The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Chapter 255: Share the Good

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

Late at night, in the stillness of the room, Ye Ling sat on the bed in the space, looking at the still unconscious Jiu You, mumbling to himself: "You! You've been asleep for over two months. I drank with my brothers today. Although there are many people around, I still feel lonely and uncomfortable. I just want you to wake up and talk to me, and I'll be satisfied."

"Master, have you drunk too much?" Mengmeng asked.

"You're the one who's drunk. I just miss Jiuyou." Ye Ling said as he lay down and hugged Jiuyou's arm: "There are thousands of people in the world, but only you understand me."

Just as Ye Ling was about to go to sleep, she suddenly felt Jiuyou's fingers move and hurriedly shouted, "Mengmeng, turn on the light, turn on the light quickly."

The room suddenly lit up. Ye Ling lifted the quilt and held Jiu You's hand: "You can hear me, right? You can hear me, right?"

Jiuyou's hand really moved, and Ye Ling cried with joy: "Mengmeng, he responded to me, he really responded to me."

"Master, the operating table said that Jiuyou's consciousness has basically recovered, but he has not woken up yet. Sometimes he is sensitive to the outside world." Mengmeng was also very happy.

Ye Ling held Jiu You's hand tightly, not daring to let go. "When you hear me talking, try to wake up, okay? Please."

Jiuyou's hand moved again, obviously responding to Ye Ling.

That night, Ye Ling barely dared to sleep, and continued to chat with Jiu You until dawn, when Jiu You finally stopped responding. Only then did Ye Ling dare to go to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already noon. He asked Jiuyou again, but found no response, so Ye Ling left the space.

Qian Qing in the front yard was startled: "Miss, didn't you go to the Renzi Hall? You didn't even have breakfast."

"I...I came back to get something," Ye Ling replied.

"Okay! Miss Su is going to rest after lunch. I will make you something to eat."

"No need, if there are any left, I'll have a bite or two." Ye Ling walked into the kitchen and sat at the small table where Qian Qing and the others usually ate.

Qian Qing quickly brought three dishes and a bowl of rice: "Miss, do you think it's enough?"

"That's enough." Ye Ling asked while eating, "Qianqing, are you used to living here?"

"I'm very used to it. I feel very free. All I have to do is cook every day. Even the ingredients are delivered every five days. I don't have to worry about anything at all." Qian Qing was very happy.

"That's good. Wanqi, are you still obedient? Are you cold at night?"

"It's not cold. There's a brazier in my room, and it's all good charcoal."

"Don't forget to open the window when using carbon"

"This servant knows that the small window has never been closed."

"That's good. By the way, although there is no winter in Zhezhou, the weather has been a bit cold recently. I made some winter clothes for you and Wanqi. They are on the table in my room. Go and pick them up later."

"Yes, thank you Miss."

"I'm full. I'm leaving. I'll come back to eat in the evening. I want to eat... hot pot. Let's eat in the dining room. It's too cold outside."

"Yes, I will prepare it."

Ye Ling left the Immortal Peak and went straight to the Renzi Hall. Everything in the hall was the same as before, and everyone was doing their job.

In the study, the fire was burning brightly and the tea on it was boiling. Ye Ling poured himself a cup and sipped the tea while reading the book in front of him.

Yingchuan walked in: "The envoy is here."

"Yes, coming," Ye Ling responded.

"Secretary Ji, I just heard something. One of the two women yesterday committed suicide and threatened Secretary Ji to stay. It was the one named Qi."

Ye Ling immediately became interested and put down the book: "Is it true? How will Ji Sishi deal with it?"

"You also know Ji Sishi's temper. He scolded her and sent someone to Wanquan Escort Agency to call her father over. He said that Qi Yi should not be embarrassed. He also said...this is Langya Pavilion, not a brothel. Anyone can come in."

"Ji Si is so venomous!"

"He didn't even go. He asked Chen Qianshi to tell Qi Yi that if she wanted to die, she could die. After she died, she could be buried in a grave."

"What about Fang Shu?"

"Qi Yi locked Fang Shu out last night, and I don't know the rest..."

Ye Ling nodded. "Interesting. It's said that Qi Yu is a tough guy. I wonder how he has the nerve to come pick up his daughter this time. Doesn't he know what kind of child he has? How dare he let her out to cause trouble?"

"It's really terrible. The Qi family has lost all face this time."

Wu You, the "official" came in and said, "Official Ji asked you to go to the living room of the Renzi Hall. He said that the people who came to pick up the eunuch have arrived and want to see you."

"Didn't you hand it over to Tianzitang? Why do you want to see me?"

“This, the visitor didn’t say.”

"Got it." Ye Ling put down the book and stood up: "Yingchuan, you don't have to follow me."

"Yes"

A quarter of an hour later, in the living room of Tianzi Hall, Ye Ling was a little surprised to see the person coming: "Yue Kun?"

Yue Kun stood up and bowed, "Envoy Ye, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Don't bother me, what are you doing?"

"To pick him up, we are really grateful to Ye Sishi for helping us catch him," Yue Kun said.

"There's nothing to thank me for, as long as the money is in place," Ye Ling said, looking at Ji Ruochen.

Ji Ruochen immediately said, "Envoy Ye, this man is now the commander of the Imperial Guards."

"Hey! Congratulations! Commander Yue," Ye Ling said as he sat down opposite.

