Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 351 A Somewhat Deserted Farewell Ceremony

Yuan Bao snorted coldly, "As the daughter of the Song family, with a father like you and two concubine elder sisters like you, I have long since lost face. Why are you talking about these vain rituals? Just say it directly, and plan to spend a total of How much money!"

Song Chengye had nothing to rely on, so he had to say, "200 taels."

This amount of money is indeed not enough for anything, but Yuan Bao didn't want to get too entangled with them because of such a trivial matter, so he simply said, "Bring it!"

"Ah?" Song Chengye was stunned, "What are you taking?"

Yuan Bao took a look at Song Chengye, "Naturally take the 200 taels of silver you said, you give me the silver, and I will arrange the food and lodging for the carriages and horses along the way!" Yuan Bao is now very strict with the Song family. In her heart, she would rather suffer a little loss and lose some money than put this kind of initiative in the hands of the Song family. Thinking about eating the meals provided by the Song family every day, and letting the Song family take care of the horses and vehicles, her whole body will be Goosebumps - take precautions against house thieves!

Besides, how much can she lose if she loses money, not to mention that she will get it back with interest in the future, even the 1 taels of silver that Song Chengye gave earlier is enough for her to spend. On the sheep, Yuan Bao was quite happy in his heart.

"What do you mean..." Song Chengye asked while quickly summing up in his mind.

Yuan Bao couldn't understand his pettiness, so he stood up and said, "It's only 200 taels of silver. If you don't want to, forget it. I really don't want to be so carefree. At worst, when we leave, our team will be in the same place. , separate food and lodging.”

"Don't...don't..." Song Chengye panicked, he felt a bit like a warlord now, he was afraid that Yuan Bao and Su Chunsheng would continue to harm him, but also wanted to try his best to repair the relationship with Yuan Bao and get as much benefit from Yuan Bao as possible.

Ni Yuze can see it now, don't look at what Ni Yuze said very harshly on the surface, saying that the Yu family's money will not be used by Yuan Baohua at all, but in fact, Yuan Bao's expenses are reduced at all, it must be that they are behind others' backs. What kind of agreement is there? From this point of view alone, Song Chengye admires Yuan Bao very much-his daughter is not simple, no matter what method is used, she can actually play Ni Yuze and the Su family around!
Think again, Yuan Bao's experience over the years: he has lived his life from being a sold-off child bride-in-law to becoming a county head personally appointed by the emperor, and still holding an unknown amount of wealth in his hands!
How can this kind of mind and ability be possessed by ordinary ladies or village girls? !Every time he thinks of this, Song Chengye will feel a strange sense of pride in his heart: After all, she is my daughter, Song Chengye, she is too scheming!
Similarly, this kind of cognition also made Song Chengye feel a little bit of regret in his heart. If he knew that Yuan Bao was so powerful, why should he fight against Yuan Bao?He only wanted to cling to that "noble person" who didn't help him at all, so that he fell into the situation he is today, he was wrong, he was wrong!

I just don't know, if Song Chengye knew that Yuan Bao was not only economically free from any control of Ni Yuze, but also had the ability to "friendly sponsor" Ni Yuze's large sum of money, would Song Chengye regret it?

But, no matter what, Song Chengye's character and what he did to Yuanbao's mother and daughter back then have already doomed Song Chengye or the entire Song family to benefit from Yuanbao!
All kinds of calculations were only for a moment, Song Chengye also wanted to understand, no matter how you put it, it was only 200 taels of silver, whether it was for Yuanbao or him, it was just a drop in the bucket, so he immediately agreed, "Okay, I will go get the silver right now. "

Song Chengye turned and went back to the inner room, Yuan Bao sat down and looked at Luo Shi with a half-smile, "Travel expenses, this is obviously the normal expenses that the head mother who presides over Zhongfu should manage, but now, Song Chengye actually went to get the money by himself, Luo Shi Has your failure reached the point where you can't even cover it up?
Luo Shi felt Yuan Bao's gaze, but she didn't move her eyes and brows, she was very indifferent, with a subdued look, but the hands hidden in the sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.

Luo Shi understands that no matter what, Song Chengye is Yuan Bao's biological father. From the day Yuan Bao recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan, Yuan Bao will be scruples no matter what he does to Song Chengye. Yuan Bao had to give in.

