Chapter 323 A Large Team
After a day's rest, the team prepared to set off.
Before setting off, Qin Bingrui brought his mighty circus team and asked everyone to line up outside the city and wait for everyone to gather.
When Eunuch Yao arrived, he spoke with disdain.
"Why would a girl like this have to lead a team of men?"
Qin Bingrui was rarely polite in explaining to others.
"I'm a circus, and I can perform on the road to make some money."
"I heard that the two Miss Qins are good at business. Why do they need to do such a little trick to make money?"
Qin Bingrui was really confused when he heard his sarcastic tone.
But he is a big shot around the emperor, so we have to give him some face.
Then he shouted Lao Jin at the top of his voice.
"Old Jin, come here."
Old Jin ran to Qin Bingrui with an account book in his arms. It was an infinite honor for his family to be able to report the accounts in front of His Royal Highness Prince Ning and Chief Envoy Yao.
"Sir, let me briefly tell you about the little money we've made these days. Over the past month, we've averaged six to eight performances a day, with around two to three hundred people attending each show, and the admission fee is ten coins per person.
If there are good performances during the show, some rich gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen will give us tips.
By the way, we have also divided the best viewing areas according to Mr. Bai’s suggestion, and the fee ranges from thirty to one hundred cents.
Seeing that there were many people watching the show, Aunt Qian and Aunt Wang, together with Mrs. Bai and Miss Xiaotao, prepared some special snacks to sell inside the venue. As the number of people watching the show increased, regardless of whether they were ordinary people or wealthy families, we Flying Tigers members took the opportunity to sell the architectural models that Miss Bai taught us to make at the door, which brought us a considerable income.
In the end, we calculated that we had earned more than 16,000 taels of silver in these two months."
Although the money earned was not particularly much, for the members of the Flying Tigers, being able to be self-sufficient and wealthy was simply unimaginable wealth.
Qin Bingrui smugly pouted at Eunuch Yao after hearing this, imitating his sarcastic tone: "Hey, Master Yao, we're just a bunch of jugglers in the Flying Tigers Circus. We're nothing like Master Yao's men, who all earn their keep from the government and don't make their own money. Do you think I'm going to lead them into robbery?"
Then he asked Zhu Jinyou, "Mr. Zhu, I want to ask, how much are the employees in your house paid? I want to see if we can increase the wages of our Flying Tigers Circus."
When the Flying Tigers heard this, they all became excited. They were going to get a pay raise. Could anything be more exciting than this?
Zhu Jinyou didn't know about this, so he asked Song Si: "How much do you make a month?"
Song Si didn't expect His Highness to ask seriously, so he whispered, "Master, my salary is about 30 taels a month. After all, I am your personal bodyguard, so this salary is the highest in the palace."
You can't compare it with ordinary employees.
After hearing this, Yan Xuan muttered, "It's actually fifteen taels more than the salary of the commander of the Imperial City Division."
Xia Liang was startled and stared at Yan Xuan with wide eyes: "What? You only make fifteen taels a month. If I follow you, won't I be left with nothing?"
Xia Liang's frightened cry disturbed everyone. Eunuch Yao frowned. This country girl actually dared to despise the monthly salary of fifteen taels.
Luo Yu gently patted Xia Liang's arm.
"You have no idea about money. An ordinary family earning fifteen taels is enough to cover their expenses for a year."
Seeing that Miss Luo Yu was speaking for him, Yan Xuan raised his head and straightened his back and said, "Although I don't make much now, I will definitely make more money in the future."
Xia Liang said with a smile, "It's nothing. At worst, I can just hang out with Sister Luo Yu and make money to support you!"
Yan Xuan: Why does it make me feel inferior to others?
Qin Bingrui ignored what they were saying and said to Lao Jin, "Starting today, your salary will be increased to 15 taels of silver, and everyone else's will be increased to 10 taels of silver. If you earn more in the future, your salary will increase even faster."
After hearing this, Lao Jin's hands holding the account book were shaking.
From now on, let alone making money, even if it means risking his life, he will live and die with Miss Qin.
The members of the "Flying Tigers" were all very excited. The meaning of their lives seemed to be sublimated at this moment. Miss Qin was their only faith.
The lackey led the wolves in howling. Did their wages also increase? Could they eat meat to their heart's content in the future?
Eunuch Yao was stunned and had nothing to say.
Forget it, I’m too lazy to communicate with these abnormal people. When they go to the imperial city, they will know what outsiders are.
