Chapter 738: Chapter 737 Coercion and Bribery
Liu Jin naturally understood Wufuās meaning; his young mistress was a lustful person who didnāt care whether it was a man or a woman, as long as they were attractive, she was interested.
"This servant will change it as soon as I go back," Liu Jin said helplessly.
Wufu hummed in agreement, then pulled out a seal and handed it to him, "Here are fifty thousand taels. We donāt know when weāll be back this time. With this seal, you can withdraw silver from the Silver Bank. If Duan Rong seeks you out and needs silver, you can give it to him, or if thereās any emergency at home, you can also use this money."
Liu Jinās eyes widened in disbelief, "Miss, how can you entrust me with such an important item?"
Fifty thousand taels was no small sum, and she was giving him control just like that?
"Arenāt you my man? Thereās no harm in giving it to you. Given that this time Iām going out, Sister Zi Yu and the others are coming with me, and thereās no one else at home!" Wufu explained.
Liu Jin felt the seal in his hand becoming unbearably hot, and he unconsciously swallowed. But what filled his heart even more were excitement and gratitude.
This was his mistressās trust in him!
"Itās meant for emergency use!" Wufu, seeing what was on his mind, added another phrase: "So, unless itās absolutely necessary, donāt touch this silver."
"Yes!"
"This trip to Changan, whether you come or not, you must take care of what Iāve told you to learn. And the county school, you must attend diligently," Wufu warned as she looked at him.
Liu Jin uttered a sound in acknowledgment.
"I know you want to learn how to deal with people at the restaurant from Manager Zhong, but these things canāt be rushed. When youāre free, you can go to the restaurant to observe, but your main focus should still be on the school."
This matter of attending school had been discussed once before between the two of them. Liu Jin had no interest, but Wufu still followed the path she had opened with Wen Congrui at the start of spring, sending him to a small school in the county.
This school was not like the county school; the students there were mostly from merchant or scholar-farmer families. Although Liu Jinās true identity was that of a servant, to the outside world, he was Wufuās sworn brother.
"Miss..."
"Donāt think going to school is a waste of time. Among those people, there might be some with good minds. If you make friends with them, you will have more opportunities when you travel outside in the future. Remember, at home one relies on oneās parents, but away from home one relies on friends. Building a wide network of contacts doubles your effectiveness in business or anything else," Wufu said with profound meaning.
Liu Jin was momentarily stunned.
"Miss is putting in so much effort to cultivate you. If you donāt bring me any good returns in the future, I wonāt tolerate it!" Wufu feigned a threat.
Liu Jin immediately responded, "This servant will definitely learn and perform well."
"Good. And when you have spare time, go learn some self-defense Kung Fu from Duan Rong and the others!"
Liu Jinās eyes widened, "Miss, this..." When would he have any time left?
"When traveling outside, especially as a man, you cannot always rely on others for protection. Take the current situation, for example, you donāt have good Kung Fu skills, so I canāt take you with me, lest you slow us down, what do you say?" Wufu looked at him askance.
After she had put it that way, what else could Liu Jin say? He knew his own shortcomings. To say nothing of others, just consider Ninth Masterās attendants: Xiao Li knew poison and martial arts, and Yuan Ye was skilled in martial arts and also in handling affairs. All of them were absolutely trusted confidants.
By contrast, although he had learned some Spear Technique from Wufu, his skills were certainly rudimentary at best.
"Lady Li is an expert spear wielder. You just learn from her and whatever you pick up is for your own benefit. In the future, itāll also be the foundation of your ability to protect your life. So, Liu Jin, donāt resent your mistress for threatening and tempting you like this; itās all for your own good!"
Liu Jin couldnāt help but laugh and cry at the same time, but he didnāt have a word of rebuttal because he knew it was all for his own benefit. Which servant could boast such fortune as he?
"Liu Jin will definitely obey Missās words!" Liu Jin looked at Wufu and pledged firmly, "In this life, Iād rather die than betray Miss."
