Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 320 What Should Come Always Come

This is a very common gathering. Several ladies from the official family gathered in the big warm pavilion, talking insincerely but with their own purposes. Of course, there are indeed people among them who can make friends. Yuan Bao does not want to deny this , but because of her soul, she is not willing to deal with these real girls.

"County Master Huiqiao." Qin Ruyu greeted, and sat down beside Yuan Bao, looking like she really wanted to talk, with a gentle smile on her beautiful face, which was not annoying.

Yuan Bao nodded, "Miss Qin, I haven't seen her radiant face for a few days, and the clothes are very beautiful today." When girls are together, clothes and jewelry are the safest topics.

"Hehe," Qin Ruyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Is the magistrate praising me, or is he praising his clothes?" The chief designer of "Neon Clothes".

Yuan Bao was a little surprised, "This is also the new look of neon clothes? I really didn't design them, but you really look good in them." The designer team of neon clothes is getting bigger and bigger, and because Yuan Bao has been busy with the three-dimensional painting for the past three years. , so there are very few design drawings for neon clothes, and there are many new styles of neon clothes that were not designed by Yuan Bao, and she doesn't know how many new styles of neon clothes have been released.

With such a pleasant opening remark, the next conversation between the two went very smoothly, and attracted many people. For a while, they laughed and talked about Yan Yan, but it was lively, and even many young ladies from the general's family also participated. In fact, Yuan Bao himself I still like the family members of generals, most of them are upright, hearty and generous, with likes and dislikes on their faces, without so many twists and turns and bad rules.

Generally speaking, the family members of civil servants and generals have relatively little contact with each other. Since the time of the first emperor, they have been as distinct as the latitude and longitude. "Emperor" not only refers to the former emperor, but also refers to the current emperor. Yuan Bao guesses that this is the so-called "emperor's mind"!

Yuan Bao's current social circle is basically introduced by the Su brothers, so he seldom gets in touch with the general's family.

Today is a special case, because Yuan Bao is visiting relatives.

The Yongguo Mansion that Yuan Bao came to today is the natal family of Mrs. Ni in Nanning Prefecture, whose surname is Qin. However, the so-called Yongguo Mansion no longer exists. The Qin family not only moved out of the imperial city, but also moved into the capital. In the city, even the current head of the family only has the title of earl, how can it be called the Duke's Mansion? !The only mansion in the capital that can be called a real Duke's mansion is Ni Yuze's Yuguo Mansion, and no one lives in it.

But that's it, no one laughed at them, because this is already very good. The first emperor lived a long life. During his lifetime, three empresses died, and the prince died four. At that time, there was not a single one left, and Duke Yong died too late. When Duke Yong’s son was born, he became a "Hou". Born by mother, Mrs. Ni was a concubine again. At that time, the Ni family was still down and out, so the relationship between them can be imagined.

Now that Ni Yuze, the descendant of the Ni family, has been promoted, and they are all in Beijing, the descendants of the Yongguo Mansion naturally flatter him in every possible way. Ni Yuze sent Yuan Bao, the cousin, to make up for it because of his bad sympathy.

The Duke of Yongguo started his family with martial arts, and according to the rule of beheading the third Lord of the dynasty, the current earl is the last honorable man, so his children naturally have to participate in martial arts to find a way out. Fortunately, these children They are quite capable, and a few of them have really become officials, so most of the people gathered at this house today are family members of generals.

In terms of seniority, the Earl Qin is Ni Yuze's cousin, and the masters of the Earl's Mansion are of the same generation as Ni Yuze and Yuan Bao. Misses like Qin Ruyu are actually a generation shorter than Yuan Bao, but Yuan Bao is younger. The family background is not high, and the personality is peaceful, so when everyone is together, they interact according to the same generation.

For some reason, the topic turned around to Yuan Bao's life experience. Yuan Bao smiled and did not hide anything. She also told all the things-since these things can't be hidden from anyone, why should she lie? !Besides, she now wishes to have a closer relationship with the Su family!

