I accidentally became the Eighth Lady in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 223 Visiting the Manor

Three days later, Yunyan and Lao Ba took a large group of people to a farm in the suburbs!

Shishu and the others were packing their bags, because Yunyan and the others planned to stay in this manor for a while! So they brought a lot of things, after all, they had to bring all the commonly used things!

The Ninth and Tenth Brothers had never had any serious work to do, and they had always followed behind the Eighth Brother. Although they held a position of not too small or too small, the Ninth and Tenth Brothers entered the court late, and they did not have any big ambitions!

They look like they are doing nothing all day long. If Lao Jiu and Lao + were not Kangxi's biological sons, Kangxi would have exiled them to the frontier long ago. They are really the kind of people who just collect salaries and do nothing!

In fact, the officials of the two departments where the Ninth and Tenth Brothers are staying, wish that the Ninth and Tenth Brothers would not go to the yamen every day, because the Ninth and Tenth Brothers are the emperor's sons!

Even though their official positions were higher than those of Lao Jiu and Lao Shi, they could only serve as followers, so how could they dare to command them? Lao Jiu and Lao Shi were already doing them a great favor by not bothering them!

Not to mention the Eighth Brother, since he got married, he has never been to the government office if it weren't for the Fourth Brother keeping a close eye on him! It's not easy to get this thing done, but he's not running away!

Lao Ba held Yunyan's hand and walked along the small path on the farm. He looked at everything on the farm in a good mood. Lao Ba felt that the days in the past few days were really not a life for human beings. It turned out that once people get used to a leisurely life, they don't want to live a busy life!

If the fourth brother knew what the eighth brother was thinking, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. You know, he is often busy until the middle of the night. No one is more diligent than him!

Lao Ba: "How is Yan'er? Isn't this farm nice?"

Yunyan: "Yes, it is. I am just wondering why the three of you have your manors together? Did you build them here on purpose?"

Lao Ba shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Lao Jiu bought it first. Then I thought it was good here, so I bought all the houses around here!"

Lao Ba: "Yan Er, guess where Lao Shi's farm came from?"

Yunyan looked at Lao Ba with a strange expression. Looking at Lao Ba's half-smile, she knew that it must be something special!

Yunyan: "From what you said, it seems that Old Ten's farm was not bought by him. It was either given to him by you or Old Nine, right?"

The Eighth Old Man smiled and shook his head, saying with a smug look on his face, "Yan'er, you are wrong! The manor of the Tenth Old Man was not bought by the two of us. We were planning to buy ten for him, but unfortunately we were too slow and someone else got there first!"

When Yunyan heard what Lao Ba said, she became even more confused and asked in a tentative tone, "Could it be Lao Shi's uncle?"

Lao Ba still shook his head and said, "No, it's the owner of that farm. He knew that these two farms were bought by Lao Jiu and me, and I had bought almost all the land around here! So he came to my house and asked Lao Jiu if he wanted to buy his farm?"

When Yunyan heard what Lao Ba said, she frowned instantly and the smile on her face disappeared!

Lao Ba thought Yun Yan had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "Yan Er..., don't get me wrong, Lao Shi paid for it, even higher than the market price, 10% higher, so the seller didn't lose anything!"

Yunyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In this feudal era, even if the Eighth and Ninth Brothers did nothing, they wouldn't be able to keep the farm!

The Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Brothers don't have to do anything, someone will naturally do it for them. After all, in everyone's cognition, the three of them are one. It would be better if only one person's farm was here, but the Eighth and Ninth Brothers' farms are here, it's impossible not to think wrongly!

However, although Yunyan thought a lot in her mind, she did not show any of it, because Yunyan did not think that she had the ability to change the hierarchy of this era!

Yunyan felt like she had integrated into this era and no longer felt out of place like she did when she was a child. In fact, her amnesia helped her adapt to this strange era better!

Yunyan knew that she was getting further and further away from her modern self. If it weren't for those memories, those things beyond this era, she might have thought it was a dream, a beautiful dream!

Yunyan's thoughts only lasted for a moment, and Lao Ba had no idea what was in Yunyan's mind, because next, Lao Ba's attention was diverted by Yunyan!

Yunyan: "Where did Lao Shi get the money? Doesn't he cry poor in front of you and Lao Jiu every other day?"

The Eighth Elder couldn't help but smile, pretending to cough, and then said, "Ahem... Actually, the Tenth Elder has not been poor in recent years, he's just used to it! Because the Tenth Elder's mother passed away early, and you know that my Royal Father is that kind of person. Those palace servants in the palace are all trying to take advantage of others' misfortunes. Even with the help of Concubine Yi, it's impossible to take care of everything!"

A dark light flashed in Lao Ba's eyes, so fast that Yunyan didn't see it!

The Eighth Old Man: "In the palace, no matter if it's a woman or a child, if they are not favored, they will not live well. If you want to live a more comfortable life, you can only spend more money! The little money left by Concubine Niu Hulu was spent by my father!"

Lao Ba: "It was only later, when Lao Jiu started his business, that we all felt a little more financially secure!"

Yunyan: "His uncle doesn't care?"

Eighth Brother: "Not everyone is as kindhearted as you, Yan'er. However, the Niuhuru clan is still good to the Tenth Brother. They give him some pocket money every year, but that's all. There will be no more help!"

Lao Ba: "Yan'er..., the concubines, children and officials of the previous dynasty in the harem are all connected by interests. If you don't have the ability, that layer of relationship will be gone!"

Yunyan pouted her lips and said with an unhappy face: "After all, it's all your Aixinjueluo family's fault. Why don't you treat everyone equally? Why do you have so many children? There won't be so many problems!"

When Lao Ba heard Yunyan's words, he was a little amused and helpless. Fortunately, there were only him and Yunyan here, otherwise, he would have to deal with the consequences!

But after thinking about it carefully, Lao Ba felt that what Yunyan said was quite right. This child is not a toy. You can play with him when you remember him, and throw him in the corner when you don’t remember him!

Lao Ba followed Yunyan's words and climbed up!

Lao Ba: "Then how about we just have two children? A son and a daughter!"
