Chapter 60: Guests

Du Juan and Shui Lan have been in charge of Lin Ya's jewelry, clothes, silver coins and other items, and they easily found the pair of warm and dense, delicate mutton fat jade bracelets, although the bracelets are old objects, but the inside and outside are still white and flawless, clear and pure, like congealed fat.

The Lin family is a wealthy family, and Du Juan has lived and grown up in it since she was a child, and she has developed a pair of vicious eyes.

It was only after passing his hands and carefully looking at it that he could be sure that these bracelets were worth at least one hundred taels of silver when they were taken out and sold.

If you meet a buyer who likes mutton fat jade, it is not certain that the price can rise to 150 taels.

When Du Juan was in the Lin family, she was just a second-class girl, and her monthly silver was only three hundred copper coins, plus the reward she received from her sweet mouth, she could only accumulate six or seven taels of silver a year, and now she earned a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets worth more than one hundred taels of silver, which she couldn't earn after ten years of hard work.

At the same time, he believes that his decision is not wrong.

What's so good about being loyal to the Lin family?

Since taking the task, she has not received any benefits.

Where is this pair of mutton fat jade bracelets really coming from?

At the same time, she began to continue to fight Lin Ya's idea, although this young lady is not favored in the house, and often her stepmother makes things difficult, she is very down, but in the end, she is noble, and her biological mother has also left her a lot of valuables, and there should be a lot of good things in her hands.

There were also several pieces of gold or jade in the jewelry box, which were worth no less than the bracelets.

Let's see how I can put all those good things in my pocket.

And when she has the money in the future, she can completely leave the Jing Mansion and get out of the control of the Lin family, and find a place where no one knows her to live a rich and prosperous life like a daughter and a noble lady.

As for the family...... Du Juan's face was as cold as ice, it was because her family was greedy for wealth that she followed Lin Ya to Jingfu.

With such a dangerous mission, it is possible to lose a small life at any time, and now Shui Lan will drown?

But her parents easily made her agree!

It's just patriarchal, seeing that she's a girl, thinking she's a money-loser, don't you take it to heart?

In the past, her monthly silver and rewards were confiscated by her parents.

Since her family doesn't have her in their eyes, she naturally doesn't have to care about how the masters of the Lin family will treat her family after leaving the Lin family.

It has to be said that the living environment has a very big impact on a person.

If parents are greedy for money and cold-blooded, then most of their children are not much better.

Du Juan just inherited the temperament of her parents at home.

Carefully tucked the mutton fat jade bracelet into her sleeve, Du Juan thanked Lin Ya.

Lin Ya calmly looked at Du Juan's smiling appearance and waved her hand slightly, "If the Lin family gives any tasks in the future, you can come and tell me in advance, and I can also give you any benefits."

Even, it can be doubled. ”

"The slave understands." Seeing Lin Ya so upright, using silver money to win herself over, Du Juan responded happily.

After a while, one of the two temporarily transferred maids walked into the house with a wooden basin filled with water, and the other walked into the house with a dress in both hands.

This side was just picked up, and a girl brought a meal.

At the same time, there were also servants who delivered the food to Mrs. Jing's small courtyard.

In the main hall of the small courtyard.

Although Mrs. Jing was only wearing a washed and somewhat whitish light blue plain dress at this time, she was sitting upright, with an elegant posture, a dusty temperament, and an indifferent complexion, and she was still not half a point of the grace and nobility of the helmsman of Jingfu, she waved her hand lightly, motioned to the maids to put the food on the table, and said: "A few old friends haven't come to visit me as an old woman for a long time. ”

By this time, it was already past lunchtime.

Mrs. Jing went back to the house first, but Jiang Long didn't know whether she was alive or dead at that time, and she was naturally not in the mood to eat before.

"Humph!" Hardy, dressed in his own costume, didn't give any face, and sat on the chair with his body turned sideways, turning his head away.

Na Xinzhu, who was only six years old, stood aside, holding Hardy's shoulders, tilting his head, and looking at Mrs. Jing with curiosity.

Qi Qide just learned the etiquette of Daqi, and casually hugged his fist at Mrs. Jing, just moved his body to face Jiang Long, and said in a loud voice: "You didn't learn martial arts before, and today you were attacked by someone in Jialan Temple and almost lost your life, right?"

If you want me to say, you will come to my small courtyard every day in the future, and after two years of training by me, although you have poor talent and can't practice haode skills like Qin Yu, I can also guarantee that you will grow fat and strong!

It's not like now, there is no half or two of flesh on your body, and a gust of wind can blow you into the sky. ”

Jiang Long touched his nose when he heard this, and laughed for a while.

This body is thin, but it is not like a kite blown into the sky by the wind.

"Don't talk nonsense."

At this time, a middle-aged woman with dark skin on her body opened her mouth, this is obviously not the people of Daqi, and she stumbled a little biting the text and spitting out the words, "When our whole clan was kidnapped and became slaves, it was the old marquis with a heart who bought us with a lot of money and gave us freedom, the sky is above, and the snake god will bless the old marquis to sleep and rest in the ground."

Now that the young master in the house is being targeted, it is very unsafe, and I will let Gunty Buck protect him. ”

As the black woman's voice landed, a tall, expressionless black young man stepped out from behind her and came to the middle of the main hall.

Then his knees weakened, he knelt down in front of Mrs. Jing, put his hands together, touched the ground with his forehead, and knelt respectfully on the ground.

Jiang Long had already looked over at this time, and saw that this black man was just like an African in his previous life.

Except for the whites of the eyes, and the teeth are very white, the rest of the place is as black as charcoal.