Originally, it was nothing, Yuan Bao said it frankly, and everyone was stunned, but Qin Ruyu asked so seriously, so Yuan Bao had to think more, of course, some things can be guessed without thinking.

"Does the county lord know General Song?" Qin Ruyu looked at Yuan Bao and asked, not letting go of the expression on Yuan Bao's face.

Yuan Bao knew who it was, but he still shook his head. This Qin Ruyu was not a lady from the Earl's Mansion. Although she was also surnamed Qin, she was only a side branch of the Qin family. Her father's official position was not high. It is normal for the Song family to use it as a gunman.

Qin Ruyu said hastily, "It's the family of General Song Chengye, Captain of the Cavalry. Their family lost a young lady..."

But just as Qin Ruyu started, she was interrupted by Yuan Bao, who let out a short exclamation, "Ah?! What?! It turned out to be the Song family. How could their lady be lost again?!"

Qin Ruyu paused, and asked in surprise, "What is 'again'? The county master already knows about this? There are three ladies in the Song family, and now there are two left, only one is missing..." She She's just a 13-year-old girl, she doesn't have too many eyes, and she is very confused.

"This... this..." Yuan Bao covered his mouth, his big eyes rolled around, and found that all the ladies were attracted by her words, so he hurriedly said in a panic, "Well, you entered last year. On the way to Beijing, my cousin and I met this family member of General Song. Mrs. Song’s surname is Luo, and she specially asked my cousin to live in the same inn as us, and then... Then the second lady of their family, listen Anyone who says her boudoir name is Song Xinyue, just...throw...throw it away!"

Yuan Bao babbled, the blush on his face became more and more serious, and finally he stopped talking, pretending to be a big sister who knew him well, and took Qin Ruyu's hand and told him, "At that time, this matter happened in the county town. Not to mention how sensational it is." By the way, he kindly mentioned the name of the county seat, "It didn't take long at all, but anyone who is interested will know about it once he asks about it."

Yuan Bao patted Qin Ruyu's hand lightly, "My cousin has told me thousands of times to stay away from the Song family and the female family members of the Song family. No matter what happens to their family, don't get involved. It's best Don't even listen to it, be careful not to dirty your ears, let alone pass it on. Cousin must have a reason for saying this. Now I think our sisters get along well, so I tell you this. You must Write it down!" How candid and honest, how pure and kind, that way, Yuan Bao discovered for the first time that he still has the talent for acting.

Qin Ruyu was at a loss when he heard it, and looked at Yuan Bao and could only nod foolishly.

Yuan Bao secretly smiled inwardly, gossip is an irresistible temptation in any era, especially such a pink legend, she believes that if she "instructs" Qin Ruyu in front of so many young ladies, she will definitely be caught by someone who cares After listening to it, when the time comes, the Song family's matter will be covered even if you want to.

The Song family can publicize that she lost it because she was too young when she lost it, and she couldn't relate to others, but Song Xinyue is different. Many families who want to face, such an old girl, will go to great lengths after losing a girl. They cover it up schemingly, and even send them to the temple directly, so as not to spoil the reputation of the other women in the family.

It seems that Cai Yuanbao didn’t say anything in what he said just now, but he pointed out the key points: time, place, person, and even things like staying in an inn.

"Hmph," Yuan Bao sneered in his heart, "Song family, since you are greedy, don't be afraid of losing money! Are you afraid of breaking your teeth if you want to swallow my money? And that Song Xinzhu is always behind your back Do you think you are the second prince for these methods that are not on the table?!"

Yuan Bao just found out that those ladies who were listening to Qin Ruyu chatting with her didn't show any surprise expressions when they heard that Song Chengye's family had lost a lady. It can be seen that the Song family had already separated Yuan Bao and Song I have spared no effort to spread the word about the family relationship. If Yuan Bao denies it today, I don’t know how people outside will spread it. In short, it is either "wealthy and forgetful" or "unfilial and unrighteous". Anyway, it will not be a good word. Enthusiastic people came to persuade, and Yuan Bao was even more upset.

