The arrival of Wu Shu and the others had little impact on Chen Jingke.
I was quite curious in the first two days. After getting in touch with her, I found out that she was just an ordinary girl and not the queen she would become.
At most, he is prettier, smarter, and in better shape than ordinary people...other than that, there is nothing else.
Once his curiosity passed, he didn't care much. Even when he went to see a doctor, Sun Simiao took the Taoist boy with him, and he rarely followed him to watch the fun.
Well, Sun Simiao already knew that his disciple was not a genius, and it would be difficult for him to become an all-round talent. After the master and apprentice communicated, they basically gave up research on medical skills and focused mainly on knowledge.
So his life returned to what it was before, reading and studying in the morning and doing his own things in the afternoon.
That day, Yihe came over to invite him and said that the pinyin annotation work was completed.
He hurried to the outer courtyard, and after a random inspection, he found that there was no problem. He said happily: "Okay, okay, you did a good job... Maybe you don't know the significance of what you are doing..."
Everyone was naturally very excited, and Yihe said: "It's all the credit of the real person. We just do things according to your instructions and don't dare to take credit."
After a few months, she has become the actual person in charge of this project team, and everyone is quite convinced by her.
Of course, this result was caused deliberately by Chen Jingke.
A snake can't do without a head, and he can't stay in the project team every day. The best way is to find a reliable person to watch over him.
Yihe's knowledge and ability are not particularly outstanding, but he is good in character, careful and serious, and with Chen Jingke's contract, he doesn't have to worry about her having any objections.
That's why she was asked to be the person in charge.
The operation is also very simple, just convey everything through her. Everyone is not stupid, so they naturally know what he means.
In addition, she is indeed a good person and knows how to take care of everyone's emotions, so everyone gradually accepted this fact.
The rewards and punishments were clear, and everyone completed the pinyin annotation work as scheduled. Naturally, Chen Jingke could not express his gratitude.
He first said to those who had the status of Taoist priests: "Each of you will be rewarded with ten copper coins, two pieces of silk, and an independent small courtyard."
Everyone said happily: "Thank you, Master." From then on, they were regarded as a family of homeowners.
Many people secretly looked at the Yihe Yilian sisters, but immediately gave up the idea when they thought of their identities.
It's not just because they look down on their origins, it's mainly because they are Chen Jingke's slaves... Who dares to make any decisions?
But then Chen Jingke did something that made them jealous.
He finally looked at the two sisters, pulled out two pieces of paper from his sleeves, handed them over and said, "This is your reward."
Looking at the two pages of paper, the two sisters Yihe and Yilian were so excited that tears filled their eyes. The two flimsy pieces of paper were extremely important to them.
"Thank you, Master." Elaine, who was younger, shed tears and gulped down her thanks, then stretched out her hand to pick it up.
"Wait a minute." Yihe called to her, and then said to Chen Jingke: "Please take it back, real person, we don't want it."
Everyone was surprised, and Elaine was even more puzzled and said: "Sister..."
Yihe shook his head resolutely and said: "The real man rescued us from the sea of suffering. Even if he is a great virtuous man, we can tie a grass ring around his neck and work as a cow or a horse, but he cannot repay us."
"Not only did you not ask us to repay you, you also gave us the opportunity to write a book and leave our names. If we accepted this deed of betrayal today, how could we have the dignity to behave as human beings?"
Everyone suddenly understood and looked at her with admiration.
Elaine said with shame: "What my sister taught you is that I was wrong."
Chen Jingke was very pleased, but this also made him more determined to return the deed of betrayal to them. He said: "I have said that I am a person who knows rewards and punishments. As long as I have performed meritorious services, I will not be less than a copper coin."
"You still don't know what "Yunzhu" means... I'm telling you this, you will all leave your name in the annals of history because of this book."
"Yu Yun Zhu" is the pinyin version of "Yu Pian" and "Qie Yun". They combined the two books and retyped them, and Chen Jingke gave it this name.
Everyone was naturally excited when they heard that his name was recorded in the history books.
"As long as this book spreads, it will immediately make a sensation all over the world, and I, the editor-in-chief, will also become famous all over the world and gain a huge reputation."
"So it's not that you haven't repaid me, but you have given me enough reward. You deserve these two deeds of sale."
"And you don't want others to underestimate this book because of your lowly status, right?"
After all, Yihe's background was not high, so how could he understand the truth behind it. Hearing that his identity might affect this book, he immediately hesitated.
After thinking again and again, I asked: "Then...if we want it, can we still stay in the temple?"
Obtaining a good title is naturally good, but it also means that you have to bear the obligation to pay taxes alone. This is why many slaves are unwilling to let go.
If you lose your job and can't make money, you can't afford the poll tax, and then you are arrested by the court and do hard labor. The end is worse than being a slave.
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Of course, as long as you are willing, this will always be your home. Don't forget the dictionary we agreed on before. Who will compile it for me when you leave?"
Yihe finally made a decision, but she did not pick it up directly. Instead, she pulled her sister to kneel on the ground and kowtow three times, then raised her hands above her head and said:
"Thank you for the gift from the real person. We sisters hereby swear to be loyal to the real person forever. We are born as people of Zixiaoguan and die as ghosts of Zixiaoguan. If you break this oath, you will not die well."
Chen Jingke put the deed of sale in her hand and said helplessly: "Hey, it doesn't have to be like this. How can I not believe you? Get up soon."
At this point, everyone was happy, and the people around them came forward to congratulate the two.
Subsequently, the two sisters only need to go to the Yamen with the deed of sale and change their household registration to a good registration.
After everyone was happy, Chen Jingke said: "The Yuyun Notes are completed as scheduled. Let's take a good rest for a few days and wait until the Lantern Festival is over before we start writing the dictionary."
Yihe's heart moved and she asked expectantly: "Can we see the fireworks during the Lantern Festival?"
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Yes, and it will be even grander than New Year's Eve."
"That's great." Yihe said happily.
After the matters here were settled, Chen Jingke took a set of "Yun Yun Zhu" and left, going out to the printing shop next door.
At this time, the printing house no longer printed books, but was working hard to produce type blocks. A huge quantity of 200,000 was not so easy to produce.
He went to inquire and found out that it was estimated that it would take another twenty days to complete the project. The reason why it was so fast was because Li Shimin supported a group of craftsmen, otherwise he would not have known that it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
After encouraging everyone, they left and returned to the backyard.
He bumped into Wu Shu on the way, and her expression was a little ugly. Chen Jingke knew that he must have hit a wall again, so he comforted her:
