Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 201 The Courage of the Decisive Battle

Later, Ni Yuze became more and more ill, and at just a little bit, he went to the capital to participate in the selection of imperial merchants, and when he came back, he was seriously ill again, until today.

"This time, the third master took the initiative to hand over the account books of the shops they occupied in various places. He must have no good intentions," Jing Ning complained, "This is to see the young master better, and he will be forced to tire the young master again." Sickness!"

Yuan Bao asked thoughtfully, "How long is this ledger?"

Ni Yuze replied, "Three years." He waved to Jingning and said, "Don't talk about it."

Yuan Bao stepped forward to persuade Ni Yuze and said, "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about firewood. You must not fall for it. Seriously, we won't read this account book."

Ni Yuze didn't answer Yuan Bao's question, but looked at the void and said, "I felt like I was going to die a while ago, do you know what I was thinking in my heart, and I struggled to survive until I waited for you?"

Yuan Bao held her breath, she guessed that what Ni Yuze said next must be very important.

"I haven't fulfilled my father's instructions, and I have no face to face my parents underground. I don't want to die!" Ni Yuze stared at the ledger on the ground as if his eyes were about to burst into flames, "You want to know how long this ledger is, But I want to know, how many shops’ accounts are these, if I don’t count this account, if I don’t get it back, I will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating!” Because his subordinates blocked the news, Ni Yuze had no way of grasping the past three years of his illness. The specific income of the shop, let alone the losses caused to him by the Ni Mansion and the Yu Mansion!

Yuan Bao is silent, let alone someone like Ni Yuze, if this matter were put on her, she would not be able to swallow this breath, but Ni Yuze's health has improved recently, this...

Yuan Bao took a deep breath, "I think so, if you want to win the account, you must promise me three conditions."

Ni Yuze frowned, he really didn't expect Yuan Bao to stand by his side in a few words, and motioned Yuan Bao to continue talking.

"This is number one. No matter how much you lose, you can't be distressed or angry." Yuan Bao said while looking at Ni Yuze.

Ni Yuze didn't agree immediately, but thought about it quietly before nodding, which made Yuan Bao very happy, showing that Ni Yuze was serious, and she believed in Ni Yuze's self-control ability.

"Secondly, whether it counts or not, you can't work for more than three hours a day." Yuan Bao originally wanted to say two hours, but he was afraid that Ni Yuze would not accept it.

This time, Ni Yuze nodded quickly, "I won't lose the big because of small things." Who doesn't cherish life and health, especially for someone like him who almost died.

Yuan Bao felt more relieved, "The last condition is that the amount of food you eat every day and your health must satisfy me, otherwise, I have the right to disqualify you from working at any time!" It's too much, but she believes that Ni Yuze will definitely agree.

Ni Yuze curled his lips in disdain, "If that wasn't the case, why should I waste my time talking with you? Now you go all over the city and ask, who else doesn't know that you are so proud in front of me?!"

Yuan Bao stuck out his tongue, smiled, and then remembered another thing, "But with so many books, we can't finish counting them even if we're exhausted, no, we need to find helpers!"

Ni Yuze gave her a sideways glance, "I'll come to you as the first helper, do you think the master's money is for nothing?!"

The matter of mentioning the money was a joke, but it is true that Ni Yuze needs Yuanbao's help. In fact, Ni Yuze has a complete plan for this matter now. To be honest, if there is no Yuanbao and the accounting method Yuanbao just provided him, Ni Yuze's attitude will not be so firm yet.

"Hey", Yuan Bao smiled and moved to Ni Yuze's side, "If you don't give me money, I will help you!" This is the truth.

Ni Yuze did what he said, and immediately got busy in the study. However, he didn't touch the books, but made a few charts. The charts were quite large, some were for overall statistics, and some It is an example of the account page. Yuan Bao understood what Ni Yuze was doing with just a glance, but he was still very melancholy. Too scary a task.

