Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 117

Unknowingly, the hands of the servants were full of things, and the tourists around them gradually became less and less. Looking up, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and it was already the second watch (after nine o'clock in the evening).

"Quick, quick, turn around and close the mansion door again!" Yuan Bao said hastily.

Ni Xiaopang laughed and didn't take it seriously, "Call again after it's closed, anyway, we're going out to play tonight, father knows." But he let Yuan Bao lead him to trot all the way, as long as he held hands with Yuan Bao , Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, he is willing to go.

The two left happily and returned happily, and had a very happy festival.

It was a different scene for the Su brothers. After Su Chunsheng got out of the car, he paced gracefully until he turned a corner and felt that the people in the Ni residence could no longer see him. Running wildly, Su Qiusheng was startled, hurriedly followed, and asked while running, "Brother, brother, what's the matter?" Seeing that Su Chunsheng ignored him, he yelled louder.

Su Chunsheng was finally called back to his senses, stopped, then raised his fist, and slammed it heavily on a big tree next to him, blood gushed out all at once.

"Brother—" Su Qiusheng took Su Chunsheng's hand, took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around him, and said in a low voice, "Yuan Bao looks good, not thin, and has grown taller, and the clothes and jewelry on his body are very Well, the most important thing is, looking at how the Fifth Young Master and Yuan Bao are getting along, Yuan Bao doesn't look like he's being wronged at all, and Yuan Bao's attitude towards us is also the same as before, it hasn't changed at all, it's not what mother said at all..." When he turned his head to look, he found that Su Chunsheng was in tears.

Su Qiusheng was in a hurry, "Oh, brother, what's the matter, you just said it out, seeing you like this makes my heart burn like fire!"

Su Chunsheng wiped away his tears, and said in a heavy tone, "Yuan Bao has a smell of medicine!"

"Ah?" Su Qiusheng was stunned. It was still winter, and everyone was wearing thick clothes. Su Qiusheng was far away from Yuanbao, so naturally he didn't smell it, but Su Chunsheng was different. Yuanbao was always attached to Su Chunsheng's body, so Su Qiusheng Chunsheng smelled it.

"Yuanbao is sick? You can't tell from the outside!" Su Qiusheng said hesitantly.

Su Chunsheng shook his head, "No! As soon as I smelled the smell of the medicine, I began to look for it carefully. It was definitely not on the young master, and Yuan Bao was not sick. Otherwise, the smell of the medicine should be in Yuan Bao's mouth, but what I smelled was in Yuan Bao's mouth." Yuan Bao's body." Still the lower body.

Su Qiusheng turned pale with shock, "Yuan Bao is injured!"

Su Chunsheng nodded with a gloomy expression, "It must have been beaten!" Covering his face with his hands, tears flowed down again, "I don't know if it's just this time, or if she is often beaten!"

Su Qiusheng turned around and walked back, "No, I have to ask the young master why he beat Yuanbao!"

Su Chunsheng grabbed Su Qiusheng, "Do you think the young master treats Yuanbao like someone who beats Yuanbao?"

Su Qiusheng paused, and said with a wry smile, "No wonder the young master is so kind to Yuan Bao and still a little afraid, so Yuan Bao is being beaten for the young master every day!" Tears also fell.

It has to be said that the Su brothers are indeed extraordinary, but they guessed the general truth of the matter with such a small detail.

It has been almost two months since the only time Yuanbao was beaten, because it was only a flesh injury, but only five or six yuanbao was able to get out of bed and walk around, after half a month, he ran and jumped as usual, and after more than [-] days, all the scabs fell off by themselves, the reason why Up to now, Yuanbao is still applying medicine to eliminate scars. Anyway, Ni Mansion provides the best scar medicine for free, so Yuanbao naturally insists on using it. This is also an income, isn't it?

"When I think that all the money was bought by Yuan Bao with blood, I feel..." Su Chunsheng couldn't continue, he squatted down slowly against the tree, as if his whole body had lost strength, "Yuan Bao doesn't want to Go home, but you can't come back!"

"Ah—" Su Qiusheng let out a roar suddenly, and then he said, "Brother, I want to be an official, a high-ranking official, so big that no one can bully Yuan Bao!" The little boy clenched his fists, Until blood oozes from the palm of his hand, staining his heartfelt oath red.

