Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 103

"Yes, thank you, Second Master, for your kindness."

Xue Hong thought about it again, and said, "As for our employment relationship...you have to sign a contract, otherwise your household registration..."

In fact, Xue Hong didn't want to sign any deed document. That would not only turn Chang Yong into a slave, but also make him feel that he was treating a good person like a piece of merchandise, and he had to write the owner's name specially. , It’s really not ordinary awkward.

Moreover, for Xue Hong, the loyalty of a subordinate cannot be measured by a piece of paper.

Chang Yong could see Xue Hong's hesitation, and from his tangled face, he could tell that this little master didn't want him to become a slave. Chang Yong only felt warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "What's so good about it?" What's difficult? Since I want to be the second master's personal guard, I'm naturally the second master's retainer, so I just sign a body deed, but the price that the second master gave me should not be too high, I'm afraid I won't be able to redeem it in the future."

Hearing what Chang Yong said, Xue Hong felt relieved.

He also smiled: "Since that's the case, then it's settled. I'll go through the formalities when I arrive in the capital. As for the monthly payment, do you think 20 taels of silver is okay?"

When Chang Yong heard this number, he was secretly startled: "Second Master, isn't this too much?"

Xue Hong shook her head: "If you think that being by my side is as simple as being a guard, then you are wrong. What I am going to do in the future is extremely dangerous, and you are also dangerous if you are by my side. It's not an exaggeration, I think 20 taels of silver is too little!"

Chang Yong smiled, he really didn't take Xue Hong's danger seriously in his heart, he thought it was the young master who said so deliberately in order to raise his monthly income.

'Ding, congratulations to the host for recruiting subordinates and gaining 200 experience points. '

200 points?Hehe is not bad, it is better than nothing at all.

At this moment, a woman's voice came from not far away: "I thought that Second Master Xue was just smarter, but I didn't expect that his skills are also good. I don't know if you are interested in fighting the little girl with me." ?”

Xue Hong was startled, how long has this woman been listening here?Didn't everything he and Chang Yong said just now be heard?this……

Looking back, she was not a stranger, but Xue Hong had no intention of fighting her at all: "So it's Miss Ye, I'm disrespectful. This is better than someone who has tried to move hands and feet. You and I are different, I'm afraid it's not Great, isn't it?"

Ye Siyang naturally heard the rejection and concern in Xue Hong's tone, rolled his eyes and said: "What annoys you the most is that you rotten Confucian scholars, who always put etiquette first, and act in a unhappy way. Forget it, I didn't come to you anyway. To fight you."

In fact, this Miss Ye was going out of the mountain for the first time, but she didn't expect that the first task given by the master would stump her.It has been more than half a year, and there is no news about her mission.If it were another teacher and sister, half a year would be enough to run a dozen or twenty missions. It would be embarrassing to throw it at grandma and her neighbor's house.

"Oh? Then what's your job to find Miss Ye?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask, Ye Siyang looks dejected: "Oh, I know that your family is rich and powerful, and besides, your character is not bad, can you please...help me find a people?"

"Looking for someone? Looking for someone?"

"It's Su Muxue, the daughter of the former Lianghuai patrol salt censor."

"Uh, the first two Huaihe patrol salt censors? Sorry, I'm young and haven't heard of it."

Xue Hong did know that it was Lin Hai, the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, who was currently serving as the censor. As for who the previous one was, he really didn't know.

It was Chang Yong who was surprised and said: "Isn't the second master's hometown from Jinling? How come Master Su doesn't even know?"

"Uh...Master Su? Should I know?"

Chang Yong thought about it, at Xue Hong's age, he was not born when Su Tongyuan's accident happened, so it's no wonder he was there.So he patiently explained: "This Master Su Tong Yuansu was a Jinshi when the ancestors were born, and he was originally from Jinling. He was a rare and honest official in a century. I just don't know how he died of a sudden illness when the official went to Lianghuai to inspect the salt censor. Even his wife followed. At that time, Master Su passed away so suddenly, the people in Lianghuai spontaneously set up sacrificial sheds along the road, which is really pitiful. However, we never heard that Master Su had a daughter. No children?"

Speaking of this, Chang Yong also looked at Ye Siyang with a puzzled face, and Ye Siyang sighed: "They have a daughter, but that daughter has been in poor health since she was a child, and she was always willing to get sick. Later, she was so sick that she was about to die. She has a predestined relationship with the Buddha, and bought a lot of substitutes, but they are useless, so she has to enter Buddhism and practice with her own hair."

"what?!"

Xue Hong was shocked when she heard the words, why is this so similar to Miao Yu's life experience?

Seeing him like this, Ye Siyang was also surprised: "What's wrong with you? Do you know where she is?"

Xue Hong shook her head: "I was just surprised when I heard that the incident you said was bizarre. As a student who doesn't go out, how can I know any girls with hair cultivation?"

Xue Hong was not lying. He had read "Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life, but when he was reading the book, he just skimmed the pages and only picked out the plots he liked to memorize.He did know that Miaoyu was invited to stay as a guest when the Jia Mansion was building the Grand View Garden. As for which mountain gate she had lived in before, Xue Hong had no memory at all.

Not to mention whether this Miss Su is Miaoyu or not, even if it is, he can't find it now.

Chang Yong on the side also sighed: "Oh, Mr. Su is a good official. Since we know that he still has a daughter living among the people, he should find it. It must be good, so that Master Su's spirit in heaven can be comforted."

Xue Hong didn't know Mr. Su, nor did he know what good things he had done for the people during his lifetime, so that Chang Yong was full of praise for him. For Xue Hong, the immediate problem was the most important.

"Miss Ye, is the mission of the teacher's sect you mentioned before to find this Miss Su? Who are you to her, and what can you do if you find her?"

Ye Siyang scrutinized Xue Hong for a while, and his heart sank. Since he wanted something from others, he shouldn't have concealed it.

She broke her heart and said, "To be honest, my master is Miss Su's aunt. Moreover, Master Su and his wife didn't die of illness, they were stabbed to death by assassins hired by those merchants who sell private salt."

What? !

"Miss Ye, such a thing can't be easily said. Do you have any evidence?"

Ye Siyang disagreed: "What can I say? All the salt merchants in Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers ignored the court's laws and regulations, and only cared about making money for themselves, so how could they care about other people's lives? Master Su often governs these people, making them feel uncomfortable making money , and then laid a poisonous hand on Mr. Su."
