Chapter 508 Princess's Secret Guard
Su Xueyi thought about going with Shen Yueyao, but then she remembered that those people were Princess Yan Ning's people.
If he goes, it might make those people unhappy, and make people doubt his purpose and think it is not pure enough.
Yaoniang is the daughter of Princess Yanning, so it would be better if she went to visit.
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao discussed it and decided that Shen Yueyao should go there in person without bringing anyone else to visit.
If these people are willing to come out and serve her, she will naturally make use of them.
If these people still wanted to live in seclusion, Shen Yueyao would not force them.
Shen Yueyao first went to a remote alley in the city, where there was a house at the innermost part of the alley.
When she walked over, she could smell the aroma of tofu.
She thought, could he be making tofu?
Shen Yueyao concentrated her attention to feel it and heard the sound of grinding stones inside.
Shen Yueyao's expression changed and she knocked on the door of the mansion.
"Who is it?"
A woman's voice was heard, and soon the door was opened.
However, when it was opened, only a small gap was revealed, and I could see outside through the gap.
He looks very alert and cautious.
When she saw Shen Yueyao, the woman was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "Miss, is there anything wrong?"
Shen Yueyao said: "Auntie, I am here to see you, as entrusted by an old friend."
One good thing about this era is that there is no such thing as demolition.
The city will remain the same, and the streets and alleys will not change.
These houses have been built for a long time. If they become dilapidated, the owners will at most repair them. There will be no such thing as demolition in the technological age.
The woman's expression changed. "Wait a moment, young lady."
As she spoke, she went in and said something, but soon the door was opened.
An uncle came out, wearing an apron, and seemed to have just been grinding tofu.
When he saw Shen Yueyao's appearance, his eyes were shocked, and then he bowed and said, "Miss, please come in and talk!"
After entering the yard, the woman watched carefully at the door to make sure no one heard anything.
Shen Yueyao asked, "May I ask if this uncle is the former Yan Jiu?"
As she spoke, Shen Yueyao took out the token.
The man quickly knelt down, "Subordinate Yan Jiu greets the master!"
Seeing the token is like seeing the master.
"You are indeed Yan Jiu!"
"May I ask how did you get this token?"
He saw that the woman in front of him was somewhat similar to the princess of the past, and he couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind.
Shen Yueyao got straight to the point and said, "This is the token my mother gave me. She gave me the address and asked me to come find you."
Yan Jiu's eyes were red with excitement, "The princess...she's still alive!"
When the princess married a foreign prince, she dismissed these secret guards, gave them an address to live, and arranged new identities for them.
The princess said that if fate allowed them to meet again.
Will come to this address to find them.
So they have lived here for all these years and never moved.
They were just afraid that one day the princess's people would find this place and not find them.
But later they heard that the princess died on the way to the marriage, and they couldn't believe it.
But I still live in this house.
The woman's name was He Ping. She was a Jianghu person. When she was young, she was injured and was rescued by Yan Jiu. The two then got married.
When the woman was young, her parents made tofu. After they got married, He Ping stayed away from the troubles in the martial arts world and lived a stable life with Yan Jiu in hiding.
The two people make a living by making and selling tofu.
Although it is a bit hard, it is also peaceful and stable.
They also have a son.
However, their son was already married, and he accompanied his daughter-in-law to her hometown village.
Yan Jiu told Shen Yueyao about his stable life over the years.
Shen Yueyao got to know him better.
Yan Jiu actually wanted to know about the princess very much, but he was already very excited when he knew that the princess was still alive.
"Yan Jiu, this is the life you secret guards have always dreamed of, right?"
"Peaceful and tranquil."
Yan Jiu said: "Young Master, we would rather stay by the princess' side and be loyal to her."
Yan Jiu and his group were people who were saved by the late queen. The late queen had people teach them kung fu so that they could protect Her Royal Highness the Princess.
This is their mission.
Over the years, he ground and sold tofu every day, but he felt guilty that he had not protected the princess well.
Now that I know the princess is still alive, I feel like my heart has been redeemed.
"I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess has any instructions for us, but we swear allegiance to her until death."
The woman He Ping also knelt down. Yan Jiu had told her some things before, and she knew that this person was the master.
Shen Yueyao said, "All of you get up."
"My mother knew I needed help, so she gave me this address and told me to come find you."
"Don't worry, there's no need to fight right now. I just want to do some business and research some things, and I don't want outsiders to know about it. I'm not confident in leaving it to others, so I feel more at ease leaving it to you to manage."
Other businesses don't matter, but papermaking and printing must be kept secret.
"Don't worry, it's safe to do these things. There's no danger involved, but the main thing is to keep it confidential and prevent others from prying."
"Of course, I will pay you wages. The basic salary is one tael of silver per month, and there are also commission bonuses."
Once the paper is made, it will be cheap and there will naturally be no problem with market sales.
She also adds a light fragrance to the paper, which makes writing smoother and the smell is pleasant.
There is also printing technology that can produce countless books.
When the time comes, there will be a library in the academy that opens.
In the future, the academy can also reward everyone with paper based on their exam results.
You can also open a paper shop or a book store.
Anyway, she is the one who plans and manages the commercial areas near the academy.
In fact, the commission bonus is the biggest part, which is really a lot in more than a month. However, Shen Yueyao did not say these things first. After the paper is actually made and sold, they will know what a grand undertaking this is.
Shen Yueyao said this, but Yan Jiu was not unwilling to follow and pledge allegiance.
But Yan Jiu was a little confused and didn't react.
I thought that being loyal to the young master meant protecting him.
I never thought it was a business matter.
For a moment, Yan Jiu was stunned.
After listening to Shen Yueyao's explanation, Yan Jiu came back to his senses and said respectfully: "My family is willing to follow the young master and be loyal to him. We will never betray him."
Yan Jiu's loyalty is engraved in his bones.
He Ping naturally focused on Yan Jiu.
Moreover, Yan Jiu had also hinted at this matter to her back then, but she didn't care. She insisted on repaying Yan Jiu and being with him.
At this moment, she understood better after listening to the words of the girl in front of her.
She was grateful to Her Royal Highness the Princess. If Her Royal Highness the Princess had not treated them, the secret guards, as human beings, they would have died long ago.
It was because Yan Jiu was alive and later saved her that they had a stable life.
Moreover, what the young master said sounded very powerful.
The young master doesn't trust ordinary people.
