Chapter 286: Did You Steal It?

Lu Sanzhu and his wife huddled in the kitchen, sipping ginger soup and whispering excitedly while discussing something about seven taels of silver. The old lady couldn't be bothered with them, shaking her head and asking about Lan Hua instead. "Why didn't you come here in the morning when you came to the county town? What did you have for lunch?" Lan Hua replied in a low voice, "I came to sell ribbons. I've been saving up for a long time and came with a girl from the same village. I planned to come find you after selling the ribbons, but I didn't expect such an incident to happen. I had some self-made cakes for lunch." In fact, she didn't reveal a hidden thought in her heart. She intentionally dressed up in the same way Shu Yu did earlier when she came to the county town. She had practiced this attire for a long time at home. Several people complimented her appearance when she left. Although she was happy about it, she also felt a bit guilty. She was afraid that Shu Yu would see through her little scheme when she arrived, so she didn't dare to come find the old lady and them immediately. She thought it would be better to sell the ribbons first. "What about the girl from the same village?" Lan Hua replied, "We planned to sell our ribbons at Peach Blossom Forest in the afternoon, but we separated. She had better luck and sold all the ribbons to a group of girls quickly. She came to find me and said she was going back. I didn't sell many ribbons, and I didn't want to leave yet, so I told her I would come find you later and asked her to go back first." The old lady nodded and patted her hand. "Next time you go to an unfamiliar place, don't go alone. It doesn't matter if you can't sell the ribbons, safety is more important. When you go back later, you can go with Lao San and his wife. Your mother will definitely nag endlessly when she sees your swollen eyes." Lan Hua shrank her neck at the thought of how Li Shi might react. "It's fine, my father is there." "As long as you understand." This time, eldest son's authority was useless. First, second son's family moved to the county town and opened a shop. Now, third son and his wife also found work and would be coming over tomorrow. People who used to have a worse life than eldest family were now becoming city dwellers. Eldest son's wife must be going crazy with anger, right? The old lady shook her head silently and shouted into the kitchen, "Lao San, Lao San's wife, it's getting late. Hurry up and go back. Didn't you say you need to prepare your luggage when you go back? Don't delay." Lu Sanzhu happily ran out and said, "Mother, we'll leave now." "Yes, go quickly." Lu Sanzhu then grinned at Shu Yu, and the latter sighed. "I know, you can borrow the mule cart for a day." "Ah Yu is so considerate." He finished speaking and went to lead the mule cart. Just as he placed his hand on the reins, he suddenly seemed to remember something and immediately stopped. He hurriedly ran back, approaching Shu Yu and whispering, "Ah Yu, come here. I forgot to tell you something." The old lady grew impatient. "What are you lingering for?" "Mother, just a moment, wait." Lu Sanzhu pulled Shu Yu and ran back into the house. The people in the courtyard exchanged puzzled glances, and the old lady rolled her eyes. Shu Yu followed Lu Sanzhu into the house, and he closed the door behind them. "What are you doing?" Lu Sanzhu quickly approached her and fumbled in his sleeve, taking out a jade pendant. "This is for you. It belongs to those three young masters." Shu Yu was startled and accepted the jade pendant. She found it to have an exquisite touch, and upon closer inspection, the carving was of top quality. She looked at Lu Sanzhu in astonishment. "Did you... Did you steal it?" "How is that possible?!"