After drawing these tables, Ni Yuze was exhausted. Taking this opportunity, Yuan Bao gave him two bowls of tonic soup. Now the tonic soup has been upgraded. It is no longer a clear soup with little water, but thicker To be precise, it should be called "porridge", but it does not necessarily have rice, but it is quite nutritious.

After Ni Yuze put down his pen, he first ordered, "Send word that I passed out." Then he washed up and went to bed, and began to rest for a while.

Yuan Bao smiled secretly, and climbed onto the big eight-step bed, first massaged Ni Yuze's stiff body, and then fell into a sweet dreamland with Ni Yuze.

Yuan Bao was woken up by Ni Yuze's coughing, but as soon as she moved, Ni Yuze covered her mouth. Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.

At this time, a voice came from outside the curtain, "Young Master is fine, but he was tired and fainted. Don't blame the old man for talking too much. Young Master's health has just improved, and it is far from the time to get up and move around. Going down, it's still worrying!" It was Doctor Zhang's voice.

Ni Yuze waved his hand at Yuan Bao, and Yuan Bao quickly crawled into the big bed, hid behind a big soft pillow, and then covered himself with a brocade quilt, now, even if he got into the bed, he might not be able to find her exists.

Ni Yuze got up slowly, first checked his clothes, and covered himself with the quilt, then coughed and said, "It's okay, come..."

The curtain was lifted a little, exposing Ni Yuze's upper body, and Jingxin looked at Ni Yuze worriedly.

"Bring me the table and ledger!" Ni Yuze continued.

"My lord—" Jing Xin exclaimed.

"My lord, you absolutely must not do it!" Doctor Zhang strongly dissuaded him.

"Ze'er, how can you do this?" The old lady on the brocade bench in front of the bed wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Ni Yuze stared at the old lady coldly, "My parents left me this family business, if I can't even keep it, what's the point of living?" His voice was not loud but his words were like knives.

The old lady is not so easy to scare, the loving expression on her face has not even changed, "What is life and death, if life is gone, what's the use of money?" , but she said it, the meaning of which is really hard to fathom.

However, the old lady also has teammates who are like pigs. At this time, a middle-aged woman sitting next to the old lady said, "You can't say that, if this is the account of one family, it's nothing more than it involves you and me. , There will be more specific points, how can we not check it out? Even if it is passed down, there must be a certificate, right?"

Without Ni Yuze, the Yu Mansion and the Ni Mansion would have been evenly matched, but because of the existence of Ni Yuze, the Ni Mansion was able to overwhelm the Yu Mansion everywhere. After all, the emperor's favor was given to Ni Yuze, and very few fell to the Yu Mansion. And the Ni Mansion itself is a family of officials and eunuchs, and the Yu Mansion, which was born as a merchant, is no match.

Because of this, Ni Yuze, who was just, was said to be partial to Yu's family and towards his mother's family, and the adoptive candidates for Yu's family were all older young masters, and only grown-up descendants of the Yu family would help him. They try their best to collect money and have the ability to fight against the Ni Mansion.

The old lady said sadly and angrily, "What do you mean, don't care about Ze'er's body, and he will not give up until he is forced to exhaustion?!" If people who don't know the inside story, seeing this scene, they don't know what happened. How much the old lady loves Ni Yuze!

Mrs. Yu's face flushed red, and she murmured, "It's better to decide on the adoptive heir earlier!" This implicitly admitted her thoughts.

This sentence offended the public, and she jumped up in a hurry, "Mrs. Yu, what are you talking about? If you can't say something nice, then shut your mouth." This is already blatant. Start scolding.

"Ze'er, this..." Jing Xin's words made an old man sitting beside Mrs. Yu's face flush, you know, no matter what, Jing Xin is just a servant, "Beside you... ..." But he really didn't dare to offend Ni Yuze, besides, Mrs. Yu also offended him first, but because Mrs. Yu had spoken out the aspirations of all Yu's children, he didn't stop her, but now he just wanted to Lost face.

