Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 81 Unexpected Effect

Liu Guirong stood up straight away, blocked Yuan Bao who was sitting in the corner with his body, and whispered, "Yuan Bao, look, after all, he is my brother. It is a big deal to add people, and this time it is thanks to them..." pleading face.

Yuan Bao rolled his big eyes, and his voice was not low at all, "Is it a big deal that Qiaoqiao is sick and has no money to hire a doctor? Did they lend you money? Their children are children, but ours is not." ? Besides, have you been invited to the full moon wine?" Seeing that Liu Guirong was about to cry again, he waved his hand irritably and said, "Forget it, forget it. The sum of money is a gift, mother can weigh it by herself."

"Ah." Liu Guirong hesitated for a moment, then walked to the main room, she still had a monthly allowance of twenty Wen.

Yuan Bao also jumped up, opened the south room of the west wing and took out a basket, which contained a bag of brown sugar and ten eggs. This is already a very good full moon gift in the countryside, and besides, they only followed the gift and did not go eat wine.

Yuan Bao stopped Liu Guirong who came out of the main room, took fifteen out of the twenty coins in her hand, and handed the basket to Liu Guirong, "Here, if they return the gift, mother will keep it herself." Well, if you don't return the gift, at least remember to ask for the basket back!" He didn't shy away from the Liu brothers at all.

"Sister, what kind of life is your family living?!" Liu Fucai jumped up again, looking like he was about to hit Yuanbao.

Liu Guirong quickly stopped him, "Quick, quick, don't crack the eggs."

Liu Fugui took the basket and pulled Liu Fucai away, saying in a low voice, "The two brothers will be back later." This is about the Su brothers.

When they went out, Yuan Bao said to Liu Guirong, "Didn't I save five cents for my mother? Things are different and they are done beautifully." Those things were gifts from the little girl to Yuan Bao, why bother? Not into money yet.

Liu Guirong hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

After Su Chunsheng came back and heard about it, he told Yuan Bao, "Grandpa will bring the two uncles at most [-] Wen to the county seat, so they won't have money to eat by themselves." Su Youwang's facts, but Su Chunsheng couldn't figure out Su Youwang's real intention for doing this.

The following days of the Su family were prosperous and peaceful. Liu Guirong and Yuan Bao, who had completely given up their hearts, worked earnestly at home to make money together at home, and their attitude towards Yuan Bao and the Su brothers became more and more flattering.

Not long after, another happy event happened in the Su family.

One day at the end of February, Shanxi came to Su's house, and his attitude towards Yuanbao was obviously much better than before, "The young master rewarded you for these meals, and this box of silk thread is rewarded by shopkeeper Ni Zhong, and this account is for the big manager." For you, let you continue to make the network according to the above," took out the silver beans, "where is the network you made? Attach the account, give it to me, I will settle the account with you, and you will You don’t need to go to the county seat, and you don’t need to look for a change.”

Yuan Bao was so happy that she almost jumped up. On the surface, the box of silk thread only saved her [-] Wen, but the reward is counted as income. The income of [-] Wen can be copied by her ability. Once you go there, it costs nine hundred coins, plus Ni Xiaopang's gift, the ability and reality have increased by more than two taels of silver at once.

The most critical problem is that she and Su Chunsheng no longer have to go to the county to deliver goods. Although they went to the county last time because of some accidents, they spent more than 200 Wen in one go, but Yuanbao Forget it, not counting the loss of delaying Su Chunsheng's schooling, even if everything was normal, they would have to spend at least twenty renminbi each time they went to the county seat, and now they can save all of it!

Unexpectedly, the treatment of a big company is so good, no wonder the dismissal of the servants of the big family is a punishment method, Yuan Bao thought happily.

Although Yuan Bao knew the reason for this phenomenon, it must be that her methods of selling nets must have brought a lot of benefits to Yunjin, and Ni Xiaopang's purpose of doing this was also to covet her "achievements", but she still He began to thank Ni Xiaopang from the bottom of his heart - if Ni Xiaopang used her in this way, she would be very happy to accept it.

