Chapter 14: Changed (4)
Niu San was stunned, and forgot to take it back with his round mouth. How did the girl know? He had only chatted with his daughter-in-law at night, and he hadn't even said anything to his son and daughter.
Niu San's ancestor was also a scholar, and he lived in the suburbs of Los Angeles. However, the Niu family is not as good as the generation, to his grandfather's generation, after taking the Tongsheng exam, he will not be able to pass the Xiucai exam again, the family is so poor that even the daughter-in-law left the child and ran away. It's really poor, and I don't want to farm as a coolie, just about to move into Beijing, the Yin family wants to buy a few literate people, Niu Tongsheng weighed it again and again, and entrusted a distant cousin-in-law who was a tooth wife, and then took a son (Niu San's father) and a daughter into the Yin family as slaves.
Niu San has always had an unusual "scholarly door" plot in his heart, and this time he tried his best to get the opportunity for the whole family to follow Yin Zhiruo, but he felt that Yin Zhiruo's temperament was so foolish, and he had a daughter Ruxia who was "close to the water" After earning a lot of silver for a few years, the couple took their two sons to redeem themselves, and offered their wise younger son and future grandchildren (in the Daying Dynasty, even if he was still a slave yesterday, as long as he got rid of his slave status today, he could participate in the scientific examination), and then he took care of Xia in the Qingyuan Marquis's mansion, maybe he could get an old lady in the future.
But he has always been a cautious person, such an idea has not even been revealed to his children, let alone let others know, where did the girl "hear" about it? Such a "sudden attack" made Niu San completely stunned, and he didn't know how to react.
In fact, Zhiruo is really guessing, just casually flickering. In her previous life, Ruxia seemed to be very trusted by the Ji family, and later became the head of the Zhuangzi, and her parents and younger brothers were ransomed out a few years later, and it is said that her youngest brother was really studying, and he was admitted to Xiucai within a few years of getting rid of slavery. It is not known whether there is a real middle lift in the future, or even a middle jinshi.
Unexpectedly, such a casual temptation made Niu San exposed. Seeing Niu San's appearance, everyone present was shocked to realize that Niu San had such "ambitions". However, since she wanted to redeem herself, the girl took the initiative to release her at this time, not only did she not redeem her silver, but also gave a hundred taels of settling-in expenses, why didn't she leave?
Niu San finally came back to his senses and grasped the key point in Zhiruo's words: "Only ...... The only chance?"
Zhiruo affirmed with a smile: "Yes, the only chance, if you people decide to stay, don't think about having another chance to redeem yourself in the future, so you must think about it." What she didn't say, and she can't say, is that if all of these people are good and needy, she can still get rid of their slavery free of charge in the future, and she doesn't have to redeem herself.
Niu Sanning was in a mess, he had been shocked by Zhiruo's vicious words before, and he didn't dare to doubt the "only chance" in Zhiruo's mouth at this time. What's going on? What's going on? Ruxia is right, the girl has really changed, no, why hasn't it changed, it's just a different person?
What should I do now? The monk of Lingyi Temple said that his six-year-old son Niu Jiabao was descended from Wenqu Xing, and all the hopes of their Niu family were pinned on Jiabao. However, now that they have left the Yin family, how long can they survive with that little savings and a hundred taels of settling-in allowance? It is no joke to provide a person with a study, and it doesn't cost money to repair the private school, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? It's all a lot of silver.
And he and his daughter-in-law are both in charge of the Yin family, the daughter is the first-class maid next to the girl, and the fifteen-year-old eldest son is also waiting to learn to be a buddy in the girl's dowry shop. A few members of the family live an easy life, with high silver and better food and clothing than those small households, but if they go out rashly, where will there be such a good life? What's more, he still expects to make a few years of fishing in this village, and at least save two or three thousand taels of silver before redeeming himself? None of their families are people who can endure hardships and stand hard work.
Niu San's mind was racing fast, he was measuring how much "capital" their family had to make the girl open up for them in a few years. Otherwise, no matter how much silver he gets, he can't get rid of his slavery and can't glorify his ancestors, right?
Zhiruo has not played much psychological tactics in the business war of the 21st century, and at a glance, he knew what Niu San was thinking, and sneered: "Although the Yin family is no longer beautiful, my Yin Zhiruo's place can't accommodate half-hearted minions, and no one can stay and leave if they want to." If it weren't for the fact that you are the son of the Yin family, a slave with a different heart like this, I would have sold it directly. Qi Bo, the formalities of Niu San's family have also been done together. β
Qi Bo immediately responded with a "eh", this Niu Sanhua has a lot of thoughts, especially in the past few months in Luozhou, but he has done a lot of things in private, obviously for his position as the head of the village. It's not that he doesn't know, he just doesn't want to care. They are all the girl's companions, and when they first came, they lost the girl's face and caused trouble for the girl.
Since Niu San has a big mind and has plans to redeem himself, it is really not appropriate to stay, and it is already merciful for the girl to be willing to let them go, let alone pay back the settlement fee. However, Qi Bo was a little strange, how did the girl know that Niu San was hiding such a deep mind, but she didn't tell General SΓΉ and the county lord?
"Girl...... The girl ...... "Niu San and his wife collapsed to the ground, their minds were blank, and they shouted "girl" but couldn't say anything. They really don't want to leave now, but what the girl means, if they don't leave, will they be betrayed?
Niu San glared at his daughter-in-law angrily, could it be that she couldn't help but sue her daughter Ruxia, and then was accidentally exposed by Ruxia, right? Now the girl didn't know what the ghost had taken her to, it was so difficult, they had no choice at all. Strongly argued that he didn't have that kind of mind, and swore to be a slave and a maid for the girl for the rest of his life? What about his Niu family's "Wenqu Star"? What about "Glory and Ancestor"?
The third daughter-in-law of Niu who was stared at was extremely aggrieved, she had always been tight-lipped, how could she dare to reveal the slightest thing about her shadow? It's Niu San, who is proud of watching Jiabao writing all day long, won't it be when he drank two more glasses, and inadvertently revealed it when he bragged, right?
Zhiruo ignored them, and coldly glanced at everyone again: "Have you all thought about it?
Everyone responded in unison: "The slave (slave) will not leave, and has never thought of leaving." β
"That's good," Zhiruo paused, "as long as you sincerely stay and follow me, I will definitely not treat everyone badly in the future." Qi Bo, everyone else who came with Jingli, the same two choices, anyone who wants to leave, must report to you today, and leave within three days. If you don't propose to leave today, and if you are found to have acted irregularly or betrayed your lord in the future, you will be severely punished. β
Qi Bo nodded in response, today's girl really made him feel very pleased, and the general and the county lord could also look at the heavens.
