for? By the way, what's your name? My name is Yun Que, and I am the future saint of Nanmao. You will be my divine servant in the future."
She paid the money promptly and pulled Shen Jiao to the maid named Luzhu.
After talking for a long time, he didn't forget to send her away and comfort Shen Jiao: "Don't worry, stranger, she and I are both fake. We are best friends. I will come to play with you tomorrow."
Shen Jiao looked at the child trying to level the water, not getting angry at all. Smiling, she leaned close to her ear and said, "Really? Then did you know she can hear from this distance? People who are skilled in martial arts have exceptionally sharp hearing."
lark:!
She turned her head stiffly.
Lu Zhu, who was buying snacks for her, smiled at her and knelt down.
Yes, she could hear it.
The chirping and dancing lark immediately wilted, but soon became energetic again.
"You know, I'm saying this for the good of the three of us!"