Chapter 285: A Huge Sum of Seven Taels of Silver

Chapter 285: A Huge Sum of Seven Taels of Silver

Shu Yu sat beside the old lady and took out the ten taels of silver notes. Lu Sanzhu's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, almost wanting to snatch the silver notes away. However, Shu Yu said, "This silver is the compensation those three young masters paid to Third Uncle. I'm afraid Third Uncle might misuse it, so I took it for safekeeping." Lu Sanzhu immediately shook his head and said, "I won't misuse it." Shu Yu chuckled and ignored him, continuing to speak to the old lady, "Grandmother, how about we entrust these silver notes to Third Aunt for safekeeping?" The old lady nodded and said, "It should be given to Liang Shi. Although Third Aunt is lazy and useless, she knows how to hold onto money. We don't need to worry about her using this money to support her family." In this regard, the old lady admired Liang Shi. If you say that the third son's family is poor, they still managed to raise their eldest son so plump and healthy. If you say they have money, they cry poverty every day and never change their torn clothes, as if they've never eaten before whenever they see food. Later, the old lady finally understood. Liang Shi couldn't take advantage of her as a mother-in-law, so she went to exploit others elsewhere. She would return to her family and complain to her siblings, crying poverty every time, and never come back empty-handed. Every now and then, she would leave her son at her family's house, claiming to be busy and asking her in-laws to take care of him for a couple of days. Just like today, the couple came to the county town, leaving Da Bao and Bao Ya at her family's house. Not only did her family have to take care of the children's food and daily needs, they might not even bring them back home at night. So Liang Shi was capable of saving money. If the silver was given to her, the old lady could trust her not to spend it recklessly. Shu Yu nodded and glanced at Lu Sanzhu, saying, "Third Uncle, what do you think?" Lu Sanzhu thought that he wouldn't be able to get the silver back, so naturally, he had no objections. "Sure, sure, let my wife handle it at home." "But," Shu Yu suddenly added, "you and Big Uncle have been separated for so many years, and according to the rules, you should be giving Grandmother her pension every year. Eldest Uncle has always sent it on time, but you..." Lu Sanzhu's scalp tingled. It was already good enough that he didn't take money from the old lady's side. He really hadn't given her any pension money. Shuyu smiled and said, "So, let's set aside two taels of silver as compensation for Grandmother's pension. Is that alright?" Lu Sanzhu let out a sigh of relief. It was just two taels of silver, no problem. "Of course, no problem. Not only these two taels, but also in the future, when I start earning a salary, I will give my mother the money on time every month." In front of Shu Yu, he always acted like a good person. Not only was the old lady surprised, even Da Ya and Lan Hua looked at Lu Sanzhu as if they didn't recognize him. Shu Yu nodded. "Also, the gratitude gifts we bought for soldier Hu and Tang Xiucai, the money should come from this as well." "That's reasonable." Finally, Shu Yu divided three taels of silver, leaving the remaining seven taels for Liang Shi, who had just walked out of the kitchen. Liang Shi hadn't heard their conversation earlier, so she was caught off guard by this huge sum of money that suddenly appeared in front of her. She almost dropped the ginger soup she was holding. She had thought that Shuyu had only managed to retrieve a small amount of silver and had taken it for herself. Who would have thought that Shuyu actually gave it to them to handle. Seven taels of silver! It had been so long since she had seen so much money. She was going to be rich. Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!

