Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Hua Yu sat on the second floor, eating nuts peeled by the servant, drinking tea prepared by the opera housekeeper, and listening to the people singing on the stage downstairs.

"When will February go on stage?" Hua Yu turned around and asked the housekeeper behind her.

"Once this act is over, it will be Second Master's opera."

"Oh, okay."

There were cheers coming from downstairs and the sound of coins falling on the stage.

"Young Master, this scene is over. The Second Master will be on stage soon."

"Butler, please go and take care of Eryue. There's nothing to do here for the time being." Hua Yu was not used to having unfamiliar people around her.

The butler also noticed that the young master in front of him was a little uncomfortable, so he slipped away from the box.

As soon as the butler left, Hua Yu asked the servant to move the stool forward so that Hua Yu could see more clearly.

"Young master, this is given by Master Qin and the others." The servant beside him handed over a bag of dollars.

"What's your name?" Hua Yu glanced at him but did not take the purse.

"My last name is Qian, and I am the third child in my family. Young Master, just call me Qian San."

"Qian San, put it here." Hua Yu raised her chin and let Qian San put it on the table.

"What kind of food is there in Changsha? Go buy some for me."

"Qian San, give them twenty dollars each, and any extra will be considered as my reward to you."

Qian San took out another bag from his bosom, gave twenty dollars to another servant boy and two maids each, and asked them to go out and buy a delicacy each.

"Thank you, young master. Thank you, young master." After receiving the money, the three men bowed and thanked Hua Yu with smiles on their faces.

Hua Yu waved her hand and didn't care about the money.

After the three of them left together, they walked fifty steps out of the Pear Garden, holding the dollars in their hands.

"He is really a young master, he doesn't know the sufferings of the world."

"Otherwise, how could we get so much money?"

"That's right. If such good things happen a few more times, I can build a big brick and tile house for my family."

"That's right, just buy him something worth a few dollars to appease him, and the rest is what he can ask for from us."

"Yes, yes, that way we can get more than ten dollars. Adding the monthly salary, I can get thirty dollars this month."

"If I come here once a month, I can come back next year to renovate my house and get married."

"Okay, go buy something and stop standing here."

"Why are you in such a hurry? He didn't tell us when to go back. Why don't we just play outside for a while before going back?"

"That's right, he's in there listening to a play, there's no way he'd come out to look for us, just play for a while and then go back."

The three of them were chatting openly as they walked, and on the other end they were talking about Hua Yu, a young master who didn't understand the sufferings of the world.

What the three of them didn't know was that there was someone following them on the rooftop of a nearby building, who heard everything they said.

"Why did the young master give them so much money? It would take so much to buy some ordinary snacks outside. If you really want to try it, let's go out and buy it ourselves after listening to the second master's play."

"I just wanted to see if they were honest. Who knew they were so greedy?"

"Oh, my young master, those three are honest people. They usually like to take advantage of others in the mansion."

"Okay, when they return home, let Uncle Yu pay them their wages and let them go."

"Young Master is kind-hearted. If it were me, I would ask them to spit out what they ate."

"It's not easy to turn a blind eye to the war outside."

"Qian San always listens to the young master."

Qian San was standing there holding the purse. When he saw the three men running away with the money, he was so anxious that his eyes almost popped out.

Qian San was on the second floor watching the three people leave the Pear Garden gate, then he half-knelt beside Hua Yu and kept scolding the three people.

It was Hua Yu who finally asked Uncle Yu to dismiss those people after Cheng Nuo and others returned home, and Qian San finally gave up.

In Qian San's opinion, all the money in the mansion belongs to the young master. No matter what the young master says, you can't just accept it as a matter of course.

Qian San had been following Di Xin and Fu Guang, and had heard them talk a lot about the young master. They even said that they were destined to work for the young master, so naturally Qian San thought that everything that Master Qin and the others were in charge of were the young master's things.

"You sit down too. I don't follow any rules here."

Hua Yu looked at Qian San, who still looked indignant, and asked him to sit on the stool.

"How can that be possible? You are the master, and I am just a servant. There is no reason for a servant to sit here."

"There's no point in making so many senses. Sit down quickly. Besides, I can't finish all this food by myself." When Hua Yu was about to stand up and press Qian San on the stool, Qian San sat down immediately, not giving his young master a chance to make a move.

Qian San was not idle after sitting down. He peeled nuts for his little master and placed them on the plate in front of Hua Yu.

Seeing this, Hua Yu no longer insisted, but put a little on another plate and pushed it to Qian San's hand.
