Chapter 274 Contract of Sale
Chapter 274 Contract of Sale
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhaozhao asked again: "Then the fate of the two of you is obviously much more severe than theirs! One was murdered, and the other is a man!"
Zhao Lingxiao: "...it was only apparent later."
"Big Brother!" Bai Zhaozhao suddenly became serious, "Can I ask you a personal question?"
"Ah."
"But you can't hit me!"
"……it is good."
"Are you... straight?"
Zhao Lingxiao was stunned: "What? Straight?"
"Ahem." Bai Zhaozhao changed the question, "Do you like women?"
This time Zhao Lingxiao answered very straightforwardly: "I don't like it!"
At the same time, he was also very confused. What kind of problem was this? How did it escalate to the point of beating someone?
Bai Zhaozhao raised his lips: Don't like it? He said he doesn't like it!
At this moment, Zhu Hanyan's expressionless face flashed a smile, and she immediately exposed his shortcomings: "Oh, him? How can a woman like him when he is a secret guard and hiding from men? His face is wasted! Zhao Zhao, don't believe him, he said he doesn't like him just to save face!"
"Whoosh!" A white light flashed, which was the reflection of Zhao Lingxiao's drawn sword. In just a moment, before Bai Zhaozhao could react, Zhao Lingxiao put the sword back.
What a fast sword!
Bai Zhaozhao couldn't help swallowing.
Forget it, she should stop asking this rotten girl question!
Zhu Hanyan's expression finally cracked. He held the strand of hair that was cut off and looked at her with a spitting fire: "What? You won't let me tell you the truth?"
Zhao Lingxiao drew his sword halfway out of its sheath again: "You haven't taken the test this year."
I wish Hanyan will stop.
Bai Zhaozhao became curious instead: "Second Brother, it's just a test, what are you afraid of?"
Zhu Hanyan remained silent. Zhao Lingxiao slowly put the sword back: "I'm afraid I'll break the sword and I'll have to buy a new one."
Bai Zhaozhao: ...It turns out that people are poor and have low aspirations.
"Come to think of it, I see that our main hall is quite impressive, but there is no salary... um, I mean monthly salary or something like that?"
Zhao Lingxiao: "Yes, there are a hundred acres of land under Yunwu Mountain belonging to the sect, which is almost enough to cover expenses. Each disciple gets two taels per month. As for the main hall, it is handed down. You can't take down the glazed tiles and sell them, right?"
That makes sense. I thought Feihua Sect has been passed down for thousands of years and must have considerable assets!
Has it fallen to this point?
Hey, that’s not right!
She remembered that the wretched old man had said that she could take anything in the hall. Although there were not many decorations in it, it could be seen that they were all fine products. Aren't they valuable?
Thinking of this, Bai Zhaozhao asked.
Zhao Lingxiao looked at her in amazement: "How dare you sell the treasures in the sect?"
"Uh... I don't dare! I just mistakenly thought that the sect was very rich."
Well, that is to say, this sect lives in poverty while guarding the treasure. Unless your family is rich, like Xie Xingmeng, you have to find ways to make a lot of money on your own, like He Anyu and Wang Jinnian. Of course, there are also people who don’t make much money, such as Zhu Hanyan and Zhao Lingxiao.
Speaking of money, Bai Zhaozhao felt that he was quite wealthy, but a lot of his money was exchanged for flowers, herbs and medicines and placed in the space.
"Brother, let's go to Linyang County by water!"
"it is good."
"By the way, Senior Brother, what is the largest amount of money you have received in the order?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Lingxiao's eyes: "I'll escort you for two hundred taels."
Bai Zhaozhao was silent for a moment. To be honest, he really didn’t contribute much when escorting her back then!
Hey, that’s not right!
"Didn't you lose the bet?"
"Yes, I lost. If I hadn't lost, I wouldn't have accepted this mission and would have gone straight back to the mountain gate."
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
"What about you, Second Brother?"
Zhu Hanyan glanced at Zhao Lingxiao and said with a hint of pride: "I went to the Northwest Army with 500 taels to escort medicinal materials."
Bai Zhaozhao blinked: "Could it be the medicinal materials from Jishidiang?"
Zhu Hanyan thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called this name."
"Hmm... Senior Brother, I found that your greatest luck is related to me. Didn't Master say that the reason you haven't died is because of the merits of the sect? Hehe, if you round it up, it's my merits! Right?"
Zhao Lingxiao: “…Yes.”
Zhu Hanyan: “…Yes.”
So Bai Zhaozhao waved his hand and said, "In that case, you two will be my secret guards and I will cover all your expenses. How about that?"
Zhu Hanyan was surprised and said, "Master originally asked us to follow you."
"No! Senior Brother!" Bai Zhaozhao said seriously, "You are a real secret guard. You will do whatever I tell you to do!"
"Okay! I agree." Zhao Lingxiao expressed his opinion without saying a word.
"Okay!" Bai Zhaozhao took out the four treasures of the study and started writing.
After a moment, she smiled sincerely: "Brother, as the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly. We brothers and sisters should also have a rule! After signing this indenture...ah, this employment contract, you will become my Bai Zhaozhao's secret guards, and from now on you will share honor and disgrace with me, and share merits and virtues with me!"
After hearing this, Zhu Hanyan was so moved that she almost cried, and immediately picked up a pen and signed her name.
Zhao Lingxiao was a little hesitant: "Protect you like before?"
Bai Zhaozhao pointed at a line on the paper and said, "No, as long as it doesn't go against your interests, you have to listen to me! But don't worry, brother, we are friends! How can I cheat you?"
Zhao Lingxiao nodded and signed his name.
Bai Zhaozhao put the contract away with satisfaction.
As far as she knew, once a grandmaster in the capital became a priest of a family, his monthly salary would be at least one thousand taels.
However, her two senior brothers were in danger of death, so this path was not feasible.
Strangely enough, since that day, Zhu Hanyan has never compensated anyone with any money.
Bai Zhaozhao's guess was correct. Good deeds could resolve disasters. Somehow, she pretended to be a disciple of Feihua Sect, and their fates were connected, so she became their luck-maker.
As for when the fatal disaster would occur, she really didn't know.
In early April, the grass is green and the birds are singing.
The three of them came out of the Linyang County Wharf and saw a thriving scene with shops lining up all around and constant shouting.
The streets are bustling with people.
Bai Zhaozhao was indeed a little surprised. The wharf in Linyang County was not well developed before. It was just a small dock.
Now it has become a place with prosperous trade, which shows that Prefect Zhong has governed the place very well before.
Bai Zhaozhao even saw a few familiar figures here. They were the villagers from Hexi Village who were carrying medicinal herbs.
If I'm not mistaken, they should be working in Baiji Workshop outside the city.
Bai Zhaozhao did not go to say hello. She took the two secret guards into the city.
Jishiditang.
Song Ren was looking at the two people in front of him with a headache, not knowing what to say.
"What? You're not convinced? Sue me if you can!"
"Sue you? Fine! You said it!"
"That's right, I said this! Go ahead and sue me! Humph, you ignorant boy, do you know who my father is?"
"Oh, who is your father? You should ask your mother to know who your father is! How should I know?"
"You! How dare you! I'm warning you, you can't mess with my father!"
"Okay, okay, your dad is awesome, but I'm different. Do you know who my brother is? Do you know who my sister is? I'll tell you and scare you to death!"
"Hey, okay, okay, tell me, tell me and see if you can scare me to death!"