After the two brothers returned home, they didn't even have time for dinner, so they went into the study to copy the books. As soon as Yuan Bao got the annotated books from Mr. Ni Xiaopang, he thought that the Su brothers could also use them. So only what Ni Xiaopang needs to use now was left, and the rest were sent to the Su family, and the Su brothers were asked to copy down the above notes for reference. They gave a total of more than 200 taels of silver gifts, Yuan Bao didn't want to Such a good thing was ruined by that idiot Ni Xiaopang.

From the annual holiday at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month to the present, the two brothers have started working day and night at the same time. There are a total of thirty or so book annotations, and they have already copied [-]% of them.

The next day, both Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang got up late.

After breakfast, Yuan Bao urged Ni Xiaopang, "Quick, go back to Master, we're going shopping today."

Ni Xiaopang hesitated, "Then do you want someone to deliver a letter?"

Yuan Bao pretended not to understand, "Send a letter to Ni Zhong, no need, I guess he can be in the shop."

Ni Xiaopang looked at Yuan Bao in disbelief, "Ni Zhong? You're not delivering a letter to your husband?" The meeting between Yuan Bao and Su Chunsheng yesterday became a thorn in his heart, which he couldn't get out no matter what. The slightest touch hurts so badly that even he himself can't explain why.

Yuan Bao smiled, "What's the matter with Guan Chunsheng? Aren't we two going out to buy something?"

"Ah, ah." Ni Xiaopang went away overjoyed, the thorn in his heart seemed to be hidden.

Looking at Ni Xiaopang's back, Yuan Bao curled his lips in disdain.

"Hey, why do I feel that this brocade seems to be much bigger?" Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang stood chatting at the gate of Xiuzhuang.

Ni Xiaopang is very proud, "That's natural. Not long after the zodiac patterns were sold out, Yunjin sold a shop next to it. The shop is naturally bigger. Now, whether it is in terms of the shop or the silver sold , Yunjin is well-deserved, and there is no one in Qing'an County's largest embroidery shop. To be honest, these are all things that happened last year."

"At that time I had already entered the mansion, so naturally I didn't know." Yuan Bao gave Ni Xiaopang a blank look.

Ni Xiaopang smiled apologetically, "I just heard that it's the first time I'm here today..."

Yuan Bao and Ni Xiaopang originally wanted not to reveal their identities at first, but they just chose the same things that Yuan Bao wanted. Ni Xiaopang found that Yuan Bao wanted very complicated things, such as embroidery needles, thread, ribbons, ropes, and beads for tying hair. Choose a lot.

"Oh, fifth young master, honored guest, Miss Yuan Bao, rare guest!" Someone who knew the two of them notified the chief steward, and the latter came out with a smile on his face, and his enthusiasm was unbelievable.

Yuan Bao leaned into Ni Xiaopang's ear and asked softly, "Do you still remember what they looked like when you brought me to Yunjin the first time?"

Ni Xiaopang squeezed Yuan Bao's hand, "How can I forget it, it's all thanks to you!"

"That's it," Yuan Bao raised his head, "You must remember my kindness!" There was no sense of modesty at all.

Ni Xiaopang made no noise.

The two were welcomed into Ni Zhong's room, Yuan Bao drank a sip of tea and said bluntly, "I've already figured out the appearance, but I haven't finished it yet, so I can't say, besides, there are a lot of things missing, and I have to bother you." The shopkeeper's help."

Ni Zhong's eyes were bright, "The girl really lived up to everyone's expectations, that..." He was very curious.

Yuan Bao waved his hand, "I'm afraid I won't be able to make it, so now no one knows except myself, and don't worry about it, the shopkeeper. When I finish my work, it will be your turn." He took out the things he bought at Yunjin today , "These are still unsuitable. This one should be narrower." It is a ribbon used by women to tie their hair. Yuan Bao scratched the middle with his nails. Yes, you need two of each color, silk, the smoother and brighter the better."

Ni Zhong carefully wrote down, "I'll immediately order someone to weave for the girl, and it can be done in three days."

