Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 232 Surprising Words About Marriage
And in order to get more rent, Ni Yuze even rents out the sailors and guards together, which means that if Ni Yuze's boat is rented, the merchants can go further afield and share markets that they have never owned before. This kind of temptation is simply too great!
With a "collaborator" like Ni Yuze, Yuan Bao feels that she doesn't care about any difficulties, and the future is full of hope.

The days with things to do went by very quickly. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since Yuan Bao fell out of favor. On this day, Yuan Bao just woke up from a nap, and the little girl came to report, "Miss Yuan Bao, someone wants to see you."

Yuan Bao tidied up her clothes and went out, guessing who was coming. It was the first time that a man from the outer courtyard wanted to see her. The first thing she thought of was that Ni Xiaopang had been away for more than 20 days, would it be possible? Did Qing'an County send someone to report safety?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace a little.

Su Chunsheng sat firmly on the stool, smiled and talked to a steward of the outer courtyard of the Ni Mansion with uninspiring greetings, trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

After Ni Xiaopang returned to Qing'an County, he didn't even return home, so he went to Sujia Village to meet Su Chunsheng. It made Su Chunsheng worry, even Su Chunsheng could tell that Ni Xiaopang was provocative, and he knew that the door of Ni's house in Fucheng was not so well-established, but he still couldn't control his longing for Yuanbao, and braved the wind. Xue rushed over quickly.

The worry along the way turned into an even weirder feeling after visiting Ni Mansion.

Originally, Su Chunsheng was prepared to be turned away, and he also asked Ni Xiaopang for the names of a few servants of the Ni family who were familiar with Ni Xiaopang. It's been a long time, but the attitude of the people in the Ni Mansion towards him is unusually warm, as if what he asked to see was not just a maidservant, but a young lady.

Ni Xiaopang's words resounded in Su Chunsheng's mind again, "Yuanbao is so powerful now, the young master is obedient to her, not like a subordinate at all, even the masters in Ni's mansion have to treat her Be respectful, let me see, but no one is willing to come back to this poor country again."

The maids of big families are incomparable to the maids of ordinary and small families. Of course, Su Chunsheng knows this, especially for people like the Ni Mansion. The so-called "small people" refers to Qing'an A family like the Ni family, not a rural family like the Su family, so Yuan Bao will not want to come back like what Ni Xiaopang said?
No, Yuan Bao won't, she didn't come back with Ni Xiaopang, she must have encountered some kind of trouble, just because of such doubts, Su Chunsheng came here in a hurry, no matter what kind of trouble Yuan Bao encountered, he had to face it. No matter how irresistible an opponent is, Su Chunsheng is willing to face it with Yuan Bao.

As for Ni Xiaopang's statement that the son relied on Yuan Bao to serve the decoction, Su Chunsheng did not believe it. Su Chunsheng still knew whether Yuan Bao knew medical skills.

But when he got here, after enjoying the treatment of Ni's mansion, Su Chunsheng's heart was not so sure.

"Girl Yuanbao has arrived." A young man entered the door and replied.

Su Chunsheng couldn't help standing up eagerly. Fortunately, the manager of the Ni Mansion who was with Su Chunsheng also got up, and went to the door to greet Yuanbao, but it didn't seem that Su Chunsheng's movements were so abrupt.

A warm sedan chair walked tremblingly along the cobblestone road in the mansion, not in a hurry, and beside the sedan chair were two little maidservants.

At the gate of the courtyard, the sedan chair stopped, and the little servant girl lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and stretched out her hand to help out a little girl. Yuan Bao was wrapped in a satin cloak embroidered all over the place, only a two-inch-wide skirt was exposed. , but even this narrow skirt can make people see that the skirt is not only made of high-quality materials, but also brand new.

Yuan Bao is wearing a common double bun, with two bead flowers embedded in the bun. Although the beads are only the size of a bean, they are round and even in size, and each one is pink, which looks expensive. The long ribbons made of braids fluttered beside her cheeks, adding a bit of liveliness and beauty to her.

