Chapter 43 Liang Youzhi's Request
Seeing Guyu in such a hurry, Lu Chenshuang asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Gu Yu took out the banknotes while panting and replied: "The Qianhe Pawnshop where we pawned the jewelry thought we were in urgent need of money because they saw that we had a lot of jewelry, so they wanted to raise the price and lower our price.
In a fit of anger, I changed to another pawnshop.
But who knew that the owner of Qianhe Pawnshop sent someone to follow me secretly.
He happened to meet Captain Liang on the street, and the man was scared away when he saw Captain Liang.
Captain Liang found out that I had silver notes on me and escorted me to the main gate."
After saying that, Guyu handed the three thousand taels of silver notes that he had pawned today to Lu Chenshuang.
After taking the banknote, Lu Chenshuang pulled Guyu to sit down, and then asked Xiaoman to pour her a glass of water to calm her down.
After Guyu calmed down a bit, Lu Chenshuang said: "Don't be afraid, I will give you some self-defense medicine later, which will definitely guarantee your personal safety.
Since someone has set their sights on the remaining jewelry, just keep it for now.
I will go out again when there is a suitable opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Guyu nodded quickly.
Lu Chenshuang admitted that she was careless in this matter.
Guyu is a girl who pawns jewelry every few days, and she pawns so much jewelry at a time, which is bound to attract the attention of some people.
Fortunately, nothing happened to Guyu, otherwise it would be too late for her to regret.
Lu Chenshuang immediately took out two hundred taels from the three thousand taels of silver and handed them to Xiaoman and Guyu respectively.
The two looked at Lu Chenshuang in astonishment.
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said: "Take it, you two have worked hard during this period.
Xiaoman has been following me around in the pharmacy recently, while Guyu has been running outside every day and was even frightened today.
This banknote is a reward for the two of you during this period of time."
Xiaoman and Guyu quickly declined after hearing this: "Miss, we can't accept it. We have already picked out a piece of jewelry each, which is worth at least a hundred taels.
Besides, the food and things we usually eat and use are all from the girls, so we can’t spend the money.”
To be honest, ever since Lu Chenshuang stopped trying to curry favor with the lady, she has been treating the two of them better and better.
They were never treated unfairly in terms of clothes, jewelry, food or drink.
Haiyun even joked with them privately that they were the concubines of Marquis Jingyang's mansion.
Seeing that the two were unwilling to accept it, Lu Chenshuang forced the banknotes into their hands and said, "You don't need it now, so save it as a dowry.
Who would think money is hot?
Girls, I've told you before, as long as you follow me, I'll let you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
The two were so moved upon hearing this that they quickly thanked Lu Chenshuang after receiving the banknotes.
Seeing this, Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Is that right?"
Although she has never managed servants, she has managed subordinates.
In order to keep them absolutely loyal, we need not only spiritual food but also real bread.
Lu Chenshuang didn't think that she could completely control the servants as long as she had the indenture contract.
Take the Jingyang Marquis’ Mansion for example, there are quite a few servants who are in Cao’s camp but their hearts are with Han.
Moreover, the Dalin Kingdom relatively attaches great importance to human rights.
Even if a servant has signed a death contract, the master cannot execute him at will.
Of course, slaves who have committed serious mistakes are excluded, but they need to report to the authorities afterwards and submit evidence.
However, apart from arbitrary execution, there are still rights, such as beating with a stick and selling.
Although Dalin State has such regulations, not everyone is a good citizen like Lu Chenshuang who abides by the law. There are also many masters who execute servants in private.
Afterwards, just find a reason to report it to the authorities and that's it.
What Lu Chenshuang wanted was a confidant who would never betray her under any circumstances.
Seeing that the two girls were moved, Lu Chenshuang pulled them to sit down and eat together.
Gu Yu had just sat down and taken a few bites of rice when she suddenly remembered something. She slapped her head and said, "Oh, I was so busy talking about the pawnshop that I forgot to tell Captain Liang about this.