"There are still some things that are not available in the embroidery shop. You have to go to a gold and silver jewelry shop or a jade shop. The shopkeeper should understand that you have to find a reliable shop, otherwise..." Yuan Bao looked at Ni Zhong.

Ni Zhong nodded immediately, "Of course I understand the pros and cons of this. The old man is still waiting for news, so let's go now." What, that's why Yuan Bao made such a request.

In fact, Yuan Bao is greedy for cheap things, and the things she wants to buy next are very expensive. She asks for a lot more, and it will be counted as her income in the future. She believes that even if she speaks out her creativity now , the person who hears it will definitely shout, "That's impossible!" The danger of leaking the secret is very small.

Ni Zhong took them to a jade shop, which also had gold and silver jewelry, which met Yuanbao's requirements very well.

Ni Xiaopang told Yuan Bao in private that this shop was not owned by the second master, but by the eldest young master.

The rules of the Ni Mansion are like this, no matter who manages the shop, [-]% of the profits will go to the public, and the remaining [-]% ​​will be distributed to the subordinates according to their ranks, and [-]% will go to the nominal owner.

And in order to win over the powerful shopkeepers under him and reward the meritorious personnel in the shop, the holder usually has to give the servants additional rewards, which naturally have to come from their own [-]%.Therefore, the last time the zodiac pattern was so hot, the one who benefited the most was not the owner of Yunjin Brocade, but Ni Zhong, the "super servant" and "great hero". Of course, the second master also got involved. light.

But this time, the situation may be completely opposite. The second master, Yuan Bao, is in the hands of the second master. The second master can reward Yuan Bao alone, and it is only a routine case to distribute it to Ni Zhong.

However, if Yuan Bao performed very well, it is very likely that Ni Zhong's routine share is much more than the original reward and share. More importantly, as the reputation of Yunjin has greatly increased, Ni Zhong's worth has also increased. As the tide rises, all boats rise, so even without the supervision of the old master and the second master, Ni Zhong will do his best to help Yuan Bao.

To be honest, this jade shop is the biggest beneficiary of Yuan Bao's creativity, because he has a very close personal relationship with Ni Zhong, and Yuan Bao's new pattern of nets, the method of selling nets and the patterns of the zodiac are all the first in this jade shop. It was tried out here, and the profits of the jade shop from these items are much higher than that of brocade, which is due to the difference in the industry.

Now Yuan Bao finally understands why the eldest young master couldn't help jumping out when he heard that she was the author of the zodiac pattern that day. It turned out that Yin Zi instructed her!
And the young master was able to take advantage of the cheapness, and counted the money happily, and only gave Ni Zhong and the shopkeeper of the jade shop a reward. The second master didn't even have a word of "thank you". The second master has been in trouble for several times, and the second master has no choice but to endure it. Who made the second master not have a jade shop in his own hands?No matter whose name the shop is for, he will end up thankless for his efforts, so don't look for it... At that time, the ingot was not in his hands, so it doesn't count if he said it!

Yuan Bao first took out the drawn picture, and ordered some strange things here. This thing is about five or six centimeters high. There are lotus petal shaped ones, oval shaped ones, perfectly round shaped ones, fish mouth shaped ones, vase shaped ones, and some unidentifiable shapes with different textures, jade, gold, silver, gold inlaid As for the jade one, after seeing enamel porcelain, Yuan Bao also asked for one. In addition, Yuan Bao also got some beads with holes.

Ni Xiaopang and Ni Zhong were all at a loss. They didn't know what Yuan Bao wanted to do, let alone the shopkeeper of the jade shop. He didn't know Yuan Bao's identity, but he felt that he had never seen such an arrogant Maid, it's hard to guarantee that it's not the eldest lady of some family, and she came out to play today wearing the clothes of the Ni mansion's maid.

The shopping was finished, but it was not finished, Yuan Bao asked to take a look at the workshop in the jade shop, and Ni Zhong was there, so the other party naturally agreed.

After watching Yuan Bao in the workshop for a long time, her face was full of joy. Fortunately, she has been busy for several days since the eighth day of the first lunar month, but she didn't finish it. It turned out that there was something wrong with the tools!

"I want this." Yuan Bao pointed to the craftsman who was polishing.

