Chapter 24
The person who received Shu Yun was a middle-aged man who looked like an elegant scholar. He was about forty years old. He had a small black mole at the corner of his mouth and his hair was tied up in a bun. He looked very refreshing.
Shu Yun greeted the so-called master of the second martial arts gym in front of him politely, then explained the purpose of his visit and began to talk about the price and time of employment.
"Girl, according to your request, if we hire three top martial artists to look after the house and nursery in our martial arts gym for a month, it will cost sixty taels of silver. You will also be responsible for the food and accommodation." The second master of the martial arts gym said.
Wen Wen said to Shu Yun gently, "If you are determined to hire me, girl, you must hand over all the money to our martial arts school within three days."
Sixty taels of silver, that’s three silver ingots!
Shu Yun thought about it carefully, then gritted his teeth and said to the second master of the martial arts school: "Okay, master, please make arrangements for me. Can I start hiring today?"
"Okay!" The second master of the martial arts school nodded without saying a word. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to call three big men, and then said to Shu Yun: "The girl is very lucky.
The three of them are the strongest warriors in our martial arts hall. It just so happens that they don’t have any tasks in hand right now. You can take a look, girl. If you feel satisfied, the three of them can go with you today! Within three days, girl will come.
Just hand over all the money!"
Shu Yun nodded and looked at the three people. After seeing that they all looked like honest and kind people, he said readily: "Then it's settled! I brought twenty taels of silver to calculate the deposit.
I gave it first."
The second master of the martial arts hall was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily. He took the money given by Shu Yun and checked it before briefly explaining the matter to the three martial artists, and then arranged for them to follow.
Shu Yun left the martial arts hall and headed back towards Miyi Lane.
Shu Yun had room left in the courtyard he rented, so he naturally didn't worry about housing the three of them. The only thing he needed to worry about now was food.
Shu Yun didn't think that her cooking skills that could barely satisfy her had to take care of the meals for four people, so Shu Yun, who had a lot of debts anyway, went to find Aunt Chen again and asked her to find a cook for herself.
Mom, prepare three meals a day.
After running around for trivial matters like this, when it got dark, Shu Yun still didn't find anyone looking for trouble. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. After ordering the three warriors to wake up at night, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
rest.
After dusk, the master of the Qi family also got on a sedan chair and made a trip to the county magistrate's mansion for Shu Yun, returning home at midnight.
Before dawn the next day, the faint crow of cocks began to sound one after another.
Before Shu Yun got up, he heard noisy shouts in the yard.
"What happened?" Shu Yun was startled. He put on his clothes in a panic, opened the door, and asked in the direction of the oil lamp being carried in the yard.
"It's not the sound coming from our Yiyi Lane. Chen Wu has already gone out to look." The person holding the lamp said to Shu Yun comfortingly, "Miss Shu, please go back and rest. We will call you if anything happens."
The name of the man who spoke was Qin Li. He was the oldest among the three and the most calm in his work. There was another man named Ji Yu who was said to be very good with a dagger. The man who went out to find out the news was named Chen Wu, who was very good at his legs.
Yes, the most agile figure.
Shu Yun was awakened by the noise at this moment. He still had no feeling of being able to sleep. He could only shake his head towards Qin Li. He stood under the eaves and stared blankly with the oil lamp in his hand, his thoughts wandering to nowhere.
Where has it gone?
The noisy sound gradually faded away, and after a long time it disappeared into the hazy night.
After Chen Wu entered the door, Shu Yun came back to his senses and quickly asked: "What happened outside?"
"It was a crazy woman who ran out, crying loudly and running around. People in her family were afraid that something might happen, so they asked many people to come out to look for her. It was those people who ran through Miyi Lane and made a noise just now.
"Chen Wu explained the matter calmly, then looked at Shu Yun and said: "Miss Shu, it's nothing important. You should go back to the house and rest. It's still a while before dawn!"
Shu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Wu and others who were also looking a little tired. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Then I will go back to the house. Let the three uncles rest early."
Chen Wu and the other three nodded, and waited until Shu Yun entered the house and closed the door before returning to their house with the oil lamp.
What happened at night spread quickly. When Shu Yun was selling vegetables with the hired cook, he heard many people on the market street talking about this crazy woman.
"The little daughter-in-law of the Wu family must have encountered something dirty. Otherwise, how could she suddenly go crazy and run around in the middle of the night?"
"If you ask me, it must be the reason why the child was not born well!"
"This is crazy. What does it have to do with children?"
"You don't know? This little daughter-in-law of the Wu family used to be very beautiful. She was virtuous and hard-working, and she belongs to her husband's family. Who wouldn't praise her?" A woman with half-white hair pursed her lips and gestured in one direction.
Eyes, then said: "Wu Shan can marry such a daughter-in-law, who is not envious? He dotes on her to the heavens. He holds her in his hands all day long for fear of falling, and holds her in his mouth for fear of melting. He lives a small life like this.
Happy! Look, it’s only been more than a year since we got married, and our little daughter-in-law is pregnant again. Aren’t the people in the Wu family just laughing at everyone in the past few days? "
"But... after this child is born, the Wu family will never have a good life."
"What's going on? Tell us quickly?" The woman with something to do asked immediately. Seeing the half-white-haired woman rolling her eyes with a proud look, the women quickly complimented her.
Then he looked at her and opened her mouth.
"The Wu family is really lucky! For a man who has married such a good wife and is so good at it, he doesn't have to worry about his future career!" The half-white-haired woman said to everyone with a gloating sneer at the corner of her mouth:
"However, this person's luck has been determined by God, and no one can share it more. So, the little daughter-in-law of the Wu family started to have some problems three days after giving birth. I heard that this Wu family's
The younger daughter-in-law ignored her biological son. Sometimes she would suddenly smile bitterly and seem to be talking to people normally, but suddenly she would burst into tears and cry non-stop. She would ask her what was wrong.
He just shakes his head and sometimes goes crazy!"
"It's so serious? It means it was touched by something unclean, right? Why is it the child's fault?"
"You don't know this, right? The old woman of the Wu family saw something was wrong with her daughter-in-law, so she went to ask the Taoist priest to take a look! The Taoist priest said that it was because the child had an air of injustice in her body.
