Chapter 254: You Have to Listen to Me
Yesterday, Ji Huaishan handed over the matter of settling Yu Shu to Ji Xiaogu, originally asking her aunt to live with her, but after Xue Rui came to the door at noon today, Ji Huaishan had to ask the housekeeper to clean up a separate courtyard and let Yu Shu move in, and assigned a maid to serve.
Yu Shu went to see Aunt Cui before being led to her residence.
The small courtyard is adjacent to the garden, in the east corner, a passage before and after, the spring grass grows slowly, the surroundings are still quiet, the door knocker is not locked, there are three houses in the yard, an old locust is planted under the northwest wall, Yu Shu entered the yard, saw the locust tree at a glance, thought about it, then sneered, ignored it first, turned around in the yard again, and only entered a bedroom facing south after the last day, and let the rough servant who came with her put her luggage on the living room table.
walked two subordinates, left a maid down, combed a snail head, melon seed face, fourteen or fifteen years old, said that it was called "Sang'er", this Sang'er carried Yu Shu's burden and wanted to go into the house to tidy up, but was stopped by Yu Shu.
"It's time for lunch, I'm hungry, you go get some food."
Sang Er said: "Girl, it's still about a moment away from starting the meal, and the steward will explain it, and someone will send it."
Yu Shu said: "Then go and pour a pot of tea, there is not even a water in this house."
Sang Er looked in the room, and indeed the teapots and cups were empty, so she had to take out the teas and find a place to make tea.
Yu Shu released the Jinbao in her sleeve pocket, rolled on the table with it, she opened the bag, touched a pair of scissors to come out, walked around the room, looked at the curtain on the bed, tore off two pieces of cloth, spit into two mouthfuls of spit, twisted into a strand, moved a stool to the yard, put it under the old locust tree, found a hidden branch, stepped on the high to tie the rope, tied a dead knot, and jumped down.
Because she heard Xue Rui say that this right judgment house is from the handwriting of a feng shui master in the old years, she paid special attention to the fact that the layout of the Ji Mansion is all good, but a locust tree in this small courtyard is a hidden murder opportunity, if two locust trees are planted at the door into two ghosts to control the door, it is good, but it can be placed in that position, and there is no well and no stove in the courtyard, so it becomes a hidden ghost, and if you live here for a long time, you will not get sick and get stained with mold.
Fortunately, she knows everything in Feng Shui, it is not difficult to break, Lao Huai is hanging the tree again, it is very cloudy, she twisted a sling rope and wrapped a mouthful of saliva as popularity, and stabilized it for the time being, and then looked for a bowl of rooster blood that played in the morning, scraped the bark and splashed it without worry.
As for whether Ji Huaishan had the intention or unintentionally arranged for her to live here, only the ghost knows.
Yu Shu did this, Sang'er poured tea and came back, Yu Shu left the box containing pen and ink and didn't let her move, and the rest were carried into the bedroom and cleaned up with her, anyway, there was nothing important.
When it was time to eat, sure enough, there was a food box to deliver, three dishes and one soup, meat and vegetarian, Yu Shu came out with Jinbao under the table, startled the little girl, and stood in the corner tremblingly.
"Don't be afraid it's not a rat, don't bite." Yu Shu kindly explained, divided a plate, a little in each dish, put it on the ground and let Jinbao eat, watch it smell and start to taste before she went to wash her hands and moved her chopsticks with confidence.
Since he was stunned on Bi Qing's boat and then escaped, Yu Shu found that Jinbao had the same ability, and after a few attempts, he was sure that this little yellow hair did not eat any poisonous and bad things, and his nose was more than that of a dog.
It is indispensable to guard against people, who knows if they will get some chronic poison or something in her meal, or Ji Laosan has a grudge against her, and his brain cramps for a while, poisoning her life.
Sang Er was afraid of Jinbao, and when Yu Shu had dinner, she packed up the dishes and chopsticks and ran out, Yu Shu yawned, grabbed Jinbao, and went into the bedroom to take a nap, and just sat on the bed, she heard a question outside:
"Miss Yu, are you inside, but after eating, our young lady invites you over."
It was Ji Xingxuan who sent a maid to invite someone.
When Yu Shu heard this, not only did he not get up, but he also fell crooked on the bed, kicked off his shoes and covered the quilt, pillowed his arms, and said lazily: "Go and tell your young lady, I don't have energy at this time, when I wake up, let her come by herself, if you want to learn skills, you are afraid of running away, have you ever seen a master go to the student."
After speaking, there was no sound outside the door, as if someone had left, Yu Shu didn't care how the maid went back to learn from Ji Xingxuan, yawned, grabbed the little yellow hair who wanted to sneak out of bed, and warned:
"Just stay in this house, and if you dare to run around, I will starve you for three days."
"Whew." Jinbao was pulled by her tail, screamed in pain, and lay down on the side of her pillow with a wilt, and Yu Shu closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Ji Xingxuan listened to the maid come back to report and learned Yu Shu's words exactly the same, and the big maid Yunhe sneered:
"She really thinks of herself as a character, miss, I'll call her.
This Yunhe is the person specially sent by Ji Huaishan to Ji Xingxuan's side, he can be literate and martial, he has served for three years, and he is very loyal, and there is almost nothing to say between the master and servant, so he said that before the Dayan test, Ji Xingxuan went to Huixing Street to find Yu Shu for advice, and she was the one who knocked on the door in the alley and shouted.
and Aunt Cui was instructed to find Yu Shu's sister and brother to go home after entering Beijing, which was also the way she led, so it was clear that Yu Shu was just a girl brought by a concubine in the third master's room in the family. At noon, the eldest son of the Xue family came to the door with someone, and she also heard about it, so she regarded Yu Shu's current attitude as a bully, how could she look at it.
