Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 238 Yuan Bao's Doubt

Said it was a two-day break, but in fact Yuan Bao didn't have much rest. As the "Miss Cousin" who is about to take office, she has bought too many new things.

First of all, it is a separate yard. Although it has been arranged as much as possible, the distance between this yard is still much farther than the house in Ni Yuze’s yard where Yuanbao lives. It is really inconvenient to go to Ni Yuze’s place. Let's move to the Hou's Mansion next year."

There are only two masters in the Hou Mansion, Ni Yuze and Yuan Bao, so the boundary between the inner court and the outer court is blurred.

Yuan Bao asked, "From today, do I really want to live there?" She didn't care where she lived, but was a little worried about Ni Yuze's health.

Ni Yuze said, "No need."

Yuan Bao understood, it was just for show, and her room in Ni Yuze's courtyard was still kept.

After the courtyard is settled, she will serve as servants. When I heard that ten guards, eight first-class maids, sixteen second-class maids, and some rough envoys and mothers in charge have been assigned to her, Yuan Bao pleaded bitterly, "You can't Should it be less? Just save money for me."

Jing Xin told Yuan Bao, "These servants' monthly accounts are all under the account of the Duke of the Hou's Mansion." The ladies in the Ni Mansion don't have first-class maids around them, only the old lady and his wife have them, but Yuan Bao is different. She is the cousin of the Hou Mansion, and there are only two masters in the whole Hou Mansion, she and Ni Yuze.

Yuan Bao shook his head, "Then there are daily rewards!"

This is true, otherwise the servants would not recognize their master.

Jing Ning looked at Ni Yuze, and Yuan Bao quickly came up with another reason, "The servants who are idle are the easiest to cause trouble."

Ni Yuze finally opened his mouth, "Except for the guards, the rest will be halved!"

In fact, Yuan Bao felt that halving was too much, but Ni Yuze probably wouldn't agree, so he didn't say anything more.

The problems of the yard and people were solved relatively quickly. The most troublesome thing was trying on clothes. Yuan Bao's identity had changed, so naturally she could no longer wear the old maid's clothes, so she bought a large number of new clothes, which made her dizzy. Simply cheating, "I see that everything is suitable, there is no need to change it at all, so don't try again!"

Everyone had no choice but to give up.

After lunch, Yuan Bao took a good night's sleep and regained his energy.

Ni Yuze handed her a small box, which contained 1 taels of silver bills and some loose silver taels for the servants' deeds of sale, "I'll treat you as your own, and you will have a monthly bill of 100 taels of silver in the future. Starting from next month, half of the bonus money for your accounts will arrive one after another." It can be said that everything has been thought of for Yuan Bao.

Ni Yuze also bit the word "Tiji" so hard that she almost didn't say directly that she was not allowed to use all the money to supplement the Su family. Ni Yuze made Yuan Bao the adopted daughter of the Yu family for two purposes, one is Give Yuan Bao a home. Didn't Yuan Bao say that the Su family is her home? Well, now Ni Yuze will give Yuan Bao a new home: the Yu family!

Forget it, Ni Yuze, until now, Yuan Bao has only lived in the Su family for four years, so he will spend the same amount of time to make Yuan Bao accept the Yu family, and by then, Yuan Bao will only be twelve or thirteen years old. A lot of things are completely in time.

Secondly, Ni Yuze wants to give Yuan Bao an identity worthy of her own.

In the process of investigating Yuanbao, Ni Yuze also knew Yuanbao's ideal about marriage: to be a regular wife, and her husband would not take concubines.

Ni Yuze understands this harsh condition that many men cannot accept. Not only does he understand, but he also supports it. This has something to do with the family history of the Ni family. It can be said that the damage that Mrs. Ni did to Ni Yuze's grandmother was always the responsibility of the Ni family. A thorn in the hearts of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

To this thorn, Mr. Ni and Mr. Ni and his son adopted completely different methods of resistance. Mr. Ni took more concubines, while Mr. Ni did not take concubines. Although the methods were different, they had the same effect. Mrs. Ni had to marry, but Mr. Ni and Mrs. Yu were in love with each other. Therefore, the father and son were actually "unswervingly loyal" emotionally.

