Are bodyguards really that sought-after these days?
Most families really can't afford to raise them.
Nanqianyue turned back to look at Green Robe and Ayu, "Where are you two?"
The woman in green chuckled, “According to the regulations of the Prime Minister’s residence, it’s five taels per month.”
Ayu nodded, "Five taels is already a lot."
Wei Da and Li Bing: Oh no, we've said too much.
Nanqianyue shook her head, "I mean, how much do Qin Yi and Xiao Chen pay you each month?"
Green Robe knew best about the money bag for the Southern Migration Month, and understandingly said, "This servant is a maid of the Prime Minister's residence, so naturally I only receive the Prime Minister's monthly allowance. The Prince is just having Steward Lu help support my family."
Ayu glanced at the woman in green: Really?
“This servant has no family left. My lord saved my life, and I ask for no favors in return,” Ayu said sincerely.
Wei Da and Li Bing: ...Girls are so thoughtful and articulate.
"Sigh." Nan Qianyue lamented her poverty and silently took out forty taels of silver and pushed them toward Wei Dali Bing.
"This is your salary for this month."
Wei Da: "I dare not accept two salaries. Protecting Miss Nan is a task assigned to me by the Prince, so the money will naturally be paid by the Prince."
Li Bing: "Your subordinate is terrified. Your lord ordered us to protect Miss Nan, and we dare not accept Miss Nan's money."
Nan Qianyue frowned, feigning seriousness, "They are them, and I am me. If you're not going to take the money, then go back to your own homes and find your own mothers."
Wei Da and Li Bing quickly pocketed the money.
"Do the other bodyguards get the same salary as you?" Nan Qianyue asked calmly, but she was actually sweating bullets.
If all thirty people pay twenty taels... and the monthly salary is six hundred taels... wouldn't we have to sell our jewelry next month?
"Five taels," Wei Da said, quick-wittedly.
"Three vehicles!" Li Bing was confident of victory.
Nanqianyue breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Okay."
It seems Xiao Chen is going to be a little stingy, but she'll treat everyone equally, so... three ounces each.
“Three ounces each, Green-Clad Ayu, you guys help divide them up.” Nanqianyue beckoned.
"Young lady, Miss Xie has brought something." The servant's voice had barely rang out when Wei Dali Bing flew away in a flash.
The servant, carrying a box, bowed and said, "Miss, thank you for handing over the things to me before you leave."
Nanqianyue raised her chin. "Put it on the table."
"Yes." The servant put down the box, bent down, and left.
Nanqianyue calmly opened the box, but her eyes immediately lit up when she saw what was inside.
Silver! Lots of silver!
There was also a letter next to it.
The southward migration month unfolds:
Qianqian, this is the money I lost to you the day we played polo. With the interest from the past few days, it's a total of one thousand taels. I couldn't get away, so I had my sister bring it to you.
Don't forget the meal you owe me.
Xie Yanzhou.
Nanqianyue took a deep breath.
Such usurious loans doubled in just a few days, turning 500 taels into 1,000 taels!
This is sending her money!
True brothers!
"Green Robe, have your servant go to the Xie residence and ask Miss Xie when Xie Yanzhou is free. I'd like to invite him and Miss Xie to Wan Shi Lou for dinner!" Nan Qianyue smiled radiantly.
The woman in green hesitated for a long time before replying, "...Yes."
Money can make a girl happy; we should tell the prince about this as soon as possible.
There's also the matter of the young lady inviting Xie Shisun to dinner, which can't be delayed.
The woman in green hurried away with small, quick steps.
“Miss, shall I help you complete the lessons that Granny Qiao left for you?” Ayu began to show her skills.
The words "learning skills" made the southward migration month feel dejected.
Granny Qiao, understanding that she had been frightened recently, gave her a few days off, but assigned her homework!
"Never mind, Granny Qiao could tell at a glance whether it was embroidered by me or not." Nan Qianyue was very frustrated.
Ayu smiled and squatted down beside Nanqianyue's legs. "Don't worry, Miss. I can imitate your needlework. I guarantee that Granny Qiao won't be able to tell the difference."
"Really?" Nanqianyue perked up and excitedly hugged Ayu. "Ayu, you're such a good baby! I love you to death!"
Ah Yu smiled broadly, having earned points for her lord once again, haha.
call out--
A strange gust of wind blew by.
Zheng—
The sound of a sword being drawn rang out immediately.
When Nanqianyue turned around, he saw Wei Da and Li Bing surrounding Ye Jian, who had suddenly appeared, with their swords drawn.
Li Bing sheathed his sword first. "Ye Jian? What brings you here? Does the lord have any mission for you?"
Vida was filled with hostility: "Anyone who trespasses on a young lady's property shall be killed!"
"etc!"
Nanqianyue promptly reached out to stop Wei Da, saying, "Step back, you're one of us."
The key issue is that Wei Da is no match for Ye Jian. If she angers Ye Jian, she might not be able to stop him.
Ye Jian cast a cold glance at Wei Da, "Didn't you hear? We're on the same side."
Wei Da pursed his lips, slipped into the shadows, and sent a guard to inform the prince.
Nan Qianyue looked at Ye Jian, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Speak, what is it?"
Ye Jian's face instantly turned deeply worried. "After receiving a letter from Nan Jing, the lord locked himself up, refusing to eat or drink, and begged Miss Nan to persuade him."
"Not eating or drinking?" Nan Qianyue frowned. "Then do you know what's in the letter?"
Ye Jian shook his head. "I don't know."
But he guessed what it was related to, so he decided to let Miss Nan ask for herself. After all, Miss Nan already knew about the lord's past two years ago.
"Is he at the embassy?" Nan Qianyue stood up.
Ye Jian: "No, my lord is in a civilian residence."
Nanqianyue guessed, "A secret outpost?"
Ye Jian nodded, "Yes."
"Let's go." Nan Qianyue patted her skirt and walked out of the courtyard.
Ayu followed excitedly. "My lord is so clever. He pretended to be pitiful to win Nan's sympathy."
