She lowered her head slightly to look at the banknotes that the man had just stuffed into her. She didn't open it to look at them, but it looked thick, so there must be quite a few of them.
There were also many boxes placed in the Lu family's house, with the lids open, filled with fabrics, cakes, jewelry...
At this time, Lin Yunchu became confused again. He didn't know who Xiao Er was and why he gave them such a big gift.
Moreover, when he quietly left, he not only left behind a hundred taels of silver, but also gave her a jade pendant. Although she was not knowledgeable, the jade pendant did not look like an ordinary thing.
Now that so many things have been sent, and the thank-you gifts are really too expensive, Lin Yunchu couldn't help but turn around and look at Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou also frowned slightly, and had the same idea as Lin Yunchu.
They saved Xiao Er simply because they couldn't stand by and watch him die, and they never thought of asking him for any reward.
It would have been fine if he had quietly left behind a hundred taels of silver, but he specially sent someone to deliver so many thank-you gifts and silver notes, which really made people feel a little embarrassed.
Lin Yunchu looked embarrassed. He looked at the man in front of him and said softly, "You..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered that he had not yet asked the name of the person in front of him. He paused slightly, not knowing how to continue.
The man in front of him seemed to have anticipated Lin Yunchu's thoughts. He pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to make himself look more friendly, and lowered his voice and said:
"My name is Chu Jiu."
Chu Jiu?
Lin Yunchu's mouth twitched slightly. If she had some doubts just now, now she had no doubts at all.
One was called Xiao Er and the other was called Chu Jiu. These seemed to be fake names made up to deal with them, but they were exactly the same and indeed came from the same place.
However, she was not interested in their real names. Although Zi'er and Lu Yanzhou saved Xiao Er's life by accident, they were just chance acquaintances after all.
Not revealing their real names might be the best option for them.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunchu curled the corners of his mouth, and did not intend to delve into it. Instead, he continued speaking along with Chu Jiu's words.
"Brother Chu..."
Lin Yunchu nodded towards Chu Jiu as a formal greeting, and then continued:
"As for thank you gifts, Brother Xiao has already left a hundred taels and a jade pendant, which is more than enough. You can take these back. We can't accept them."
Lin Yunchu felt a little regretful. He was a little anxious when he came out with Brother Yanzhou just now, and did not go back to the house to bring Xiao Er's jade pendant. It was obvious that the thing was not an ordinary item, so it would be better to return it.
Saving the man was an accident, so they accepted the one hundred taels. The other things were too valuable.
The banknotes Chu Jiu took out just now were a thick stack. You could tell without even looking at it that it was more money than their shop could earn in several years.
"Saving people was just a simple task, and we never thought about getting any reward."
"Now that we know that Brother Xiao is still safe and sound and has returned to his original place, we are relieved."
Chu Jiu on the opposite side remained motionless no matter what Lin Yunchu said, and the expression on his face remained unchanged. He stood aside, folded his arms around his chest and shook his head at Lin Yunchu.
His mission this time was to deliver these thank-you gifts to the two people from Qingxi Village. If he didn't accept them, he would fail to complete the task assigned by his master.
"Just accept it with peace of mind. Just for saving my master's life, I will give you mountains of gold and silver."
Chu Jiu patted his chest and spoke with a proud look on his face.
When he heard about this before, he was full of gratitude to Lin Yunchu and Lu Yanzhou. If it weren't for them, his master would be in great danger this time.
He knew that this young girl in front of him, who looked young, was actually very thoughtful. She had just been emphasizing that their rescue was just a coincidence.
Seeing the dazzling array of thank-you gifts and banknotes he brought, there was no sign of temptation in her eyes. Her eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of evil thoughts.
He also heard that his master was bitten by a snake and the situation was extremely critical. Fortunately, it was Miss Lin who brought back the dead snake and traveled to the town at night to invite a doctor.
Otherwise, if the master is injured and bitten by a snake, it will be really difficult to deal with.
Miss Lin and Mr. Lu were not false in their gratitude for their master's life-saving grace, even though the master secretly left behind a hundred taels of silver when he left.
Compared with the life-saving grace, this is really nothing. When he saw the two people in front of him today, judging from their reactions, they really didn't want the thank-you gifts he sent.
This made him admire her even more. In such a remote village, it was rare to see so many thank-you gifts and banknotes without anyone having the slightest desire to keep them for himself.
This is not something that ordinary people can do. Even in Kyoto, he has seen many greedy people, and now he sees people like Lin Yunchu and Lu Yanzhou.
Instead, it made him admire him even more. Moreover, when he came here just now, he learned from inquiries that Lu Yanzhou had passed the imperial examination and became a juren.
Just as the master said, he is indeed talented and a rare seedling.
I heard that he will continue to participate in the next imperial examination. Even in the near future, he and his master will be able to meet officially. I wonder what his reaction will be when he sees his master then.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Although Miss Lin in front of him was a peasant girl, after hearing his master talk about her and seeing what he had just seen, he knew that if he were a man, he would definitely be no worse than others.
"No, no, no, I don't need mountains of gold and silver..."
When Lin Yunchu heard Chu Jiu's words, he couldn't help but wave his hands repeatedly, but the person in front of him seemed to be upset, and no matter what Lin Yunchu said, he just shook his head.
this......
Lin Yunchu had no choice but to turn around and whisper a few words to Lu Yanzhou. He raised his head and spoke again, "Brother Chu, please wait a moment. I'll go back and get something and be back soon."
Lin Yunchu thought about going back and bringing back the jade pendant that Xiao Er had taken from her, returning it to Chu Jiu, and asking him to help take it back. She would feel more at ease if she returned it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jiu could guess that Lin Yunchu was probably planning to go back and get back the jade pendant or the one hundred taels of silver.
How could this be possible? He came here specially to give a thank you gift today, so how could he take the things back?
If he really took these things back, he would not be able to hold his head up in front of the other brothers unless his master punished him.
While Lin Yunchu and Lu Yanzhou were still not reacting, Chu Jiu shook his head at them, bowed again, and then stuffed the banknote into Lu Yanzhou's hand.