Chapter 284: Lucky Break

The attention of everyone was originally focused on Lu Sanzhu and his wife, but upon hearing Da Ya's voice, the old lady immediately turned her head and exclaimed, "When did Lan Hua arrive?" She pulled her over to sit down and noticed her swollen eyes, furrowing her brows slightly. "What happened? Who bullied you?" Lan Hua shook her head, choosing not to speak about it. However, as soon as Lu Sanzhu saw Lan Hua, he immediately remembered the news he wanted to share with everyone. He hurriedly spoke, "Mother, wife, I haven't told you yet. I'm planning to live in the county from now on. I found a job over at Peach Blossom Forest. I'll be working there." "What?" Even the old lady, who was concerned about Lan Hua, forgot to react due to this surprising news. Their lazy and detestable third son actually found someone who wanted him for work? The old lady immediately looked at Shu Yu and asked, "He wasn't tricked by someone, was he?" Shu Yu chuckled and shook her head. "No, that's not the case." Lu Sanzhu felt a bit displeased. "Mother, you underestimate me." "What's the matter then? What kind of job did you find? And how much is the monthly salary?" Liang Shi couldn't wait to ask. Lu Sanzhu proudly replied, "You know that there's a large lotus pond over at Peach Blossom Forest, right? Oh, you haven't been there, so you wouldn't know. Anyway, there's a huge pond, and many people go there for leisure. I'm quite good at swimming, and the owner of Peach Blossom Forest, Mr. Qi, noticed me. He asked me to work there. The job is easy and flexible, and I'll be paid one or two silver coins per month. Mr. Qi even said that once I become a manager, my salary will be increased." Da Hu couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh. Mr. Qi didn't mean that at all, but Third Uncle really knows how to spin his own tales. However, Liang Shi's eyes lit up, and the old lady was also surprised. Did their third son really have a stroke of luck? Both of them were curious and asked a few more questions, and Lu Sanzhu boasted about it proudly. Liang Shi listened with delight, while the old lady was puzzled and asked, "How did Mr. Qi know that you're good at swimming? Did you demonstrate it in front of him? Also, your clothes are different from when you left. Where did you get these clothes?" Lu Sanzhu choked for a moment. This matter couldn't be concealed. Shu Yu briefly explained the cause and effect. The old lady finally understood why Lan Hua's eyes were swollen. She held Lan Hua's hand, filled with anger. "These people have no conscience. They only know how to bully us common people. Ah Yu did well by kicking them. They deserve a good lesson." But then she became a little worried. "Will they cause trouble for us? They might come looking for trouble." Shuyu smiled. "Don't worry, Mother. They are all outsiders and won't dare to cause a big scene. Besides, if anything happens, we can go to the county yamen and ask for Hu Guancha's help. He's a good person." The old lady nodded. "Yes, you're right. Thanks to him this time. We should buy him a couple of bottles of wine as a token of gratitude. It's important to maintain these relationships." "Good. I'll take care of it. Besides the official, there's also Tang Xiucai and his classmates who came to help today. Third Uncle is still wearing their clothes, so we should thank them when we return." As they spoke, Shu Yu turned to Liang Shi and said, "Third Aunt, Third Uncle has been in the water for a long time. Let's make him some ginger soup first to warm him up and prevent him from catching a cold." Liang Shi realized and quickly got up to run to the kitchen.

Chapter 283: Can't Recognize His Wife - Lu Sanzhu

After a while, the courtyard gate was opened. Lu Sanzhu glanced at the woman in front of him, who looked somewhat familiar yet also unfamiliar. The crucial point was that she was smiling at him, with a seductive look as if trying to entice him. Lu Sanzhu was greatly shocked. "Who are you?" In the next moment, he saw the old lady and Da Ya sitting in the yard behind the woman. He immediately pushed the woman aside and hurried over. "Mother, mother, I have some great news to tell you." The old lady raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, then looked at the woman from earlier. She suddenly asked with a bit of schadenfreude, "What good news? Did the teacher take a liking to Da Hu? It's expected. I knew long ago that Da Hu is well-behaved, and the teacher would definitely like him. It's no surprise. You're making such a fuss over nothing, so disappointing." "Oh no, it's not about Da Hu. It's my own good news." The old lady appraised him. "For you, the only good news would be finding money. That's the only thing that counts." "Heh, mother, you're really amazing. It's almost like finding money." Lu Sanzhu was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked with his head poking out, "By the way, where is my wife? I have to wait for her to come so I can tell her. Where did she go?" The old lady looked behind him and raised her chin. "Isn't she right there?" Da Ya covered her mouth and laughed on the side. Lu Sanzhu turned his head, but he only saw the woman who had opened the door for him earlier. The woman stared at him angrily but spoke in a familiar voice, "Lu Sanzhu, are your eyes blind? Can't you even recognize your own wife?" Shu Yu and Da Hu entered the house at that moment and saw Lu Sanzhu being chased by Liang Shi. Lu Sanzhu was shocked. "You're the child's mother? How did you become like this?" "Is this appearance not pleasing to you?" Lu Sanzhu held his head and then looked at her carefully. After a long while, he smirked, "Pleasing, very pleasing." Liang Shi instantly became less angry, hummed a couple of times, and pretended to sit on a stool, striking a pose while playing with her hair. Only then did she say, "This is the result of Da Ya dressing me up. Isn't it more beautiful than when I got married?" Da Ya was currently learning makeup and styling. She had a talent for it and learned quickly. However, besides herself, there were very few people she could practice on. Previously, apart from the old lady, Ruan Shi, and San Ya, she didn't have time for anyone else, including Shuyu. Now, there were at least Aunt Xiang and Fu Xiangdi, but it was limited to them. Moreover, they were currently busy and couldn't just sit there doing nothing, solely for the purpose of practicing on her. So when she saw Liang Shi coming over today, she seized the opportunity and quickly gave her a makeover. Liang Shi was extremely satisfied and thought of surprising Lu Sanzhu when he returned. She even personally went to open the door. Who would have thought that this damn guy would push her aside? Pushed her aside!! He couldn't even recognize his own wife whom he had shared a bed with for so many years. If it's not because of blindness, then what is it? Lu Sanzhu hurriedly apologized and then circled around Liang Shi twice, completely forgetting the reason he had just entered the house. He gave Da Ya a thumbs up. "Impressive, with this skill, we won't worry about food and drink in the future." Not only Lu Sanzhu was amazed, but Lan Hua, who saw Liang Shi for the first time, was also shocked. Is this really Third Aunt? When she dresses up, she looks so beautiful. Lan Hua stared at Da Ya with burning eyes. Da Ya turned her head and was instantly surprised. "Lan Hua, you came to the county as well?"

