Zhao Kun thought for a moment, "I do have a suitable candidate, she's a widow, her husband died early, her only son went to the army and never came back, now she makes a living by washing clothes for others, she lives next door to me, we've been neighbors for many years, we're so familiar with each other."
Jiang Jiuyue still trusted Zhao Kun very much. She told him the address of the new home and asked him to invite him over when he had time so that she could meet him. If it was suitable, then it would be a deal.
Zhao Kun was very grateful for his master's work. When his shift was over that day, he took his neighbor Cao Pozi to Jiang Jiuyue's new home.
Hearing a knock on the door, Jiang Jiuyue opened the door and saw Zhao Kun and a maid standing at the door.
"Master, I brought 그 here. Her husband's surname is Cao. Our neighbors call her Mrs. Cao. She is famous for her hard work."
Mrs. Cao bowed slightly towards Jiang Jiuyue, "Hello, Madam Jiang."
On the way here, Zhao Kun had already told Mrs. Cao about Jiang Jiuyue. Now that she was divorced, she could no longer call him wife, so Mrs. Cao called her Madam Jiang when they met.
Jiang Jiuyue nodded at her and invited them in to talk.
"Master, your house is nice. There is a well in the yard. It is much more convenient to get water. You don't have to go outside to fetch water."
Jiang Jiuyue smiled and said, "We met by chance. It's a good fit. I'm here to rent."
Mrs. Cao also took the opportunity to look around this strange little courtyard.
"My yard is not crowded, and there is not much work to do. I just need you to clean it up and help cook two meals. You can also help me take care of a child during the day. If you need to stay here at night, I will let you know in advance."
Because Jiang Jiuyue thought that if she were to become a bodyguard, she would definitely not be able to guarantee to go home every day. Her three daughters were still young, and someone had to be at home at night.
Mrs. Cao nodded and said, "I don't have any other family. If you need me, you can live here."
Jiang Jiuyue was quite satisfied with her situation and continued, "My salary is not too high, five cents a month. If you think it's okay, Mrs. Cao, why don't you try to cook a meal today? If there is no problem, you can come to work tomorrow."
Jiang Jiuyue thought everything else about Mrs. Cao was fine, but she had to try it to know the cooking skills.
If Mrs. Cao’s cooking skills are not very good, she will have to find another one.
Naturally, Mrs. Cao agreed. If she wanted to work at the 덿 family, she had to have good cooking skills.
When Zhao Kun saw that Mrs. Cao was going to taste the food here, he quickly volunteered to help buy the food and have a meal at the same time.
Jiang Jiuyue raised an eyebrow and looked at him. He chuckled, "Mrs. Cao's cooking skills are quite good. I heard that she worked as a kitchen helper in a household when she was young. I'm here to have a meal. Master, you won't mind, right?"
Seeing him like this, Jiang Jiuyue shook her head helplessly, "It's up to you. Remember to buy less vegetables. If you buy too much and can't finish them, they won't be fresh tomorrow."
Zhao Kun said "Hey" and walked out, "Master, please let me go, I'll be back soon!"
Seeing Zhao Kun go out, Mrs. Cao also fetched a bucket of water and went to clean up the kitchen.
Jiang Jiuyue had nothing to do, so after thinking about it, she went back to her room and lay down.
They have to pay their parents to work for them, and they do it for their enjoyment. Why should she go and work with them? Isn't that just a waste of time?
Soon, Mrs. Cao cleaned up the kitchen and Zhao Kun also bought the vegetables.
When the vegetables were in the hands of Mrs. Cao, she didn't need any help. She was responsible for washing, selecting and cooking the vegetables.
Jiang Jiuyue had nothing to do, so he asked Zhao Kun to continue practicing self-defense at this time.
Zhao Kun was also a chatterbox. While practicing, he chatted with Jiang Jiuyue about the gossip he encountered while patrolling the streets.
"This afternoon, when I was patrolling the streets and came to Chen's house, I saw a man being thrown out by a servant. His face was bruised and swollen, and it seemed that he had been beaten up."
Jiang Jiuyue casually said, "Who is Chen 꺶그? Why did you beat him up and throw him out?"
Zhao Kun knew that Jiang Jiuyue had rarely been around the county before, so he explained carefully, "Chen is a local in our county. He used to be an official in the capital. When he got older, he retired and returned to his hometown in our county to retire. Although he resigned from his official position, he has many students, and his family also has children serving as officials in the court. He is very powerful!"
Jiang Jiuyue couldn't help but feel a little surprised after hearing this. It turned out that there was such a thing in this small county.
"I've inquired about it. That guy is a liar who actually managed to trick Chen. Beating him up and throwing him out is the least he can do. For a high-ranking official like that, beating a liar to death is easier than stepping on an ant, isn't that right, Master?"
Jiang Jiuyue nodded. According to what Zhao Kun said, Chen Yu was an official in the capital before, which meant he was indeed a very important person in this small county. Killing him was of no consequence to him.
"But you can't blame him for being so bold. The Chen family has offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver to save the peony king. Master, you know what, I happened to be on duty at the flower viewing banquet last year, and I saw Chen's peony king with my own eyes. It was really beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful flower!"
Zhao Kun talked about the grand occasion of last year's flower viewing banquet, but Jiang Jiuyue's attention was completely attracted by Chen's reward of 1,000 taels of silver.
If she could save the Peony King, she would get a reward of 1,000 taels of silver. Wouldn't that be an easy task for her?
Jiang Jiuyue even thought that this one thousand taels of silver was like a gift from God to her, and there was no difference between it and picking it up for free!
"If there is a way to save Chen 꺶그's peony, should we go directly to their house?"
Zhao Kun's mumbling was interrupted, and he blinked at her in confusion, "Master, do you know a gardener who can save the peony king?"
Jiang Jiuyue shook her head. “I don’t know any gardener, but I think I should be able to cure that peony.”
Zhao Kun looked at her in shock, "Master, the body of the flower is different. You can cure the body, but you may not be able to cure the flower!"
Jiang Jiuyue glanced at him and said, "How do you know if you don't try? What if I can cure it? That's one thousand taels of silver!"
Zhao Kun looked embarrassed, "Master, one thousand taels of silver is a lot, but if you can't cure it, you will be blamed by Chen. No matter how capable you are, you can't afford to offend that kind of official!"
Jiang Jiuyue smiled and said, "I haven't even tried yet, do you think I can't do it?"
Zhao Kun thought about it and gave Jiang Jiuyue an idea, "Master, why don't you go find the county magistrate's wife and ask her to recommend you to Chen's mansion for a try. For the county magistrate's sake, even if you can't be cured, Chen won't do anything to you."