Coincidentally, Yuan Bao used such a method of "a lot of money" to make her ignoring the Song family very reasonable, and even blackmailed the Song family. I really don't know how the Song family will vomit blood!
"Hmph," Yuan Bao said with delight in his heart, "Chunsheng's idea is really good, I have to reward him well in the future!"

The matter was in the middle of the conversation, the master came to invite all the ladies to a banquet, because Yuan Bao was very high in status and seniority, so he was invited to the chairman, surrounded by a group of middle-aged wives, the banquet is over, Yuan Bao left and had no chance to talk to the ladies.

For this, Yuan Bao expressed his satisfaction. What she wanted to say has already been said, and what the other party wanted to say has not been said. Isn't this just right?

After getting home to wash and change clothes, Yuan Bao went directly to Ni Yuze's yard. Ni Yuze hadn't woken up yet, Yuan Bao hesitated for a while standing in the inner room, and was about to leave.

"Tch—" There was a sneer from behind the curtain on the bed, "It's really good to learn the rules!" Ni Yuze's voice started to drop ice again.

Yuan Bao has a guilty conscience, and she also knows that her way of hiding from Ni Yuze these days is very hurtful, and her current behavior is just to find an excuse to run away again, but Yuan Bao doesn't want to admit it, so she pretends to be gnashing her teeth, and lifts the curtain, "I'm not thinking about your poor health, I'm afraid it will disturb your rest!"

Ni Yuze was sitting on the bed. Although he was wearing household clothes, his robes were neat, and there was a small table in front of him. He was full of pen and ink. He didn't look like he was sleeping at all. I think he had his own reason for calling Yuan Bao, and now listening to what Yuan Bao said, Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, county lord, for your concern. Now, is the county lord going to say that he is very pleased to see me safe and is planning to leave? Or is he regretting that he shouldn't have come?!"

"Ni Yuze," Yuan Bao became furious, and told her that she really thought so, couldn't this guy save her some face?God knows, how much courage did she muster, and how long did she find excuses before she dared to come to the door? ! "When did you become so vicious?!" Yuan Bao stretched out his index finger and pressed on Ni Yuze's left chest. When she lifted the curtain, she could already smell the familiar fragrance of medicine.

"Ah—" Ni Yuze let out a low cry, raised his right hand to cover the left chest that Yuan Bao had pressed, and fell down slowly. During the whole process, his left shoulder was extremely stiff.

Yuan Bao turned pale with fright, he couldn't care about anything, he jumped onto Ni Yuze's bed in one step, and untied Ni Yuze's robe skillfully, "What's the matter, what's the matter, but it hurts so much, I...I can't use any strength Ah!" She was so anxious that she was about to cry, you know, Ni Yuze is the master who would rather faint in pain than make a sound, but now he is crying out in pain, so what kind of pain is that?
When the skin on Ni Yuze's chest was fully exposed in front of her, Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief. The swelling was not too high, much better than Yuan Bao imagined, but she still patted Ni Yuze's face while doing the massage, "Hey, are you okay? Are you dizzy?"

Ni Yuze lay sideways on the bed, opened his eyes, looked at Yuan Bao and smiled lightly, "You just fainted, I'm so weak in your heart?!"

Yuan Bao was angry, "So you're just pretending!"

Look at the current situation, Ni Yuze's disheveled robe | chest | exposed | back is pressed under her body, coupled with Ni Yuze's beautiful and slightly enchanting smile, no matter how you look at this picture, it is not so pure. Ni Yuze was right, she was really dizzy and dizzy from his anger.

Ni Yuze remained silent, the smile on his face turned slightly cold, he stretched out his right arm to prop up his body, and sat up again.

