Chapter 197: Flexibility
Zhang Yunniang and others were shocked and confused when they heard this. She remembered to cover Niu Niu's ears at the first moment.
Niu Niu opened her eyes as moist as a deer and looked at Zhang Yunniang innocently: "Mother, I heard it all. Madam, I forgot. My ears are very sharp."
Zhang Yunniang:...
"You have to forget it even if you heard it. Don't believe these scary words." Zhang Yunniang said hurriedly.
Niu Niu said: "This sister didn't say who the eldest and second young masters were."
Zhang Yunniang immediately looked at the trafficker.
The trafficker smiled awkwardly and said: "Madam, please forgive me. This secret involves the name of a noble person and cannot be easily said."
Zhang Yunniang didn't mean to continue asking questions and wanted to leave with her children.
But Niu Niu suddenly grabbed her mother's sleeve and said: "Mother, can we take in this sister?"
Zhang Yunniang's face was full of doubts. Niu Niu has always been well-behaved and sensible, and rarely makes any extra requests, especially this time, the person is still a maid who obviously got involved in the inner house's secrets.
"Does Niuniu like this sister very much?" Zhang Yunniang asked softly.
Others were also watching Niuniu, and they didn't understand why Niuniu suddenly changed her temper.
Niuniu raised her little face and said, "I can't explain it clearly, but I always think this sister is very cute, and I always think she shouldn't be a bad person..."
Hearing that Niuniu couldn't explain it clearly, Zhang Yunniang sighed softly and said, "Since my dear likes her very much, then I will try it for you."
Niuniu's eyes lit up instantly.
After Zhang Yunniang touched her daughter's little head, she turned around and negotiated with the brigand.
The brigand didn't expect that even though he had explained it so clearly, Zhang Yunniang still insisted on buying a person, just because of a word from his six-year-old daughter?
"Madam, the child is young, how can he know what is good or bad? If this matter gets to the ears of that noble, I'm afraid you and I will both be in trouble. Madam, please don't embarrass me." The brigand advised earnestly.
If this group of people had not done a big business with him today, he would not have persuaded them so patiently. If it were someone else, he would have scolded them directly.
Zhang Yunniang was not a person who liked to force others to do things. Seeing that the trafficker was unwilling to sell, she could only look at Niuniu with an apologetic look.
Li asked Niuniu: "My dear, do you really want this girl?"
Niuniu saw that everyone seemed to be in a dilemma, and did not insist, so she said: "Since it is not easy to buy, forget it."
The little girl ran to the trafficker again, took out a handful of golden melon seeds from her purse, and said: "Uncle, I will give you money, can you be nicer to this sister?"
The trafficker was in a dilemma for a while.
Li, seeing Niuniu's love for the girl, whispered a few words to the old nanny beside her.
The old nanny immediately ran over and whispered a few words to the trafficker, and gave him a silver ingot.
The trafficker hesitated for a moment, then took the money and replied to the old lady.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Li touched Niuniu's little head, blinked at her, and said, "My dear, go back and have a good sleep tonight. Maybe someone will come to accompany you tomorrow."
Although Niuniu didn't quite understand what Li had done, she instinctively trusted her family and nodded obediently.
After getting on the carriage and no one else was around, Zhang Yunniang immediately said, "Sister-in-law, you must tell me how much money this girl spent."
Li touched Niuniu's head and said with a smile, "Niuniu is also my daughter, why do you have to fight with me?"
When Zhang Yunniang was in the Gu family, she watched the sisters-in-law Chen Chunhua and Liu Erni at that time. The two of them would fight for a piece of tofu. Now that they are separated, they only fight to spend money, not to get benefits.
Seeing that Li was determined, she did not try to persuade him, thinking that she could make it up to Changshou in the future, which would be a favor to her.
Zhang Yunniang asked again: "Sister-in-law, the trafficker is very tight-lipped, how did you persuade him?"
Li smiled and said: "This matter seems complicated, but it is actually very simple. The noble wants the child to go to a dirty place. The trafficker cannot openly disobey, and he really has to send the girl to a dirty place, so that he will not be hated by the noble."
"But as long as we find out where and when the person was sold, we can redeem the girl before she is abused. Such a convenient favor, the trafficker will not refuse to do it if he gets the money."
Zhang Yunniang frowned slightly and said: "But if the noble family sends someone to inquire about it in the future, won't it be exposed?"
Li said: "The person I sent to redeem the body is going to disguise as a passing merchant, so that the noble family can Even if you want to investigate, I'm afraid you won't find any trace. "
Zhang Yunniang nodded and said, "It's quite appropriate for my sister-in-law to think so, but once the person enters the building, will they be reluctant to let her go?"
Li patted her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, you can put your mind at ease. For the madam, buying anyone is not buying. She can make a fortune as soon as she gets the person. What's there to be unhappy about? Besides, this girl is crazy. I don't know how much effort it will take to train her. It's better to make a fortune right away. "
"But now that the person has returned to the Gu family, sister-in-law should also pay more attention to it and don't let the girl run away. It's a small matter if the person runs away. If she is found by the old master, it may cause trouble for the family. "
Zhang Yunniang nodded and said, "This is natural, sister-in-law, don't worry. "
Liu Xiaoru looked at Li with admiration and said, "Sister Li, you are smart, we can't compare to you."
Li was not pleased with what she said, but a bitter taste came out of her mouth.
She was originally a blank slate, but she learned a lot of skills to deal with civil wars in the inner house of the Sun family.
But even so, she still couldn't prevent her son from being infiltrated like a hole.
Li thought to herself that it was a good thing that she had Niuniu. If it weren't for her goddaughter, she would have brought the problematic nanny and maid to Beijing in a muddle. If something happened to the child, she didn't know how to live.
"I envy you more. Sister-in-law has a harmonious family and well-behaved children. Xiaoru is doing business outside and making her own decisions. She can see a different world." Li said.
Zhang Yunniang hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, now that you have arrived in the capital, you can spare a lot of time to do your own things. Although we are women, we must try our best to make ourselves comfortable."
Liu Xiaoru also echoed: "Yes, yes, sister Li, I am still waiting to see the storybook you wrote. You should try to write more popular. I can't stand listening to those pedantic poems."
Niuniu threw herself into Li's arms and asked: "Godmother, my mother said before that many storybooks are not suitable for children to listen to. Can I listen to what you write?"
