Greedy for Money Chapter 3

Jin Yu didn't know what a Taifu was before. Shanzhi said that the Taifu was the emperor's teacher, and that he would usually invite some children from prominent families to the Taifu's mansion to listen to lectures due to personal connections. The second young master was one of them.

But! Master Pei is the only son of Master Pei. How could Master Pei be the only son of Master Pei?

Oh, God! Jin Yu originally thought that Master Pei was just a rich man who was fond of men and secretly coveted the Second Master and was just trying to get some information. He never thought that he would step on two big golden boats with one step. Now, if the truth comes out one day, the two golden boats will collide with each other and a wave will kill him.

It is true that money is hard to earn and food is hard to eat, Jin Yu thought angrily.

The school was set up in a house in the courtyard of the Taifu Mansion, next to a rockery and a pond. The house was simply decorated, with books on all four walls. The air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood mixed with ink. There were about seven or eight teenagers present at the moment, laughing and playing with each other. Pei Shiyue took advantage of the chaos to wink at Jin Yu, who hurriedly lowered his head and stiffly arranged the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone for the Second Young Master. When he stood up, he bumped into the Second Young Master's jaw without noticing. Fortunately, they were outside, and the Second Young Master rolled his eyes and glared at him before letting it go.

It was too dangerous to take this silver. If the secret was exposed, it would not be just a matter of kicking him out. He might even be beaten to death by the Second Young Master in a rage. Jin Yu lowered his head and thought.

Or...or I should find a time to explain things to Master Pei.

On this side, Jin Yu was standing in the corridor thinking, on the other side, Xie Jinhe was not familiar with the person serving him because he had changed people. When he took the pen, Shanzhi didn't know to come up and grind the ink. When he raised his hand, Shanzhi didn't know to replace the papers on the desk with new paper. He had to raise his ink-stained hand to Shanzhi and ask for a handkerchief. Shanzhi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He said "oh" twice before taking out the handkerchief. The handkerchief might have been kept for too long, and Shanzhi was so nervous that he was sweating all over. There was a little smell of sweat on the handkerchief, which made Xie Jinhe frown, and Pei Shiyue looked at him thoughtfully.

"You...why didn't you make it clear before that you are Master Pei's..." When Jin Yu went to the toilet, he was pulled away by the young man beside Pei Shiyue.

"I thought you knew." Pei Shiyue was very brave. He even dared to sneak out while his father was giving lecture notes.

Jin Yu was annoyed, thinking that it was indeed because he did not clarify the matter first.

Pei Shiyue slipped out but his heart was still in the school. He was talking to Jin Yu, but his eyes were looking through the window and were glued to Xie Jinhe, almost drooling.

The content is not finished, continue reading on the next page "Oh, what kind of pen does your second young master use to make his fingers look as long as a painting, so lovely!" Pei Shiyue was not embarrassed at all, and spoke with a gangster-like look.

Jin Yu looked at him awkwardly. How could he, with a face as beautiful as the breeze and the bright moon, be reborn as a S3x-hungry ghost?

Jin Yu didn't know what kind of brush the Second Young Master used, it seemed to be made of wolf hair, so he answered honestly: "I don't know, this is my first day serving you closely."

Pei Shiyue finally retracted his gaze, patted Jin Yu's shoulder heavily, and said, "Of course, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are here to serve me."

Jin Yu quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, no, no, Su Wei is sick, I'm just filling in for a few days."

"You asked before," Jin Yu continued to tell what he had found out in the past few days, "The Second Young Master does not have a Concub!ne yet, and I haven't heard that he has a lover, but he will marry a woman..." Jin Yu glanced at Pei Shiyue's face and said cautiously: "The Second Young Master should be... not interested in male homoS3xuality."

Pei Shiyue looked at Jin Yu's timid look and thought that Xie Jinhe, this timid servant, was really interesting. She couldn't help teasing him, and said with a long "oh". She moved closer to him and said, "What should we do? Well, I won't be picky. If Xie Jinhe doesn't like this, the people around him will be fine. I think you are a good choice..."

Jin Yu was startled, her face turned red like a salted duck egg yolk, and her mouth opened and closed, not knowing what to say.

Pei Shiyue was very happy to have made such a joke, and he coughed to smooth things over. Jin Yu then stammered and spoke in a mosquito-like voice: "I... I'm not good at this either..."

Pei Shiyue was about to follow this step down, saying forget it, but Jin Yu continued hesitantly: "Warming the bed costs extra..."

!!! ...

Jin Yu lowered his head, and Pei Shiyue looked at his round head. How could Xie Jinhe be so lucky to find such a lovely servant!

The content is not finished, continue reading on the next page Jin Yu only felt that this job was much safer than being a spy. At most, his life would be in danger. The most important thing was that these young masters from noble families would definitely pay a lot of money when looking for a bed partner. If the money was enough, he would have no principles or bottom line. He would be a fool not to make money by lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Pei Shiyue knocked on Jin Yu's head and scolded him with a smile: "You are so young, but you are obsessed with money. Can this matter be solved by adding money? Don't do this next time. You sell yourself out as soon as you open your mouth. How can a businessman make money from himself? This is a business that will definitely lose money."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yu pursed his lips and said nothing. He felt that dealing with these people was really tiring. Sometimes they wanted it, sometimes they didn't. The food from these two restaurants was too unpalatable for a person as stupid as him. He should just stay in his place and serve the Second Young Master. He thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Pei... I don't..."