The black youth's clothes were similar to those of the people of the Great Qi Dynasty, the only difference was that his long hair was braided into strings and strings, and he had very distinctive braids.

But the middle-aged woman was very different, she had colorful feathers in her hair, like a peacock opening the screen, and wore a necklace made of beast teeth and animal claw bones around her neck, her clothes did not cover her entire body, and her swarthy arms and calves were exposed to the air.

After speaking, the black woman got up from the chair and said goodbye to Mrs. Jing, "Gunty Buck's archery skills are very good, and the scimitar in his hand is also very powerful!" ”

Back then, their family was a slave and was bought by the old marquis of Jing, and they were bullied by everyone after coming to the mansion.

And Mrs. Jing, the hostess in charge, used to look down on them very much.

"Yuna, why don't you eat together?" Old Madam Jing didn't say no, she remembered that the old marquis said that these black people were very strong, far stronger than the ordinary people of Daqi, and now Jiang Long really needs strong guards and protection.

However, Mrs. Jing has the pride of being a Daqi person, and she considers herself to be the superior state of the Heavenly Empire, so she does despise these black people a little.

"No need!" Yuna didn't say hello to Hardyzid, but left with a few people who came with her.

Jiang Long's gaze swept over the faces of Hardy and Zizid, and he keenly noticed that these two also looked down on the black Yuna.

Mrs. Jing stood up symbolically, and it was regarded as a farewell to Yuna.

Jiang Long immediately got up and walked quickly to the door of the main hall.

It wasn't until Yuna and the others disappeared at the door of the small courtyard that he turned around and returned to his seat.

By this time, Guntyback had risen and stood behind his seat.

The moment he sat down, Jiang Long saw a slight touch flash in the eyes of the expressionless Gunty Buck.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised in satisfaction.

Because of the color of their skin, these blacks should have been discriminated against in Jingfu, and he was very polite to send Yuna and the others out, which was a respect for their family, and in an environment full of cold eyes and ridicule, this respect would be magnified countless times, making Degunty Buck feel deeply grateful to him.

Jiang Long naturally did it intentionally, firstly, he had made a few black friends in his previous life, so he himself did not discriminate against black people;

Second, Gunty Buck will be his escort in the future, and he naturally wants to use some means to make him more loyal to himself and more dedicated to protecting himself, if he can do it at the cost of losing his life to protect himself, it would be even better.

After sitting down, Jiang Long turned his head and smiled at Gunty Buck and nodded.

Gunty Buck was even more excited, but the black people who were too much of a white eye on weekdays and were mostly hearty in nature also became introverted in this strange Great Qi Dynasty, he lowered his head, pursed his mouth tightly, and his hands were clenched into fists.

I vow in my heart that I must do my best to protect this friend who knows how to respect his people!

"Mulberry spider!"

Hardy also disagreed with Mrs. Jing, as for the reason inside, it was not just Mrs. Jing who despised him, he called out a young girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old standing behind him, and said: "This is my little granddaughter, I have to be good at controlling beasts and using poison, and let her protect Young Master Jianglong in the future." ”

"Old lady, little master."

The girl came out and stood in the middle of the main hall, looking timid under the gaze of everyone, bowing her head and whispering greetings in her mouth.

Old Madam Jing frowned slightly, she really couldn't see what this girl had to protect her grandson.

Don't have another idea, do you?

The thoughtful old lady Jing couldn't help but be suspicious when she saw that the girl was about the same age as Jiang Long.

"You look up." Old Madam Jing's face was slightly gloomy, and there was a hint of majesty in her voice.

Hardy didn't have so many fancy, he didn't know that Mrs. Jing was already thinking crookedly, seeing that Mrs. Jing's tone was not good, she was slightly angry in her heart, but in order to let the Mulberry Spider protect Jiang Long's side, so as not to let the old friend die, he forcibly endured his anger and turned his head away.

The mulberry spider pinched the corners of her clothes tightly, slowly raised her head, and a wheat-colored, cute and delicate face was reflected in the eyes of Mrs. Jing.

"Old lady, don't underestimate Sister Sang Spider."

At this time, Na Xinzhu suddenly blinked her eyes and opened her mouth, "She is very powerful, Grandpa Hardy is good at raising snakes, and Sister Mulberry Spider likes to raise poisonous spiders." ”

As Na Xinzhu's innocent voice landed, a small snake with a green body spat out a letter and poked its head out of Hardy's sleeve.

This green snake Hardy has always been with him, but he knew that Old Lady Jing didn't like the appearance of a snake wrapped around his arm, so he put the little snake into his sleeve before.

Sure enough, when she saw this green snake, Mrs. Jing snorted coldly in her nostrils.

Dealing with this animal, in the eyes of Mrs. Jing, represents the lack of civilization.

A barbarian is a barbarian!

Na Xinzhu is still young, so naturally she doesn't know what Mrs. Jing thinks in her heart, and she is still praising Sang Spider's ability, "The few poisonous spiders raised by Sister Sang Spider are not bad compared to Grandpa Hardy's little green, next time someone wants to bully the little young master, let Sister Sang Spider release poisonous spiders to bite them!" ”

When Mrs. Jing heard this, she became curious about the mulberry spider.

The reason why the old marquis befriended Hardy back then was because Hardy knew a lot about the method of controlling beasts and making poison.

How powerful the green snake wrapped around Hardy's arm was, Mrs. Jing had also heard of it.

In one bite, within a few breaths, the big scalper had to die of breath.

If the poisonous spider raised by this girl can really be as powerful as Xiao Lu, then even Hardy's ulterior motives are acceptable to Mrs. Jing.