Chapter 282: Aren't You Mad at Me?

After the Lu family and Lord Qi parted ways, they left the Peach Blossom Forest. Lan Hua had remained silent the entire time, only opening her mouth after they were left with their own family members. She spoke in a small voice, "Third Uncle, Ah Yu, I'm sorry. It's my fault... I've caused trouble for you..." Shu Yu could see that Lan Hua was also quite frightened. Ultimately, she had also suffered unjustly in this matter. Although Lan Hua was the same age as Shu Yu, after giving it some thought, Shu Yu took out two candies from her purse and handed them over, saying, "Do you want to eat?" Due to having two young children in the family, Shu Yu had gotten into the habit of carrying some candy with her, occasionally giving the little ones a sweet treat. Lan Hua hesitated, raising her slightly swollen eyes. She looked at Shu Yu, then lowered her head to look at the two candies, pursing her lips, and asked, "Don't you blame me?" "Why would I blame you?" "For bringing trouble and not being cautious." As Lan Hua spoke, her head drooped even lower. Shu Yu was surprised. "Why would you think that way?" "I... I dressed up today when I came to the county. I even learned how to style my hair in a bun, thinking that if I still looked the same as before, they probably wouldn't have paid any attention to me, and all these things wouldn't have happened afterward." Shu Yu's expression became strange. "So what you mean is, you styled your hair like me, and I was not cautious?" Lan Hua was taken aback and quickly raised her head, waving her hands. "No, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't say you were not cautious. I meant to say that your hairstyle looks really good, and I... I mean, I..." She became flustered and was about to cry again. Shu Yu reached out and patted her shoulder. "Alright, alright, I understand. Everyone has a desire to be beautiful. There's nothing wrong with dressing up. You're the victim here. Those young masters were at fault. They only targeted you because they thought you were an easy target. Even if you had dressed up like a goddess, it wouldn't have been a reason for them to stop you, understand?" Shu Yu had noticed Lan Hua's attire from the start, which was the same as when they had met during her betrothal ceremony. It was normal for girls of this age to care about their appearance. Shu Yu had known from their first meeting that Lan Hua had a bit of jealousy. But as long as the other person didn't have any ill intentions, Shu Yu wouldn't really mind. She also didn't think that Lan Hua had been targeted by those three because of her good looks. In the end, those three were only interested in Lan Hua because she was a backgroundless young girl. Otherwise, with so many beautiful girls in the Peach Blossom Forest, they wouldn't have bothered to stop them. Lan Hua's eyes were filled with watery glimmers, and she suddenly hugged Shu Yu, leaning on her shoulder and crying, "Ah Yu, Ah Yu, I was so scared earlier." Shu Yu, "..." Shu Yu turned to look at Lu Sanzhu, who had been overwhelmed with joy, smiling foolishly all this time. It was only when he felt Shu Yu's gaze that he hurriedly said, "That's right, Lan Hua, stop crying. It's not your fault. Look, because of your situation, I've found a job. If your parents find out about this, they'll probably be furious. Hahaha." Lan Hua's crying abruptly stopped. She let go of Shu Yu and turned her head, looking at Lu Sanzhu with some resentment. Shu Yu also wore a helpless expression. She didn't want to deal with these two idiots anymore and without saying another word, she grabbed Da Hu and walked away. The group returned to Liufang Lane on their own, with Lu Sanzhu being overly excited and knocking on the door first. "Mother, wife, open the door. We're back." The courtyard door was banged on, and soon the sound of grumbling voices came from inside.

