Liu Jin naturally understood Wufu’s aning; his young mistress was a lustful person who didn’t 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 humd in agreent, then pulled out a seal and handed it to him, "Here are fifty thousand taels. We don’t know when we’ll be back this ti. 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 there’s any ergency at ho, you can also use this money."
Liu Jin’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Miss, how can you entrust with such an important item?"
Fifty thousand taels was no small sum, and she was giving him control just like that?
"Aren’t you my man? There’s no harm in giving it to you. Given that this ti I’m going out, Sister Zi Yu and the others are coming with , and there’s no one else at ho!" 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 excitent and gratitude.
This was his mistress’s trust in him!
"It’s ant for ergency use!" Wufu, seeing what was on his mind, added another phrase: "So, unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t touch this silver."
"Yes!"
"This trip to Changan, whether you co or not, you must take care of what I’ve 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 acknowledgnt.
"I know you want to learn how to deal with people at the restaurant from Manager Zhong, but these things can’t be rushed. When you’re 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 rchant or scholar-farr families. Although Liu Jin’s true identity was that of a servant, to the outside world, he was Wufu’s sworn brother.
"Miss..."
"Don’t think going to school is a waste of ti. Among those people, there might be so with good minds. If you make friends with them, you will have more opportunities when you travel outside in the future. Rember, at ho one relies on one’s parents, but away from ho one relies on friends. Building a wide network of contacts doubles your effectiveness in business or anything else," Wufu said with profound aning.
Liu Jin was montarily stunned.
"Miss is putting in so much effort to cultivate you. If you don’t bring any good returns in the future, I won’t tolerate it!" Wufu feigned a threat.
Liu Jin imdiately responded, "This servant will definitely learn and perform well."
"Good. And when you have spare ti, go learn so self-defense Kung Fu from Duan Rong and the others!"
Liu Jin’s eyes widened, "Miss, this..." When would he have any ti left?
"When traveling outside, especially as a man, you cannot always rely on others for protection. Take the current situation, for example, you don’t have good Kung Fu skills, so I can’t take you with , 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 Master’s 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 so Spear Technique from Wufu, his skills were certainly rudintary 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, it’ll also be the foundation of your ability to protect your life. So, Liu Jin, don’t resent your mistress for threatening and tempting you like this; it’s all for your own good!"
Liu Jin couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the sa ti, but he didn’t 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 Miss’s words!" Liu Jin looked at Wufu and pledged firmly, "In this life, I’d rather die than betray Miss."