This incident encouraged Yuan Bao. When she went to the town to sell the nets made by Liu Guirong in March, she bought paper, pens and paints for painting. She must try the pattern design draft that can sell for 18 taels of silver.

However, the reality is cruel. Yuan Bao has never specially studied ancient meticulous painting, and the artist is very poor, and her design ability, which she is most proud of, is also in trouble-she has too little experience in this life. The things drawn are picking up people's teeth, which will not only make people laugh, but also cut off her money.

How to do it?Yuan Bao thought hard, if her design is acceptable to people in this life, it must also be something they have never seen before, and most importantly, it must be able to create huge economic value.

In May, Yuan Bao finally drew the first design draft of her two lifetimes combined. Well, she admitted that a large part of this design draft was actually a plagiarized cartoon design from her previous life.

Yuan Bao showed the drawing to the Su brothers in a nervous mood, and they said, "It's fun, cute, and pretty, Yuan Bao, you are so skillful."

Yuan Bao decided to ignore such unprofessional compliments.

Then let's come to the most objective evaluation. Yuan Bao stretched out her right index finger with supernatural powers, trembling a little nervously, and the price given by the supernatural ability made her vomit blood even more. not worth!
That night, Yuan Bao suffered from insomnia. While she was sad, she was also a little bit unwilling. Could it be that she could only earn this kind of small money of a dozen or so?

No, Yuan Bao clenched her fists under the quilt, no difficulty could stop her from running towards Yinzi, besides, there was also the pressure brought by Su Youwang, the devil who lurks all the time, she would not just give up like this.

In the days that followed, Yuan Bao became even busier. She started to do handicrafts. She thought, since the design draft is not good enough, let's make a sample. There will always be someone who has a discerning eye.

Moreover, Yuanbao was satisfied with the prices given by the ability for these samples. Yuanbao seemed to understand that the ability cannot give the price of immaterial things like "creative ideas", but the samples are different. It is real.

In mid-June, during the hottest days, the school will have a ten-day summer vacation. When Yuan Bao heard the news, he couldn't bear it any longer, and asked You Gen to send a letter to Zhuangzi first. After making an appointment with Ni Zhong, he waited intently for Su Chunsheng's short summer vacation.

Su Qiusheng heard that they were going to the county again, and proposed to follow. Su Chunsheng thought about it, and felt that Liu Guirong was in good health, so he agreed.

I don't know if it's because the food is good and life is going well, but in March, Liu Guirong's stomach is getting bigger and bigger. To be on the safe side, Yuan Bao asked the doctor to check her pulse every half a month. Every time the result was very good, Yuan Bao was still worried, so he specially went to the town to make an appointment with Wen Po, and only waited for the due date to take her home to live in advance.

Such careful, caring and caring made the people in the village very envious and admired. Even Liu Guirong himself said that after giving birth to so many children, only this time is the happiest.

Facing the scorching sun, the three children arrived at Qing'an County excitedly, hired two sedan chairs and went straight to Yunjinxiu Village.

Seeing them coming in with big bags and small bags, Ni Zhong smiled, "Why don't they tie the nets this time, and make ready-made clothes instead? If the style is not good, I won't accept it!"

Although it belongs to Ni Ji's shop, there is competition between the shop and the shop. The competition is the ability and reputation among the shopkeepers. This is called performance in modern times, and the performance is directly linked to the income. Each shopkeeper If you are interested, you can share the dividends in the shop, and you can also get other rewards from the Patriarch.

Even Ni Zhong himself couldn't tell how much benefit the Luozi sent by Yuanbao and the method of selling Luozi had created in Ni Zhong's hands. The sales of many products increased significantly because of the bundled sale.

Ni Zhong only knows that now Yunjin Guangluozi can sell thousands of pieces every month, earning dozens of taels of silver, especially the new pattern of Luozi provided by Yuanbao, which can account for [-]% of the sales volume. become.