Chapter 281: Third Uncle Finds a Job

Chapter 281: Third Uncle Finds a Job

Lu Sanzhu's disappointment was evident in his narrowed eyes, but he quickly became excited again. He could work here, in the county, and find a stable job. He wouldn't have to toil in the fields anymore, which had been his dream for many years. Moreover, it seemed like the job wasn't difficult. He wouldn't have to be as busy as a shop assistant, running around all day. He was more than willing, very willing. Just as Lu Sanzhu was about to nod his head, Shu Yu furrowed her brows and asked, "Why did Lord Qi find my uncle so conveniently? Shouldn't he inquire about our background?" Lord Qi laughed heartily, "I believe Miss Lu, your family background must be innocent, otherwise the county yamen officials wouldn't have appeared promptly, right?" In fact, Lord Qi had arrived even earlier than Shu Yu, intending to rescue Lu Sanzhu himself. Who would have thought that Shu Yu would act so swiftly, kicking everyone out without a second thought? At that time, Lord Qi thought this matter might not end well. But unexpectedly, within a short while, Hu Li came running over. You see, Lord Qi and the others hadn't been in Jiangyuan County for long and weren't close with anyone. They had only spent some time with the Ding family's lord last time, and their interactions with other gentry and wealthy families were still in the exploratory stage. Who would have thought that the official would help a seemingly backgroundless person from the Lu family? Lord Qi had clearly seen the exchange of eye signals between Hu Li and Shu Yu when the latter turned around. These two clearly knew each other. Shu Yu understood immediately upon hearing this and realized that Lord Qi was straightforward and frank. After thinking for a moment, she turned her head and asked Lu Sanzhu, "Are you willing to work here?" Lu Sanzhu nodded, speaking very seriously, "I'm willing." Looking at his sincere big eyes, he felt overjoyed in his heart. Shu Yu understood and said, "Alright, thanks to Lord Qi's appreciation. I don't know how the wages will be calculated?" "One month, one tael of silver." Lu Sanzhu's eyes brightened. One tael, ah. Lord Qi continued, "Of course, if the junior worker performs well, there may be some rewards from the young masters and young ladies. We will take half of that money, and the rest will go to the junior worker." Lu Sanzhu started calculating in his mind. There were plenty of young masters and young ladies here. Even if he only helped once a month and they rewarded him with a tael of silver, he would get half of it, plus his wages. He would have one and a half taels. In addition, if his wife made doll outfits for Shu Yu, they would earn more than one tael in a month. Oh my, that would add up to two or three taels. Prosperity, prosperity! Lu Sanzhu felt that coming to the county today was the right decision. Who could have imagined that within one day, both he and his wife would have job opportunities? Lu Sanzhu swallowed his saliva and then asked with ambition, "Um, Lord Qi, if I become a supervisor, how much will I earn per month?" Lord Qi chuckled, unable to tell from his appearance. Instead of answering directly, he just smiled and said, "You'll know when you become a supervisor." But Shu Yu reminded him, "You should address him as Lord Qi Dongjia now." "Oh, oh, oh, right, Dongjia. When should I start working?" "I'll give you a day to prepare, so come the day after tomorrow." Lu Sanzhu took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes, Dongjia." He could go back now and bring his clothes and bedding. If he was going to work in the county, he couldn't stay at home anymore. He didn't know if he could stay at his second brother's place. If not, he would have to rent a house. Sigh. (End of this chapter) In ancient China, workers often addressed their bosses or employers using specific titles or honorifics. Here are a few examples: 1. 老板 (lǎobǎn): This term is commonly used in modern Chinese and can also be applied to ancient times. It means "boss" or "employer." 2. 东家 (dōngjiā): This term is used to refer to the master or head of a household, particularly in rural or agricultural contexts. 3. 老爷 (lǎoyé): This term was used to address high-ranking officials, landlords, or wealthy individuals as a sign of respect. It can be translated as "lord" or "master." 4. 相公 (xiànggōng): This term was used to address government officials or someone in a position of authority. It can be translated as "sir" or "official." 5. 官人 (guānrén): This term was used to address officials or someone in a position of authority, similar to "sir" or "mister." These are just a few examples, and the specific term used would depend on the social and historical context. Different regions and time periods in ancient China may have had their own unique terms for addressing employers or bosses.