"But now there is a deal that is sure to make money. Do you want it? I have heard a little about your second young master. I guess no one in your house is willing to get close to him except Su Wei and Madam Lu? It is normal for a beauty to have a bad temper. Take good care of your second young master and pay him meticulously. I will give you... thirty taels of silver every month. How about it?" Pei Shiyue estimated that he had been out for too long, and if he didn't go back, his father would come out to arrest him. He quickly stated his purpose for today.

Thirty taels of silver? ! ! ! !

Jin Yu had never seen thirty taels of silver in his life. He compared it with the one or two taels of monthly salary of the Xie Mansion. His hands trembled for a moment, and he swallowed his saliva before saying, "Yes...Yes, sir."

"By the way, what did you want to say just now?" Pei Shiyue remembered that this person wanted to speak just now.

Jin Yu couldn't even think of what he was going to say. He was thinking about how much thirty taels of silver was worth, and whether he could become a small landlord after earning a few years and returning to the village. He said vaguely, "I will listen to Master Pei in everything."

Every day when Jin Yu woke up, the first thing that came to his mind was that he was going to become a small landlord. He got up quickly and rushed to do any work, working so hard that his face was beaming. Everyone in Lan Yue Xuan thought that he was going to take advantage of Su Wei's recuperation to climb up the ladder.

But no one competed with him for the position, so he just had to crawl. It was not easy to stay around the Second Young Master, so he might get tortured to death before he even got up.

The second young master is resting today and doesn't need to go out. It's already past three in the afternoon but he hasn't gotten up yet. When he sits up after being full, Jin Yu squats down without saying a word to put on his shoes, busying herself around like a top.

"Second Young Master, do you want breakfast or lunch? Let's keep the breakfast warm on the stove. Lunch is ready. We always have peach slices. For lunch today, I made eel soup and braised quail..." Jin Yu has figured out the second young master's temper. If he gets enough sleep, he won't lose his temper. On weekdays, when he gets up early because of lack of sleep, just tell him about his favorite food and he will be driven away by his gluttony and won't lose his temper. Although he didn't lose his temper today, Jin Yu still habitually told him the names of the dishes.

Content is not finished, continue reading on the next page Xie Jinhe sat upright, not having to do anything, being served comfortably by Jin Yu, he hummed with satisfaction and said, "Then bring them all up."

Xie Jinhe sat down to eat with great interest. He took a sip of the eel soup and got some juice on the corner of his mouth. Before he could ask for a handkerchief, Jin Yu came up with a handkerchief and said, "Eat slowly, be careful not to burn your mouth." Her movements were gentle and the handkerchief smelled of soapberry.

Xie Jinhe looked up at him. He had been serving this new servant for a few days and was already familiar with him. But he couldn't remember his name, so he asked, "What's your name?"

Jin Yu was flattered and said, "My name is Jin Yu."

Xie Jinhe then asked: "Which two words? When did you enter the mansion?"

Jin Yu scratched his head, not knowing why the Second Young Master suddenly asked him about this. He answered honestly, "Gold is gold, and corn is jade. I have been in the mansion for more than a month."

Xie Jinhe thought the name was easy to pronounce, but the explanation was too vulgar. He nodded, remembering it, and said, "You have served well. I will go to the steward to get a reward later."

Jin Yu was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, and let out a sigh with a smile on her face. She couldn't hold back the joy on her face, and she served the dishes and picked out the fish bones for the Second Young Master with a smile. Xie Jinhe was quite pleased to see this, and in his heart he sneered at how such a simple-minded person could be.

Jin Yu never thought that his silly look had left an impression on the Second Young Master. He thought happily that the Second Young Master was not the evil master who made things difficult for people. If he took good care of the Second Young Master, Master Pei would give him money and the Second Young Master would also give him rewards. He could get money from both sides by doing a job. If he continued like this, he would be able to return to the village and become a small landlord soon!

After finishing his meal, Xie Jinhe went to the study to practice calligraphy. However, after a while, a loud noise was heard from the study, which scared Jin Yu and Shan Zhi who were waiting at the door.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is the Second Young Master okay?!" Shanzhi ran in hurriedly, followed closely by Jinyu.

The second young master sat behind the desk with a gloomy face. The royal tribute blanket under his feet was darker than his face, stained with a large pool of ink. There was also an inkstone broken into several pieces on the blanket.

To be continued, read on the next page. Jin Yu quickly squatted down to clean up. Shan Zhi went forward to check if the Second Young Master was injured. The Second Young Master waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, staring at the inkstone. Shan Zhi followed the Second Young Master's line of sight and took a closer look. He was surprised and said, "This...isn't this the relief round inkstone I just bought from Wenmo Pavilion last month?! The Second Young Master treasures it very much and has only used it for a few days..."

Xie Jinhe pursed his lips and said nothing. Shanzhi couldn't bear to see the second master like this, so he immediately said, "I'll go to Wenmo Pavilion and have a look. There should be more."

Xie Jinhe hesitated, and finally said: "Forget it, the queue is too long, and there may not be a ..."

Shanzhi turned around and left, and before leaving he promised: "Don't worry, Second Master, I will definitely bring you a new inkstone."

Jin Yu didn't know what a round inkstone was. If he knew that this thing was enough for Pei Shiyue to pay him several months' salary, he would be more distressed than the Second Young Master.

Jin Yu had packed up and was about to go out to wash her hands, when she saw the second young master stand up, watch Shan Zhi leave, then turn around and say to her, "Shut up and come with me."