Su Chunsheng found that Yuan Bao had grown a lot taller after only half a year without seeing him, but he was also thin, the baby fat on his face was almost gone, his small chin was pointed, and his whole body was even more majestic. It's not the same, forcibly drawing a gully invisible to the eyes between the two.

Su Chunsheng couldn't help clenching his fists. Even if he was as calm as him, he couldn't help being nervous at this moment. The thoughts in his heart turned into a deep sourness. He didn't know how to express it. If Yuan Bao refused to go back with him, what would he do? ?If Yuan Bao blamed him for being troublesome, what would he do?
"Miss Yuanbao—" The steward beside Su Chunsheng had already greeted her warmly, but Su Chunsheng seemed to be immobilized as if he had been immobilized by someone. Perhaps this is what Jin Xiangqing was talking about!

Yuan Bao didn't know the steward from the outer court, but judging from his clothes, he was just a third-class steward, so he just smiled and nodded reservedly, intending to ask who wanted to see her, when suddenly he looked at her from the corner of his eye. Seeing the dreamy figure standing in the middle of the small courtyard, he couldn't help but stand on the spot, and opened his mouth slightly.

The four eyes met each other, each was crystal clear, so many thoughts and worries gathered in his chest, Yuan Bao felt that it became difficult to breathe.

Yuan Bao lifted the hem of his skirt and ran towards Su Chunsheng. It wasn't until he took Su Chunsheng's hand that he realized that they had nowhere to go. Then he turned around and asked the steward, "Is there someone else in this waiting room?"

The little steward quickly apologized, "No one, no one, Miss Yuan Bao will take care of herself."

Yuan Bao first signaled to his maids for a reward, and then told them, "Stay at the door and don't allow anyone to come in." Pulling Su Chunsheng, he ran into the house.

A servant girl was anxious, "Girl, this is not in compliance with the rules." Although they are maids, they are very particular, and they are not allowed to come casually in this outer courtyard on weekdays. absolutely impossible.

Yuan Bao turned a deaf ear to it, but Su Chunsheng's footsteps paused, but Su Chunsheng still chose to listen to Yuan Bao. In the end, it was a little maid standing outside, and the other stood at the door of the house with her head bowed.

As soon as he entered the room, Yuan Bao didn't even have time to untie his cloak, so he jumped into Su Chunsheng's arms, wrapped his legs around Su Chunsheng's waist, buried his face in his neck, and the rolling tears wet Su Chunsheng. Chunsheng's skin, murmured, "Chunsheng, Chunsheng, I really didn't expect you to come to see me, I miss you so much!" Knowing that, it turned out that her longing for Su Chunsheng's home was so strong that it almost overwhelmed her, and she felt that she couldn't bear it for another moment.

At this moment, all the uneasiness in Su Chunsheng's heart turned into tenderness. He hugged Yuan Bao tightly, "Yuan Bao, why don't you go home? The fifth young master of the Ni family has gone back, why don't you go back? Why are you so thin?" With so much, how are you doing? Are the people in the mansion treating you well?"

Yuan Bao didn't even raise her head, she was afraid that once she let go of this person, she would lose her strong and generous embrace, "I'm fine, why did you come here suddenly? What's the matter at home? Are Qiu Sheng and An Ranran okay?" ?”

"Okay, everything is fine, I just don't trust you..." Su Chunsheng's voice was choked, "What's the matter at home? There is no shortage of money, and no one dares to provoke it. The harvest in the fields this year is also good. You Still can't believe me?!" Yuan Bao was desperately opening the way outside, if he couldn't even manage his family well, he wouldn't have to live, he was so ashamed, so he had to tell the real reason for coming this time, "On the contrary, it's you... I Seeing that you didn't come back with the fifth young master, I feel very upset, how can I sit still?!"

Yuan Bao nodded, that is indeed the case, the news that she and Ni Xiaopang got Ni Yuze's care has long been spread, not only Ni Xiaopang, but also her, no one dares to provoke her, everything in the Su family has been going smoothly for a long time. As expected.After all, Ni Yuze is really kind to her, and he is indeed a perfect master!
Yuan Bao lowered his head and sighed softly, "Idiot, didn't I write you a letter? It's cold, what are you doing here? I'll go back after I've been busy for a while." Even so, her tone But there is only sweetness and no blame.

