Monster, come to my bowl

Chapter 22 Arrangements for Funerals

Xue Yi didn't take Cai Ji's small request seriously at all.

The eldest lady opened the door and called Lanlan, asking her to go to the accounting office to withdraw three hundred taels of silver. Then she left the Plum Garden without looking back and went back to prepare for exploring the Centipede Cave tomorrow.

After a while.

A pile of shiny silver bars was piled in front of Cai Ji.

The two largest silver bars weighed fifty taels each.

Palm-length, two fingers wide and thick.

Cai Ji had been in this world for eight years, and this was the first time he had seen such a large silver bar.

Secondly, there are five twenty-tael silver bars.

The volume is more than half smaller than that of fifty taels.

But it looks equally exciting.

The remaining one hundred taels.

There were ten taels, five taels, and two taels, and even a handful of change.

The accountant was very sensible. After knowing that the money was given to Manager Cai by the eldest daughter, he took the initiative to match the amounts of money appropriately to make it easier for him to spend on the street.

"Come on, come here."

Cai Ji sat at the table, pondered the silver for a moment, and suddenly waved to the two maids.

Honghong and Lanlan looked at each other and had a bad feeling in their hearts.

They guessed that there was a high probability that Cai Ji was planning to bribe them after he got rich!

As it turned out, they guessed right!

When the two maids walked up to Cai Ji with mixed feelings, before they could say anything, a silver bar was stuffed into each of their hands.

The biggest one!

Fifty taels!

It was so heavy that I almost couldn’t hold it.

"Ah! Shopkeeper Cai..."

"This won't work..."

Honghong and Lanlan were shocked and prepared to refuse at the same time.

It’s not that the money is bad, but they are not mentally prepared yet!

However, Cai Ji did not give them a chance to refuse.

"Listen to me first!" He waved his hands and said with resentment, "After tomorrow, you may never see me again! If I really don't come back in the future, you will help me take care of Wangcai, find a good family for it, and then find it a wife, so that it can live a peaceful and stable life..."

"??????"

"??????"

The two maids were stunned upon hearing this.

Give them one hundred taels of silver just to ask them to help take care of Wangcai?

Is Wangcai made of gold?

You know, their monthly allowance used to be only three taels of silver.

Now I have been promoted three levels, and the monthly salary is less than one or two taels!

And this is in the luxurious Xue Mansion!

The maids in ordinary wealthy families earned at most two cents a month.

One hundred taels of silver is enough for them to work for a lifetime!

"What are you standing there for?" Cai Ji saw the two maids standing there with their eyes wide open, and urged them with a sad face, "Why don't you agree to me now?"

"I promise! I promise!" Honghong nodded rapidly.

"I swear to God, as long as Manager Cai doesn't come back, I will take good care of Wangcai! If Madam doesn't want to keep it at home, I will send it home and let mother take care of it! I will never treat it badly!" Lan Lan was determined and raised her hand to swear, and even made long-term plans.

As the saying goes, there will always be reckless men when there is a big reward!

The two maids each took fifty taels of silver and decided to take a chance.

Even if Cai Ji makes some unreasonable demands next, we can just bear with it.

This is the fate of a maid.

Come early and lie down early.

Cai Ji felt even more lonely when he saw that Honghong and Lanlan didn't care at all about what he was going to do tomorrow.

This is the money he earned.

They took it without any pressure.

ruthless!

Women are heartless!

"Alas, people are worse than dogs!" He shook his head and sighed, waving his hand and said, "Go, go! Go back to your room! I want to be alone."

"what?"

"Oh...okay, ok!"

Honghong and Lanlan were a little surprised. After looking at each other, they turned around and ran away.

As long as the green hills remain, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood!

As long as Manager Cai never comes back tomorrow, we will make a fortune this time!

Cai Ji watched the two maids leave without picking up the silver on the table.

The Plum Garden is an important place in the Xue Mansion, and ordinary people dare not enter casually.

Don't worry about the silver being stolen.

Cai Ji looked around the room for a moment and soon set his eyes on a porcelain vase on the antique display shelf.

He walked forward and took down the porcelain vase, tiptoed to the door, opened a crack in the door and peeked into the side room not far away. After making sure that Honghong and Lanlan were in the room, he went out and headed straight for the garden.

Coming to the place where he had practiced sword skills before, Cai Ji swiftly picked up the fragments of the sword and various gem fragments and put them all into a porcelain bottle.

Then he quickly returned to the house and put the porcelain bottle back to its place.

After doing all this, Cai Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

According to Lanlan's previous introduction, every decoration in the VIP room is priceless.

This sword, which he had accidentally destroyed, was inlaid with so many jewels that it must be worth at least several hundred taels, or even several thousand taels.

If Xue Yi finds out, blackmailing him would be a small matter, but digging into his secrets would be a big deal!

Before she has a certain ability to protect herself, Cai Ji does not want to let her know that he has cracked the secret of performing the Holy Word Technique.

……

At the same time, in the study room in the main courtyard.

Mr. Xue, who had just been urgently called back from the toilet by the servant, was listening to his wife telling ghost stories.

"What? Cai Ji cut off half of the old camphor tree with one sword? Moreover, he was about 70 to 80 feet away?" Xue Xiong was tying his belt with a look of disbelief on his face: "Madam, don't joke with me! Did you go to confront him just now and didn't get the upper hand?"

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Xue was furious and rolled her eyes. "If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to go outside the wall of the Plum Garden and see if what I said is true or not!"

"Is this true?" Cai Xiong still didn't believe it. He stood up decisively and walked to the door. He called his trusted servant who was waiting outside and told him to go to the scene and take a look.

Mrs. Xue watched her husband return to the room and continued to ask, "Old man, you know more than me. What rank do you have to be in order to be able to injure the enemy from a distance?"

"This...cannot be generalized." Master Xue thought for a moment and explained seriously: "The rating of the Demon Suppression Guards is not only based on their cultivation, but also on other things. The low-level ones are mainly based on their cultivation, and at the high-level, various other conditions will be added, such as the ability to govern, the ability to command the army, the ability to make weapons..."

"Just give me a rough idea!" Mrs. Xue interrupted impatiently.

"To release spiritual power, it must be at least level five!" Xue Xiong touched his chin and added with some pride: "Ayi is stuck at this level now. If she can break through soon, she will be able to pass the upgrade test easily with her other conditions."

"According to what you said, Shopkeeper Cai's cultivation is at least one level higher than Ayi's?" After hearing the answer, Mrs. Xue said to herself thoughtfully, "He is not much older than Ayi, but his cultivation is so high, and he looks good... But he is so young, how come he has bald hair?"

"You can wear a hat if you are bald!" Xue Xiong made a joke, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Why, Madam, you... want to marry him as your son-in-law?"

"I didn't say that." Mrs. Xue rolled her eyes at her husband, but she was somewhat tempted.