Chapter 280: Someone Wants to Hire Lu Sanzhu

Chapter 280: Someone Wants to Hire Lu Sanzhu Shu Yu instinctively stopped and saw a slightly overweight middle-aged man running up to her. Shu Yu and Lu Sanzhu exchanged glances, looking at the man in front of them with some confusion. "Who are you?" Shu Yu asked. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Qi, and I own this peach blossom forest and the lotus pond over there," the middle-aged man said with a smiling face. Shu Yu suddenly realized that although this peach blossom forest was open for anyone to enter, it did have an owner. Shu Yu nodded slightly. "So, you're Mr. Qi. What can we do for you?" "Well, about what happened just now, I saw it too. Especially this person..." He looked at Lu Sanzhu. Lu Sanzhu was taken aback and quickly introduced himself, "I'm Lu Sanzhu." He felt a bit anxious, hoping that he wasn't being blamed for falling into the lotus pond and damaging the flowers. Mr. Qi smiled and said, "Yes, Lu Sanzhu, your swimming skills are impressive. We happen to need someone with good water skills for some work. So, I'm thinking of hiring you to work for us." "Work?" Lu Sanzhu widened his eyes in disbelief. Mr. Qi nodded. "The main responsibility would be to watch over this lotus pond and lend a hand when something happens. For example, if someone falls into the water or if a guest drops something in, or any other tasks that may arise. Our people will help out, using nets or bamboo poles for closer incidents, and for farther ones, we have small boats. There won't be many opportunities to go into the water, but having good water skills is still necessary." According to the information Mr. Qi had received, Lu Sanzhu was not just good at swimming. He could hold his breath underwater for a long time as well. Earlier, when Shu Yu hadn't arrived yet, Lu Sanzhu had tried to swim underwater to the shore. He held his breath for a long time and swam a considerable distance. He almost succeeded, but someone who was spectating noticed him and shouted, ruining his attempt. However, Shu Yu narrowed her eyes and said, "Mr. Qi, you mentioned earlier that there are people responsible for the lotus pond and they would rescue anyone who falls in. But my third uncle didn't encounter anyone when he fell in..." "This is indeed embarrassing. There is someone specifically in charge of the lotus pond, but he took advantage of the good weather today and went out for a drink, nearly causing a problem." In fact, that person in charge is right here, and he even witnessed Lu Sanzhu being pushed into the pond. However, he is someone who seeks favor with others and doesn't dare to offend anyone. Seeing that Lu Sanzhu doesn't have any influential background and that he wouldn't die from the incident, he chose not to intervene. Anyway, once those young masters vent their anger, this matter will pass. Not only does he not take care of it himself, but he also prevents the other workers from taking action. Later, a worker who couldn't bear it anymore and happened to notice Mr. Qi's arrival in the peach blossom forest secretly ran over to inform him. "This kind of person has violated the rules here, damaging the reputation of my peach blossom forest. Naturally, I won't keep him anymore. As luck would have it, we are short of staff, so I wanted to ask if Lu Sanzhu would be interested in working here," Mr. Qi explained. Lu Sanzhu was extremely excited. "Me, me, Mr. Qi wants to hire me as the person in charge?" Mr. Qi replied awkwardly, "..." Shu Yu said, "..." She couldn't help but touch her forehead and said, "Don't daydream, okay? What Mr. Qi meant was that when the person in charge makes a mistake, there are other qualified senior workers who can take over the position. You would just take over the position of that senior worker, you understand?" Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!

