After registering for Amu, Lu Jing could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
This means that the little wooden dummy will no longer have to hide around in the future. He can accompany him to the academy to study openly, and he does not have to worry about someone from Si Tianjian coming to check the water meter.
After sending Amu and Black Cat home, Lu Jing thought for a while and then came to Gu Caiwei's residence.
He has been "missing" for more than a month, and he will probably stay in the academy for a longer period of time, so Gu Caiwei still needs to inform him in advance.
So Lu Jing came to Bai Yaxiang according to the address that Caiwei left before.
Although with the help of Princess Fu'an, Gu Caiwei has gradually established a foothold in the capital, her business has grown bigger and bigger, and she has made some money. However, in order to accompany her mother and wait for the return of her father who has been missing for many years.
The couple still lives in the old house.
It was a small courtyard with only one entrance, less than half the size of Lu Jing's house. It could barely accommodate the two of them plus a concierge and two maids.
But as Gu Caiwei's Hong Luo Tan became more and more famous, business dealings were inevitable, so Gu Caiwei simply bought a house next to it and used it as a place to receive guests.
She spends most of her time here during the day, handling some affairs.
When Lu Jing came to the door, Gu Caiwei was busy.
In addition to her and an old housekeeper, there were six other people in the small courtyard.
All six of them are from the world of martial arts.
Among them were a bald monk who looked like a monk, a young male swordsman in white, a sturdy man carrying a cleaver, a hunchbacked old man, a middle-aged woman who used Emei tattoos, and an accountant with an iron abacus. .
Although the six people were all standing in the courtyard, their expressions were different.
Among them, the big man carrying a machete seemed to be quite impatient, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Isn't Mr. Gu a little too ungrateful?"
"Why did Brother Wei say this?"
"This salary is only twelve taels of silver per month. Are you sending beggars away? For the sake of Third Brother Xie, I reluctantly agreed to come to your place as a nursing home. In the end, I only had such a small amount of money. No wonder people say Women are stingy.
"I have a friend whose martial arts skills are far inferior to mine. I can beat him three times. Now he works as a nurse for He Yuanwai for a month," the big man surnamed Wei said while holding out two fingers. "Not only food and accommodation are included, but also flowers and wine at the end of every month."
"Why doesn't Brother Wei go and join He Yuanwai?" Gu Caiwei asked.
"Hey, you little girl, I already told you that I came here just for Brother Xie's sake, why are you still so ignorant?"
The big man surnamed Wei seemed a little annoyed. He removed the sword from his shoulder and stood beside him.
And as the blade fell to the ground, it made a muffled clang sound, and the whole courtyard seemed to tremble.
However, the expression on Gu Caiwei's face did not change at all, and she still said slowly, "Brother Wei, does he think that because I am a woman, he doesn't understand anything? The salary of the nursing home in the capital is higher than elsewhere, but the average martial arts The middle man is roughly between seven taels of silver and fourteen taels of silver."
"It's very kind of me to give you twelve taels."
The big man named Wei didn't seem to expect that the delicate woman in front of him was actually knowledgeable, and she was not frightened by the bluff he just made, so he looked obviously embarrassed now.
At this time, the male swordsman in white also came out to smooth things over, "Hey, everyone, please calm down. Before we came, didn't we all listen to Brother Xie about the salary? Since everyone is still willing to come, we should all accept it." This is the price, so give me some face, brother, and stop worrying about it."
His words were called persuading peace, but he was obviously more on Gu Caiwei's side. After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Caiwei expectantly, hoping to see a look of gratitude on the latter's face, but he didn't expect that Gu Caiwei didn't look at her at all. Instead, he looked in the direction of the courtyard entrance and said in surprise, "Lu Lang, are you back?"
"Yeah." Lu Dingding nodded, and then said, "Caiwei, you go to work first, my things are not important, let's talk about it after you are done."
"Okay." Gu Caiwei nodded, not hiding the joy on her face, "You haven't had your dinner yet, we'll have it together then."
Lu Jing had no objection. He had already heard from the conversation just now that Gu Caiwei was recruiting nurses, so he picked a corner and stood aside, watching quietly.
When the male swordsman in white on the side saw the scene just now, he felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
He was not a fool. Although Lu Jing and Gu Caiwei only exchanged a few words, he could tell that the relationship between the two was not simple. Especially when Gu Caiwei looked at Lu Jing, the admiration and tenderness in her eyes could not be concealed at all.
Then the look on his face darkened.
The male swordsman in white is the beloved disciple of the leader of the Qilian Sword Sect. He went down the mountain to practice on the order of his master. In his capacity, he actually disdains being a guardian. Naturally, the reason why he comes here is not for the twelve taels of silver every month.
In fact, not long after he came to Kyoto, he heard people talk about Gu Gu, the most beautiful person in the world. It has been almost three years since her husband died, but she still has not remarried. She is doing business as a daughter, but she is able to run the business prosperously.
Who wouldn't want such a stunning beauty?
So he also started to think about it, but there were many men in the capital who had the same idea as him, but because Gu Caiwei belonged to Princess Fu'an, they could only think about it, but they couldn't take action.
Gu Caiwei usually appears in men's clothing when discussing business, making it difficult to get close to her.
It was rare that she was admitted to the nursing home this time. The head disciple of the Qilian Sword Sect felt that this was a good opportunity to get along day and night and fall in love over time, so he eagerly approached her.
But now it seems that the rumors are not accurate. Gu Gu, who usually has a cold face, seems to have a romantic interest secretly.
The male swordsman in white felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was a little distracted for a while. He did not hear clearly what Gu Caiwei said after that. He just turned his head from time to time and kept looking at Lu Jing with an unkind expression.
It wasn't until a while later that he heard Gu Caiwei say, "Okay, that's pretty much all the requirements. My place is small and I don't need many nursing staff. I only need two, so I have to trouble you all next." Let me introduce you, and if you can, please show me your hands."
The six people in the courtyard looked at each other after hearing this. In the end, the strong man surnamed Wei who had been arguing with Gu Caiwei about his salary stood up first and said, "Since everyone is not willing to be the leader, then the man surnamed Wei will do it first." To cheer you up."
