Chapter 117: Giving Out Silver
After hearing what Jiang Yuan said, Qu Ying became a little hesitant. She sat there without saying a word, pouting, and no one knew what she was thinking.
A bowl of noodles came from the clouds, looked at the silent atmosphere in the room, and winked at Chunzhi, who pursed her lips and shook her head.
"Girl, girl?" Siyun called out twice in a low voice. Jiang Yuan looked up at her, and Siyun pointed at the noodles on the table.
Jiang Yuan waved his hand, signaling them to go out first.
When they were the only two left in the room, he snapped his fingers in front of Qu Ying and said, "Eat noodles."
Qu Ying held the bowl and chopsticks, but failed to pick up two noodles for a long time.
"What's wrong? You don't have to go if you don't want to."
Qu Ying quickly shook her head, "No, it's not that I don't want to go, I'm just afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
Putting down the chopsticks, he sat down very seriously and said, "I'm afraid of losing face, but it's okay to lose my own face, I'm thick-skinned anyway.
But I don’t want to embarrass the Marquis’ Mansion, nor do I want to embarrass my mother.”
Jiang Yuan held the water cup and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
“Think about it, an old general like General Wu has certainly seen my mother fight on the battlefield, and my father is also a military commander.
But I don't know how to do anything. If I go and they see me, it will be embarrassing for the princess's daughter to be so useless."
Jiang Yuan patted Qu Ying's head with relief, causing her to turn her head away.
"Oh, my Lingling has grown up, but you don't have to worry, no one has stipulated that after becoming a military commander, one must know Kung Fu.
As long as you are willing to work hard, endure hardships, and learn, it is not shameful.
I want you to go because you have learned Baguazhang very well, but you have too little practical experience and your on-the-spot reaction is not good enough.
There are many soldiers in the military camp who know some boxing and kicking skills. Fighting with them can increase your practical experience and make your reaction more acute.
Of course, if you don’t want to go, you don’t have to force yourself. You can practice at home to keep fit. ”
Qu Ying held her chin and looked at Jiang Yuan eagerly. After a few minutes, as if she had made up her mind, she clapped her hands on the table, straightened her back, and sighed heavily.
"Oh my gosh." He said these two words with great effort, picked up the bowl, ate all the noodles in big mouthfuls, and drank up all the soup.
Jiang Yuan looked at him and couldn't help but stop him, "Hey, hey, hey, the military camp provides meals, you won't starve."
After eating a bowl of noodles, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "No, you don't know. I'm not used to the food here. Even the wine I drank today was sweet. Why do people here like sweet food so much?
Looking at the table, I didn’t eat a single bite, and on the way back in the carriage, I wanted to chew the seat.”
Jiang Yuan worked hard to make a batch of incense pills that night. Fortunately, there was only one fragrance. The next morning, Siyun gave the incense pills to the maids who came to pick them up in the private room of the restaurant as agreed.
Jiang Yuan accompanied Qu Ying to the ready-made clothing shop and selected several sets of men's clothing for each of the maids around him. He measured the sizes in the shop and asked the embroiderer to make the alterations as soon as possible.
Jiang Huai is busy all day long. He gets up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a night owl. You can't find him even if you want to talk to him.
When Siyun came back, Jiang Yuan, Qu Ying and others had just returned from the clothing shop.
The wooden box was placed on the table, and when it was opened, there was silver and banknotes inside.
"Miss, there are a total of 1,480 taels, of which 1,100 taels are silver notes. I have checked them and they are all silver notes from Tongbao Commercial Bank. The rest is silver."
He put away the banknotes and took out eighty taels of silver and placed them on the table. "The four of you will each get twenty taels of silver."
Chunzhi and Luzhu were already used to Jiang Yuan giving them silver as rewards, but Siyun and Changying were a little uncomfortable with it and looked at each other.
Lu Zhu happily pocketed her own silver and stuffed the forty taels into the two's hands, "This is given by the young lady, just take it, two sisters."
Siyun took the silver and said awkwardly, "I heard Mohua mention it before, saying that the young lady gave a lot of silver as a reward, but I didn't expect it to be so much.
Those two damn girls have been with the girl for so long, they must have become wealthy women, yet they are still so stingy in front of me every day. "
Changying received a lot of monthly salary and rewards, but he had never received such a generous reward. Every time he completed a task, he would receive a reward. Now, just by accompanying the girl to eat and drink every day, he would also receive a reward.
Chang Ying was not a shy person, so she accepted the money and bowed to Jiang Yuan, "Thank you, young lady."
"It's also hard work for Changying."
Qu Ying picked up the remaining silver in the box and said, "Oh, I'm a little envious of you."
Jiang Yuan glared at her and said, "Here you go. This whole box is yours."
Qu Ying chuckled and pulled out a piece of gold weighing five taels from the box. "Give this to me. There is a gold shop on the street that makes small and exquisite gold locks. I'll go make one for you."
There was only one piece of gold in the box, and there were no two pieces even if you looked for them. Everyone in the room laughed and was very happy.
Chunzhi said, "I will go to the military camp tomorrow. I will buy some vegetables today and cook a delicious meal for the girl."
The few of them hit it off immediately, and the maids, accompanied by Changying, went to buy groceries, leaving Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying in the house to chat.
The embroiderer at the garment shop was very skillful and by the evening the clothes had been altered. Early the next morning, Xie Yunxiao escorted a carriage to the garrison camp.
Captain He was the one who greeted them again. This time his attitude was completely different from last time. He walked up to Jiang Yuan cheerfully and said, "Miss Jiang, everyone is looking forward to seeing you."
"Excuse me Captain He."
As they were talking, several people got off the carriage. Captain He introduced them as they walked, "Two girls from General Wu's family have also arrived. The general said that he would let Miss Jiang take them to study.
Hey, I want to learn the Kung Fu you used to compete with me last time, can you give me some pointers later?"
Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement. It just so happened that it would be a good idea for the girls to practice Tai Chi.
General Wu was waiting at the school training ground with his two daughters. The two daughters were also wearing men's clothes, but they were obviously not used to it. They kept tugging at the hems of their clothes and sometimes pulling down their sleeves.
Seeing the person coming over, General Wu stepped forward and said, "Is this the eldest princess's daughter?"
Qu Yingfu bowed and said, "Greetings, General."
General Wu waved his hands quickly, "No, no, you are too polite, young lady.
I have two daughters, the eldest daughter Wu Jingsi and the second daughter Wu Jingqi. I will leave the two daughters to Jiang Yatou."
Jiang Yuan smiled gently at the two girls, "Don't worry, General Wu."
After saying hello, the army was currently training. Jiang Yuan took a few girls to a shady place. Everything had to start with horse stance. If the chassis was unstable, everything would be in vain.
Xie Yunxiao received Jiang Yuan's order to find a few people who had some martial arts background but were not very powerful to fight with Qu Ying. Qu Ying squatted in a horse stance, gestured with his hands, and muttered to himself.
Qu Ying was very familiar with the horse stance. Different from the other girls whose faces had changed, she was in a trance and did the horse stance very steadily.