The mere seventy nets that Yuan Bao sent every month were not enough to sell. Ni Zhong had already asked the embroiderers to dismantle those nets made by Yuan Bao, and slowly learn these new patterns. Some patterns are easy to learn. Some are difficult to learn, and the tricks that Yuan Bao is required to make every month are things that embroiderers haven't learned yet, and they don't sell much.

Of course, other shops are also learning these tricks, but they are learning more slowly. By the time everyone knows how to play Yuanbao's new tricks, Yunjin has already earned all the money that should be earned. It is estimated that Yuanbao will have a new look. Also coming out soon.

Ni Zhong gave Yuan Bao the money to buy the nets every month. In fact, he bought the fancy nets of Yuan Bao. More importantly, Ni Zhong was looking forward to Yuan Bao's next performance. It won't last long.

Fortunately, Ni Zhong waited, so Ni Zhong was very happy.

Yuan Bao handed over the pattern first, and Ni Zhong picked it up to have a look, "Is this a pig? It's also childish and cute." He just admired it without expressing much.

Yuan Bao was not disappointed, he quickly untied the baggage he brought, took out the contents one by one, and explained while taking it, "This is a puppet, filled with cotton, the weather is hot now, maybe It’s not easy to sell, but when it comes to winter, young masters and ladies will definitely like it, there is a layer of cloth inside, which is easy to remove and wash.”

"This is a pouch, a sachet, and a bag. There are single-shoulder and double-shoulder ones. They can be carried in this way, and they can be carried in this way. They are much more convenient to use than burdens and girdles. This is the handkerchief I embroidered. Not very good, I just want the shopkeeper to take a look. This pattern can be used as an embroidery pattern to be embroidered on the corners of skirts, etc. These are two children's clothes, and I embroidered them too. It is the enlarged pattern... "

Following the display of Yuanbao samples, Ni Zhong's face changed, from surprise to excitement.

What Yuan Bao couldn't see was that behind her, the faces of the Su brothers also changed. Su Qiusheng was as excited as Ni Zhong, but Su Chunsheng was different. His usual calm face in front of outsiders began to change. Nervous, as his face became paler, beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead and temples.

Encouraged by Ni Zhong's expression, Yuan Bao spoke more cheerfully, "This pattern can also be used in jewelry shops, to make hairpins, pendants on Bu Yao, earrings, and earrings are all very good. , there must be many people who choose them as birthday gifts, by the way, Longevity Lock! It is very good to engrave directly on the Longevity Lock or make a pendant, and it is also good to make a jade fan pendant..."

Yuan Bao took a deep breath and said the last sentence, "I'm selling this pattern!"

After Yuan Bao finished speaking, Ni Zhong lowered his head and stared at Yuan Bao with sharp eyes, "Who else have you shown this picture and these things?"

Yuan Bao had thought of this a long time ago. Since the last time she went to sell embroidery products at the embroidery village next to the county seat, she was fully prepared for the influence of the Ni family and Yun Jin, and she would never do such a stupid thing like flirting with a tiger's beard.

Yuan Bao waved his hand, "Everyone who has seen this picture is now in the room, and before this moment, no one else has seen these samples except me!" It's very poor, but the reason why you must embroider it yourself.

"Hahaha..." Ni Zhong made no secret of his admiration for Yuan Bao this time, "What a sensible little girl, I'll buy it for your picture!" He sat back behind the table again.

Yuan Bao licked his lips nervously, watched Ni Zhong rummage through, and thought, is Ni Zhong going to give me the banknote directly?Silver ticket, I haven't seen it yet!
Suddenly, Ni Zhong asked another question, "Why do you think of the painting pig?"

Yuan Bao triumphantly said, "This is a set of twelve zodiac signs. It is divided into male and female versions. There are 24 pictures in total. I will draw this one first and show it to the shopkeeper. I have drawn all the pictures well, next year is not the year of the pig, so I will draw the pig first..."

There are 24 pieces, 18 taels of silver for each piece, which is 430 taels of silver. Even if the payment is based on twelve pieces, it is more than 200 taels of silver. It is developed, Yuan Bao screamed in his heart.

