Chapter Seventy-Two: One More Master
As Yu Qing spoke, he rehearsed the first six styles of the Jade Girl Flying Sword Technique. Originally, I thought that this set of swordsmanship had been practiced, but I didn't expect that the seventh form of the Jade Girl's swordsmanship also appeared in Yuqing's divine consciousness.
The little man in the picture in the consciousness is no longer standing on the ground with his feet, but suspended on the tips of the grass dancing in the wind on the turquoise grass. As the 7th form unfolds, the little figure in the picture rises higher and higher from the ground. With the movement of the sword in his hand, the person is already flying on the ground.
Yuqing followed the little man in his mind, practicing one move at a time. The body felt lighter and lighter, and the feet had left the ground. Ye Jing, who only watched, was so surprised that they didn't dare to speak. The sword moves were all done, and Yuqing fell from a few feet above the ground. I wasn't prepared for this fall and almost fell.
"Sister (eldest lady), are you hurt?"
"Jing'er, my sister didn't hurt it, but her foot and neck were broken." Yuqing said hurriedly, trying to move his sore foot and neck.
"Miss, your swordsmanship still has a posterior, and your subordinates' opinions on this set of swordsmanship still need to be coordinated by internal force. Now the eldest lady's light skills rely on swordsmanship, if you integrate the internal force, this set of swordsmanship will be greatly powerful, and you will be able to fly and land freely. I don't know how many forms your martial arts master has practiced, did she give you a way to cultivate internal strength? Vice General Shao said.
"Uncle Shao, this set of swordsmanship was taught by me, and the sword score was originally incomplete. My master has not taught me the method of cultivating internal force, and the first few styles of this set of sword techniques have been used, Yuqing only feels that his body is getting lighter and lighter, and it is the first time that he has really left the ground. ”
"Miss, my subordinates can only say that you have excellent understanding. Maybe it's because your martial arts master doesn't know how to cultivate internal strength. If the eldest lady is willing to learn, her subordinates are willing to teach her. ”
"Uncle Shao, Yuqing is willing to learn. A few days ago, I went to the palace, and I felt more and more that I was still too weak. Thank you, Uncle Shao, for being willing to teach me how to cultivate internal strength. Yuqing said excitedly.
"The eldest lady doesn't need to say thank you, my internal skills are also learned from the God of War Prince. When there was no war to fight on the border, in addition to practicing tactics every day, the god of war taught us kung fu in private. Later, we returned to the imperial city and joined another master, and our efforts did not fail. ”
"Uncle Shao, it turns out that you have been on the battlefield. I have also heard about the deeds of the god of war, but it is a pity that Zhongliang was killed by a traitor and his life and death are unknown. ”
"Young Master Jing, where did you hear about the deeds of the God of War Prince."
"Uncle Shao, don't be nervous, it was said by the person who came to buy something in the shop. Ye Jing is not a person who does not know the depths, Uncle Shao was a beggar before he came to my house. Even when the knife is pressed on the neck, Ye Jing will say the same. ”
"Jing'er, sister believes in you, and Uncle Shao also believes in you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have talked about the God of War in front of you. ”
"Young Master Jing, your sister healed your uncle's leg and gave us a worry-free life of food and clothing. Uncle's past experiences are not a secret in the Imperial City, and Uncle is only worried that those experiences will affect you. ”
"Uncle Shao, the ghost boss, which one of them doesn't have his own secrets? There are also boys and children who were bought, and they were all orphans who survived the palace change. Yuqing dares to buy them back from Renyazi, and he also dares to bring you back from the ruined temple. Everything is done on the surface, and I don't worry about what the emperor suspects. ”
"The eldest lady has the courage, and from today onwards, her subordinates will teach you to cultivate internal strength."
"Thank you, Uncle Shao."
"Young Master Jing, I am a slave of your family, and the needs of the master are the duties of the villain."
Several people tacitly said this, and began to practice internal skills with Vice General Shao.