Chapter 279: Give Me the Silver Ticket

Shu Yu and the others had already left quickly, while Da Hu was sent over by Master Wen and Madam Wen At this moment, the expressions of Master Wen and Madam Wen when they looked at Shu Yu became quite subtle. Shu Yu sighed inwardly. As a parent, she still wanted to shape herself as a gentle and kind person in front of the teacher. But things didn't go as planned, and something like this happened in front of the teacher. However, it was clear that Master Wen was not a narrow-minded person, as he had helped in the matter of overthrowing the former county magistrate. Sure enough, the couple smiled at Shu Yu and even said with satisfaction, "Miss Lu is not afraid of authority, which is commendable. However, those three individuals are not easy to deal with, and they are unlikely to give up easily." "Teacher, rest assured, I know what to do." "That's good." Master Wen and Madam Wen didn't say much more. They sent Da Hu over, confirmed the time for the apprenticeship ceremony with him, and then left. Their friends were still waiting at the pavilion, and it wouldn't be good to delay any longer. After Master Wen and Madam Wen left, Lu Sanzhu finally snapped out of it. He grinned foolishly while holding the silver ticket in his hand. With such a large sum of money, he was worried about being targeted by thieves. It wasn't appropriate to leave it anywhere, so he tightly gripped it in his hand. After walking a few steps, he became uneasy again and said to Shu Yu, "Ah Yu, am I dreaming? Did they really compensate me with ten taels of silver? It doesn't feel real." Shu Yu stopped and suddenly reached out her hand towards him. "Let me see the silver ticket first." Lu Sanzhu didn't doubt her, so he directly handed over the silver ticket. However, as soon as Shu Yu received it, she tucked the silver ticket into her own bosom. Lu Sanzhu: "? ? ?" Lu Sanzhu: "! ! !" What happened? Why did she take his silver ticket? Lu Sanzhu wanted to snatch it back, but when he saw that it was Shu Yu in front of him, he immediately retracted his hand and dared not make a move. His expression changed, turning into a pitiful look. "Um, Ah Yu, you did help me retrieve this silver ticket, so it would be reasonable for you to keep it, right? But, um... I've been in the water for so long, cough cough, and I don't feel very well. Can you give me some money for a medical consultation? I don't need much. How about five... two taels?" Shu Yu didn't have the intention to take away his ten taels of silver, but she couldn't just give it to him either. At the very least, she couldn't entrust the money to him. Judging from his appearance, it was clear that he would squander it in no time. She simply said, "I'll give you the silver ticket later. Let's discuss it when we get back." Lu Sanzhu felt dispirited and very sad. "Oh." He felt that Ah Yu might not give it to him. His intuition was always accurate. Two taels of silver was not enough, but one tael would do. After all, he had also put in some effort, right? After walking a while, Tang Wenqian and his classmate stopped. "Miss Lu, we have some matters to attend to at the academy, so we can't accompany you any further." Shu Yu understood. "Thank you for today's incident. I'll wash your classmate's clothes and give them back to you when I return in three days. Please help me pass on the message, and thank him as well." Tang Wenqian nodded, and after a moment of hesitation, he sighed and said, "Farewell." He and the scholar who had delivered the message turned around and left. Shu Yu held Da Hu's hand, and the group walked toward the exit of the Peach Blossom Forest. However, before they could leave the forest, they saw a person rushing over, smiling and greeting them. "Please wait, everyone."