"Okay, okay!" Ni Zhong didn't seem to care about Yuan Bao's little calculation, "The sooner you draw, the better." He finally found a piece of paper, held it in his hand, and was about to hand it to Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao also looked at the paper suspiciously, thinking, is the bank note so big in this world?

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Yuan Bao. Su Chunsheng went to pick up the paper in Ni Zhong's hands, his hands trembling, "I would like to report to the shopkeeper, Yuan Bao is not my sister, but my child bride-in-law. I will accept this contract for her first, but there are some things that I need to ask my parents to decide. To put it bluntly, our family now relies on Yuan Bao to support the family alone, and the fifth young master knows all these things."

Ni Zhong paused while holding the contract, but still handed the contract to Su Chunsheng. Ni Zhong condescendingly looked at the young man in front of him, his gaze was undisguisedly sharp, as if he was thinking about something, and finally He just withdrew the hand that handed out the contract, and said with a soft "hmm", "Then go back and discuss it."

After taking the contract, Su Chunsheng said, "Let's put this design and these things here in the shopkeeper's place. Yuanbao will not be made again in the future, and the same design will not be drawn again."

"Okay." Ni Zhong spat out a word. He felt that since the first time he saw Su Chunsheng, he had never underestimated this quiet young man, but when things came to an end, Su Chunsheng still gave him a Accident.

Su Chunsheng cupped his hands and pulled Yuan Bao and Su Qiusheng up, and quickly went out the door. Just after turning a street corner, Su Chunsheng held onto a tree by the side of the road, and spat out with a "wow--".

"Master—"

"elder brother--"

Yuan Bao and Su Qiusheng were shocked.

Su Chunsheng took the handkerchief Yuan Bao handed over and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to Yuan Bao who planned to hire a sedan chair to take him to the medical clinic, "It's okay, I'm just too... nervous."

"Nervous? You're obviously suffering from heat stroke!" Yuan Bao said while touching the sweat on Su Chunsheng's forehead.

In the end, Yuan Bao asked Su Qiusheng to hire a sedan chair, but at Su Chunsheng's request, instead of going to the clinic, they went to the inn from last time.

After drinking sugar water and taking a bath again, Su Chunsheng didn't look much better. Yuan Bao was about to mention the matter of going to the hospital again, but Su Qiusheng suddenly said, "Brother, think of a way, let's talk about it." You can’t sell ingots for anything!”

"Ah?" Yuan Bao was stunned, and then remembered the contract Ni Zhong gave them just now, and seeing Su Qiusheng holding the contract, it was obvious that he had already read it.

Yuan Bao took the contract from Su Qiusheng and looked at it too.

The contract is very simple, that is to say that Yuan Bao will be the embroiderer of Yunjin Xiu Zhuang from now on, and there will be a monthly payment of two taels of silver, and nothing else is said.

Yuan Bao was at a loss, "What do you mean? The higher-ups didn't say what they wanted me to do, and they didn't even mention the design. They just gave me two taels of silver every month for no reason?"

Su Qiusheng became a little anxious, "How could I give you money for no reason? Although I didn't understand it, this thing is definitely not a good thing. Otherwise, why would I be so scared?"

Yuan Bao turned his head to look at Su Chunsheng who was sitting on the bed with a pale face. He remembered what Su Chunsheng said about "nervousness" just now, and asked softly, "Sir, tell me, what's going on?"

"After signing this contract, you are a craftsman." Su Chunsheng said, the briefness was beyond Yuan Bao's expectation.

"Carpenter status? What's wrong?" Yuan Bao frowned, "Then what status am I now?"

Su Chunsheng stumbled when he said, "A craftsman...can't take the scientific examination, and his background is still behind the merchant..."

Yuan Bao thought, what does the scientific examination have to do with me?He looked at Su Chunsheng with dark eyes.

Su Chunsheng had nowhere to hide, so he could only murmur, "You are a slave now."

Yuan Bao was not surprised. Child brides-in-law can be bought and sold. Is it strange that they are slaves? I think they are the same as the housekeepers of rich families, but they just changed their names, so they continued to ask, "Is craftsman's status worse than slave status?" son?"
