In the outer room of Hou Men, she took advantage of her beauty to commit murder

Chapter 12 The money has arrived, and I want to make money

By the time they were finished packing, it was already getting late and Mother Liu had already gone out.

As a personal maid, Lumei has to serve in the house.

Looking at Lu Mei beside him, Luo Siyun asked: "Lu Mei, I want to practice calligraphy. Do you have pens, ink, paper and inkstones?"

Anyway, she was too bored, she wanted to practice calligraphy, while the memory left in her body by the original owner was still there, to practice calligraphy, at least to write correctly.

The original owner is a talented woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea art, cooking, medical skills, etc.!
She didn't say she wanted to be a talented woman, but she couldn't lose her basic skills.

Lu Mei thought for a while and replied, "There is no paper and ink in the courtyard. There is in the main room, but it is for the young master's use!" This courtyard was where the young master used to live when he came to Ling'an County to relax, so some items, pen and ink were prepared. That's included.

"Does the girl want to use it?"

Luo Siyun shook his head, "No need, the young master's things are not ordinary, it's better not to mess with them, and ask Liu Ma to go to the bookstore tomorrow to buy some back!"

"Yes, I will tell Mother Liu later!"

"How much silver do we have now?"

Lu Mei tilted her head and thought seriously, "It seems that there are still ten taels of silver left!"

"Twelve taels, ten taels..." Luo Siyun raised his head, "What was the last time the young master left?"

"I came here on June [-]th, today is July [-]th, and it will be one month in two days!" She would get her monthly money soon.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Luo Siyun murmured, "It's been a month?" It should be the day when the sponsor sends the expenses soon, right?
This month's expenses are a bit high. She has already spent more than 120 taels of silver, and posted more than 20 taels of her own money at the bottom of the box.

No, you can't just wait for the money from the benefactor. 100 taels of silver may sound like a lot, but in fact it's only enough to spend. For a person like her who likes to enjoy, it's still a bit stretched.

The most important thing is to think of a job that makes money.

To increase revenue and reduce expenditure, we should not only think about reducing expenditure, but also increase revenue.

I gently scrubbed the tea cup in my hand, thinking about what I could do to make money.

Lu Mei, who was behind him, saw her holding the teacup and said nothing. She thought she was thinking about the young master, so she teased, "Does the girl miss the young master?"

"I think the young master must also miss the girl. The reason why he didn't come to see the girl must be because of official duties. After all, the girl is beautiful and kind-hearted. What man doesn't like her!"

She is a big girl, and sometimes she can't help but feel happy when she sees her.

Luo Siyun turned around and couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Mei's normal expression.

This silly girl doesn't really think that he is thinking about her young master, right?
Yes, she was indeed thinking about Young Master...'s pocket.

No money to spend, no money to spend...

On the 21st, it was noon.

As usual, Luo Siyun went for a walk in the courtyard after lunch to digest food, and then went to the study to practice calligraphy.

Yesterday, Mama Liu took some time to go to the bookstore to buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones and other stationery for her. It was a very common set of stationery. The ink was ordinary carbon ink, and the paper was the cheapest grade. It was yellowish and black. It may be stronger than the paper pasted on the window.

Even so, it would cost one tael of silver.

No brush washers, pen holders, etc. Lin Lin finally figured out that a complete set of necessary stationery also cost nine taels of silver.

The family belongings that had ten taels of silver shrunk in an instant, and there was only half a penny left, um, equivalent to Lumei's monthly silver.

Thinking of this, Luo Siyun, who became impoverished, wrote a word bitterly.

Because it is a relatively low-quality ink stick, even if you grind it carefully and carefully, the ink will still have uneven shades. If you point it with your finger, you can even feel the particles inside, which are carbon particles that cannot be ground.

The ink, which is as thin as water, is printed on the rough and even cracked yellow paper, like an unchained monkey, jumping around.

A word that was originally pretty was ruined beyond recognition by the ink that wandered around, making it look thicker and missing.

Looking at the jumbled words, for some reason, Luo Siyun seemed to see that it was mocking her.

Ah!
oh my god!

Just when Luo Siyun was hopeless, Lu Mei opened the bead curtain and walked in. He gave her a smooth salute before saying with a smile on his face, "Girl, Yuan Fu is asking to see you outside!"

"Yuanfu?" Luo Siyun was stunned for a moment, who is this?

Why is this name so familiar?

Lu Mei reminded, "Young Master has two capable subordinates, namely Yuan An and Yuan Fu. Yuan An usually follows the Young Master and is responsible for the Young Master's safety and outing matters, while Yuan Fu stays at the Duke's Mansion and is mainly responsible for the affairs of the Mansion. Miscellaneous matters and other matters!" Anyone from the Duke's Mansion would know this if they inquired carefully.

Hearing this, Luo Siyun immediately remembered, no wonder he was so familiar.

It turned out that the employer had mentioned his name before leaving.

He also said that in the future, someone would send money to her every month, and the person who gave the money would be either Yuan An or Yuan Fu, and told her to be careful.

"Is he alone?"

Thinking that she didn't believe it and came alone, Lumei nodded, "Yes, I didn't see anyone else, and he was the only one waiting for the girl outside!"

"Then let's go out!"

courtyard.

Yuan Fu stood in the yard, with Liu's mother standing in front of him. The two of them seemed to be reporting something.

Seeing Luo Siyun come out, Yuan Fu naturally stopped talking and saluted her, "My subordinate Yuan Fu has met Miss Luo!"

Luo Siyun stood still ten steps away, raised his hand in vain to signal him not to be too polite, and then asked expectantly, "Are you here?"

Seeing her expectant expression, Yuan Fu was stunned for a moment, thinking that she couldn't wait to know the young master's information, and quickly said, "Young master is busy with business, so you specially sent me here to give Miss Luo something new!"

As he said that, he took out a letter from his arms, took a look at it, and made sure it was OK. He handed it forward with both hands, "This is what the young master asked me to deliver!"

Luo Siyun looked at Lu Mei. Lu Mei received the look and immediately stepped forward to take it from his hand, and then handed it to her.

Touching the thick envelope, Luo Siyun raised his eyebrows.

It doesn’t look like I just put the banknotes in there!

Is it a letter?

But it was not the time to think too much, put the letter into the sleeve (actually in the space), and then bowed to him, "I have received it, thank you for me, sir, I wrote a letter, you can help me Pass it on to the son?"

Yuan Fu nodded, "Yes, Master has specifically told me that I can convey any letter or message Miss Luo has!"

After confirming that it was OK, Luo Siyun immediately took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Mei, who turned around and handed it to him.

Yuan Fu took the letter, put it into his arms without looking at it, and then said respectfully, "I have received it!"

Seeing how serious and upright he was at such a young age, Luo Siyun couldn't help but feel a little cute. He covered his mouth and chuckled, "Yeah!"

Seeing that the goal of this trip has been achieved, Yuan Fu did not delay, "Yuan Fu has official business, so I won't disturb Miss Luo's peace!"

Luo Siyun quickly winked at Lumei, and Lumei understood again, stepped forward and stuffed a pouch in his hand, and said at the same time, "Our girl invited Brother Yuanfu to drink tea!"

A purse was stuffed in his hand, and Yuan Fu, who was familiar with this scene, subconsciously squeezed it.

Well, probably not much.

He put it into his arms with confidence, clasped his fists towards Luo Siyun, "Yuanfu, please leave!"

Liu Ma quickly followed and sent him out.
