The First Daughter of Rebirth
Chapter 72: The Eve of the Birthday Banquet
Time passed day by day. These days, Zhao Keren was in a very good mood, because she finally sold the villa in the suburbs, and she also sold it for a good price. That villa was enough for her.
It was sold for a good price of 40,000 taels of silver. Now, in addition to the 50,000 taels of silver for the white jade Guanyin statue, she could still keep 10,000 taels of silver for emergencies. This time, she was quite satisfied with Xianyun's ability to do things.
Now, she is not afraid at all that she will be discovered when the time comes, and she always thinks that she can just collect the money to buy it back when the time comes.
Zhao Keran had not seen Situ Xu in the past few days, but one morning, when she got up, she found a land deed placed beside her bed, which was the land deed of Zhao Keran's villa in the suburbs.
However, she didn't know how much money Situ Xu had spent, nor how to return the money to him. Moreover, no matter how she asked Qinxiang and Shixiang, they refused to answer. In the end, the matter could not be settled like this.
Forget it.
Time flies so fast, tomorrow is Mrs. Qin’s birthday party.
In Xia Yuyuan——
Zhao Keren was holding the white jade Guanyin statue in his hand, admiring it carefully, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really a rare treasure, no wonder it costs so much silver. However, I have to say, these fifty thousand
Two taels of silver are well spent."
Xianyun watched Zhao Keren's actions from the side, feeling quite happy in his heart, "Miss, this white jade Guanyin statue is really a good thing! Although it is a bit expensive, it is still worth it."
After hearing Xianyun's words, Zhao Keren smiled and said, "Yes, fortunately I acted quickly enough, otherwise, if cousin Yimiao had taken the lead, I would have regretted it. It seems that my decision is still the same.
There’s nothing wrong with that.”
"However," Xianyun was still very worried, "Miss, if someone discovers that you have sold the villa in the suburbs, what will you do then?"
Hearing Xianyun's words, Zhao Keren glared at Xianyun, "What are you talking about? How could everyone know! This villa has been in my name for so many years, do you think anyone has checked it out?
Besides, it’s my villa. I want to sell it, isn’t that okay? I didn’t steal or rob, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
"But, Miss, that other courtyard was personally rewarded by the Grand Master. If it is discovered -" Xianyun was still very worried.
Zhao Keren smiled and said confidently, "What are you afraid of? As long as we gather enough money as soon as possible to buy back the other courtyard, wouldn't it be fine?"
Xianyun nodded helplessly, "It seems like this is the only way."
Where Xianyun didn't see it, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Zhao Keren's eyes. It seemed that Xianyun was becoming more and more useless. Recently, no matter what she did, she kept her head and shrunk.
It will become a big deal in the eyes, so it seems that it is better to be idle.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ke asked, "Xianyun, when will Xianluo come back?"
Xianyun didn't know why Zhao Keren suddenly asked about Xianluo, but she still replied very respectfully, "Miss, Xianluo will be back in a few days."
Hearing Xianyun's words, Zhao Keren nodded, "Okay, I understand, you go down first! Also, put this white jade Guanyin statue away."
After saying that, Zhao Keren put the white jade Guanyin statue back into the brocade box and handed it to Xianyun. After Xianyun took the white jade Guanyin statue, he immediately put it away before leaving the room.
And in Chunhui Garden on the other side——
Yue Gu is helping Zhao Keran comb her hair and get ready for bed!
"Yue Gu, are you ready to return tomorrow's birthday gifts?" Zhao Keran asked.
While helping Zhao Keran remove the hair accessories on his head, Yue Gu replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss. I have already installed the screen and put it in the cabinet. There is also another gift.
It's installed and put together with the screen, so Miss, you can rest assured."
Speaking of another gift, Yue Gu frowned and asked, "But, miss, are you really okay with this? If the second miss is angered, will she do something?"
Seeing Yue Gu's worried look, Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Yue Gu, don't worry, Zhao Keren pays great attention to her external image. No matter what happens, she will always look good in front of outsiders.
You will never destroy your image. Also, I don’t know anything about this matter, so it’s none of my business!”
After saying that, Zhao Keran smiled coquettishly and stuck out his tongue, looking like a naughty little girl.
Seeing Zhao Keran's cute look, Yue Gu couldn't help but laugh, "Miss, you are serious, you can joke about such things."
Zhao Keran was very happy to see Yue Gu smile, "Yue Gu, I'm not kidding! Don't worry, I'm no longer a child, I have the ability to handle everything."