Yuan Bao quickly apologized, "Forget it, forget it, I was wrong, you are already like this, how could it not hurt, but you used to be too tolerant, so I..."

During the attack of costal osteoarthritis, it will be better if you don’t move without touching, but it will hurt if you move. It is not difficult to see from Ni Yuze’s stiff and slow movements. This caused the misunderstanding and embarrassment just now, and I can't blame Ni Yuze at all.

Ni Yuze looked at the little hand that was busy on his chest, no matter how much resentment dissipated, he lowered his head and said in Yuan Bao's ear, "I didn't just say 'whatever you ask for' to you. .”

The superficial meaning of this sentence is that he has now completely followed Yuan Bao's original instructions, but how much does the hidden meaning mean? People who believe in it, now they are sick, they will take medicine on time, and this plaster has been applied all the time, and they still know that it hurts just now, it’s good, I am very happy and relieved.” She was unconsciously worrying about her discomfort A reason appeared.

Ni Yuze sighed lightly, and raised his hand to grab Yuan Bao's massaging hand, "Okay, you'll be tired after a while, tell me, what's the matter today?" His pride still exists, he can ask Yuan Bao cared, but he absolutely didn't want Yuan Bao's pity. Since Yuan Bao didn't want it, he didn't want to force it either.

Yuan Bao broke free from the hand held by Ni Yuze, and carefully arranged Ni Yuze's robe, "It's not a big deal, I just came to take a look." Ni Yuze's pride, she understood, she found that she had thought too much in the past, Inevitably a little guilty.

Yuan Bao tidied up Ni Yuze's underwear, continued to massage Ni Yuze gently, and asked first, "Is your chest hurting a lot recently?" After getting a satisfactory answer, he explained in detail what happened at Qin's house today. Say it again.

"Aren't you doing well? There's really nothing to worry about. The Qin family won't get involved. Don't worry about that, Second Uncle is going to Beijing soon." Ni Yuze's demeanor and tone softened. With Yuan Bao nestled in his arms, he felt that the whole world was complete.

"Second Uncle?" Yuan Bao paused for a moment, and soon realized, "Oh! So that's how it is!"

The second uncle mentioned by Ni Yuze is the second master of Ni Mansion in Ningnan. He was originally the master of Ningnan Mansion. After his term of office expired, the emperor asked him to be re-elected for Ni Yuze's sake. Now his re-election has expired. Well, Ni Yuze's performance was even better, and he was promoted to an official, and he went to Beijing to take up his post after the next year.

Don't look at the second master Ni who was only promoted from the fourth-rank magistrate to the third-rank official minister, and his rank was only raised by one level. I could see countless gold ingots, and went to Ni's mansion in line.

"So the Qin family absolutely dare not offend us at this time, especially today, when I made my attitude so clear." Yuan Bao said happily, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, what about your grandmother? Will you Will you also go to Beijing together?!"

Ni Yuze nodded, "Yes! How could grandma let go of such a great opportunity to enjoy life? Besides, the capital is grandma's hometown. Even if my second uncle is released, grandma may not leave the capital." Ancient people paid attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. Mrs. Ni This is planning to end up in the capital for retirement.

Yuan Bao stood up and paced on the foot of the bed, "Troublesome! Really troublesome! If they come, how can we still be so free?!" She felt quite a headache for Mrs. Ni, even if she was not afraid, it could be seen that It's annoying, besides, Mrs. Ni's seniority is there after all, Ni Yuze can't go too far for his own reputation.

Ni Yuze tidied his clothes by himself, and seeing that the plaster was cold, he asked the maid to bring a new one and put it on. Yuan Bao hurried over to help, although it was only a trivial matter, it restored the warmth and intimacy between the two of them.

Ni Yuze said softly, "What's the trouble? She lives in her Ni mansion, and I live in my Duke's mansion. Although I am an elder, I don't have a son. The reason for letting my grandson take care of me is at worst. I ask An to go more often." That's it!"