In the afternoon, Yuqing followed Master Lang Zhong to refine two furnaces of pills. The master and apprentice chatted while practicing medicine.
"Farmer's apprentice, this furnace is refined according to the recipe on the Poison Sutra. If you want to test the detoxification effect of the pills, you still have to catch some small mice to test the medicine. But how to poison mice is a problem. ”
"Master, it's not easy, let's just refine poison in this furnace."
"That's right, the master didn't think that there was an antidote after the poison, and the antidote to the poison was originally a family."
"Master, except for the recipes on the Poison Sutra that were refined today, the rest of the herbs in our hands are not complete. After the New Year, our own medicinal herb field should be planted, and the ghost boss will open up a wasteland in the back mountain. ”
"Farmer's apprentice, the master is already trying to find a way to buy seeds. When it comes to cultivating the land of all the families in the cottage, women alone cannot cultivate it. At that time, each yard will be looking for a short-term job, and you six yards will also be looking for people, so take this opportunity for us to go to the countryside to find your aunt. Although the eldest master was a poor student, he should not be too far away from the imperial city. After the countryside of the imperial city, you will arrive at Linjia Town, and the master estimates that your aunt should have returned there. “
"Master, it makes sense for you to analyze it like this, my aunt's surname happens to be Lin. Now that my aunt is gone, my aunt's identity has become the eldest princess of the previous dynasty, and according to the new emperor's ruthlessness, my aunt's situation is now very dangerous. Even my aunt's clan may not be willing to accept my aunt and mother. Yuqing hated that she couldn't go to find her aunt now and protect the peace of her aunt's family. ”
"Farmer apprentice, now the new emperor will not harm them, otherwise they will not be allowed to leave the imperial city. Stabilize your mind, your life experience is the most feared thing for the new emperor. Don't lose a big one because of a small one, your aunt's loser son is a hidden danger. I heard that the eldest concubine was implicated by his own son and was caught and executed by the emperor. In the past few years since your aunt's death, thanks to that adopted son, otherwise your aunt's life would have been even more difficult. ”
"Yes, that's really a loser's child, I just don't know if it's born bad or nurture." Yuqing remembered what happened that morning and sighed.
"Master, how can anyone be born bad, a child is born on a blank piece of paper, all of which are dyed by the acquired environment." The soul pen was corrected in Yuqing's divine sense.
"Yuyu, your master and I have drilled the horns. Born in a princess's family with a rich halo, worry-free food and clothing, and lack of restraint, it is not surprising that he has become a loser's child, which is really a headache for my aunt. Your master, I must have broken his crooked melon and cracked jujube. ”
"Master, Yuyu believes in you, as long as the master wants to do something, Yuyu raises her hands and feet in agreement and support. Oops, forget about the master you turned him mute that morning. ”
"Get out! You don't know that after the hour comes, he'll be fine. I hope he can have a longer memory, and don't let his aunt grow old and be helpless. When Yuqing was talking to the soul pen here, in a simple courtyard in Linjia Town, dozens of miles away, several people were sneezing.
"Mother, I went back in vain, but I didn't find anything, otherwise I could have bought more charcoal, it's too cold in this house. What are you still practicing, don't read the book, I'll go back and cover the quilt to keep it warmer. The loser kid didn't speak very neatly, and said while rubbing his hands.
"Just sit here and read a book, learn how your brother can't bear any hardship, today is different from the past, we are ordinary people in the town." Princess Celestia was busy with the needlework in her hands.
"Mother, we're not really poor enough to eat, why don't we find a warm place to live. It's not about self-inflicted hardship, self-abusing yourself. “
"Child, that's how ordinary people live, and when we bought this yard, we don't have a lot of money."
"When the palace changes, we shouldn't give so much money to those who die to take care of the aftermath, they are slaves of the next people, and they should die for us."