Seeing Zhao Keran's confident look, Yue Gu nodded, "I will absolutely believe in you at any time."
After Zhao Keran thought for a while, he said, "Yue Gu, you don't have to accompany me to the Duke of Qin's Mansion tomorrow. I just need Long'er, Qin Xiang and Shi Xiang to accompany me."
After hearing Zhao Keran's instructions, Yue Gu was very anxious, "Why! Miss, I want to follow you tomorrow! Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble."
Seeing Yue Gu's anxious look, Zhao Keran quickly explained, "Yue Gu, don't be anxious yet. I'm not afraid that you will get into trouble."
"Why is that?" Yuegu asked, "Why don't you let your slave follow you?"
Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Yue Gu, your grandson has been ill recently. You are very worried, aren't you?"
"Miss, how did you know?" Yue Gu was shocked when she heard Zhao Keran's words. In fact, her grandson had indeed fallen ill recently, and she had always wanted to find a chance to go back and see her grandson.
But because Mrs. Qin's birthday banquet was coming soon, she never mentioned it. However, he did not expect that the young lady would know about it.
"Yue Gu, I know that you are unwilling to ask for leave to go home at this time because of many things these days." Zhao Keran said, "But tomorrow is the birthday banquet. Everything has been prepared, so you don't have to worry.
.Go home and see your little grandson tomorrow! Otherwise, if you are worried about him all the time, how can you have the energy to do other things?"
"Miss." After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Yue Gu was very moved. She never thought that the young lady had been silently caring about her, but she still felt uneasy, "How about, young lady, after tomorrow's birthday party?
, let me go home again!”
Zhao Keran smiled and shook his head, "Yuegu, it's really not necessary. I will set off for tomorrow's birthday party with my mother and Keren. Moreover, there are Long'er, Qinxiang and Shixiang.
!You don’t have to worry. You have to go back tomorrow and just take good care of your little grandson."
Hearing what Zhao Keran said, Yue Gu no longer refused, "Okay! I won't accompany you tomorrow, so you must be careful! Also, be careful with the second lady! If anything happens,
If you have something to do, just tell Long'er and the others to do it, you know?"
"Okay!" Hearing Yue Gu's instructions, Zhao Keran nodded repeatedly, "Yue Gu, don't worry! I'm just going to celebrate my birthday. Plus, it's my maternal grandfather's house there. What can happen? It's you.
, it seems that I haven’t been back for a long time. When you go home this time, you can rest at home for a few days and spend time with your family. There is no need to rush back, you know?"
"Okay." Yue Gu also listened to Zhao Keran's persuasion and nodded.
Seeing Yue Gu's gray hair on her temples, Zhao Keran asked, "Yue Gu, you are actually not young anymore. Have you ever thought about going home to take care of yourself?"
Hearing Zhao Keran's words, Yue Gu asked in a panic, "Miss, is this slave too old and no longer useful, so you don't want her to serve you anymore?"
Hearing Yue Gu's words, Zhao Keran quickly explained, "No, no, absolutely not, Yue Gu, how could I dislike you!"
Zhao Keran grabbed Yue Gu's Shou and held it tightly, "Yue Gu, you have brought me up since I was a child. In my mind, you are actually no different from my mother. But Yue Gu, it has been so many years, you
You have been by my side like this, what about your family? Do you miss them very much? Also, just because you are by my side, even if your little grandson is sick, you can't be by her side.
Take care of you. Also, your son and your daughter-in-law, don’t you miss them at all? When other people were as old as you, they would have been raising their children at home and raising grandchildren. But what about you?
You are still waiting by my side all the time, and you almost never have time to go home to see your family. Yue Gu, do you really have no regrets at all? Look, the lovely wet nurse was there when she was five years old.
You've already resigned and went back to spend time with your family, aren't you envious at all?"
Standing up to Zhao Keran's words, Yue Gu felt very pleased, "Miss, you have really grown up."
Yue Gu stretched out her hand and touched Zhao Keran's hair, "Miss, I'm very happy that you think about me like this, but I still want to stay with Miss."
After hearing what Yue Gu said, Zhao Keran wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yue Gu, "Miss, please listen to me first. In fact, I already liked Miss from the first time I saw her.
Miss. Miss, you don’t know, you were so cute when you were a child. In fact, after so many years, I have always treated you as my own daughter. So, no matter what happens, I will always be with you.
