Chapter 14-Hard earned money

Everyone was paid according to their rank and seniority .When Yin Yue's time came, she received three pieces of silver.*Taking them she left the place.

In her previous self,she didn't even get to see these pieces of silver although she knew that there is this smallest,basic unit of money because they always dealt with silver and gold coins.She experienced a totally new side of the society and her life ,collecting her salary for the work.

After getting paid,she thought of visiting (uncle)Wang Wei because it was a day off too.After reaching the stable complex ,she informed her arrival to Wang Wei through a guard .Wang Wei came to escort Yin Yue in.

He could see that Yin Yue had become thinner and pallor than before in this one week's time.He was so sorry and hurt to see the little hands of her filled with bruises and cuts.He even suggested Yin Yue to withdraw herself and follow another method.But Yin Yue was firm in her decision.She reassured Wang Wei, saying that those scars and tiredness was nothing and ask for his continuous cooperation .

Therefore forgetting about that,Wang Wei took his nephew a tour around his work place.As the incharge of horse training center,his working schedule was an adjustable one.Hence ,he took his nephew out for a meal.

They went to the inn which was familiar to them and ordered a delicious meal. After finishing the meal,they took a stroll around the city.

Because he had examined the city before,Wang Wei knew about all the important places in city and most of the beautiful places which worth seeing .

The city's nothern side ended to a mountain area while western side's end was marked by the river Hwa.That was used as a natural protection to the city.Beyond the city ,the forest started and spred for a long distance .

Pu nam city was situated in West to the capital.

They walked around the riverside.While walking,Wang Wei presented an idea ,came to his mind.

"Young miss,I think it is better for you to start your practicing .Now that miss is familiar with this new life style,the sooner you start your practice,that would be better.'

Yin Yue accepted the idea appreciatively .Then they started to decide their schedule .

There were military training schools and educational academies,as well as famous masters who taught students throughout the empire, but most of them were for high class families of the socity ,not for commoners .

Common people who were recruited to military service when they became fourteen years old,normally had a basic separate training when they joined and they were not trained in the previous mentioned military schools or by those masters .

As for other commoners' normal education ,they got their education through their family elders and some knowledgeable people who were willing to educate them.It was rare for commoners to get a proper education through an academy or a through a proper teacher. It was not prohibited for commoners to get military training or education .But it was not allowed either and anyone rarely dared to violate the tradition.

As she was appearing as a humble servant of a noble family ,Yin Yue did not want to get any unnecessary attention by violating these traditions.Therefore it was not possible for Yin Yue to join those schools and It was not possible for her to practice publicly either.

Therefore they planned to practice at an isolated place near the riverside.Because she did not know even the basics of military skills,Wang Wei himself was going to teach her until she masters everything he knew.As for the time to practice ,they decided to use her day off for teachings and learning and for practicing ,to use whatever time she get free but without alerting others.