"Shut up! It's really getting more and more ignorant, without the maintenance of those subordinate slaves, the three of us would have been thrown into a mass grave a long time ago. “
"Brother, can't you see that the people who broke into the princess's mansion twice were all here with targets. It was the mother who sprinkled the money that we escaped the danger and survived, the difficulty is only temporary, and when the court forgets us, it may be difficult to live back to the old days, but we can still work hard to do it. “
"What kind of effort, I was expected to go back to farming, and I couldn't afford to lose that man."
"Bastard, your father is the champion who walked out of the crop field, how can he be ashamed to rely on his own hard work to support himself. If it wasn't for the fact that I met a master and saved me that morning, our mother's life would have been left in the imperial city. In the future, there will be no princess of the previous dynasty, and you should not put on a shelf for the children of rich families. If you want to live, be an ordinary person, don't go out and cause trouble. Our past status is a talisman, and if we forget all of them, others will forget us. ”
"Mother, when we plough in the spring, we will go back and take over the land left by my father."
"That's a must, your father is gone, and his descendants are still there. Yu Kun, Yu Ning, my mother will only have your two sons in the future. ”
"What does my mother say?" The loser child looked at Yu Ning with unkind eyes, sat back and looked at the books in front of him, and was aggrieved in his heart, his father and mother were better to Yu Ning than to themselves.
Yuqing has a full and busy life here every day, and soon it will be the day when the shopkeeper will come back. This time, there was no gathering together, but the three shopkeepers with foreign surnames arrived first, and unexpectedly everyone brought New Year's gifts. The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop brought hairpins to the three young ladies in charge, although they were not very valuable, but they were also a piece of heart.
"Miss in charge, this is not something sold in the shop, it is a gadget that I bought when I was old and decrepit, and I invite a few young ladies to laugh." The shopkeeper surnamed Qian said with a smile.
"Uncle Shopkeeper, you have a heart." Zhen'er also said with a smile.
"Miss in charge, this is a few purses embroidered by my mother-in-law herself, which have been added with spices, and they are refreshing at the beginning of spring. Ladies don't dislike my mother-in-law's rough craftsmanship. ”‘
"Shopkeeper Zhou, Uncle's needlework is really good, thank you." Ye Xuan also accepted three purses.
"Miss in charge, these snacks are a little bit of my heart, they are all fried, and it's okay to leave them for a while. If you like the small ones, the lady in charge will have the opportunity to make some for you and send them over. ”
"Shopkeeper Ye, Shopkeeper Zhou, Shopkeeper Zhao, your hearts have been received, thank you. A few years ago, he said that he wanted you to bring the bookkeeper with him, why did you come alone? Yuqing looked at the three people with the surname of the shopkeeper and asked.
"Miss Zhuang, the rule of the shop in the villa is to open the door after fifteen to do business, and the bookkeeper said that at this time, he came to learn the bookkeeping method to pay extra wages."
"It makes sense, you go back and tell the shopkeeper that the rules were set by the old owner, and now that the owner has changed, the rules will also be changed. Tomorrow I can come to learn a new method of bookkeeping, and I will continue to stay after the shop opens, and if I can't come, I won't use it in the future. Yuqing said solemnly.
"Okay, Miss Zhuang, a few of us came early to admit our mistakes to the main team, the business in the second half of last year was indeed not as good as the first half of the year, we had selfish intentions when we paid the account, and we lost most of the silver, and today we will send the silver back to the villa. I also ask the three ladies in charge of the team to forgive us for our greed this time, and we will do our best to help the villa take care of the shop in the future. The three shopkeepers with foreign surnames bowed their heads in fear and admitted their mistakes.
