Chapter 145 Forced Gifts
The carriage decoration is very luxurious, and at a glance it is not something that can be found around here.
Cui Xin glanced at the direction and turned her head and said, "Madam, it seems to be coming to us."
Yuan Baoer straightened her body from the field, looked at her and continued to work.
Seeing this, Cuixin also started to work hard.
Not long after, the carriage stopped by the edge of the field, and a maid poked her head out, "Who is Yuan Baoer?"
The maid's chin raised slightly, her voice was slightly raised, and she was a little careless. The arrogance of the superior was very obvious to her.
Cui Xin was unhappy and came out of the field and raised the sickle in her hand, "My wife is in the seventh rank of official position. What do you do, dare to call her name directly?"
The maid was so scared by her formation that she shrank her neck and looked behind her for help.
After a moment, the decently dressed nanny got off the carriage and stood still with a smile.
"The old lady is the personal nanny in front of Mrs. Zhenbeihou, and was ordered to visit the wife of the Yuan family."
"I wonder if Miss Yuan is here?"
Yuan Baoer's head emerged from the rice fields and said lightly: "Is there something wrong?"
The first time the nanny looked at her clothes, and when she saw that it was a thick linen, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
"My wife was impressed by the righteousness of her wife. She ordered me to send some supplements, please accept it with a smile."
She turned her head and immediately someone carried out boxes of things.
"It is my own business for me to keep mourning for my grandfather, and no one else has to worry about it."
"You guys should come back with gifts."
The nanny smiled slightly and refused to say anything.
Seeing that the gift was about to be carried into the house, Cuixin rushed over and stopped the person.
"Miss Yuan, we have no malice, so why should you keep people from thousands of miles away?"
Yuan Baoer smiled, "It's just that he won't receive any reward without merit."
Seeing that she was so persistent, the nanny stopped the smile on her face and turned to get into the car.
The servant threw away the thing and followed it.
"Hey, stop," Cui Xin hurriedly chased after him.
However, two legs can't catch up with four legs.
In a blink of an eye, it was left behind.
Cui Xin stomped her feet in a hurry.
Yuan Baoer went over and looked at it and found that there were not only supplements, but also some silk, satin and other objects.
She didn't know anything about Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and she didn't think that with her current status and identity, there was anything that could be handed over to someone else's consent.
She ordered Cuixin to call the clan leader to explain the situation.
The patriarch was a little confused, "What do you want to deal with?"
Yuan Baoer said: "Since it is a gift, it is a kind of intention. I am willing to donate this intention and do something for everyone in the neighborhood and the four towns."
The patriarch still didn't understand, so Yuan Baoer pointed to the pitted dirt roads around him, "If these are repaired, I don't know if the money sold is enough?"
The patriarch looked at the things and estimated, "If it was just a flattening, it would probably be enough, but if it was a flattening and solidly repairing, it would be better off."
"Then raise funds," Yuan Baoer originally intended to make things known to everyone, and the patriarch's words were just right.
"I'll try this," the patriarch was a little moved. It was just that it involved a lot of money, and it needed to discuss with the clan elder and the gentry here before making a decision.
Yuan Baoer asked Cuixin to send her away. She went back to the house and looked at the pile of things in a daze.
The clan leader was quick and gave her news in less than three days.
Several families and local gentry were willing to pay together.
The patriarch was very happy, "The autumn harvest is coming soon. If we can repair it before that, our tribe and the people here will suffer less."
Yuan Baoer smiled and nodded, asking the patriarch to deal with these things on his behalf, and repeatedly explained that he would use up everything.
Seeing that she was so serious about her explanation, the patriarch became more distracted.
Soon, the neighbors around knew that the road was going to be built here. Because of the generous wages, they also took care of a meal. In addition, it was not busy with farming at this time, so everyone was very enthusiastic.
The patriarch quickly summoned people and divided the road into sections and handed them over to several temporary assigned foremen.
Yuan Baoer once heard Cui Minzhi say that there are many tricks in every project, and the most common one is deducting wages and rations.
In order not to happen like this, Yuan Baoer would patrol the construction site after finishing her work in the field. In the evening, she would go back to her grandfather's grave and talk to him about what happened that day.
Such days are busy and fulfilling, and early autumn is coming unknowingly.
At this time, the crops were ripe one after another, and some workers were going home to work on farming. Yuan Baoer stared at the payment of wages and confirmed that it was correct before he let him go.
The patriarch looked at the road that was only a little short of construction and was about to be completed, which was a bit awkward. "It's just a little short, and I don't know when it will be done."
Yuan Baoer followed him and saw that each section of the road was similar.
"Then go to the market to recruit some people."
The clan leader hesitated, "Otherwise I'll talk to the clan, let them squeeze in time and help them finish it."
Yuan Baoer thought for a while, "It's okay for the clan members, and I'll recruit workers at the market."
"Working together, the faster the better."
"If the money is not enough, I have it here too."
For some reason, Yuan Baoer has been having a lot of trouble in the past two days, for no reason.
Seeing that she said this, the patriarch nodded, "I'll make arrangements now."
The next day, the workers came indeed.
Due to Yuan Baoer's instructions, another group was summoned from the gathering.
Everyone was thinking about farm work and worked very hard.
It took only three days to complete the road.
Yuan Baoer stared at delivering the wages one by one, and confirmed that there was no problem before leaving.
When she got home, Cuixin asked her: "Madam, why are you like this?"
Even Cuixin, who was so nervous, could see that Yuan Baoer cared about money.
Yuan Baoer smiled, "It's just for the sake of it."
The next day, the clan leader came over to deliver her accounting books. Yuan Baoer looked carefully and confirmed that there was no problem, so he said he wanted to copy one.
The patriarch did not seek any selfish interests this time, and there was nothing to say.
After three days of this, Yuan Baoer was about to harvest rice when he saw a carriage or two coming from afar.
The nanny was still getting off the bus. When she saw Yuan Baoer, she greeted him and smiled and walked forward, "Miss Yuan, my wife wants to see her, but she doesn't know how convenient it is."
Yuan Baoer raised her eyebrows, "Where to go?"
"Of course it's our Zhenbei Mansion," the nanny signaled to get out of the car.
Yuan Baoer smiled, "Your wife won't know my situation, but she knows it but is like this. Isn't it because she doesn't understand etiquette, or she thinks she has some support?"
When Cui Xin heard this, she immediately raised her face, "Please go back, my wife is still obeying the rules and will not go out for a while."
"If your wife wants to meet someone, she will come to see her by herself. How noble she seems to be when she is beaten."
"You," the nanny is also a well-known person in the mansion, and has never been scolded so vulgarly.
She changed her face in anger. After a while, she sneered, "If you don't want to eat toast, don't blame someone for giving the wine."