"This one hasn't been finished yet, it's just a piece of jade. When it's ready, I'll have someone send it to the girl's house." The shopkeeper of the jade shop said, he thought that Yuan Bao had taken a fancy to the piece of jade in the hands of the craftsman.

Yuan Bao shook his head, "No, I want his set of tools, even the small movable table under the grinding belt!"

"Oh," the shopkeeper turned pale with shock, "this thing is not fun, the grinding piece is so sharp, you can break it with your fingers if you are not careful!"

Yuan Bao carefully looked at it again and again with a solemn expression, and finally said to Ni Zhong, "I really want this thing!"

Ni Zhong nodded, and Yuan Bao found another set of tools for drilling beads in the workshop, plus a set of large and small grinding discs, a set of drill bits of each size, and ten feet of gold wire, and then he said, "It's all set! "

Both Ni Zhong and Ni Xiaopang heaved a sigh of relief. One must know that nearly 1000 taels of silver were used to purchase Yuanbao. If Ni Zhong hadn't come forward and recorded everything, they really couldn't afford it.

But, put all these miscellaneous things together, what exactly is Yuan Bao going to do?Ni Zhong refrained from asking, but felt as if a feather was constantly brushing against him, it was an itch!

Ni Xiaopang is not as deep as Ni Zhong. As soon as he got into the carriage, he asked Yuan Bao, "What are you going to do? Just tell me. I swear I won't tell anyone. Did not say!"

Yuan Bao thought for a while, she just looked at the grinding tool, in this time and space there can't be electric ones like later generations, only human pedals, she really can't do it by herself, she needs Ni Xiaopang's help, so It's time to tell Ni Xiaopang.

"I want to embroider on eggshells." Inside the carriage, Yuan Bao leaned into Ni Xiaopang's ear and said in a very low voice.

"Oh—" Ni Xiaopang heard it clearly, then nodded, blinked his eyes, and after about ten seconds, he finally came to his senses and shouted, "That's impossible!" The reflex arc of the brain is so long.

Yuan Bao immediately covered Ni Xiaopang's mouth, "Don't say it!" Seeing Ni Xiaopang nodding repeatedly, he let go of his hand.

After Ni Xiaopang was stunned for a while, he said in a low voice, "1000 taels of silver, how can we pay it back, at worst, we won't go out for three to five months!" He was sure that Yuan Bao couldn't do it.

Yuan Bao gave Ni Xiaopang a blank look, didn't say a word, but was very happy in her heart. Ni Xiaopang's reaction gave her great encouragement, which showed that before seeing the real thing, everyone thought it was impossible. This idea, Definitely worth it in exchange for her freedom!
Yes, this time, what Yuan Bao wants to sell is this idea. Of course, this idea is actually plagiarized by Yuan Bao.

Eggshell embroidery was not uncommon in the previous life, and it was sold on Taobao. The price varies according to the difficulty of embroidery, and the cheap ones can be bought for a hundred yuan.

Yuan Bao also knows that in this time and space where the fine handicraft industry is far more developed than later generations, after everyone sees this thing, they can quickly figure out the mystery of it and then imitate it. Looking back at the shock at that time, as long as she did it, she would be successful, and her freedom would be at hand!
The first thing to do when you get home is to move things away, and remove all the things outside the east wing that Yuan Bao owns but doesn't live in at all. Ni Zhong promises to send those two things over in the next half an hour. Yuan Bao must have a closed room. small workshop.

During Li Nan's class in the second half of the day, Yuan Bao brought several eggs, large and small, and pestered Li Nan to help her draw. Ni Xiaopang stopped writing big characters, and the three of them discussed enthusiastically together.

"Sir, that's not the case. It's not easy to paint this egg." Yuan Bao held the egg and gestured, "An egg is different from a white paper. It has its own shape, color, and its own characteristics." , I thought, if you want to draw eggs well, you must use these, so that you can draw different effects!"

Ni Xiaopang nodded repeatedly when he heard it, Li Nan was very irritable when he heard it, and felt that the lady of this rich family was not doing her job properly, she was just a plaything, but she was so caring, she hadn't learned the basic brushwork and painting skills, and He remembered what to draw, but what he could do was endure it.
