Chapter 443 Madam, you don't need to be under so much pressure.
Lin Chun frowned as she looked at the indigo in her hand, her face showing disgust: "This kind of inferior stuff is really useless. It's a waste of Madam's beauty." As she spoke, she pinched her chin and carefully examined Jiang Nuanzhi's face: "But fortunately, Madam's appearance is excellent."
No woman dislikes hearing kind words, including Jiang Nuanzhi. Her eyes crinkled with delight; she was clearly in a very good mood.
"All done. Madam, would you like to have your meal now? The Princess is already waiting," Lin Chun said.
Jiang Nuanzhi was completely impressed by Lin Chun's meticulous care when she woke up that morning.
She even scented her clothes; so elegant, so incredibly elegant.
"Linchun, how much was your monthly allowance in the past?"
While eating breakfast, Jiang Nuanzhi grabbed a chicken leg and asked about it with great curiosity.
Everyone was present when I woke up in the morning.
Jiang Nuanzhi, the young princess, Lin Chundongcang, and Yuchuan dined together.
Lin Chun stared at Jiang Nuanzhi's greasy hands holding the chicken leg, looking at her again and again, and finally came to Jiang Nuanzhi's side: "Madam, let Lin Chun serve you your meal."
Jiang Nuanzhi waved her hand: "No need. Sit down and let's talk properly."
Lin Chun forcibly controlled herself and looked away from Jiang Nuanzhi's hands: "In the past, when I was with the old lady, I received fifty taels of silver a month."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Chun added, "Later, by chance, I entered the camp and became a centurion, earning ten taels of silver a month."
Jiang Nuanzhi was stunned: "That much difference?"
Lin Chun nodded: "Therefore, Lin Chun prefers to serve Madam."
"Tch, Madam, don't listen to her. When we were centurions, we could exchange heads for money during battles. Every month she earned a hundred taels of silver." Dongzang, like Jiang Nuanzhi, was also gnawing on a chicken leg, but he ate much faster than Jiang Nuanzhi, and now only the bones were left.
Jiang Nuanzhi listened, completely stunned.
But then Lin Chun said, "I don't like killing."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Madam, I don't serve just anyone. For example, someone in the capital once invited me to serve her for a thousand taels of silver a month, but I didn't go."
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked twice: "My goodness, one hundred taels is fine, but one thousand taels?"
Jiang Nuanzhi secretly counted her wallet, which she thought was already quite full. In other words, even after working so hard for so long, it wasn't enough to pay Lin Chun's monthly salary for half a year.
"No, Linchun, are you sure it really is one thousand taels, or is someone trying to scam you?"
Lin Chun nodded, then gestured with her lip: "You can ask the little princess if you don't believe me."
As she said this, she looked at the young princess and asked, "Princess, if I had asked you for two thousand taels back then, would you have agreed?"
Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes widened as she turned to look at the young princess.
"So it was you, you bastard!"
The young princess, head down, frantically shoveled rice into her mouth: "."
"It's me, it's me, so what? I might not agree to two thousand taels!"
Dongcang suddenly sprang to his feet: "One thousand taels! The princess offered me two thousand taels, hahaha, so you're only worth one thousand taels! Now you know the difference between us, right?"
Jiang Nuanzhi suddenly realized something was wrong. She looked directly at the young princess and said, "So, you offered them a thousand taels, but I only offered a hundred?"
The young princess suddenly realized something was wrong and swallowed hard. "Um, I...I was so naive. Sister Nuan, please don't be angry. If you're willing to come and keep me company now, I'll offer you ten thousand taels of silver."
Yu Chuan, who was receiving fifty taels of silver a month, lowered his head and shoveled rice into his mouth, his eyes gradually becoming resentful.
One thousand taels, two thousand taels, ten thousand taels.
So you think you're worthless?
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
Hearing that it was 10,000 taels, Jiang Nuanzhi wasn't very happy; she was even more upset.
The main point is that the young princess was telling the truth; she really could come up with ten thousand taels! The crucial point is that she was also recklessly inflating prices!
Why are all the women in the world so rich, except for her?
Bringing back two formidable individuals is a good thing, but did Li Rong consider that such people cost money?
Without further ado, let's stick to the previous rate of fifty taels of silver per person per month. Good heavens, that's twelve hundred taels a year! Or maybe I should go serve the young princess for a month, earn ten thousand taels of silver, and then pay them their wages?
“Madam, you don’t need to be under so much pressure.” Lin Chun said, finally taking advantage of Jiang Nuanzhi’s inattention to take the chicken leg from her hand, wipe the grease off her hands with a handkerchief, sighed with relief, and said, “I can waive your monthly salary for two months. If you still can’t get it after two months, that’s fine. I’ll ask the General for it. If you can’t get it from the General, that’s fine too. I will urge you to do chores to pay back the monthly salary.”
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Thank you."
Lin Chun smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at Lin Chun, and then, within her sight, grabbed a chicken leg and took a bite. She then picked up a teacup with her greasy hands and took a sip.
Lin Chun: ".!"
Jiang Nuanzhi let out a sigh of relief, feeling much better.
Then, he met Dongzang's eyes.
Dongzang immediately declared, "I will ask the General for my monthly allowance; I absolutely will not accept the Lady's money."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
Looking for Li Rong?
All of Li Rong's possessions are with me, aren't they?
He's probably penniless now.
After a moment's thought, he suddenly asked, "How much did you get paid for killing an enemy in the past?"
"Five hundred coins each." Lin Chun held a handkerchief and wiped her teacup. "If you want to cut off the ears, you can exchange a pair for five hundred coins, or two pairs for one tael."
“Yes, that’s right.” Dongzang nodded as well: “An arm is fine, but it would be too tiring to bring back an arm and a head.”
"Ugh~"
The young princess, her face pale, finally couldn't help but gag: "Hey, can you guys not talk during meals?"
As she spoke, seeing Jiang Nuanzhi still gnawing on a chicken leg, her face paled even more. She covered her mouth and ran out.
Jiang Nuanzhi took another bite of the chicken leg: "Tsk, still too young."
Dongzang glanced in the direction the little princess had left, then looked at Jiang Nuanzhi.
He nodded to himself.
Is this their lady? Judging from the looks of it, she's got guts.
Lin Chun seized another opportunity to grab Jiang Nuanzhi's hand, wiped off the grease, and then cut the chicken leg into eight pieces, placing them neatly in front of Jiang Nuanzhi.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at Lin Chun with a smile, and then reached for the chicken leg on the plate again.
Yuchuan: "."
She should be looking for the princess now, but she couldn't help staring at Doctor Jiang's hand.
Dead eyes, stop looking.
Damn it, get out of here!
The young princess, who was vomiting violently outside, cried out, "Dead Yuchuan! Where is he?!"
...
In Qingquan Village, the Li family was completely surrounded by a group of guards.
Zhao Yuniang was at the front, dressed in a light red dress and wearing a gold hairpin, looking exceptionally noble. At this moment, she stood with her hands on her hips and arrogantly ordered, "Someone, break down this gate for me."