When he came to Ni Yuze, he met Yuan Bao, so he would naturally choose what his father did: only one wife.

The biggest obstacle for Yuan Bao to become Ni Yuze's first wife is actually her identity. Now, Ni Yuze will use his own method to eliminate this obstacle.

However, Yuan Bao turned a deaf ear to Ni Yuze's meaningful advice, and just held the box Ni Yuze gave him in a daze. Ni Yuze couldn't help but frowned, "Yuan Bao, what's the matter? But you think the money is not enough?!"

"Ah? Ah!" Yuan Bao raised his head stupidly, "What did you say just now?"

Ni Yuze repeated it patiently.

Yuan Bao looked Ni Yuze up and down, as if he wanted to see flowers on Ni Yuze's face. After a while, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Ni Yuze, what is your idea of ​​making me the adopted daughter of the Yu family?" Sometimes?"

Ni Yuze thought about it, and did not hide Yuan Bao's words, "After Su Chunsheng left." Knowing that Yuan Bao had decided to stay, Ni Yuze began a series of thinking and arrangements.

After listening to Ni Yuze's words, Yuan Bao seemed to have seen a ghost. Ni Yuze had a feeling that Yuan Bao would run away in the next moment, but he was pulled by some force, so he persisted.

Ni Yuze couldn't help but reached out and grabbed Yuan Bao, and asked softly, "Yuan Bao, what's wrong with you? Tell me what happened, let's discuss it together, and you know that there is nothing I can't solve."

Yuan Bao almost didn't cry, Ni Yuze really can't solve this matter - the money Ni Yuze gave her just now is not counted as income in the special ability!

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened to Yuan Bao. Yuan Bao remembers that it happened about the year before last. Starting from a certain item, the things Ni Xiaopang gave her were suddenly not counted as income. It was because Ni Xiaopang's feelings for her had changed, so Yuan Bao didn't find it strange.

Ni Yuze's words also confirmed Yuan Bao's guess. Yuan Bao remembered that on the night of Su Chunsheng's birth, the gifts Ni Yuze gave to the Su family and the four guards were still counted as her income at that time.

It's one thing not to feel strange, but another thing not to feel scared. It was because she knew the reason why Yuan Bao felt even more terrifying—in order to avoid the Ni family in Qing'an County, she went to Ningnan Mansion to seek Ni Yuze. If she encounters the same trouble with Ni Yuze, who should she go to?
Ni Yuze, Yu Zehou, do you want her to go to the emperor? !
Yuan Bao's first thought was to run away, taking advantage of Ni Yuze's still not deep feelings for her, and he didn't even realize his feelings for her, so he quickly ran away!But where could she escape to?If Ni Yuze really wanted to, could she escape? !
Thinking about it again, she hesitated for so long, made such a sacrifice, and finally found such a unique top "collaborator" as Ni Yuze, should she just give up like this?Her ideal, the stage for her to display her talent!
At this moment, Yuan Bao understood Ni Yuze's feelings when he was forced to give up building the treasure ship. His heart was almost tangled up like dumpling stuffing!
Yuan Bao summoned up all his courage and asked in a fluttering voice, "Ni Yuze, you...what were you thinking when you decided to give me these things?"

Ni Yuze is a very sensitive person, and Yuan Bao's behavior is so obvious now that he can clearly feel that this answer is very important to Yuan Bao. If one is not careful, Yuan Bao will probably run away because of it , and he himself also lost everything, he quickly summed up in his mind, carefully considering every word.

Ni Yuze said, "Yuanbao, I just want to give you a home and not let you be alone anymore. If you say you don't want to be a slave, I will let you be a lady. With such an identity, you can achieve it." Your ideal, don't always worry about being manipulated by others!"

Yuan Bao's expression softened a lot. Ni Yuze knew that he had guessed right, and continued to encourage him, "Even if you get married in the future, I want you to have a family you can rely on!"

Yuan Bao exhaled lightly, her face turned red, but she still wasn't completely relieved, so she asked again, "Then after I become the young lady of the Yu family, in your heart, who am I to you? "

Ni Yuze said slowly, "Cousin!"

