Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 14 Change (4)

Niu Sandai was stunned and forgot to close his big round mouth.How did the girl know?He only nagged his wife at night, not even his son or daughter.

Niu San's ancestors were also scholars and lived in this suburb of Luocheng.However, each generation of the Niu family was not as good as the last. By his grandfather's generation, those who had passed the Tongsheng examination would never be able to pass the examination again. The family was so poor that even the daughter-in-law abandoned her children and ran away.The Yin family was really poor and didn't want to work hard in farming. The Yin family was about to move to Beijing and wanted to buy a few servants who could read and count. After weighing it again and again, Niu Tongsheng asked his distant cousin sister-in-law, who was a grandmother, to bring a few servants. A daughter of Zi (Niu San's father) entered the Yin family and became a slave.

Niu San has always had an unusual "scholarly family" plot in his heart. This time he tried his best to win the opportunity for his whole family to follow Yin Zhiruo because he felt that Yin Zhiruo was easy to fool, and his daughter Ruxia was "close to the water", so he could make a lot of money in a few years. After receiving the money, the couple took their two sons to redeem themselves and gave up their smart younger son and future grandchildren (in the Ying Dynasty, even if you were a slave yesterday, you can take the scientific examination as long as you get rid of your slave status today). And if Ruxia takes care of him in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion, maybe he can become an old man in the future.

But he has always been a cautious person, and he has never disclosed such thoughts to his children, let alone letting others know. How did the girl "hear" about it?Such a "surprise attack" left Niu San completely confused and didn't know how to react.

In fact, Zhiruo was just guessing and just fooling around.In her previous life, Ruxia seemed to be trusted by the Ji family, and later became the wife of Zhuangzi. Her parents and brothers were all redeemed a few years later. It is said that her youngest brother was really good at studying, and he didn't have much time to escape from slavery. He was admitted as a scholar in the same year.It is unknown whether anyone will actually win the imperial examination or even become a Jinshi in the future.

Unexpectedly, such a casual test would expose Niu San.Seeing Niu San like this, everyone present was shocked to realize that Niu San actually had such "ambition".However, since he wanted to redeem himself, the girl took the initiative to let him go. Not only did he not need any money to redeem himself, but he also gave him 100 taels of housing allowance. Why didn't he leave?

Niu Sanye finally came back to his senses and grasped the key point of Zhiruo's words: "The only...only chance?"

Zhiruo affirmed with a half-smile: "Yes, this is the only chance. If you people decide to stay, you will never have another chance to redeem yourself, so you must think about it carefully." She did not say, It is impossible to say that what she is saying now is that if these people are all good and in need, she can still get rid of their slavery for free in the future without having to redeem herself.

Niu Sanning was confused. He had been shocked by Zhiruo's vicious words before, and now he didn't dare to doubt the "only chance" Zhiruo said.what happened?What's going on?Ruxia is right, the girl has really changed, no, more than changed, she has simply become a different person?
What should we do now?The monk at Lingyi Temple said that his six-year-old son Niu Jiabao was a Wenquxing descendant, and all the hopes of the Niu family were pinned on Jiabao.However, now that they are leaving the Yin family, how long can they survive with that little savings and 100 taels of housing allowance?It's no joke to support a person's education. What kind of private school, pen, ink, paper and inkstone don't cost money?It's all a lot of money.

He and his wife are both stewards of the Yin family, their daughter is the first-class maid next to the girl, and their 15-year-old eldest son is also waiting to learn to be a waiter in the girl's trousseau shop.A family of several people can live an easy life, earn a lot of money, and have better food and clothing than those of small families. If they go out rashly, where can they live such a good life?What's more, he still hopes to make a lot of money from this village for a few years, and save at least 3000 to [-] taels of silver before redeeming himself, right?Their family is not a hard-working person.Niu San's mind was racing rapidly. He was measuring how much "capital" his family had to make the girl give them a break in a few years.Otherwise, no matter how much money he gets, he will not be able to get rid of his slave status and be able to honor his ancestors, right?
Zhiruo often uses psychological tactics in the business wars of the 21st century. He could tell what Niu San was thinking at a glance and sneered: "Although the Yin family is no longer prosperous, my place, Yin Zhiruo, cannot tolerate half-hearted slaves. It's not like anyone can stay and leave whenever they want. If it weren't for the fact that you are the children of the Yin family, I would have sold you such a disloyal slave. Uncle Qi, the procedures for Niu San's family are also the same. Let’s do it.”

Qi Bo immediately said "Hey" in agreement. This Niu Sanhua has a lot of things on his mind, especially in the past few months since he came to Luozhou, but he has done a lot of things in private, obviously for his position as the leader of the village.It's not that he doesn't know, he just doesn't want to care about it.They were all the girl's companions, but when they first arrived, they started fighting among themselves, causing shame and trouble for the girl.

Since Niu San was so thoughtful and had planned to redeem his life, it was really not appropriate for him to stay any longer. It was kind of the girl to let them go, let alone pay for their settlement.However, Uncle Qi was a little surprised. How did the girl know that Niu San hid such deep thoughts, but did not tell the general and the princess?Could it be that I only found out after being on the road these three days?Ruxia accidentally revealed it?
"Girl...Girl..." Niu San and his wife collapsed to the ground, their minds went blank, they shouted "Girl" but could not say anything.They really don't want to leave now, but the girl means that if they don't leave, will they be betrayed?How dare you say anything?

Niu San glared at his wife angrily. Could it be that she couldn't help but tell her daughter Ruxia, and then Ruxia accidentally exposed her?Now the girl is possessed by someone unknown and is so difficult to deal with that they have no choice.Do you forcefully argue that you don't have that intention and swear to be a slave to the girl for the rest of your life?What about his Niu family's "Wenquxing"? What to do with "Guangzong Yaozu"?
The third daughter-in-law Niu was extremely aggrieved after being stared at. She had always been tight-lipped. How could she dare to reveal the slightest thing about Wu Ying?He didn’t even tell his own daughter.Niu San, on the other hand, was proud of watching Jiabao writing all day long. Could it be that he drank two more drinks at some time and accidentally revealed it while bragging?

Zhiruo ignored them and glanced at everyone coldly: "Have you all thought about it? Has anyone decided to leave?"

Everyone responded in unison: "This slave (servant) will not leave, and has never thought of leaving."

"That's good," Zhiruo paused, "As long as you sincerely stay and follow me, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future. Uncle Qi and everyone else who came with Jingli are also of the same type. Choice, anyone who wants to leave must report to you within today, and complete the formalities and leave within three days. If you don’t propose to leave today, if you are found guilty of misbehaving or betraying the Lord in the future, you will be severely punished."

Uncle Qi nodded in agreement. Today's girl really made him feel very happy. The general and the princess were still alive and could rest in peace.