In fact, in Song Chengye's heart, his attitude towards Yuan Bao has been vacillating. On the one hand, he thinks Yuan Bao is very useful, and on the other hand, he is afraid that what he did back then will be known by Yuan Bao, which will cause trouble.

For Song Chengye's mentality, Luo Shi is the person who knows best in this world, so Luo Shi has been using Song Chengye's fear and hesitation to guide Song Chengye to do so many wrong things!

Who told Song Chengye to use Roche like this?In Luo Shi's heart, whether it is Song Chengye or Yuan Bao, no matter which one of them lives well, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing to her, so Luo Shi will spare no effort to confuse the Song family that is no longer under her control. It would be even better if she could benefit from it. If she couldn't, she didn't want the Song family to have a good life, because she didn't want to be controlled by others, and she felt that the Song family had nothing worthy of her nostalgia. Get away when it's moldy!

Luo Shi's selfishness and viciousness are definitely not comparable to that of Song Xinzhu. In addition, Luo Shi is more forbearing, hides deeper, and plans more carefully!
"Hmph," Yuan Bao sneered in his heart when he saw Luo Shi's affectation, "Can't you bear it? I want to see how long you can bear it, and as long as you do it, I will definitely let you There is no going back!"

Song Chengye came back soon, but Yuan Bao didn't accept the 200 taels of bank notes, but first asked the Song family about the number of people going back this time, the salutes, and the condition of the carriages and horses.

Song Chengye had obviously calmed down. He thought that the calculations were almost done, so he reported them one by one. The serious masters of the Song family, apart from Yuan Bao, are now only Song Chengye and Song Xinyue, his father and daughter. Luo Shi can only be regarded as half of the masters. There are more than ten people, this number is really not many.

Song Chengye figured it out, he couldn't bear the expenses of so many servants now, and it was unnecessary, and even if he needed manpower, it would be much cheaper to buy people after returning to his hometown than in the capital.

The Song family didn't have much luggage, they had been renting a house in the capital all the time, besides, they came to Beijing not long ago, so they didn't have time to buy too many things.

The problem lies in the horses and carriages - the Song family doesn't even have a carriage!

"Ahem, the original two carriages were not very good, and they might not be able to withstand the long-distance travel, so I sold them. I thought I would follow the Escort Bureau or someone's caravan, and then pay the money and use their carriages directly. The horse is enough, it saves worry and effort, and the cost is not much!" Song Chengye explained very clearly, and then added bitterly, "My father is no longer an official, so naturally I don't pay much attention to it, let you suffer with me Oh, hey——" The expression is very accurate, if someone who doesn't know the inside story, he will really think that he is a loving father who is deeply guilty of his lack of personal ability.

The way of travel that Song Chengye mentioned is often used by small households. For example, Shi Yuandao used this method to make his two grandchildren travel between the capital and Ningnan Prefecture. Of course. , In order to save even such expenses, he went with Ni Yuze's caravan.

Song Chengye said so now, and it cannot be said that he has no plans to go with Ni Yuze's caravan. Besides, this way of travel is really too shabby for Yuan Bao, who is the head of the county, and it is extremely unlikely that Yuan Bao can bear it, because This lost not only Yuan Bao's face, but also Ni Yuze's.

It can be said that Song Chengye is using this method to force Yuanbao to pay for this return home. At the same time, this is also a kind of test for Yuanbao by Song Chengye, to see how much energy Yuanbao has, how much he can endure, and he is willing to pay for it. How much did the Song family pay!Moreover, this is only the first step in Song Chengye's attempt to test and force Yuan Bao!

After patiently listening to Song Chengye, Yuan Bao asked the maid to collect the bank notes on the table, stood up and said, "Then I will make arrangements according to what my father said just now, don't wait until there is any change when I leave, I am absolutely capable Come out and leave people and things behind!"

Song Chengye's face darkened, and he was blocked by Yuan Bao for a moment, speechless. Even though he thought of this result, Yuan Bao's attitude towards him was really unacceptable to him, so he nodded his head forcefully, which was regarded as a acknowledgment.

Yuan Bao didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and went out. During the whole process, he stayed at Song's house for less than a quarter of an hour, and most of it was used to wait for Song Chengye to get the bank notes.