Yuan Bao's eyebrows were twisted into a big pimple, and she repeated dumbly, "Cousin..." She always felt that there was something wrong with it, but she couldn't grasp it for a while.

"You also know that I don't have any direct siblings, so my cousin, my cousin, is my closest person. As for my cousin, I have such a relationship with the Ni Mansion, how can we get close... ..." Ni Yuze felt that he had spoken well, but he found that when he mentioned the word "cousin", Yuan Bao's face suddenly turned pale.

Yuan Bao finally figured out what she felt was wrong just now. If Ni Yuze simply wanted to give her an identity, then why not let her be the adopted daughter of the Ni Mansion?Although in terms of blood relationship, cousins ​​and cousins ​​are very close, but in this era, cousins ​​can get married, but cousins ​​are not!

No, Yuan Bao felt that this adopted daughter of the Yu Mansion would definitely not be able to do it. If she wanted to, she would be the Ni Manor's. If Ni Yuze had no excessive ideas, she would definitely agree!
Yuan Bao was about to open his mouth to make his request, but Jing Ning had already reported, "Master, the second lady is here, and she said it was a congratulatory gift for Miss Biao."

Yuan Bao was stunned, and Ni Yuze had stood up, "Let's go, go see the guest first, and come back if you have anything to say."

Yuan Bao had no choice but to go with him.

"Mother is seeing guests. There are a lot of things in the house during the year, and my younger siblings are busy, so I took care of all the errands that put gold on my face." In the main hall, the second lady laughed and said to Yan Yan, and took out three congratulatory gifts. They are all head jewelry, but the price is different, the old lady's is naturally the most expensive, the second lady's is slightly less expensive, and the third lady's is the worst. This is also the rule of gift giving, and you can't go over people who are higher than yourself.

At first glance, these things were not carefully prepared, but were brought to suit the occasion. Ni Yuze is still living in the Ni Mansion, and once he said that he would set up a separate yard for Yuan Bao, the newly baked cousin, and the second wife, the head wife who presided over Zhongfu, You can no longer pretend to be ignorant.

The old lady had a really stiff fight with Ni Yuze a while ago, and she was afraid that Ni Yuze would embarrass her when she came here. You must know that in the past, Ni Yuze never gave face to the people of the Ni family, regardless of his predecessors or his descendants.

The people in the third room now see Ni Yuze more like a mouse seeing a cat, they can hide as far as they can, so only the second room, who seems to have a good relationship with Ni Yuze, has come forward.

Yuan Bao got up to thank her and saluted as a junior, and the moment she took the things, she was stunned again.

In the past, when Yuan Bao was a maid, these masters and masters rewarded her a lot for the sake of Ni Yuze's face. Ni's mansion and Yu's mansion all had them. Now, this gift is the same as what Ni Yuze gave her just now, and it is no longer counted as income. up.

This completely confused Yuan Bao, could it be that she was thinking too much?In fact, the change of abilities was only caused by the change of her identity?

If Yuan Bao was just confused at this time, then on the next day, when all the congratulatory gifts given to her by everyone in the Yu Mansion were no longer counted as her income, she had completely accepted this idea.

The second lady took Yuan Bao's hand affectionately, "Oh, this Yuan Bao is more and more painful the more you look at it, the face is full of blessings, no wonder it can save our young master!"

Yuan Bao saved Ni Yuze's life through a special method. This was Ni Yuze's reason for asking Yu's family to accept Yuan Bao as a righteous daughter. No one doubted this.

Facts speak louder than words. After being served by Yuan Bao close to Ni Yuze, his health improved day by day. Whether it is doctors or servants, there are too many people who can prove it.

"Say, such a good child, not to mention the Yu Mansion, even our Ni Mansion is eager to recognize him!" The second lady conveyed the old lady and herself.

The Yu House and the Ni House have been fighting over Ni Yuze for a long time. Not to mention the cousin Yuan Bao, even a slightly embarrassing servant next to Ni Yuze, they are all the targets they strive for, and they will definitely spare no effort.

After Yuan Bao paused, he had a sense, and immediately cast his soliciting and eager eyes on Ni Yuze, making Ni Yuze understand immediately what Yuan Bao wanted to say just now.