The lady's side."
"What about Yue Gu, your family? Don't you miss them at all?" Zhao Keran asked.
Yue Gu smiled and shook her head, "If I told you I didn't want to, I would be lying to you. However, after so many years, my son and daughter-in-law have long been accustomed to this kind of life.
. Even if I go home and live with them now, I may not get used to it. In fact, this kind of life is quite good. When I have a holiday, I will go home and live for a while. In this way, the relationship between us will
Maybe it will be better! If you really go home and live with them, conflicts may easily arise."
"Yue Gu." Zhao Keran knew that Yue Gu said this for her own sake. In fact, what mother would not want to live with her son and daughter-in-law! However, since Yue Gu has said so, then
It means that she will never leave him. Looking at Yuegu like this, Zhao Keran can't help but think of his previous life. Yuegu died just to protect him. Moreover, even after her death, her body was not sent back.
At home, she was thrown into a mass grave. If it weren't for herself, Yue Gu would have lived well in her previous life.
Thinking of this, Zhao Keran secretly made up her mind that she would take good care of Yue Gu in the future.
"By the way, Yue Gu, what is your son doing now?" Zhao Keran asked, and she found that she seemed to have never known anything about Yue Gu's family.
Yue Gu smiled and replied, "My son! He hasn't read many books, so he can't find any decent job. He can only work as a waiter in a small teahouse, barely able to support the family. But it's okay.
In normal times, I can help with my monthly income, and my family’s life is pretty good.”
After hearing what Yue Gu said, Zhao Keran thought for a while and said, "Yue Gu, a while ago, didn't you tell me that Keren wanted to sell the other courtyard in the suburbs? Do you still remember?"
Hearing Zhao Keran's words, Yue Gu was confused, but she still nodded, "I remember, but, miss, didn't you say we don't care about that matter?" 13acv.
Zhao Keran smiled mysteriously, "Yuegu, that lovely house has been sold, and the buyer is me."
"What?" Yue Gu was shocked when she heard Zhao Keran's words, "Miss, are you telling the truth? How could you have so much money? Also, if others find out about this, then Miss, you
It will also be dragged down."
Seeing Yue Gu's nervous look, Zhao Keran smiled and reassured, "Yue Gu, you don't have to worry, no one will know. Also, the money in this villa is definitely serious, so you don't have to worry.
Also, when I bought this villa, I asked someone else to come forward, and no one knows that person, so no one will know about it. Just rest assured!"
Hearing Zhao Keran's words, Yue Gu calmed down, "Miss, who is the person who helped you? Is he reliable?"
Zhao Keran nodded and replied affirmatively, "Yuegu, don't worry. He is a friend of mine that you don't know. However, he is very reliable, so you definitely don't have to worry."
"But, miss, why did you buy that villa?" Yuegu was confused. There was obviously another one next to the villa. Why did the miss buy the second miss's house?
Where is the seat?
Zhao Keran smiled and did not answer. In fact, when she first wanted to buy the other courtyard, she saw that Zhao Keren was eager to sell it and would definitely transfer it at a low price, so she wanted to take advantage of it. However, other than that,
In addition, there is another reason. When her grandfather gave these two villas to her and Zhao Keren, he let them choose by themselves. She actually liked Zhao Keren's one better. However,
At that time, because I was my sister, I let Keren choose first. However, Keren immediately picked the other house that I liked.
Jian Tian Zhao Renwu. In fact, that villa is not more valuable than the one he owns. In order to show fairness, the two villas chosen by my grandfather are not only connected, but also similar in size and value.
However, in the villa that Keren chose, there is a precious plum garden. In that plum garden, various varieties of plum blossoms are planted. When winter comes, it snows, and the plum blossoms in the garden are in full bloom.
Against the backdrop of the snowy scenery, it looked even more beautiful. I really liked the plum garden, but since it had been picked out by Keren, there was nothing I could do about it.
However, she didn't expect that Zhao Keren would sell the other courtyard in order to buy the white jade Guanyin statue. Since there was such an opportunity, how could Zhao Keran let it go? So, when she heard that Zhao Keran
When Keren wanted to sell the other courtyard, his first reaction was to buy it. And now, he has indeed bought the other courtyard and owned the plum garden as he wished. However, now, he has not
Find the right person to take care of that villa.
Thinking of this, Zhao Keran smiled and asked, "Yue Gu, if I said that I wanted your son to help me take care of that other courtyard, do you think he would be willing?"
