Chapter 639: Prestigious Family
Mischievous children were much more interesting than a quiet and well-behaved child!
When Lin Yaxiang heard Yu Xian say that, she heaved a sigh of relief. “There’s one more thing. This child is only my nephew. Occasionally, he’ll stay at my place, and he’ll have to go home often. So, I’ll have to trouble you to go to both places. Also… Before we settle you down, I’ll have to get you to meet his father and eldest brother.”
The position of a teacher was more important. She could not settle it on her own.
“It should be done.” Yu Xian nodded.
Lin Yaxiang was even more satisfied now.
She made an appointment to meet with the Xie family tomorrow morning.
Yu Xian did not object.
She was thinking more about that Taoist master!
She had taken advantage of her. Previously, she had suspected that the Taoist master was bluffing. She did not expect that her fortune-telling was so accurate!
It had been several days since she had come to the capital to look for her relatives.
When she had come, she had looked for the Zhou family and wanted to meet her cousin. Unfortunately, when the servants of the Zhou family saw how dirty she was, how could they be willing to inform the family?
She was a woman. She had come on her own and had tarnished her reputation, so she did not dare to say that she was the Zhou family’s cousin. Feeling helpless, she could only leave first and save up some silver to change into a set of clothes. It would be best if she could buy a maidservant. She would return after everything was ready.
However, it was difficult to make money in the capital.
She did not have much ability. She could not embroider, much less cook. If she cooked, the stove would explode.
Other than having some martial arts skills and a bit of strength, her entire being was useless!
She could only do some hard labor, but she had a big appet.i.te. The copper coins that she earned every day were exchanged for grains and steamed buns to stuff her stomach…
She did not expect to encounter such an amazing thing.
Ten taels of silver. She would work for two months. She would have enough to buy hair accessories, clothes and a maid!
Yu Xian’s eyes lit up. When the next morning came, she did not slack off at all and arrived early.
Lin Yanxiang saw that she was still wearing dirty old clothes. She was afraid that she would be rude, so she thought about it and brought him to buy a new set of clothes.
Initially, Lin Yanxiang wanted Mr. Yu to wear her brother-in-law’s clothes, but Mr. Yu kept shaking his head. He went to the shop to buy a set of clothes when he was told that it was a salary advance.
Although it was not of good material, after Yu Xian put it on, the sense of filth instantly disappeared.
“Take this IOU. If this doesn’t work out, I will definitely return the copper coins for the clothes to you.” Yu Xian said solemnly.
She was a single woman, so it was really inappropriate for her to wear a man’s old clothes.
Although no one else knew about it, it was something that she would wear. She felt weird and uncomfortable.
She could only use the salary that she had yet to earn.
She was too poor.
Yu Xian sighed, thinking that it was the first time that she had struggled to survive all her years on Earth.
However, when he arrived at the Xie Residence, Yu Xian was already somewhat shocked.
“Your relative has such a powerful background?! This is an official’s residence!” Yu Xian’s face was full of shock. “Then why didn’t you tell your name when you met that b*stard earlier? You’d scare him to death. How would he dare to make a move?”
“This isn’t what I own. I’d feel something isn’t right to be using someone else’s name for my own benefit.” Lin Yaxiang shook her head.
Especially Xie Niushan’s name.
Yu Xian clicked her tongue and sighed. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t accept me.”
Her own family was considered a high-cla.s.s family. In Dong’an, they were well-known and influential.
In the old residence, not to mention a teacher who taught his children to study and practice martial arts, even a servant who served food and drinks was only selected after going through 1,000 candidates.
How could they just pick someone they found by the street?
Yu Xian did not hold much hope now.
