Like Lu Chaoge, Fang Xin and others originally thought that the new boy was just a friend that Gu Caiwei found somewhere, so they didn't take it seriously.
Until Lu Jing's sword was easily grasped by Lu Jing, Lu Chaoge, a master of the third-rate realm, could not pull out the sword no matter how hard he tried. In the end, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Yuan Xin and others' eyes changed when they looked at Lu Jing again.
The bald monk's face changed several times, his eyes flickered, full of surprise and uncertainty.
In contrast, Luo Lao's concentration was slightly better. There was fear in his eyes, but his expression did not change much.
Just lowered his head.
As for the remaining middle-aged woman who had her eyebrows pierced, a look of hesitation flashed across her face.
Now she is the only one among the three who has not yet demonstrated her martial arts.
She thought for a while and said truthfully, "This... Brother Lu's martial arts skills are incomparable to me. If Mr. Gu has such a master at his side, why should I wait to protect the family?"
"It's not the same thing. Lu Lang has his own residence in the capital and is busy with other things on weekdays, so I still need some manpower, especially my mother's," Gu Caiwei explained.
"In this case, Ms. Cui of Qinghe County has also made a fool of herself, but it's better to say some things first."
The middle-aged woman named Cui was not in a hurry to take action. She paused and continued, "Mr. Gu previously said that the salary of the Capital Nursing Home is roughly between eighty taels a month to fourteen taels a month. I also know the market price. So, my skills are better than those of ordinary nursing homes, so my asking price is also higher than those of ordinary nursing homes.
"If you hire me, it will cost you fifty taels of silver a month. If you hire me less than that, you won't have to worry about it. In addition, I have a daughter. Her father died early. If I go out to work, no one will take care of her, so I have to take her with me." She is around, but Mr. Gu can rest assured that she is seven years old this year.
"They are very well-behaved and don't cry like other children... These are my conditions. If Mr. Gu thinks it can be considered, then I will demonstrate what I have learned. In the end, you can tell me whether it succeeds or not. Make your own decision.”
Gu Caiwei frowned slightly when she heard this, thinking that this was another Wei Changsheng and his ilk who were thinking about raising their salary before doing anything. Moreover, this woman named Cui had a much bigger appetite than Wei Changsheng.
With fifty taels of silver a month, an ordinary nursing home can already hire five people, and she also has to take care of her daughter.
But in business, the most taboo thing is to reject the goods without even looking at them, so Gu Caiwei just hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, if you have the real ability, everything can be discussed."
When the middle-aged woman named Cui heard this, she held the pair of Erqimen weapons in her hands.
Then he walked around the small courtyard with tic-tac-toe steps, using various moves such as pick, point, stick, belt, chop, throw, shoulder, and swing.
The Emei thorn was originally a water warfare weapon. It could be used to fight people in the water or to dig through the bottom of a boat. Therefore, Cui's movement was like a swimming fish, agile and changeable.
It's just compared to the previous one where Fang Xin connected with the horse-killing sword with two fingers, and God Luo Guo used his superb light kung fu to unknowingly take away the jade pendant from Gu Caiwei's waist.
Her rigid moves seemed a bit bland.
After completing the last twenty-seven postures, her figure returned to where she originally stood, finishing her exercises and arching her hands.
Gu Caiwei was a little disappointed, but then she heard Lu Jing, who had been watching the fun on the sidelines, let out a soft sigh and praised, "You are good at this."
Lu Jing didn't say that out of politeness.
With his current first-class level and superhuman eyesight, and looking at many martial arts, he can see many flaws at a casual glance.
However, he could hardly see many flaws in Cui's Emei tattoo technique just now. Of course, if he really had to fight, as long as he applied enough pressure, Cui would definitely not be able to do it so seamlessly when parrying. .
But even so, she is quite good at using the Emei thorn. She has obviously worked hard for decades and has almost reached the state of Dzogchen. In addition, she is a third-rate master. There should be no problem in winning against Lu Chaoge.
A monthly salary of fifty taels of silver now seems not only not expensive, but also a bargain.
So Lu Jing said again, "Are you short of money? With your skills, you can get a job in the palace, and you should earn more."
"There are too many rules in the palace. Cui, a woman from a mountain village, really can't get used to it." Cui shook her head.
This is true. Many people in the martial arts don't like to be restrained. This is why it is so difficult for the Imperial City Division to recruit people.
But Lu Jing always felt that Ms. Cui did not tell the whole story. Of course, this was her freedom. Lu Jing did not go into details and gave the choice back to Gu Caiwei.
Then Gu Caiwei asked Ms. Cui several questions, including the cause of her husband's death and whether she had any criminal records against her enemies. After receiving satisfactory answers, she directly decided to hire the person. She just waited for someone to verify that everything was correct so that both parties could sign a contract. .
Upon seeing this, Yuan Xin opened his mouth to say something, but glanced at Lu Jing and swallowed the words back.
Gu Caiwei wanted to recruit two nursing homes this time. Cui had already taken one position, and there was still one left. Gu Caiwei's eyes swept over the faces of Yuan Xin and Luo Lao.
In the end, he said, "You two have worked hard today, and the unique skills you displayed are eye-opening to Gu. Here are ten taels of silver, five taels per person, which should be considered as some reward for your hard work. I hope you will not refuse."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xin and Luo Gao looked at each other, and the latter reached out to grab the silver and walked out of the courtyard without saying a word.
However, Yuan Xin seemed a little unwilling, and said, "Master Gu..."
As a result, before he could say anything, Lu Jing suddenly spoke again, "Mr. Luo, please stay."
When the hunchbacked Luo Lao heard these words, not only did he not stop, but his pace actually became faster. Then he actually rose directly into the sky, using his Qinggong to the extreme.
The whole person transformed into a big bird, spread its wings and flew over the courtyard wall, and threw itself into the street outside.
But before his body hit the ground, he heard a loud noise behind him, and then someone grabbed him by the collar and carried him back like a chicken.
Lu Jing felt something was wrong when his body touched Luo Lao's back. Then he tore Luo Lao's clothes and found that his back was stuffed with cotton. Then he reached out and touched his face. Sure enough, he also found something wrong. A human skin mask arrived.
When he took it off and took a look, he couldn't see what kind of old man he was. He was clearly a young man in his late twenties and early twenties. He looked quite handsome, but he had a pair of triangular eyes that looked a little lewd.