"Yun He," Ji Xingxuan stopped her, shook her head, and said: "Right now, I have a request for her, and the reason is that I should go to see her, you haven't seen this Yu girl, she is a tough temper, and people are a little weird, if she doesn't meet her wishes, maybe how to toss, wait, I'll go over in the afternoon, call someone to watch first, and then talk when the person wakes up."
"Miss, you can't always be so good-tempered." Yun He complained.
Ji Xingxuan said: "I'm not good-tempered, what's so angry."
waited until the afternoon, when the maid came to report that Yu Shu had woken up, Ji Xingxuan took Yun He over.
Ji Xingxuan's yard is not far from the garden, and the road to the place where Yu Shu lives is half a cup of tea, Sang'er was waiting outside the courtyard, seeing Ji Xingxuan hurriedly saluting, Yun He asked her what she was doing, Sang'er said:
"Didn't you do it, just throw a few copper coins in the living room to play."
Ji Xingxuan's expression moved, she raised her feet and entered the courtyard, glanced at the old huai in the corner of the courtyard, and asked the maid which room Yu Shu was in, Sang Er hurriedly walked to the front, pointed to the door to lift the curtain, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw Yu Shu sitting at the round table, throwing a few copper plates in her hand, looking at the direction of the door.
"Did Miss Yu wake up?" Ji Xingxuan asked, walked over, sat down opposite her, Yun He stepped forward and untied the cloak on her shoulder, stood behind her, and stared at Yu Shu.
Yu Shu said "um", and then he didn't say anything, and the copper plate in his hand went up and down.
Ji Xingxuan said: "Then I'll start learning today, I have heard some of these six techniques from Master Qing Zheng, there seems to be a general outline, please describe it first, and I will copy it back and recite it."
Yun He made a look, and the other maid who came with him put the small bookcase on the table, opened it for a total of three layers, took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and placed it in front of Ji Xingxuan.
Yu Shu saw that she was well prepared, and said to her: "I haven't learned to walk yet, I want to run." There is a general outline that is good, I gave it to you, do you know how to use it?"
Ji Xingxuan was not annoyed by the mockery in her words, and said with a calm expression: "Then I have to trouble the girl to teach me."
"That's right," Yu Shu held the copper plate thrown into the air in his hand, stretched out a finger, pointed at her, and sneered: "Now I teach you, not you teach me, I don't need you to say what to do, since I promised your grandfather that he would teach you the Six Techniques, I will teach it with my heart, you just need to obediently listen to my arrangement, otherwise you won't be able to learn, don't rely on me when you turn around."
Ji Xingxuan looked at the fingers dangling in front of her, frowned, and said, "I can listen to your arrangement, but you have to write down this general outline for me first, I think it has nothing to do with how you teach me."
"Okay," Yu Shuzhong stretched out a palm, spread it out in front of her, and said, "First give me the two thousand taels of silver that day I said was good, and I will tell you the general outline immediately."
Yu Shu slept for a while before remembering this, the two thousand taels of silver that Ji Huaishan promised to her had not yet been seen, and the tuition fees had not been paid, so let her teach a fart.
"Two thousand silver?" Ji Xingxuan was stunned for a moment, she didn't know that there was such a thing, thinking that her grandfather said that he had agreed to Yu Shu's two conditions that day, so she took it as one of them, turned her head and said to the big girl:
"Yunhe, you go to the study to find your grandfather and ask about this silver."
Yun He obeyed, Ji Xingxuan saw that Yu Shu ignored her, and looked like he didn't see a rabbit or an eagle, so he didn't ask anymore, sat with her and waited, and it took more than half an hour for Yun He to come back, accompanied by a housekeeper that Yu Shu had seen yesterday.
The housekeeper held a flat box in his hand and handed it to Ji Xingxuan: "Miss, this is the two thousand silver that the old man confessed to give to Miss Yu."
Ji Xingxuan didn't look at it, and directly handed over the box to Yu Shu, she had plenty of food and clothing since she was a child, and she wore all the best clothes, and she had no obsession with money, although there were many thousand taels, she didn't feel distressed at all.
But Yu Shu cared about this, she opened the box, took out the stack of silver tickets in it one by one, distinguished the real from the fake, counted enough two thousand taels, raised her eyebrows and smiled, she didn't want the box, she stuffed it directly into her arms, raised her chin and said to Ji Xingxuan:
"Okay, I said you write."
Yun He looked at her when she saw Qian's eyes, a mockery flashed on her face, she turned around and asked the housekeeper to leave, and then withdrew the two maids, standing at the door, only to hear the narration from the house:
"Heaven and man are the same as one day and two, heaven and earth are in three and wrong in three, earth and man are in the same world in four, and earth and man are in the same world in five."
After a cup of tea, Ji Xingxuan looked at the general outline copied on the paper, finally had some smiles in his eyes, dried the ink, folded it carefully into his sleeve, looked up and asked Yu Shu:
"Okay, you say, how are you going to teach me?"
Yu Shu was in a good mood at this time, so he pressed the copper coin in his hand on the table and pointed:
"Don't worry, these six are the ones who need to rely on these three children, before learning, you have to choose the right money, and go find a thousand and twenty-four Tongbao first."