Ni Yuze seemed to be unable to hear, just coughing, as if he was so angry that he couldn't speak, the maids stepped forward to serve, Jing Ning took the opportunity to say, "Madam Yu, you have also seen the situation now , Young Master is already worried and tired enough, please go back, everyone!" And he winked at Imperial Doctor Zhang at the side.

Doctor Zhang stood up in a huff, "How can I get well after being so tired and worried all day and night? I really don't want to care about it!" and left angrily.

The two members of the Yu clan sitting here are the two that Yuan Bao saw in Mrs. Ni's house last time. They are representatives sent by the Yu family and have lived in the Ni mansion for a long time. Come out to make a fuss, Doctor Zhang has dealt with them many times, so it is not strange to say such words now.

The people in Yu's mansion got up, but the old lady didn't need Jingning to say anything, but stood up by herself, "Then grandma is not here to trouble you anymore!" She hurriedly chased after the doctor Zhang, she wanted to ask What happened to Imperial Physician Zhang Ni Yuze, but they didn't know that Ni Yuze had followed Yuan Bao's suggestion and finally accepted Imperial Physician Zhang.

Mrs. Yu didn't react, but the old man surnamed Yu obviously understood the old lady's intentions, and she didn't bother to pester Jing Xin's rudeness at the moment, so she also ran after her.

At Doctor Zhang's place, they naturally didn't ask anything. When the old lady left, she sighed unintentionally, "Ze'er's body is afraid of being tired and worried!"

The old man's eyes flickered, and he said to the woman beside him, "I heard that these accounts are the accounts of Ze'er's shop managed by the Ni Mansion. I remember that our Yu Mansion also managed some of them." They put gold on their faces and changed "occupation" into another rhetoric.

Mrs. Yu was stunned, "We don't have as much control as the Ni Mansion. Besides, is this okay? Those money..." She was afraid to go back, wouldn't that be a big loss?
The old man looked at her angrily, "I don't want to give too much, I give as much as I want, these are enough, and now it's time for year-end accounts." October is almost over, "Besides, if Ze It's all right, you still think there will be a day when there will be no liquidation in the future?! At that time, what will you do?" He also has a part in occupying the shop, doesn't he feel distressed?It's just that there is no way!
As soon as Mrs. Yu froze, she immediately left Ni Yuze's yard to spread the news.

The ledger that Ni Yuze received on that day became twenty boxes, and ten days later it became more than twenty boxes. However, there has been no increase since then.

After these people left, Ni Yuze didn't want the ledger and kang table anymore, but called Yuan Bao, "Get up, get to work!"

While crawling on the bed like a puppy, Yuan Bao complained, "Are you going to work without giving me something to eat? I haven't had any snacks in the afternoon! The emperor still has hungry soldiers!"

Everyone in the room laughed, and the gloom brought by those people just now was swept away.

Washing and changing clothes, eating and drinking enough, the maid brought a fox fur coat for Ni Yuze, and a coat for Yuan Bao. Yuan Bao said in surprise, "Are we going out? What if you catch a cold?" Since she came these days, Ni Yuze never left the house.

Jing Ning patted Yuan Bao's little face, "Don't worry, it's not too far away, and everything has been arranged."

A group of people set off, but they didn't go through the front door, but went straight to the innermost part of Ni Yuze's inner room, that is, the direction of the clean room. Yuan Bao used to come here before, but they didn't notice that there was a door next to the clean room. , is not a small room, but the ground of this room gradually slopes underground, and finally becomes a tunnel. The tunnel is not deep at all, and the ceiling is estimated to be only about one foot from the ground.

Jing Ning explained for Yuan Bao, "This way, you don't have to go out of the house when it's cold, and it's more convenient to go back and forth." Even if there is no fire, the room is always warmer than the outside, at least there is no wind.