Yuan Bao looked at Su Chunsheng affectionately, and slid his hands over Su Chunsheng's face and shoulders one by one. After not seeing him for a few months, Su Chun grew taller, not only taller, but also burlier. Ning is steady and unwavering, his shoulders are thick, his waist is tight and strong, he probably has been practicing martial arts for a while, and now the effect is showing.

I don't know if it's because of the wind and sun on the road, or because of the frequent hard work at home, Su Chunsheng's skin color has become darker, it is no longer fair as before, but has become a light wheat color, which makes him look He became healthier, and his originally handsome face became more mature and three-dimensional. In addition to the previous strong bookishness and calmness, he also added a little bit of fortitude and maturity.

Yuan Bao suddenly called softly, "Ah, what's wrong with your hands? Do you want to go to farm yourself?" Su Chunsheng's palms and fingers were covered with calluses of all sizes, as if he had done a lot of rough work , and he had frostbite on the back of his hand, and now it was cracked, and traces of blood seeped out, which made Yuan Bao doubt what Su Chunsheng said just now.

Su Chunsheng explained, "We've already started to learn weapons. When we came here, we were in a hurry. I was afraid that the carriage would be delayed on the way, so I just brought people here on horseback. I didn't pay much attention."

Yuan Bao's heart softened, and he told the little girl, "I remember that when I made that new cloak last time, there were still some fox fur leftovers, go and get them, and my sewing basket."

Gloves are also used in this era, but it’s just an oblong tube with two hands inserted into it. Such gloves can’t hold the reins at all. They are the five-fingered gloves of later generations. If they are thick, it will be inconvenient to ride a horse. If they are thin , also does not work.

Yuan Bao planned to sew trumpet-shaped fox fur on Su Chunsheng's sleeves. The fur on the back of the hand is very long and can completely cover the skin on the back of the hand. The palm part is empty and does not affect the movement at all. Simple but functional.

Su Chunsheng asked again about the return date of Yuanbao.

Yuan Bao said vaguely, "I haven't finished my errands." It's not that she doesn't trust Su Chunsheng, but Ni Yuze's matter is really hard to say.

Su Chunsheng couldn't ask any more questions, but his heart was in a ball because of this. He really couldn't think of any errands that little Yuan Bao could do but others couldn't. Could it be that Yuan Bao came up with some way to make money up?
But Ni Xiaopang also said that the Ni Mansion may lack a lot of things, but it is not short of silver, especially the "eggshell embroidery" that Yuan Bao made last time, and the Ni Mansion didn't pay attention at all.

Just now when he helped Yuan Bao take off his cloak, he found out that Yuan Bao's cloak was made of fox fur. They couldn't afford such a cloak given their current family circumstances. You must know that Yuan Bao was still a child, and his stature kept growing. So much silver is used to make one, and it won't last for two years at most. It's really a waste, but Yuan Bao's words imply that she has more than one such cloak.

Su Chunsheng took another look at the little girl standing by the door, and found that although the little girl was also wearing a satin embroidered leather jacket, it was the same as his own. It was made of sheepskin, with only the collar and cuffs The fur is inlaid with fox fur, and the jacket looks a bit old. Although it has a new jacket face, it is definitely not new this year. Of course, this kind of clothing is also quite good, at least with him This "young master" in the eyes of others is comparable, and it is not comparable to the first-class maid of the Ni family in Qing'an.

Thinking about Yuan Bao's attitude towards the steward and the little girl after he arrived at the Ni Mansion, as well as Ni Xiaopang's rhetoric and various details, Su Chunsheng once again became convinced that Yuan Bao was definitely not an ordinary servant in the Ni Mansion. , not to mention that he didn't receive any abuse, this kind of knowledge made Su Chunsheng feel at ease, and at the same time, his mind turned rapidly.

