Chapter 117 Spirit Stone Falls from the Sky
Chapter 117 Spirit Stone Falls from the Sky
Ji Jiuying looked at the spirit stone on the ground, confused. What was Wen Chuyu doing?
"This is... Chu Yu gave it to me?"
"Yes... No... Uh, I guess so!" An Er didn't know how to answer for a moment, "Someone used these three hundred thousand to take Miss Ji's life last night."
Ji Jiuying showed an expression of understanding. Could it be that she was worth 300,000 high-quality spirit stones?
"Do you know who it is?" Ji Jiuying wanted to know who this big enemy who gave her money was.
"Mo Yunran." An Er said.
It turned out to be her. It seems that the lesson I taught her last time was not enough. But this time, the money was gone, and the person was not assassinated. I guess she must be feeling as painful as if blood was dripping.
However, given her vengeful character, if the assassination attempt fails this time, she will probably hire another assassin to kill her.
Humph~ Even though I didn't succeed in the assassination this time, I still have to give her something in return.
"An Er, can you help me put this packet of medicine powder into Mo Yunran's tea?" Ji Jiuying asked.
"Of course, but what kind of medicine is this?" An Er asked curiously.
"It's not poison, it's just some medicine that can make a person's cultivation level decline the more they practice."
Humph~ Mo Yunran, ah Mo Yunran, even if the Dantian is repaired, so what? This lady has already warned her that if she dares to provoke her again, she doesn't mind destroying her again.
An Er was shocked. Is there such a medicine? But he would know if it was true after observing it.
······
Ji Jiuying gave 100,000 high-quality spirit stones to Leng Shuang and asked the ten of them to divide them, leaving 200,000 for later use.
Ji Jiuying had just finished her breakfast when Butler Sun came to see her.
"Princess, there are many job applicants outside. Do you want to bring them all in?"
"Bring them all in, I will choose them myself." Ji Jiuying thought for a while and said.
As the day dawned, the Princess's Mansion was already crowded with people.
Some were onlookers, some were people looking for work with their children, and some were applying for servant positions themselves...
"Dad, I'm so hungry."
"Yaya, bear with it a little longer, it should come out soon." The man comforted her.
This man was the ugly man in the crowd yesterday. Although he was dark and ugly, he raised his daughter to be fair and clean. The couple had a daughter in their old age and they loved her very much.
Although Yaya was a girl, the couple sold all their belongings to support her in learning to read and write, so that she could marry into a wealthy family and become a personal maid in the future, without having to work hard as a laborer for them.
At this time, the door slowly opened.
A group of people rushed to be selected, but were stopped by the guards at the door.
"Everyone, don't worry. Everyone has a chance to be selected. Now, men, one row, women, another row, line up and follow me in. The princess will personally select you."
Butler Sun's mellow and majestic voice came.
Soon two long lines formed and walked in slowly.
Ji Jiuying was watching the footsteps of the two rows of people walking in the dark, haha ~ interesting.
A group of people were attracted by the magnificence of the mansion and secretly vowed to be selected.
Ji Jiuying sat at the stone table in the yard, sipping the tea in her hand carefully.
Looking at the neatly arranged people in the yard, he said with a smile on his face, "Come forward in rows for this princess to see."
Although her tone was calm, one could vaguely hear an innate majesty in her voice, and her condescending attitude made people unable to help but feel a sense of submission.
The people in the first row walked forward nervously.
"One, five, six, and eight will stay, and the rest will be sent out." Ji Jiuying continued to drink tea with her head down.
"Three, five, and nine will stay, and the others will be sent out of the house."
Wow, most of the ten people are skilled in martial arts.
After a stick of incense had passed, there were more than 200 people, but only about 40 were left.
There were eighteen men and twenty-eight women.
The people gathered at the gate of the Princess's Mansion watched as group after group of people came out dejectedly.
Some were just there to watch the show, while others looked worried, fearing that their own children would also be eliminated. They only breathed a sigh of relief when no one came out in the end.
"Put your hands out." Ji Jiuying walked closer and checked one by one.
"what's your name?"
"My lord, my name is Qiuyue."
"You come out."
The maid named Qiuyue was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She didn't know why the princess called her out alone, and she was afraid that she would be eliminated.
"What's your name?" Ji Jiuying asked again.
"The slave Shuanghua."
"Why are you here even though you are sick?" Ji Jiuying frowned slightly.
The girl named Shuanghua knelt on the ground and cried out in fear, "This slave did not mean to offend the princess, but my old mother is bedridden at home, I really... woo woo~"
"Then what can you do?" Ji Jiuying suddenly felt sorry and asked.
"My lord, I can sew and trim flowers and plants."
“Have you learned it?”
"I learned this from my mother. My mother used to work in the palace."
Ji Jiuying raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything, just asked her to go over and be with Qiuyue.
"What about you? What's your name?" Ji Jiuying looked at the girl in front of her. She was fair and delicate, with a hint of scholarly air.
In this world, if a girl can read, her family background will definitely not be bad.
"My name is Yaya."
"She is fair and clean, and looks like a lady from a wealthy family." Ji Jiuying asked.
"My Lord, my parents were old when they had a daughter, and they put all their efforts into me, just to help me escape from that bitter and cold life."
This girl is quite honest and straightforward. Ji Jiuying waved her hand, motioning her to go over and be with Qiuyue.
"Okay, Steward Sun, take these people away and teach them some rules. Also, distribute these 100,000 high-quality spirit stones to the maids and servants in the mansion. After all, it's almost the New Year."
"Yes." Butler Sun put all the spirit stones into the space ring.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones? This was an amount they dared not even think about. This princess was too generous! I wonder if the newcomers have any.
Ji Jiuying saw what they were thinking, and said, "Don't worry, you have a share too."
Everyone was delighted when they heard this, "Thank you, Princess."
This is not a princess at all, this is clearly their financial sponsor. They have to work hard in this princess's mansion from now on.
Little did she know that this was exactly what Ji Jiuying wanted.
After those people left, he turned around and looked at the three people who stayed behind, "Do you have the Yellow Book with you?"
(To explain to readers, the Yellow Book is similar to the modern household registration book)
"My princess, we have taken it." After saying this, they handed the yellow book to Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying took a look and put away their yellow book. Now Qingling would stay in the winery for the time being as she was in need of a personal maid. After Leng Shuang and the others finished their training, she would take Qingling back.
"From now on, the three of you will be the maids in this princess's courtyard. Listen carefully, this princess hates people who do little things behind her back the most.
If you do anything to offend this princess or the princess's mansion in the future, then you will not be able to bear the consequences. Do you understand?"
