Yu Yuanyuan couldn't help but stand up straight and stared at the host's room, wishing to see through it.
After a while, I saw Xu Yin walking out of the host room carrying a heavy mahogany box.
Going to the center of the patio, he opened it in front of everyone, showing everyone the piles of gold and silver jewelry inside, and said with a smile:
“Oh, in order to catch a mouse, I found a secret compartment at the base of the wall, and there are a lot of gold and silver jewels hidden in it! Now, let alone repairing our nunnery, even if we demolish it and rebuild it, we won’t have to worry about money! Pan’er—”
“Host, Pan’er is here!” Xu Pan’er followed her with a smile on her face.
“Tonight, let’s each add a poached egg and cook more rice porridge so that everyone will be full!”
Thanks to the fact that the sisters-in-law eat a lot of meat and fish, meat and vegetables, even though the nuns at the bottom can't eat it, they are used to it.
No one thought there was anything wrong with eating eggs. On the contrary, everyone was very happy.
Xu Pan'er was the same, and responded happily: "Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "plop" sound, and Yu Yuanyuan was so angry that she fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yin dug out the money that they had more or less hidden from other aunts' rooms like a treasure hunter, and everyone was in awe.
The hole in the wall at the head of the bed, the cracks in the bricks under the bed, the corners of the beams, under the barrel of night incense... can it be found even if it is so hidden?
Does this **** girl have a dog nose?
Xu Yin: Learn about the gold and silver jewelry detection and appraisal instrument! These 5,000 energy points are well spent!
Gathering these belongings, including those found and those that were (forced) handed over by the masters and sisters, Xu Yin sat at the head of the meditation hall where VIP pilgrims were received, and began to count and record them in the account.
"Come and take back the things that belong to you. Remember! I am talking about the real things that you had before entering the nunnery, and were not obtained through crooked means."
Xu Yin glanced at everyone with calm but powerful eyes.
Most people are still frightened and dare not make any small moves under her nose, so they honestly come forward to take back their preciousness.
But there were also some people who wanted to fish in troubled waters and get more. For example, Sister Fang, in addition to taking back a pair of blackened silver bracelets, she also wanted to take away a string of pearl necklaces and two silver ingots, but Xu Yin held her hand down.
“Are you sure these are yours too?”
“It’s...is mine.”
“Really? Isn’t this pearl necklace a gift from Mr. Wu of Mihang? Aren’t these two silver ingots rewarded by Boss Xiao of the Chamber of Commerce?”
…”
Sister Fang was so frightened that she said, "How do you know?"
Xu Yin gave her a toothy smile: "What do you think?"
“...”This **** girl really deserves a beating!
Xu Yin took a ruler and rewarded her with two pieces of paper in her palm.
The two seemingly light blows were so painful that Sister Fang turned pale.
In this way, no one dares to take more. They honestly get what they deserve and return to their original position to wait for the next step.
They finally saw it clearly: the new host was incompetent and very capable. He couldn't be beaten or rebutted. Apart from following her arrangements, they couldn't think of a second feasible way at the moment.
Xu Yin counted the remaining money and put it all into the public account of the nunnery. In front of everyone, the money was divided into two boxes, one box for jewelry and gold and silver ingots, and one box for the popular large foreign currency. The scattered coins and coins were packed in a separate bag.
"I personally keep the money. You don't want to wonder where I hide it. Anyway, it is in the safest and most hidden place. The account book is kept by Pan'er. Meihua, you know arithmetic. Come to me regularly every month to withdraw daily expenses. , you will arrange for people to go out to the nunnery to purchase."
Xu Yin promoted a trousers nun named Zhao Meihua. When she was a child, she came from a good family. She learned arithmetic and memorized poems. Later, her family fell into decline. She came to Haicheng with her parents to seek refuge with relatives. She was involved in a conspiracy as soon as she got off the dock. After a gunfight, her parents died on the spot. She was rescued by Lao Zhapuni, who was out for alms, and brought her back to the nunnery, and she became a member of the nunnery from then on.
But because she has a quiet and reserved personality and doesn't talk much, she is often bullied by her sisters and aunts. For example, they ask her to wash their feet. Halfway through washing, they touch her face with foot washing water, and then make fun of her for being ugly. For example, when it's time to hold the lamp, let her She held a candle above her head to give them light. Just now, the hostess criticized her and said the tea was hot, so she was brought a pot of freshly boiled tea and ordered her to stand with a stick of incense holding the scalding tea for a while...but she never said a word. Resist.
Only Xu Yin could tell that this girl was suffering from severe depression. If she didn't help her, it was unimaginable what would happen.
Perhaps, in the original text, when the original wife and concubine of the marshal jointly killed him, a fire broke out in Yakushian. It was not caused by thunder but was caused by humans.
Zhao Meihua didn't expect that the new host would reuse her. She met Xu Yin's encouraging eyes blankly: "I, I can't."
"You can do it. You're good at arithmetic. It's perfect for you to leave this matter to you. But every expense must be recorded. At the end of each month, I will check your branch accounts and Pan'er's general ledger. Don't you two find it troublesome? That’s good.”
Other trousers-wearing nuns looked at Xu Paner and Zhao Meihua with envy.
Xu Yin did not miss their looks: "If you work hard, everyone will have a chance! But I value integrity more than ability. If you are not sincere, you will not be able to impress people. Anyone who does one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, who acts secretly and alienates colleagues, don't Blame me for being rude!"
Then he rubbed his chin and looked at the group of sisters and sisters: "You seem to be unconvinced? In this case, I will give you a chance to choose your own path: I welcome those who are willing to stay and participate in the construction of this nunnery; those who want to leave this nunnery due to unfavorable fate I won’t stop you from pursuing your own life. I know that many of you were forced to be separated from your family back then. If you want to go home, I will give you a fee; if you don’t want to leave, just follow me. Let’s go ahead and use our hard-working hands to build the nunnery into our real home! But I’m going to say something ugly beforehand. Anyone who steps out of the nunnery door today will never want to come back in the future.”
"If you choose to leave, will you really make trouble for us?" Sister Fang hesitated for a long time and then plucked up the courage to ask.
Xu Yin nodded: "Yes."
If the heart is not here, it is useless to force it to stay, but it will make people's hearts discord.
There was a rustling sound of discussion below, and finally seven people stood up. They were all sisters with beautiful looks and unwilling to live in poverty.
They are not going home. At this age, they are going back to earn bride price for their brothers at home. They want to go to the city.
They used to live a happy life and were unwilling to be like Xu Yun and marry a fat old man as a concubine.
But now, instead of falling into Xu Yin's hands and being forced to return to the life of a nun with strict rules, it would be better to take the money and go to the city to try her luck.
Perhaps a kid from a rich family will covet their appearance and figure and marry them. The first wife has no hope, but the concubine is still afraid of not having a chance? (End of chapter)