Yuan Bao asked Su Chunsheng about the situation along the way, and Su Chunsheng answered one by one, "I live in an inn in the inner city. It's a good inn. Although I didn't live in a room, I lived in a second-class room. It's not for saving money." I want to live with them, but they are traveling for the first time and have little experience, so I’d better keep them all by my side.”

"In addition to Qingshan, Qinghe and I brought four long-term workers, all of whom have also practiced martial arts with Uncle Liang. In addition, when I heard that I was coming, the fifth young master lent me the two guards who came from Fucheng to escort the gifts. Nope, these two guards were given to him by the young master, although they haven’t had the chance to see their skills yet, they are very familiar with the roads along the way, and they borrowed a lot of strength!" Especially sleeping in the wild Su Chunsheng and the people around him learned a lot from these two people.

Yuan Bao paused with his sewing hand, "I don't worry about that, you must not try the skills of those two guards, they are very powerful, and they are definitely not comparable to people like Uncle Liang, you just need to treat them better That's enough!" He lowered his head and thought for a while, "Well, I'll talk to you later, see if I can get some of these guards for you, not only when I go home this time, but also in the future. , and you can learn Kung Fu from them..." Yuan Bao became more and more excited as he talked.

Su Chunsheng hurriedly stopped him, "Don't you, such a guard is so precious, how can you say you want it?!"

Yuan Bao wrinkled his nose indifferently, "You don't need to worry about it, I know what I know." She even wanted her teacher to come, and she will go to Sujia Village after the Chinese New Year, so it should be fine if she needs a guard.

Su Chunsheng couldn't persuade him anymore, but his expression darkened.

Yuan Bao buried her head in needlework. She could feel Su Chunsheng's strangeness, but she couldn't explain it. Ni Yuze had too many secrets. If she was not careful, she would break a taboo and easily bring trouble to Su Chunsheng and the Su family. The atmosphere here became dull.

Suddenly Su Chunsheng said, "Yuan Bao, let's get married as soon as possible!"

Yuan Bao was taken aback for a moment, then rejoiced, and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay!" Yes, there is no obstacle to her marriage with Su Chunsheng now, if they get married, not only will she be able to do things in the Su family in a legitimate way Even if the children of the Su family use her money in the future, others will say something, let alone mention any rules or irregularities when she and Su Chunsheng are together.

Besides, in the current Sujia Village, the Su family still lives in three places, although they are all not far apart, after all, it is not a long-term solution. If they get married, this problem can be solved.

However, if she gets married, she has to go home. If she leaves for a short time, will Ni Yuze agree?Yuan Bao intends to ask.

Looking at Yuan Bao's clear and affectionate eyes, Su Chunsheng suddenly felt a little ashamed. His Yuan Bao hadn't changed, and he shouldn't doubt Yuan Bao's feelings for him and his family. His heart became unstable, now Su Chunsheng seemed to understand Ni Xiaopang's feelings, but Su Chunsheng was not Ni Xiaopang, no matter what barriers had arisen between him and Yuan Bao, he would clear them one by one.

Yuan Bao told Su Chunsheng, "It doesn't matter what other people say about me. Only the young master can decide, and if you ask to see the young master, the young master will not meet..." Su Chunsheng's status is too low, if it weren't for him It was Yuan Bao who was asking for an interview, and I am afraid that no one else would give the report, "You wait a little bit, I will reply to you tomorrow when I go back to see the young master tonight."

This arrangement is reasonable and appropriate, Su Chunsheng nodded.

It took another quarter of an hour to finish sewing Yuanbao, and checked Su Chunsheng's clothes again, and found that they were thick enough, and he also specially wore knee pads, etc., so he felt relieved.

The sky had already darkened, Su Chunsheng planned to say goodbye and leave, to be honest, he really didn't expect to meet Yuan Bao so smoothly and stay together for such a long time, "I have to go back."

Yuan Bao was very dissatisfied, she was unwilling to leave Su Chunsheng for a moment now, she thought for a while and said, "I'll send someone back to ask if I can go out of the house to have dinner with you..." If I could stay outside for one night It would be even better, but thinking of asking to see Ni Yuze tonight, I held back.
