Chapter 111 Valuable
Seeing their expressions, Lu Jinyan sighed and said, "What are you standing there for? Sit down and eat. I don't have many rules here. Since you're here, you're our family and partners. Just do your job and relax. Don't be shy. Enjoy your meal!"
"Sit down, all of you. Since you've acknowledged Miss as your mistress, then do whatever she tells you to do!" Liu Xu said softly.
The group looked at each other, and finally slowly sat down. With Lu Jinyan's call to start eating, everyone picked up their chopsticks. Lu Jinyan was so hungry that she didn't care about anything else and started eating like crazy!
Chu Chu and the others were already used to Lu Jinyan's crazy eating habits, so they didn't say anything and buried themselves in their food. Ling Yuan had long been tempted by the aroma of the dishes, and seeing that everyone had started eating, he also started eating without being polite.
As a result, they all ate in complete silence. Not only him, but also Qingshan and the others at the other table ate in complete silence. No one spoke a word throughout the entire meal, and the only sound in the dining room was the clinking of chopsticks against bowls.
The food in the demon slave market is distributed according to the demon slave's rank. For the lowest-ranking demon slaves like Tangyuan, let alone eating so many good things, it's already a blessing to have a meal to fill their stomachs.
Although Qingshan and the others are of a higher rank, their food is not very good; they are just edible. Only demon slaves of Lingyuan's rank eat and use fine food and supplies, since their purpose is different.
However, for Ling Yuan, none of those things could compare to the table in front of him. He recognized every ingredient, but he had never tasted any of them before.
Yuan Yi and the others were already familiar with each other, so naturally they didn't need Lu Jinyan to greet them. Everyone focused on eating, and Lu Jinyan was so hungry that she ate two large bowls of rice in one go before finally stopping.
If she weren't worried about eating too much too fast and getting indigestion, she would have loved to finish another bowl!
After eating and drinking her fill, Lu Jinyan patted her belly and let out a satisfied burp. After the meal, Taozhi and the others took care of cleaning up, while Lu Jinyan called Chuchu to her side.
"Yanyan, is there something you need?"
"It's nothing serious. You can keep these demon crystals for daily expenses. If the house is missing anything or needs to be bought, you can arrange for them to buy it. You should also give Liu Xu and the others a monthly allowance. As for how much, you can decide. Every demon servant in the house should be given an allowance. How much each person should receive depends on the situation. You are in charge of arranging all these things."
Lu Jinyan doesn't like managing household affairs, so it's the right thing to do to leave this task to Chuchu. Chuchu is meticulous, and teaching her how to manage household affairs is for her own good. She will get married in the future, so she needs to learn these skills; otherwise, she'll be easily fooled.
"Don't worry, Yan Yan, I'll definitely do it!" Chu Chu didn't think too much about it. She only knew that she had to complete the task that Yan Yan had given her.
After lunch, Lin Churan took Cuizhu back to her courtyard, since there was still someone in the courtyard who hadn't woken up yet. Ruohan also left with Qingshan. Lingyuan had eaten too much and was complaining of feeling unwell. Lu Jinyan gave him a digestive pill and told him to go back and rest.
Lu Jinyan originally planned to go back to sleep, but looking at Lingyuan's back, she thought better of it. Although it was early spring, the weather was still a bit cold. Lingyuan didn't have any clean clothes. Although she had bought him two sets from the system store, two sets were not enough to change into in this weather.
The newly purchased demon slaves didn't have any spare clothes. Due to time constraints, Chu Chu only had time to buy one set for each of them. They couldn't just keep wearing the same clothes, so they all needed to get some.
Lu Jinyan sighed, took Liu Xu out the door, and planned to buy them some clothes. Now that they were back, they couldn't be treated badly.
The master and servant went out, but instead of going directly to buy clothes, they went to the entrance of the pawnshop.
"Miss, weren't we going to buy something? What are we doing here? Miss, are we out of money?" Liu Xu frowned as she looked at the pawnshop in front of her.
"Nonsense, who do you think you are? Your young lady may lack many things, but she certainly doesn't lack money!" Lu Jinyan rolled her eyes. She had plenty of money, okay? There was a huge pile of jewelry in her spatial storage, which was all money!
"Miss, if you're not short of money, what are we doing here?" Liu Xu looked unconvinced. She was convinced that her young lady was broke. She had spent so much money this morning and was now broke, so she had come to pawn her things.
"This is a pawnshop. What do you think you're doing here?" Lu Jinyan waved her hand and walked in without saying anything more. Liu Xu looked puzzled, but she followed her in.
After a stick of incense had burned, the two reappeared. Lu Jinyan's eyebrows were curved, her lips were smiling, her hands were behind her back, and her steps were light. It was clear that she was in a good mood.
Liu Xu, who followed behind, had her lips slightly parted and her eyes glazed over, following Lu Jinyan like a mindless doll.
Liu Xu was completely stunned. She hadn't expected that her mistress's few items were worth so much money.
Lu Jinyan was very familiar with the items she had just pawned, because she also had one or two of them. Not only her, but Liu Qing, the Second Miss, and Miss Lin all had them!
Not only that, she also knew that her young mistress had a whole bunch of those things—yes, a whole bunch.
If these few items alone are this valuable, then imagine the pile of things at home...
She finally believed her young lady's statement that their family lacked nothing except money; they truly didn't.
She never expected that her young mistress would give away such valuable items so casually, and that she would just leave the rest of the house lying around without worrying about others coveting them.
Moreover, her young lady didn't seem to care much about that pile of jewelry. In her words, "These are all trash, worthless. I have more beautiful and valuable jewelry, but I've hidden them away. I won't tell you, haha!"
Liu Xu reached out and touched the hairpin in her hair, feeling a little nervous. After all, it was very valuable, and she would be heartbroken if it were broken or lost.
Perhaps it was just her imagination, but Liu Xu always felt uneasy. She would reach out and touch the hairpin in her hair every few steps. Finally, she simply took the hairpin off and put it in her bosom, which finally made her feel a little more at ease!
She made up her mind: when she got back, she would definitely take good care of all of her mistress's jewelry!