The grain shop returned twice as much silver as it had been inventoried; The silver in the jewelry store was also doubled, and the grocery store had more than 100 taels of silver. This is basically the same as the accounts that Ye Xuan and Zhen'er have checked in the past few days, and these shops are also the least greedy for ink. Several young ladies have already discussed that if they are willing to hand over the greedy silver, the shop will be left to them to take care of. After all, almost all of them are women, and it is even more difficult to control those who go out to find the shopkeeper. Now it was better than the three of them expected, Ye Xuan and Zhen'er turned their eyes to Yuqing.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, Shopkeeper Zhao, Shopkeeper Qian, the previous accounts have been counted, and the previous things have also been turned over. In the future, I hope you will take care of the shop of Ye's Villa, and change the account to three months a year. The salary of five taels of silver per month remains the same, but you will be given a certain commission according to the performance of the shop. This is a pure profit rather than a running account, and after the bookkeeping method has been changed, it is much more convenient to set up accounts. You are all elders, it is not easy to have a stable errand, the shop of the mountain villa depends on your efforts to make money, and the mountain villa will not treat people who work hard. This is the other half of your salary last year, and tomorrow you will bring the account office, and if they will not come, you will each recommend an account office. The salary is three taels of silver per month, and there is also a commission at the end of the year. Yuqing looked at the three people and said.
"Half the salary? I thought I wouldn't give it to us. The money shopkeeper said excitedly.
"This is the reward you deserve, and merit is merit and demerit." Ye Xuan said.
"Remember this lesson, we young ladies are not unreasonable people. We will not lose you wholeheartedly for the sake of the villa, and we will not tolerate those who want to eat and be moths. Today you will go back first, and tomorrow you will start to learn a new method of bookkeeping, and you will have dinner at the mountain villa at noon. I have to come to study to catch up with the Chinese New Year, and the time is really urgent, and even if I work overtime, I am paid. Zhen'er also laughed, this was also a decision that Yuqing had agreed with them in advance. As Yuqing said, this is buying people's hearts in disguise, and if the shopkeeper who stays still knows something, he will be able to do a better job next.
Of course, they can stay and continue to do it, but the premise is to admit their mistakes and return the money they have been greedy for. After the three shopkeepers with foreign surnames left, Ye Xuan and Zhen'er all looked at Yuqing: "Owner, how many of those shopkeepers who went out of the villa would admit their mistakes and repay the money?" “
"Yes, there are nine shopkeepers, what if they don't admit their mistakes and pay back? Zhen'er and Ye Xuan, you asked one by one.
"The only one who can carry it to the end is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and he is also the largest greedy for ink. A few other people can admit their mistakes and repay the money, but they must all have luck in their hearts, and they are sure that a few of us young ladies don't understand the accounts and want to fool the past. ”
"Yuqing Zhuang Master, if this is similar to what we expected, the restaurant will definitely not use him again. It's just that he is greedy for a few hundred taels of silver, and he feels painful when he thinks about it. He should be sent to the yamen to go to prison, it's really cheap to let him go. Ye Xuan said angrily.
"Master, such a person should be punished by God, and this matter will be handed over to Yuyu to do well." The soul pen was recommended by Mao in Yuqing's consciousness.
"Yuyu, this is a must, punishing evil and promoting good is still a matter of doing it yourself, and it is not a trip to count on the yamen to be silver." Yuqing has already thought of a way, and he will not let the greedy have another chance to be greedy in this life.
It was almost noon when four more shopkeepers came, and as soon as they entered the door, they voluntarily admitted that they had been blinded by lard, and had made false accounts and embezzled the money of the villa. also found reasons for themselves to talk about their suffering, Yuqing, Ye Xuan and Zhen'er listened to them calmly. It wasn't until they returned some of the silver that Yuqing looked at the four shopkeepers and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have the courage to admit your mistakes and return some of the silver, which is very good, which shows that several seniors are still a bit responsible. You have heard that only a part of the silver has been returned, and your accounts have been counted by the bookkeeper and cashier of the villa. If the false account is still much worse, if it is a real account, how much should it be? Yuqing looked at a few shopkeepers with sharp eyes, and the four people who listened to it bowed their heads and were speechless for a while, and a few young ladies did not urge them to watch. Finally, there was a shopkeeper who couldn't help it.
"Miss Zhuang, do you know the account? What are the bookkeepers and cashiers? ”