"You are too polite, Envoy Ye," Yue Kun said, and asked his men to give Ye Ling a wooden box. "This is the extra reward from His Majesty."

Ye Ling smiled and said, "No reward without merit. I've already gotten what I deserve by arresting the eunuchs. You should take these back!"

"This... Envoy Ye, His Majesty has already spoken, I'm afraid it won't work to take it back." Yue Kun was embarrassed and quickly looked at Ji Ruochen for help.

Ji Ruochen said helplessly: "Envoy Ye, if you don't accept this little gift from His Majesty, Commander Yue will be in trouble too."

"Okay." Ye Ling snapped the box shut. "Tell him that from now on, we'll write off everything and not interfere with each other."

"Yes, I will definitely pass it on." Yue Kun swallowed the other thing back. Nangong Che still wanted Ye Ling to have time to visit the capital.

"Is there anything else, Commander Yue?"

"there is none left"

"That's good." Ye Ling stood up and took out a few thousand taels of silver notes from the box: "Envoy Ji, this is a New Year's gift for you. It will be shared among everyone. The day after tomorrow evening, I will personally cook a table of dishes. Let's drink again at Xianren Peak. Goodbye!"

Seeing the person leaving, everyone in the house was in a daze. Yue Kun thought for a moment and said, "Envoy Ji, is Jiuyou really alive?"

"Alive, but in a deep coma. No one knows whether he will wake up. Envoy Ye has made a note of this matter to many people. You... should also be aware of this. For this reason, our sect leader personally led people to destroy the Falcon Prison."

Yue Kun nodded: "Okay, I understand. Then... I'll take my leave. The person has been taken away."

Ji Ruochen escorted Yue Kun to the main gate: "Commander Yue, take care and have a safe journey."

"Envoy Ji, please stay. Goodbye!"

After Yue Kun left, Fade Chen whispered, "Envoy, Envoy Ye gave you five thousand taels! But... she seems very angry."

"Can you remove the image? I'll give you some extra money. This new emperor is a bit of a bully!" Ji Ruochen was very unhappy.

Ye Ling came to Ganlu Hall with the box. Before he even entered, he heard a voice: "Senior Brother? Senior Brother?"

"Envoy Ye, the sect leader is in the study," said Ma Tao.

"I understand." Ye Ling walked quickly to the study and found Yue Chi was there too.

The two people who were looking at the map looked at the person who came in through the door.

"Great! Envoy Yue is here too, so I don't have to make a separate trip. Come on, you and my senior brother will each get five thousand taels. We'll divide the goodies among us. Keep it. Also, please give these five thousand taels to Xuanyuan. Also, confiscate these five thousand taels. Okay, done. This is my early New Year's gift to everyone. I wish you all a happy new year and all the best. I'm leaving now."

"Stop!" Mo Yufeng and Yue Chi said in unison.

Mo Yufeng stood up, glanced at the four coins Ye Ling had placed on the table, and then touched Ye Ling's forehead: "You don't have a fever! Junior sister, are you... okay?"

"I'm fine, I feel great and everything I eat tastes delicious!"

"So what are you doing...?"

"Oh! That bastard Nangong Che sent someone to pick up the eunuch, and also gave me extra money." Ye Ling bit the word "reward": "Since they gave it, then I will accept it. Let's share it together. I also gave 5,000 taels to Yue Sishi. Don't be a fool if you have money. Besides, the royal family has the most money, right?"

"Junior sister, are you...are you unhappy?" Mo Yufeng was a little worried.

"No, I'm very happy. The day after tomorrow evening, I will personally cook some new dishes. Let's invite Yue Sishi and Xianren Peak, and we can have another drink together, okay?"

Mo Yufeng looked at Yue Chi, who was still in a daze: "Um... no problem for me, I can go help in the afternoon and cook together."

"Great, it's settled. Goodbye, brothers!" Ye Ling said, then turned around and left while holding her box.

Yue Chi looked at the banknotes on the table. "Five thousand taels each for the four of us, and if we confiscate them, that's twenty-five thousand taels in total. And this time she's completed three big orders at once. So all the men in Langya Pavilion are being kept by a female servant? Am I understanding this correctly?"

Mo Yufeng looked at the money on the table: "Giveaway boy? I always feel something is wrong. Okay, go and take a look. I'm about to go back. That's it for today."

"Okay." Yue Chi stood up, took his own portion, and left happily.

Ye Ling walked back happily, and the box had already been put into the space.

Meng Meng said: "Master, are you unhappy?"

Ye Ling replied in his heart: What's there to be unhappy about? He owes me these fifty thousand taels. Last time I helped him kill the commander of the cavalry army, we agreed on one hundred taels. I gave out twenty-five thousand taels, and I still have half left. I will go back and take out another five thousand taels to share among my cousins, and I will keep twenty thousand taels for myself. It's enough. As a person, you can't be too greedy. Money paves the way!

"Master is right. Our warehouse is full of gold and silver. We are richer than the warehouse of Langya Pavilion. We don't care about these tens of thousands of taels. Besides, Master is the best at making money."

Ye Ling smiled: My Mengmeng is right. If we can earn money, we dare to spend it. We cannot bring it with us when we are born and we cannot take it with us when we die. So we should spend it. Spend it freely. Spending it happily is the best thing to do. This is the real financial freedom.

"Mengmeng supports the owner, let's spend money together"