Yuan Bao swallowed with a "gudong", and once again deeply felt the luxury of the rich.

Although the tunnel is very shallow, it is very spacious, even Ni Yuze's big sedan chair can be lifted in, and there are a lot of servants carrying ledger boxes behind.

The surroundings of the tunnel are built with blue bricks, which look very solid. There are lamps for lighting, one on each side of the left and right sides, so bright as day!

Yuan Bao looked around excitedly, time passed without knowing it, and after walking for about two quarters of an hour, the ground gradually rose, and Yuan Bao knew that they had arrived.

The exit was also in a room. After opening the door, I found that it was a side room of a room. After going out another door, it was quite a formal hall, and Yuan Bao shouted, "Oh my God, there are so many people!"

Through the slightly opened window, Yuan Bao could see people coming and going in the spacious yard. They came in and out of the rooms on both sides of the yard, holding books, abacus and other things in their hands. Look busy.

Quietly walked to Yuan Bao beside him, stretched out his hand to close the window sash, "Just now there was a fire in the room, so I opened the window because I was afraid of charcoal gas, don't get caught in the wind..." Before I finished speaking, I just Seeing that Yuan Bao had already ran out with a "boom".

After a while, Yuan Bao ran back again, "There are more than 20 rooms, how many accountants must there be in it?" he danced happily, "I'm so worried, now someone will settle the accounts for us!"

Ni Yuze smiled but did not answer, while Jing Ning said, "You will find out later, they will come to see the young master."

She only went out for a while, and found that the big charts drawn by Ni Yuze this morning had been hung up, the boxes containing the ledgers had been opened, and they were placed one by one along the wall, and the servants had disappeared. Now, there are only five of Ni Yuze's personal maids, including her, that are the four "Jing". It can be seen that not everyone can come to this place and this courtyard.

Then there was the sound of footsteps, and the accountants came.

Yuan Bao swiftly removed the cloak, stood obediently behind Ni Yuze, and looked at these people curiously.

There were more than 30 people who came in, and they were not young anymore. The youngest was over 30 years old, and the oldest was estimated to be 70 or [-] years old. They were very excited when they saw Ni Yuze, and knelt down on the ground and called them "Master". , Some people even shed tears with excitement.

Ni Yuze stood up from the chair, helped the two leaders up with his own hands, and then sat down.

Ni Yuze first informed them of his physical condition—although he was not completely recovered, his life was safe, and the only thing left was to support him.

There were low cries in the room, and some people wept with joy.

Next, Ni Yuze explained the current situation, "I have been harmed to such a degree, how can I bear this breath, now is the time for us to settle accounts with them, do you have the same determination and courage as me?!" His words sounded like a war drum, and his expression was determined with anger, which made people excited.

Yuan Bao seemed to see the Ni Yuze he saw for the first time again. He was sitting there tall and straight, his extremely thin body was like a javelin with a white flag hanging on it, his grief had been transformed into fighting strength, even if the whole body The world is turned upside down, and he will not fall!

In Yuan Bao's eyes, such Ni Yuze shone like a star.

After Ni Yuze finished speaking, everyone was full of enthusiasm, but they did not lose their minds at all. After observing the number of ledgers, the first thing they discussed with Ni Yuze was to call for staff.

It turns out that this yard is where Ni Yuze's general account is located for all his businesses. There were originally about 120 people, but now all the "leaders" are left behind. Later, because of Ni Yuze's illness, the business plummeted. Many people either went home to rest, or went to various places. However, Ni Yuze has never treated them badly, and the salaries are still delivered on time, and the seasonal gifts have not been cut off, and they are still loyal to Ni Yuze.

After Ni Yuze agreed to call the manpower back, the next question these people raised was Ni Yuze's body. Like Si Jing, they also believed that Ni Yuze should rest. This matter should be left to them completely, or not. Do.

Ni Yuze nodded, first he followed their suggestion, and then pushed out the ingot.