Miss, Captain Liang said he wants your help with something."
Lu Chenshuang, who was busy eating, looked up and asked in surprise: "Who? Liang Youzhi?"
Guyu nodded quickly and replied: "Yes."
Lu Chenshuang asked in confusion: "What does he need my help with?"
Guyu replied: "Captain Liang said his mother has been ill and has not gotten better despite seeing doctors and taking medicine.
He learned from Doctor Yang that you saved Cao Dazhuang's wife and his son, so he thought about asking you if you could treat his mother.
However, Captain Liang said that his mother's disease is contagious, so before seeing you, he wants to see you first and tell you in detail about his mother's condition.
If you disagree, he will never force you."
Lu Chenshuang nodded when she heard this. She was quite impressed with Liang Youzhi's character.
At least you know the minimum respect between people.
Lu Chenshuang nodded and said, "Okay, then go find Liang Youzhi tomorrow and tell him to wait for me at Baicaotang tomorrow afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Guyu nodded in agreement.
After dinner, Lu Chenshuang asked Xiaoman and Guyu to go to bed, while she went to the medical laboratory to read for a while before going to bed.
Every night Lu Chenshuang would stay in the medical laboratory for a while, so that she would feel particularly at ease.
Of course, she never spends the night in the laboratory in order to adapt to the current living environment.
Lu Chenshuang is not a born strong person, she can only rely on her willpower to make herself stronger.
The next morning, Guyu went out to look for Liang Youzhi.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he ran into Liang Youzhi who was wandering outside the gate of Jingyanghou.
Guyu looked at Liang Youzhi, who was dressed in casual clothes, and quickly walked up to him and asked, "Captain Liang, why are you here so early in the morning? I was just about to go out to look for you."
Liang Youzhi smiled and said, "I was just afraid that you wouldn't be able to find me, so I thought of trying my luck here early in the morning.
How about it, is Madam Jingyang willing to see me?"
After saying this, Liang Youzhi was still a little nervous.
Although Lu Chenshuang was not of high birth, she was the daughter of an official after all, and the Jingyang Marquis's Mansion was a family of dukes and marquises, so it was not someone that a small constable like him could just meet whenever he wanted.
Guyu noticed Liang Youzhi's nervousness and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our girl asked you to wait for him at Baicaotang this afternoon.
Captain Liang should be free, right?"
Liang Youzhi nodded and said, "I am free, I am free! I specially asked for leave from the government office today.
Then I will wait for Madam Jingyang Hou at Baicaotang this afternoon.
In addition, Miss Guyu, please take me to express my gratitude to her."
Guyu nodded when he heard this, and said a few words to Liang Youzhi before turning around and returning to Jingyang Marquis Mansion.
However, their conversation was heard by Hongyu who went out to buy groceries early in the morning.
Hongyu listened to Guyu and Liang Youzhi talking, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.
It was all Lu Chenshuang’s fault for driving her back to Lishuang Garden without any reason.
Originally, the lady was going to sell her off, but fortunately her aunt begged her to let her stay.
However, she was beaten with forty sticks and sent to the kitchen to do odd jobs.
The work in the kitchen is dirty and tiring. Hongyu is used to a life of luxury in Lishuangyuan, so there is no way she can do this kind of work.
Later, it was her aunt who interceded and found her an easy job, responsible for purchasing for the kitchen.
This was supposed to be an easy and lucrative job.
But the lady’s housekeeper would like to make every penny count, and sometimes they even have to pay out of their own pocket, so there is no profit to be made.
Not only that, she had to get up before dawn every day to buy groceries, which was very hard work.
Although both were maids, Guyu and Xiaoman lived a very comfortable life.
She could have had such a good life. Thinking of this, Hongyu almost bit her teeth to pieces with hatred.
Then he walked towards the mansion with a bit of ruthlessness.