Fortunately, Yuan Bao hadn't had time to say it yet, so let's make Yuan Bao's request unspoken again, Ni Yuze thought, and said in a low tone, "The Ni mansion is very popular." Mr. Ni's generation has several sons, and when they arrive There are more than a dozen of Ni Yuze's generation, and the number is still increasing, "I don't want to go to the graves of my grandfather, mother and uncle alone every year." But in this room of the Yu family, only Ni Yuze is left alone. up!
"Yuanbao," Ni Yuze said sadly, with sparkles in his eyes. This is definitely not pretending, but from the heart, "From this year onwards, you will fulfill your filial piety with me. If there is a year when I go out, If you don't have time to come back, you have to go alone, and you must not let the grass on the graves of your ancestors be desolate."

Yuan Bao almost didn't shed tears. She understood that the situation Ni Yuze said was inevitable. He managed such a large family business by himself, it was like a business empire, how busy he was?In addition, he still has the dream of going to sea, which is not only risky, but also has an unpredictable return date!

At this time, Yuan Bao blamed herself a little. When she mentioned being the adoptive daughter of the Yu family, the first thing she thought of was whether she would be restrained, followed by income and emotional entanglements. Why didn't she think that, in fact, this is still a kind of responsibility!
Yuan Bao nodded involuntarily, "I've made a note, I will definitely do it!" That's how he made a very solemn promise.

Later facts proved that Yuan Bao kept his word. From this year on, no matter how busy he was, Yuan Bao would go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors every year until the day when Yu’s descendants were full. From this point of view, Ni Yuze really did it Give Yuan Bao a home.

The second lady was a little embarrassed, "The young master is indeed a filial person, so it's better..." At this point, I don't know what came to mind, she suddenly stopped, pulled up Yuanbao and praised her for a long time, then got up and said goodbye.

After the second lady left, Yuan Bao asked curiously, "What did the second lady want to say?"

What the Second Madam wanted to say was that it would be better to just accept a foster son, not only to be filial, but also to help the Yu family continue the incense, and she immediately thought that the adopted son could not only continue the incense, but also divide the family property , As for how much you can get, it depends entirely on the acceptance of the clan. If the acceptance is high, the adopted son can even get more than the bastard.

Moreover, Ni Yuze recognized the children of his deceased uncle, that is to say, as long as they recognize them, they will become relatives of the emperor and cousins ​​of the current emperor. From the perspective of kinship, this future cousin of the Yu family , once recognized by the Yu family and the emperor, he is actually more entitled to enjoy the property of the Yu family than Ni Yuze. After all, Ni Yuze is actually surnamed Ni!

If the news was released, not to mention the Yu family would have to fight to the death, even the Ni family and Ni Yuze would definitely not agree, because their most fundamental position had been shaken.

In contrast, righteous daughters are different, not to mention righteous daughters, even legitimate daughters, and then it will be just a dowry to marry off. As for the amount of dowry, it is entirely up to Ni Yuze, the head of the family, to decide. In particular, Yuan Bao, the adopted daughter, was recognized by Uncle Ni Yuze after his death, and the degree of recognition is simply impossible to be high, so everything is actually still under Ni Yuze's control.

Ni Yuze sneered, "Actually, my title should be granted, but the emperor wants to grant it!"

Ni Yuze's uncle also has a title, which was granted by the previous emperor after Yu Xiaomei entered the palace. Now that he has recognized Ni Yuze's identity as the heir of the Yu family, he should also pass on the title of the Yu family to Ni Yuze, and cut it according to the current dynasty's title. Ni Yuze should also be a "Marquis", but the emperor didn't, but conferred Ni Yuze another title, but not higher than the Marquis. Not only did the Yu family's past achievements be obliterated, but in terms of meritorious deeds, rewards would be Ni Yuze complained because he lowered his title.

Yuan Bao persuaded, "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, you should know how to be grateful!"

"Okay," Ni Yuze nodded, "I'll submit a booklet to seal it for you later, so that you can also feel the majesty of the emperor's grace, and I hope you can serve the country faithfully!"

Yuan Bao's eyes widened suddenly, "If the emperor agrees..." Didn't she fly up a branch and become a phoenix all of a sudden?Can't help asking, "Then what kind of title should I co-author?"
