Chapter 653: Hiring Ling Wei (1)
"What do I need to do to earn so much money?" Ling Wei glanced at Ji Xiaomu and said, "Just give me the money I earn as a market clerk. I don't need so much."
"The highest monthly salary for an ordinary steward is no more than ten taels." Ling Wei reminded, thinking that Ji Xiaomu didn't know how much a steward's monthly salary was.
"...I may have a lot of things to do." Ji Xiaomu thought about the things she had to take care of now... and silently raised the monthly salary to one hundred taels.
Otherwise she was afraid that Ling Wei would run away.
"Okay, then I'll take advantage of you!" Seeing that Ji Xiaomu insisted, Ling Wei no longer refused.
When Ling Wei takes over and is busy as a dog every day, she will want to slap herself hard in the face for what she has done today.
It makes you not take it seriously and make you feel that you are getting an advantage.
When Ji Xiaomu saw that Ling Wei agreed, she was delighted. Now she could finally have some free time.
"Let's go! I'll take you to meet Si Jing!" Ji Xiaomu smiled at Ling Wei.
"Okay." Ling Wei raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Ji Xiaowu had a good relationship with the third prince's wife.
But before the two of them reached the door, they saw Si Jing walking towards them.
"Imperial Concubine." Ling Wei saluted to Si Jing.
Si Jing quickly pulled Ling Wei up and said, "We are all family, don't be polite."
"Sister-in-law." Si Jing smiled at Ji Xiaomu, and Ji Xiaomu also smiled. "I was just about to take her to find you! And here you are."
"Are you in sync?" Si Jing said with a smile.
The three of them returned to the garden where they had just sat down. The servant immediately brought them hot tea and left.
After the three of them sat down, Ji Xiaomu told Si Jing about Ling Wei's story. Si Jing was surprised and impressed. Ling Wei saw that Si Jing didn't think she was shocking, and then looked at Ji Xiaomu, and suddenly understood why people are grouped together.
"You are so brave." Si Jing looked at Ling Wei and really admired her.
"Third Prince's wife, please stop praising me!" Ling Wei said embarrassedly.
"Don't call me the Third Prince's Consort. Just call me Si Jing." Si Jing said to Ling Wei.
"Isn't this bad? It's against etiquette." Ling Wei was stunned. Although she had never interacted with the princes, she knew their style of doing things.
"What's the etiquette here? We are all family here, and those things are just for show." Si Jing shook her head nonchalantly. "Besides, you are Sister Jing's person now, so you are family, and don't do those empty formalities."
"Then... I won't be polite?" Ling Wei glanced at Ji Xiaomu, who nodded. "I really don't care about these things, just rest assured."
"Then Sister Jing, please stop praising me." Ling Wei said with a smile.
Si Jing was stunned, "You are older than me too?" Her tone was a little disappointed.
"I'm seventeen?" Si Jing looked at Ling Wei, holding on to the last hope.
"Sister Jing... I'm already twenty." Ling Wei said with a smile, "My brother Ling Feng is the same age as you. He's seventeen this year. I'm three years older than him."
"Wow..." Si Jing looked at Ling Wei, "But your face looks younger than mine!"
"..." Ling Wei lowered her eyes and sighed softly.
"She never ages." Ji Xiaowu said with a smile, "Even when she is fifty, she will probably still look like this."
"There is actually such a thing?" Si Jing asked in surprise.
"You actually knew that?" Ling Wei looked at Ji Xiaomu. She didn't expect that she also knew about the eternal youth.
"I've read some miscellaneous books." Ji Xiaowu smiled, "I know a little bit about all sorts of things."
"My sister-in-law is very powerful. I think she knows everything." Si Jing nodded, complacently, as if she was praising herself.