"What?" Yue Gu was very surprised when she heard Zhao Keran's words, "Miss, do you mean you want your slave son to work in the villa you just bought?"
Zhao Keran nodded, "Yes, let him be a manager there. But don't worry! I won't treat him badly."
Zhao Keran has already thought about it. In fact, Yue Gu's son would be the best candidate. He has actually met Yue Gu's son several times. He is a simple and honest person. Moreover, not many people know him, even if he is there
If he works in a separate courtyard, he will not arouse anyone's suspicion. In addition, he is still Yue Gu's son. Yue Gu has devoted her whole life to him, so it is time for him to do something for Yue Gu.
"No, miss, are you telling the truth?" Yue Gu was overjoyed when she heard that Zhao Keran wanted her son to be a steward in another courtyard. Being a steward, no matter what, would be more rewarding than being a waiter in a teahouse.
There are many prospects. Moreover, not only the income has increased, but even if you say it, being a manager is much more dignified than being a waiter.
Seeing Yue Gu's surprised look, Zhao Keran smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will pay him accordingly. There will be ten taels of silver a month, as well as New Year's rewards and the like.
It will definitely not be less. All her treatment will be the same as that of the stewards in other courtyards of the Taishi Mansion."
"What, ten taels of silver?" Yuegu couldn't believe it. Now her son only had two taels of silver every month. Not only was his job easier now, but his income suddenly increased five times.
"Yes, Yue Gu, is your son willing?" Zhao Keran asked.
"Of course I am willing." Yue Gu agreed repeatedly, but then she thought about it, "Miss, is it because of your slave that you thought of letting your son be a steward in another courtyard?"
Zhao Keran smiled and replied, "Yuegu, you are thinking too much. In fact, my villa does need a manager. And your son is indeed a good candidate. However, I am not because of you.
I want to find your son, but because your son is indeed suitable. I have met your son several times, he is indeed an honest man, and he has been working in the teahouse for so long, I believe there will be
Someone with a certain amount of experience will definitely be able to help me take care of the other courtyard. Don’t you, Yue Gu, don’t trust your son? Or maybe you don’t trust my vision.”
"No, no," Yue Gu shook her head quickly, "Miss, how could I not believe you!"
"That's good." Zhao Keran said with a smile, "Then it's decided. Yue Gu, when you go home this time, you will talk to your son, and find another opportunity for us to meet."
"Okay." Yue Gu replied with great gratitude, "Miss, thank you very much for giving this slave son such an opportunity."
Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Yuegu, it's me who should thank you. You have been by my side all the time, and now your son has come to help me take care of the other courtyard. It's my turn to say thank you."
After listening to Zhao Keran's words, Yue Gu shook her head repeatedly, "Miss, I know that everything you do is for the sake of this slave. If you treat this slave like this, even if you have to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will not even blink an eye.
"
Seeing Yue Gu's serious look, Zhao Keran shook his head in a funny way, "Yue Gu, it's not that serious! I won't ask you to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. You just need to stay by my side."
.”
"Okay, I will always stay with you," Yue Gu nodded firmly.
Zhao Keran thought for a while and said, "Yue Gu, it's rare for you to take a vacation. Please stay a few more days when you go back this time! There's no need to come back in a hurry. It's enough for me to have Long'er and the others by my side."
Yue Gu frowned, "But -"
"Yue Gu, you don't have to worry." Zhao Keran persuaded, "Look, now I have not only Long'er, but also Qin Xiang and Shi Xiang! Don't worry."
Yue Gu was still not at ease, "But Qinxiang and Shixiang have just arrived, and they don't have much experience."
Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Yuegu, although Qinxiang and Shixiang are new here, their abilities are obvious to everyone. Didn't you once praise them for what they can do?"
"That's true." Yue Gu nodded, "Not to mention, Qinxiang and Shixiang are really capable, no matter what they do, they can do it well. Although they look delicate, they are really good at doing things.
, but they are more powerful than anyone else. I really don’t know where they worked as servants before, and how could their original master be willing to let them out."
"Yes!" When Yue Gu mentioned Qin Xiang and Shi Xiang's former master, Zhao Keran's face flashed with a hint of uneasiness, and he quickly changed the subject, "Yue Gu, you'd better comb my hair quickly! I'm going to bed.
"
"Okay." Seeing that Zhao Keran was tired, Yue Gu quickly speeded up her movements.