Looking at Yuan Bao's receding figure at the entrance of the main hall, Luo Shi stood behind Song Chengye and sighed quietly, "I really don't know, where did she get so much resentment—" The word "ah" turned into a curling echo, echoing in the air. Slowly drifting away in the night, refusing to fall for a long time, not so much a self-talk with sighs, but a creepy reminder like a ghost, especially for Song Chengye who has done a lot of bad things people say.

Song Chengye's hairs stood on end by Luo Shi's "prompt", and it took him a long time to calm down and calm down. He was about to say a few harsh words to Luo Shi to save his face, and also warned Luo Shi not to What happened at such a time, when I turned around, I realized that Luo Shi had left without knowing when, and he was left alone in the desolate courtyard.

"It's okay," Song Chengye secretly cheered himself up, "As long as I go back to my hometown, even if I'm not an official, I still have a fortune waiting for me. It's no problem to be a rich man to take care of my life. A few beautiful concubines, Luo Shi can't make waves anymore, even if there is no, I can marry again, I am not yet 40 years old, there is no guarantee that one day I will not grow old and have a child, let alone 40 years old, I will have a child at 50 years old Not without it!"

"Besides," Song Chengye persistently looked at the door where Yuan Bao left, his eyes gradually became fiery, "there is a daughter of the county lord, the son-in-law of the Duke, and in a few years there will be a grandson of the Duke's son, who can say Will my official career stop here? The ups and downs in the officialdom are too common, no matter how big a scandal is, no one will mention it again in a few years, if it is in time, it will definitely be in time!"

If it is said that these thoughts are just Song Chengye's speculations, then after seeing the carriages and horses sent by Yuan Bao to pick up the Song family and the arrangements for the journey back home, Song Chengye's original ups and downs became much more stable. All kinds of "hopes" have become more eager.

Yuan Bao's or the Su family's carriages and horses are all built according to Ni Yuze's travel standards, and almost ten of them were given to Yuan Bao and the Su family by Ni Yuze for various reasons. They are all four-wheeled and double-horse, and the wood is exquisite. , spacious and sturdy, complete facilities, shock absorption in place, gorgeous furnishings... In short, it is unimaginable luxury and comfort for outsiders, let alone the Song family, very few people have enjoyed it in the whole dynasty.

Yuan Bao was a little aggrieved to use such a chariot and horse for the Song family, but there was nothing he could do.

When this kind of carriage travels for a long distance, the seats are usually removed, and the whole carriage is turned into a big bed on the floor, with thick cushions and soft big pillows, which is very comfortable for sitting and lying on. Yuan Bao didn't remove the seat of the Song family's carriage, not only did he not remove the seat, but also removed everything else that could be removed: cushions, mattresses, small table cases...

But even so, such a carriage still made the Song family feel very comfortable.

Two days later, outside the north gate of the capital, Yuan Bao, who came out of the Moon Temple, joined the Song family, and accompanied by the sound of Linlin's carriages, went to the Song family's hometown of Cangshan Mansion. Looking out of the window desperately, even if he couldn't see the people who saw him off, he still refused to sit down until Yanxi couldn't help but reminded, "Okay, county lord, it's windy this morning, let's draw the curtains son!"

Unknowingly, Yuan Bao burst into tears. This time, neither Ni Yuze nor Su Chunsheng went with her, and no one from the Su family except the servant, even Ni Junfei couldn't find an excuse to accompany her!

It was the first time that Yuan Bao felt so lonely since she was a child. She had no relatives, no friends, and she was the only one who faced the enemies in the name of relatives alone!
It turned out that unconsciously, Yuan Bao had gotten used to being accompanied by tenderness all the time. With such support and reliance, she was not afraid of risks. Once she lost these things, she would inevitably panic, which was harder to bear than panic It was loneliness, but after only a moment, she felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, and almost had someone drive the car back!

"Oh my god—" Yuan Bao was rolling in the carriage irritably, "None of these guys has a conscience, if they say they won't give it away, they really won't give it away, and they all look like that, I wish I could leave as soon as possible!"

"Master, how can you say that!" Yan Xi was a little dumbfounded, it was the first time she discovered that the master who had always been so mature had such a childish side.