Song Si whispered to Zhu Jinyou, "Master, can I get a raise on my salary?"
Zhu Jinyou: ...
After setting off, the growth of the team shocked everyone along the way.
The lackey led the wolf pack and followed on both sides. Since the three large teams had hundreds of people, more than forty wolves were nothing.
Bai Lingyi had specially driven a carriage to escort the prisoner, Ma San, with several large wolves following in front, behind, and on both sides. Ma San, locked inside the carriage, saw through the window a pack of wolves and three large groups, and he was terrified. Could they have mobilized such a large force just to capture him?
Or maybe they said they wanted to deal with the second branch of the Bai family, but actually they wanted to deal with the Queen?
Ma San heard some rumors a few days ago that someone in a remote southwestern tribe saw a dragon descending. Could this be a sign that the ruler of the world is about to change?
Ma San could never have imagined that when the sky was about to change, the people from the capital came to arrest him, a small fry. What went wrong? Even if he had to die, he wanted to die with a clear conscience.
……
Rumors of a dragon descending from the sky and a change of ownership of the heavens spread far and wide, and soon spread from south to north, reaching the capital...
If Luo Yu knew that releasing the dragon would be so powerful, he would regret not releasing a phoenix. If all else failed, he could release some monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which would cause less trouble than releasing the dragon.
Unfortunately, it’s too late!
Eight days later, the team arrived safely in Tanzhou.
In order to allow the girls to have a good rest, Zhu Jinyou took the initiative to tell Eunuch Yao that he wanted to rest in Tanzhou City for two days before setting off again.
No matter how anxious Eunuch Yao was, he certainly could not offend the prince in person.
This time, the owner of the Murong family did not invite Luo Hong and others to stay at Xiaoyao Villa.
Qin Bingrui muttered, "Could it be that Master Murong has really gone to the capital to take the imperial examination?"
Luo Yu still felt thrilled when she recalled the days she lived in Xiaoyao Villa. The fighting and killing every day was not a good thing. She asked Xia Liang and others to find a vacant lot outside the city to set up the circus. She took her mother and children into the city to live in the house where Qin Bingrui had won the championship before.
They never expected that as soon as they arrived outside the city gate, the old housekeeper of the Murong family was waiting for them at the city gate with a group of servants.
Tanzhou is an open city where the people live and work in peace and contentment. Both inside and outside the city, it is extremely bustling. Young men and women walk on the streets, all of them full of energy and self-assured, giving people a refreshing feeling.
The old steward of the Murong Mansion recognized Qin Bingrui and his party. When he saw their carriage entering the city, he hurriedly took small steps to greet them and bowed.
The servant following behind him closely, fearing that the old butler would be too anxious and stumble and fall.
"I welcome His Royal Highness Prince Ning into the city."
Then he walked to Qin Bingrui's parked carriage and said in a much softer tone, "Excuse me, is this gentleman Qin Bingrui, Mr. Qin? And is the lady sitting in the carriage, Miss Qin Luoqiong?"
Qin Bingrui nodded repeatedly: "Old housekeeper, I recognize you. Wasn't the last martial arts competition hosted by you?"
"I am deeply moved that Young Master Qin remembered me. This time, Madam Murong specifically asked me to come and greet the two distinguished guests and take them to the Murong Mansion."
Qin Bingrui's pupils widened. "Old Madam Murong asked you to take my sister and me to live in the Murong Mansion? Did I hear that correctly?"
Qin Bingrui had never been so surprised. The old housekeeper didn't even bother to greet Eunuch Yao, instead of letting His Royal Highness Prince Ning stay. He actually took the initiative to invite him and Sister Luo Yu. What an honor...
"Master Qin heard correctly. I didn't explain it clearly. Madam Murong is old and has caught a cold these days. She can't come to greet you two in person..."
"Okay, okay, go ahead. We won't bother you anymore, Madam. We have hands, feet, and a carriage. Old housekeeper, you can get in the carriage too. We'll just follow behind you."
After Qin Bingrui finished speaking, he glanced at the team of Zhu Jinyou and Eunuch Yao in front of him with a smile. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The old lady of the Murong family was really awesome.
Fang held Luo Yu's hand and asked worriedly, "Is Old Madam Murong the real grandmother of Master Murong?"
Luo Yu nodded and said, "I think so."
Although Fang didn't say much, her worries were real. On one side was His Royal Highness Prince Ning, and on the other side was Young Master Murong, the grandson of the Murong family. Being caught between the two might not be a good thing.
